September 1, 20187 yr Should have stuck with my convictions and stuck with a close loss instead of homering it up and picking a close win.

September 2, 20187 yr Can I get a formula check? I predicted Texas wins 48-9 (post #268). Actual score was Maryland 34-29.By my calculations it would work out as:200-25 [wrong winner]-68 [difference in margins 2(39-5)]-6 [difference in totals (63-57)]Total 101You gave me 81. Where did I figure wrong?

Difference in margins is 44, not 34. 39 minus negative 5. The 25 point penalty for the wrong winner is on top of the extra margin penalty.

My understanding is that the margin of victory is calculated as follows: You picked Texas by 39. Texas lost by 5. The difference is not 39 minus 5 (overall margin between the teams), but 39 PLUS 5 (margin of predicted Texas victory added to the margin of actual Texas loss). Difference in margin would be 2 x 44, not 2 x 34. nm. Huckleberry answered. Edited September 2, 20187 yr by Hizzaz Mahdoud

Difference in margin would be 2 x 44, not 2 x 34. Ok. I guess it wasn't clear in your explanation about difference in margins (39 vs 5). I knew I lost 25 for predicting the wrong winner. I didn't realize that also switched the actual margin to a negative.
September 2, 20187 yr I don’t know why but for some reason I expected to be higher. more disappointment fuck me
September 4, 20187 yr Kind of surprised the spread is going up after all the doom and gloom around the internet.

September 4, 20187 yr New player at the table! New player! Texas - 38 Tulsa Time - 10 PS - I just found this thread and it was bittersweet reading it from the start with the "foreknowledge of hindsight". The naivete and innocence was compelling. I love you guys.
