Its looking like a 2 horse race, but its early days yet.......

early days indeed liam, i still have plenty of time to finish second roflmao

God Im doing crap roflmao

Aw, don't say that, SW! I've only got one lousy point more than you and i think I'm doing well (for me) roflmao

Don't know if this makes any difference to the scores, but Youzhny won this match in straight sets.

Unsure how I'm flying so high, could have sworn I'd made a complete pig's ear of my forecasts. Must be a weak era for predictions.

roflmao roflmao it sure is a weak era, i knew Youznhy had won in straights so points will be correct, thanks Wise :)

Unfortunately missed that one.

I think the scoring would be fairer if the result counted 3 and the right score was also worth 3 or even 2?

Losing or winning a match is more important than getting the right score. Winning or losing a set can be done to chance in many cases. So it shoudl be a nice bonus to have the score right but the fluke of getting the score right should not project you above the rest.

Just my 2 cent opinion....as some would say here.

weve been using the same system for nearly 2 years tenez.....

besides, predicting the amount of sets one player will win off another actually takes more than just guesswork imo, i prefer to look at current form and conditions before i decide what score a match will be rather than just tossing a coin, therefore i think correct score deserves more points as it takes more analysis than just 'picking a winner'

I agree. :) Plus you get more satifaction from predicting a scoreline. I'm hoping for such with Karlo v Bjorkman 3-2 but Karlo will probably lose now !

well ive got no chance of defending my FO title from the beeb last year :( my mates will flip if they are partying in london at the weekend and im sat in an internet cafe :angry3:

Oh no. Are you going away then?

im going saturday morning and coming back monday morning so not too long :)

hmm liam, what will you do in london ;)

All right, All right. It was just a suggestion ;) !

I do believe that someone who predicts the winner in 6 matches is better than one who gets the score right on 2 and get the other 4 match winners wrong. The current scoring will get those 2 even. Not sure if that's really right. A set can easily be decided on a net call so it is a bit more uncertain than the outcome of a match.

PS - Actually the guy with only 2 matches right will get 2 +6 = 8 points right? so he even gets ahead of the more consistent guy.

im sorry i still disagree :lol:

todays match between Jankovic and Venus for example. any idiot could suggest Jankovic would win, as she is the favourite, but anyone that delves into their history can see how their games match up, and see that it is usually a case of switching momentum between the two, hence going to 3 sets, and given Jankovic's current forum, it would be logical to predict Jankovic in three sets.
Therefore i think it fair to award the person who looks at the match analyctically the full 3points, and the person who just picks the winner 1 point :)

well if my hangover today doesnt disppear, i wont be doing much in london :( otherwise its Soho here i come :dancer1: :cheers: :party:

Yes there is skill between predicting a close match and a whitewash. I thought Jankovic the fave, but my gut feeling was 3 sets, over which I had no idea who would come through. I just went for Venus cos I could not decide and she's known to fight back over the longer matches but I was wrong. :) perhaps you shoudl give m points for getting the rigt number of sets but the wrong winner Liam.! roflmao

Anyway on some fo the men's, what if there is an obvious fave and you just call it 3-0. however someone thinks ther eis a chance the other player will make a game of it and goes for 3-1 or 3-2 and is right? Undoubtably more skill involved if you ask me. If we were just picking winners, everyone would just go for the faves and play ti safe, and it would be boring. It's realyl guttign when you pick an outsider to go 3-2, and others pick the fave for 3-0, and the fave comes through in 5 sets though. That's what winds me up most! :wacko:

Soho eh? Hope you are going to behave yourself young man, that's a dodgy place :D

No I don't think there is much skills as just being lucky. Federer for instance could have lost one set v Ascione due to many unpredictable factors. If we take the Venus Jankovic match, it went to 3 sets but could have easily been a 2 settter and only 2 points decided otherwise when Jelenan was 30 all serving for 5 all.

So I agree that having the score right is great and doubling the points of finding the winner is a great bonus but having triple point? Not sure. Skills? Luck? that is the question but what skills has he if he gets more matches wrong.

Just for the sake of discussing cause Fed v Starace is pretty one-sided...so far. Who wants to go for Fed in 5 sets roflmao

but the point is, it DID go to 3 sets. maybe you think predicting that was luck, but i dont believe in luck, the match panned out just as i would have predicted looking at the facts

Thanks :ok: You're doing a great job, especially given the appaling weather conditions!

and my alcohol dependancy :lol:

aaahhh, i got my results from the bbc, and it missed the second set (6-1) off. #remembers to use RG site for results in future# :rolleyes:

do you need a hand with this while you are gone liam??

yes i was gonna pm you. i am going to try and get to an internet cafe, but if i havent posted the matches by around 9pm then you can do it please :)

pas de probleme :D

merci beaucoup :P

I do take your point but you can get just as lucky if not more easly lucky, byt simply picking winners. There's less to judge in just picking a player than picking the scoreline.

This is true SB and this is why I believe my suggested scoring is fairer . I am not saying that getting the scoreline right should be worth little or nothing but double points..triple is a bit too much. This would be enough to make the difference between those who have got winners right and those who don't.

Take the Ferrero v Youshny match today for instance. More got the winner wrong that right. This means it is far from being easy in most cases and less down to luck than having the scoreline right. Cause if the majority can’t get the winner right, imagine the science needed to have the scoreline right!? And why not give 100 points if we give the number of games right? Now you might say more expertise is needed for that…I simply say more luck would be!

Now if between those who have it right we give double points for scoreline, it is a good bonus (well done btw on this one, cause you have it right) why tripling the points?

AsI say I can see your point. :) Maybe triple is generous but personally I like it that way, makes you think a bit and sometimes take a few risks on potential upsets for those points. Anyway enjoy it because we were the only 2 players who got 3-1 to Youzhny so can't be all bad.:D
