OK, I have been trying to figure out a fun way to give away some A$FN besides just giving it away. I enjoy O's game prediction threads and wanted to come up with a different challenge that could yield large payouts to the winners, yet was still tied to the outcome of the games.
So here's how it works: You make a prediction (guess) as to how many total passing yards Kurt Warner will have in the 49er game on Monday night. If you are exactly right (unlikely, but possible), you will win two billion A$FN for every passing yard Kurt has at the end of the game. If more than one person is exactly right, the first person who posted their prediction will receive the grand prize, however all other posters who are exactly right will receive one billion A$FN for every passing yard Warner has at the end of the game.
In addition to any poster who guesses exactly right, the top five posters whose predictions are closest to the actual total (higher or lower) will receive pro-rated payouts based on the following formula:
- One hundred million A$FN for every yard minus one percent for every yard your guess is away from the actual total. For example, if you guess 300 yards, and Warner throws for 310, you get $31B minus 10%, or $27.9B. If you guess 220 and he throws for 310, you get $31B minus 90%, or $3.1B.
If Kurt has a wacky game and nobody's guess is within 100 yards of his total, then nobody wins.
This challenge is open until game time (5:30 MST) on Monday.
One small catch: I also play and guess first. If I win, it takes away a winning spot from somebody else. My prediction is 247 yards.
Good luck!
