Do the final results of finals matter?

[Drummantx]

In the prediction thread, if the person who has the highest portfolio is wrong, but we are right, does that effect the final results?

[Xenon]

Yes! It absolutely does!

 

If the options you own turn out to be wrong, then they go down to 0 value immediately.

 

This means that even if your options are currently worth 14,000bb but they are all based on Pioneer winning Finals, then when Finals is over, all 14,000bb suddenly goes POOF! and you are left with nothing.

 

If, however, your option turns out to be correct, that option will immediately be worth 100bb. So, if you purchased 1 share of BD winning when it was valued at 50bb, you would end up ahead by 50bb. If you purchased BD to win when it was valued at 80bb, you would only end up ahead by 20bb.

 

If BD happens to lose by some unforeseen impossibility and you bought BD to Lose when it was valued at 10bb (when BD to Win was valued at 90bb), then you would come out 90bb ahead.

And I think you are going to beat me because it looks like you went all-in into Crown Down while they were still priced fairly high.

 

I still wanted to believe in their 2nd Chance. =-(

The 3rd time's the Charm.

I also wanted it too, it just doesn't appear it's gonna happen. Maybe next year.

Option contracts for corps that did not make finals have been expired (because it would be impossible for them to win). Login to OpEx to check your account activity for payouts and updated rankings!

I should have bought (down) some that weren't going to make Finals so that I would have more capital to buy down some more of these Finalists!
