Rank: 22nd

Accuracy: 87.56%

Congrats Levy!

And nobody got a score on Wild West Comedy Show.

congrats levy

Wow, even with a mediocre score, Levy wins the derby. I got tenth place with my score. That moved me up to 11th place for the year.

Congrats Levy!.

Im losing my groove! ... im sucking big time.

Yay Me!!

Thanks guys. Oddly enough that is my first derby win although I've been lingering around the top quite often...

Up to 2nd for the month and 12th for the year.

PS: I still think it sucks that no matter if you bet 1.1 or 100 on Wild West you get a zero.

Congrats Levy

255th for the week, 36th for the year, and 96th for the month. Hmm, maybe it's time to re-retire.

Well done, Levy!

A pretty bad February so far for us, and also the year is overall mediocre. At least it can only improve.

Hannah Montana is out for a third week?

Levy's avatar was quite prescient - nicely done.

It does suck that zeros aren't ranked, but I guess the alternative of negative percents would be pretty unpopular. It would help if BOM didn't allow movies into their "top 10" that had no shot at making the actual top 10.

By the way, I know my list of best predicters in Derby history could use some improvement, so I am creating a new list that corrects for games like this one (and especially the I Am Legend one that Corpse won) that punish a lifetime score even though you get #1. BOM has no such list, so someone needs to create it. I will post it as soon as I can.

I always use "Average Ranking" as a better measuring stick.

Is there a list for that?

Note: posting this one here in addition to the thread where I started this. This took some time.
Ok, so I got to thinking about the most fair way to rank the all-time best Derby predicters. Not to beat a dead horse, but since I started this thing, I wanted to do it right. The major complaint is the number of games played. But the main problem is that every game is of different difficulty. Corpse won the toughest game ever the week I Am Legend and Alvin and the Chipmunks came out, yet her winning score of 70.492 brought her overall average down, which is a disadvantage compared to people who didn't play that game (same for all who played that week). Similar story for Levy et al. this last weekend. Xiayun suggested average ranking as a better yardstick, and I agree, however, the problem there is the variable number of people in each game. To illustrate the problem, if there were a freak anomalous game of say 50 players, then a rank of 50 would seem pretty good, though you got last place. A rank of 100 out of 10,000 would be top 1% though it could hurt your average. To correct for these problems and be most fair, we should consider a player's score relative to the average score for each game, and then average those numbers. To these ends, I've considered only the 1000 players who have played the most games (1003 players of at least 31 games). This list is the top 10% or so of those, who have scored at least 10% above average on average (I thought Levy deserved to make the cut for the recent win). I'm sure no one is surprised to see Ragnarok still wins (who was that guy?). I know that there will still be resistance against those who played fewer games, but the relative to average score eliminates that as any kind of advantage. A higher number of games is still an honor in its own right though. I could also do a list to correct for improvement over time by considering everyone's most recent 30 games. But enough for now.

wow... i just notice that the past week was my worst since December 26, 2005 (64.777%), and a week after i got the best score in derby history... Does it still stand?

IM pretty sure it does a 97% is sick.

Oh yeah, the 97.11% is the best score ever (for the Chronic-what-cles of Narnia contest).
2nd place: 96.949%, sadysto (Night at the Museum)
3rd place: 96.945%, NetGhost (Night at the Museum, same game as above)

Ehh, so close, and so there's obviously something to regret.
At any rate, big congrats to asalem , me myself & Corpse, and Xia.

Hannah's Monday cost me the win, but I have only myself to blame for lowering Step Up 2's prediction from 22 to 20 to 17 in a 5 minute span.

Congrats asalem! And certainly Omni/Corpse as well.

Congrats Ahmed

Total KJ domination!

Congrats everybody...

Thanks everyone

My fourth win overall, and the 2nd in the last 10 games. 20th for the year, and 39th for the month.

Total domination by KJ

Good job Asalem. I got 32nd place this weekend.

That moved me up to #5 for the month, and I am in the top 10 for the year. This is probably the quickest I have ever been in the top ten for a calender year.

Yeah, the monthly charts looks good:

2. BJ
4. Xia
5. Scott
7. Dreamline
8. Myself
11. Corpse
12. Omni

And the Yearly chart is even better for KJ:
1. Xia
3. BJ
4. Corpse
5. Omni
9. Dreamline
10. Scott
11. Dib
13. Myself

Congratulations to to asalem. Great score indeed!
