IBN 2011 Eurobasket Prediction Game

[christodoulou76]

Since no one has started a prediction game thread, I am volunteering to run the game this year. If someone else was planning on doing this, I will gladly step aside. Just let me know.

IBN Eurobasket Prediction Game: The Rules
Submit your predictions each game day to this thread. I will enter them into an Excel speadsheet I have created and publish the results at the end of each game day (as well as cumulative results as the tournament progresses).

Please enter the results in the following format:
ESP-POL
If you think Spain will beat Poland by 12 points, enter in:
ESP-POL 12
If you think Poland will beat Spain by 31 points, enter in:
ESP-POL -31

The game's points are calculated according to this (modeled after the Euroleague IBN prediction game of 2010-2011):
* if your prediction of the winning team is correct = 3 pts.
* if you predict the exact point difference of the final score you get 5 extra pts (3+5 = 8 pts)
* your point difference prediction is off by 1, you get 3 extra pts (3+3 = 6 pts)
* your point difference prediction is off by 2 = 2 extra (3+2 = 5 pts)
* your point difference is off by 3 = 1 extra (3+1 = 4 pts)
* your prediction of the winning team is incorrect = minus 2 pts

Moderators: please make this a sticky thread.

Thanks Adon for providing Salih with some guidance on this. Everyone please make sure you follow the instructions - it just makes it easier for me to enter in the data and ensures fairness in the outcome of the game. On a positive note, I am excited at the large response to the game so far and hope more will join!

Hi everyone - thanks for joining the game. I have noticed that some of you have been editing your entries after posting. I kindly ask you to not do this (unless you have made an error that would disqualify your entry, such as only predicting 11 of 12 games). I often enter the predictions into the spreadsheet soon after the initial post, so if you edit your post after that, your changes will not be reflected in the database.

If you want to wait until closer to game time to make your predictions, please just wait to make your initial post at that later time rather than posting early and then editing as new information surfaces or because you change your mind about a particular prediction.

I have incorporated all edits made up to this point in time but I cannot guarantee that I will do this in the future. Thank you very much for your understanding.

It's obvious that you will spend a considerable amount of time and effort for our shake, but we take it for granted , forgetting the man who make it happen.

Hi Aidas,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! No need to apologize. The GRB was a typo on my part. The other two differences LAT instead of LVA and POR instead of PRT are due to the fact that I used the official IOC country codes:

Even though I said I wouldn't accept partial entries, I have included the partial entries for Red7, Xristos from today and AiwiTo from yesterday. I am such a softie! Besides, I don't want anyone to feel bad because of this game. There is enough other stuff to feel bad about in this world!

AiwiTo - your overall score will reflect this addition (sorry that it didn't yesterday).

Games not predicted in partial entries count as -2, not as 0. We could probably have a debate about this, but the issue that settles it for me is that the spreadsheet automatically calculates it that way. :)

[christodoulou76]

Since I know many of us on IBN like statistics, I thought it might be fun to generate a few more metrics from the prediction game database.

The metrics are as follows:

BUP (biggest upset): calculated by selecting the daily match whose outcome the highest number of players incorrectly predicted

UNC (uncertainty): calculated by selecting the daily match with the lowest [number of players who picked team 2 to win a game MINUS the number of players who picked team 1 to win a game] --> this determines the game with the greatest disagreement among players about which team will win

MAX8: calculated by determining the player with the most perfect predictions (8-pointers)

WI3 (within 3): calculated by determining the player with the most predictions within 3 of the actual score (sum of 8, 6, 5 and 4-pointers)

ACC (accuracy): calculated by determining the player with the most correct predictions about which team will win the game

If you can think of any other metrics that you would like me to report on, let me know. If there is a relatively easy way to calculate your proposed metric using Excel, I will add it to the list.

Day One Metrics:
BUP: GEO beat BEL (only 41 of 55 predicted this game correctly)
UNC: BEL-GEO (diff. of 27)
MAX8: Dtown and Re5pectas (2 of 12)
WI3: Dtown (7 of 12)
ACC: more than 15 players had 12/12 predictions correct

Day Two Metrics:
BUP: MKD beat CRO (only 1 (abbath) of 51 predicted this game correctly)
UNC: BIH-MNE (diff. of 25)
MAX8: Adon, MaccabiTA, melizei, Nikefalin, Toxicity, Nader7 (2 of 12)
WI3: achelim niabass and Deschain (6 of 12)
ACC: Beva, LTbotd, Migelitas, MrRager, re5pectas, Worrax and Liha (11 of 12)

The point prediction is pure roulette. There is no way to predict the difference. Games of chance are always funny though.;)

completely agree, especially at this point of the eurobasket, as many teams havent probably reached their full potential yet

Since you're a softie, can I add the last two games too?

Turkey-Lithuania -5
France-Germany -4

Wrong. Completely wrong.
That might be true if we are talking about 1 game. Over 60 games + next phases games, luck will be eliminated more and more with each day. It is no game of chance.

Actually, I realized that it is unfair to count unpredicted games as -2 since when a player does not predict any of the games on a particular day, he/she receives a 0 (I manually enter it). So I must apply this principle to partial games as well, to be fair. To recap: if you make partial predictions, the games you do not predict will count as 0, not as -2. Of course, this brings up the following issue: what if an early game is a big upset and almost every player gets a -2. Then not predicting that game becomes an advantage for players with partial entries. Anyway, I don't think anyone cares too much about these details - let's just proceed as described above.

You must count games that someone skips to predict as -2. Otherwise people will start to intentionally skip games that are close or they are not sure about.

The former Yugoslavian division (aka C) is really hard to pick.

[christodoulou76]

BUP: FRA beat GER (only 22 players predicted this game correctly)
UNC: FRA vs. GER (diff. of 3 --> this means number of predictions for FRA was nearly equal to number of predictions for GER)
MAX8: Gonzaka and re5pectas (2/6)
WI3: Gytaz, macleopard13, tiro1 (5/6!)
ACC: 10+ had 6/6 correct predictions

[Gytaz]

You must count games that someone skips to predict as -2. Otherwise people will start to intentionally skip games that are close or they are not sure about.

If they did that, they would be wrong. You get 3 points for guessing the winner (+ the possibility to get more points) and only -2 if you fail. Do the math... Even if the odds are 50:50, you're always better off making the prediction.

So christodoulou's decision is correct.
