well depends what rating the other players have who are in the pond ,if most of them are below you you wont get as many points for a win or second place but if there are some with high rankings that fall in before you you will earn more points , it will be more complex than that but thats the general idea .
ClayNashvilleTn: "Those are the people that are complaining! Getting the bonus with any kind of reasonable bid is almost impossible!"
a bonus is a bonus , sometimes getting a bonus by bidding higher than nessasary can alter everyones bidding ..lots of differnt tactics
If you bet 19,999, in round 1 , that would make you leve in the next few rounds because you would run out of points .... if you got all your points back +a bunus then that would work ...but for a bet of 19,999, you only get a 500 point bonus and lose the other 19,499
bry , the number 15 is the number of ponds available that you havent signed up for ..(its that way in my case) but i havent signed up for any more since fencer altered things .
is it possible to set some more up of this game ,maybe with fewer players in ...maybe on a weekly basis or something ...that way we could get some results before the first on finishes or even set some more unlimited going so we dont have to wait ages to get into another one ;)
i was one of those people who made a bet then looked at what people had done on the round before , thats why i brought it up on here a few days ago so other people wouldnt make the same mistake that i made ;)
oh well , there will be a few going for the 500 bonus this go ,but i cant see anybody going that high .... but i didnt expext anybody to use the whole 20000 last go either lol
