PredictCUP World Cup 2 million prize money Competition Strategy Ideas If you are also following the World Cup, then I think @ creditdotfun's 2 million prize pool betting is a game worth playing. Firstly, it provides additional bonuses, which are quite substantial. This way, betting on football is no longer a zero sum game, but rather has additional financial subsidies. People who play PVP extensively know that this is a good thing. Secondly, it is no longer just a simple betting game, but has turned betting into a strategic game that can be combined with precise calculations and human gameplay, To some extent, it has become a familiar betting and mining game for old Defi players, as you can even bet on football without making money and make big profits with Predict bonuses. Isn't this a variant of transaction mining? So I didn't explain the prize pool rules immediately after seeing them announced them, because this game covers a lot of factors and requires careful consideration. The combination of predictive ability, financial efficiency, schedule planning, and ranking game is the key to winning in the end. Today, I would like to share the key strategic points that I have come up with: ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～ The goal is not to make money, but to climb the leaderboard Many people make a mistake: I will buy whichever market has a high EV. ” But what really determines the bonus here is the Fan Points ranking. A： Predicted profit of 5000U Ranked 3000th in Fan Points Reward 0 B： Predicted profit of 500U Top 50 Fan Points Rankings Reward 10000U Actually, B won completely. So the objective function should be to maximize Fan Points/capital occupancy, rather than predicting market returns. Team selection is more important than betting Because there is still a significant portion of Fan Points ranking based on scores, it is difficult to catch up with the trend. Therefore, my approach is: Choose neither the hottest nor the dark horse. But choose a team that can go far and has moderate supporters The overall configuration is planned to be 3+1+1, with 3 championship winning teams, 1 mid table team, and 1 dark horse underdog team, while also considering the goal of winning the championship, ranking, and group stage earnings. For example, Germany, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, and Japan Make good use of the increasing prize money in the knockout stage Many people see the group stage at $840000 and feel that they should heavily invest in the early stages. But in reality, the final prize density is the highest. Assuming the first place in the final: 260000 × 20% ≈ 52000U. May exceed the sum of many previous stages. So the initial goal is to stay alive and not fall behind. Post production goal: Focus and strive for the top ten. ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～ I personally think that the design of PredictCUP is quite good, which is in line with the popular Fantasy gameplay in Europe and America over the past few years, breaking away from the traditional boring old routine of betting on football. The people who truly make money may not necessarily understand football the most, but rather understand "ranking psychology" and "financial efficiency" the most, which allows many people who are not so familiar with football to have the opportunity to make money. This World Cup month, I think we can take good care of it. If there are many people interested, I will continue to input and share on this topic Well Done, @dingalingts @predictdotfun
