17 points this GW for me, but didn't win shit this week for this pool. Still, it kinda feels like win because I climbed a few ranks on the leaderboard.. I was ranked 14th before and now that GW5 is over, I'm up to 9th.
It's always the same story so close to winning, but never quite there. lol Same thing with the VegaBet contests in the games and the rounds. Always close, but never enough to take the win. smh
While winning weekly free $50 sure would be nice, I think aiming for the top 3 for the end of the season makes more sense, as prizes are really attractive considering low buy-ins. At the current rate of $82,400:
1st place: $1,854
2nd place:$1,112
3rd place: $742
So, being "close to a win, but not quite there" could land you in 2nd or 3rd place, which is better than winning a dozen individual weeks.
It won't be easy though. I'm looking at last season's edition, and the 3rd place averaged 13.26 points per round, while the winner averaged 13.62, which is pretty high.
