Consolidated Scores After 12 Months
At last I wanna thank you all for making CricZap a huge success and one of the most talked about pools on SN. It's huge because Cricket isn't US centred sport and many still don't know a lot about the game. It's huge because nearly a 300k Sats are rewarded in a year! It's also huge because I've made around 300 posts related to it. It's also huge because there are more than 10k comments made on these posts. However above all it's so huge because it brought along so much fun and became a sport in itself.
Annnnd a huuuuuuge thanks to @grayruby and @Undisciplined for supporting the pool - in a way like sponsors πŸ˜ƒ! I've to acknowledge that your constant triple digit zaps are the source of motivation. Without you guys, it won't be so much fun and competition.
I would also like to thank everyone who ever zapped the posts but not participating.

@User21000000 and @Carresan please make a comment below to recieve your reward.
Do you see this post in your 'hot' for SN? I can't. @grayruby and @Undisciplined
What else is needed?
reply
No, it's buried a few pages down.
Six zappers is on the low end of what shows up in Hot. Sports posts don't generally do well, because most of the high-trust stackers don't zap sports posts regularly.
It does show up in Hot for ~Stacker_Sports, as would be expected.
reply
most of the high-trust stackers don't zap sports posts regularly.
Yeah, that's what the case is most probably. Let's see if the zaps to winners make any difference. I'm also a high trust stacker ;)
Nevermind but a post in ~econ or some other territories will see a post on the 1st page if you and @grayruby zap that 420 and 250 sats respectively. That's why it seemed like a bit of partiality to me for ~Stacker_Sports, haha
reply
I think that's because trust is territory specific.
When we zap something in ~econ, there are more people who also tend to zap the same ~econ posts so the average trust value of the zaps is higher.
This should also be improved when personalized Hot feeds are reimplemented.
reply
You're right. I agree. But the problem I have is with the posts that have souch less sats by a single zapper but are ahead.
reply
maybe those were zapped by k00b
he gave himself perfect trust early on
reply
right. But who knows!
reply
Yes but have to click more a couple times to find it.
reply
Yes. We (you, I and @Undisciplined) must be very low trust zappers on ~Stacker_Sports!
reply
I think it depends on the activity within the post too. My NFL pick 'ems don't always get on the hot list even though they get sats and a lot of comments because no one is replying or zapping in the comments. Whereas if we are shooting the shit about a trade deadline move with a bunch of people weighing in and zapping, I think that is considered higher value.
reply
Considered
Who considers? A post irrespective of the territory shouldn't be buried if zapped by multiple users, similarly a post should not be ahead from it if only zapped by a single user and only zapped in very low amounts.
reply
Probably the trust system weighs too much on trust and not enough on zaps. The contribution of a zap to an item's trust-weighted-score is: trust * log10(zap). This means that someone with half the trust will have to zap 10 times more to get the same effect as someone with double their trust.
There's also a heavy time decay as well. So your older post is going to be downweighted relative to newer posts.
reply
Actually my math might be wrong with the double/times 10 statement.
But the point is still the same. A proportionate increase in trust has a bigger effect than a proportionate increase in zap amount.

Yeah I have no idea. Seems very odd. A couple of those are AI posts as well. Haha
reply
I see traitors everywhere, haha.
reply
Wow I thought someone would have caught me! Thanks everyone
reply
All hail the CricZap Champ 2024-25!
A 100K Zap to him.
Would you like CricZap to run for another season? - Yes/No
Thank you very much.
reply
As long as you're up for continuing it, I'm happy to keep being bad at it.
reply
It'd be easier to continue for me, if you start being good at it. I can't see you lose every time anymore ;)
reply
How dare you doubt my abilities
reply
Current Score: Team International 23 Team USA 20 #1274125
And the three winners on CricZap pool are all part of The Mighty Team International!
These are enough clues about your abilities, haha
reply
I vote yes to continue this great event!!!
reply
Damn! you want to see @Undisciplined lose again!
reply
Yes of course but he did seem to be heating up that last month so I think he can win one of the monthly prizes but I don't think he can win the annual prize. He doesn't know cricket like we do.
reply
He won the first month in previous season but then he never came close. He's very talented to hide his abilities though, he knows Cricket better than us.
reply

No. We know anything can happen in cricket, like baseball. He only knows how to analyze the odds.
reply
He only knows how to analyze the odds.
I highly doubt it. He has been buying Yes shares for 1.5M items in 2025 and No shares for 1.4M. Does that make any sense?
Yes, I would be fine with continuing!
reply
Congratulations @User21000000!!!
Great contest @Coinsreporter! It was a big part of the territory all year.
reply
This proves Australia is the best at cricket
reply
I keep picking Australia and my score suggests they must not be the best at cricket
reply
You must be patient good things will come
reply
Alright, next year I'll pick Australia even harder
reply
Australia and the cats
reply
Also the (big bloody) rats!
reply
Thanks πŸ™
reply
I can't believe I didn't win. Haha
Congratulations @User21000000
Amazing contest @Coinsreporter.
reply
Thanks πŸ™ I can't believe it too. You got unlucky like the Jays!
reply
So close!
reply
Incredible I have finished third! Unthinkable a year ago with my cricket's knowledge before this pool! Congrats to @User21000000 for winning it and @Coinsreporter for running it! It's been fun. It has been so tight after a year of contest!
reply
Thanks. You've been exceptional with your predictions. I can see you have a bright future at Predyx, try it out.
Zapped your reward, enjoy.
