    Ok, first off there are 192 games in the year, and you bet between 1 and 192 on each one, using each number only once all year (the autoscorer adjusts re-used bets to the nearest unused bet).

    You want to have as many points as possible at the end of the year.
    Each game you get:
    0 for a loss
    half your bet for a draw
    all of your bet for a win
    one quarter of your bet extra for each extra goal in the margin of difference. (ie, win 4-0 and you get 1.75 times your bet).

    So bet high when you are confident and low when you are not.
    Don't worry much about weekly scoring, you will never need to know how it works to play well.
    If you do care, we assign each game an expected score based on your bet. If you score more than expected, your performance is positive, otherwise it is negative. Then we add up your scores for each game. The expected score for each bet is bet/2 + bet*bet/500 .
    If you dont' get it, don't worry, it doesn't matter.

    Just some thank you reminder rep for all of the work you put in on this.
    BTW, feel free (not just you, but anyone) to put in picks for the last few weeks.
    1) You'll get the hang of it quicker
    2) It'll be fun to see how high you can rise up the ranks
    3) You may be able to grab a weekly cup
    4) You may be able to grab a play of the week

    Try here in week 24: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=405223
