Avg. Total Winnings (including possible ToC): $35,561
ToC projection update:
With a projected 92 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.3897 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.4258).
An average of 5.2307 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.743).
An early cutoff took place 21.193% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Tim Kutz qualified 51.784% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 15.145% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 3.059% of the time.
Fred Vaughn qualified 0.639% of the time.
(Note: Due to the possibility of a WGA strike, I feel that it is more accurate for ToC projections to add 20 games to the end of the previous projected qualifying period.)
Miscellany:
- Per our prediction model, a $20,400 Coryat like Abigail’s wins 80.78% of the time.
- The expected value of a $15,401 wager from Abigail’s position (she would have been 65.50% to win tomorrow): $56,843.87. The expected value of a $2,000 wager: $24,614.23 — a difference of $32,229.64.
