Another round where the outsider bonus (only a single one, this time) made the difference, giving players the chance for higher scores and helping define the leaders in the standingsm, was Round 5 of the PickMaster Euroleague. This time it was Milano that fell within the bonus range, and combined with the extra scores invested by players, it allowed them to gain a significant edge in what was otherwise quite a demanding round.
The average score of the round was 81.58 points, with the highest reaching 179. The average number of correct predictions was 5.34, while the average deviation stood at 9.8 points per game. In total, five teams (Dubai, Milano, Panathinaikos, Crvena Zvezda, Virtus Bologna) won as underdogs according to players’ predictions, while four players managed to earn the medium weekly bonus with 9 out of 10 correct picks.
