The PCM.Daily Fantasy Betting Season 2015 has come to an end after the last open bet just got paid out. It was a very exciting season with more than 200 bets and a fight closer than ever. Actually the tension was very high until the end as the first three in the rankings were within 20 points. Everyone, who at least once played our Fantasy Betting knows, how quick you can lose those 20 PCM$!
The waiting for the last bet deadline though was more exciting than the outcome. All three podium candidates lost that bet and no other could close the gap to them. So here the top5 of the 2015 season.
The winner of the 2015 Fantasy Betting is SportingNonsense. Our Super Administrator showed his knowledge of the sport but also showed how to win by betting only on a very small amount of bets in comparison to most others. 21 bets in total delivered him the title. Winning 1/3 of them was enough as he had a couple of big time wins. Most impressive surely the 80 PCM$ bet in the Tour de France Stage 12 on Rodriguez, which delivered him a win of 2000 PCM$. And while the odds were probably pretty well, only 4/54 had the money on him that day. With wins in the GP Wallonie and Paris-Tours he defended the lead late in the season. Congrats to SN for the Betting Title in 2015!
Runner up in 2015 is Strydz with just 3 PCM$ off. His biggest gains probably were during the Tour de France, where he had won important "Another Rider" bets on Stages 4, 11, 14, 16 & 17. Though he also gambled at times by spending 1000 PCM$ on a 1.10 odded Dowsett in the British ITT Nationals. Having lots of late season success since the Vuelta KoM and up to the last Autumn classics, he entered the podium and did defend it until the end.
The last step on the podium and as mentioned only 20 PCM$ behind is Elch, who started with some small wins in Marseille, Murcia, Oman or the early cobbles already. The big money though was also earned in one bet. Spending 550 PCM$ on the Vuelta KoM delivered him almost 2000 PCM$ in the end. Since then though he only won 3/11 bets and couldn`t pass the other two.
Last two mentions go to the next in the ranking. acac as 4th had some very high odd bets but lacked the success in most. Though he had one of the biggest wins of the season when he got 1444 PCM$ back when he had Valverde in Liege Bastogne Liege. Similar amount of PCM$ was won by Ohmmermer when he betted Contador as Giro winner and Greipel as winner on the Champs Elysses. But both were too far off in the end to attack the podium but also proved that missing the first part of the season can still move you very high in the end.
Thanks to all for participating in the PCM.Daily Fantasy Betting Game 2015 and hopefully we will see you back in 2016 for the next season. |
