Smark Out Moment

As previously mentioned, Smark Out Moment has a new feature—the WWE PPV Predictions Contest, starting with Battleground 2015. The good news is: the results and winners are in! The bad news is that I accidentally deleted the Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt match from the form instead of the Intercontinental Championship match and I didn't notice until I went to tally the results. Sorry about that everyone! I'm kind of a spaz. So, who were the Smark Out Moment Prediction Contest favorites?


How does that compare to the betting markets?

For those of you who don't know, if there is something you can bet on, there is not only a way for you tobet on it, but an entire betting marketing that shows what the odds of someone winning are. This goes for horse races, political races, and WWE PPV events. 

Here's what the official betting market favorites look like compared to the SmarkOut Moment favorites. 


How did I determine the winners of the contest?

First, I just counted how many of the matches the person guessed correctly. The other way involves a points scoring system based on where on the card the match is located, with the total of points increasing the further up on the card the match is.

Winners by Total Number of Matches Guessed Correctly

Congratulations to John Bruce for calling all matches correctly! Six people correctly called 5 out of 6 matches: Chris Jester, Andy Murri, Mike Paden, Utkarsh Rajput, Shaun Walker, and Greg Woods. After that, pretty much everyone else but Drew White correctly called 4 out of 6 matches.

Winners by Point Scoring System

John Bruce came in first, obviously, racking up 21 points. Andy Murri came in second with 19 points. I came in third with 18 points.

Here are the full results of the contest:


Congratulations again to the winners and check back next month for our WWE Summer Slam 2015 PPV Predictions Contest.
