Hi all,
I have had a few PM's on this so thought I had better make a post about it to try to cut down on this.
The PM shows the incorrect visual results. In particular for the Manly v Bulldogs game. For some reason it is reading this result from another game and I am looking into this today.
So for some it will be showing as correct when you tipped Manly.
This is just the PM only and there is no need to panic, your actual results and points are correct and you can see this on the leaderboard detail by clicking on your name.
For instance, I tipped Manly in this one, so the PM shows me as correct when in fact I tipped this incorrectly. however looking at the leaderboard this is recorded correctly and the Score within the PM is still correct

Additionally I continue to get questions on the margins, the way these are calculated are a little complicated. However more or less this is how they work.
If you tip the correct team to win by say a margin of 10, and they win by 6, your final margin will be
10 - 6 = 4
If you tipped them to win by 6 and they win by 10, your margin is still
10 - 6 = 4
If you tipped the losing team to win by 6, and they lost by 10, the margin would be.
6 + 10 = 16
and so on. That is probably the best way I can explain it, so basically if you tip the winning team the lower number is subtracted from the higher, if you tip the wrong team your margin is added to the actual margin from the game.
You think it's complicated to explain, you should try writing the code
