I notice a catch that some people fall into: If number of wins is 4, then points difference at the end can't be 3... :-) It can be 2, it can be 4 - but not 3.
Check this for yourself, you will see.
At this writing, apart from me, fourteen people answered MSC's questions - and exactly SEVEN of them have fallen into this...
@solskytz, I almost did that.

Lol to both of you! I do everything to improve the quality of the competition... :-)
It's possible that some members are gambling and while compromising their chances to win *all* points, they can at least win some of them. ;) However, thanks for the notice! :)

I thought about that - it may be a valid strategy - but they forego $100...
I just guessed the final score first and then based my answers on that. Very little math involved.

That would be known as "betting against yourself" and is a big no-no for experienced gamblers. Kinda like betting two different horses to win a race. In the long run, you will lose, because you are betting against yourself and your winnings won't cover your losses.

I realise I can't count. I was thinking with 3 Carlsen wins and 1 Karjakin win after 10 rounds the point difference would be 3 and and the match be over.
Apparently 3-1 != 3. (I should have used a calculator for that one 
)
I want to change to:
Number of games played: 11
Point difference at the end: 2
Average number of moves/game: 41.5 (I want a decimal to be more original 
)

He didn't say that we could guess decimals, like 41.5. If that's within the rules, then I want to change mine to 40.6. lol
prize 1 euro? are you mocking us?
As #58 said!
However, if you don't want to play, you really don't have to, pdela. But one thing is clear. If you're loud one more time before you make predictions (if you're going to, anyway), I'll block you till 3 days prior to Opening ceremony. You're allowed to talk about Championship in general though.
However, I offer 100€ if you guess everything. Your choice!
Just going to record this incase someone actually does this
