The Jan 1 Transformer just completed Round 1. They had 1879 winners in Round 1 for a pot that 2648 people contributed to. That's a 70.96% win rate, the highest Round 1 win rate ever and considerably higher than the average of 57%. Winners got $13.22 each, about $3 less than average (also the lowest Round 1 prize ever). The previous highest Round 1 win rate ever was last year's Jan 7 game - also the first New Year's Resolution game of the year. So, as I predicted, the January games are not good for prize money so far.
(Note: I write posts about the stats for all the games that are running, not just the ones I'm playing in, but my posts only appear in the feeds for my games. If you are in other games, feel free to post my blog there so people can see how they are doing. I'm currently in the Aug 12, Oct 7, and Dec 2 games. If you add me as a friend, you will get a notification about all the stats posts I make.
