ReadON's PICK winning method (1) English ver

【greeting】

Nice to meet you, I'm yukkie!
Most of you probably don't know me, I'm the one who is in first place in total rewards on ReadON's pick. (as of 8/6)
Since I wrote the article yesterday in Japanese, I'm rewriting it in English for everyone overseas.
chatgpt does their best to translate it, but it's hard to translate when the original is in Japanese!
So if you understood the content last time, you don't have to read it because it's the same!

I've been hearing more and more from people who are doing pick who say they don't get many points and don't know how to choose articles.
I will try to summarize my knowledge as much as I can!
The explanation is roughly divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced sections! (This time, the beginner's level)
I will omit the way to do pick, so please refer to the information provided by 億にゃんこ and morokitch.

【Beginner】

・Simple flow of PICK

First of all, pick is rewarded with 200,000 points divided among those who bet on the articles they select (picked) and whose rankings are between 1 and 10.
The article ranked #1 will share the most rewards, but individual rewards may be less because of the popularity of the article.

・Pick calculation method

Pick is ranked based on the ENGAGEMENT SCORE calculated by four different scoring methods.
Collection>Comment>Like>View
10>5>2>1
(points distributed in the same order)

"collection" cannot be examined, you basically pick points based on "comment", "like", and "view" added together to estimate the approximate ranking of the articles.

In addition, the earlier you vote for an article, the higher the percentage of points you will receive.
The figure below illustrates the change in multipliers.

If you find a popular article early, you get a lot of points for it.

In practice, it is a good idea to make a primary selection based on the number of "view", and then compare the number of "like" and "comment" when similar scores are lined up among articles.
PICK is based on finding the most popular articles and voting for them. The easiest way to do this is to find the most popular (highest scoring) articles of the day, from 1 to 10, and distribute the points among them.

・ Example of calculation

Let's look at the following example to see the changes in the distribution of points that can be earned.

(Example 1)
An article A was picked for 1000p 4h after the article was posted.
The article A was ranked 5th, the total number of points picked was 100,000p, and the reward of 10,000p
The total number of points picked was 100,000p, and the reward of 10,000p was divided among the participants.
5(times)×1,000(points)/100,000(points)×10,000=500(points)
500 points are received as a reward.

(Example 2)
If the timing of the pick in (Example 1) is after 36 hours,
1.5(times)×1,000(points)/100,000(points)×10,000=150(points)
150 points will be rewarded.

As shown in each example, the reward depends on the length of time that has passed since the article was posted, so it is important how you can quickly identify and pick popular articles.

・Posting Time Variation Strategy

《5x strategy》
Aim for the highest multiplier by making pick within 12 hours after the article is reflected.
Pick articles by authors with high rankings in the past or articles that deal with the hottest news of the day.
＊ Naturally, you will have to pick articles early, so you will have to gamble more, and you will need to be experienced in identifying which articles will be popular.
5x/3 days

《3x strategy》
By making picks after 12 hours and up to 24 hours after the article is published, you can be safe and aim for the second largest multiplier.
If the points picked during the 3 days are held, it will be 3x/3 days, which is not that efficient...
3x/3 days

《1.5x strategy》
Take safety by doing picks after 24 hours and up to 48 hours after the article is published, while aiming for the third largest multiplier.
At the beginning level, the reward is the least efficient of the three days.
*Intermediate and advanced levels, you may rather aim for the lower level here.
1.5x/2 days

《0.8x strategy》
Aim for a solid multiplier while taking the safest bet by making picks after 48 hours and up to 72 hours after the article is published.
This is a great strategy for beginners, as the top articles are almost certain to be picked at this point.
If you pick with your sights set on the 1st through 7th positions, you will never be disappointed again.
However, because the multiplier is too low, the rewards are very small for the first three places. For advanced players, you may aim for the 8th to 10th place to get a result that exceeds the multiplier...
0.8x/day

・summary

The magnification and number of days are summarized below.

~12h (5x/3 days) → 10/6
~24h (3x/3 days) →6/6
~48h (1.5x/2 days) → 4.5/6
~72h (0.8x/1 day) → 4.8/6

For maximum efficiency, it is best to put in on the first day. The rewards you get look great (you can even get 5000 points!). There is also the reward. But in reality, you have to think about the loss of opportunity (finding a better article) in the remaining two days.
Of course, you can avoid this by making 3 separate picks, but I don't recommend this for beginners because of the high gambling nature...
It is safe to aim for a 1.5x or 0.8x strategy at the beginning!
