Hey traders! It’s been a busy day. Two traders had a string of bad luck and ended up with most of their bankroll deleted. But the other six duels are still on and with 36 hours left anything can happen!
Let’s see who has it easy now and who still needs to work to advance to the Quarterfinals!
Quick Rules Summary
Finalists go 1v1, seeded by group score. Both traders reset to $500 for a short head-to-head window; whoever makes more profit advances. Single elimination, until one champion is left.
Best Trade of the Day
The best trade of the day goes to BeefSlayer_, who made over $350 predicting the lowest temperature in Miami. He has more than tripled his bankroll now and tops the global leaderboard in the Round of 16.
Congrats!
Worst Trade of the Day
HondaCivic gets the worst trade of the day second day in the row!
In the last 24 hours we have seen one bad decision after another from this weather trader. He had his biggest loss to date yesterday, losing $180 by wrongly predicting the highest temperature in London. But he also managed to add to it other losses, including wrongly predicting the Spain vs Belgium World Cup game outcome.
His chances to qualify to the Quarterfinals are slim now, but he already made almost $2,000 in the competition, one of the highest P&Ls we’ve seen.
Round of 16
Joker_Poly vs PROPHET
Despite promising, I didn’t find time to trade yesterday and now I have $238 to make before I’m even with Joker_Poly. He is slowly building his P&L and with only 36 hours left, I might need to risk a lot to try and get back in the game.
Maskache vs ClydeCash
Maskache had a rather rough day on the weather market, but his opponet had it even worse. ClydeCash lost it all on the combination of bad World Cup predicting and worse Elon tweet forecasting.
Maskache has effectively secured his place in the Quarterfinals—congrats!
Raskell vs OnlyLuckNoBrain
OnlyLuckNoBrain and Raskell are playing small stakes. Neither trader breached $100 in profit, or in loss. This is quite surprising as Raskell made us used to him making mutiples of his bankroll in a matter of days.
With 36 hours to go it is impossible to call the duel, but we are pretty sure that we will have plenty of wild trades to report tomorrow.
HondaCivic vs PMKFund
After an amazing run in this tournament, the weather gods have ultimately turned away from HondaCivic. He continued his losing streak into the night to end up with just $70 in his bankroll.
PMKFund’s patience definitely paid off as he is now looking to advance to the Quarterfinals without making any trade in the Round of 16. However, with weather traders it’s never safe to call it until the time is up. HondaCivic might still make a comeback.
BeefSlayer_ vs whiggeries
whiggeries is trying to prove that weather traders have a match in this tournament, but BeefSlayer_ is simply trading on another level. With $1,228 in profit he is on the top of the global leaderboard.
whiggeries has a huge gap to bridge now, but with $455 in profit his performance is top notch anyway. There can only be 1 winner in this tournament.
bernardbulletin vs WeatherOnly
bernardbulletin has barely clung to his lead as WeatherOnly is trying his best to advance to the Quarterfinals. Both traders have exchanged lead a couple of times already and the last 36 hours are bound to be extremely interesting in this duel.
aenews vs Rex416
aenews has not faced a trader like Rex416 yet in the Hive World Cup. Usually a couple hundred dollars in profit was enough to advance to the next round. This time, however, Rex416 is showing him how it’s done with a cool $804 in profit.
Can aenews beat that? We’ll see if he has the risk appetite to go in big.
Fuentes 99 vs thonka
Both Fuentes99 and thonka are trading sports markets, but it’s thonka who has the upper hand. Fuentes99 focuses on the World Cup, while thonka is all in on the MLB. With one World Cup game left till the end of the Round fo 16, Fuentes99 must make it big or go home.
We’ll see if he can make it, but we are sure he will try!
Wrap Up
That’s all for today! With 36 hours left, 2 out of 8 duels seem to be already resolved. But overall, traders are much closer to each other than before. It’s clear that the level of the competition is extremely high.
