I think the reason for that is because you have made so many picks that individual events are less likely to affect your %. What I mean is suppose a new user has 15 wins and 7 losses and then they do a Colosseum MMA card with 50 fights on it and they get them all wrong. That would tank their %. Equally, it would boost it if they got them all right. In your case however, if you did that and got them all wrong then those 50 losses would have less of an effect against your 15,695 wins than it would against that new user's 15. Equally, if you got them all right, those 50 wins would have less of an effect against your 7,099 losses. This is simply because those numbers are would only account to a small fraction of your total picks because you've made so many. You'd have to have either a consistently good or bad run of picks for it to affect the %.
I probably haven't explained it well but maybe someone who's better at maths could explain it better.

No worries man! I noticed a similar thing started to happen to me as well. I think once you get up to a few thousand picks, the individual events seem to have less effect on the pick %.

I can't help you with that I'm afraid, I use my laptop so I'm not sure how the making the ranking's work on the phone. The few times I have used my phone for using Tapology, the site looks pretty much the same as on the laptop so I'd guess you'd do it the same way by going onto the rankings part but I'm not sure.

I mostly post do rankings etc on my work laptop win 10 pos then only about 10 percent of my efforts are in vain.
At least they don't have sensitivity bots like other forums "reddit" and **** face book.

Sounds cool! it sounds like a sort of political/mystery/thriller type book. I don't really read to much myself but well done on getting it published! Here's the Amazon link for anyone else who wants to check it out:

I hope it does well!
