There's your answer. The short answer is that the algorithm for calculating stars and accuracy has changed massively since you last logged in. They've also changed the payments again.

You should take some time to read through their forums to get a better sense of what's going on.

Needless to say it's really not worth scouting now if you want to earn money out of it.

God it's all so different, can't find an answer to my next question either. Have tipped a few artists now, in my watchlist it shows 6 tipped and 1 tipped (with you win) by the side of it, what does that mean? Thanks in advance.

if you tip an artist and they make it to the showcase, you get £5 in investable vouchers.

I know that bit but thanks for taking the time to reply, was just wondering why one artist I tipped has "you win" by the side of tipped when the others don't?

jasonwatkins

who is the artist ?

happymumto2

The artist is Jamie George

Jamie George is fully financed - probably why you got 'you win'

Am glad I'm no longer needing to do it for the money! I went from a 3 star earner with almost 92% accuracy and 4100 songs under my belt to a 1 star after just 1 song! Am finding it quite amusing and challenging to maintain 3 stars now, though and have decided to reinvest everything I earn now rather than withdrawing it as I used to. Had reinvested £90 before I stopped using the site a few months ago and its now worth £129 and rising which is a far better return than I'd get from any bank.

just in case anyone isn't aware, the edward bell contracts are now on general sale so if you've invested & picked up your entitlement, you should now have some extra cash in your trading portfolio.

i had made about 95p just over 10 minutes ago, but now since everyone has apparently started dumping their contracts i've now made absolutely nothing!

Am really not geting their algorithms. I now have 3* with an accuracy of 85%, yet earlier was a 1* with an accuracy of 91%, it just doesn't make sense :eek:
