Last week's Giveaway was a lot of fun, so we've decided to have the same contest again!

Here are the rules:

• To win simply guess the NFL team that will score the most points this week (excluding the Thursday night game)
• Enter by posting your pick and your BitBook username in this thread
• In order to enter you must have a BitBook account with at least 1 bet placed at or above 0.01 BTC (new signups are welcome)
• Enter before the start of the 1st game on Sunday (1pm US Eastern time, November 24th)
• Posts edited after this time for any reason will be disqualified
• One entry per person
• As mentioned, picks on the Thursday night game will not be counted
• If no one picks the winner then we will offer a new contest for the prize.
• If multiple people have a winning pick the prize will be divided amongst them (so you may want to differentiate)

Good luck!

I love this contest. Would be great to see one for "real" football ;) EPL

Glad you're liking the contest! You may want to re-read the rules -- no Thursday night football, which means no Saints this week.

Let's say two teams tie. Team "A" has 9 bets and team "B" has 1 bet. How are the winnings divided? Are they split evenly at .1 each? I think it's more fair to reward half the BTC to each winning side keeping the odds in proportion to the payout and rewarding those picking the unlikely team. The payouts would be 0.0556 for the 9 bets on team A and .5 for the bet on team B.

That's a great suggestion, but that situation actually came up in last week's contest (Seahawks and Bengals both scored 41) and we divided the winnings evenly among the winners.

Given the precedent we will keep the same rules for this week (all winners are paid equally), but in future contests we may add that rule.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes that would be much more fair. For example, almost everyone is choosing the broncos this week as they are probably the most likely to win this. If the broncos tie with another longshot team that only had one person choose it, it just wouldnt be fair for the person who chose the longshot against all odds team to win the same amount as the relatively safe pick of the broncos.

There were a couple entries that were removed either because their username was invalid, they failed to meet our requirement of having bet at least 0.01 BTC on BitBook, or because they picked the Thursday night game. If you think there are any errors in this, please send us a PM.

i was gonna chose packers but i felt like they dont even will win, now i understand i was right, lol

Hello, I'm not on the list??

My Pick Chiefs .. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=340706.msg3654659#msg3654659 in page 1,

Thanks :)

Our mistake. Added. If anyone else believes there is an error, please let us know.

I love being able to participate in this bitbook community event
Thanks for the constant support bitbook.biz

 :)

Sorry, i messed up at my post. At 1 page there was, broncos - coolkieto... Change coolkieto to tautvilis
Sorry my bad :D

Fair enough. We will use "tautvilis"

Thanks

if no one chose the winner, can the prize go back to the second team with more score or if the same happens, to the third team.

i mean, rams were very unlikely to score that much

I think prize go for next competion no for next team but final decesion is by bitbook

so next competition will be 2 btc? i think is better to leave it to next team, why wait 2 weeks that will be boring

no I don't think bitbook going for next competition 2 btc they will do again with 1 btc because its a promo not a paying stuff

i would like to hear what bitbook think about giving it to the second team, i dont like speculation coming from a member who dont even are in the contest.


anyway there are two more matches left.

As stated in the rules: "If no one picks the winner then we will offer a new contest for the prize."

If the highest total is from a team that no one has picked then we will run another contest next week for the prize.

To confirm, nobody had the Rams?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that no one posted for the Rams, but just waiting for confirmation from Bitbook. Looks like it's going to spillover to next week.

No one had the Rams, but the 49ers still have a chance.

LOL Rams too funny.

Have 1 question. When will the winners be announced?

Nobody picked the Rams, but there is still a Monday night game too.

So tommorow?

Yes, but if none of those teams oust the Rams, than there won't be a winner.

Unbelievable, almost 50 participants and none picked right. And we were warned to not to pick the same teams, but no one listened  :D

Well, everyone assumed the Broncos would win :D Everyone thought the Rams sucked.

I listened, don't you think I should get a consolation prize? :)  I was the only one on the Steelers, and they had a better chance than the Rams so I'm not that crazy.

Yeah, you were one of the rare smart ones  ::) Just joking, but look how we grouped around Broncos, 49ers, Lions, Patriots...

49ers can still win it.

i dint chose broncos only cause i saw how many people had picked them, i dont understand how they go for the same team no matter if they only get 1/8 of btc like if that team have 100% prob of winning.

yep me 2 broncos is my team

You should roll this contest over to some sort of Thanksgiving contest... Maybe like a total points for all the games that day or something

The prize has been rolled into a new contest: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=348043.0

Good luck!
