[DireWolfM14]

Announcing the NFL Pick-Em Prediction Pool.
Sponsored by Sportsbet.io
Predict the results of the weekly NFL (American football) matches for a chance to win a portion of the prize pool.
If you've ever been curious about American football, this is a great way to join the discussion and learn about the game.
I hope you'll join us for the fun.
 
The pool will use the Sleeper.com app to place your weekly predictions which start on September 5th 2024,
and will extend through the NFL season and post-season,
culminating with the Super Bowl on February 9th, 2025.

Sleeper makes entering your predictions very simple, and doesn't take more than a few minutes.
The rules to play are simple; pick the teams that you think will beat the spread prediction for that week's matchup.
Picking against the spread is a little more complex than simply picking the winner, and adds to the challenge.
Predictions will be made for all NFL weekly matches, up to 16 matches per week.
At the end of the contest, the participant with the most points (i.e. highest number of accurate predictions) wins the competition.
The number of winners will be determined by the number of participants.

How to participate

To participate send your payment to the address provided below, and send me a PM with your transaction ID.
Once your payment has 1 confirmation on the blockchain I will send you the invite link to the pool.
Anyone is welcome, and everyone is encouraged to participate.

Please register early to get the best opportunity to win.
Registration will be closed before the start of the NFL's third week, 8:15pm Eastern Time (USA) Thursday September 19th, 2024.

This is awesome, been waiting to see something like this and will have a quick chat with some of my clients for potential sponsorships

Joining too, in a day or two!

[morvillz7z]

Sent out the txid via pm already...kinda pumped for this regardless of how many people we get to join.

[DireWolfM14]

Six days until opening kickoff!

The season is right around the corner, and it's bound to be a fun start.

Also, I can't share details, but something may be developing on the sponsorship front.  No guarantees, but I will likely know one way or the other by early next week.

[DireWolfM14]

Thanks for the message, Im a little tied up right now but will dig in to this a little later on. You know I’m in!

Thanks for organizing this man and big thanks to Sportsbet for sponsoring yet another pool.

I would really like to join but have no clue about NFL and I am too lazy to research the games online. Would you or anyone else in this pool have problem if I give my account on the APP we are using to someone from my real life or forum? My current idea is to pay the fee and offer someone who knows at least a bit about NFL half of any possible winnings we may get in this endeavor. Not even sure if I can find such person. Just an idea at this stage I wanted to run by you.

Haha!  Cryptofrka is right, you'll have fun even if you just wing it.  What's that saying; fake it 'till you make it. 

Honestly, I don't care if you ask any or every American you know for help.  It can be daunting to learn about a whole new sport, but there's plenty of information and analytics out there if you choose to do the research yourself.  Who knows, you might find yourself appreciating our version of football.

Just paid for cryptofrka, buwaytress and myself. Let's see how this one will go. Please send us the link to join.

Got it, thank you, and thanks for joining.  Please check your PM inbox for the link.

[yahoo62278]

I'll be sending my fee within a few hours and joining you all in this. I am clueless on sleeper so if you get a chance @DireWolfM14 hop in the discord group and walk me through it please.

Good luck to everyone in this.

Awesome!  So glad to have you join us!  I think.  

And just so the rest of you know up front; yahoo62278's football IQ is something to behold.  Don't be surprised if he takes all of our money.  Don't say I didn't warn you.

I just sent in the payment for my brother, and also for nutildah and Hueristic so they will all be joining us.

We also have a couple of reputable members who'll be joining but paying next week.  All in all, we're looking like we'll have more than 20 participants before tomorrow's kickoff.  Exciting times!

[Betwrong]

I'm in!

Tx ID sent.

Someone brought up a concern about the sleeper.com app asking for your phone number when registering an account.  There is the option to use an email address instead.  It's not the default, so you have to look for and select that option when it prompts you for your phone.

I was able to create my account on the PC using a web browser, and only provided an email address.  If you're concerned about your privacy (and keeping a low profile from advertisers) that's the way I would recommend you set up your profile.  Unfortunately the website doesn't have the predictor function, for that we have to use the phone app.  But once your profile is created you can login on the phone with the same credentials.

Considering that the first NFL game is about to start, allow me to join this pool. And as for the registration fee, would it be possible for me to pay within the next two weeks or so?
