Welcome to NBA Block Pool Contest #8
Attention: Game rule revision
I will no longer carry forward prizes for unclaimed winning blocks. However, I will keep the new $1 SBD bonus for guessing the final score. Feedback is always welcomed, so don’t hesitate to leave me a comment.
**New Bonus Feature: **
Guess the correct final score of each team and win an additional $1 SBD
(Correct score can be within +/- 1 point or the exact score. Exact score will beat +/- 1 point in a tie)
Payout = 50% the SBD earnings + $1SBD
• 1st quarter = 10% of the SBD earnings + $0.20 SBD
• 2nd quarter = 10% of the SBD earnings + $0.20 SBD
• 3rd quarter = 10% of the SBD earnings + $0.20 SBD
• Final score = 20% of the SBD earnings + $0.40 SBD
Game Rules:
- Each contestant picks 2 blocks that are not already claim (first come first serve)
- The first 10 contestants may select 4 blocks; after that you get 2 blocks. I will only count your first 2 blocks if you select 4 and are not the first 10 contestants.
- Guess the final score of each team for the new bonus feature for a chance to win an additional $1 SBD
- Upvote is appreciated but not required (the more upvote the higher the payout)
- Resteem is appreciate, but not required
- Deadline is Sunday 6:00 PM EST (March 28, 2018)
- Duplicate entries will not be valid so do your due diligence and check the replies if your block is already taken
- RESULTS will be posted with @mellofello account
- Payout will be transferred after post payout (winners will be notified)

My Intro:
Hi, my name is Mello and I am part of team BeeYOU I had so much fun hosting Super Bowl LII Block Pool Contest that I want to host another. Rather than wait for football season to commence, I thought, “why not apply this to basketball?” It is a high scoring volatile game with some dramatic, memorable endings that will leave you breathless. Block pools are closely tied to the Super Bowl, but why not to the NBA All Star Games?
How to play the game:
There are 100 blocks available. After a block is selected, it is no longer available to the next player. Each player can pick 2 un-selected blocks. After all the blocks have been claimed, it is time to randomly assign the numbers 0-9 to each column and row heading using this website: https://draftkit.com/assets/pages/free-box-game-number-generator.html Each square represents the last digit of the cumulative score in the game based on the column and row numbers.
A winner will be determined at the end of the 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, and final score which includes over-time if it applies. The winner is determined by looking at the last number in each team’s cumulative score, and then matching those numbers on the grid and seeing which square intersects those two numbers.
Here is an example of how you would win:
If the cumulative 1st quarter score for Knicks is 25, 76ers is 24. The last digit for the Knicks is 5, and the last digit for the 76ers is 4. The square on the grid that has Knicks with number 5 and 76ers with the number 4 will be the winner for the 1st quarter. You have 5 chances to win.
HAVE FUN AND BEST OF LUCK TO ALL

switched it up on ya to change my luck!
I hope the move does change your luck @davemccoy. I am waiting to donate 50% of your winnings to a lucky newbieresteem follower. Who knows, you might hit all 4 blocks and the bonus. That will definitely make someone very happy.
Happy to hear I have your good wishes... I think you can move those numbers around and make sure I win too... Just do your magic mello ;) ... hahaha just kidding .. I have found this great new tool called tipu so here you go: tipuvote! 0.20
The only way to win this contest is through sheer luck. That is a cool new toy you found. tipuvote! 0.50
They changed the payout on tipu to 2.1x.. It is a 20% drop from what it was just just yesterday.. I still think it is interesting and they said they may change it back, but I wanted to let you know so that you were aware as the payouts aren't what we discussed. Anyways, just letting you know!
You got a 40.00% upvote from @payforplay! Please consider delegating steem power to @payforplay. We are currently sharing 100% of our profits with our delegators. That's correct, 100%! It doesn't get better than that. It is essentially running your own bid bot without doing any of the work. Steem power can be delegated here: https://steembottracker.com/delegation.html
Yes I love tipu and I agree about sheer luck! And thanks to miss luck, I did win!!! Yippee!!! I will see you again and 3 ish and we will experiment even more with tipu... I really like it and think we should let others know too...
Thanks again for the contest and I am happy to find a newbie to give 1/2 my winnings to!

I know... I love the feature... I will have to figure out how it works and how many times I can do it... I love the giphys that come with it too.. So it is something that you can use to help many people (especially if your voting power is low) ... Good job and you get my last tip of the day: tipuvote! 0.50

Hi @beeyou! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @davemccoy!
ok that didn't work.. I just sent you 0.10 sbd.. I want to upvote so I will try this: tipuvote! 0.1
lets see if that works
Thanks Dave, you are so generous. Anything I can do to help?
you can send in 0.50 to @tipu in your wallet and put in the "memo" section "deposit"
That will set you up for an experiment on it tomorrow when the bot has gone live again.
