Heyo!
Just letting you know http://www.bitmadness.com/ is back with another free bitcoin basketball pool: this time, it's the NBA playoffs!
There's a 20 BTC pot and no entry fee, so what have you got to lose?
There's also a 1 BTC entry fee pool with an extra 10 BTC added to the pot.. why do that one? Less competition means more likely to win!
And as before, if you refer people to any pool (using the link you'll get when you visit the pool), if they end up winning anything you get 10% of their prize money for referring them!
Oh yeah, and you can of course create and run your own private pool(s) using bitcoin or cash, for free!
GO CELTICS!
josh!

Received my tiny payment. Thank you.
Hopefully this was a proof of concept this year. I see advertising potential with this, you could get some bitcoin businesses donating a decent amount of coins next year.

LOUISVILLE BABY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
that was an amazing game!!!
Also on the other game - I cant believe Syracuse blew it. They could of won that game but they were off, and they needed Fab Melo for the first time in the tournament.
Heres my free pick for today for all you bettors out there
Take Bayor @ Kentucky with the +7.5 Handicap (this is going to be a close one not blow out)
And the Kendall Marshall-less NC to upset the mighty Kansas Jayhawks

Also, I just made a new Sweet 16 "second-chance" pool, and now the links to invite people actually ARE referral links (i.e. if somebody you referred wins, you get 10% out of their winnings)!
You can make your own pool at:
http://www.bitmadness.com/new16.php
or sign up for a free one with a 25 BTC pot at:
http://www.bitmadness.com/pool.php?g=UC27YF84
or sign up for a 1 BTC one with an additional 25 BTC pot at:
http://www.bitmadness.com/pool.php?g=B99SNG25
(less competition for the 25 BTC!)
Note, for both of those the scoring includes a bonus for correctly picking an underdog!

is there a way to sort the rankings so we can easily see where we are in comparison with everyone else?
I added it now.. see:

I'll be adding that tomorrow!
Although it is actually currently sorted in order of max possible points, which is kind of all that matters (vs. points just being what you have now)!
I should add an "expected points" thing too!

Great Job with the site. Wish I saw it earlier, I would have created a pool.
Thanks! I do plan on hopefully offering Sweet 16 pools too starting Monday for the late-comers and terrible-pickers! March 15, 2012, 05:09:05 AM

Okay, Mtgox fixed it and it looks like it's all working now!
March 13, 2012, 12:36:57 PM
Whoops, sorry about that.. there was a bug where you could only mark them as paid after the tournament begins! Now you can mark them paid just by clicking on their entry name, there'll be a button on the right that says "mark as paid"!
March 13, 2012, 07:00:37 AM
For the cash sites, how do you mark people as paid?
March 12, 2012, 10:07:29 PM
Thanks for bringing this up.. I see where mtgox has been posting to our IPN with their API, but for some reason every post (the most recent one 1.5 hours ago) has had the status as "partial" (which implies < 6 confirmations).. I'll ask them what's up!?
