I'm pretty certain I can pick at 70%.
I'm willing to post .251 BTC that I can if somebody is going to give me even remotely good odds.
Rules:
- I get one round of 100 at taking the picks
- Once I reach 70 correct OR 31 incorrect the competition will end
- I can pick up to 5 games/teams per night
- Each night I need to make a pick. Unless there's no NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL games.
- Team/game can't be more than -150
- Escrow required (lol. had to say it.)
- Each attempt will consist of games
- If I win 6 games round will be over and I win
- If i lose 5 games then the round will be over and I lose.
- I get 5 try's/rounds.
Based on the response I get I'll be tweaking/adding/updating the rules.
Hope we can get some people that will do this. Worst case scenario is I lose 1 BTC.
I'm just throwing around number here, but I think500:1 1000:1 odds would be fair, no?
