I believe harizen has a point, it would better if we will just submit our picks through PM and OP will just confirm in the thread upon receiving a PM.
We also analyze games but it cannot be avoided that some players might just follow us especially if we are consistent.
Topic: NBA Playoffs 2019 Prediction Pool(Discussion) (Read 411 times)
I don't know where will I post my concern. Here or in that prediction thread? Don't want to mess with that thread if you want to make it organized so I decided just to post it here.
It's fine to wherever thread you want to post.Anyways here is my supposed post on that thread:
"Count me in. I will join.
Looks like majority of future picks will be identical to each others (R1 & R2). And some of the picks might be used as reference by others.
Can picks be submitted to you via PM and just compiled and post it once everyone submitted?"
Actually I'm thinking of this also and it may result to multiple winners, thanks for your suggestion. "Count me in. I will join.

How about we will make it BTC0.005 for the entry fee, and maybe we can invite people from 2019 NBA Season who are very active in that thread.
I'm sure as they love to take about NBA they would also love to participate on this exciting game.

Thanks for your suggestions guys, I'll do this within this day about the rules of our prediction pool.
I already pm-ed some escrow and waiting for their reply.
Actually I'm thinking about a basic prediction pool so that other people that's not so into basketball can also participate.

Thanks for the suggestions Ipwich. I consider finding a trusted escrow to be the first and most important order of business. I will start contacting them personally next week and hopefully find the right person to do the job. I'm setting a deadline for finding one (20th March), this leaves us with 3 weeks to do everything else.
If you guys have any other escrow suggestions or highly reputed guys out there, please do share.

Awesome, happy to see someone else who wants to join. We are now 4 or 5 people with you Questat, I'm sure that by the end of next week we'll have around and over 10.
And hopefully, even more, within the next month when things get more serious and official announcements are made. As far as I'm concerned this event/prediction game will happen.

I might be interested with this one, but I will not confirm yet.
Also, I have a suggestion, How about we hire Hhampuz , since I believe he also love sports gambling but I don't know if he loves NBA, but since under his management now as a sig campaigner, maybe he can hold it for free or at a cheap fee since the amount involve is not that material.
Another escrow option is - bL4nkcode , very trusted one as well.

I will agree with all of your recommendations, count me in already in case this will be realize.
Let's have some fun here and I hope we can come up with an agreeable idea as the playoffs is approaching.
I haven't seen like this in the past that's why I am now excited to join.
I think it would be hard to facilitate this kind of prediction pool here in the forum as the post are editable.
I think it's doable. Posts might be editable but if changes are made (except for the first 7-10min) you will be notified. i.e dotted lines. There should be a deadline for prediction submissions prior to each round. Anyone who fails to do this in time will not receive any points as their submission will be deemed invalid. Post editing should be highly discouraged and accepted only if it is done within the deadline.
Things to be considered/done:
1. Find a trusted escrow.
2. Find at least 10 people who will commit and participate in the prediction pool.
3. Have a discussion about entry fees: 0.003, 0.004 or 0.005BTC.
4. Prediction format. So there will be four rounds:
1st round 8 games
2nd round 4 games
Conf. Semis 2 games
Finals 1 game
Let's say Bucks vs Pistons match up together in the first round and Bucks win the series 4-1. I would have anywhere between 2 to 5 points for correctly predicting the winner and 7 to 10 points for guessing the exact score. However, we need to find a balance between the two.
5. Have a discussion about prize pool allocation along with escrow fees.
6. Rules in case of tie records in the end, who gets the edge etc?
There are probably more things to consider...obviously
What do you exactly mean by that?
I'm sorry if I was misunderstood, interpreted OP's first post as him interested in participating and possibly holding a prediction pool.
Not sure if basketball fans here have ever had such a game/contest, having one would be awesome.
I know for a fact (and personal experience) that such initiatives require considerable effort and have simply offered my help to anyone willing to do it.
What I plan is to make a prediction pool only to those team that will be eligible to play the post-season so that would be a total of 16 teams from eastern and western conference but I don't know what platform to use because I think it would be hard to facilitate this kind of prediction pool here in the forum as the post are editable.
I'm open for any suggestion that could help to make this happen.

why is it there is no prediction pool regarding with the NBA playoffs?
Maybe because we're at the beginning of March only.
The playoff hope of the Lakers are slowly fading, they loss again today at their home court against the Bucks.
All of their mistakes happened in the 4th quarter and Lebron looks frustrated, with this loss their chance of entering into the playoffs is getting dimmer.
Final score is 131-120 and the lakers got beaten in the 4th only with 8-26 scoring.

As for the subject, how about we setup a contest here, for example with BTC0.003 (minimum fee), anyone can participate to have their predictions of those teams that will make successfully to playoffs. Of course it should be the exact teams that will take the first spot to 8th spot and a deadline since we are already on half season. Followed up details can be discussed later if majority wants this.
I guess I like you idea, it's not a big amount but I still like it, it will add more fun on the prediction game.
If you need any assistance, I'm ready to help. I'm positive we can get a decent amount of people to join in.

Interesting idea @OP, you can count me in!
I suggest that you look at how successful prediction pools have been organized/set up in the past.
Playoffs begin in about a month and a half (13th April) and we have plenty of time to figure out things, get participants, find an escrow, etc.

If we are just talking about the usual NBA stuffs here, then this thread will just turned to be identical to the usual discussion thread.
Let's just focus on the subject of the thread or else this might be a room for other spammers.

It would be really naive to think warriors are not the biggest challengers yet again.
Thinking Giannis has a shot with just one superstar team (and maybe Middleton as an all-star help) to go against 5 superstars.
I know cousins is not a great fit but he is a great talent that warriors could take advantage of, this team became champions with people like Zaza so it can't be that bad to have cousins. Warriors have absolutely no rivals this year at all, its even worse than the previous years because not only they replaced Durant for Barnes (which was 2 years ago) they also got cousins now so they are 5 all-stars instead of 3.
Realistically speaking this could be the year they go 16-0, maybe they won't and will lose couple games but there is absolutely no one that can take them in 7 game series. Do not mistake their regular season performence with playoffs, they will be much much better in playoffs.

Anyways the Warriors will win easily again this year and I don't see any teams even pushing them to a 7 game series.
Let's see if it's really easy, I guess they are not the same Warriors, although they are still favored to win the NBA Finals but as a gambler I would prefer on an underrated team. How about the Bucks? They have been very consistent lately, with a healthy GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO, they have a shot to upset the warriors.
Lebron in LA is good team then with many players that can shoot 3 point and 2 big center, Curry,Thompson,Durant,Cousin in GS so they also have many good star player there,In Rockets Harden,Capela,Chris Paul so they have good player,then this is my last team Boston Celtics with a lot of many players also so for me this four are can win a championship in NBA so that's unpredictable like crypto investment because there's a lot of good team that can win
Do you evn have watch NBA? Lakers is one of the worst team right now, with or without LeBron. Looks like LeBron is going to miss the playoffs for the first time in last 13 years and I'm happy for that because I know next season he's going to come back and show all of them who LeBron is and what he's capable of doing. Anyways the Warriors will win easily again this year and I don't see any teams even pushing them to a 7 game series.

OP is correct, that searched showed all star games and not NBA playoff prediction.
Hi OP, I glad that you made this one, playoff is approaching and it's very interesting to discuss this one.
I would like you recommend to put some pool, where we can choose teams that will enter into playoffs, or maybe it would be interesting on who will earn the no.8 spot since it's where the competition is.
If there are a good number of NBA enthusiasts we can come up with a prediction pool. I'll be the incharge though preferably if a mod/trusted guy does it, it'll see much more participation.
I've been following NBA 2018-2019 betting lately and have been giving out free picks for the community. If we can work this out, it'd be great and I'll solicitously participate. Following.

Are talking about such pools like organized by hilariousandco? Right now I participate in Premier League and UEFA Champions League prediction pool and it's really fun and interesting competition.
Why there is no pool for NBA? Probably mainly because there not so many people interested in basketball here than we have football fans. Also, why would need trusted member who will organize pool and will held prize money.
If someone is going to make NBA pool, I would be interested to participate. I'm not an expert in NBA, I just watch games sometimes. I have much better knowledge in European tournaments like Euroleague and others
