Looks like @ralle14 has been the only one to pick Booker.
Just watched him play last night and I was asking myself why didn't they rest him just like all the other teams did with those who were going to be in the all-star weekend events and the main game.
The New Orelans team did for Zion(benched) so it was kind of strange the Suns didn't do this for Booker as they were playing a Stephan Curry and Draymond Green less Golden state warriors team which looked like a g-league team with the players they had left to play. Undecided

So will allow ralle14 to make the change to his pick since it is more than 48 hours away.
But having this come up reminds me to put a vital rule up on here;
Posts done after the commencement of the skills challenge will be disqualified from entering in this challenge.

Phoenix’s Devin Booker has been replaced by Utah’s Mike Conley Jr. in the 2021 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday. Conley will also participate in the 3-point contest.

In case someone decides to pick Booker winning the 3-point contest, he is out and will miss the ASG due to a knee injury.

@rdbase : how do we determine the winner in case of tie? With only 3 options for this contest , I can see some of us tied at 3 or even 2 correct picks

I would say it will be determined upon the results being finalized on Monday.
Then we'll see at that point.
If there are ties then I am sure steve would accommodate the winners accordingly.

If there is a three way tie, then even more fun for those who get the freebets. Wink

3-point Contest - Stephen Curry
Slam Dunk Contest - Cassius Stanley
Skills Competition - Robert Covington

Im not sure which one would win the Slam Dunk and Skills competition but Stephen Curry would definitely nail the 3 point contest for sure. Alot of people will go for either Luka Donsic or Chris Paul but I'll go with Robert ( dont know why, just my hunch Wink

) Best of luck everyone.

Seeing everybody on Luka Doncic to win the skills competition.
Yet he had missed his last game for the Mavs due to a back injury so he decided to rest and take the game off, so to get ready for the all-star weekend and play the main game.

I think there will be more slam dunk competitors added the closer we get to Sunday.

Looking good so far Sportsbet thread members. Wink

Keep posting your picks!

I used to watch the highlight of NBA games frequently when Nowitzki, Yao, T-Mac, Melo, O'Neal, Odom, and Gasol were still playing. But now I have no idea about the current players except LeBron lol.

Yeah same here.. Not much idea about it. Left watching it an year ago. Did watched few matches in middle but still not enough to have all the ideas about the players.

Slam Dunk Contest - Anfernee Simons (asked friend to pick one for me)

-sniped-

Everything is crystal clear now !

In case any of you guys are having trouble following everything from the start , the tldr version would be

Pick one player for each category ( 3 players in total ) and write it down in this thread. Still over 72 hours before the match start.
Prizes : Freebets for anyone that make it to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd position. Limited shirts only for those that participated in the past

I posted the list of the players of each category here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.56489947 or simply visit this link https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/nba-all-star-skills-participants-lineups-slam-dunk-contest-3-point/183cxkb7fc5a713x5ubu9czyao

To the first question - Yes!
You choose from those which have been selected and if there are more added than those will be eligible to be chosen for your selections.
Only to post on here your picks for each of those three categories to have your choice of a shirt.

To the second question - Yes!
Those who have join in the thread in the past year, last year, this year - Whenever!
Just as long as they have posted their picks to atleast one multimasters to be eligible for a shirt as their giveaway prize for just entering in.
The freebets are available for anyone who wishes to post their picks on here (just revised this requirement to be offered to all forum members).

So basically open to everyone who wants to be part of this, so to have an entry point on to the discussion offered on this thread.
Just so not lock anyone out if they just happened to stumble on to it just now. Wink

Only the jersey offer is restricted to those who have been part of the past promotion of the multimasters.
Because steve has a limited supply of these and don't want to overstrain him on delivery charges of each shirt. Grin

You will need to have a betslip submitted on this thread for each of the following:
-snip-
Minimum bet amount to qualify is set to: 0.33mbtc per betslip so just under 1mbtc to participant.

According to the latest post, its free and we need to write it in this thread ( confirmed )

Quote from: rdbase on March 03, 2021, 06:36:47 PM

To participate all you need to do is give your predictions on this thread in text form, no betting required as those markets aren't available as of yet.

As for the shirt prizes, everyone that posted in this thread in the past year and join the NBA All-Star Weekend challenges competition will receive it as the entry prize but freebets for the prizes will only be given to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place accordingly

So this is stricly only for those that joined from the past year or anyone that join this year can still compete for the freebets? ( Yes, Freebet prizes Open for everyone )

I'll put in my picks for NBA later, but for now, I'm going to share the reasoning behind my strikes predictions, so we can see if a total noob has any real advantage when betting with stats haha.

So, I know nothing about MMA, or next to nothing. But I pulled out some stats for Israel.
Average fight time: 10.5 minutes
Average middleweight strikes landed per 15 minutes: 68

So assuming both are evenly matched, we're going to get about 93 strikes between the two of them if the fight lasts only 10 minutes.

I'll adjust for a time of 11 minutes and get 102 strikes =D

Is there a no option available? I honestly think we wont see $100k this year, probably peak at $80k or something if we are lucky. Its still too early for bitcoin to reach $100k tbh

I am also interested in this Grin

I think we might see 100k, after all, it's just 2x away. But these odds are way too small to tip on it for anything else rather than fun alone.

Sure, let's give this a shot.

3pts - Steph Curry
Dunks - Obi Toppin
Skills - Chris Paul

I used to love watching the all-star games but in recent times it became a game without any competitiveness - it's purely for show. I'll probably skip this one as well.

Unfortunately there's none since it's listed on their special and usually it's just a one way offer. I also think $100k is unlikely at the moment but the price surge that happened during the past 6 months is unexpected(at least for me) and slowly $100k is looking like a possibilty.

But still have the brand new to come in. Wink

How does everybody feel like having a good old challenge for the NBA All-star three pointer and slam dunk competition? Grin

Is this a new contest to replace the weekly MM or it is just a temporary one for now?

Quote from: rdbase on March 02, 2021, 10:22:37 PM

Steve will be giving those who come close once again with the freebets and what ever else he wants to give out as prizes for placing 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Is it possible to make one with Arsenal / Southampton's shirt as the prizes? Tongue

I missed the last promotions for the Arsenal shirts. Btw, I received my Watford's shirt after the season is over so yeah its kinda feels weird and It would be nice to have those shirts while the season is still running.

Quote from: rdbase on March 02, 2021, 10:22:37 PM

So put in your suggestions and we might take a que for this to add to the requirements.

Whatever works for me. Atleast we would have some game / contest to compete with each other every week.

Just asked about this and yes!

To participate all you need to do is give your predictions on this thread in text form, no betting required as those markets aren't available as of yet.
So we have thought to just offer this only to the ones who have posted to this thread in the past year.

Freebet as prizes will still be given out to those who place first, second and third accordingly.
All you need to claim your prize(s) is send steve your username and needed shipping info so to get you your jersey via a pm.

He let me know earlier today about this offer only available on this thread for those who have been loyal to sportsbet.io with their bets in the past promotion, the multimasters.

A farewell gift if you will. Cry

But there will be better promotions given, just like this one, every week (when I have a chance to get them setup Wink

) for everyone who still wishes to be part of some event over the weekend into 2021 the year of the ox! Cool
