Realgm NBA Contest (WINNER GETS MONEY)
Second year hosting this contest, last year was free, but there will be a buy-in this year, and the winner will take all. The MLB and NFL contest have been a success so far. "Bertrob" won the free NBA contest last season, so congrats to him once again, because he had a very impressive lead on the rest of us.
The contest will be kind of different this year after the New Year, but it's going to be like last season until the New Year, so not much has changed, and we'll continue to have the future picks before the start of the season.
Example:
Atlanta Hawks -2 @ Boston Celtics +2
If you picked Atlanta -2, to be credited for the correct pick, Atlanta would need to beat Boston by 3 points. If you picked Boston +2, Boston can lose by 1 point, and you still win.
The BUY-IN: MUST BE PAID BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS. The buy-in will be $20. A couple users have requested this amount, I believe it makes things more interesting, and the payout should be more generous. The buy-in can be paid by mail or by paypal as a gift. The winner will be paid by mail.
Reply to this thread if you're interested in participating and contact me about paying your buy-in.

Re: Realgm NBA Contest (WINNER GETS MONEY)
With the buy-in being $20, I expect the group to be small, but if it was $10, I believe it would also be small. It makes things more interesting, a couple people requested it to be $20, so we'll see how it goes. I hope to have a minimum of 5 people.

The pot is already at $80. My goal of 5 people is close to being accomplished.

More often.
I have to go out of town a decent amount at the first of the year so I intend on coming up with something creative during those times.
