OT - get paid to watch games 

Post#1 » by kwelis fiasco » Mon Oct 6, 2008 12:07 pm

you did read the title right, you can actually get PAID to watch regular season nba games. read below if you want more information...

http://www.nbaplaycharting.com/blog/?gc ... agodjS3JEg

Are you an NBA fan who would like to make some more money? We are looking for people to help us chart NBA games. We provide the games and the interface to log the plays. Get Paid up to 35.00 USD per game to chart games from our video.

Basic Basketball Statistics cover the Offensive actions, but aside from rebounds, blocks and steals, we never know anything about the Defensive side of the ball. What you will be doing is watching the games (through the supplied video) and then Inputting the following Defensive information.

Who was guarding the player who took the shot or made the offensive action?
Did he switch on to him?
What type of defense was it - was it man, a double or zone?
How effective would you rate this defensive players defense (scale of 0-4)

That is all we are charting.

Our user friendly software makes charting the games a breeze. Work on your own time, knowledge of Basketball a must, however when you are charting the games, support will be available via instant messenger to answer any questions you have about specific plays or possessions. This is especially useful as you first start working as an editor, after a few games though you should be able to pick up the process quite quickly and be well on your way.

Also note that while you will be paid while you are learning the ins and outs doing your first few games.

It's up to $35 per game, I wonder what is the minimum. I think this will be recorded game not the live one. You will need at least 4 hours to make this $35. If you need a job to work on your own hour, this can be a good one.

I'm with Max...not only does it not say what your lower bound is, but that is the kind of thing that could easily take several hours...now I"m not one to spit on 9 dollars an hour, especially if you are doing something you love on your own time...but let's not pretend this is a great way to make money or anything.

This seems like a perfectly good way to learn to hate basketball.

The whole thing seems like it will suck the joy and life out of watching basketball.
