Steemit Winner-Takes-All Football Picks: NFL – Week 10

It was an interesting week on the platform, but forward we march.

This was another week where no tie-breaker was needed. The winning player was @seadroo22, who correctly picked the winners in ten of the twelves games. In second place was @bola, who made nine correct selections. Four other players were tied at eight picks each. The total payout for Week 9 is 5 SD.

The post did not generate much in rewards last week. There was a lot of excitement over the new announcements regarding changes to the platform, so the post may have just been lost in the mix. As stated in last week’s post, the payouts have changed slightly. There will still be a 5 SD minimum payout, but I will add Steem to that based on the payout of the post. I will now include 1 Steem for every $1 in post rewards at the current prices. This will be adjusted as necessary until SD payments are resumed.

There were 12 participants in week nine, one higher than the previous week. Here is the proof of payout for week nine:

Here’s how it all works

Every Thursday, I post the weekly schedule from NFL.com. (Note: Thursday night games are not included in the weekly picks.)

This is what you’ll need to do:

1. Click on my post, check out the week’s schedule, and use your best football knowledge to try to figure out which team will win each match-up.
2. Once you have decided on your winners for each game, simply type the names of your winning teams in the comment section. At the beginning of your comment, type in caps: MY PICKS.
3. Choose the winner and what you believe the point total will be for the Monday night game. This will serve as the tie-breaker in the event of a tie (which I’m sure we will often have), so do not forget to submit your points.

Only one set of picks per user. All picks must be submitted by 11:00pm (23:00), New York Time, on Saturday.

This is what I will do:

1. Once your picks and points are submitted, I will go through and verify them by replying CONFIRMED and copy-pasting your submission. I will then take a screen shot of both comments demonstrating that they match. If there are any disputes, the screen shot will be submitted as evidence. Once your picks are confirmed, they cannot be changed – so do not submit until you’re 100% sure of your choices!
2. In the event of a tie, the person closest to the points total for the Monday night game will be the winner. If still tied after the tie-breaker, then the payout will be split between the tying parties.
3. There is a 5 SD minimum payout each week, plus a portion of the initial Steem author rewards from the post – so there is no cost for submission. I will transfer the 5 SD and the Steem rewards to the winner(s), I will take a screenshot of the transfers, and I will announce the winner(s) and payout in the following week’s PICKS post.

That’s it. It’s simple, it’s fun, and if we get enough interest in this, the rewards can grow rather large from week to week! As mentioned, there’s no cost to play and you don’t even have to know a lot about football to have a chance of winning! Anything can happen from one week to the next, so have fun with it!
