Steemit Winner-Takes-All Football Picks: NFL – Week 12

It was another close week where the Picks came down to the wire!

We had four players with ten correct picks in Week 11, but it came down to a tie-breaker between @magnebit and @celsius100, who each had eleven correct picks. We went to the points tie-breaker and @celsius100 ended up taking home the pot of 5 SD and 48.50 Steem. The points total for Monday night was 47 – @magnebit chose 40 and @celsius100 chose 45.

The payouts will remain at 5 SD and 50% of the liquid Steem rewards from the weekly post.

There were 13 participants in Week 11, the same number as the previous week. Here is the proof of payout for Week 11:

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!
