Make your selections in bold. Please also include how many points you think the specific team will win by (e.g. Los Angeles Lakers by 10 vs. Los Angeles Clippers).
You have until Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2013 at 4 PM PST to make your selections. Any picks made after this set date and time will not count. Anyone who edits their post will face consequences. Read the rules here (http://insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=313960) for more details.

Everyone will be starting off with 5 points each. This is just to allow you all to make your bets.

Betting
In your initial post where you will cast your picks, you may make a bet challenge to anyone willing to accept. If someone accepts, he will have to quote your post. Only one person may accept any one bet. You may only bet up to 5 points. Person who made the bet must shoot me a PM to let me know the bet has been accepted. You have until Thursday, Oct. 31st to cast your bets. You may NOT cast bets for games or NBA related events that have passed (eg. do not make a bet saying, "Miami will beat Bulls on opening night" if it already happened).

Wagers
Read about these here (http://insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=313960). Please understand the rules before posting. If you clearly did not understand, I will ignore your wager.

Pick one that you disagree with (meaning, you don't think it will happen) if you want to risk a point (Note: You may only choose one):

1) Dwight Howard will make 50% of his free throws on Sat., Nov. 2nd vs the Utah Jazz.
2) Either Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili or Tony Parker will play 40 or more minutes on Fri., Nov. 1st @ Los Angeles Lakers.
3) Carmelo Anthony will score a minimum of 30 points on Sun., Nov. 3rd vs the Minnesota Timberwolves.


Wagers are optional. Do not choose one if you don't want to risk losing a point.
An example of a winning wager: You choose #1) D12 will make 50% of his free throws on 11/02 vs Jazz. If Dwight shoots below 50% or above 50%, you win a point. If he shoots exactly 50%, you lose a point.


THE PICKS:
Game One (Tues., 10/29/13): Chicago Bulls @ Miami Heat
Game Two (Wed., 10/30/13): Memphis Grizzlies @ San Antonio Spurs
Game Three (Thurs., 10/31/13): Golden State Warriors @ Los Angeles Clippers
Game Four (Fri., 11/01/13): Miami Heat @ Brooklyn Nets
Game Five (Sat., 11/02/13): Houston Rockets @ Utah Jazz


Good luck.

Accepted wager: 1) Dwight Howard will make 50% of his free throws on Sat., Nov. 2nd vs the Utah Jazz.

My predictions in bold.

[TylerOO]

I think instead of the +10 you should just say like Heat by 10. Because with real gambling spreads the +10 means that x team should lose by ten. So really your pick would mean you have Bulls winning by ten. Just saying, if you wanna keep it the way it is, that's fine too.

You're right. I didn't think that through. I'll edit my post to show this.


Orlando Magic vs. Indiana Pacers by 10

Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat by 4

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Los Angeles Lakers by 7

Did I do it right?

Not at all. The games being chosen are in the OP. Please read through the OP, and if you still don't understand, re-read the rules.

Yeah. You can make a Bet, too, if you have one in mind for anyone to accept and you can also accept a Wager; if not, you're good for the remainder of the week until the Week Two thread goes live.

BTW, any chance you can sticky this thread until the next thread & sticky the rules thread? I will be updating the rules thread whenever the standings reflect a change, and this thread being stickied will help the rest of the participants see it and join in.
I'd appreciate it if you could. If you can't, don't sweat it.

Yeah what I will do is sticky each week...and when you start the next week will unsticky it. If Jeff has an issue with it he will unsticky it...doubt he would though.

just update the standings onto each week thread.

Finally, people are placing bets!

Even though you're supposed to PM when a bet has been accepted, I'll let it slide this time. I just read the bet, so branslowski & LEFT4DEAD are good. The PM may be necessary next time depending on whether or not I can read every post.
To be honest, though, it doesn't look like all 30 people will be paticipating, so I'm sure I'll be able to read every post.

I am quite sure it's not how that wager works ^^

No, no. That's how it works. I made that specific wager easy intentionally. Either D12 hits exactly 50% or he doesn't. If he doesn't, you get a point. I wanted to see if anyone would catch on to how that specific wager was. :oldlol:

[TylerOO]

Heat won by 12. No one had it. Sakkreth and Inferno were closest

[LEFT4DEAD]

Bosh scored 16 I think so a point I won betting on the Heat win goes to branslowski. Im still on 5 points total.

And fcking Deng missed that open three at the end. I had the Heat winning by 9.

Heat won by 12. No one had it. Sakkreth and Inferno were closest

[RoundMoundOfReb]

2-0 so far but haven't gotten the score right in either of them.

[branslowski]

I was banned, but I bet one of u n!ggas on Tuesday's game concerning Bosh scoring more than 20pts. Mark down my +1pt.

Why'd you get banned?

[branslowski]

Why'd you get banned?

Let's just just say It's some soft ass ppl on this board who like to click da report button. Also I guess I "promote" violence and illegal activities on this board not suitable for children who lurk this board. And some other garbage.

Doesn't matter, I'm over it. Not a big deal.

1) Dwight Howard will make 50% of his free throws on Sat., Nov. 2nd vs the Utah Jazz.

If he shoots more than 50 percent he still made 50 percent.

What I mean is say he shoots 55% he still made 50% of his free throws. You have to say "exactly 50%" otherwise it doesn't work.


It's like saying

1) Kobe Bryant will score 30 points Nov. 2nd vs the Utah Jazz.

If Kobe scores 32 he still scored 30 - just scored 2 more.

[fsvr54]

Only 3 people (including myself) are 4-0 so far.

1) Dwight Howard will make 50% of his free throws on Sat., Nov. 2nd vs the Utah Jazz.

If he shoots more than 50 percent he still made 50 percent.

What I mean is say he shoots 55% he still made 50% of his free throws. You have to say "exactly 50%" otherwise it doesn't work.


It's like saying

1) Kobe Bryant will score 30 points Nov. 2nd vs the Utah Jazz.

If Kobe scores 32 he still scored 30 - just scored 2 more.

Shit, you stumped me. Ok. I can't change it now. Let's just assume the wager is still this way. I don't want to ruin it for anyone who now can't change his wager to something else.
Next time, though, I will word things better. Week 2 and onward will be better.

Thanks to everyone being active and participating. I was hoping this game would draw more posts and possibly be fun to go through, but so far it's been lackluster. Don't worry, though. We'll keep it moving.

FRIENDLY REMINDER
Tonight is the last game of the week.
The Week 2 thread will be posted some time on Sunday evening, likely after 6 pm PST (9 pm Eastern), so be sure to check back then. The standings will be updated in the OP of Week 2. Yes, I've been keeping track.

Scholar I think people will get more active in this when there will be standings updated and some bets will start kicking in. It will get more competitive when people realise where they are on standings and how many points they need to surpass someone.

You know if I had switched the Heat game predictions including score, I would have done really really really well this week.
Game One (Tues., 10/29/13): Chicago Bulls @ Miami Heat by 1.
Game Two (Wed., 10/30/13): Memphis Grizzlies @ San Antonio Spurs by 5.
Game Three (Thurs., 10/31/13): Golden State Warriors @ Los Angeles Clippers by 2
Game Four (Fri., 11/01/13): Miami Heat @ Brooklyn Nets by 12
Game Five (Sat., 11/02/13): Houston Rockets @ Utah Jazz by 9
