Could you make it as a bookie?

Here’s the deal: I want to pay you to find out (kinda)

I have put together 2 micro forms (just 3 questions in each) and what is at stake are two $50 Starbucks gift cards. There is no entry fee (so don’t call it gambling). You need to predict:-

  • Who wins the AFC/NFC
  • By what margin

If the winner so chooses, she/he can get an Amazon gift card instead of the same monetary value.

Link to the NFC betting form

Link to the AFC betting form

To win you must predict the winner correctly AND you have to come closer to predicting the winning margin than every other entrant. For example, if you expect the winning team to win by 5 or more, choose 5. The closer you are to the actual winning margin (aka the spread), the better your chances of winning the gift card. For example, if the winning margin turns out to be 6 and you chose 4, you will edge out all all those who chose 1, 2 and 3 as the winning margin but you will be out of contention if there are other entrants who chose 5 and 6. The winner will be chosen randomly among those entries closest to the actual winning spread (you cannot go over, that automatically eliminates you). In case of a tie, the winner will be chosen from among the winning entries.

Deadline is game kickoff time. Open only to US & Canadian residents (I cannot deal with Forex cr*p at this time)
