NBA Finals Game 1 BetPhoenix Contest

[LT Profits]

The 2009 NBA Finals begin on Thursday, June 4, and we wlll be having winner-take-all contests based on total points accumulated by answering 10 questions for each individual game. Each answer is weighted, so the least likely the occurence, the more points accumulated. The point values of each answer are listed next to the choices.

The Game 1 winner will receive a $50 account at BetPhoenix, with a 3 time roll-over. A tiebreaker is provided at the bottom of this post, and if there is still a tie after the tiebreaker, the winner will be the entry that was posted first.

*IMPORTANT*
All players must message their BetPhoenix account to SBRforum Staff prior to making selections. If you do not have an account you must SIGN UP Here.

Deadline for entries is tip-off time for Game 1.
