    50/50 charity drive NBA playoffs game 1

    Gonna see if this gets anyone interested (also not sure if this is allowed).

    Want to do a 50/50 for game 1 of the NBA champ. Entry will be 6 points. You have to guess the total points scored in 1h + game (trying to make it more difficult than normal total).

    Of the points collected - 50% will be awarded to winner and rest will be used to donate to charity (so if 20 people play, 120 points total, 60 to winner, 60 to charity).

    My hope is that we will get enough over course of NBA championship games to make a donation (if not I'll keep going with other sports until we do).

    Mods - if this isn't allowed just let me know and I'll refund anyone who sent in points.

    To clarify contest - your attempting to guess 1h total plus game total. So if it was 50-50 at half and 102-100 final, the corrrect guess would be 302 (100 1h plus 202 game).

    Closest without going over wins. Post all points in here. Pros only.

    So far 18 points going to charity. Let's get more people in here. I'll match the charity donation point for point on this game

    Will do sweep. How on Belmont? How would payout work? Can't payout based on parimutuel odds haha. Maybe pick winners in all races, tie breaker winning time??

    I believe 316 was the winning number (112 first half + 204 total). 311 was closest without going over so sweep was winner.

    We had 6 people play so 18 points to sweep and crown royal gave us 2 so 20 points to charity. I'll match that so 40 points so far to charity.

    Put it towards charity. No interest in the NBA, but hopefully that helps towards a donation.
