My Intro Snippit:

Hi, my name is Mello and I am part of team beeyou. I was fortunate to have been selected as one of the winners of the mind game contest #1 by @jaycee7viral. I am excited to pay forward some of the winnings of $1 SBD plus 50% of the SBD earning from this contest (I know it’s not much, but it’s a lot for a minnow like me 😊).

Intro to this contest:

It’s that time of year where friends get together to watch the biggest football game of the year. 2018 Super Bowl LII is a rematch of 2005 Super Bowl XXXIX between the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots. The Super Bowl is not just a football game anymore, it has morphed into a social event of hanging out, BBQing, eating, drinking, wagering, and watching the muti-million dollar commercials.

An annual tradition of my work places is a Super Bowl block pool which includes a small investment from each participant ($10 for each block) in exchange for four opportunities to win hundreds of dollars for quarters 1-3 and the final score of the game.

This week I will host a similar but FREE version of the 2018 Super Bowl LII block pool contest.

Come join the fun!

How to play the game:

There are 100 blocks available. After a block is selected, it is no longer available to the next player. Each player can select 2 unselected blocks. After all the blocks have been claimed, it is time to randomly assign the numbers 0-9 to each column and row heading using this website: https://draftkit.com/assets/pages/free-box-game-number-generator.html. Now each square represents a specific score in the game based on the column and row numbers.

A winner will be determined at the end of the 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, and Final Game score. The winner is determined by looking at the last number in each team’s score, and then matching those numbers on the grid and seeing which square intersects those two numbers.

Here is an example of how you would win if the score is Eagles 27, Patriots 24. The last number for the Eagles is 7, and the last number for the Patriots is 4. The square on the grid that has the Eagles with a number of 7, and Patriots score of 4, would be the winner.

Contest rules:

  1. An upvote is greatly appreciated but not required
  2. A resteem is greatly appreciated but not required
  3. Reply with your 2 block code selections (comments and insights are appreciated too)
  4. I will try my best to update the list of selected block codes at the end of each day so that you do not select the same codes. For best results please review previous selections by pressing Ctrl + F to search the blog for the block codes that you want before making your selections.
  5. If you select an unavailable block and I am not able to notify you by the time the contest entries are finalized, your selection will not count.
  6. All entries must be submitted by Saturday 2/3/2018, 12:00 PM EST.
  7. Payouts will be distributed within 24 hours after the blog payout (2/8/2018 10:00PM EST)
  8. I will post an updated picture of the available block codes before the end of each day (11:59 PM EST). If editing consumes too much bandwidth, I will post the updated picture by replying to the first post so that the updated list is at the top of all the comments.

One contest can support 50 participants. If there is a bigger turnout and there are more participants than blocks available (this would be awesome), I will happily start a second contest to accommodate everyone with the caveat that there is enough time and participants for me to set up the second contest on Friday, 2/2/2018 12:00 PM EST

Best of luck to ALL. Enjoy Super Bowl LII and be safe.

Please note: I realized I forgot to include the distribution of the $1 SBD, so here is the revised payouts.

• 1st quarter = 10% of the SBD earnings + $0.20 SBD
• 2nd quarter = 10% of the SBD earnings + $0.20 SBD
• 3rd quarter = 10% of the SBD earnings + $0.20 SBD
• Final score = 20% of the SBD earnings + $0.40 SBD

*Starting from the top of the comment list, I added two more blocks to each contestant that did not have four total blocks.

Note - F1 is unclaimed so if it wins, all contestants will get an equal share of its winnings.

Sorry for the delay everyone. Below is the results and the winners. The one single unclaimed block won for the 1st quarter score, so everyone is a winner for that slot.

Hi Mello! We do one of these block pools every year at my work! I will take jj and JJ! Thanks! Best of luck to all!

My work does one annually as well. The pool is worth $1K so the blocks sell out quickly.

Haha, I posted the updates after my day job responsibilities were complete. For now, each player can select only 2 squares. It is only fair that all players have an equal number of squares. If sadly there is not enough players to claims all the squares, i will allow the current players to select additional squares. This will determined on Saturday afternoon EST.

Ok if there not enough players let me know so I can maybe select another square. If not pick sum random one for me

Hi @gracefavour , sorry for the solicitation, but this cause warrants it. Dave Mccoy of newbieresteemday proposes that he will match your Superbowl first quarter winning donation to help a homeless mother of three get back on her feet and continue to grow on Steemit. You can read about her struggles here: Help @hickorymack. I will donate 25% of my half of the contest earnings toward this amazing fundraiser. I hope you will join us in supporting this cause.

If you reply “yes”, I will forward your share of the first quarter winnings to Dave and he will match your donation and forward to @hickorymack. If I do not receive a reply from you by 2/7/2018 11:00 PM, I will transfer your winnings as promised.

Feel free to reach out to @beeyou if you have any questions.

I thought you already gave me something from that. If there's anything left that I was going to get, you're welcome to donate it. It's a great cause. Thanks for asking.
And if Dave asks you to ask, you're always welcome to ask me for money. :)

Hi @themanwithnoname. My earlier reply was a notification that you were part of the one unclaimed block that won for the first quarter. This second reply was to suggest that you donate your winnings to a deserving cause where Dave will match your contribution equivalent what your portion of the winnings for the first quarter.

We greatly appreciate your support for this.

I must admit the game is not completely clear to me, but I assume i will completely get it by the end of the game.
Still, I want to join, so I’m picking:
X1 and MM

you did all you need to do @simplymike... you got your 2 squares.. when he does his number generation you will have 2 numbers that will be "yours" for the whole game. As each quarter ends, you will have a score that will either hit your number or not...

Lets wait until you get your number set, then I will explain what to look for... You will like it, its actually a very cool way to watch a game (even in your country you can at least watch the scores) ;)

btw, very good job on your game too... love the fact that 2 we have 3 new gamemakers in the first 24 hrs

I don't quite understand the game myself @simplymike. Rules seem easy enough, but sports isn't my interest. When Mello said he wanted to start this contest, I said eh, ok. Platform is all yours. I try not to "poke around" in my teammate's post and make comments, but Mello won't mind, lol.

Just so you're not confused, I'm another member of our beeyou team-not Mello. I'm the cheerleader of the #newbieresteemday initiative with Dave. :)

I'll have to make a "Meet Us" post to introduce ourselves (again).

Maybe that would be good idea :0)

Mouth is getting better - my face is looking a bit less like the elephant man LOL there will be no pictures!

oh, yes - I saw her post and blog. I would love to help her out! I left a comment for her on that post but I'm sure it got lost in the 500 other comments LOL
I've gone through a very similar situation (MINUS the CPS getting involved, thank goodness) but I wanted to give her some support in some way - although it obvious she's getting more than enough lol
anyways, feel free to donate my winnings to her <3 <3

Hi @amariespeaks. I’m sorry you had to experience a similar situation, but am happy that you pulled through. What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger and wiser. I agree that she is getting more than enough support from the Steemit community and probably does not need our pennies, but when children are involved, more is never enough. Thank you so much for your support.

hey, everyone's got their own struggles/battles and I'm not one to air my dirty laundry but sometimes you really need help and there is no other way but to ask...
and every little bit counts! so glad to see so many people that want to help - it reinforces my feelings that there are still good people out there. :)

Thanks for the notification @beeyou .I will go with P2 and dd

Nice! Can I also get hh and E2 then please?

Done.

i1 and j1 please :) And thanks for letting me know ;)

you may want to copy the update message and paste it into each as a reply to their comment... Some people don't get their notifications unless it is a direct reply.

And get me over the weekend on discord when you get a chance Mello... Good job on the game btw I'm excited about it

Thanks Dave. We’ll connect this weekend before the big game.

Hi @davemccoy. Congrats, you are the BIG final score winner! This is very well deserved. Thanks for all your support with this contest. I hope you had fun. Details of the payout is at the bottom of the blog.

Awesome!!! Thank you very much for the game Mello! I know it was lots of work (read the other @beeyou post yesterday), but it was very helpful and a great way to "engage" with people. We learned a lot over this past week that will help us going forward, so I hope you feel that your effort was worth it! It is appreciated by me, that is for sure!

Also I have a solution to your 1 block dilemma... You can send everyone a comment and tell them of my offer.

Here is my offer:

I will "match" anyone who donates their share of this prize and then we can use that money to help to pay for @hickorymack's first month's phone card. The phone cared will be about 15 sbds, so each of us can make a small contribution to help. Here is a link to what I'm talking about (and in that link is another link to her incredible story).

https://steemit.com/@davemccoy/do-you-have-a-useable-smartphone-to-give-for-a-great-cause-this-is-a-must-read

Of course some will say yes and some will say no... But it will at least make it easier on you for the ones that are happy to donate to this lady's cause. (note: if you want to do my plan, make sure you read my post and her story so that you understand exactly who you are helping and in what way).

Let me know if we have a "deal" ;)

And thank you again for the opportunity to win some SBDs :)

I'll let Mello respond to this, perhaps he can update the post to reflect this and see who would want to do this.

She should maybe change the tag to #familyprotection. Or perhaps change the post you made for the cellphone and add the tag. It's supported by one of the big guys with a big upvote. Not sure if it is Mr. Fulltimegeek, but I know someone.

Someone made a post there about it too.

https://steemit.com/mspwaves/@msp-waves/suprabowl-of-kindness-usd2-000

I am just going to do a new post when she has the phone. And I agree with you about the tag, thanks! And yes this was meant for Mello to handle... I think more than half would rather donate it rather thank have Mello input the sbd transfer...And since I will match, then it will help make it a bigger contribution per person.

told you I'd come up with a solution ;)

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Wait, I just got it @davemccoy. Slow here with not enough sleep.

If any is willing to match, we just send that tota SBD your way. And you will match and send to her. Got it.

Will let Mello take it over from here. I should be working.

haha...I know just how you feel ;)

Hey @davemccoy. I want to help so we have a deal. And to sweeten it, team BeeYOU would like to donate 25% of my half of this blog's earnings to help @hickorymack. After all, how can I ask others to donate if I don't set an example.

that's a very good idea and great that you thought of it mello... You can do it one of 2 ways (or both).

You can write one comment explaining the proposal to everyone that is due the payment... and then send it to them in the comment section.

or you can do a fresh new clean post explaining it

Or you could do both.

I personally would do a post to explain it because it would be a pretty wordy comment... but I don't know how you and your teammates feel about it.. So I will leave that up to you.

but count me in... I'll match any donation from that lucky block for sure! I think it will probably be unanimous

and save you the hassles of sending all those payouts while actually helping a good cause in the process!

Thanks and again! Loved your game (and not just because I won either) ;)

Hey @davemccoy. I jumped the gun and replied to every participant. I hope my reply was manageable yet concise to deliver the message. We already have one reply 'yes': @iexplore.

its cool... you can't make mistakes here mello! We'll see how it goes when people have the chance to read tomorrow.... have a good evening!

Congrats @davemccoy! When it rains, it pours...SBDs. You are also a partial winner of the 1st quarter score. The one unclaimed block (f1) won the 1st quarter score, so everyone is a winner.

I replied to your reply to me, and so did someone else... make sure to check those and let me know if I need new numbers :)

I locked you in for i1 and j1 from your earlier reply.

very cool, thank you mello!

GG and EE please :) If they are gone, just pick any two available ;)

thank you sir!

You are good for GG and EE

thank you sir!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Hi @ilovepoorpeople. Sorry, I made a mistake. EE was selected by another player prior to your post. I will lock in DD for you for instead.

haha.. I'll take xx then... and ps.. if that doesn't work, then just pick anything for me. I'm here to support you! :)

no worries.. pick anything you like sir! I love the @beeyou team!

We love you back @ilovepoorpeople. DD was chosen for your final block. Enjoy the game.

Your post-boost will be coming but it fell below $0.05 to $0.04 SBD... So I will search for bots that will give us a decent upvote for that tomorrow. I wanted to let you all know that it was coming. Just not tonight since I'm tired and I didn't think anyone would mind! lol ;)

Day 4 "post boost" buys... Thanks to @earthnation-bot! Send them a thank you because they did this just to accommodate us and the game, they are always partners when it comes to helping the newbies!

V2 and u1 please

Release the Kraken! You got a 1.55% upvote from @seakraken courtesy of @davemccoy!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Love the account name. I wish you can include the Kraken sound with it. That would be kool. Thanks @davemccoy.

k2 and vv please ... And hi Mello.. nice to meet you! You did exactly the game I was going to do... Great minds must think alike!!! You did it even better than me too! I had the same great game, but you did it is a much more descriptive and aesthetically pleasing way that me. ;)

just to prove it to you.. here was my grid

I want to see how many cards we can get you to fill before I can do mine now...

I will make a deal with you... If we can get you filled up with 3 total cards (games), then I will do the same game through me (and make your group my partner)... And I will give you the 50% of the SBD profit from my game. But I get to steal your well written rules.

Do we have a deal? ;)

Nice to meet you and make sure you tell anyone you know, this could be a big thing and its definitely going to be fun!

Let me know and make sure I get my squares lol :D

Hey Dave, pleasure to meet you. I agree, we have a deal! I have heard so much about you and the newbieresteemday initiative. I love the movement and am excited to be a part of it with this fun game.

Let’s touch base regarding the logistics. I was hoping to overflow onto a second game, but would be blown away if I can fill a third.

Nice to meet you too.. and I set my goals to what I think we can attain and in this case it is possible... Great concept and design is better than mine. Now we have to let people know about it... You do your best and I will do mine!

Let's see how this plays out, but I'm happy to have you as my teammate! I'll call you @beeyou2

lol

@beeyou, thank you so much for all your hard work. I'm truly blown away by how much effort you invest in all you do on Steemit.

Thanks @mudcat36. I'm Mello of team Beeyou; nice to meet you. I honestly did not realize how much work it is to track and update for this contest. I am excited to join this community and contribute value where ever I can.

Well a good contest is one that takes off and keeps the person who launched it busy. :) In short, it's a great sign of success. I'm really blown away with how well it has performed. If at any point there's anything you need a hand with then please feel free to give me a shout. :)

Hi @mudcat36, the Block Pool Contest is back for NFL football. To kick off the pre-season today, I have boosted the prize to be the biggest ever in contest history. Come join the fun and test your luck.
