Match Preview

Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah will make their way back to the United Center with their new team, the New York Knicks to take on their former team, the Chicago Bulls! Chicago has a whole new look this year after they lost Rose and Noah… Without a doubt, this game will go down in the history books!

New York Knicks

---

New York will be making there way down to the United Center on Friday… Thus far, the Knicks record sits at 1-3, and out of all the games they have lost, none of the games were close, whatsoever…

Keep in mind that New York will definitely be fighting hard on Friday to get a win as it’s Derrick Rose’s and Joakim Noah’s return to the United Center and they want to prove that they made the right decision going to the Knicks!

Chicago Bulls

---

Rajon Rondo, Jimmy Butler and Dwayne Wade are all off to a strong start this season! This is great news for the Bulls considering critics were saying, “Rondo isn’t a team player - he is hard to coach.” Thus far, this has not been true whatsoever… His teammates have said that he is indeed a team player and even the Bulls coach, Fred Hoiberg has not complained one bit regarding “Rondo is hard to coach.”.

Supposedly, Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose retained their friendship, but they must not play on the court as if they are friends…

All in all, like the Knicks, the Bulls will attempt to do anything possible to get a victory against their newest rival, the New York Knicks.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE SPREAD

Support SteemSports Ultimate Vote Betting … together we all can win!

How to Play

• Vote on the main post to enter the bet (main post rewards will also be added to the Stake Pool).

• Cast your Vote Bet on ONLY ONE outcome for which you bet on for the win (Multiple comment votes will be automatically disqualified by the script, unvote and revote counts as multiple votes and will be disqualified).

• After 24 hours, the post and related game comments payout to the pool; remember 25% voters rewards are deducted from the total post payout value first as per Steem curation rules. Voters are rewarded in standard fashion in proportion to their Steem Power holdings.

The Stake Pool:

• The remaining 75% of the total payout is paid out in 50% Steem Power and 50% in liquid currencies, the latter now varies in payout ratio after the new fork. To make the process less complicated, we have decided to use all paid out SBD to buy Steem in the internal market to create a grand total Steem Stake Pool.

• 30% of the Stake Pool will be retained, of which 15% will go to the writer/sports presenter of the post, and the 15% balance towards editing, development and advertising.

• 70% of the Stake Pool will be held until the event/game outcome is determined.

• Once the winning outcome is determined, we will execute a proprietary developed script that will divide and pay out the Steem rewards equally, using the Power Up method, to Mass Distribute SP to all participants that voted on the main post as the entrance fee as well as voted on the correct comment representing the winning outcome.

• Only participants with a Reputation of 35 or more will qualify to earn SP rewards, but non-qualifiers can still vote and comment in support of the redistribution initiative.

• Entry cut-off time is the earlier of the post payout or the start of the event.

• @steemsports in the unlikely event that when the Stake Pool is divided up between the winners and the nomenclature resolution goes below the third decimal place (example: 0.0001), then Steem decimal restrictions won’t allow a payout and the pool will carry over to the next game.

• Please vote responsibly :).
