Playing Along

The guys at PlayAction.tv have been after me to participate in one of their prediction games and I finally took them up on their offer last Saturday.
PlayAction.tv offers a very unique prediction game that runs off your mobile phone. They send you a prediction question. You predict the outcome and send back the numerical code of your chosen answer. They have ‘game jockeys’ who run the games live and send out some very interesting questions.
The opening pick for Saturday’s Habs-Flyers game was “Can Habs carry momentum from GM 1? How will MTL do after 1st?”. I figured Montreal would certainly ride the momentum of their huge comeback win in Game One so I chose “Lead by 1”. Unfortunately, the Flyers didn’t follow the script…
Philly got out of the 1st with a one goal lead and I got 50 points for participation, instead of the 500 points I would’ve got if I had chosen “Trail PHI/Tied”. I didn’t get shut out on the day managing to score 1300 points, as I went 2 of 8 for the game. After correctly knowing the trivia answer, Eric Lindros was the other Flyer to score on a penalty shot in the playoffs, I predicted Marty Biron would come up big for Philadelphia and hold the Canadiens to “Under 4” goals. My 1300 points was enough for me to crack the Top 10 as I was T-10 on the day.
Unfortunately, I came up short in my quest to take down the game prize, a $25 NHL.com Gift Card, as a player named gungadin was top dog on the day with 2650 points. Regardless, I had a great time playing along and the questions really get you thinking about the game you’re watching. A $1000 Grand Prize can also be won and the more you play, the better chance you have at winning it.

I announced about a month ago that PlayAction is a direct advertiser on KK. I wanted to first thank them for having faith in KK and it looks like their promotion is working. Also a thanks to the KK readers who have participated in the PlayAction prediction games. It is much appreciated.
