💰 OPPORTUNITY: I'm selling a pre-revenue fixed odds competitions website. 💰 🚀 With the rise and rise of competition websites over the past few years (such as Rev Comps, Click Competitions, Elite Competitions and McKinney Competitions), my wife and I saw a huge opportunity to create some tech and jump into this space. ⏳ Unfortunately, we never found the time to do anything with it (apart from some social media tests that were very successful). It consists of a fully working bespoke platform to rival the best competition websites out there. I truly believe that all it needs to be successful is a marketing budget and potentially a face of the brand. The competitions sector make a fortune and almost always sell out of tickets - so the market is still large enough to make some excellent returns. If you already have a business, note that it's also a VERY cheap way to acquire customers due to the nature of social media within this sector. 📩 If anyone is interested - or knows how/where we can sell this product, please do let me know! ⚙ See a fully working demo version of it here: https://lnkd.in/dkr3bXGj #competitions #prizedraw #raffle #contests #sweepstakes #giveaways #winprizes

When North Carolina State tipped off in the ACC tournament three weeks ago, the Wolfpack had a 17-14 record and an infinitesimal chance of making the NCAA tournament. But they ripped off five wins in five days to steal an automatic berth to March Madness. Then they went on a wild run even by the standards of an event known for insanity. Now they’re easily the most improbable Final Four team of the past decade. What were the odds of the Wolfpack getting this far? To find out, you can take the win probabilities for each of the past four games from the college-basketball statistical website kenpom.com, then multiply those percentages to quantify the rough likelihood of a Final Four run. N.C. State was a 1-in-88 long shot. But even that number doesn’t accurately convey how unexpected this Final Four romp has been. That’s because the Wolfpack really had to survive and advance nine times. The chance of that happening wasn’t 1 in 88. It was more like 1 in 23,512. To put that .004% probability in context, the National Weather Service says you’re more likely to get struck by lightning during your lifetime. How can you not love underdogs & March Madness! #statistics #marchmadness #underdogs https://lnkd.in/eYYfjg3E

Now that ballot boxes are beginning to arrive, the verification process can start. We’re not counting who the votes are for yet. Why? There are two purposes to this stage: ✔️ To make sure the number of ballot papers given out at the polling stations matches the number that gets to the count venue ✔️ To make sure that when the votes for each candidate are counted, the total number matches the number of ballot papers

Why should YOU participate in federal competitions? Is it for the gold (to win prizes)? How about the guts (love of competition)? Are you seeking glory (recognition and respect)?
