I think you should tell clearly that this discount is available for those who buy prediction. I visited the thread this is what I understood , Am I right ?

Hi buddu,
Hope all's well with you.

Thanks for your message.  That's absolutely correct, you do indeed have to purchase some Preds first, then you post your Username in our PROMO Thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=893980.20) and we'll send you your Discount Code.

Whilst we find that fact is very clear over on our Promo Thread, we didn't want to talk too much about the Promo here on our main thread as it's bad forum etiquette.

Nonetheless, we sincerely Thank You for making this clearer for the community.  To show our thanks, how about 10 FREE Preds.  No need to purchase any first, just 10 FREE Preds straight up!

If you'd like that, just PM us and we'll give you the details.



    All the very Best,

Great site! Pretty easy to get big wins with just few minutes of research (won the first three prizes for 12 PM Yuan competition). the first ones are in chance for great profit! and there are 4 prediction contests daily/Three places in each.

Yeah this is a great site and I win a lot from this site too
Just a couple of minutes I got 2 prizes

Thanks for the lovely comments, we hope you continue enjoying Crypto Ball as much as you have.

For all those stumbling across this for the first time, jump on over to our PROMO THREAD (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=893980.80) to get hold of 10 FREE PREDS worth 0.06 BTC.

All the Best,
Crypto Ball

i just checked the giveaway thread. is it over? says only 50 people but 81 posts so far

No no, not over yet.  Only half of the FREE PRED CODES have gone so far.  The additional posts have come from general conversation on the thread.  We'll post an update later letting everyone know how many Codes are left.

So, if you're interested, get on over to our PROMO THREAD (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=893980.80) and post your proposed Username and we'll PM you with instructions from there.

How often do you send promo code ? I posted on the giveaway thread since yesterday but didn't get any reply yet . Promotion is not over yet as you mentioned above.

cryptoball is interesting betting base on prediction  to the bitcoin price, i put some prediction there,
my experience is pretty good with cryptoball.

Hi there boopy265420,
Hope you're well - thanks for letting us know you've not received your Code.

We've now sent you a PM with further details for how to get your FREE PRED CODE.

All the Best,
Crypto Ball

I just heard from CryptoBall about my free trial code. I hope I can post some good news.
Thx Cryptoball.

You can indeed post some GOOD NEWS ... You've won 0.06408120 BTC

The site is a little bit confusing and on the games and rounds thread it says 50 predictions for free, where do i get those?

Hi there GannickusX,
Hope you're wonderfully well.

There's less than 5 packs of 10 FREE PREDS left - if you want one, get your self over to our PROMO THREAD (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=893980.120) and post the Username you wish to use on Crypto Ball.  We'll then PM you with further details.

Regarding the site being confusing, feel free to ask all the questions you like here on our main thread and we'll get them answered for you.  Alternatively, you can email support@cryptoball.io and we'll get back to you with any answers you need.

Hope that helps,
Crypto Ball

I honestly cant see why anyone would deposit their own coin to play on this site.

1) some coin is taken from pot straight up (how can there be 0.66btc in pot when there are 72 predictions);
2) then they are only paying out about 51% - 55% of what's left;
3) they aren't paying games with 1 or 2 predictions nor are they refunding those ones. Wtf

Unless im wrong on above, once people's free predictions run out, the site will fizzle out.

:(

Are you that desperate to up your post count as to copy paste your reply on 2 threads? Btw, already replied to your post in the games and rounds thread.

Firstly, this is a different thread in a different sub-forum.

And secondly, why would I want to up my post count?

Hello ALL,
Well wishes to you.

Sorry for being a little absent these last couple of days, the team’s been busy working on more exciting updates for Crypto Ball.  Looks like we’ve missed a good old bit of debate.

Firstly, it’s great to see people participating in some active conversation about Crypto Ball - so Thank You for taking the time to share your thoughts.  Now, let’s see if we can clear a few things up and make some propositions for improvement.

Q:  some coin is taken from pot straight up … If there are 72 predictions at a cost if 0.01btc, how can the pot be 0.66btc.

A:  Bitcoinexp is right on this one.  The standard price of a Prediction is 0.01 BTC, i.e if you buy just 1 Pred it’ll cost you 0.01 BTC, therefore that’s what’s added to the Pot.  However, if you buy more than 1 Pred we apply a Standard Discount (you’ll see this at the Checkout and on your Confirmation Email), e.g if you buy 25 Preds we apply a 60% Standard Discount, so the total comes out as 0.10 BTC.  In this instance each Pred is worth 0.10 / 25 = 0.004 BTC, therefore that’s what’s added to the Pot.  This seems the logical way of adding BTC to the Pot - we only add what users actually pay.


Q:  they aren't paying games with 1 or 2 predictions nor are they refunding those ones. Wtf … Refunding only if you paid kinda makes sense. But they should also allocate another free prediction to affected players. A bit unfair to lose a prediction. If another player or 2 played that game - they would have to pay out.

A:  We will always refund users if they’ve paid for their Preds and the Predictor Total is less than 3 - that way those brave enough to make the first move don’t loose out if too few people play.  The reason we have this minimum limit is to encourage a variety of Predictors to play, but also to avoid situations where one user is guaranteed to win 1st, 2nd & 3rd, thus affording them the opportunity to flood Sessions which do have lots of Predictors with loads of BTC that they only won by default.

We initially thought it was fair to not redeem the Free Preds we’ve recently given out given they were absolutely free, i.e no purchase required - in the case of the Discount Codes we’re offering, we would redeem Preds back to the Code. HOWEVER, we want our Users to be HAPPY and to feel as though they’re being treated fairly, SO …

IF YOU’VE SPENT FREE PREDS ON SESSIONS WITH LESS THAN 3 PREDICTORS AND YOU WANT THEM BACK, LETS US KNOW HERE ON THIS THREAD AND WE’LL REFUND THEM TO YOU :)


Q:  They state they pay out between 50% and 92% - but when I checked 6 or  so they all were 51% to 55%

A:  This has cropped up before and we’ve already increased the pay out, but again OUR USER EXPERIENCE IS OF THE UPMOST IMPORTANCE TO US - WE SINCERELY VALUE YOUR FEEDBACK AND WILL DEVELOP CRYPTO BALL BY IT.  We never intended to cheat our users out of winnings by setting the Pot share as we have, we only ever wanted to encourage more users to Predict by offering a significant incentive on larger Pots. But it seems loud and clear that we need to revise our approach.  Before we go on, it may be encouraging to note that a large proportion of the Pots in March have been filled with Free Preds on top of PreLoads - all of which is BTC Crypto Ball has put up, so in many cases people have been winning 51% to 55% of a Pot that cost them nothing to win.

Anyway, onto the really important bit…

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE POT DOES THE COMMUNITY WANT???

DO YOU WANT SOMETHING LIKE WHAT Bitcoinexp SUGGESTED - 75% to 95%? i.e the Pot starts at 75% but increases to 95% the bigger it gets (how much would have to be in the Pot for it to get to 95%?)

OR WOULD YOU PREFER A FIXED PERCENTAGE LIKE 85%, IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW MUCH IS IN THE POT?

LET US KNOW AND WE’LL DO SOME NUMBER CRUNCHING, THEN GET BACK TO YOU ALL WITH A PROPOSITION.

Hopefully you can see how serious we are about listening to our users and how willing we are to take on your feedback.  We have every confidence in the potential of Crypto Ball, but we know that it’s by listening that we’ll realise that potential.

As Bitcoinexp noted, we’re not perfect and we’re only new - to be honest we’ll never be perfect, but what we can be is humble.  We can be responsive.  We can learn.  And that’s what we’re doing now …


    Warmest Wishes

it looks like a really difficult game for me,is this like a binary trader? I can't understand it

Basically you choose a certain time and date, predict on BTC/CNY or BTC/USD price. Closer you get to the value, the more BTC you get.

hi i sent you a pm about how i ended up losing 3 .01 predictions bc not enough people played, i saw your message in the thread saying to write here!
i think that you got an awesome game, and sites running well!
can i get my 3 0.01 predictions back so i can use them on a game where more then 3 people make predictions?
thanks for letting us retry the predictions that didnt go thru because not enough people played at that time  :)
my email is clubsofsteel@gmail.com
thanks alot!

i won at cryptoball with free preds! thanks cryptoball your sites pretty cool actually! i hope more people realise this! id love to be active there almost everyday! i do have a question though... how long does it take for payment to be recieved after you win? i won for the 25th but i havent recieved payment yet :P
if there was a way to make winning payments almost instant im sure it would make more people interested!

You're very welcome, clubsofsteel.  We hope you enjoy your Reward - 0.07859125 BTC, not bad hey  ;)

At this point in time payments aren't instant.  This is to keep security water tight whilst we continue to develop the site.  Crypto Ball is still in its infancy and will have many evolutions before we can confidently say it's out of development.  In the mean time we want to provide the most enjoyable, most secure experience we can for our users.

We hope you keep enjoying Crypto Ball  :)

i recieved payment for first place prize for the bet i made for the 25th :P
now im just waiting for my payment of 0.065 btc for my other bet on the 25th :P

This is interesting that now you are changing it from prediction to betting site with some percentage , am I right ? I have placed some prediction last month and now you made me curious to see what surprise changes are going to take place on CryptoBall.

You are indeed correct, but there's even more to it than that ...

It's taken us the last 4 months to gather the relevant data to do what we'll be doing, plus 18 months of research and development.  For anyone who's looked closely enough they will have seen that Crypto Ball has been dishing out BTCBTCBTC at a loss to the company.  This has all been for a reason and soon you will see why.

The next evolution of Crypto Ball will explore areas currently untouched in the world of crypto - this goes way beyond a prediction market.

Not only will users be able to bet on their Predictions in return for payouts, but we'll also be doing some cutting edge stuff with the Prediction data we receive.

Users will get the chance to test their powers of Prediction for some serious BTCBTCBTC

That's all we can say for now, but suffice it to say this is going to be exciting ...
