Welcome to the Tipster Competition, bandung01.

Good luck!

Thanks for joining us, ginsan.

Please make sure to read the competition rules, and post any questions you might have in the Discussion Thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1256522).

Good luck!

Welcome back; thanks for joining us for the 9^th round of the Tipster Competition.

Good luck!

Well, we do have the Hall of Fame in the OP¹ - it doesn't specify which competitions were won by whom, but it does show which participants have reached the top place prizes most often: Omikifuse (9), bitbollo (7), and patt0 (3).

But, if you really want to know the details for each competition, I suppose you can search this thread (and the first couple of months in the Main Thread²) for the posts made at the end of each round declaring the winners.

1 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1256522.msg13024635#msg13024635
2 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1159253.0

The latter; bets placed in any sport / event will count towards participation in the competition. The only exceptions to this are bets placed in the games "All-In Poker" or "Direct Dice" - those won't count.

Well, the truth is we are still deciding on how we will go about it. We can do as you initially suggested, where participants need to inform us beforehand of their intention to use the bonus on a given day; or we could, for example, always use the bonus by default for everyone, unless a participant explicitly asks us not to do so on a given day / for a given challenge. What would you guys prefer?

In relation to posting in advance what the challenges will be, I suppose we can do that, yes (much like we were doing with the Daily Challenges side competition).

Hello, everyone. We forgot to let you all know that the Hall of Fame has been updated with the results of the latest competition, and also, that we decided to keep it limited to 25 places for now (28 users have reached the top place prizes so far).

Finally, do let us know if you would like to see improvements to the Hall of Fame, or if you would like us to add a link to your personal Tipster Thread.

Hey, guys. We would like to remind everyone that this is the ideal time for participants to put forth, and discuss, ideas for the upcoming IX Free Tipster Competition. Let us know what you would like to see added / changed about the main, or side, competitions.

Oh, by the way, tomorrow, September 5, we will be posting the official competition dates.

Yes, as FrueGreads mentioned yesterday (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1256522.msg16104728#msg16104728), we'll have to wait a little while longer, before either DirectBet or Michelle (DirectDice) post all the instructions regarding prizes payout.

Thanks, DirectBet.

Here is the official announcement with the winners of the VIII Tipster Championship

We reached the minimum 50 qualified participants (with enough room to spare), so full prizes for everyone!

Well, after a competition ends, we usually take a couple of weeks to look at how things went, discuss ideas between us and with you guys concerning what to add / change for the following round, and then open the registration period for two more weeks, before actually starting a new round. So, if everything goes according to plan, the registration period should open in about two weeks, and the new competition should start a month from now.

At any rate, we'll keep you all updated on dates / changes / whatever happens through this thread, so stay tuned.

Sorry, minivan, but the current competition is almost over (and the late registration period ended a couple of weeks ago) - please join us for the next round instead (when the registration period opens; you will be able to register here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1248467.0).

Hmm, can I join this campaign?

If I understood you correctly, no, participants don't need to deposit their starting bankroll anywhere, nor do they need to actually have the full amount they initially declare in their wallets - provided they can place the required number of bets, that's fine.

By the way, in the future, please use the Discussion Thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1256522) instead, when posting questions / doubts (it makes things easier to follow for everyone).

Hmm, you can register another entry if you wish, want0sell, but, as the late registration period is already over, you will only be able to use this extra entry to finish the side competition - not to compete in the main competition (that will be limited to your first entry).

Please let us know if you would like to do so (through PM in this case, as the Registration Thread is already locked).

Hi, betohell. Please notice that you were added to the Leaderboard with a starting bankroll of 0.1 BTC (instead of the 0.01 BTC you requested to be added with), as this is the minimum starting bankroll currently allowed.

Also, only 12 more hours to go before the late registration period ends!
