No, I don't think there is a way for us to see that, so yesterday I sent DirectBet a PM asking them to confirm this.

Now, regardless of the answer, no one else came even close to 8 selections in a winning parlay (4 was the second best), so even if a few of Free1bitco.in's selections were placed at odds below the minimum, he'd still win.

It's alright, don't panic!

DirectBet will add your entry as soon as possible, but you can start betting with it already - you don't actually need to wait for it to show up in the Leaderboard before doing so.

Certainly; two more entries coming up. Thanks for joining us, Mediator.

Good luck!

Yes, all other valid bets and parlays not including those games will count towards your participation in the competition (well, except for bets placed on events that won't be resolved in time for this competition). Also, I should probably mention that the "Double or Nothing" betting option will also exclude a bet, since it is basically a parlay with "Direct Dice" mixed in.

Hello, everyone. The winner of today's challenge is... Free1bitco.in, with 8 selections in his parlay!

(Free1bitco.in, please PM your playing wallet account to Michelle (DirectDice) who will personally fund it with the prize amount)


Now, for the next challenge: the winner will be the participant with the winning bet with the highest odds.

Good luck!

Hi, amine14madrid. Your third entry will be added to the Leaderboard soon.

Good luck!

Thanks for joining us, hermanhs09.

Just to make sure: you will be using Doge with this entry, and not Ether, right?

Sure thing, ChasingCarsEU; your second entry will be added to the Leaderboard soon.

Good luck!

No. Bets with "Direct Dice" or "All-In Poker" mixed in will be manually removed as soon as possible, and will not affect a participant's progress in this competition at all.

As I've just posted, in response to a similar query from brianlee01:

Hi, sellrai. You haven't registered in the competition yet, have you? We're currently in the late registration period, so you can still join us if you go to the Registration Thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1248467.0), and post the address you will be using, and your starting bankroll, there.

Also, unless you have a question regarding a specific bet, please use the Main Thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1159253.0) to post your bets, instead of this thread (the Discussion Thread).

Well, neither "Direct Dice" nor "All-In Poker" bets count towards the Leaderboard - only bets on actual events/matches.

Now, I'm not entirely sure whether the whole parlay is removed in these cases, or if only the specific selections that aren't counted are excluded. I think it's the latter, but perhaps FrueGreads or DirectBet can correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: Nope, I was wrong about that last part. The whole bet is removed, if participants mix sports bets and "Direct Dice", or "All-In Poker" (they are manually removed later).

Sure; your third entry will be added soon, brianlee01.

Good luck!

Welcome, candymonkey. Thanks for joining us. By the way, we will be using your forum username in the competition as well (those two have to be the same).

Good luck!

Your second entry will be added to the Leaderboard soon, poplolnman.

Good luck!

In this case, the minimum odds of 1.15 apply to each individual selection (or, each individual bet, if you will) within a parlay - not to the parlay itself.

No; the daily prizes have no impact on participant's ROI as it is shown in the Leaderboard - they're just an extra prize.

However, this does put Vino ahead in the race to have the daily challenge winnings doubled.

Hi, Omikifuse. Your second and third entries will be added to the Leaderboard soon. And, of course, double top place prizes for these two entries.

Good luck!

Welcome, Erkallys. Your three entries will be added to the Leaderboard as soon as possible. And, by the way, double top place prizes for your Ether entry.

Good luck in the competition!

Nope; all the spots are taken. Thanks for bringing it up, by the way; I completely forgot to mention it.

This bet: https://directbet.eu/BetStatus.cshtml?BetID=1AjGdTqptt12GEePe9tSt93oq8MSv796Up? Yes, it counted.

In relation to when the Main Thread will be unlocked, we'll have to wait for FrueGreads to come online - but don't let that deter you from betting; the competition has already started, so go for it!

Well, as God.Of.Gambler pointed out, there is a 5% maximum stake limit for each bet - you can still bet however much you want, but as far as the competition is concerned, that bet will be registered (and will affect your ROI) as if it had been made at the maximum stake only.

For reference:

Hmm, the bet does show up in your bet list (at least now it does), and the Leaderboard shows all bets were counted - delays in confirmation apart, can you confirm that everything is correct now?
