Here are the rules and details:

---Entries---

1. It's free to enter

2. Format (please leave a post following this format to enroll in the competition)
 - Name: (use the same member names you use here on Bitcointalk)
 - Coin address:
 - Bankroll for the competition:

3. You can use any coin accepted by directbet.eu (BTC, LTC, DASH or DOGE). But you have to use the same coin / address during the ENTIRE competition.

4. You can enter with any bankroll amount.

5. A late registration during the first week of the competition will be allowed.

6. If you bust your bank during the first week and the next 4 days you are allowed ONE re-entry with the same bankroll you started with (or a smaller one), but your progress will not be reseted. Meaning that you will be re-entering the competition with negative ROI% (-50% ROI assuming you enter with the same amount)

---Betting Rules---

1. All bets must be made in directbet.eu (as they are your sponsor)

2. You should always post your bets in the competition thread after you placed your bet in directbet.eu. To do so you can just post the link of your bet from directbet.eu (you can get them at the "bet status" tab).
We will be tracking all your bets with the help of directbet.eu, so do not try to cheat or you will be disqualified.

3. When making bets, all payots must be set to the same coin address provided in the registration for this competition. Bets not made this way will not count for the competition.

4. For the purpose of this competition the max bet stake is capped 5% of your current bankroll. You can pass that limit, but the winnings/losses for the purpose of this competition will be rounded down as if they were made with a bet stake of 5% of current bank.

By current bank we refer to the bank that is reflecting your winnings/losses and bets placed during the competition.

5. A minimum of 20 bet slips must be made during the competition to qualify for prizes.

5.1 The minimum number of bet slips required to qualify can increase if your largest winning bet is won at odds above 10.
In this case that minimum will be two times that odd.

As an example:
You largest winning bet is won @11. This way you will have to place a minimum number of 22 bets in order to qualify (11 x 2 = 22 bet slips).

6. A minimum of 20 bets must be made during the competition to qualify for prizes.

7. You can not have "duplicate" bets even if they are made at diferent odds. If you do so, we will only count the first one.
This is an example of a duplicate bet:
 Barcelona v Real Madrid - Match Odds, Barcelona @2
 Barcelona v Real Madrid - Match Odds, Barcelona @1.5
In this case we will only count the first bet made.

---Determining the winner---

1. The winner will be the one with the better ROI % at the end of the competition

2. A bonus of 7% of each bet stake will be added to the leaderboard, no matter if you win or lose the bet (for the purpose of determining the winner only and not in the form of real money).

3. In the remote case of a tie, we will pay the higher prize for both winners.

---Prizes---

1. Top 3 will be paid

First place:  0.5 BTC;
Second place: 0.3 BTC;
Third place: 0.2 BTC

2. All prizes will be paid directly to the winners addresses.

---A few notes---

-Users with a tipster thread that have been posting tips in the forum for the past few months will have priority if they choose to enter but everyone can apply.

-These rules may suffer changes until the start of the competition. If that happens everyone will be informed.

- This competition will be monitored by me with the help of directbet.eu

- A leaderboard for the competition will be created and will be available in directbet.eu

- Duplicate accounts are not allowed in the competition. Anyone caught with a duplicate account will be disqualified.

- Players caught cheating will be disqualified.

[orryde]

hmm there is no need for escrow. First the entry is free so you are taking no risks, second as I said this event is being sponsored by directbet.eu. They will be paying the prizes not me.

They will soon promote the competition in their oficial forum thread. Also the leaderboard will be placed on their website.

As for the rules I will post a pratical case:
Lets say you place a bet in directbet.eu of 1 BTC @11
You will of course be paid 11 BTC if you win, but for the competition only 10 BTC will be added to your bankroll in the leaderboard, because you went above the max odds permited for this competition.

The same thing goes for the betting stake.
Lets say you have a bankroll of 1BTC meaning that 5% of that bank is 0.05 BTC.
If you bet more than 0.05 BTC you will of course be paid normaly, but for the competition purpose it's like you only placed a bet of 0.05 BTC

Hope I was clear enough. Feel free to ask anything else i you still have doubts.

The first part is invalid, since participants will be using their time which is not worth nothing. There are taking a risk.

I would say use an escrow. But if you are not willing to, at least get Directbet.eu to confirm it here.

Thanks

I have no interest in entering myself, I'm too lazy & I don't like losing .
I will be very interested in seeing how this all unravels though, it'll be pretty cool to see all the top guys battling with each other to be the best tipster here at bitcointalk.org
Good luck in advance to all the potential competitors

5. All bets must be made from the coin address you provided during the competition registration. Bets not made from that address will not count for the competition.

What about people with HD wallets which have different sending and receiving addresses every transaction?

Also bettors with higher bankrolls will have a clear advantage because single bets will be on par with lower stakes on the parlays for the people with smaller bankrolls.

The problem with the addresses is that we need one single address to be able to track every single bet made by that participant in order to prevent cheating (like ommiting losing bets etc).

As for the different bankrolls there will be no advantage. You will state the bankroll you will use for the competition, and all your winnings and losses and bet stakes will relate to that bankroll.

The winner will be the one with higher % of profit, and not the higher flat profit, so it's equal to everyone either you have a big bank or a small one.

[Wendigo]

Thank you for the clarification. For a moment I thought you meant the highest roi as the highest bankroll at the end of this.

[Joca97]

Ofcourse im in you can add me instantly
but i dont like some of the rules not one bit,you need to change some

also im angry that max odd is 10x it should be at least 30x

I dont agree with next things :
The maximum bet allowed is 5% of your current bankroll. If you pass that limit, the winnings for the purpose of this competition will be rounded down as if they were made with a bet stake of 5% of current bank.

All bets can only have a maximum odd of 10. If you pass that limit, the winnings for the purpose of this competition will be rounded down as if they were made at odds of 10.

--
also someone should make clear some things,if someone has a bankroll of 100 btc and for example someone has 0.1 btc,that means that the 100btc is in the better position by a mile because of the % thing

I think everybody should have the same start up budget,like the minimum to enter should be at least 0.1 btc and nothing more then that
also betslips should be posted before the game or sended to the OP

The only positive thing i have seen in the thread is that the competition will start in 13 days,that means you got lots and lots of fixing to do

also pm me what i need to post in the thread to enter

[DirectBet]

What about people with HD wallets which have different sending and receiving addresses every transaction?

All wallets are compatible. You simply need to use the same payout address for all your bets so that we will be able to track your progress in the leaderboard.

how will you know if the bets are correct ? where do we need to place are betting slips,and do we post them before a game?

[DirectBet]

how will you know if the bets are correct ? where do we need to place are betting slips,and do we post them before a game?

All bets that you place as part of this competition need to be placed for real on our website. This will allow us to track the progress of each tipster and create the leaderboard.

If you want to participate but you don't want to risk much - that's not a problem. You can state that your bankroll is 10,000 DOGE for example and play with them. That's equivalent to 0.005 BTC and that's all you have to risk !

There is no advantage for playing with a bigger stack. That's because the winner is the one with the highest percentage of profit and not the actual amount.

For example, you start the competition with 1 BTC and ends it with 2 BTC. You made a profit of 100%.

Someone else starts the competition with 100 BTC and ends with 150 BTC. He made a profit of 50%. You still win because your ROI (return on investment) is higher.

We specifically created the competition rules in a way that provides a playing level field for everyone.
