Free Betting Competition $2000 in Prizes Sponsor: Betking.io (Discussion Thread)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is exactly the Tipster Competition ? I can't find an explicative post that would explain what it is. I thought about a competition that showcase the best betters or a kind of investment. Can someone explain me ?

Hello Erkallys, that it not a dumb question at all.
The Tipster Competition was an initiative started by me a few months ago. I saw so many tipsters threads that I thought why not create a competition to see who is the "best" tipster in the forum.

Of course to be a good initiative we needed a sponsor so I talked to DirecBet that were kind enough to support the initiative and be our official sponsor, creating the leaderboard and providing the prizes etc

We are now in the fourth edition (it runs on a monthly basis).


Here are the links with all the important information, regarding rules and how to register if you are interested in participating. If you have any doubts just let me know.

Dates for the competition:
Registration Schedule

It is interesting that only after 1 hour of adding to competition, this entry is already at +50.5% profit.

Does that mean that anyone could enter after 14 days at 31st December and all bets made from 2 weeks behind will count ?

Well, each case is manually analyzed to ensure there is no abuse of the system, so not all bets may count, in that situation.

Too easy to abuse if you accept previous bets. Just do bets with several addresses, then select the ones with highest returns and use them to register

Exactly that happened twice already and those two added accounts will probably take 1st and 2nd place, because they were registered with +100% and +50% profit advantage from the start !

Maybe someone will register next account with 200% ROI/profit start advantage ?

Hello GrandeMar, as I already said we are analyzing each registration manually, and we have no reasons to believe that there was any kind of attempt to abuse or exploit the rules.

Acckill made most of his profit after signing up, and Sanerin used addresses that were already associated with him, so he was not creating new addresses and only try to register the winning ones.

Again we will examine every situation, and disqualify anyone that tries to abuse the rules.

No, Direct Dice bets do not count towards the leaderboard.

To add to DirectBet's answer, neither "Direct Dice" nor "All-In Poker" bets count in this competition - sorry, but it's just not the type of events that would make sense to include in a tipster/punter competition.

No, Direct Dice bets do not count towards the leaderboard.

But I see some Direct Dice bets in people's pick, in parlays.

For example:

https://directbet.eu/BetStatus.cshtml?BetID=16aJpyus9xSyJuWFaQqjDL5evbbaRn6KQa

From user:

https://directbet.eu/Competition.cshtml?Competitor=marketingcoin

It is in his picks and I'm more or less sure that has been counted because I noticed that his % in gains increased and his last bet was the dice parlay(3rd one at the moment, from top to bottom).

Also is it possible parlay dice and sports? Are you sure that the bet won't be counted too, if possible?

Well, the process to remove those bets isn't automatic, so they are initially counted - until such time that someone goes over them and manually removes them.

thanks.

But some of participants are doing this type of betting now for competition.

thanks.

Participants can do so; but, as I mentioned in the above post to Omikifuse, "Direct Dice" / "All-In Poker" bets will eventually be (manually) removed, and the participants' ROI will be adjusted accordingly.

Merry Christmas and thanks to you and DirectBet for hosting this great competition!

I need a clarification about the prizes:
If I finish this competition between the first 7 places and of course I qualify for them by placing at least 70 bets,will I get the according prize for the place I took+ the participation prize? Or just the prize for the respective place?

You will also get the participation prize. We decided to offer a participation prize this time, and not a consolation prize, so everyone gets that prize as long as they make the minimum bet requirement.

Also please remember that you will only get one participation prize even if you use the multi entry feature, but you can add up 3 Top7 prizes, if you place on Top7 with 3 accounts.

Hello everyone, hope you had a great Christmas.
Just wanted to remember that we need at least 50 active players to get full prizes.
We still have 23 players that have not placed any bets, you need at least 70 bets to be considered an active player and be eligible for prizes!

We have plenty of time, since competition only ends at February 1st 00h, UTC, but please keep that in mind!

Why not take advantage of the Premier League Boxing day!

Good luck to your bets, and Happy Holidays to all!

Yes I have seen many players have not been active in the competition, this may be due to the Christmas holidays and some countries have not started a league match. I'm sure they just want to bet on the popular leagues such as EPL, Serie A and others

You are probably right. And that's the reasons why this competition will last a little more than a month.
Note that this one only ends at the end of January, and it already started at 19th December, so there is no excuse not fulfill the requirements for the full prizes!!

Oh, now I understand the reason this competition is run for 1 month or more previously I wondered.
I was also less active a few weeks, I will return to play after getting the payment of a signature campaign 

[Republikcoin.com]

I want to ask about the removal or restart bankroll is still valid in this competition 
I mean like the last competition, a player may remove bankroll if you lose by paying with BTC

[Joca97]

Until what date can we restart are ROI % ?
