Bit14.com (funding first tickets free, 0.08 BTC per!)

[codro]

Hello all,

I've been working on something and would like to get some opinions.

Bit14.com is a sports forecast betting site where you can select outcomes for 14 (football/soccer) matches. Try to get at least 11 right and you will win an accumulating jackpot.

To help it get started, I'm going to fund the first 20 tickets to a maximum of 0.08 BTC each (4 picks). Just post the link to each ticket below and I'll proceed by actually funding them (you can check via blockchain).

Note: To create a ticket there are 3 steps:
1) Make your pick(s), and click Submit.
2) On the following step you will be able to enter a Bitcoin address where you will receive your winnings if you win. Feel free to create a new address for it for extra anonymity.
3) This is the bet slip, you will now be able to pay for/fund your ticket. This is the page that I need the link of in order to fund your ticket.

Thanks, and I'm looking forward to reading your feedback!

Hey,

I was looking on your site, and it really looks pretty straight forward. Of course, you can always try to bet online some real cash, but giving this opportunity to bitcoins owners is great. The ticket gets placed in a couple of seconds, without creating an account, depositing money etc. (like you have to do for online betting).

The only drawback I can see is the jackpot's value. When the jackpot will be high enough, I don't see why any football (soccer) fans won't try their chances for winning some bitcoins.

The site looks great, simple but efficient, easy to navigate. All the games seems to be part of the most important football leagues from Europe, so it shouldn't be very difficult to get a pick.

Good look to everyone!

Here's my pick: http://bit14.com/ShowPick/ab360f56-a368-4962-8fb2-caa5bcebb2e9

You're right that the prize pool is low, that's the plan with these free tickets. Trying to increase the prize pool while also introducing people to the site. Your feedback is much appreciated. Keep em coming.

Tip: You can initialize the ticket with the match favorites and then tweak from there. To get to 4 picks you basically need to pick up to two outcomes for two of the 14 matches, and one for the rest.

Also, I'm thinking about adding basketball (NBA, NCAA) if there's an interest.

Prize pool is now at 1.24BTC but I want to make it higher, so send me your tickets!
