Do you take place in the wagering tournaments?

[OshiHugo]

Hi guys!
Wagering tournaments is something that I found that divides gamblers the most. Some of us hate them, some of us love them. What do you think about them? Do you consider them like a waste of money and nearly a fraud because you have to spend too much to have the chance chance to win? Do you like more alternatives like Oshi.io's win ration based tournaments? Or others kind? Or do you like them because they are easy to understand and you can influence your chances by betting more?
Let us know what you think!

[maydna]

i think i am not take place in the wagering tournaments because for me, its too crowded and i think i can not handled my emotional when i see there are too many people place their bets in the same time. i'd rather to place in other site and waiting until the game is end. beside that, i am too afraid if i am getting loss too much.

The tournament itself would help them make their casino more popular.

I also hate these kind of tournaments as they're like pay more to increase your chances of winning. I prefer tournaments where people start with a same amount of bankroll and whoever gets the highest profit/multipliers have a good chance of winnning.

Intend to win on any wagering tournaments will require more money. And the worse part is, we can lose more than the prize we can get. Wagering competition's main reason is to give rewards for active gamblers who plays regularly and with relatively big amount of money.

Hi OshiHugo!

Wagering tournaments is something that I found that divides gamblers the most.

Yes, it divides gamblers into fishes and whales.

Some of us hate them, some of us love them. What do you think about them?

I don't hate them, it's just i don't like them. I am small player so i have 0% possibility to win in wagering tournament.

Do you consider them like a waste of money and nearly a fraud because you have to spend too much to have the chance chance to win?

As I said it's for whales. Ask them.

Do you like more alternatives like Oshi.io's win ration based tournaments?

Yes, but to be honest i have never played at your casino although i signed up.

Or do you like them because they are easy to understand and you can influence your chances by betting more?

I think it's because they are tournaments based on luck - more luck you have - higher your win ratio will be - and logically higher the chance to win tournament.
In wagering tournament only thing you need is very big bankroll so you can wager a lot.

Wagering tournaments is a very good way to attract players to play at the site since there is always a chance to win some great bonus prizes at the end of the contest, many gambling sites especially dice sites have been actively promoting their sites via wagering tournaments and I have seen much more big whales playing on those sites rather than the sites that does not offers wagering tournaments.

That's true, tournaments aren't very rewarding for players, but look at it from the casino's side. It doesn't cost much, usually attracts enough people to pay for itself, may or may not attract new players, but since it's almost free it's worth the risk. The site that organizes it looks more active, there's always something going on and something to put on banners and in the advertising thread.

I usually don't enter unless it's a very small site that I trust, or if there are many places that have a prize. I don't gamble with a lot of BTC, so I almost 100% of the time will lose to a whale as they have bigger pockets than I do, so I spend time risking Bitcoin for nothing (or profit, if I'm lucky, but it usually doesn't happen when you try to wager a lot).

I think some of YoloDice's wagering competitions ended up +EV since there aren't many whales on the site, and some decent sized prizes were offered.

[OshiHugo]

Interesting! All of you. I can't even respond to everyone sadly :/
But in general - do you think that shorter tournaments that take place more often are better than the longer ones? What about some really short tournaments?
Also, which is better? Having an entering fee and starting with the same amount and then casual wagering or just win-ration based betting where you are free to bet any amount but you only get points based on your winration? eg. you get more points for betting 1mBTC and winning 10mBTC than for betting 500mBTC and winning 2000mBTC.?

 

Do you like more alternatives like Oshi.io's win ration based tournaments?

Yes, but to be honest i have never played at your casino although i signed up.

PS: you should try it - I would love to hear your thoughts on our winration based tournaments

[xuan87]

I don't really take place in wagering contest because I never bet too big in gambling, for me gambling is just for entertainment purposes, and I think if you are a big whale then the competition is good, you can get extra money by betting

And I think having a short tournament is better because the longer the tournament the bigger the gap will be and it will make the tournament not interesting if the gap is too big, having entering fee is not a good idea for me, getting point by betting amount and the winning percentage sees like an interesting idea

It's not that others or me hate them or something. It's just that I found it not comfortable for this kind of tournaments. First, I need to beat them all which has low chance since there are big whales around. Second, how can I know the legitimacy of the contest since it's easy to setup an account for the owner and joined the tournament. Third and last, I really don't like to spend bunch of money for this kind of tournament.

To answer this, I maybe biased but it's better to put the waiger tournament for short time but not that short. Maybe to span of a week and over etc.

About the option, I can't say it generally since the choices you have given might be better or not to gamblers as they have different perspectives. To test it, make a first tournament and see how it goes. List all "must be" and "should be" so that the revamp on second tournment will gonna be smooth.

No because these kind of tournament usually come with a very long list of small prints.  Like having TOS with 20 points only for the tournament and then in the end - and how read our main TOS. This kind of reading it is killing all of my joy just to gamble for a while.

So tournaments with a clear conditions are okay?

[bitcoinrusher]

Nope, these tournaments are the very example of asking only for whales and not for regular players and unlike raffles and deposit bonuses, Tournaments offer absolutely nothing for the regular player and the masses and rewarding 1-2 whales with bankroll much higher than the average bitcoin gambler.

[bering]

yes i have been a part of this kind of tournament several months ago but indeed to get profit it's very difficult and if you aren't lucky the prize of this tournament will more lower rather than your capital of amount but i don't really liked wagering tournament and i personally more prefer other kind such as poker tournament

What about win-ration tournaments?

No, you might been dejected by some site because usually when we are talking of dice sites the wagering contests have no "if's and donts " attached with them. I have myself played a lot of contests and despite not winning anything significant, I can proudly say the contest were fair and very promising.

There are few sites where I would never take a bonus or participate in contest, one of them is bitcasino.io

Yes, of course. But casino tournaments rarely are clear and simple

I agree with you about Dice contests. I also participated in few and it was easy and fun. But i believe OshiHugo is talking about casino yournaments like blackjack, slots, etc. And most of these slots are not even provably fair.

[piloder]

The one who can wager so much will not care about small amount all those wagering tournaments have so I think it is just waste of money for other small to medium level players.

Do you like more alternatives like Oshi.io's win ration based tournaments? Or others kind?

yes win ratio based tournaments like directdice used to have is what I like, Haven't checked similar tournament you guys have. Fortunejack also have daily giveaway (luckyjack) which is free to enter and we can win 100 mBtc which is quite amazing.
