Think your good at sports betting? Lets do a 1 vs 1 challenge then!

Here are the rules of my proposed challenge:
-Both players must make 25 picks total within 30 days (or 10 picks in 14 days, or 50 picks with a 60 day limit).
-Max playable lines are +200 to -200
-Every underdog moneyline play (+100 to +200) is RISKING 1 unit (example +150, RISKING 1 Unit To Win 1.5 units).
-Every favorite Moneyline or spread (-101 to -200) is TO WIN 1 unit (Example -200 would be risking 2 units TO WIN 1 unit)
-Winner is based on the FINAL overall +/- units.
-Only first 25 plays count (or 50 picks if that is the challenge length).
-Picks by both players must be made on http://www.pickmonitor.com/, no other way for submitting picks will be allowed. (This site does not allow plays to be canceled just FYI even before the event has begun.)
-Only lines offered on pickmonitor can count as eligible plays

If you are willing to do this let me know and I am willing to do up to 1BTC with any person, max of 5 BTC total to start off. Minimum will be .1 in BTC challenge. At the moment BTC is VERY volatile so if you would like to do a USD challenge (like my USD vs your USD, we could figure something out) I would definitely be for that too, same limits.

Will you allow escrow?
Yes, if you want escrow we will use John K or BCB, only for challenges of $25 (BTC equivalent) or more. In this case EACH player (you and me) will pay 1% more then the entry cost to cover the 2% escrow fee (we split the fee). For example: We want to challenge each other to .5 BTC challenge, each person would send .51 BTC to the escrow address. Winner would receive 1 BTC of the 1.02 sent to that address. I'd prefer not to escrow since the fees eat away our winnings but understand the trust issue involved with not escrowing.

If you are fine with me holding the coins, I will open an address in my 2fa protected wallet and send my entry fee first then have u send yours. Once both are rec'd, they will remain untouched until a winner has been decided.
Please see my feedback thread for history or ask sealswithclubs.eu members for my reputation there. I buy and sell BTC very frequently.

Cool idea!

If you're interested, we could help you host this challenge.

  • Users could make accounts and start with identical balances (could be small). With the users agreement we could release verified bet histories throughout the contest. Highest balance wins.
  • If interested we could also act as your escrow, free of charge.

We know that pick-monitor also helps track picks, but it would be cool to keep the contest within the BTC community! Plus it also seems cooler to bet against a real book, so you know it's always real odds you are betting.

Either way the contest sounds like a great idea.

Let us know if we can help!

Thanks bitbook but I kind of want to keep the actual amounts wagered / this contest separate. Where the only thing required at risk is the amount for the entry fee between players. Appreciate it though!

I would do a $10 challenge come College Footbal only based on picks % not on volume of money. CFB is what I really study and bet  on.

I follow CFB but mainly NFL, if you want I will accept your challenge if all picks are spreads ONLY.  Thus eliminating the different lines. I will be mostly picking NFL spreads against you just fyi.. Everyones volume of money too is the same.

If you want only 10 picks thats fine but I'd rather do 15, the variance on only 10 picks is very high. Would definitely like to get one of these challenges started to draw some attention.

Awesome twist on what I'm guessing might be my inspiration Huh Smiley

Yes, I'm down. I'll get my profile and everything ready. I request a max moneyline of -500.

I'd like to do a Round 1 of .5 BTC for 14 days - 14 picks. No escrow needed. If you'd like, make your PM profile post here and we can start Thursday 7/11/13.

I will meet you in the middle, +300 to -300 max lines, 10 plays within 14 is what I would like. For favs, you are risking whatever to win 1 unit, underdogs your risking 1 unit. I often do not have any plays in a single day so thus 14 in 14 days would be a lot for me and could cause me to "force" a play which I do not want. Here is the link to my page: http://www.pickmonitor.com/user/kingofsports/cappermetrics. I would prefer to start tomorrow if possible to get this thread going, I feel after one successful challenge has been completed others will step forward. If you want to do the challenge, please send .5 BTC to 1Junx2fYRV3b6MdFWxSoSL3WVxGbbGkSgd. I will send .5 the day before the challenge starts, if that is tomorrow then I will send today once your .5 has been rec'd.
