Note: Competition was closed due to poor response. Watch out for the upcoming 2018/2019 English Premier League contest, free to enter. Link to be posted soon. === I am holding a small competition for the World Cup 2018 in Russia. It will start with tomorrow's opener on 14 June 17:00 CET and end after the final match to be held on 17 July 17:00 CET. I will be posting my own bets, but I won't compete for the prizes. How to participate 1. Each Match Day, you can post ONE betslip here, showing a bet made on any World Cup match. It can be a single bet or parlay/accumulator, on any line/props/outcome. 2. Include a brief bet description (event, wager and odds). 3. Include a brief (or wordy, I won't mind) sentence or two describing the bet or why you made it. 4. After the bet is settled and if you win, return here and quote your original post with the winning betslip. 5. The decimal odds of your winning bet is added as your score for the day and updated on a public spreadsheet under each Match Day. If you lost your bet, a score of 1 will be added. For example, if you win a bet with a decimal odds of 1.72, then 1.72 is your score for the day. 6. At the end of the competition, all scores are multiplied for a final score. 7. The top three scores win a prize in BTC, paid within a week after the final game on 17 July. PRIZES
1st place: 0.015 BTC
2nd place: 0.01 BTC
3rd place: 0.005 BTC
Bonus Prize: 0.005 to be awarded to the participant with the highest single daily score. Participation rules: 1. Min account rank of Member (just to minimise fraud).
2. Bets made in Bitcoin only (no fiat bookies, no altcoin bets), with a minimum bet of 0.0005 BTC (or 0.5 mBTC as some bookies say).
3. Only ONE bet per player for ONE MatchDay. More than one bet disqualifies participation for the day. You may not replace a posted bet.
4. No promotional content allowed.
5. I reserve the right to disqualify participants if I suspect cheating. TIPS- This competition is based on odds rather than bet sizes. This looks to reward unlikelier outcomes. - I will be posting bets made on BitcoinRush.io, as their odds tend to be higher than other bookies. They are not sponsoring this contest. - There are 25 Match Days in total. If your bookie has even 1% better odds than others, this already gives you a 28.2% advantage if you win every bet. So shop around for the best odds! - I will make a post with my MatchDay 1 betslip, just to show how it's done. Hope everyone enjoys the World Cup! P.S. Originally, I wanted to host a prediction-style pool but have decided that there are superior pools that you can also participate in, hosted by a reputable forum Mod, which you can find details of here. I'm participating in all the pools there and can recommend it for high-quality match discussions by some of the most active sports tipsters and bettors on bitcointalk. |

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

My bet for MatchDay 1 ( betslip linked). Saudi Arabia - Yellow Cards (-0.5 handicap) @1.75 Russia will be eager to win, Saudi will be hoping for the upset but will probably draw at best and probably get a couple of bookings along the way. Officials will likely be kind to the hosts on the opening game, and the Russians shouldn't need to be over zealous. |

Turns out this isn't a popular idea but I'll see how the response goes for a few more days. I'll also lower the minimum bet to 0.0005 (50,000 satoshi or 0.5 mBTC). Maybe the minimum was too high before? My Matchday Bet for today is to back Iran against Morocco @3.84: betslip hereProbably lose, but I've a feeling the Iranians will bring their game today against a confident Morocco. |

No worries! And thanks and welcome as the first participant! I won the Iran game so am very happy with my first result and it was quite a good payout, never mind that it had to be an injury-time own goal, although still in a loss from yesterday's game! Your bet didn't win, so the spreadsheet was updated with a score of "1". Hope to get more participants, I wondered if the min bet was too low but surely people bet $3 on World Cup games, no? |

Hope to get more participants, I wondered if the min bet was too low but surely people bet $3 on World Cup games, no? up to 5 mbtc min bet is good IMO , I really doubt that anyone is betting less than that on the world cup I had a decent shot with betfair took X/Morocco HT/FT with X5.500 , but Morocco wasn't able to threaten Iran even they dominated the game I guess you will get more people to join mate , I just discovered the thread today and I'm sure many also didn't notice it so probably tomorrow we will have more participants |

Thanks for the input, SyG, let's hope to see more participants join by end of the week, or more feedback into how I could get more participation for future. In any case, I put a number of bets down today, encouraged by yesterday's risk-taking. But my pick for MatchDay 3 is a parlay on France, Argentina and Croatia for total odds @3.09: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=EWq6W1jdJorNYmBVhilh9CYJpOY4XM%2ByrQa459AVHlM%3DFrance and Argentina should get their wins comfortably, though I suspect not as easily as most people would expect, and the real risk is Croatia because Nigeria I feel are ranked a lot lower than they should be but the Eagles are not as strong as previous incarnations, so a slim win should put Croatia into a strong bid for 2nd or 3rd place in their group. |

Just asking mate, is this betting site that you shared safe to use? Do they accept bitcoin as bet? |

Just asking mate, is this betting site that you shared safe to use? Do they accept bitcoin as bet? He's using the same site I do, and I've been betting there for over a year, and it's a site that's 4 years old - if you take a look at the Bitcoin gambling industry, that's a really long time to be around given the rate of survival (it's low). Reputation-wise, you'll also find a clean bill of health looking up their name online, and since their relaunch last year, their odds have only become more attractive. That said, I would never guarantee "safety" of any crypto site, since in the end, if they decide to close shop and run, there's nothing we can do. They accept Bitcoin and ADK on sportsbook bets... soon to be accepting about 10 other alts once the exchange integration completes (you read that right, casino/sportsbook/exchange/wallet). |

Just asking mate, is this betting site that you shared safe to use? Do they accept bitcoin as bet? yes mate it's safe and trusted , it's actually the best when it comes to bitcoin betting they are a mirror of pinnacle , so all the odds there are from pinnacle and the site makes around 2% of the stakes just by accepting the bets so nothing to worry about regarding today I will take a long shot on Nigeria to win , I believe surprises can happen in this game and looking at the odds I do believe there is a chance  https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=eif47cGbnrZzeNA%2F85XYpck0ezgywtrPPqnCYIeC0rQ%3D |

Have you used escrow to hold a gift? By doing that I think your thread will be more crowded. Because the gift has been reflected in escrow. It is my suggestion that the competition you open has many participants

don't see any need for an escrow , account trust for buwaytress is more than enough since the prize isn't that insanely high also he isn't getting anything in return by hosting this competition , so I'm pretty sure this is not why there aren't more people participating |

Hope the beginners luck is on me . Sorry that Nigeria lost that game. |

And the min bet amount is pretty small now, something like $3, for a chance to win something more. The total prize share is maybe not as much, but since there are so few people playing, your chances are better? In fact, there's no one now with any score, so if you participate, you could still have a good chance to win 1 of 4 prizes available. I can still get escrow if it'll help, but the trusted escrows here charge almost what the total prizes are! Anyway, my entry for today is a simple doubler on Brazil and Germany parlay to both win @2.07: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=X03MBVDhAmlcdbO7iy%2BDaZSezrR%2FhZyMAMxPADZO%2F2w%3DMessi's missed penalty yesterday cost me my parlay, but I'm not too upset. I also made another almost double on Serbia@1.95: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=ZTytJY9p5Q0egE5BZENeyv92huENLyG%2FjeuZkN8DRgA%3DGood luck everyone! |

Looks like we've both been made fools today Sy. I won the Serbia bet, but lost the heavier parlay with that Mexico shocker so my score won't count to the totals (but a reminder, to potential participants, my scores don't count towards the prizes). The Argentina miss was less difficult to digest, even if it was only against Icelandic part timers. Mexico aren't push overs but Germany was fully expected to win this one. Whoever backed them will have enjoyed a nice payout! |

Whoever backed them will have enjoyed a nice payout! hehe yeah bro , damn I'm honestly thinking of backing all the under dogs with handicap in the next games since I failed with Spain , Argentina , Germany and Brazil predicted Australia +1.5 against France which was true , so I'm really thinking about starting backing up the underdogs I have Tunisia +1.5 for tomorrow , but can't see Belgium winning by less than 2 goals since Panama isn't that impressive at all so will took Belgium-1.5 also I followed South Korea journey in the qualification since they were in the same group with Syria , and to be honest you can't expect much from them since they played really poor and if Syria won their last game against Iran South Korea wouldn't qualify so taking Sweden win to NIL may be a good idea , but Sweden moneyline in general is good as well I'm sure tomorrow we should be in profit  |

Good to hear, welcome! Remember, you just need to post/share what you already bet, so it's not like it costs you anything extra to join:) @SyG: I swear I don't know what I'm doing any more. My bets aren't reflecting what I really think, and neither are some of my predictions on our separate WC pool. So far evening out on money but took a few risks today, but my pick to share today is Sweden simple moneyline bet. My heart backs South Korea but like you said... they aren't inspiring confidence: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=umzGh%2B0eBG0728XVXLIT7Dc5TS9X5YmmbCsf06iKY6E%3D |
