Afternoon all!

Sorry for the lack of updates this week, i've been away from work on holiday and then a nasty bug kept me 'quarantined' at home.

I'm just updating the spreadsheet with this week's entrants and points now, and will be announcing the winners of the monthly prize soon - stay tuned!

Thanks very much,

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

This week had some upsets, I wasn't expecting to see West Ham and Crystal Palace lose at home. So much for my faith in the London clubs! It was also good to see Newcastle and Leicester giving the likes on Man City and Liverpool a good run for their money, with games much closer than predicted.

Because of the difficult results we only had two weekly winners in round four - Bitcointurk and Klarks_C! Both picked up 7 points each with two correct results, so we'll be in touch soon via PM to deliver your 50 free spins!

Now the moment you have all been waiting for - the points have been tallied, and the final scores are in for the monthly competition grand prize are in...





Congratulations to Sutters Mill and miha8 on taking first and second places in our grand prize table!

They have nabbed a tasty 0.05 BTC and 0.025 BTC respectively, and I'll be in touch very soon via PM to discuss prize delivery.


There's also the question of our last place booby prize winners... 

Congratulations (or commiserations?) to iwutitan and Pettuh4 who managed to only score 8 points each over the four weeks. You've won a stylish wooden spoon with your bitcointalk names engraved! 


Thanks to everyone who has taken part over the past four weeks. We'll be looking to run more sportsbook predictors very soon, so watch this space!

I'm back in the office tomorrow so I'll be sending out the prize PMs then.

Have a great week and enjoy the rest of the EPL season!

Congrats to the winners and thanks to Cloudbet for hosting.
Sadly my form dropped over the last two weeks (kind of like United’s). On the positive side I got to see Tottenham lose yesterday
Looking forward to next season’s comp

Awesome. Can't believe I won. Wasn't expecting to at all. Didn't do great on the last round but I got one correct score which probably sealed it for me. Thanks for running the comp!

[Cloudbet]

Morning all!

I'm back in the office and have just dropped our winners a PM to discuss prize delivery.

I'm hoping everything went smoothly in terms of prize delivery while I was away, but if there are any outstanding issues from last week please let me know!

Thanks to everyone for entering our competition, have a great week and enjoy the rest of the season!

PMed you a couple of days ago but still can't see the free spin ( won the previous week) in my account.

Thanks for the fun , looking further for another entertaining one.

[Cloudbet]

Sorry @hopenotlate just noticed your response, I'll check that now for you!

Week 4 Matches

Man City v Newcastle 3 - 0
Leicester v Liverpool 1 - 2
West Ham v Wolves 1 - 2
Crystal Palace v Southampton 1 - 1

If i don't have any mistake i have 6 points right?

[Cloudbet]

Hi vivavivu, thanks for getting in touch!

You got 3 points for predicting the exact result of the Leicester v Liverpool game (1-2), and you got 1 point each for picking the winners of the Man City v Newcastle, and West Ham v Wolves, totalling 5 points.

If you had managed to predict all 4 games exactly with correct scores you would be on 12 points.

Hope that clears things up, sorry it wasn't explained better in the OP!

Are we not playing this any more?

It was just for the first few rounds up until the player break

[Cloudbet]

@LFC_Bitcoin Taking a break for now, the predictor was a good test for the competition format and prize pool.

I'm planning to run another one in the near future, hopefully for the later rounds of the FA cup or an EPL Christmas predictor in December - I'll have some news for you soon! 

Thanks,

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Let me know if you need a hand running them. The superbru website is a good one to use as it takes away the hassle of tallying up the points manually and whatnot.

[Cloudbet]

Morning all!

I'm currently putting plans together for the next predictor competition, and since you were all involved in the last one I wanted to ask your opinions on the proposed new format:

Super 6 Soccer Predictor (Work in progress)

- Competition runs for 10 weeks
- 6 games per week
- Games picked from 6 competitions: EPL, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Champion's League, and Europa League
- 3 points for exact score prediction, 1 point for correct result (win/lose/draw)
- Weekly points prize table
- BTC currency prizes for top place finishers overall
- 'Back your bet': Place a multi bet on your predictions and post your Bet ID to double your weekly points score

Not sure about that last point, so I'd like to get your opinion on that especially.

Cards on the table - I'm obviously trying to find a way to incentivise placing bets with us (I mean, it's part of my job after all!) and it also allows me to push for a bigger prize pool if some of the budget will be recouped through bets placed. At the same time as a gamer I'm concerned about 'pay to win' and don't want to allow someone to double their points every week to grab a cheap win without showing off their prediction skills - could place a limit on the amount of times your points can be boosted over 10 weeks?

While on the subject of prizes - a few of the free spin bundles that people won last time went unclaimed, are there other kinds of casino bonuses you would prefer to play for? Or are physical prizes like Nano ledgers, tablets, etc more of a draw? 

Thanks, looking forward to your feedback!

Honestly, I haven't understood how I can claim a prize. Physical prizes is a good choice but it can be cryptocurrencies also.
10 weeks is fine for me. More chances to win...

I'd like physical prizes as well! Much more fun to have a chance at some hardware wallets or phones/tablets perhaps, electronics in general is usually a big hit

[Sutters Mill]

Glad the tournament should be starting again. I enjoyed it and I honestly didn't expect to win anything.

Physical prizes are cool and all, but I think a lot of people here are big on privacy and don't like giving their real world details out and especially their home addresses, though I guess you could offer a physical prize or the bitcoin equivalent and they can choose what they personally prefer. I like the idea of free credits, but I prefer free bets that can be placed on anything like sports rather than just free spins. The bookmaker I use I only bet with them because they give you a free bet every week as long as you wager a certain amount but they also have some great enhanced odds on certain sport accumulators. Maybe some people didn't claim their spins because they didn't have an account with you yet as well and was just taking part for the fun here. To get people betting I think it would be good to offer certain bonuses if they place an actual bet on site or something but maybe not give them bonus points here as that would be a huge unfair advantage, though I get why you would want to do that. Maybe you could do a prize draw for people who actual bet their predictions as well. The more you bet the more tickets you could get.
