Free Betting Competition $6000 in Prizes Sponsor: Betking.io (Discussion Thread)

[FrueGreads]

Thanks for your explanations, guys! As far as I understand, the minimum bet to be qualified for the competition is  0.08mBTC. I agree that this is not that much, but still it is 8 times higher than bets I make currently. Since I'm only starting I think I'll stick to the minimum bet possible, 0.01 mBTC, at least for a month, and then maybe I'll start making higher bets.

One more thing, maybe this is important. I haven't made any deposits on Betking.io. The money I have on my balance is what is left from my win in a free to enter poker tournament which was held this year in March, if I recall correctly. Can I still join or should I make at least one deposit?

No deposits are needed! The only requirement is that you are able to make bets with the minimum bet stake and with your own money. For instance if a bet was made with that 1.3 free bet you received, it wouldn't count for the competition. But if you won that free bet, and then made bets with that profit, since it was your money, they those bets would count.

Hope to see you soon, as you get more comfortable with in betting.

Thanks for the great explanation! I guess nothing prevents me from joining then, and will definitely do it in couple of minutes. Let's see what I can do with my 80k satoshis left. 

I will hardly win any of monthly or weekly prizes, but I will be doing my best to win some of your daily prizes though.

Btw, can you tell me what does the number in-between parenthesis mean here:

1st:   whitesugar2   (110,6576)   Won $150 as Bonus Betting Balance

Oh, that's just the total amount of points that participant received throughout the week (over 110 in whitesugar2's case). Of course, the more points someone gets compared to the other participants, the better.

We have 16, so we just need two more guys!



#24 Daily Challenge Winner
The winner of the 23^rd Daily Challenge, "User with the highest number of bet wins for the day (minimum odds 1.20)", was pipin, after winning a parlay with 7 selections (Bet ID:49028852). Congrats, you deserve this one!

Enough is enough.

Can't really believe what the f**k is happening

Seem like I'm not able to win a single bet no matter how low are the odds I choose  

How do you call this?



Am really discouraged .

Thanks for registering me, u9y42! I'm in profit so far. Made 5 bets with 0.08 mBTC, lost 3 of them but won these two nice ones



Hope to win in the highest Daily ROI% challenge today, although right now I'm on the second place. Can't decide what to do, make more bets or wait until the player with higher ROI than mine will lose several times.
Idk, I think I should make more bets, because from what I can see it looks like he has stopped playing.

Yeah, right. ) Went from 83k to 106k at first but after that lost almost everything. Told you, guys, I'm not that good at sports betting. Well, I still have 24k left, so I'll continue to participate until I either lose all or win. I like to play with big multipliers. In dice, for example, my fav bets are those with 0.01% win chance. That's why I prefer betting with high odds in sports betting, in other words, betting on something which will unlikely happen. Let's see what this strategy will do eventually.

Is it going to run for the next month or its over now?

[FrueGreads]

Is it going to run for the next month or its over now?

Hi vd309, yes we should continue with the competition, but as we normally did with directbet (our previous sponsor), we will probably have a small break for balance. Nothing special, normally 1 or 2 weeks, and we will then open registration again for the next edition, 2 weeks before it's estimated launch date.

We usually take this time to pay prizes, get feedback from users, and make changes to the competition format if needed.

We will make a post with all those details after we announce the winners of this First Edition!

Points, Daily Challenge, and Competition Update (And announcement of the winners of Week 4 plus Monthly Contest)

Congrats to all the winners! And in particular to vd309, Omikifuse and White sugar for the consistently good results they achieved throughout the competition.

We didn't quite have half of the registered entries (19) making the minimum 80 bets required for full prizes, but BetKing.io has decided to pay the prizes in full anyway. Thanks BetKing.

We would ask the participants that are to receive a Weekly / Monthly prize to create a new BetKing account specifically to receive them, and post or PM us the account name - if you have done so already, in order to receive one of the Daily Challenge prizes as a Bonus Betting Balance, there's no need to create another account (we can use that one again to credit these prizes).


I hope you all enjoyed the competition, and will stick around for the sequel - more on that in a later post. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions on how we can improve the competition, now is the time to post them.

Important Update

Hello everyone, I would like to start by congratulating you guys for participating in this First Edition of our Betting Competition, with BetKing.io as our sponsor.

Important Update
Hi guys, thanks for providing us with that information.
We've sent it to BetKing, that will manually credit all accounts, so please give us some time until everything gets done.

@Omikifuse We are still waiting for you to give us the account name, where which we should credit your Monthly prize, since that one has no restrictions associated with it, because you are wearing all incentives (sig + avatar + personal text).


In the meanwhile, feel free to provide us with some feedback about this first edition.
We had some players that eventually stop playing, others that registered and didn't play at all, and some that showed interest in joining but never registered.

From those we would like to know your reasons if possible, so we can try to improve our competition for the Second Edition.

From those that stayed with us to the end, we could of course like to get some feedback as well, so we can improve the competition if possible.

As usual your feedback is very important, otherwise we just don't know where we can try to make this competition even better.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hi, I registered only recently but still have managed to make 30 valid bets, and I can say that's it's been fun overall. I had 80k sats when registering. Then I had 106k after several bets (was playing with high odds). And then I lost almost everything and I made my last(as I thought) bet with 0.0200 MBT(2k sats). But I won that bet, and the next one, and the next one ... And now I have 30k sats on my balance, so I can continue playing.

Regarding making this competition even better, I want to suggest to concentrate rather on daily prizes than on monthly ones. Most people just physically can't make three valid bets per day, 30 days in a row. While almost everyone can find time, once or twice per month to compete for daily prizes.
