The winner of the 15^th Daily Challenge, "win the most bets in a row (minimum odds for each bet @1.20)", was patt0 with 11 bets. That, plus a >37% ROI yesterday, gave him an excellent start this week. Congrats patt0!




Daily Challenge Update

And here's the Daily Challenge for tomorrow:

#17 Daily Challenge (24^th of October)
- Winning single bet or parlay with the highest odds




- We will announce the winner of the #16 Daily Challenge tomorrow.
- As usual, don't forget that you need to have at least 1 settled bet on any given day to qualify for points.

Hello, if checked the leaderboard correctly, I believe I won the daily challenge yesterday, and I would like to receive my prize on the account patt01
Thanks

Sure thing.

Ah, great run guys for week 2. Did my best and would have won a bit more except that I placed some bets on other bookies with slightly better odds but still happy with progress.

Still have an issue with betting from mobile though... No computer access today so couldn't place any bets - I get the same error "no bets accepted from your country". Might try a different browser tomorrow.

Weird, especially since you still get the error when sharing the same connection (and IP) with the PC (but have no problem when using the PC). I don't know that this would help, but have you tried disabling location services in the smartphone for example, or maybe just using a VPN to connect to the site?

Hello. I made 3 bets yesterday with 0.07 mBTC each, which was my Min Bet according to Sports Leaderboard,



but, as I can see, I received zero points for that. Also I made 2 bets, with 0.07 mBTC and 0.08 mBTC, on Monday but according to the Sports Leaderboard my Weekly Points are 0.0000.

I'm not complaining because I think most likely I misunderstood something in the rules. But can you please explain what should be done, in my case, in order to be eligible for receiving the points?

[vd309]

Betwrong last update was for Monday only and probably you haven't got enough ROI to rank for points. For Tuesday you have 9th best ROI (1.819%) so on the next update I think you should be at 8pts + 0.9095 bonus = 8.9095

Btw you only need 1 valid bet per day to get points.

I guess we should wait for managers to explain, but from what I've seen, although you were eligible for points because you made bets on those days, your ROI% for those days just didn't got you there.

Don't know if you read the point system explanation on the rules thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5043267.msg46476467#msg46476467), but according to my interpretation they are giving points to 16 players (32 registered entries divided by 2 = 16). The last player receiving points was Pipin, and looking to the points he has, I would say he had above 1% Daily ROI. He has 1 point because he ranked on 16th for that, and 0.5904*2 = 1.1808, so this was his ROI% for that day, since positive ROI is added as bonus points.

Don't know the ROI% you had on Monday since it's no longer available on the leaderboard, but if it was bellow 1.1808% the ROI% made by Pipin, then that's why you didn't receive any points.

Looking at the leaderboard now, and seeing your ROI% for Tuesday, then I would say you will receive points on the next update, since you managed to rank on the best 16 players for that day.

Hope it helps.

EDIT: I guess vd309 was faster than me with his reply xD
But since I have some more examples I will keep my post. Hope it helps.

If Betwrong indeed only made 3 bets, and using the min amount allowable, then his total profit/ROI should be just below 2%... judging from the odds and profit he showed. If 0.07 MBT was his min bet (1%) then, he earned 0.07+0.0.01+0.05 = 0.13 MBT profit... which is close to 2%, so he definitely seems to have beaten pippin at 1.1808%.

But let's hear the explanations

I think he misunderstood that the update was for Monday + Tuesday, but it was only for Monday. These 3 bets he won are for Tuesday and he will be ranked I am sure.

But let's hear the explanations

You are mixing days. I was talking about the 22 October. On that day pippin had 1.1808% ROI, and looking at Betwrong bets for the 22, he had negative ROI%, with a 0.05 mBTC win and a -0.07 mBTC loss. So he didn't beat pippin (1.1808%) on that day, and that's probably why he didn't get any points on the last update (for the Monday 22).

I agree with vd309, that he will probably get points on the next update, related to the 23 October, since he ranked 9th, on the best 16 players (based on ROI%) for that day (the 23).

So no points for the 22 (the update that was already made), and he should get points for the 23 (the update that should happen today).

By the way, as far as beating pippin, he actually didn't made it again, since pippin had 12,0851% for the 23, and will rank 2nd on that day xD

Congrats on that ROI% pippin (vd309)!

Yeah, Bolt beats me  . BTW I think you broke the record for max possible points in a day, at least in the betking edition of the competition.

First edition didn't went well for me, and I've been away for a while on this second edition, so I'm not keeping track on players development every day, but it definitely was a great day for me, and it got me motivated for this third week xD

Second day was decent enough, so I think I will keep first position for the week right now, but don't really know what I can do today.
Only really hard games to bet on in my opinion xD

Some really great ROI% for a lot of players on these first two days, so the bar is quite high for this third week!

Hi Betwrong. It's pretty much like vd309 and patt0 said above: the update I posted yesterday was for Monday only (October 22, the first day of this third Weekly Contest), and on that day you had a ROI of -0.2841% - not enough to beat vd309 (entry pipin) with his +1.1808% ROI.

For reference, the following table shows the ROI% of everyone that received points (and how many points they received, base + bonus from ROI):

Hello everyone, as you may know I have a thread dedicated to rank bookies on this forum.

Your feedback, either for Betking or any other bookies you are experienced with, would be greatly appreciated.

This is important so that new users can cross valuable information from multiple sources, when choosing a new bookie to bet on. The more votes we have, the more reliable our ranks are!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1820529.0

Thank you.


I will update the points, regarding the 23 October, in the next hours.
As for Betwrong, it's exactly what was explained by u9y42.
I would just like to add a note of appreciation to our participants that keep helping us in this thread!

As usual, if you have any more questions please let us know.

Thank you, vd309, patt0, buwaytress, u9y42 and FrueGreads! Now I really understand the rules much better, and, yes, I can see now that I've got my weekly points for this week, 8.9259. First time I misunderstood the rules and I thought that each participant is getting some points as long as he/she is making at least one valid bet per day. Now I see that it depends on your daily ROI and it is possible to get zero points for a particular day even with some valid bets made. I like this system actually because it encourages you to make profitable bets. Great competition! Good luck to all the participants!

No worries, I'm also learning as we're progressing. Point really is just to aim for consistency, rather than for big points across the board. It's definitely a fairer system rewarding an aim for profits rather than an all-in approach, as that may net you high points for a few days here and there, but 0 on other days. Personally, am just entering the competition to see if my "system" stands a chance. I generally bet on long parlays, or an underdog I feel could cause an upset, so I always have more losses than wins overall, but try to make sure I hit on the high-value bets.

I believe I still managed to pip last place on negative ROI too (-0.5% or so), simply for volume of bets, so it's a good system that rewards activity as well.

Good experience overall!

Hi guys
Hope you are all enjoying the promo.

I've tried to improve things based on the feedback from some of you.
We now offer far more sports and markets than before, including esports, and have increased betting limits.

We have been reducing our margins constantly to be competitive with other sites. I think we are the best for soccer margins at the moment.

It would also be great if you could leave feedback in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1820529.0

Will look at reducing margins on more markets over the coming weeks.

Thanks

Good luck

Points and Daily Challenge Update

Hello everyone, here's our leaderboard update.
We are now in the last day of Week 3, so this is the time to make that final prize attack for this Third Week.
Although first place seems to be decided, since there's a 30.9 point lead (and the max points allowed for one day are 32), things are pretty balanced for the remaining 6 spots, so go for it!

Also, don't forget that the winner of today's Daily Challenge will be the user with the highest ROI% for the day, so I guess this is an additional incentive to aim for a high ROI%!

Tomorrow we will start our 4th Week, and weekly points will reset.
Good luck!
