Thanks for the invitation but I'll skip this month and I hope I'd available for another one. Too busy at the moment to focus on a contest that would drive me mad, considering how competitive I can possibly be.
I wish best of luck to all those who'll let in and I'll follow the contest to see how it goes.

I am in, can't believe I almost missed this one. Good thing buwaytress posted about it in one in of the topics I am following. I am just waiting with official registration since I can't decide on the size of my bank. I sort of like to bet with big amounts and I am considering entering with big bank or smaller bank and basically doubling the amounts of tickets I make.

@vennali
I feel like you have given yourself a lot of work organizing the competition with rules like this one but if you are up to it the rules are perfect for us players. Basically no restrictions at all. Thanks for organizing this.

Wow, I genuinely thought I invited you and hence I didn't try again. I might have to check on how I missed it. Anyways, You'll at least have a weeks time to register after the tournament commences. So, there's plenty of time to figure out your bankroll and join in.

It is a lot of work indeed. I am currently trying to find ways so that I can auto calculate on google sheets by just putting in the numbers. So, that half the job is done by that. If I can sort that out, rest isnt too hard. Slightly time taking process but I'm happy to dedicate a couple of hours everyday to do it.


Thanks for the invitation but I'll skip this month and I hope I'd available for another one. Too busy at the moment to focus on a contest that would drive me mad, considering how competitive I can possibly be.
I wish best of luck to all those who'll let in and I'll follow the contest to see how it goes.

Thats alright mate. Good luck with your work. Do follow and if possible, join in. Registration will remain open for at least a week after the tournament starts.


Thank you for your invitation, if I'm reading this right you'd like me to list my bets over the next month.  Do bets already in play (that are drawn after the 15th of March) count, or is it new bets from the 15th onwards only?

I bet on freebitco.in - Ref link is in my signature  Grin and my bankroll is BTC 0.00510406 -



It might be a little conservative for the game, but my bets are usually only BTC 0.0001




~snip~
That is perfectly alright that you make smaller bets. In fact, It is a lot more durable as well as potentially profitable when you make smaller bets. According to experts in bankroll management(which is neglected by most casual gamblers) the most one should bet with is 5% of your bankroll. Hence, the competition having that said limit in terms of ROI. I'm trying to not just make it a tournament but also (if possible) teach a few things to fellow gamblers.

Regarding your bets, I don't mind it if the bets have already been made but I cannot accept the ones that starts before the tournament does. I will post the link and PM every participants about where to post their bets. Please do so in the respective thread. 2 of the bets you've posted, the event occurs on 14th March, and those wont be counted.


Thank you for the invite dude.
I voted for Maharaja as it was used before in MMORPG's that I played. That's all the reason I voted for it.  Grin  Roll Eyes

Anyway, I will not be participating in the contest.
I just don't like recording what I bet or how much I spent. Maybe someone does that and this is a good opportunity for them.
Good luck to all the participants.

That's alright, feel free to follow the tournament and join in if your opinion changes. Smiley



Thanks for the responses, vennali. I've pinged a couple of people now to see if they might like to join, and it's not like it takes additional betting too, so why not, right? I'd love to be the Maharaja, it would be really cool to also award additional points or something for actualy commentary and rationale behind the betting though;)

I've registered btw, declared a bankroll of 20 mbtc;) I don't expect to win as my style is highly detrimental to short term gains (I go for long odds and parlays, so have even a win rate of < 30 % but rely on big value bets to carry me) but still, who knows?
Its a month long tournament, not too short. Hopefully it just works out. You probably just need a parlay or two to click(if you go for high odds). GL Smiley

I cant award bonus points for commentary, but feel free to do some. Someone may follow your bets and would love to know the rationale on why you chose to bet on the event, etc.

This looks like fun. I think I'll enter.


So from what I understand the rules are:

The goal is to have the highest ROI at the end of the contest, and the top 3 win a prize.

Declare a bank amount
example: 1mbtc

Risk 5% or less of your bank per bet*
example: risk 0.05mbtc

Make at least 20 bets

Bets must be pre-match, parlays are allowed, no live bets

Share the official betslips that show Bet ID and risk amount before the match starts

Duration of tournament is March15 12:00am GMT - April12 12:00am GMT

--

*I have two questions about the 5% max cap rule. Does the max 5% cap apply to both risk amount and profit amount, or just risk amount? If I risk 5% of my bank on a huge underdog or parlay that pays out more than 5% of my bankroll, and it hits, does this count? For example if my bank=1mbtc, I risk 5% of bank (0.05mbtc) @5.00 odds, and profit 0.2mbtc. Will this be recorded for the contest as a 20% gain or a 5% gain?

Does the 5% max cap change, does it grow with current bankroll balance, or is it static and based on your initial declared bankroll? (Flat betting 5% on initial bankroll vs recalculating what 5% is of current bankroll.) If I grow my bankroll from 1mbtc to 1.5mbtc, does the risk max 5% change from 0.05mbtc to 0.075mbtc? Or is max 5% risk fixed on starting bank? If you win are you allowed to risk more (5% of current bankroll vs 5% of starting bankroll)?

--

According to your post earlier, I think the 5% max cap applies only to the bet risk amount (and not profit)? And that the 5% max cap risk amount changes dynamically with the current bankroll balance. Is this correct? I think it would make it easier if it was fixed--5% of starting bankroll is your max risk per bet (as opposed to constantly changing and re-calculating 5% of current bankroll after wins and losses).



Now, according to the rules of the tournament, 5% max will be considered as stake for the bet, you for ROI table, your bet will be considered as 0.05mBTC. Now, you've won the bet at the odds of 1.05x. So, You've won 0.0025mBTC.

Now, What was your betting stack before the bet = 1mBTC.
How much have you bet = 1mBTC
How much will be considered as bet for the competition(5% of current balance) =  [(5x1)/100] = 0.05mBTC
Odds that you've bet at =1.05x
Bet status = won
Tournament's bet calculation = 0.05(tournament considered bet) x 1.05x (odds) = 0.0525mBTC
Amount won = Tournament's bet calculation - Considered bet = 0.0525 - 0.05 = 0.0025mBTC
New Balance = Bankroll before the bet + Amount won = 1mBTC+ 0.0025mbtc = 1.0025mBTC
ROI[(balance before bet x new balance)/100] = 0.010025%

Your ROI and Balance will be updated after every bet you make (its a lot of work for me, but I'm happy to do it).
Which means, after every bet you make, I'll calculate all the above and then calculate the ROI for the competition accordingly. The first screenshot will obviously be calculated first.

my bankroll is BTC 0.00510406

-snip-

but my bets are usually only BTC 0.0001

Just wondering is this your declared bankroll for the competition? If you bets mostly with 0.0001 btc then declare a smaller bankroll. Only 5% max of your bankroll will be counted for the ROI so in your case 0.0001 btc is only like 2% of your bankroll. So in case if you win, you will get full ROI count from your bet

I sort of like to bet with big amounts and I am considering entering with big bank or smaller bank and basically doubling the amounts of tickets I make.

Yep go with the smallest bankroll possible. The point of this competition is to get the highest ROI from your bankroll not to get the highest profit margin from your bankroll so whatever amount doesnt matter at all as long as you keep on winning and increasing your ROI count . Just make sure that it is within your budget though

Hi and thanks for the reply - I'd scrolled through the thread and saw the 8th of March was the start date, then after I posted, went back and read the post in it's entirity and saw the changed start date.  Can you advise which thread we need to post in please?  Do we just update the one post, or, make multiple posts as we place new wagers?

Yes.

Quote
If you bets mostly with 0.0001 btc then declare a smaller bankroll.

Why?  There's a half dozen football competitions each weekend in the UK, there's ~ 20 wagers.  Then there's the upcoming Grammy Awards,  I took screen shots, but had to do some other stuff and can't redo until Monday (Taylor Swift etc to win).

Quote

I think you just answered your own question.

Realistically, I could place 100 satoshi wagers on every thing paying over 100:1 and if one or two come up, then I've blitz the competition - no?




The two wagers pre 15th of March had already been placed before my declared bankroll.

Thanks for your questions. I think these are pretty important questions that has been touched but not with respect to specific circumstances. I'll try my best to give you example so that its easier to understand.
The max cap is only for the consideration of bet amount with respect to your stack. Your profits can still be unlimited/uncapped. Also, you are allowed to make bets larger than 5% of your bankroll but for the competition, I would calculate it with respect to your bankroll and automatically consider it as 5% of it. I have given an example earlier regarding the same(which you've quoted).

1)for 0.05mBTC bet(@5x) with bankroll 1mBTC,  Your gain would be 20% but lets say you have bet your whole bankroll(1mBTC) on that 5x and won. For your ROI, it would be considered as 5% of your current bankroll. Which would be 0.05mBTC.. and your ROI would still be considered the same 20%. ie. Your new bankroll for any future bets would be considered as 1.2mBTC in both cases. Whereas, if You lose your bet. In the 2nd case, since you have lost all your bankroll, you are out of the tournament. In the first case, since you've bet 5% of your bankroll. New bankroll That I'd consider is 0.95mBTC and calculate 5% for max bet accordingly.

2)I understand that it would be easier if it was a fixed 5% of your original bankroll but it would hinder the profitability/ ROI for a successful bettor. Lets just say a competitor has successfully managed to double his ROI but still all he can bet with is the initial 5%. For his new bankroll, that would just be 2.5% of the value. We will be hindering his profitability and even in the opposite case, If someone keeps losing his bets while considering his initial bet cap, he is more likely to lose his bankroll a lot faster(Nobody wants to watch a fellow bettor lose his bankroll).

Hope that makes sense. Feel free to ask more questions or anything you feel I haven't answered clearly enough, regarding the tournament.

To make it easier for the contestants regarding their dynamic bankrolls. I will try my best to keep their new bankroll updated at least once a day and make a column for both new bankroll after a bet(ill mention which bet) and also mention what 5% of the new bankroll will be. I'll work on making a new google sheets today and tomorrow so that I can portray as much information as possible in table form, regarding the competition.



Hi and thanks for the reply - I'd scrolled through the thread and saw the 8th of March was the start date, then after I posted, went back and read the post in it's entirity and saw the changed start date.  Can you advise which thread we need to post in please?  Do we just update the one post, or, make multiple posts as we place new wagers?

Apologies for the confusion.I had changed the dates earlier because I felt like I didn't give enough time for contestants to enroll(announced on 4th and tournament was set to begin on 8th). So, I had provided additional 1 week for registrations. Since the tournament went unnoticed by large parts of the bitcointalk community and I wanted to make sure that I'd give everyone visiting gambling and gambling discussions regularly get a chance to see and join the tournament. Hence, I extended the registration period and planned to start the tournament a week later. I had announced it and PM'd the contestants enrolled the same day(on 6th/7th March) and had updated the thread the same day. Maybe you saw the starting date on some quoted message. Regarding your questions:

I will create a games and rounds thread(which is a lot more appropriate for posting screenshots) and will PM every contestants about it by tomorrow. You have to make new posts for ever new bet you make. Please do not edit the bets, If I haven't counted them already, I will deem them as invalid(if there's any editing done after the matches in the bets have commenced). You may edit the betslips before the matches in your betslips starts but try to avoid any editing if possible, especially when the match start time is close by.

Vennali you should note that Freebitcoin is a mutual betting sportsbook, that means odds are changing along with the amounts bet on each outcomes by bettors. Bettors only know which (final) odds will be used to pay their winnings after the closure, so I don't know how you will manage that.
Moreover big bettors (whales) can quite easily change the odds and manipulate the market. That's not the same way of betting as with a classical sportsbook where odds are fixed once you've placed your bet.

Good point. I'm looking into it right now. At the moment, I think the solution is to consider the estimated odds being displayed at the time of betting. Since, that is the odds that made the bettor place a bet on that event. I will talk to everyone who's betting on freebitco.in and see what they think of it.

Be careful to OP about the invitation by PM, some users might dislike it.

I have never heard of the word "Maharaja" actually.
Me too. I've never heard this word before and I had to Google it.
Sounds like the Indian word kingdom of Mahabharata.

Maybe you have to especially in this case to put his bet around the contest because isn't his fault

On freebitco.in when you place a bet, the expected payout is show under the box you enter the bet into.

Similarly, when a wager is won, there is a dialogue box showing how much your winnings are.

I'm away this weekend until Wednesday so I'll have to sort out the other screen shots when I get home.

P.S. to the OP, posts in games and rounds section aren't counted in some signature campaigns, so you may not draw as many competitors.

So yeah, you could screenshot the whole info. Including the odds etc. I will only count the bets that are posted on games and rounds thread. So, Timelord2067, You'd have to comply with the same. The bets posted in this thread prior to the start of the tournament, wouldn't be counted. The Screenshots in any case wouldnt meet the criteria for a meaningful post, be it in games and rounds or any other section. So, I don't think that's a major issue. When it comes to participation. Maybe keep the bets ready on imgur and just post the text lines with BB code on monday?. That would be great.

Good point. I'm looking into it right now. At the moment, I think the solution is to consider the estimated odds being displayed at the time of betting. Since, that is the odds that made the bettor place a bet on that event. I will talk to everyone who's betting on freebitco.in and see what they think of it.
Estimated odds on freebitcoin are based on the current amounts placed on the outcomes by the bettors and not on the likeliness of the outcomes to occur as for classical bookies. That means you can get estimated odds at 2.5 while on all other sportsbooks the odds for the same outcomes will be 1.5 for example. So it would be very easy for freebitcoin players to choose the overvalued "estimated odds".

It will ultimately even out, if you get the estimated odds at 2.5 while it is 1.5 on classical bookie, You deserve to be rewarded. generally speaking, such huge disparities are rare and any advantageous spot for a gambler is evened out by bettors(unless some huge bet is made on an underdog). I have registered on freebitco.in, just to see how it works. From what I have found up until now, for popular soccer matches, I have actually found worse odds on Freebitco.in for at least 2 out of 3 outcomes(if not all 3). So, I do not mind the screenshot posted with whatever odds one gets at the time of betting. It cant be too far off than the actual odds provided from other sportsbooks.

Don't care either way, but I believe only 100% fair solution to all parties would be to make all participants that are using betting sites like this to post second screen shot with actual winnings. More extra work I know and as you said it will probably even out in the end so maybe there is no need for it.

I am in, can't believe I almost missed this one.
Wow, I genuinely thought I invited you and hence I didn't try again. I might have to check on how I missed it. Anyways, You'll at least have a weeks time to register after the tournament commences.
Quite sure you missed me, but no matter I am here now Smiley I will register tomorrow just waiting for some multi tickets to finish so I can better choose the bank. I am betting in both ETH and BTC so have to see how much of either will there be left on site and pick one.

I think you just answered your own question.

Realistically, I could place 100 satoshi wagers on every thing paying over 100:1 and if one or two come up, then I've blitz the competition - no?

If your declared bankroll is 0.005 btc , 100 satoshi wager is only 0.02% of your bankroll and even if you managed to hit 100x with 100 satoshi wager that would be + 2% ROI for you.

Someone could have easily blitz through you with 5% of their bankroll bet at 2x betslip. Its much easier to hit a betslip with the odds range of 1.5-2.5x rather than 100x odds isnt it

I think this post post from Venalli pretty much sums it up. This ROI contest is pretty similar to Directbet's tipster championship if you are familiar with that contest

1)for 0.05mBTC bet(@5x) with bankroll 1mBTC,  Your gain would be 20% but lets say you have bet your whole bankroll(1mBTC) on that 5x and won. For your ROI, it would be considered as 5% of your current bankroll. Which would be 0.05mBTC.. and your ROI would still be considered the same 20%. ie. Your new bankroll for any future bets would be considered as 1.2mBTC in both cases.

Thank you Vennali. In this case could you explain me how will be applied this rule on sportsbooks precisely please?

Sportsbook
Primary sportsbook you will be using for the tournament. Remember, you can change your sportsbook any time, no questions asked.

Are we allowed to change our sportsbook for each bet? For example can I place 1 bet on Stake.com, then 1 bet on Freebitcoin, then 2 bets on Stake, then 1 bet on Freebitcoin and so on... ?
Do we need to do something before changing our sportsbook?

i think you can because i already ask the same question. Here the answer from Vennali

is it possible to change the sportsbooks provider in the middle of the competition?
Yes, changing sportsbook in the middle of the tournament isn't an issue at all. However, changing crypto isnt allowed. Your starting stack that you've put in, will remain unchanged.

There are only two days left, I hope there'll be enough interested participants for the competitive part to be strong. I also have a question about the competition thread for predictions: do we have it already or not yet? And also another thing: is 15th of March the day we start making predictions or the day the games should start? Since these are pre-match bets, can bets for 15th be placed in advance tomorrow or something like this? I'm okay with waiting till 15th, it's just a technical question about our options.
