🏆The Maharaja of Bitcointalk🏆 Sports bets Tournament by Sportbet.one

[cryptofrka]

Sounds interesting, we will be posting our bets here? I assume we will be adding screenshots and am curious how will we be handling live bets?

Are they even allowed? I feel they can be manipulated but I hope we won't have to deal with people trying to cheat their way to the top.

There will be another thread in games and rounds section later for everyone to post their bets

and am curious how will we be handling live bets?

Only pre live bets will be allowed. Im not really sure why, personally I dont see anything wrong with live bets. Its pretty risky to bet on live bets sometimes and the odds might not be decent enough to risk high amount

Where do we post the bets?
I am interested.

On another thread in games and rounds section later on after the competition 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.

As long as it starts on 15th March and latter that should be fine according to this quoted post. For references of this reply, please refer to @Timelord's post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5321499.msg56543855#msg56543855

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 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.

Sorry VennaliEntebah but that doesn't reply precisely to my question...  I 'm not talking about changing one time my sportsbook in the middle of the competition, I'm basically talking about playing with 2 sportsbooks at the same time. Is it allowed?

I really didn't think my start very well. I'm away until Wednesday and may not be able to get the necessary screenshots before the comps have occurred. Nevertheless, I'm in hook-or-crook.

I believe you can.
Obviously you want the best odds possible for your selection so I don't see a problem if you place bets on more than one bookie.

[kworrom]

Excited for this to start tomorrow. How many people do we have so far signed up?

No issue at all. You can change your sportsbook whenever you want.

I really didn't think my start very well. I'm away until Wednesday and may not be able to get the necessary screenshots before the comps have occurred. Nevertheless, I'm in hook-or-crook.

Its okay mate! It is a month long tournament. You do not have to bet everyday. Long way to go.

Excited for this to start tomorrow. How many people do we have so far signed up?

At the moment, We have 17 participants. On top of it, there are at least 5-7 people who are interested in the tournament but are waiting to see how it starts, so that they can decide in a few days. Registrations are still Open. I will share the spreadsheet in a few hours(making a new one for easier understanding).

TYVM Vennali I hope we will be enough to allow you to launch the contest. It will start tomorrow if all is OK, right? Do you already know at what time we will be able to place valid bets for the contest?

Edit :

- Tournament starts at midnight 15th March GMT.

By midnight you mean 0:00 or 24:00 ?

Contestants stats sheet linked in the OP. I will add participants to the stats page as they start posting their bets on games and rounds thread.

BTC, ETH or EOS)

are these the only accepted coins, and what of the bookies that convert crypto to fiat equivalence how do you calculate that

prize pool to be $600

is Sportbet.one the sponsor of this competition or there is an entry fee?

This reminds me of the directbet days, the good times 

[vennali]

No, that was just for prizepool info and in which crypto it could be paid out in.

Yes, Sportbet.one are sponsoring the tournament. It is free to enter and you can use any sportsbook you like. However, to enter the bonus prizepool($100). You will need to make at least 10 bets on sportbet.one.

This reminds me of the directbet days, the good times 

Yep, I guess the major difference is in that tournament, you could only bet on directbet where as, in this tourney, you have the luxury to bet anywhere you like.

[icopress]

Just to clarify ... what if the starting bankroll is in dollars? And second, are multi bets quoted?  Let's say a multi bet on three matches, will such a bet be counted as one or as three? (an example is posted below).

~snip~

As long as its a crypto accepting sportsbook, I'll accept it. Yes, parlays are allowed in the contest and it will be considered as 1 bet. If any of the games in your parlay loses, you lose your be.

On Sportbet.one you can play with Bitcoin, EOS, SBet and USDT. You can deposit via Wire transfer, Credit card and other payment methods via 3rd party. See if you plan to bet with any of the following, if not. Just stick with your website for now.

[hahay]

Wow, a competition with a system like this reminds me of the tournaments that were run on Directbet in the past. Anyway, it's a really interesting tournament but I wonder, is it really going to go without sponsors? considering that we are free to use any sportsbook available and only provide proof of screenshots or Bet ID, it makes me refrain from participating because I think it would be better if participants only use the same sportsbook but yes, I'm just not used to maybe will monitor the progress fore first.
Good luck to all!

Yes, to think of it, it has some similarities to the directbet tournament long ago but a major difference here is that, it was a sportsbook specific tournament. Which was for directbet users only. Where as, I'm trying to include any and every sportsbook that a participant prefers. There is a sponsor and there is a bonus available for making min. 15 bets on sponsored sportsbook. I'll update the information and sponsor when the tournament is about to commence. May I know why you prefer a sportsbook specific tournament to the tournament I've created? It's interesting to figure out the pros and cons of each of them.

Because I guess, if it was a sportsbook tournament then the challenges would probably be more equal or something like that.

By the way, after I found out that this tournament had sponsors, I immediately created an account there and then registered for this tournament.
Glad to be part of this tournament, will soon make the first bet.

Good luck all!

[LTU_btc]

Can I still join? I never played in such tournament before, so I wanted to see how it works and later I completely forgot about it.

[ralle14]

How does one change their betting sponsor in the middle of the competition? I just found out about the tournament being sponsored by sportbet.one so i'll change mine later.

Do I need to submit another form to confirm the change? or maybe send a pm ?

Yes, sure! It is still open. Register by filling in the google forms and the post your bets on games and rounds thread. You are good to go! Its been just 2 days since the tourney started. A total of 60 bets have already been placed by all of contestants but since it is a month long tournament, long long way to go.

Since you haven't placed a bet as of yet, just fill the form again. I'll delete your previous entry. PM not necessary unless you want to share any additional info. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

[slaman29]

Thank you also for the invite, I also got another notification about it last week sorry for lateness. Rules are not very very clear, but I will give it a go anyway and have also registered and will start late by posting some bets today;)

I see a lot of posters already but I will try anyway!
