Is it still open? Looks fun. I do better than average in terms of betting. Maybe I can just use this tourney to find out my ROI for a month. Does it have to be 20? can you lower it please? I'm sure I can make 20 bets in a month but would be easier if I had no pressure of betting almost everyday on me. So I can just play it safe. No min odds is good. What about parlays? are they allowed?

Yes it is still open and gearing up to start from 15th March. At the moment, I have calculated min. 20 bets should be good to iron out the graph of luck vs skill. Some luck does help but here we are mostly looking at the skill of the participants when it comes to sports predictions. Parlays are allowed as long as all the matches in the parlay start after you have posted the screenshot on the forum. Maybe just register for now and see how it goes. 2 bets in 3 days on average isnt too high to be honest. Some people have even asked what if we make 20 bets in 1-2 days haha. Which is fine too. Good luck and have fun.

I have a technical question: is this the competition thread or just a thread for discussion? I'm asking because the details and many questions were already discussed in another thread, but you've mentioned there that you'd soon create the thread where we're going to post our screenshots. Is this the one?
It also seems to me that the starting date has shifted, is that true? I thought we were starting tomorrow, but I can now see you're saying it's 15th of March.

Had created this thread so that the contestants can discuss the competition here. I had to delay the tournament by 1 week since the no. of participants registered was very underwhelming. I will take this extra week to invite more participants and hopefully we have a healthy number before the start of the tournament.

Regarding if this is the place to post screenshots? No, I will create a thread on games and rounds for that. Which would be apt for sharing screenshots.

Updated banner! The winner gets high quality banner and avatar.

Banner and avatar is good and all but considering that there will be users that are doing campaign signatures, I think that the banner and avatar will not be the best of them all, maybe if you can persuade campaign managers to have the winner wear the banner and avatar without being in conflict with the campaign that they are participating, I think that it can work. I wanted to join but I haven't done betting in a long while and I want to stay that way, anyways good luck with your tournament and hopefully a lot of users are going to join this, 600 USD is a lot of money.

I mean, Lets say you win a tennis(or whatever sport you like) tournament. Do you take your trophy to every place you go? Probably no is the answer. You can keep it as memorabilia. There are a lot of tipsters on the forum. They could use it on their threads for display. Anyways, not everyone is here on the forum for signature campaigns. If you take more pride in being the best at a tournament(which you should), then might as well  display it as your avatar.

The contest is delayed because like vennali said there was not as much response as anticipated and I hope a lot of players will take part in this contest because its free to enter and I guess the only reason why not many participants are joining is because they don't know about this one. Now since this is being discussed in the Gambling Discussion section, which I believe is the best and most active section of the forum, a lot of players should get to know and eventually join the contest.

I was of the opinion that "King of Bitcointalk" was a better title but I have no problems with the other one too. Thanks vennali for holding this contest and I wish there are some sponsors who can help you out with this one.

I wasnt really surprised to see the low number of participants. Lots of accounts in gambling / gambling discussion are not gamblers at all. The number of actual gamblers in this section is pretty low and not to mention those small number of gamblers have their own preferences. Most will choose slots, dice and stuff ( pure luck gambling ) , some others are probably going for poker and the rest would be sportsbetting


@Vennali : Whats with the double thread ? You might want to move the main thread in gambling section into this sub section after the competition roll for everyone to discuss about this because that thread seems to be getting alot more attention

Also it would be great if you could list spreadsheet with all registered players in it, as well as their bankroll and site preferences.

The thread in Gambling section was to be used as an announcement for the tournament as it is the appropriate section for it. While this thread was created so that the contestants and others who might be interested could discuss and ask questions regarding the tournament as well as the sports they bet on. Which may not be appropriate on the other thread to discuss. There will be 3rd thread that will be posted in games and rounds, which would be the appropriate place to share screenshots for the tournament. This thread was also created with the intention to attract more sports bettors on the forum who otherwise might not have looked into the gambling board (which was suggested by a few people).

I will share the spreadsheet when the tournament gets rolling. Feel free to discuss about it here.

The numbers are slowly growing and the tournament will start whatever be the number on 15th March. However, I have noticed that there are a few bettors who are interested but would like to observe how the tournament will function for a few days to form strategy, or just the management, learning of the rules aspect. For them, the tournament registration will be open at least  a week after the commencement of the tournament. So, they still have a chance to register, the drawback for them being having lesser days and events to bet on as the days go by.

As discussed before, by me, haha, this tourney doesn't really seem to benefit my particular style of betting (I go long odds, and have a low win percentage) but nevertheless, am going to flex my muscles;) Check out my first entry -- just one question, vennali: we shouldn't edit to add new betslips though, right? Just make new posts? I'd rather not spam... but maybe some slips entered after first one settle?

Screenshots should show pre-live though, so no issue to edit right?

Games and Rounds is probably the only section on the forum where spam should be okay. I don't want contestants to edit their bets because there's a possibility of removing, adding a bet while the game is in favor of a contestants bet. I'll give you an example. Let's say you bet on Rockets vs Celtics and 76ers vs Spurs. You bet on 76ers vs Spurs pre match and posted the bet while you also bet on celtics -11 vs rockets but didnt post the bet because you wanted a competitive edge and see how the first quarter started. Lets say Boston started great and and are up 5 point in the first quarter itself. Now, you are like "Hey! my bet will most likely win. Let me just edit the bet and add Boston's game as well" since you bet on it pre-match. Later you can cover up the editing by adding another game so that it looks like youve edited your post for a new bet.   

Hope that makes sense. Will try to rephrase it otherwise. For better understanding.

I just registered my interest to participate in the competition. I'll be waiting for the competition to officially kick off (if it hasn't already). This would be my first tipster competition and I'm looking to compete actively for the prize and hopefully get to win not just my bets but the prize too. Let's see how it goes. This should be fun.

Good luck to everyone else who is also participating.

[kworrom]

It looks like among entries there is a consensus around Liverpool to win or draw today against Wolverhampton. Maybe if the match starts slow and scoreless then the odds for Liverpool ah+0 (draw no bet) will go up and be a good live betting opportunity. https://www.flashscore.com/match/fm1YgaAs/#match-summary

hehe Nelson, IMO if you want to win you should read the rules first (or another time), because I'm not sure you are very aware of them if you are still waiting for the kick off  Anyway good luck to you bro, it won't be easy

Yeah, most of the bets on day 1 were for Liverpool vs Wolves. Liverpool have been underperforming at home but have been in good form away(surprising) and it worked out for them once again. I wanted to bet on Liverpool to win but was a bit scared of it since Wolves are a good team as well.

Good luck to you too! The competition has kicked off and I was pleasantly surprised by the amounts of bets made on day 1.

Yep, it will not be easy to win since there is some strong competition. I do hope more people join in though making it even stronger.

Also regarding the spreadsheets. Do let me know if there's any more info that you'd like to know. There are 19 registrants for the tournament but I have created a new sheet(which is shared with everyone) that I'm adding them after a registrant shares a screenshot on games and rounds. So far, 9 contestants have placed bets on day 1, which have been updated.

Hi, vennali!

Thank you!
