Gennady the whale casino player from BlackJack.Fun? He will probably make 1,000 sports bets for mere fun with $3.00 each just to win $200?

I may need the names of the best gamblers in the forum to assist me.

xGennady...will be watching out for this lad we have been warned 

Round 2 could have a totally different layout of positions once sig payments go out as I didn't see some players participate for this reason and could be joining in RD2

Otherwise fingers crossed, hope to be on the podium if luck will be on my side.

Little Mouse, when will the next round start? Plus can we use multi-bets to qualify as long as the odds are more than 1.50? It will be counted as one bet, obviously.

Next round will be tougher than the first and already some big hitters have been spotted...no mentioning of names here lol

Little Mouse,  with the current high tx fees instead of spending $30-$80 per transaction is it not better to have the coins paid out in LTC to save  some $$$ and get tx confirmed faster...because at the moment the ordinals are doing more harm..

I agree with your suggestion (if possible) and it's more convenient for both sides in the future rounds since we don't know how long these high fees will last.

If the payment is using altcoins then the thread is not in line with the forum rules where the Games and Rounds board specializes in bitcoin rewards.
I think Little Mouse handles all the necessary fees or Sat/vB is minimized although I hate the long confirmation wait for blocks.

Yes the second round will be even tighter, I don't think this contest will have whales with large amounts of bets like you, but obviously at the end they take out all the betting ids which is quite a lot.

I need a lot of time to analyze the match.

You got a point, and I forgot about that rule since it rarely happens in the games and rounds section. Now that the fees are shifting down, we probably don't need to switch to altcoins.

Yep, it's him. I can't imagine the effort of posting a thousand bets in a single round, but it might be difficult to pull off once new rules are added.

Yeah very good to see the connections giving way and things are normalzing in the Bitcoin network,  we may have to remain with Bitcoin instead of altcoin for the contest,  I just came across this thread and I have taken a look and will be participating,,.

There is no need to shift the thread from this section to altcoin if things happens to go down as it has shown signs of,  let have some fun in here.

Hahaha. It's true, he's a top player in BlackJack.Fun by volume. He was consistent in the top 5 of the casino's weekly and monthly wagering tournament, and he probably has more free spins than anyone that he might be hurting "Diggy's hole". The users in their chat-box will know what I'm talking about.

Give us one name?

Lol will not hype the player here for their own privacy  ...

Any news of when are we likely to get the new round up and running as some nice football games are currently being played and  we missing out ??

And are the new rules of the contest already drafted , like no duplicate bets and hoping that 48 hour wait period to be scrapped off ??

Btw with the duplicate bets, if I pick say for example Barcelona to win @FT, can I bet on the corner market or card market of this game???

[Little Mouse]

And are the new rules of the contest already drafted , like no duplicate bets and hoping that 48 hour wait period to be scrapped off ??

1. No double bet on a single match.
2. Winning bets must be submitted by the deadline. No more 48 hours will be allowed.

Now the rules are even clearer.

I will wait for a new round for the next contest and play the capital back from this contest win.

Whoever celebrates and holidays now, please enjoy, I now just want to enjoy the near regional holidays.

[mirakal]

Thank you @Little Mouse , my winning has been received.

I saw your post and I think it's hinting that the possible next contest will be a multi bet?

Well, I would like to tell you that I found it interesting and definitely I would participate again. With a more refine rules, is it possible to launch the 2nd round this year, or we'll wait for next year?

[Woodie]

Rumour has it that the next contest could be an accumulator battle and just incase this happens we might not have the time to ask some of these questions and here is mine....

When it comes to duplicate bets, is it going to be possible to place a bet in the form of (A, X¹) and (C,X²) X representing a game with different markets that a player gets say Full time winner and other market being a handicap bet..will this count as a duplicate bet or both stand as a valid bet towards multi bet battle?

Otherwise whichever comes our way, am game to play either single bets contest or an accumulator battle

Not sure what to expect but competition sounds like fun so I am in too

[BABY SHOES]

Hooray the contest has started again

I'm trying to bet on LaLiga matches now not knowing the results later just trying to bet on it, unfortunately many leagues have a week off except Serie A which continues in the coming week.

Bundesliga, Premier League, LaLiga, French League are off.

Are there any other sports betting suggestions, honestly I prefer soccer betting that I know that even some European leagues.

There are a lots of other sports around. You can bet on that matches too.

How is it possible that I made five bets on NBA games with odds between 1.50 and 1.80, all the predicted favorites, and won only one of them?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm a sports-betting newbie as everyone can obviously see, but does betting on favorites and losing at such a high rate happen often in basketball?

I will pivot to Ice Hockey for the next stage of my sports-betting journey. Hahaha.

[mirakal]

10. Must have 10 winning bets to qualify for the prize above.

Are this 10 winning bets requirement only covered winnings from Jan 3 (contest start date) to the end of this contest?

That's the NBA regular season experience for you. Betting on slight favorites is sometimes similar to betting on a coin flip and can be a trap.

Earlier today, I got destroyed in the La Liga matches and went 1/3 on my bets, thinking every team could score a goal. 

Are there any other sports betting suggestions, honestly I prefer soccer betting that I know that even some European leagues.

If you want more soccer matches, I suggest testing the waters on the lower leagues (Championship, League One, Serie B, La Liga 2, etc.)

Bets placed after the topic posted and by January 10.

You and Gennady are very astonishing sports-bettors. Can you give us mere plebs some lessons? Hahaha. In merely three days, the both of you have won a combined 66 amount of sports-bets. If the bets were for $100.00 each, that would be more than $3,000.00, already accounting for the odds that are paying less for what you staked.

I have reached the minimum required of 10 for the contest with several open bets remaining, but I have more than ten losers just to reach it.

You are giving me too much credit
I am only working with a 12 points bank (12x5 USDT Level Stakes) which gives me at least 12 bets per day.
I try to be very selective with my selections and got very lucky but on friday I nearly lost my tiny 12 points bank where only 4 from my 14 selections won.
But I regret joining the competition it's too time consuming and it doesn't help that I am recording my bets like I always do
