[BABY SHOES]

Have a few suggestions about this contest.

How about a smaller minimum bet? Like Shuffle used to be with a $3 minimum bet?

So for me it's not so hard and can make a lot of bets if the bet is bigger, if the minimum is $10 then 10 bets should be able to spend $100.

For the contest prize.
1st place - Cash
2nd place - Cash

3rd place - Freebet
4th place - Freebet
5th place - Freebet

Of course I'd like to hear from other participants.

Definitely interested,  let me look at the sportsbook to plan ahead  

@BABY SHOES that's a valid suggestion,  if we want more players to join this one you need to lower minimum bet amount.

Btw, what's the format of posting the 10+ betslips, is that user ID and bet ID, or we have to include a screenshot of the betslip itself,  sorry can't remember how this was done for past competitions.

I also support BABY SHOES' suggestion about the bet amount of the contest. $10 per bet is doable for most gamblers, but at the same time, it only takes a few losses to discourage the participants and put them out of the competition.

I don't mind the prizes being free bets for now, maybe if this contest becomes a success, all five rewards will be upgraded to cash prizes in the next round.

I'll start my attempt later today, and hopefully, my $10 deposit is lucky enough to last for at least 10 bets.

@LittleMouse would an accumulator with small odds less than the 1.5 odds  be counted as valid provided the multiplier gets over the minimum of 1.5 odds ??

And in general are accumulators (parlay bets ) allowed or this is restricted to single bets?

[Ammar M. A.]

I don't agree with that, because the contest is already underway, maybe suggestions like this can only be applied in subsequent rounds.

I'm discussing the possibilities with the team for changing the prize as cash, lowering the minimum bet.

No screenshot needed. Your bet id is fine.

No. Thanks for reminding me of this.
If we get some good number of users then we will consider running competition with multi bets.

[Ammar M. A.]

And will that apply to the current contest?

That would be bad news for me, except that my 1 $10 betting slip would count as 3 entries. Try to be fairer, implement it in the next contest, not the current one where there are already people following the initial rules.

Of course it's for future round if any. This round will be continued as it is.

Well, I am ok with a $10 minimum bet... and a minimum of 10 winning bets for qualification is also fine, but what happens when the first two (or more) participants have the same number of winning bets? How will the winner be chosen then? I have looked several times but haven't noticed anything about it...

The cash prizes are always better, it would be nice if that could change.

Interesting competition, today is a good day to start... the selection of games is great. Good luck to everyone.

Look at the competition thread, it's even just me and @Woodie, I don't think we'll have the same number of wins there because it's hard to get qualified, I've spent a lot of money just on that competition alone. If there really is the same number of winning slips, I think the difference should be the total number of odds received, the higher the odds, meaning the bettor has more risk, he deserves to be the winner if there's the same number of winning slips.

Don't just get to a situation where winner has to be decided by number of bets...let's play to win not create confusion for something simple 

If I was the campaign manager, maybe first person to post the winning betslips wins or share first and second position equally among the tied members,  if it's 3 users the share the three positions and share the prize..but wait this is a freebwt so I guess formula is different 

[ralle14]

I just posted my entries earlier today. Initially, I was unsure whether to post my bets because I was still far from my 10th winning bet, and my bad luck only made the contest even harder as I lost the next 4/5 bets.

I'll give it another shot since we have the Champions League later today. I better finish what i've started and hope no one pushes me out of the running in the last few days.

Rules say to qualify one needs to have 10 winning bets, so I think it just makes more sense that the first person to have got to this and posted on the thread should be the person to take first place!

And it just makes sense to do it this way. And besides it's a freebet you can't be sharing this

The cash prizes are always better, it would be nice if that could change.

Cash is king indeed!

Little mouse said he will be engaging the Betpanda team on this and we hoping to be getting an update on this.

Btw with this freebet, does it have any wagering requirements and will it be returned should you win ?? For example you have a $10 freebet, if one wagers on a 1.5 odd game, do you get $15 or $5 when it wins ??


Might lose my betpanda deposit for using wrong #blockchain f%!%@ . Worst crypto Valentines.

I'm not sure I like the "race" to 10 winning bets... but again BetPanda & LM will have the last words about it.

This is just the beginning so we'll see how this first week goes and what would be good to change/improve/or maybe remove.

Sorry for your issue, I also had a few mistakes with choosing the wrong chains, but I was lucky and it was resolved positively.

Well, I have 7 wins for now... I hope I will reach 10 today, we have nice games later.

[Woodie]

Same sportsbook 

Am now feeling like I got hit by a train and btw I have seen these incidents around the forum and the internet with regards to wrong chain used and usually they get sorted out with manual intervention,  but to be told I should talk to wallet provider was a slap in the face for me..Anyway don't want to make noise about it, and will stay on topic with regards to the competition.

Any positive news on future prizes of the competition.

I've tried a free bet from this same provider (different sportsbook) so it should be the same with most free bets and only get the winnings once it's settled.

Even though the results aren't announced yet, I want to say advance congrats on bagging first place as you're the only one who posted at least 30 winning bets.

I figured that will be the likely outcome but we wait for the experience.

Lol

But 30 bets is not much and I think the freebet is also a 50 50 thing, you can either walkaway with a prize or not..if they get to change prizes to cash prizes am more than certain we can see 50+ slips per user and if minimum wager drops to $5 or $3 then we get to see 100+ wagers as the benchmark to win the tournament.

But still we wait for LM to guide or tell us if prize structure changes.

That's a fair point, I remember wasting a lot of free bets both big and small before landing a decent win with odds of 2.00 or higher as that's the recommended way to do it.

I agree it's not much if you're hedging each bet to get more winning slips before burning the entire $10 from your bankroll. I did mine the regular way, thankfully I still broke even through all of it.
