Question to organisers: Does your balance always include unsettled bets? ~

To be fully honest with you, I remembered this specific case one day while trying to sleep and then forgot to include it in the rules.
All unsettled bets will naturally count as remaining balance - meaning that if you have 20$ in the bank and 35$ in unsettled bets, most you can top up is 45$.

We don't really want to incentivize outrights - it is slow and boring
It is a part of a legit strategy though, if you're being careful with your balance and have a lot of unsettled bets near the end of the competition, you'll have a big edge.

Only thing that we really want to have but can't implement properly is live betting - so no live bets will be accepted. There is simply no way to work around the trust element.

Thanks, yeah that was what made the most sense, but that does take away a lot from group progress strategies I wanted to attempt (since I can't rebuy before they settle, I'll miss a chance to rebuy at that stage).

Hey, hey, it's not slow and boring, if it's not the only part of the strategy. Teams put out their subs late in games, some even make wholesale changes (basketball does this right?)... I can still play fast and furious with whatever I keep out of outrights. But yeah, I get it.

I just naturally play outrights in big tournaments, personally feel satisfied taking say, an 8/1 on a book when every competitor's got 6/1 or 7/1. Shame if I don't include them in a competition called Beat the Bookie

Absolutely. It's the same as trading though. There's a concept of time involved - if you freeze assets in a bet, you can't use them often.
It could be a blessing in disguise and we do expect a few guys focusing on outrights as well.

This concept is based on WC only - so naturally most of the focus is on quick bets due to the short time period.

Come on guys, I know there is nothing to do in this thread until World Cup actually starts...but I would still advise you to post your interest here. That gets your name in the op, and guarantees you the tag when things actually start.

Well guarantee me the tag (with the another acount in this one i didnt get any notification at all), about the post im just busy to post across the threads but i also feel like is not our completly fault since i still dont have the World Cup feel inside my body, is the first time in my life being this close to the world cup i dont have that excitement, but this is gonna appear for sure in just.... 1 week hahahaha.

Anyone here collecting the sticker album? Now i hear you can have a virtual one...... new times i dont like it i like the classic one on paper.

Trofo, Cryptofrka, count me in. I’d be a madman to miss the promo for the World Cup as well.
So, at any moment you can only have $100 on your balance, no matter if you win big on your ticket? And if I read it correctly, after each round you can rebuy.
What happens after the group stage when the playoffs start?

No, the idea is that you build up your balance. So, you start with 100$ and maximum you can top up to if you start losing is up to 100$ again.
But if you put 50$ and hit 10x odds, you have an additional 500$ to play with.

You can rebuy only if low on balance, you can't rebuy if you already have like 130$.

When the playoffs start it's basically the same - 1 playoff round counts like 1 group round.

Please tag me if I forget about this thread. All of the World Cup events this year are looking amazing. I'm aware that it isn't easy to prepare these organizations. Besides I'm going to have a great summer holiday thanks to you as I'm going to win all of these organizations.

So thanks to our sponsor Rainbet and you already now.

This competition is actually the most awaited event for me!
Initially I somehow thought the required bankroll would be way higher like 1K.
Anyway not sure why there is still not much interest, but there is of course still enough time.

All I know is that I won't be able to defend myself against huge accas and I also won't be able to snipe late goals which is my main bread and butter system.
But I still feel well prepared...................not to bust out in the first week

I have been dwelling about this competition from the moment you mentioned it and finally decided to join. So please count me in when you will be tagging people that have expressed their wish to participate.

I'm not a betting maniac like some of you folks here, but I also wasn't a sport maniac when I joined the BSFL and I still managed to win or draw all the rounds in the first season. Since this can be counted as the first season of the competition, maybe I will have the same luck like back then

There will be, we expected slow start here since there is nothing to do really before WC comes close. In other promo we have launched there are teams to assemble, rules to made clear and whatnot...Here it is super simple, come here and place bets I would prefer if more people already posted their interest since we don't like tagging blindly and I am sure many will forget the start without tag. And this type of competition can be entered late but will probably be much harder to climb the ranks from that position.

Coming here from invite from @buwaytress so I am going to ask my other teammate @BABY SHOES to come, since my sojumaster is already in here

I might have a bit of problems betting to the max but for sure I will join just for fun,,, I do not think it is possible to beat so many experts here,,, I think it might be a disadvantage for those who cannot watch to play live,,, but still will join in for the fun

Live bets are not allowed. It would be a big pain to check for all possible abuse and it would create a disadvantage for some time zones as you say. Only prematch and outrights, but be careful with outright bets since they will lock your balance for a long time and will not allow you to add more money since they will be counted as live money obviously.

I'll keep trying to stay in this pool, I need to build up my bankroll first... though I can't promise I'll work on it until it's liquid from a few contests first.

I may not be able to fight the mafia that is so good here, I think we should look for the safest odds that are important not to lose much... at this time have not seen the odds from the bookie kayak is available to see which favorite.

I see, now that I think about it, it wouldn't surprise me if we have record numbers here.
Somehow this competition reminds me of the Jackpot challenges from last year from our old BSFL sponsor....but this one is on steroids

If my memory serves me right from all the shared betslips I have seen here on Bitcointalk....it wouldn't surprise me if you, buwaytress and Slissy were right there in the mix until the end!
Already excited to check the different approaches

Great to know,,, and I am still curious to see the different strategies. I feel like I am familiar with how many people pick in BSFL but I am not familiar at all with how people bet other than some people like me always choose Tottenham, so World Cup I think it will be good to identify who is from what country

Outright bets hmmm I do not want to wait until end of final to see that I lost

Amazing! Team WPRA must stay together and even appear in World Cup bookie contest,,, but of course for sure do not feel pressured, I was just getting pulled in here and wanted to return the favor by pulling others in  

I think SAFE is the keyword here actually,,, Mafia like to invite us to play RISK
