★ The Lucky Bit Bet Count Prediction Promotion! ★

Hello again, Lucky Bit lovers! It's your dedicated community manager, stingleword, here with another game and a fresh pot of bitcoin to give away! I've been authorized to hand out 1BTC and I'm going to split it up to to two prizes. Remember the Millionth Bet Prediction game? Well, this is going to be something like that. Here's how it works:

• This promotion will run for two weeks only starting Monday, March 16, 00:00 UTC.
• Each week, the prize will start at 0.5BTC.
• All bet money received will be added to the prize.
• To win, you must guess how many bets will be placed during the week.
• The week starts at 00:00:00 UTC on Monday and ends at 23:59:59 on Sunday.
• The entry period opens for bets at 00:00:00 UTC on Monday and closes at 23:00:00 on Sunday.
• To place a bet, send 0.005BTC to the game address. Use a compatible wallet.
• Post your guess and the TXID of your bet here and await confirmation!
• The winner will be the player that guesses closest to the actual number of bets played during the week.
• If two people tied for closest, the person that entered earlier wins.


Limitations
• Lucky Bit administration and I cannot enter.
• Only one entry per week per Bitcoin Talk account.
• You must use a compatible wallet and send the entire 0.005BTC in a single transaction.
• Your post must be within the entry period and must include your transaction ID to be accepted.
• Your bet transaction must either be confirmed or high priority before the entry period ends. Don't skimp the fee.
• Blatant abuse of this promotion may result in its early termination and the prize not being awarded.
• By playing, you reserve the right to mock me mercilessly if/when I make an administrative mistake.

FAQ
Can I influence the bet count by playing on Lucky Bit after I bet here?
Yes, of course. That's half the fun.
If my guess gets passed early, can I bet again?
Nope. One bet per week per account.
How do you know where to send the prize?
I determine your address in the same manner Lucky Bit does when you send a bet to it.
What's a "compatible wallet"? What happens if I don't use one?
A compatible wallet is one where you control the private keys. Known examples of compatible wallets are blockchain.info, Mycelium, and Electrum. An incompatible wallet is one where a third party controls the keys, or a service that functions as a wallet in addition to some other service. Examples include exchanges such as Coinbase or Bitstamp, off-chain games such as PrimeDice or Betcoin, or shared wallets such as Xapo. If you use an incompatible wallet, your prize will become the property of your wallet's provider!
Why is there an entry period and a week?
Because the entry period closes an hour before the week ends.
I sent a small/large/wrong amount, can I get a refund?
No. That money is prize money now.
I didn't send enough to bet, can I send the difference to make my bet count?
No. Send the entire amount in one transaction.
I sent too much, can that still count as my bet?
Yes.
Can I get a refund on the difference?
No. That money is prize money now.
Does bets played mean total bets on Lucky Bit, or just valid ones?
Just valid ones.
Dude, you suck!
I bet you won't say that if you win.

You might want to wait to guess. There's a whole week ahead and a lot can happen!

[stingleword]

Fun fact! Tuesday saw a lot of heavy activity during the evening, netting the site a total of 7436 bets in one day.

Something to think about while you weigh your guesses. Cheers!

Wow! that makes me think my prediction will be 10k+ bets

[stingleword]

It's showtime!

Just under twelve hours until entries for this contest are closed! It's time to do whatever it is that you feel you need to do before you get involved - the clock is no longer your friend.

It would be a real travesty to give away this half a bitcoin to the only guy that guesses, so let's do this!

Today is Sunday, March 22, and the forum time is currently 15:37. That means you have just under seven and a half hours to enter for the first week's prize, which will be awarded shortly after 00:00 Monday. There are no entries yet because people are wisely waiting until as close to the closing time as possible, so their guess can account for the most recent information.

The number of bets displayed on the site is the total site history (since October 2013). Your guess should be the number of valid bets from 03/16 to 03/22 inclusive (or as close as possible). For reference, over 7000 bets were played on 03/17:

Fun fact! Tuesday saw a lot of heavy activity during the evening, netting the site a total of 7436 bets in one day.

So you might want to be looking at the 20k-60k range. There are tools available to browse the Lucky Bit history or directly query the Lucky Bit API for more information about recent bets; how you approach this game is up to you.
