Important Update

Hello everyone, you all heard about Directbet closing by now.
First I would like to say that it was a pleasure having them as our sponsors, since everything worked well from day one, and I really wish their team the best luck for the future!

Now regarding the competition, we will of course try to find us another sponsor to keep it going.
We will come back with more information as soon as possible, so stay tuned!

Glad to hear updates from you, I think this is the only other alternative to maintain this competition by finding new sponsors. But I still can not move on from directbet. Sad

(( One of the top (and revolutionary) bookie decide to close.
My personal greeting for non-scamming their customer in a situation like this. Btc community has see a too much scams (heavy scams!) when a site decide to close...

Yeah it's the end of an era. This is the second legit Bitcoin sportsbook I have seen close shop after the originator of all Bitcoin sportsbooks Bitbook went abruptly ofline. I think we will never know the real reasons behind this decision but my educated guess would be the rising transaction fees and long confirmations times which would put DirectBet's continuing profitable operation at risk. It's sad to see them go.

Just saw the directbet announcement, is this the end of this competition?
If so, I would like to say that it was great participating, in the competition and betting at directbet.
It really got me by surprise, because they were by far the best BTC sportsbook for me, and now I will have to find another one :/

Hello bitbollo, thank you for your suggestion.
The problem is like you already said, it is very hard to get into the Hall of Fame, so any small advantage, for those that are already there, will just make things even harder for those that are not.

We really wanted that being in the Hall of Fame, would be an incentive by itself, because it's hard, so it should give some credit to the tipsters that made it there.

Anyway, please feel free to make more suggestions. We still have plenty of time to get new ideas for the next edition!

I'm not sure about that idea. I understand the idea behind it, and I'm also there at 4th place, but I know that a lot of changes had happened during all these editions, and the number of players also got a lot bigger, so it's much harder now to get in top7, so I think It would get an unfair advantage, from other users that are just starting. I think being in the hall of fame should be a bonus by itself, because it's hard and make it there.

Thanks for your thought.
About "unfair" advantage: this could be a little bonus (like a +1% to actually +13% for each bet settled).
This will not make any substantial difference. Just a small incentive to a smart tipster to place more bets.
e.g playing with all 3 entries

Why not add a "%" for top tipster from hall of fame?
I mean it's really hard as you can see win or get a placement in a competition like this.

I think tipster that have already won a large number of placement (e.g top 5 on hall of fame)
could get a small advantage (+0,1-5% like +13% for each bet settled).
Because a good tipster not have a good series of wins, but there is a really talent behind these win...
What do you think? Could be a valid solution/easy to set up?

the fact you are in the second position probably makes you a little biased about your suggestion

maybe

yes maybe not, but a second place is not forever.
Note that just few tipster have won more than one placement despite they play competition each month.
Even this could be a small bonus just for rewards people on top positions Wink

I never reached paid places from the main contest, but I like this competition
I prefer the side contest though, because for me it's easier to get some prizes there. I always liked bounty prizes, maybe you could integrate that in the side contest, but I still don't know how.

What is the reason for the break, and the return when most leagues will be on vacancies Huh

Also any more changes planned?

Well most sports will go on break now as usual, so we decided to take a longer break. Waiting for August would be to much time, so a comeback on July seems like a good "middle option".

As for changes, we have no changes planned right now. We will have a longer discussion phase, so more time for you guys to offer suggestions.
Things seem to be working well right now, but we can of course take advantage of this longer break and try to get some good ideas for the next edition.

Well if they kept the regular schedule, the next competition would be on June, and on June there are no main football leagues as well, so it would be the same I guess.

Important Update

Hello everyone, the next Tipster Championship will take place in July.
We will be taking a longer break than usual to set it up, so that means more time for you guys to come up with suggestions and ideas for the next Tournament.

While you wait for the next competition to start, I challenge you to share your "Off Season" wins @DirectBet with us!

wow did not see this coming and JULY will be a tough month to play in Roll Eyes

Most football leagues will be on a break during that time not until the following month..
See Sports Calender here

SUGGESTION: why don't we have a fortnight mini league after every main competition to accommodate the main competition on its own slot.

July

Hallo can change it sir ?
- Odds min @2 and maks @100 Grin

- about ( 0.1 house credit ) ~~7000~~ loyalty point for withdraw change to 5000 loyalty point

7000 loyalty point so hard Cheesy

Hello Cacingkemi, thank you for your suggestion. Odds @2 to @100 would restrict the options of our bettors.
If you see the bets of Webcreator, the winner of our last competition are very varied, and we don't want that to stop. Users should be allowed to use any strategy they like, so we can't limit minimum odds.

As for the rollover, please remember that only the contribution prize has been changed, and the prizes from our side competition remain with the same ratio. We would like to keep it that way, because those are very different type of prizes now, and all prizes related to directly to your performance in the competition, should be more rewarding.

waw!!
It turns out we will rest longer than usual, I think it does not matter and gives me a chance to raise more capital than usual. Cheesy

"Off Season" whether this there is his a reward? Grin

There is no planed reward, since there is no competition going on while we wait for the next one, although the avatar idea sounds cool.

hehe I don't think there will be an "off season" rearward, since they never done it before, but since the period is longer this time, an "off season" avatar would be nice at least xD

Counting the days for the next competition! xD
