The first week of our latest betting contest has come to close. And the winners are in…

The top 10 participants in this week’s contest will share 2000 USDT between them with the winner taking home a cool 1000 USDT.

First place this week was a busy bettor. We recorded 116 bets made and 71 winners that qualified for the contest. This meant the winning Azurian scored 20.76 points overall to take first place and the 1000 USDT prize. Congratulations to them and they have been contacted in the Discord.

Here’s a final look at the top 10, each of which will take home a USTD prize.

Things were busy! In fact so busy that we saw over 2,000 different wallets take part in the contest and over 30,000 bets placed. Huge!

Specifically there were 2,046 different wallets that entered, which made 32,259 bets in the contest.

The average bet placed was 16.9 USDT and the total USDT spent was 545,230 (all test USDT remember).

This was from a total of 40 events available to bet on, all football this week, and that meant there were 145 eligible markets.

  • Wallets: 2,046
  • Bets: 32,259
  • Events: 40
  • Markets: 145
  • Average bet: 16.9 USDT
  • Total USDT: 545, 230 USDT

A big thanks to all of those that got involved in the community. We saw substantial growth in Discord and on Twitter as news of the competition spread which was great to see.

We go again this week as we start week 2 of this #azuroSZN betting contest with more USDT prizes on offer plus NFTs for all winners as well.

Week 2 Betting Contest rules

Start time: Tuesday 22nd February 00:00 UTC
End time: Sunday 27th February 23:59 UTC

  • Only bets placed on football will count towards the leaderboard position this week.
  • Only bets placed on events starting after Tuesday 00:00 UTC will count towards this week’s competition.
  • Only one competition entry per person. Those found trying to cheat the system with multiple wallets or unusual betting activity will be banned

Competition General Rules

  • Betting competition weeks run weekly from Tuesday to Sunday.
  • Betting week start time: 00:00 UTC Tuesday
  • Betting week end time: 23:59 UTC Sunday.
  • Entrants to the betting competition will compete in a betting league-style with a leaderboard to show the most successful entrants.
  • Leaderboard resets weekly for each betting competition week.
  • Leaderboard snapshot will be taken at the end of the betting week.
  • Qualifying bets count if made on an event that starts after the betting week start time or starts before the betting week end time.
  • Leaderboard position is determined by your total points score based on the profit of your winning bets. For the purpose of this competition, all bets will count as a theoretical 1 USDT stake, meaning your profit on a single bet is calculated by multiplying 1x the odds of your bet. Note, doing it this way means the stake you bet with in testnet is irrelevant to your overall score. It is done this way so that participants do not gain advantages from differing USDT balances in future betting weeks.

Example 1: you win a bet at odds of 3.0. Your total points that go towards the competition will be 2 (the profit from your bet).

Example 2: you lose a bet at odds of 3.0. Your total points that go towards the competition will be -1.

Example 3: you win a bet at odds of 1.75. Your total points that go towards the competition will be 0.75.

  • Bets will be placed with testnet USDT. No real money will be staked.
  • Bets will only count on specific events that will be announced before the beginning of each betting competition week.
  • Players do not need to redeem their winnings for their bets to qualify for the leaderboard.
  • Only 30 places will be shown on the leaderboard. Users will still be able to see their league position outside of the top 30.
  • If more than 1 bet is placed on an outcome, only the first bet placed will count towards the betting contest.

What’s on this week

It’s another great week of football around Europe with the continuation of Round 16 of the Champions League plus 2nd legs of the Europa League play-offs.

Highlights include Chelsea v Lille and Juventus on Tuesday and Atletico Madrid v Man Utd and Benfica v Ajax on Wednesday.

There’s also Premier League action Thursday with a top 4 chasing clash between Arsenal and Wolves.

And don’t forget a full round of European league football on the weekend…plenty to get stuck into!

Good luck to all participants in this week’s betting contest and remember to jump into our Discord for all the latest updates.
