Thank you for posting @pairmike.

In response to your query. One of the benefits of participating in contests is rewards.....the interest becomes limited when there is only one winner especially without being able to influence the win through merit.

Appreciate the opportunity to think on these things.

Illustration: @maarnio runs a contest...which while is is based on chance.....knowledge of the crypto market assists and at the same time depending on your choice there can be several winners. The odds are one out of three choice giving one at least a 30% chance of a win. Whilst the win is not much.....the fun is the thinking on the contest and suspence of the winning.

The better the odds of winning....perhaps the better the participation.

All the best. Cheers.
