Report | Sports Contests on Steemit October 2017

in #contest7 years ago (edited)

A Monthly Report with Sports Contests available on Steemit
Enter-to-win.jpg
Contest on steemit are popular as a way to get attention, grow a following or give back to the community. Many new ones were created in October with the start of the new NHL and NBA Season, but only a few look to have long term sustainable potential. I made another list with the most valuable ones. They are listed based on Expected Profit which is a rough estimate based on prize pool, number of contestants and probability of winning.

Thanks everyone who helps Steemit by hosting a Contest !

Do you host or know about other Sports Contests on Steemit ?

Let me know in the comments so I can add them in my next Report !

Thanks for the shout out. I look forward to making a comeback when more of these issues are resolved. The new design is cool but I'm still finding the same underlying problems. I'm cofident they will be hammered out now that the new design is lauched, I'm rambling. Thanks again for all the info in this piece, great stuff!

Great list, @costanza! Really appreciate you identifying a few that I was unaware of. Looking forward to your contest this weekend (if I can get my act together!) Cheers!

Thanks for this. Will check them all out 👍🏼

Thanks Constanta! Very useful for us sports fans!!

Thanks for these updates! Congrats on your wins! :)

Thanks for the mention!!!

Wow!! Thank you so much my new friend @costanza!!
And I'm happy you entered this weeks STEEMIT NFL PICK'EM!! Good luck!!
Following you & Resteeming!!

Hi Costanza,

As I told HERE, I love contests but stopped organize it, because I think that Steemit being saturated with sports contests, photo contests, meme contests...
I still continue to organise STEEMIT FREE LOTTERY, in which I firmly believe and in which I hope you all also believe.

Thanks for putting these all in one place.

Very useful list of Sports Contests @costanza but as in your previous month post, the information about my contests is not accourate. From the description to the further details that you list above, although i had bring to your attention commenting in your previous month post.
For example, if you check 2-3 of my contests you will see that the "1 winner" mention is not correct and usually the winners are much more depending on the contest type, same for the prize and the expected profit e.t.c that easily can be checked by anyone from the transfers that i do to the winners.
I run 1-2 regular Premier League Contests weekly and also Champions League, Europa League and World Cup Qualification Contests when such games exist. Furthermore there are 3-4 types of different contests that i post and have to do with the result the number of goals or both.

Thanks for the list that is useful anyway.

Sorry for late reply digitalking,
It's difficult to review your contests since there is no 1 format unlike all others.
I think I looked at 1 of them and based everything on that, you were also the last I did and I was quite tired wanted it to get over with. Let me know how you would fill it in and I'll adjust it.

Looking at your most recent contest, I must say that I keep having a problem with the 3 required upvotes while it could do with 1 upvote and just a reply of the match. Regardless my personal preference, it's always great to have more contests on Steemit! Keep it up !

Thank you for your reply @costanza. The max number of the upvotes in all my contests are one or two (third is optional in some contests). I will try to resume below my contest types :

  1. Match Prediction: 1 post vote and 1 selection vote. Usually many winners , shared 50% of the Author SBDs. https://steemit.com/contest/@digitalking/soccer-contest-premier-league-oct-28-manchester-united-tottenham - Very Easy
  2. Most Goals : 1 post vote and 1-2 selection votes (second optional). Usually many winners , shared 50% of the Author SBDs. https://steemit.com/contest/@digitalking/soccer-contest-champions-league-tuesday-october-31-most-goals - Easy
  3. Best Predictions (result AND goals) : 1 post vote. Usually few (1-2) winners shared 50% of the Author SBDs. https://steemit.com/contest/@digitalking/champions-league-wednesday-november-1st-best-predictions - Difficult
  4. Best Predictions (result OR goals) : 1 post vote. Usually a few winners shared 50% of the Author SBDs. https://steemit.com/contest/@digitalking/soccer-contest-world-cup-russia-2018-europe-best-predictions - Medium

Thanks for the chance to clear up.
