Thanks for letting me know about @greetersguild, I will surely have a look at it.

My personal interest has always been to see the sports betting community grow here on steemit. I regulary check new accounts who post in the sports related tags and even have my own little monthly curation going on.

Right now I don't think it's the best time to recommend steemit to anyone with the regisration taking ages and new members generally having a really hard time to get something going, so I'm writing a bunch of articles for the time when these things get fixed as a way to introduce outsiders to the platform aswel as welcome first time posters and give them some knowledge which should increase the 'success rate'.
