Steemit Sports Betting Curation May

05 Curation May.jpg


As a way to support the Sports Betting community here on Steemit, I am making a Monthly Curation List and will use 10%-20% of my daily voting power for auto-upvotes using Steemvoter.

When I first started this Monthly Curation List in February, the intention was to bring some initial sparks to create some kind of Sports Bettors group feeling here on Steemit and I wrote this:

Right now this is more something of an experiment similar to how I tried making an #upvotemybets tag a couple months ago which quickly ended up not working out. There is no guarantee this curation list idea will last or it may evolve in some kind of Steemit Sports Betting Group that gives each other support over time.

Fast forward 3 months and we now have the Official Steemit Betting Community ! The community really stepped it up in a way and at a pace I could not have imagined and it's not slowing down. The Discord Channel made by @beat-the-bookies sparked a lot of attention and pretty much united all Sports Bettors on Steemit and gave us an excellent way to unite. The @sbcbot Support Bot account was made and mostly funded by @stimp1024 has been up and running for a while and is giving support to 33 whitelisted members !
I intend to continue my Monthly Curation List to highlight and support some of the newer accounts that are Sports Betting focussed here on Steemit. Since I have limited resources while the list keeps growing, I will look a lot more at Community Engagement and overall Post Quality. (layout | record keeping | ...). I haven't payed too much attention to scout for newly created sports betting related accounts last month which will be something on my to do list for the next 30 days...

May Sports Betting Blogs


@stimp1024 is one of the good guys on Steemit ;-) He is one of the founders of the Steemit Betting Community and has been using his stake and influence on Steemit to really make a huge difference in the project. He is a Sports Betting enthusiast and is hosting multiple Daily Giveaway Contests on his Steemit Blog.

@fullcoverbetting joined Steemit with the intention to blog about Sports Betting but ended up blogging about other subjects because there was no real community on steemit around Sports Betting. He is very active socially on this platform and his name popped out on the top of the @abh12345 engagement league which was how I checked him out assuming he would be bettig related. With the creation of the SBC, he started doing Sports Betting related content and has been very active in the community Development. He is also hosting a SBC World Cup Contest which now has a massive 60 SBD Price Pool!

@numpypython has been on Steemit since April 2017 but only really started to publish great daily sports betting related content since the birth of the SBC and has also been giving a lot of Support to the community. Check his

April Winners


@sbcbot 125SP Lease
I'm adding 25SP to the 100SP I already leased out to the bot which is by far the most effective way to support the entire community

@beat-the-bookies 25 SP Lease
The main idea of giving out the initial 75SP lease was to make him able to enter the EPL Betting Contest and help him grow a bit faster since upvotes that are worth more tend to get bigger upvotes in return. His account has grown to a point where this bit of delegation no longer makes a difference and can be used more effective by the community bot.

I will be looking out to add more accounts to the list the next 30 days. Feel free to give me suggestions on who I should add in the comments! (please don't ask too directly to be on the list)

So awesome that we got someone like you helping the community. It's never easy starting something new but I think with your SP delegations and upvotes it has really made an impact. Now I feel like we're in full swing. Especially seeing how the the WC contest is going so far.

I think SBC may definitely turn into being the top Sports community on Steemit in some time with how active all our users are! Good luck with you Belgium league playoff bets today! I may sneak in a few picks when you post under live betting in the DISCORD <------- Members who want some live game pick tips :D

Thanks, we really have got something going here. Right now it's still a big learning experience and it's not always easy to draw clear lines. I'm looking forward to the time when signups dont' require 2+ weeks to get confirmed so we can start bringing some outside sports bettors to Steemit

Yeah that part is a little tricky. Do you think the masses of sports bettors are/would be interested in a platform like Steemit!? I mean I could see people wanting to join discord chats etc.. but hopefully with everything going on it'll attract them.

I really do believe this platform can be highly attractive maybe not for the masses but for most of the sports bettors that are allready posting things online (and there are a lot of those). The fact alone that they try to make money with something while steemit offers a way to earn something that is more guaranteed should be really appealing. There are also many guys like myself that are able to live from sports betting, but always have some dark clouds of potential downswing above their head. Steemit can be a great extra source of income for them in combination with betting.

A lot will depend on how this platform evolves, right now the gap in rewards between posting empty content and abusing the system vs actually putting some time and effort into it way too smal which is quite sad.

Yeah thats true. I mean I got started with contest too. So if they're good bettors and can essentially play for (free steem) in contest that's an incentive in itself. Then join communities like SBC along the way it'd be perfect for them!

Yeah thats crazy I'm still trying to learn from all your blogs and info you give on discord to try and actually make a passive income from it, and play with an edge.

Yeah I agree..its sad but we have such little impact on that. Unless one becomes a witness and invests lots of money and has more of an impact/say.

Great thing to do @costanza
You are rocking! Thanks for the confidence and mention!
Lets grow this community
Thx for your ongoing support!

Keep up the good work, betting community is gradually growing on steemit .

Thanks for your support and including me on the list @costanza. Appreciate all that you're doing for the sports betting community here on Steemit.

You couldn't pick more deserving guys to feature in this month's curation report.

  • @stimp1024 with his support has put us on the map and enabled us to grow fast and do some fine things.

  • @fullcoverbetting is the most active steemian that I'm aware of. He's been our ambassador for quite some time.

  • @numpypython is our secret weapon. Don't talk about him in public 😃

Thank you guys!
