Tipsters must have published a minimum of 400 bets over the 12 months of the competition and a positive profit, as mentioned above, in order to become eligible to compete for a prize.
The betting units allowed depend on the odds of a given prediction. The table below explains what bets are allowed on particular odds ranges:
Odds < 2.5 Maximum stake allowed: 10 Units
2.5 ≤ Odds < 2.75 Maximum bet allowed: 9 Units
2.75 ≤ Odds < 3 Maximum bet allowed: 8 Units
3 ≤ Odds < 4 Maximum Bet: 7 Units
4 ≤ Odds < 5 Maximum Bet: 6 Units
5 ≤ Odds < 6 Maximum Bet allowed: 5 Units
6 ≤ Odds < 8 Maximum Bet allowed: 4 Units
8 ≤ Odds < 10 Maximum Bet allowed: 3 Units
10 ≤ Odds < 20 Maximum Bet: 2 Units
20 ≤ Odds < 50 Maximum Bet: 1 Units
50 ≤ Odds < 100 Maximum Bet allowed: 0.5 Units
Once a prediction is published, it cannot be modified.
In the event of a prediction dispute, the description of the prediction is final. Always make sure that the description of your prediction explains your thoughts correctly.
When prediction rules are disputed, the final decision is based on how the bookmaker, in this case Pinnacle.com, has settled the bet on its site. This means that if the bet is cancelled by the bookmaker, the bet on bet2invest is also cancelled.
Predictions must be made before the scheduled start of the event. Once the event has started, it is no longer possible to make predictions on the event.
Only one prediction is allowed per market on an event (Example: You can predict on the 1N2 only once, you can predict on the Over/Under only once, but you cannot predict several times on the 1N2 of the same event, or several times on the Over/Under of the same event).
Determining the winners
Your position in the rankings depends solely on your ROI (Return on Investment) and is calculated as follows:
When you make a prediction, you select a stake. (from 0.5 to 10 Units as described above)
If the prediction wins, the return is calculated as follows: Bet multiplied by the odds, minus The Bet
Example: A winning prediction with 5 Units of Stake on odds of 2.50 will yield 7.5 Units [(5 x 2.5) - 5].
If the prediction loses, the stake is withdrawn from your bankroll.
Example: A losing prediction with a Bet of 10 Units will result in a withdrawal of 10 Units.
As the competition cycle progresses, all predictions (positive and negative) are automatically calculated by our own tools.
At the end of the competition cycle, the final rankings will indicate who has won and who will receive the prizes. Predictors will be ranked from highest to lowest on the leaderboard according to ROI (Return on Investment), the number of predictions (at least 400 predictions), an average Maximum Average Bet (greater than or equal to at least $1,500) and a CLV of at least +2.8% (the punter's Closing Line Value must beat the average margin of Bookmaker Pinnacle, which is on average 2.7% (in closing odds) on football applicable to all sports in the competition).
Similarly, the artificial use of abnormal bets (example: 1 to 10U, or 10U to 1U etc) and contrary to good practice in sports betting will be punished by outright elimination.
In the unlikely event that two or more Oddsmakers finish the Contest with exactly the same ROI, the one with the best CLV (Closing Line Value) will win.
