Bookmaker/dsi streak contest

[sourtwist]

Thanks to Fowler and the Cubs scoring three in the ninth today, I just hit my 12th in a row which started on April 1st. Most of my other picks were pretty decisive, but this one made me sweat a bit. Already got a few free plays from the contest and one win away from another. Any of you ever get close to 21 in a row for 25k?

[El Nino]

Just ran a streak of 5, missed one, then a streak of 6 right after. 11/12 is best I've done.

[jjgold]

Good luck sourball I hope you get to that level and cash to 25,000

[The Giant]

Ouch, that one hurt. I'm not a fan of bigbill

[Russian Rocket]

Hats off to Twister for the job well done!

Best of luck the rest of the way bud

[sourtwist]

Thanks Mr. Rocket.

[sourtwist]

Can't pull the trigger today. 13 in a row is a 500 free play, and only 8 from the main goal. Hope I make the right choice because the games they offer on a daily basis are very limited.

[downsouth]

I've made it to 3 a couple times

When a couple streaks get bigger they make it alot tougher. theyll limit the games. you truly have to be very good in order to win this contest which is why i like it, its more then just fluke luck like espn streak is

[goduke]

im at 10 so take a couple days off so i can catch up and pass you

[sourtwist]

Lol, you're at 10 in a row, and 10 for monthly leaderboard?

[oneunder]

Sour,

Regarding the DSI "monthly wins leaderboard" which pays $1,000 if you have the best record for a calendar month (which you are leading at 12-0):

Don't play totals that can result in a push ( 7,8,9 etc ) ... a push is the same as a loss in their scoring.
A push doesn't stop a streak (like you're chasing)...it only hurts in the monthly.

Best of luck.

[sourtwist]

Thanks very much for the advice, makes sense. I appreciate it.

sorry to hijack this cool thread, but i wonder if anyone could confirm the prize eligibility.

1. On March 12, I placed a real money bet of $100+ to gain eligibility for the full prize.
2. On April 4, I started my winning streak and reached 5.
3. Received only 10% of the prize

now the rule says:
IMPORTANT: betcris.com's Streak Challenge is free to enter, however contestants must have an active betcris.com betting account to collect the full prize amount. An ACTIVE betting account is defined as having wagered at least $100 no more than 30 days prior to the start of the winning streak. Otherwise, winning contestants will receive 10% of the listed prize amount.

The support says that 'I am NOT ACTIVE' and therefore not eligible.

Is it so?

[DiggityDaggityDo]

I'm rooting for you, Sourball.

A couple questions....
1. Was the 100 dollar bet you made to win at least 100. Because BetCris normally takes the smaller of the two in regards to how much the bet was and how much it wins. So if you bet 100 and took a large moneyline then I bet you wont be eligible
2. You need to make sure you are eligible for loyalty points/bet points. If you arent then you also wont be eligible for the contest.

If both those factors check out then you should be eligible and you should check again with support.

[playersonly69]

Yes you cant bet a -2000 favorite $100 to win $5 and have that count.



We have a poster here who on 16 games at 5Dimes earlier this year. He won a $2000 freeplay at 15 wins and a $500 freeplay at 10 wins.



Sourtwist, you are active at bookmaker right

I'm active at bookmaker and honestly i would check the things I said. 5 dimes and bookmaker are different. With their rollovers they take the lessor of the bet and win and I bet the same applies for the 100 on this contest. It has to be one of the things I said or a mistake. Theres no other reason

1. i think this may be the cause? i bet 70 pounds to win 63.64 pounds (that's about USD 98-99) unreal

[sourtwist]

I'm active at dsi... I was already paid a 25 FP and a 100 FP. I just hit my 13th and will be expecting a 500 FP tomorrow. The next prize is 17, then 21 for 25k.

I'm not sure how #1 from goduke's post could be the cause here, when it's clearly stated in the fine print that you've posted here, that you ONLY have to wager that amount - not wager and win.
On Mar 12th Pound closed at 1.4884 against the Dollar...so your 70 pound wager should put you at a little over 104 dollars.

[Art Vandelay]

Be careful with contest winnings at DSI. They have very high rollovers and don't release any portion until you complete the entire amount, unlike some books.

This has been resolved in my favor. Their system registered 70GBP as 70USD. On to the 7th pick now. Good luck, everyone!

[sourtwist]

500 FP with 3x rollover.

Now I just have to figure out how to turn it into real money

Do you get to keep the stake from winning bets?
