Contrats dimi, inspiring picks from your side. Thumbs up!
The prize will be in your registered 188bet account next week - if you joined this bookmaker through Betscout.com.

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, i opened by the companies list at betscout for the contest. The 188bet was on the list and I wonder why it was created a problem with my account. ps: The prize will be as free bets or money?

Hi, congrats to the winners, especially ledrino with his lucky pick ;) I was wondering, do i have to create a new bookmaker account for September contest, or can i use the old one i created last month?
Posted 01/09/2011 13:02 by dinamo
Thanks for organizing the competition.I opened(BetBoo) the account through betscout .
Posted 01/09/2011 14:51 by taboof
I just have to ask something you guys. I have an account on several bookmakers, but I registered a long time ago before I even heard about this site. I would like to make an account via Betscout, but other bookmakers that i did not visit are not so good. Can you tell me what to do?
Posted 01/09/2011 14:56 by taboof
Once again, you guys rock, but I just dont understand also why can't I visit some bookmaker before I make an account there via betscout?
Posted 01/09/2011 19:17 by Mike
Sounds great guys. I'm sure the accounts were created via betscout and you will get the winnings next week.
Regarding the new account for the next contest: Yes, it must be a NEW account created via Betscout links. If you have visited the bookmaker before, you must simply delete your cookies in your browser (Internet options) before visiting the bookie through Betscout to join to the bookie.
@taboof - We have 76 bookmakers, so surely there are some of them which you have not joined yet? Something like bet3000 or 188bet maybe? Great odds and fast payments, but it doesn't have to be your favorite bookmaker :) You can see them all here: http://www.betscout.com/page/s/88
Posted 02/09/2011 10:04 by taboof
We have already been in September 2. like 12 hours, when the contest is gonna start!? lol this betscout is addiction :D
Posted 02/09/2011 11:32 by asger
Hehe, the contest is live now ;) Good luck!

Hi asger, need your urgent help. As I was signing up for the Sep contest, I was keying in my new 10Bet account name but because of my iPhone auto text prediction function, it went through as 'dealing' instead of 'delong'. Can help to reset my sign up since I did not make any picks after the wrong sign-up? I tried to key in '10Bet - delong' again but it brought me to a page showing I had already signed up for the contest ( with the wrong bookmaker username)
Posted 03/09/2011 14:40 by asger
Hi, your entry says '10bet - delong'. So that's correct right?
Posted 03/09/2011 15:01 by delong
Hi asger, yes that's right. But after I entered that and clicked Join Contest, I was directed to a page to enter my Betscout username again and Bet365 username when I did not even sign up for Bet365. So is it considered that I am already in the Sep contest and can ignore the redirected page?
Posted 03/09/2011 15:38 by delong
Just to give more details..when I saw the wrong username 'dealing' processed, I immediately clicked cancel and resubmitted using the correct '10bet-delong' but not sure if '10bet-dealing' had already gone through. On hindsight, since what you saw was '10bet-delong', I guess it should be correct. But just puzzled why was I directed to key in my usernames for (1)Betscout and (2)Bet365 when I did not sign up for Bet365. I guess I will just proceed to place my bets then.. unless you advise otherwise :) Perhaps if I really do win, maybe you can help to confirm that the winnings are credited to userrname 'delong' in 10bet and not to 'dealing' :P
Posted 03/09/2011 16:44 by asger
Oh, I know now. You landed on http://www.betscout.com/contest/join/14 for some reason. But yes, just ignore that page. It's the same form and functionality, but 'Bet365 username' is just text from an old contest, since people don't see this subpage no more. Normally :)
10bet - delong will be credited if you win yes ;)
Posted 03/09/2011 16:46 by asger
..and yes. You are in the contest.
Posted 03/09/2011 17:15 by delong
Thanks for the confirmation asger :)
Posted 04/09/2011 06:25 by delong
I wish to give a feedback that if there is server downtime and the website cannot be accessed at certain times, could there be a notification to all members in advance? This is because sometimes members may wish to place bets just before the start of the game but due to website down, they do not have a chance to do so. Once the website is up again, the match has already started.
Posted 04/09/2011 13:14 by taboof
you fckn cheaters, why im not online when they put 12.00 odd on home and 13.00 on away lol
Posted 04/09/2011 13:36 by asger
@ delong - each day around 5am GMT there is a short downtime, while the site updates. Other than that, there should be no downtime. When did the site not work for you?
@ taboof - What match are you referring to? We can always correct odds-errors and don't want no cheating.
Posted 04/09/2011 14:40 by delong
Hi asger, I could not access Betscout from 12:30 noon to 2:30 pm (GMT+8) using my netbook or iphone.
Posted 04/09/2011 18:22 by taboof
i think on this game, its clearly an error of sportingbet but im mad for not being here when that happened... Am. Football » USA » NCAAF Game start 03/09/2011 17:00:00 By fable1979 Stake: 100 Odds (Sportingbet): 11.00 Score: 42 - 38 Profit: 1000
Posted 04/09/2011 18:55 by betnoob
You should make some odds checker, like some difference between the min and the max odd, and if its to high, remove it. I noticed that there are often wrong odds, like taboof said, and nobody said anything because we all toke those wrong odds at least once, and are pissed if they missed to take it... like taboof :) and me. But that is not ok, i didnt said anything but before but i will report them from now on.
Posted 04/09/2011 22:18 by asger
Yea, it's mainly a Sportingbet error. I'm reporting this issue, but there will always be errors with millions of odds.
We are actually working on a feature like the one you're mentioning betnoob. Mainly for finding valuebets, but I can see we need to integrate a feature to locate and report these odds with too big a difference. Not right around the corner tho..
I have deleted a bunch of these odds now, so some have been hurt by this. I think it got all the errors, but will check more over the next week + keep an eye out for errors.
So people please don't take odds that are clearly errors.. Picks on these odds will be deleted, so it wont help you anyway. Just more work for me, although I'm happy to find these errors :)
Posted 05/09/2011 17:51 by betnoob
asger, i noticed a bunch of errors today. All basketball over were wrong today by Tipico, and some others. I started to write them all but i found that ledrino played them, just go to his profile
Posted 06/09/2011 02:03 by asger
Thanks for all the notifications!! I have deleted all the picks in mention and stats have been corrected. Looks like some of the bookmakers put 1st half o/u in Full event o/u feed. I could not find any other picks with these o/u errors in his history: http://www.betscout.com/profile/ledrino/history
Posted 08/09/2011 07:22 by ledrino
hi, I don't know why you delete my picks of am. football and handball. EXample: I do an odd for hometeam (7.80) by tipico and for the other team using another bookmaker (8.50). They are 2 different bookmaker, is not a my error, is a different valutation for the same match. I know that in these contitions is sure that I win, but not for a my decision. I do a bit using the odds You propose. Let me know.
Posted 08/09/2011 07:36 by ledrino
PS: if I do a pick, I can't delete it. You have to find errors before editing the bookmakers picks. So please, give me back all profits because they are not errors. I think that for the same match I must find only one bookmaker for all possible finel (1 X 2), and not different BM for each one. I think the error is your
Posted 08/09/2011 09:36 by asger
Hey. The problem has been that bet365 placed their home win odds in the away win category. So the odds were simply misplaced, and picks with clear errors will be deleted. These errors are indeed not your fault, and I think the problem with the misplaced odds have been solved now.
There can be cases where a surebet is possible, maybe odds 2.14 (home) + 2.08 (away) - but when you see odds 12 + 14 then you know it's an error for sure. Even if bookmakers actually have these (misplaced) odds, they will also void the bets. So we're just doing the same any bookmaker would do. All the deleted picks were clear errors / misplaced odds.
I'm sorry for all the confusion. I understand your concern because we should not have misplaced odds at all.

hi! the remaining winners of the Summer Contest, you have received your prizes?
Posted 08/09/2011 12:21 by asger
Sorry, no one has received prizes yet. I am still waiting for some of the bookmakers to verify the accounts. Pinnacle tol me Umricaci had not joined via our links, but directly at Pinnacle. So he will unfortunately not get his prize, and the winnings of the rest depend on whether or not these accounts are verified.
Posted 08/09/2011 12:53 by dimitris
Thanks for the quick reply asger! Ok, no problem, just I had to wonder why nobody talked about this so many days!
Posted 08/09/2011 18:34 by ledrino
and my registration ? It's all right? and a second question: is I week that I try to log in bet3000 website but now in my country (italy) is not possible. in order to a new low, the bookmaker that don't have an italian licence couldn't have a website on line. So I can't take my money. let me know if there are other possibilities: I registred a new account using BETCLIK. thanks
Posted 08/09/2011 19:43 by asger
Hi Ledrino, I have not been able to verify your account, but I understand that bet3000 does not accept Italian customers. You could not know that since we have not reviewed bet3000, but that is clearly why we could not see you registration. You can get your money at Moneybookers or PayPal instead.
Posted 09/09/2011 06:16 by ledrino
HI. In July when I have registred my account via betscout, bet3000 was available. It's since 10 days that in Italy I can't log in in the Bet3000 website cause the actually lows do not permit. So please if possible, use my email address to send me my money at Paypal account. My new registration is now with Betclic, this bookmaker had all italian authorization and license so it is able to work in italy. Let me know please if, how and when you decided to pay the win. THANKS PS: sorry for my bad bad bad bad english

If I can give the prize to charity...In fact I do not need awards.
Posted 09/09/2011 18:31 by asger
@ ledrino - is it the same email address you use for Betscout and Paypal?
@ Umricaki - The prizes will go to charity - the members below you in the summer contest :) I'm really sorry that your registration was not tracked if you registered through Betscout. Delete your internet cookies before your next signup, and it will definitely be tracked. I can see you actually joined the September contest with your Pinnacle account again, but you need a new account for each monthly contest so please pick a new bookmaker and you will stay in this contest ;)
Posted 09/09/2011 18:56 by ledrino
yes is the same. or if you want you can use my main email the one I use for all official activities: . thank you very much.
Posted 09/09/2011 19:05 by dimitris
Hi Asger! With me, 188bet confirmed my registration? .ps: I have not deposited money in the company (188bet) , opened account only for bs competition. I hope this will not be a problem!
Posted 09/09/2011 20:11 by asger
@ledrino - is your Paypal email?
@dimitris - your signup has just been verified :) Now all signups have been verified and we can process the winnings.
This whole process of transfering money to the bookmaker account takes too long.. I will just transfer directly to all winners' moneybooker/paypal account. So post your email used for moneybookers / paypal here, or mail it to me at . Cheers.
Posted 09/09/2011 20:16 by dimitris
thank you very match! i can use my neteller account?
Posted 09/09/2011 20:35 by asger
Not right now unfortunately :( I bet you'll win again so just create a Moneybookers account. It's much faster than Neteller, they don't require ID and I can send to you instantly.
Posted 09/09/2011 20:35 by dimitris
ok. my moneybookers email is you!

http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/9530/betscout.png Nice day, but i wish i played all the Austrians over 3,5 too. And I wish that these Dutch and Austrians play every day :D
Posted 09/09/2011 20:45 by asger
Nice :P These lower-league overs look very profitable in general! Cash shipped dimitris.
Posted 09/09/2011 20:52 by dimitris
Yes, Asger, it is a good bet system, but also a bit dangerous ... requires great patience ... Οnce again, thank you very much !
Posted 09/09/2011 21:12 by asger
Yes, I have never had much profit with o/u, but I don't pay enough attention to lower leagues, though that's where the money often is at. But of course, it's not just picking over on everything, research and knowing the teams and matchups is important and some are better with that than others ;)
Posted 09/09/2011 21:23 by dimitris
Yes, you're right! I play Chile, Canada, Peru and lower division of england and only over 1 at half time! is a good bet ... ;)
Posted 09/09/2011 21:56 by dinamo
Thanks I received the award. I hope this month we are okay with the participation of last month followed the steps but I made another account with the bookmaker
Posted 10/09/2011 10:53 by taboof
asqer, ofcourse its important to know team's stats, but there are some leagues that every match almost always go over, like Netherlands, Austrian, or Norway 2. league.
Posted 10/09/2011 10:53 by taboof
We need a chat room on betscout :)
Posted 10/09/2011 10:58 by betnoob
yes, chat :), or forum, that would be cool
Posted 10/09/2011 17:03 by asger
Yea, we need a chat room, and also a general / off-topic forum. We will get that in october/november, but I'm just not sure if it should be a chat for each match.. I think we will make a general chat which we can see no matter where we are on the site.
Posted 13/09/2011 15:29 by taboof
No need for chat for each match. General chat room will be eneough.
Posted 13/09/2011 16:21 by asger
You're right, that will be the thing. Interesting for sharing live betting tips as well.
