Bases
1.- Object
The purpose of this action is to reward those members of the community who contribute the most value to it. Since the very existence of the community aims to identify those users with a higher success rate in sports betting, the contest is designed to encourage participation in the community’s activities.
To be part of the community it is necessary to be subscribed to the page www.thebettingmethod.com
Participation in this contest is completely free for community members.
2.- Personal scope
Anyone over 18 years of age at the time of registering as a member of the community will be eligible to participate in this contest.
In the event of being a winner, compliance with this condition must be proven in the manner chosen and announced to the winners by the “BetPro Community” before receiving the prize.
3.- Territorial scope
The competition is international in scope.
4.- Time frame
The competition will start, with all indicators set to zero, on 1 January 2025 at 12 noon and will accept entries until the kick-off of the FIFA Club World Cup final, scheduled for 13 July 2025.
In the event that the final is postponed or brought forward before the start of the match, the final date for accepting entries will also be postponed or brought forward consequently.
5.- Categories and prizes
There are two categories in the competition: TOP RATING and TOP EARNINGS. The following prizes are established for each of them:
TOP RATING
Position 1: 10.000€
Positions 2-10: 1.000€
Positions 11-100: 100€
TOP EARNINGS
Position 1: 5.000€
Positions 2-10: 1.000€
Positions 11-100: 100€
A General Prize is set for both categories, consisting in a Free BetPro Subscription from august 2025 to june 2026, both included, for all those members who by the end of the contest have a Contest Ratio (as defined on point 7) bigger to 1,20. May the ratio be set with two decimals.
6.- Participation mode
The BetPro Community allows its members, through its website www.thebettingmethod.com/add-bet to propose a sports bet to share with the rest of the members. This sports bet is not real (the community is not a sports betting site), but a Bet Proposal (hereinafter PROPOSAL) that the member publicly exposes to the other members.
This Proposal must meet the following conditions:
- It must be related to at least one of the two teams or two leagues that the member has marked as favourites in their member profile.
- It must have a betting rate between 5 and 6 to 1, in decimal system
- It must be posted at least 45 minutes before the start of the match.
The BetPro Community is responsible for validating that the Proposal made by the member complies with these conditions, publishing it on the website for the rest of the members, as well as validating whether the Proposal would have been a winner if it had actually been made.
Members may not post more than two Proposals in a calendar week.
To participate in the competition it is necessary to have published a minimum of 20 Proposals during the competition period.
Community members also have the opportunity, through the website, to choose Proposals from other members (or even their own) and virtually bet on those Proposals.
These virtual bets are free for the member. Once a user chooses a Proposal to bet virtually, that action can no longer be modified.
So, to summarise:
To participate in the TOP RATING Category, the member must make a minimum of 20 Proposals during the contest period.
To participate in the TOP EARNINGS Category, the member must make a minimum of 20 Proposals during the contest period and have marked at least one virtual bet.
7.- Indicators, classifications and eligibility
Two indicators are defined, CONTEST RATIO (CR) and EARNINGS RATIO (ER):
CONTEST RATIO (CR)
CR = (W/B*6) * (1+ ((B-20)/100))
Where:
W = The number of winner proposals published by the member.
B = The total number of proposals published by the member
EARNINGS RATIO (ER)
ER = W*55 – V*10
Where:
W = The number of virtual bets of that member that have resulted in winners
V = The total number of virtual bets by that member.
The classification of the TOP RATING category will be determined by the CONTEST RATIO index, ordering the classification from highest to lowest index, with two decimal places.
The ranking of the TOP EARNINGS category will be determined by the EARNINGS RATIO index, ordering the ranking from highest to lowest index, with two decimal places.
In both categories, in the event of a tie in the index, the member who has published the most Proposals will prevail. If the tie persists, the members affected by the tie will receive the sum of all the prizes to which they are entitled and will be distributed equally among them.
Members with a CR lower than 1.20 at the time of the contest’s completion will not be eligible for the TOP RATING category.
Members with a ER less than 0 at the time of the contest completion will not be eligible for the TOP EARNINGS category.
8.- Communication to the winner and delivery of the prizes
Over the course of five days following the end of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final match – the event that marks the end of the competition –:
- The final list of winners in both categories and the procedure to be followed to verify the majority of age of the winning members will be published on the website thebettingmethod.com
- Notification will be sent to the winners’ email.
The member will need to provide a payment method associated with their email address (PayPal or similar).
Once the BetPro Community has verified the age of the winners, the prize money will be transferred to the account associated with the email address that the member has provided.
All cash prizes are subject to applicable tax withholding.
9.- Limitations and Powers
BetPro Community reserves the right to change the prizes – their amount or configuration – for others of a higher value.
Likewise, BetPro Community reserves the right to extend, modify, cancel or suspend this contest or take reasonable measures if there are causes of force majeure or causes not attributable to BetPro Community. In this case, if it were necessary to change the dates of the contest, BetPro Comunnity will communicate the new dates to all participants with sufficient notice, committing to communicate the new legal bases or conditions of participation.
There is no limit on the number of entries per person. That is, a person can enter the competition with two different registration email addresses. However, there will be a limit of one prize per person. In the event of winning in both categories, the winner must forfeit one of the two prizes. This means that a natural person can only win once.
