We get questions all the time on how to win a Bet of the Day, why a
particular bet wasn't chosen, suggestions for Bet of the Day, or what
players can do to make their bets more likely to win a Bet of the Day. Hopefully, the following will help clarify some of these questions.
We review all bets for the Bet of the Day award, and choose the best
bet created since the last award was chosen. We choose a BOTD 2-3
times a day, one around 10AM Pacific, another around 7PM Pacific, and
possibly a third around 12-1AM Pacific. This makes sure that each Bet
of the Day will be visible for the maximum time possible, and lets a
few users every day reap the rewards.
We won't choose a Bet of the Day
from the same user twice in one day, and we try to spread out the
awards as much as possible, but of course, some users are trying much
harder to win and will wind up winning the award more frequently. As a
reminder, here's the criteria we use for selecting a Bet of the Day:
- The bet asks a creative and thought-provoking question.
- The content of the bet uses correct spelling and grammar and is descriptive.
- The title should be as descriptive as possible, so that people know
at a glance what the question is about without reading the bet
description.
- Prediction bets are more likely to be chosen than majority wins bets.
- The Bet of the Day should include pictures to illustrate the bet's choices.
But of course, some days there are simply too many quality bets to
choose from, and we can only choose one bet in the allotted time frame
for Bet of the Day. So what makes some bets stand out more than
others? Here's some more suggestions on how you might win the Bet of
the Day:
- We like to choose bets that are topical for inclusion on the front
page, so a bet that discusses a recent news story may be more likely to
win Bet of the Day.
- When you do discuss a recent news story, include a link with the bet
to further illustrate what the bet is about. That way, we can verify
the accuracy of the information, and if users have any questions there
will be an easy source for information about the bet.
- With the recent changes regarding borrowing BluBucks, some users
don't like to participate in bets with high antes. Also, the first bet
that most new users see on BluBet is the Bet of the Day, so we don't
want new users to be discouraged by placing a high ante bet early on
after joining BluBet. For that reason, we are less likely to pick a
Bet of the Day that has an ante of over 5000, and the lower the ante
the better. (We recommend an ante of 1000.)
Thanks for all the great bets, and good luck winning the Bet of the Day!
