I have been thinking about a way to give some support and grow the Sports Betting community on Steemit for a while now. New Sports Bettors are joining every day and getting things started can be quite tricky. To help, I will be using some of my voting power to give out regular upvotes to anyone who uses steemit to publish their bets !

Starting on Steemit can be quite a roller coaster. When you make a proper introduction post, it is very likely to get some nice upvotes which make you all excited. Most of these upvotes tend to be a one time deal and reality kicks in on the next couple posts that struggle to get any upvote whatsoever which for most is highly frustrating. When you continue and bring something valuable, chances are high that you will get your first whale vote which makes you love this platform again. Again this is likely to be a one time deal which makes you see Steemit as a "pay to win" platform as growing an account without investing some hard earned money in steem power can take forever. I believe being able to get regular upvotes even if they are small can be highly valuable and bring some good motivation to keep going on this platform which will be my aim with this project.

In order to get an 0.10$ upvote your post needs to follow 3 simple rules...

1 Use the tag upvotemybets (Max 1 time each day) 2 Post your bet(s) with Stakes and Odds 3 Keep a Record

Anyone who is posting bets without adding the odds or keeping track of their record will be excluded because it's not something I can get behind. It should always be possible to find the record from your previous bets in your post. This can be done by making a weekly or monthy results overview post and linking them (example).

Anyone who is using the @sportsteem bet tracking service on steemit will also automatically qualify for an upvote when using the upvotemybet tag !

For now, this is a 'Work In Progress' project. I will be manually browsing the #upvotemybets tag once a day and each upvote will be worth 0.10$ (around 0.50$ at current SBD price). The idea is to adjust things as time goes by and eventually find a way to improve and automate everything.

Please let me know your feedback and suggestions so we can grow this together!
