Hello and welcome to the 2020 German Masters Prediction Contest

This contest is simple. You place a bet on each match in the German Masters with handicaps I set to enter this contest and start earning money. The one person who ends up with the most money at the end wins this contest.

Example 1
Judd Trump v James Cahill - Trump-2.5
Your bet: Trump $10

If Trump wins in a scoreline with 3 frames difference or more (i.e. 5-0, 5-1, 5-2), you win $10
If Trump wins in other scoreline or Cahill wins, you lose $10

Example 2
John Higgins v Mark Williams - Even
Your bet: Williams $50

If Williams wins in any scoreline, you win $50
If Higgins wins in any scoreline, you lose $50

Betting Amount
From Last 32 to Quarter Final, the minimum bet for each match is $10 and maximum is $30.
From Semi Final to Final, minimum is still $10 and maximum becomes $50.
For convenience, please place your bet as $10/$20/$30/$40/$50 only.

Further Rules
- You must place a bet on each match for the day or any potential winning for that day will be forfeited. However, you can choose not to submit any bets for the whole day, then there will be no winning or losing on that said day.

- In the event of tied amount of money earned, the tie breaker will be the number of correct match predictions.

I quite like the format. These smaller tournaments are perfect for experimenting with different types of competition. I really like the way the handicap removes any really easy predictions.

All at the maximum allowed please

I can’t see any reason for the TD to exclude themselves since the odds are fixed and announced on the template surely scope for cheating is minimal


I would prefer in betting style competitions be able to pick and choose which matches to bet on
Partly because it would not to matter quite so much if a deadline was missed, plus it might make it easier for the person running if for example you only had to predict half or even a quarter of first round matches

Absolutely, its something rather different and any new format is welcome and worth a try - these kind of events do provide the scope for trying out new and different formats. I've had a variety of different formats over the years some have worked well and have been repeated and some haven't worked out

Apologies for not entering this, but it has been a very busy week at work.

To give some personal feedback looking at the format - I don't think the format precludes an entry by the TD - but I do think there should be either a given website where the handicaps are sourced from (when we used odds in the World Championship for a few years we used Betfred) or if there are handicaps which are picked by someone then it should be an outsider not taking part in the contest.
