Steemit Betting Community | Mission Statement

The Steemit Betting Community is a Project that wants to Support and Grow Sports Betting related activity here on Steemit. It grew out of a Monthly Sports Betting Curation post from @costanza (inspired by @abh12345) which made @acelad join in to also give support to Sports Betting related content. Getting some initial support inspired @beat-the-bookies to start a Discord Server and came with an idea for a support bot . @stimp1042 joined in also giving a lot of support and created the @sbcbot account while also powering it up with a generous SP delegation which inspired others to also give some support to the bot. @fullcoverbetting also joined and created the SBC World Cup Contest and things continue to progress...


To make clear that this Community Project is not about getting free upvotes from our support bot just for posting random bets, I wrote down a mission statement with the main things the SBC would like to achieve here on Steemit over time !


Steemit can be quite hard on new members because it has a very steep learning curve. As a group, we can make a huge difference in this regard by giving some initial support to new sports bettors that join the platform in different ways...

1. Making them feel welcome and Show There is A Community

Welcoming new accounts in group on their first couple posts is important. Steemit can be a lonely platform to start on, especially after the initial introduction post. Keeping an eye out as a group for new accounts that bring sports betting related content and giving them a warm welcome should give some a good motivation to really give Steemit at least a fair chance.

2. Giving Some Initial Upvote support

Starting out without any upvotes can be very discouraging. Giving new accounts the knowledge they can achieve something on Steemit with the help of the SBC should highly increase the success rate.

3. Offering Some Initial Guidance

Giving support by personal guidance on this platform, how everything works and what generally a good way of going about things is can make a huge difference when it comes down to giving someone an initial push to succeed on steemit. Having to learn everything by yourself on Steemit is a mountain many fail to climb. Taking some time to help new members out should make this journey much more easy. Everyone has to start somewhere and will get time to make improvements and find their way on this Platform.


Steemit is in the first place a social network where being social, making friends and grouping up has a lot of benefits. Unlike most other ways to make money online by publishing Sports Betting related content, Steemit does not require anyone to actually make profit on their bets. There are many different ways members can give and get some value from this community...

1. Posting Quality Content

Quality content is often something very subjective and difficult to define. I would say any post where some effort is put in to make it enjoyable to read and potentially provide some value to others or help yourself to really improve your personal betting can be seen as quality. This includes

  • Betting Related Articles
  • Personal Bets (Including Odds and overall Record)
  • Live Bets in Discord (Results can be Posted Afterwards)
  • Honest Personal Results Tracking
  • Sports Betting Journey Diary
  • System Tracking
  • Previews with Good Information
  • Roundups with Good Information
  • Steemit Betting Community Related Posts
  • Contests
  • ...

2. Supporting the Community

The only way a community can work is when members show each other support. This does not mean you need to have a lot of Steem Power and upvote everyone of the group. Bigger accounts should have a bit more responsibility in this regard to make it all scalable over time though. Some of the ways support can be given...

  • Making Friends in Our Community
  • Be Active on Our Discord
  • Helping Build Community Tools
  • Posting Genuine Comments
  • Upvoting SBC Posts You Appreciate
  • Delegating or Donating to the @sbcbot
  • Finding New Members On Steemit
  • Bringing New Members To Steemit
  • Guiding New Members
  • Hosting a Contest
  • ...

3. SBC Member Benefits

Being part of The Steemit Betting Community can have a lot of benefits. This ranges from getting Support from other Community Members and being able to use the @sbcbot upvotes, to having a better way to get exposure on this platform and get a bigger following...

  • Being Part of The Group
  • Growth as a Sports Bettor
  • Getting Valuable @sbcbot Upvotes!
  • Potentially Getting Group Member Upvotes
  • Higher Post Earnings
  • Better Steemit Exposure
  • Exclusive Contest Entries
  • Having a Certain Quality label
  • ...


The Steemit Betting Community just got started and there are many things that we would like to implement and need to be improved over time to help everyone grow both on Steemit and as Sports Bettors. The main idea will always be to grow as a group and allow everyone the time to improve themselves.

  • Access to More Professional Tips
  • Unified Way of Posting Bets
  • Potential Pick Tracking System
  • Ways to Post Things more Privately
  • Bigger Support Upvotes
  • More Contests
  • ...


Since being profitable at betting will never be a key requirement, anyone who is posting Sports Betting Related Content with some Minimum Quality Requirements and is willing to engage in this Community is Welcome to Join and make use of the @sbcbot Upvotes! Just drop by on our Discord Server, say Hello and use the introduceyourself channel to leave a link to your Steemit Blog !

To all current Whitelisted members who are followed by and able to make use of the @sbcbot, please feel free to leave your comments, remarks, suggestions, disagreements,... below in the comments! (It would be nice to get some feedback from the ones that currently seem to have joined our community just to make use of the free upvotes...)

First of all thanks to all of you for building this community und making it a reality on Steemit! I am not an expert but from the little I know I can say that SBC is one of a kind on this blockchain. Do you want to enjoy the free upvote of the sbcbot? Who doesn't? I enjoy it! But you should look beyond that advantage. Because there are more rewarding things than that upvote! I got warned recently by some random guy writing that the content of my post isn't good enough for this blockchain. @acelad stepped up and wrote a comment saying that there are people enjoying my content and I should keep it up! Thats was very encouraging! That happened because being in the SBC community gave me some exposure. Thanks again man @acelad !

I am not the only to which that happened. @professionaltips can sing a song about it. Read this post to see why. Thanks @beat-the-bookies and @fullcoverbetting for supporting him!
So you see some members of this community got your back!
You aren't the emotional typ of guy? You're in for the money? For the SBD? Well guess what many SBC members are organizing very rewarding contests and giveaways for instanz @costanza, @stiml1024, @beat-the-bookies taking care of the sbc contest and @fullcoverbetting SBC world cup contest.
If you're good, you can sweep up a good amount of SBD and maybe even win some SP to help you grow.
Most importantly it's challenging and it's fun.

I am very happy that I can be in this community! Thanks for all.

Firstly it is nice to see that we argrowing this fast. I can remember the times that we were only with 4 on the disord channel.
You did a great thing with the mission statement!
The biggest thing we want to achieve is to become a real community, convering multiple sports!
A community where everybody is welcome as long as everybody interacts! We all bring diverse and special knowledge/assest/attributes to our SBC community!
It would be great if we can learn from each other and become the bookies nightmare 😂!
That we support each other during losing streaks and prevent each other from getting into gambling related problems!
Already proud to be a member/partly founder of the community!

Just put my entry in for @fullcoverbetting's WC contest and resteemed it out - That will hopefully keep him busy for a day or 2 :D

Cheers!

The community has grown so fast and in such a short time. Good to see there'll be a focus on quality and standardization. Pair those up with more interaction and the sky's the limit :)

It's a beautiful idea... I am proud to be a member of Bet community. Congratulations for @beat-the-bookies, @acelad @fullcoverbetting @costanza if I did not mention about someone I'm sorry... Great job Gentlemen :)
