And this is the end of this 12th Tipster Competition (sposored by DirectBet)

Do I want an explanation why this user ONM has more than 100 bets in this tournament?
Just want to know because few of his last bets made some changes in the leaderboard.

Hey, I think I can clear this up as it was a little confusing to me and took the better part of a day to figure out. Since it bumped me up over you, I feel you deserve an explanation:

First off, I had a couple extra bets from some PGA futures that I bet with less than the minimum wager (since the odds were so high). Those were done several weeks ago and never factored into the competition.

I noticed yesterday that I hadn't gotten a resolution from a bet that had won 8+ hours before. I emailed DB and they promptly settled the bet. I then noticed that the bet resolution didn't affect my leaderboard standing. The profits and 13% never got added into my bankroll and my ROI stayed the same. After looking into it, they found that I was correct and because they manually paid the bet out, it accidentally got omitted from factoring into the competition. They then saw that I had another bet that was manually paid out a few weeks before which also had accidentally gotten omitted from factoring into the competition leaderboard ROI (although it was still counting for the number of bets and the available balance). Once they reconciled that, my ROI jumped up nearly 10% because of the added profits from those two bets that were supposed to count but hadn't yet plus the added profits/13% that I was missing because my max bet should have been higher than it was for the last couple of weeks (I frequently wager over 5% of my bankroll). But if you noticed my "Available balance", it was always 1800+mb, which puts me at an 80%+ ROI...for whatever reason, the error was only affecting the ROI column.

Hope that makes sense.
