Each participant will be given 3000 points at the start of the contest.
Daily we will ask 2 Questions and you have to predict its correct answer.
Every participant has to predict and bet minimum 50 points per Question. Those who fail to predict will face a penalty of 50 points. There is no limit for maximum bet.
If your prediction is correct, you will win points according to the ratio which we will declare along with every question.
If your prediction is wrong then the number of points you placed in bet will be deducted from your account.
The participant who has maximum number of points at the end wins.
To earn more points, participants can also place bets between themselves.
Example
Q.1 Predict the number of front page deals (FPD) tomorrow.
Winning ratio for this question is 1:3
Suppose your bet is :- Tomorrow there will be 4 FPD’s and bet 300 points.
Your point balance : 2000
So if next day if there are 4 FPD then you will win 300×3 points = 900
If your prediction is correct then your point balance After Q.1 will be : 2600
If your prediction is wrong then your point balance After Q.1 will be : 1700
Here you will have to raise one challenge and someone accepts it then the bet will be live between those two participants
Example
Participant 1 says : I challenge that there will be only 2 FPD’s tomorrow and I bet 200 points.
Participant 2 : He accepts and says I accept participant 1 challenge. Then the bet is live. (In short he disagrees with 1)
Participant 1 balance before Challenge: 2000
Participant 2 balance before Challenge: 2000
Now if next day there are only 2 FPD’s then Participant 1 wins and earns double points. i.e 200 points which will be deducted from participant 2’s account and extra 200. Total of 400 points.
Participant 1 balance after Challenge: 2400
Participant 2 balance after Challenge: 1800
But if next day there is 1 or 3 or >3 fpd then Participant 2 wins and earns 200 points which will be deducted from participant 1 account.
Participant 1 balance after Challenge: 1800
Participant 2 balance after Challenge: 2200
Note:
Minimum points in any challenge should be 50.
First person to accept the challenge will only be considered.
Participants have to mention clearly that whose challenge they are accepting.
If none accepts your challenge then your bet won’t be live.
You can challenge and accept challenge only once per question i.e. 2 per day.
Every participant once can apply for 500 points loan if their account balance is zero in between the contest same will be deducted from their account at the end of the contest. Even if after that your account balance is nil then contest is close for you. So bet, challenge wisely.
1st Prize Rs 2000 Gift voucher
2nd Prize Rs 1000 Gift voucher
3rd, 4th & 5th will win Desidime Goodies
Participant can bet, challenge and accepts challenge for every question.
If participant is not placing any bet for any particular question then 50 points will be deducted.
Questions will be declared at 12 PM and 6 PM daily. Every participant can place in their bets, challenges in the next 3 hours. i.e by 3 PM & 9 PM. Beyond which all entries will be considered invalid.
Results and points will be declared at regular intervals.
If any participant found playing with multiple accounts, then he/she will be immediately disqualified and suspended.
Any other rules will be stated when the question is released.
In case of any dispute, Admin’s decision will be final.

@rajrocks Its not related to one specific person. And hence we have decided not to include that question.

this doesn’t solve the issue.
did u investigate who started to cheat?
@anthrax.ut @admin @bumblefoot @Nigel @Priyanka @MJ911 @Alpha.Barood @DealSeeker @Magus
Huge market downside today… Can’t say until last few moments.
@rajrocks Who said there is an issue here.
we are simply not taking this question into consideration. Its not about who started or who participated.
It was a normal question and we just wanted participants to predict & not to be actual part of it start posting posts. And hence its not considered.

thats what im saying. did u identify who started posting intentionally?
why ru not taking actions n instead running away by just disqualifying the question?
u have rules n regulations which comes into action when they are violated in forum then why the same is not being followed in this contest?
u suspend, ban , give warnings n all then why the same is not being done in this contest as the contest comes under the purview of the forum regulations?
pls dont divert from the main subject which caused u to disqualify the question instead of taking action against the root cause.
@anthrax.ut @admin @bumblefoot @Nigel @Priyanka @MJ911 @Alpha.Barood @DealSeeker @Magus
So correct me if I am wrong, If I join today I will start with 300 points, every day I don’t bet I lose 50 points? Odds don’t look too good for me ..
Something happened during badge ceremony, due to that @mahidada and @prebhartia withdrawn nominations.
So, admin decision we have to abide.
You may point out the errors separately too.
Sorry, I could not keep track of the thread, so not knowing the issue fully.

ok but why the same action is not being taken over here also?
why not disqualify ppl who started intentionally? as i was also involved afterwards im ok to be disqualified too.
why there is a forum decorum which is being followed everywhere leaving this contest?
there is ethics to be followed everywhere.
@anthrax.ut @admin @bumblefoot @Nigel @Priyanka @MJ911 @Alpha.Barood @DealSeeker @Magus
@rajrocks No need to tag all admins here, when someone is already addressing your queries. And its a contest and its for Dimers, we are not going to suspend anyone just because they have found some loophole in the question. So chill, question is disqualified for all not for some specific set of dimer.

If you predict well then you can still win. Upcoming winning ratio will be as high as 1:10 or 1:15. So everyone will get a fair chance.

im tagging others in hope that they may look into this as ur running away from addressing the root cause.
y dont u say chill instead of giving warnings, suspending or banning dimers?
why ru not taking action against ppl who are spamming threads just to win in this contest?
@anthrax.ut @admin @bumblefoot @Nigel @Priyanka @MJ911 @Alpha.Barood @DealSeeker @Magus
just to let you know none of the spam comments are still active, we have deleted it all. And as i said there is no point of suspending or banning anyone here as we think question was incomplete, may be we could have mentioned those who are participating their comments will not be considered.
anyways its a contest and its for fun, so lets take it that way, we will comeup with better questions next time. 
and yes contest is still on so nobody won it yet. and i rest my case.
