Betonline $1M Survivor Pool - home stretch

[rseconi]

I'm new to the forum. I tried out the betonline $1M Survivor pool for the first time. I invested ~ $450 to get 26 entries. I'm now down to 1 pick left. Been a fun pool so far, luckily I avoided most of the major upsets. It started with 35,498, now down to 47. I will share my experience during the final 2 weeks, picks made once they lock after kickoff, pay out timing (if i make it 2 more weeks), etc. It's a popular and growing overseas pool, so thought I would share for anyone looking to join next season!

I'm considering Cowboys or Bengals this week, luckily have both left, unfortunately already used Broncos and Patriots. So far it looks like 35% on Cowboys for Christmas games. Will share more when %'s lock after kickoff.

Good luck for those of you still alive in your survivors, 2 more weeks. Happy holidays!

Good luck with your decision! I was in this survivor pool and got eliminated on Week 14 in the Tampa wave. Unfortunately I had used all of the good alternatives that week, but overall it was a pretty fun contest.

Given so few players left and that people can change selections up until kickoff, I'm not sure how much the percentages really mean at this point. Hopefully this contest goes again next year and they keep the added wrinkle of the extra Thanksgiving slate.

Welcome. What did you use to get past Turkey Day/Black Friday?

Hi btcfan. I was lucky to have multiple entries still left so took 1 pick and used as a hedge (took Bears) realizing that I'd be 1 of very few, knowing 90%+ would go out. There were ~ 2k left going into that weekend.

Figured you probably had both sides of that game. I guess since it wasn't Circa, where you needed to lock it in early, you already knew what happened on Thurs going into the Philly game and could still pick then. Definitely worth burning an entry in that spot.

I was in a group with 2 that we split on Bal/Philly. Didn't like either game but didn't have the Bears available for Fri and wasn't taking Cinci in that spot.

Our group has a few going at Splash that go into the playoffs. Interesting way to play, trying to dodge taking playoff teams to keep as many alive as possible. Started week 14, looking good so far. Feels like a coin flip who makes the deep run so will need some luck on the postseason.

Our couple Circa entries got crushed on the AZ dropped TD vs TN. Awful way to go but we would have been done on Turkey Day. We had Det/Bal slotted for that. Would have got that far but no different result.

GL! You might be able to get some creative bets based on other's selections as a hedge (round robins/etc).

Ugh, sorry to hear that on Tennessee. I was at that game, brutal, never seen anything like that in terms of a complete meltdown. Never heard of survivor into playoffs, takes another level of strategy. This is the first time Betonline did the Tday games as a separate week, kind of required to thin out the entries after starting with 36k. Good luck in the playoffs, luckily you have Bengals and Cowboys to use this week w/ neither needing to save for playoffs!

Bol passing on 12 days vip promotion this year was grinch like. seemed like they put Xmas promos into their slots, where you spin $250 on these slots only, lose and get a $25 rebate, jajajaja

Gotta say their vip program is subpar and I paid for additional mega contest entry’s and find it beyond strange that “gamblers” who never picked a single week, go 5-0 out of nowhere for a share of the weekly $8333

Nailed it.

Yes, have noticed the %'s changing in survivor after the games have started. I wish there was more transparancy on pick selections. I really like what Draftkings does, they share a file with everyone picks right after Sun 10am PST kickoff. Guess that's the tax you pay for overseas gambling.

Week 17 update:
18 survived with Dallas.
1 lost with Chargers

28 left - morning games should be locked.
Cincinnati - 34%, 16 picks
New England - 11%, 5 picks
Tampa Bay - 9%, 4 picks
Pittsburgh - 2%, 1 pick
San Fran 2%, 1 pick (could change)
Rams 2%, 1 pick (could change)

good luck to eveyone today!!

 

[rseconi]

Final remaining 40 picks appear to be in. Afternoon mix could change. Good luck to everyone in their final survivor!

Jacksonville - 45%, 18 picks
Minnesota - 28%, 11 picks
Cincinnati - 10%, 4 picks
Houston - 5%, 2 picks
New England 5%, 2 picks
Atlanta, Rams, Buffalo 3%, 1 pick each

Hey man - hope you made it to the end. I was one of the final 36. If you did make it, have you received the payout yet? I havent seen anything come through

Thanks for checking in. The pool ended with 36 folks after Bengals lost. I was one of the lucky winners grabbing Vikings in the final week. As of today, I still have not seen the payout in my account. I recall in prior years I've won, it takes a few days. Will report back once I've received the payment in my account.

 

[rseconi]

My deposit was made this morning. I need to complete a rollover on the initial deposit amount before I can withdrawal since playing in the survivor pool doesn't count as rollover. Will get that done asap. But so far payouts appear on schedule, along the same timelines as in prior survivors.

How much does one win if split 36 ways?

Excellent job.

Yes I’m curious the payout for each winner too.

 

[btcfan]

Should be around $27.7K if there was overlay. Not sure if the total prize money got over $1M.

 

[rseconi]

Correct, payout was $1M shared with 36. $27,778 each.

Awesome man. Congrats, How much did you pay all in for entries? Only $450??

 

[rseconi]

That's correct. $450 got me the max entries at 26. It's a tiered system on entry cost, the first few are $35 each, then the last few are like $15. But i would definitely max out on entries if you play.
