Right now the bot is already giving out ~0.10$+ upvotes. Since we just got started and the amount of actual sports bettors here on Steemit is very limited, the "Terms Of Use" are very soft.
- You must be on the list of steemians that the bot follows
- Your post must be sports related
- Written in English
- Tagged with sbc
To make the entire support project we got going on more long term scalable and free from abuse, I would like to make some general "Terms Of Use" suggestions of things that should or should not qualify to use the bot on.
- The idea of having a whitelist is great as it creates a real sense of belonging in this community. Something that could be done is to make a trial list for members who want to join. They would start off getting smaller upvotes and move up to the bigger ones over time if what they live up to some of the requirements. This should prevent the bot from being drained. The way I see things, people who occasionally make posts about sports betting should also be welcome as long as they bring some value to this platform . Some of the ways people can give value to this community that can get them whitelisted...

- Posts that make use of the bot should all have some relation to Sports Betting (reference to the odds) without the requirement to actually contain bets. There are plenty of reasons for Sports Bettors to join and give some value to Steemit aside from posting actual picks. Some of the things that come to mind...

One of the more important things when it comes down to posting bets is Record Keeping which is something very few people actually do. Without it, posted bets are just random and totally meaningless and often produced in under a minute. For posts with just bets in them it should always be manditory to keep an accurate record. This can be done on a Daily | Weekly or Monthly basis, but it should always be possible to easily be able to check the complete record. This can be done with links to result roundups from previous months. I would make this a very clear rule for anyone who just posts bets (NO RECORD = NO UPVOTE)
Longer write-ups that contain a lot of info and some potential bet suggestions should be fine even though this will not always be a clear line.Making Profit should in my opinion Never Be A Requirement. What differentiates Steemit from most other online to make money from betting related content is that it's not done through selling picks or info, but by the overall community support. In the end, very few people are actually profitable when it comes down to sports betting. This is one of the things that might make Steemit very attractive for Sports Bettors.
Sharing bets and keeping a stats is something very hard to do because most will end up having a negative record, get ego triggerd and look for ways to manipulate things to get into the green. (even I get these urges at times, but never act on them) There are plenty of ways to do so right now. counting the record wrongly, using odds that are not available, chasing with much higher stakes, ... From what I konw @acelad is working on a unified way to post bets which sbc members will have to use which will already make a big difference! Putting Up a Reward for anyone who spots a scammer might be an options even though I'm not sure it's the best idea.
Original Work
The idea behind this community is to have as much Original Betting Related Content as possible here on Steemit. Copy-Pastes from websites should not be what this is all about. Plagiarism and making use of pictures that have copyrights on them might also be an issue. ( When searching google for pictures always go to advanced setting and choose "Free to use or share" or use websites like Pixbay for the use of your pictures or create them yourself )
Being somewhat active in the community and keeping and honest record when posting just bets while bringing original content should be some basic requirements to be part of this new Steemit Betting Community.and make use of the @sbcbot
