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 
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...
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
