What if there was an extremely well organized football bettors' community, open to join from worldwide, but limited to a maximum number of members, with a very small monthly membership fee (we would be starting for free of course!), in which would be solved the above mentioned problem?

...A football bettors' community, in which in any day all it's members who have betting activity in the respective day, could share their daily plays/picks (and their analysis, reasoning for these plays, if they wish to) on the day's football matches, respecting a set of very clear, yet very easy to get used to and to follow rules, regarding the number and the type of wagers they can post, the highest-lowest (max-min) odds they can use, the time frame to post their plays reported to the start of the matches these plays are wagered on, the kind of matches they can post about (so there would be no matches in some obscure competitions, which could be found just at a limited number of bookmakers), and so on?

This set of rules would make very easy for any forum member besides having their own wagers every day, to follow a few (or even more) other members' wagers on a regular basis.

...A community of like minded serious football bettors in which those who are contributing regularly and with the most value to the successful betting portfolio of all other members would be rewarded financially, with a set periodicity, through a ranking decided in the most democratically possible way, by the open vote of all the community's members?

... A restricted community. There will be never allowed over 400 members in any calendar month in the community. If there will be months with this max number, and some members will not renew their membership for the next calendar month, in that next calendar month there will be possibility for new members to join, until this number is reached again.

Explanation for this max number: 

Based on my experience in the sports projects I was involved with in different roles, and also looking at major sports betting forums, my opinion is that no more than 1/3 of all community members will try to regularly share their plays/picks. Having solid positive return in the long run, proving themselves as really good handicappers, there will be no more than 1 for every 10 of those members who are sharing their plays.

These estimates are translating in case of max 400 members to about 133 who will be sharing regularly their plays/picks, and just about max 13 who will be really good handicappers. These last ones will be followed by the majority of all community members for the long run, after the first 1-3 months of starting, when these really good handicappers will get known/appreciated by the whole community.

*******************

These aspects above, and even more I had in my mind, when I laid out the project you are reading about in this webpage.

The base line is that this project's main goal is to combine for football bettors the advantages and values of a good sports betting forum and a good subscription based sports-service.
