  2. the next ranked tipster accordingly to the ROI on the Betfair contest in the last month and that has the minimum amount of tips required,

• You can only place pre-live Tips on the games available on our site;
• Tips can be placed on any available Betfair market;
• Tips can only be placed on games that haven't started yet, the market for that game must be available, and the selection must correspond to that market;
• Only a Tip per market of the game is allowed, mas pode-se fazer uma Tip contrária (Lay depois de um Back) para “fechar a aposta” caso te tenhas arrependido ou ganho alguns ticks;
• If a game is postponed for more than 48 hours, all the unsolved Tips of that game will be voided.
• All users can place Tips and win prizes, as long as they have submited their Betfair username on the page "Win Academy points". The best Tipsters are in the Betfair Professional contest;
• A Professional Tipster that doesn't do any Tip on a month, automatically is ranked last.
• For each contest the ROI is calculated using all the confirmed Tips of the month (beginning day 1 at 0h, GMT London);
• You have 24h after the end of the month to verify and communicate any fault in the classification;
• The ROI (Return On Investment) is calculated by the following formula:

  Odd	Won	Loss
  BACK	Trust degree x ( Odd - 1 ) x 100%	- Trust degree x 100%
  LAY	Trust degree / ( Odd - 1 ) x 100%	- Trust degree x 100%
  	Tip maximum profit capped at 400 %

• Tipster ranking tiebreakers criteria:
  1. largest amount of confirmed Tips that month;
  2. raffle.
• The maximum profit by Tip is automatically truncated at 400%. It is allowed to make Tips with odds greater than 5,00 (or less than 1,25 in Lay), but for the Tipster Competitions ranking, if it's a winning Tip, it only counts on 400% profit, which is the equivalent to a Tip of odd 5,00 (or 1,25 to Lay);
• The prizes will be payed in freebet token Betfair see tutorial. The freebet has to be used in the SportsBook (not in the Exchange), in a single bet, at odds equal or greater than 1.20. The frebet token expires after 30 days from the credited date. There is no rollover because you'll only receive the profit, credited in your balance. There may be delays on the prize payments, so if they have not been paid 4 weeks after the end of the month, please report it to the user Academy via PM.
• After September 2015, all the Professional League prizes are 30€ freebet each, and the order of professional Tipsters will be used only for the purpose of relegation to the Amateur League.
• Note: To receive prizes, the winner must have made at least 1 deposit and 1 bet during the contest month, until the 20th of that month. That is, to receive the March contest prize (which ends on March 31), the winner must have made at least 1 deposit and 1 bet between March 1 and March 20.
