What is a streak contest? A streak contest is one in which you submit a correct play from a list of games offered. Typically you have to make your next and each subsequent pick within a certain number of days, say 3 days or a week, or your streak will reset to 0. I've been participating in streak contests for a number of years now. I've had varying amounts of success depending on the rules offered by the contests. Usually the games they offer to pick are from the 4 major sports leagues and college games.
They basically work like this, you can submit 1 pick per day from the games that are offered. Accumulate a streak of 5 on Bookmaker.eu and you start winning free play prizes to wager on games. Prizes start at $25 free play for 5 correct picks in a row, $100 free play for 9 correct picks in a row, $500 free play for 13 picks in a row, $2500 free play for 17 picks in a row and if you manage to get 21 picks in a row you can win $25,000 cash. The rules are that you must make each subsequent pick within 3 days of each other or your streak resets to 0. Also to get the full prize you have to be an active member on the website placing $300 worth of bets in the 30 days prior to the streak starting otherwise you will only be eligible for 10% of the prize amount. Either way it is free to participate and go for the prizes whether you qualify for the full amount or not.
Over at Covers.com it takes a streak of 9 or more to start winning prizes. The streak of 9 prize is a hat, get a streak of 13 and you win a covers hoodie, a streak of 17 and you win $1,000, streak of 21 will win you $25,000 and if you can get a streak of 25 in a row you can win a cool $100,000. This contest is completely free to enter as well and there are no extenuating stipulations aside from making each pick within a week of each other, so you theoretically are never more than 25 days away from potentially winning 100,000 grand.
Both these contests offer prizes for the most correct picks in any given month. Bookmaker.eu gives 1,000 free play, while covers.com gives 1,000 cash. So even if you just wanted to place a daily pick without going for a streak you could go for those payouts too.
Putting together these streaks can be tough though. You want to scan the sports schedule and look for games in the leagues you feel you have an edge in picking. I've managed to put together 2 streaks of 13 in a row on bookmaker.eu. One back in 2013 where I won $500 free play and another one in 2016 where I won $50 free play because I was not actively betting enough to win the full amount. I should also note that the prizes are cumulative so if you get to 5 or 9 you win those prizes and if you hit the next level you win that prize as well, all the way up to the top prize. On covers.com my best streak 8 in a row and I quit actively trying to get a streak on there for awhile because the prizes are not worth actual money until you hit 17 in a row which is rather difficult to do.
If you feel you're pretty good at picking sides and overs/unders you might as well give these free pick em challenges a shot. You could wind up with some extra money in your pocket and if you get on a hot streak or who knows, you might even win 100,000 grand.
