With a little more than one day left till the end of the competition, I've passed the 20 bet threshold today. How about you, are there still people like me who haven't been making lots of bets here?
I'm also wondering about the stats. Mine were only updated for my first 11 bets, and the win/loss column was updated only for the first 3 bets that I placed for this competition. I can see that there are others whose stats weren't updated for a while as well, but I guess it's understandable that it's an overwhelming amount of work for one person, so no worries there. It's just that without actively updated stats, it's very hard to see how everyone's doing so far, and how close or far from winning the competition I am in comparison with others.
I won 9/14 bets that were already settled if I'm not mistaken, but they were largely on pretty low odds, so I have no idea where this puts me.

Three wins and three losses in week five of the NRL 2021 competition, the best win being:

... and I didn't do too badly in the UK Football either:



... and before that:

I just noticed that one of the bets I submitted was in LTC, that doesn't count since my bankroll is in BTC right ?

Also how's your guys profit record so far ? I'm currently down 4 units but slowly climbing back with 3 wins in a row and 2 more pending later today.

I'm reaching out the Nitrogen Sports (EU) about why one of my bets is showing as "Money Line Lost" given that Scotland beat out rivals France in the last game of the competition.  (admittedly, I've only been using the Nitrogen Sports (EU) website for a week, but still it's not nice not being paid for a correct call).



Rugby Union

My pick of the Chiefs over the Blues has covered the two "losses" that occurred, so I'm still (roughly) breaking even.

Over in Rugby League, I've had three wins and a loss:

*edit*

I've already received a response back - Payment for the Scotland Vs France game has been corrected:

There had been 3 draws on 13 matches this evening : France-Ukraine 1-1, Finland-Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-2 and Cyprus-Slovakia 0-0. That represents 23% of matchs.
If you want to avoid draws on Stake you have the Draw No Bet and the Asian Handicap 0 to get a voided bet in case of a draw, the Double Chance and the AH +0.5 to get a winning bet in case of a win of your team or a draw, the AH +0.25 to get at least half of your winnings in case of a draw and the AH -0.25 to lose only half of your stake in case of a draw.  

Same here, I had a good start after hitting one of my parlays then after that its all downhill with the losses for me (currently on a 5 losing streak).

As much as I want to bet on the World cup matches it's probably best for me to skip them since my gut tells me there will be a lot of draws and I don't have a lot of knowledge on most of the teams. Good luck to all you guys though.  

Every day there will always be any matches for us to bet on but yes, with a world cup qualifying match it certainly adds another interest in betting so I think it's a challenge because betting on a match between clubs and national teams is something different.
But by the way, I'm still looking forward to @vennali to come back on and make some updates to the sheet.

Yes I agree with you, it will be a very exciting moment because unlike many soccer and sport competitions, matches will be freely broadcasted on free TV channels. You can check which TV channels  will broadcast which matches in your country on this link https://www.uefa.com/european-qualifiers/fixtures-results/

From tomorrow, the World Cup qualifying matches begin...
There will be a lot of interesting matches until the end of March! We will have a lot of opportunities to make express bets!
Good luck to all!

Got killed on march madness the other day, especially Tennessee (guess that's why it's madness). Probably doing too many parlays for the contest and should be doing single bets (oh well, having fun). Betting on ESPN UFC tonight. Parlayed Tuivasa under 1.5 rounds and Holland ml.

I think Tai Tuivasa-Harry Hunsucker will end quickly.
Tai Tuivasa's replacement opponent tonight Harry Hunsucker (https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Harry-Hunsucker-239513) in all his past 10 fights never leaves the first round. Tai Tuivasa to win @1.21, Tai Tuivasa by ko/tko/dq/sub @1.36, under 1.5 rounds @1.36, and Tai Tuivasa to win in the first round @1.7 seem fairly likely. Puncher's chance has Harry first round @11.0, Harry by ko/tko/dq/sub @5.5. It seems more likely that Tuivasa wins based on experience, and if you look at Tuivasa's past (https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Tai-Tuivasa-133745) most of of his wins happen in the first round. But Tuivasa has only won 1 of last 4 fights. He's facing an unfamiliar opponent. There's a small chance Tuivasa doesn't do enough in the first round to finish Hunsucker, and stops him in the second round (Tuivasa to win second round @6.5 seems to be value for that chance, but will it even get there).

I also think that Holland will win against Brunson.
https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Kevin-Holland-108999
https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Derek-Brunson-68494
Holland is younger (28, Brunson is 37), has been more active (5-0 in 2020 vs Brunson's 1-0), has a 4 inch reach advantage, and appears more confident. Brunson has good wrestling and frequently ends fights after taking down opponents, but Holland appears to have decent defensive wrestling, and is able to pose a threat from all positions. I think the longer the fight goes the more advantage Brunson will have, and he will want to basically win rounds by wrestling/dominant position. I'm banking on Holland to win the striking battle, and to ko/tko early, or win enough rounds by being more offensive in a close decision.

Crash and burn! Slowly digging a hole that I won't get out of for the contest. I guess wrestling is the most important martial art in the UFC, and generally should bet more on the fighter with the better wrestling credentials who can control where the fight goes. Holland looked like he was more concerned with making jokes tonight. Best of luck everyone

Several is your first name I guess  
Why I would blame you for that while there is no ID nor betslip available on Freebitcoin? I wasn't talking about you.
I tried to make a comment yesterday on the Games and rounds thread but people didn't bother and continued to post their bets without any link nor betID ... that seems to have escape your attention as you say LOL

It hasn't escaped my attention you're hyperventilating in multiple threads about the same issue... that and the fact I'm the only one who's playing via freebitco.in (a rival company to the one in your signature).  Please don't turn this into an unfriendly competition.

I have PM'd them about it and its up to them to figure out how to improve on their screenshots.

Unfortunately several contestants are still not posting the ID of their bets, nor providing any link toward their betslips. I think they should be seriously warned now, because that's unfair for other contestants who are placing real bets with their own money.  

Yes I got a few bracket entries on Nitro and I also have them in one of my brackets but it's looking unlikely with Oregon State dominating in every way possible.

On a side note, I really like Watford @1.6 at home tomorrow and i'll probably include them on a parlay since they need to maintain their lead against Swansea.

I'm locked into betting with freebitco.in in part because other gambling sites block users from Australian I.P. addresses - so I'm relyant on the games that they offer bets on.  (they did have the Rugby Six Nations for one round).  With TX fees they way they are shifting funds around isn't too advisable at the moment.

Is anyone in the contest following or betting on March Madness college basketball? Did you fill out a bracket?
Tomorrow a game I like is Tennessee to beat Oregon State. I took Tenn -8.5 (and the Tenn 1.22 ml is worth adding to a parlay).

Hi all,

I'm just playing catch up here - My name isn't on the google spread sheet - I put down a couple of bets (that didn't win) on the first thread and had a couple of bets (that did win - but alas I never put them on any thread).  Is my starting purse still what it was in the other thread?  Or, is it what it is now?

As long as the Bet ID is visible and you can prove that it was a bet made on your account (if someone asks/objects). I am fine with it. It will be helpful if your sportsbook has the post betslip feature as I can just click on the betslip to know the result of it. Instead of searching for them over the internet.

I have updated the ROIs for the tournament so far, on the spreadsheet and created a leader board. Please have a look. Thanks

Damn, you are right. Maybe they changed that later or maybe I got it wrong from beginning. No matter, from now on I will be posting my betslip link as well.
