So we will keep getting other's input on how we will come to a formal conclusion on the next iteration for putting together a competition for our group here on the forum so to challenge one another. Grin

Well we gather here mostly because of MM so probably something similar to MM? Let someone pick 3 random matches each week from all 5 top leagues ( EPL, Serie A, LaLiga, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga ) for a total of 15 matches per week and then all of us pick the result of it? Winner will be based on number of correct picks eack week or probably after several weeks?

Somewhere along this line would be great I think because most of us seems to love football alot more then other sports ? idk . Well Im fine with whatever gets decided in the end though  Smiley

I am up for anything as long as the sport falls into my normal category Smiley Keep it inside major EU football leagues and I am in 100%.

Please no UFC / NBA / NFL / MLB / Motorsports...

No by all means, the more colors used the better. Cheesy

As for buwaytress suggestions.
Fantasy league type competitions take alot of time to get organized and this is one commodity I have less and less of lately.
I had one person in the thread (who actually won the MM in this year Smiley) ask me if I knew about a crypto-based casino which offered such a market for fantasy type play.
I said I didn't because as far as I know there are none. Now I don't know if it the same for being time consuming to organize or if they just wouldn't have any providers which have spent the effort to enable it on their customers end or not.

Top 4 Challenge

10-11 games are remaining between the 2nd- 8th of what seems to be the world most champions league spot battle between 8 great teams separated by a little points margins. This could be a hall of fame between the pundits on the forum to drop their top 4 final rankings. This is the best time to drop it as it might look somehow obvious after the next round of play before the international break.


Another exciting Laliga campaign as the race for the title is still hitting up every weekend follows by the champions league Top4 battle as 6 teams are fighting it all out to occupy the space, with just 12- 13 games remaining.


You may have forgotten the great battle in Rome as the old Ladies are about to be dethroned by the awaken beasts from the great City of Milan after 9 years in slubber. This is a fight between The Big Grass Snake (Inter) and The Devil (Ac Milan) as the Top4 fight is hitting up between the Roma empires and other guys from uptown.


@rdbase sorry for painting the thread I'm built different, I'm just trying to make a common sense. What do I know.

Nice win, igor, that's what I call last entry luck, to hit it all on the head precisely!
No, no man, you got it wrong. Last entry win is not a result of luck it is a result of waiting for the last moment to be informed as much as possible to make that informed selection. If it was a sport I know something about I would never have made my picks before last games were even played. There was that injury and then sub for all star game. Of course I had no idea about any of that and still got 2nd / 3rd place, that is luck  Grin

LOL Trofo yeah, yeah I know.  But as leea pointed out above, sometimes you just get lucky;) I know for sure I've won big out of pure luck and choosing outcomes or numbers on nostalgia (won my big trip with sportsbet for choosing my fav player's jersey number, for example). My problem when playing very close to the games is overthinking, especially on parlays. Single games okay, same as event based picks (first scorer, corners etc). But you're a lucky bastard that's for sure =p

@rdbase: I'm up for some kind of long-term MM for all the Europe leagues. We could do it like, who finishes higher (points) and do a 1 x 2, like say:

West Brom vs Fulham
Inter vs AC
etc etc.

There's still about 10 games left in all the leagues;) could be fun!

Or a fantasy league MM. Player vs PLayer and see who earns the most fantasy points (can just use ESPN or some other site I don't know who offers fantasy). Can still be 1x2;)
e.g.
Salah vs Lukaku
Alisson vs Henderson

Then we could do it every week;)

Was just pondering if anyone would be interested in having a competition for who will win their leagues nearing the end of their seasons?
Such as Manchester City taking the EPL, which is obvious by now. Embarrassed
So maybe exclude them out.

But Bundesliga , Superliga Argentina, Dutch Eredivisie, Primeira Liga, la liga , ligue 1 and serie A.
Would be the contenders for their respective leagues to be offered as the options.
So what does everybody think of having this as an upcoming challenge for free bets offered as the prizes?
Good idea but we gonna wait for ages as there are still 10-12 matches to play plus international break. I'm not a patient gambler. Predicting the EPL relegation battle, Top4, and highest goal scorer would be a nice ideal as these options are still unpredictable. I'm Just trying to make a common sense  Grin
If there was one on these final winners then of course the free bet would reflect having to wait for these seasons to end months in advance.
So it would be an ongoing one while we can have other ones in progress while waiting for these results to come in.
It was only an option. But it is a valid point and thus progression in this discussion which is always welcomed.
Thank you igehhh mate. Wink

I won MM old one here from luck too,,, made my picks without thinking too much. And then when I started thinking hard trying to win a second time it did not go well although yes came close a few times (I still remember my winning pick I think was against Arsenal when they were highly on form and the match ended up with a single Vardy goal to win!).

Such is the fortunes of gambling sometimes:)

Thank you guys
Yes, I was very lucky, especially in the dunk tournament with Simons winning. Curry was a sure bet, he is one of the best shooters in NBA history, Sabonis lost the last round in last years skill challenge so I thought that he would come strong this year

Almost a complete opposite performance from me, totally missed all the picks I made, so that's one hell of a way to sweept 1st place (especially Sabonis at +700 not bad at all man).

I know I asked in SB thread but does anyone know where to get UCL outrights? Thinking of putting some equal money on Lazio, Barca and Juve to each find a way to qualify for QFs.

Congrats to Igoremr for predicting all three, man I was so close to hitting three as well but I went with my gut on LaVine.

I see @Trofo also got two predictions correctly does that mean we're both tied for second and third place ?  Grin
Yes you two are the second & third place winners of this competition respectively.
Congratulations and you can claim both your prizes of the freebets and the jerseys of your choice by just pm'ing steve with you usernames on the site.

While checking my bets on the MMA last night I noticed with a little bit of searching there are markets available for the NBA All-star weekend skills competition on Sportsbet.io after all! Grin

https://sportsbet.io/sports/basketball/usa/nba-all-star-game/outrights

So those are the final line-ups to choose from.

Good luck everyone!

Hello everyone! Man I have no idea about basketball, I even signed up for TopShots (collectibles) but didn't participate because I had no idea if they were worth anything. Is Yao Ming really retired? I'm so old =p

Anyway. Trying to pick some peeps based on perceived name rarity. I'm going to win this, I can feel it.

1. Jayson Tatum
2. Obi Toppin
3. Nikola Vucevic
