Now I don't know for how long SB plans to keep going with the MM, but I think it would be fun to have some kind of long-ish-term side competitions.

What is everyone thinking about this ?

I sort of expect Sportsbet to continue with MM competition indefinitely. I guess they manage to collect some money from our 0.1mBTC stakes and now they halved the prizes which suggests long term feasibility.

I am all for long term competition, we can wait to see if Steve can secure some more prize money for us but even if he does not I vote that we organize something ourselves. We can make it as pay per enter competition or maybe few of us can donate some satoshis to the cause. Sort of like some of you already did.

Temporary forum vacation

So sad to see myself lying in 11th place with the main leaderboard, but happy for the fame points;) We all failed on the last pick as Flamengo had the huge upset,,, but I guess it was such a huge risk to pick Ceara, and then we would have ended up sharing 1st spot with 4 other people anyway.

Seems like this was one of the toughest weeks with only 9?

Do you plan a reset of the table soon?

I didn't plan to reset anything because all-time is all-time^^ and the other table basically gets reset with every new MM and people can join (and leave) freely. But your post inspired me to actually have a seperate table for 2021, while keeping the all-time table, which I will then post only from time to time. And here it is:

And while looking at this, considering the fact Steve and his boss like what we are doing here and have been throwing in and offering some extra prizes for us in the past, I thought that we could maybe have some small quarterly rewards for a) most fame points and/or b) best average (elgible users must have joined like 80% of the time), which SB could maybe maybe just maybe sponsor Wink

Now I don't know for how long SB plans to keep going with the MM, but I think it would be fun to have some kind of long-ish-term side competitions.

What is everyone thinking about this ?

Thanks for the wonderful rundown, as usual, ty! Yeah, I haven't won in this group for ages, I know I do have a tendency to pick one or two big upsets, such a shame about Ceara not even bringing me close to home, but yeah, one of these days, I'll bag top prize just because of that one final unlikely outcome;)

No Flamengo next weekend? Boo;)

I kinda expected you'd have a restart in 2021 and hoped to hop on board, I like these kind of forum - type competitions - especially with such detailed statistics.

I know I can join now, but I was just wondering if you planned a restart at any point?

-sniped-

Im so bad. I only had 1 correct pick for the last 5 matches. You know it looks real decent when you had 5 correct picks while the player on top of the leaderboard only has 6. That was the moment that I think I might have a shot to get to the top this time but nope not this time again. This is also a great week though with only 13 matches

Every time when we are going on very heavily with Flamengo they are giving us shock match just end with 0 - 2 for away win

Last two or three Flamengo wins really makes most of us think that this time Flamengo will win again.

@buwaytress : nice hit on the away win. Normally most of us would be picking a draw instead or home win on Flamengo's match

Here are the results:

This won't be enough for a prize for our 3 leaders unfortunately, but you will get 33.33 fame points each of course^^

If we assume Atletico and Southampton would have won their matches, our average would have been 7.95 which is quite good then. A special mention goes out to @buwaytress who opposed Flamengo, would have been fun, if you won the MM with going against Flamengo in last game Grin

The good news is: Flamengo doesn't play next weekend.

All-time stats:

Trofo takes his sixth win overall and moves up to #2 in fame points after a drought of 13 weeks.
entebah scores his first win after 5 participations in total and with an average of 8.2 over these.

Our host rdbase had a new worst performance this week, although this should be with an asterisk due to the two postponed games Wink

buwaytress is waiting to add to his fame points since September 5th 2020, which is the longest streak currently.

See you next week

Only Flamengo match left on this multimaster and most of us picked a home win so there is no chance of changing who the winners are, and I think we have 3 of them with eight correct picks so far.
I hope for better score and no delayed matches next week.

Every time when we are going on very heavily with Flamengo they are giving us shock match just end with 0 - 2 for away win just @buwaytress is going to take point all others with zero mean very bad end of this MM for again after winning in last round.

but given how 5/8 is the top result now

Actually 11 people have 6 correct picks now after the leaderboard was updated. So with the remaining 5 matches to go, few people could have hit 11 and share the prizes or there will be gazillion of people that ended up with 10 correct picks and share the 150mbtc. It still is a good amount even if 30 people ended up sharing this for 5mbtc each ($197)

Quote from: buwaytress on January 10, 2021, 04:57:05 AM

Many 5 picks right, eh guys? And only 1 draw results (Arsenal Newcastle, who else haha) which arallmuus got putting his nicely on 5/5 with the rest of you;) If only Watford had won, I'd be on 4/4 with almost everyone in the list haha!

To be honest Im quite surprised that Im the only one that picked a draw for Arsenal . I mean like its Arsenal, cant expect much from them so a draw would be most likely to happen

If only I didnt go for a draw on Leipzig vs Dortmund, I would have ended up with 6 right now. I should have put my faith on Haaland to carry Dortmund out there.

Only 1 upset pick left for me and the other 4 are favourites to win pick

tyKiwanuka, thanks for keeping track and presenting the info in such a lovely table! I'm glad to see myself in the top, but of course with 5 games to go and 10 people having 5 correct picks at this point, the chances of getting to the final selection of top guessers are slim, and the situation can still change a lot even for those who didn't get 5 picks yet.
buwaytress, some of us hypothetically can get 10/13, of course, but given how 5/8 is the top result now (excluding the 2 postponed games), I don't think the highest number of correct picks will be above 8 this time.

The early curse strikes again with Bayern I still can't believe Gladbach pulled the win after going down 0-2.

Currently I only have three correct picks so far that means i'm out since the leaders are two picks ahead and good luck to all you guys who have five correct picks.

10/15 games "decided" and we have a big armada of 10 people in the lead:

The sportsbet leaderboard shows 11 guys with 5 correct picks and ManU shouldn't be included yet, so lots of them will have 6 correct most likely.

Identical remaining picks from the 5 correct picks guys:

Trofo & entebah
jeremypwr & LFC_Bitcoin & Woohler

leea-1334 has two quite unique picks for the five remaining games, if you hit the X's for Napoli and Ajax, you might jump to the top of the leaderboard.

Damn Arsenal played 0:0 in regular time with Newcastle...
I had a feeling they may do this, but I relied more on terrible Newcastle to lose, and they even had great chance to win in last minutes of stoppage time.

One more match for today and I see a lot of lineups changes for Manchester United vs Watford.

So I saw the results for today's MM games so far and it was only then that I discovered that I picked a draw for the Benevento vs Atalanta fixture which is Infact a mistake from my end. Moving forward, I will endeavor to cross-check my picking before submitting them. Leipzig vs Dortmund match is currently underway. I had Leipzig to win this one but no goal so far.

They are not giving the match up, they did not have the choice. Whole first team is in isolation due to covid outbreak. They even lost a couple of best U23 players because they were good enough to train with the first team. Even coach is in isolation. I really don't understand why they did not get the postponement. I herd something like there is no available dates but this is tough on Villa. Or you can look at it as karma for trashing liverpool when they were playing youngsters and celebrating like crazy.

Yeah I found out while watching too from what the commentators were saying. I guess it was similar somewhat to the previous season. Klopp wanted a postponement, and FA didn't grant it. Could have been the same in this case, though I wonder why FA can't make exceptions in what is clearly a tough, tough situation.

I do remember the 5-0 win and Villa celebrating like they beat Real Madrid. Nice to see Mane, Gini and Salah tone down celebrations.

Oh and why did I NOT back Gladbach upset? I wanted to...

@ty yep, I love self-jinxing myself... eff me, seriously.

Its pretty rare for you to go for these kind of upset pick.

Well, I had the draw, which looked kind of reasonable and not a very big upset when I submitted my bet. But then Covid striked Tongue

Quote from: arallmuus on January 08, 2021, 03:17:41 PM

Does the postponed match counted as a win for everyone? Someone 'might' hit 14/14 though but the rules clearly says that you need to hit 15/15 for the extra prize

No one will have 15/15 or 14/14 anway, so doesn't matter, but I think Sportsbet would still pay out the 1.5BTC. In fact you can only get 13/13 for this week, since Atletico game is postponed as well due to snow. And phew there is lots of snow in Madrid rn, Bilbao wasn't able to travel to the capital Grin
