So I thought I did shit with only 3 right ones so far but knowing the leaders had 6 makes me feel a bit better about myself. A bit. The Russian picks all more or less went as predicted but I can't remember what the odds were for the ones I picked as draws. Anyway.

I picked City for this but bet on Lyon, so I guess I'm feeling all right about this haha. I'm really looking forward to next season's MM! SB is really giving away so much money for this though, I hope they can keep it up!

20 users have six correct picks after the RUS matches. Only few - if any - will have picked Lyon win, so at least ralle14 seems to be still in contention:



Even if we mixed all our selections and were allowed to always take the best/correct one, we wouldn't do any better than the leaders Tongue

Now waiting for morvillz7z to surprise us with his picks and 8/8 so far Cool

Last maybe Real Zaragoza look have big chance to get winner, you only take time how to choose Zaragoza for your favorite
gambling sport way. They have long time not on the top spanish football league and try hard how to get winner and give best
chance for their supporter to see Zaragoza on the top league again, well many good chooses like Rostov ves Zenit Sain Pperesburg because they have celebrate become the champion of russia league and not will serious to play on tonight, give chance for their young player to get many time for matching.

LOLS at me, the 2 draws I picked were both wins to the away teams, which is what I normally pick when I can't see a winner. 3 strikes out of 3 so far, so I might as well say I've lose this one.

Anyone picked Steve's Multi Magic? It's WAY in profit with 4 wins so far so I've picked it again, even though I don't know anyone in there except Flamengo!

This is what I have collected thus far:



Consensus found on three games, but morvillz7z & JanpriX could spoil the party still: St. Petersburg, ManCity and Rosenborg. The Sydney match will be interesting, because they have been doing really poor recently, but are already locked in first place, while WU can still move up the rankings.

It's really interesting to see, to how many different conclusions we few people come already. So one can imagine how easy it is for the bookmakers to balance their book for most of the matches. For those "obvious" wins, where balancing is difficult, they just offer low-ish odds and thus have a value bet or hedge in other places. Like Bertholt Brecht said:

Aiming for 9 correct predictoins this time. I feel like we'll see a lot of matches ending up with a draw this week since there's a few matches that have more stake on the line (promotions, play out etc). I hope i'm wrong though since I only picked one draw out of the 15.  Cheesy

FC Barcelona - FC Bayern Munchen (Bayern)
Perugia Calcio Spa - Delfino Pescara 1936 (Perugia)
Puebla FC - CF Pachuca (Pachuca)
Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo - Kawasaki Frontale (Kawasaki)
Sydney FC - Western United (Sydney)
FK Lokomotiv Moscow - FC Krasnodar (Draw)
FC Rostov - FK Zenit Saint Petersburg (Zenit)
Manchester City - Olympique Lyonnais (Man City)
Coritiba FC PR - CR Flamengo Rj (Flamengo)
CF Monterrey - Necaxa (Monterrey)
Kashima Antlers - Vissel Kobe (Kashima)

SB will drop out of USA, UK, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands and Estonia, so thats it anyway with the MM. Good luck for those for whom it will be the last chance as well this weekend Smiley
Stake is also dropping out some big markets. I got this in VIP channel:

Please avoid using VPN's located in US/NL/AU. There's been a slight change to the message received if you connect from these countries which makes the site harder to access. Sorry for any inconvenience!
Stake is unable to offer services to people from these countries, however we do not want to inconvenience people due to an incorrect VPN location.
Are there some new laws getting out or what? It seems strange that these two betting giants decided to drop from some areas at the same time but not the same areas. Weird.
I received the very same message a couple of hours ago from their VIP channel on telegram.
Very unfortunate and did not know it also affected sportsbet.io players as well.
The funny thing is, the owner(s) are from those affected areas and have had to connect using a VPN on they own casino to be able to play during their livestreams every weekend now since these laws have been enforced. Undecided

Thanks for the reminder rd;) I knew I forgot something! Actually made my picks as soon as MM was issued but just forgot to share it here!

And re the Netherlands, it was some time last year, in September I believe, that the government wanted to re-regulate online gambling -- so it's definitely a move SB already made last year at least for NL that I know of. It must be the same for the other jurisdictions.

My very good picks, feel free to follow and win big, 2.9 BTC!

FC Barcelona - FC Bayern Munchen -- 1
Perugia Calcio Spa - Delfino Pescara 1936 -- X
Puebla FC - CF Pachuca -- X
Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo - Kawasaki Frontale --2

Can you share a little bit more information about this?

No, but this is just for sportsbet.io of course, not sportsbetio.uk. The german SB representative posted it in our local board (they wanted to sponsor a Bundesliga tipping competition). I didn't hear about any new regulations recently and also can't find anything in the bigger betting forums. There is always something brewing at least here, but with few results and betting companies suing authorities and what else. But it was said, that 2021 is the earliest when new regulations would come - maybe it's just precaution from SB/Stake.

I'll put my picks here in this post later today when I play the ticket. Too bad this is last MM for many of us. I really liked your table coverage of our picks, added another dimension to the game. If I can't get ITM at least I can kick some forum ass Smiley

Edit:my predictions, this one was very tough, I got no clue about any games except Champions League. May the force be with us  Cool

Also with you mentioning everytime you are posting the weekend list, it isn't about being lazy for those who don't choose to write their picks each and every week.
It is a matter of having the time to. Cheesy
But if you do, then by all means go ahead. Each and everybody is free to do it how they would like to post their picks for this weekly competition.
I just find it more convenient for myself to just take them directly from the site since I have been doing this way from the very start of this thread.
But it is all down to personal preference. We're all individuals and that would reflect in each and all of our selections as well. Smiley

Sorry if you felt offended by it, won't happen again and I didn't mean to discredit anyone.

Your correct because barcelona are a team which can not keep form when they know they have lost their league title so their tires are deflated after that. So this is the reason they I went with the bundesliga champions instead in that match. Wink

This is a wild mix this time with games from 10 different countries/leagues Shocked And having mexican games is a first I think.

I would like to have an over/under 2.5 MM. SB can maybe put 20 games in it to lower the chances of someone winning the 3 BTC, but would be great/more fun imo and provide some variety.

I'll go with barca this time because there is always a few upsets and of course those pesky draw matches to guess who will have em.

Don't think Barca will win inside 90 minutes, Bayern just too good atm, draw is better, if you look to have something unique Smiley I would look for big-ish upsets in leagues that just started, like BRA/RUS.

It's already time for this week's multimaster Smiley

Who's in for these games?

It seemed most of the chinese league ones in the last one were all draws. Atleast the ones I didn't have them set up as draws were.
The A-league game should be the easiest to predict as their season is coming to close soon.

We all got screwed by the draws, I was telling people I need to start considering them from next season but psychologically, I just hate a draw and hate to think teams want to settle for them haha. Sochi ruined it for all of us too and me on another parlay sigh.

3 of us got 9s, so is this minipool full of good people?Wink

I'm ok with the minipool suggestion but my fear is I have so much on my hands going on now!

Guys, btw, we've got great pools running for English, Spanish and Italian leagues next season. Sportsbet as you may know already splashed out sponsorship for the English Premier League (now in Season 3 on bitcointalk), so you should join that one at least.

With the last game not looking too good either, except for tyKiwanuka. Cheesy

Hehe, yes, got lucky there, but I was out already before unfortunately.

Good performance from 3 of us, but won't be enough imo. Leaderboard is showing 6 users with 9 correct picks and it's missing the Rosenborg & Flamengo game I would assume. At least one of these users will surely have Rosenborg win, which puts him at 10 then.



See you next weekend Cheesy

The last game is the flamengo game and it shows on the original list of games played along with their start times.

I have five games so far which is not even a third of them right. Thats really bad. With the last game not looking too good either, except for tyKiwanuka. Cheesy
Would of had 6 games correctly picked but Sochi had a penalty kick at the 88' mark to tie their game with spartak moscow and screwed up everybody's pick here. Roll Eyes

I just thought of something. Why don't we run some internal tournament in this thread and we'll use our MM picks to select the winner from it. We'll be doing this on a weekly basis (as long as we have MM). What do you think?  Cheesy

I thought about that as well, but it's a bit weary to organize/run and keep people interested. You would need to have 5+ users joining the pool regularly to make it worthwhile and I don't know, if this possible longterm. But I would participate, if someone organizes such thing.

I am playing multimaster every week no mater what so if somebody decides to organize something like this I'm in.

Is there a way to know what is the last game that is counted on the leader board? I am solid this week but it is difficult to judge exactly what are my chances without knowing how many games is already counted.
