This would be the best case scenario for now until we find another that is suitable and would accomodate every needs in this case. Well if you are ever in doubt, You can always put your hope in steve's multimagic pick

I probably would leave out Everton in this case and just put in Liverpool, as they are doing extremely good in Champions League or probably go for the safer option of Both team to score for Liverpool and City

here is my MM this week

Arsenal FC - Aston Villa FC - 1
Atalanta BC - Inter Milano - x
Atletico Mineiro MG - CR Flamengo RJ - x
Bayer Leverkusen - Borussia Monchengladbach - 2
Borussia Dortmund - Bayern Munich - 2

@buwaytress
I don't envy you man, to be first to receive this free bet. You know that quote "With great power comes great responsibility"
Whatever gets done with the free bet I am fine with it, if don't reach a consensus just do what you think is best.

Guys, yeah, endless discussions about how to use it, so maybe we just leave it to the guy who gets the freebet to use it as they best please? Would anyone have a problem with that? We just take turns receiving it, so eventually someone gets it. And they decide how best to use it. I promise I won't be mad if anyone bets it all on 1.1x payout, or 100x;)

Otherwise, tell me what to do with mine as I got the first one =D
My not-so-wise decision would be to use it this weekend on a parlay:
1. Saints win
2. Gunners win
3. Foxes win
around 83/10 odds.

Or, the Mersey parlay (haha). Everton+Liverpool win @9/1

And @ty: instead of copying to gsheets, try opening google drive instead, and upload your excel, and then open it as googlesheets, then save it as googlesheets. All your formulas should copy over!

I entered notblox into the sheet (you can do it too notblox1;) ).

As for this discussion about the freebets, I am fine with basically everything, since I can't receive the freebet anyway, so count me in for all stunts you are trying to do. My suggestion would have been to give the first freebet to rdbase for personal use, since he started this wonderful thread, which is now our MM living room

I would be careful with our consensus picks and better not parlay them Going back to the last MM tables, we nearly always have at least one of them going wrong; only in week 41 we hit all of them, the UNL weekend. And just quick-checking these ~75% consensus picks, they are even doing worse^^

I think it should be something connected to the MM games with clear rules, because otherwise you will have endless discussions in here about the picks and finding consensus will be hard Can also do over parlay always for the first 5 games on the official MM schedule. This would be Sassuolo/Southampton/Everton/Watford/Barca this week. Or the middle 5 or last 5

@buwaytress

I can pimp your googlesheet table a bit to have a better overview of picks made, but will wait for the final decision. I have my table in "normal" Excel and c&p'ing it into googlesheet messes up all the formulas.

Hmm right again about freebet, I think it doesn't work with insurance. Fine. 1.3 min odds it is. So far, here is consensus from 4 people. (Bitcoinhunt3r, you went my no-draw way!): Sassuolo, Watford, Spurs

Here's a googlesheet we can all try fill in ourselves 1, X or 2 after we share ok?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hhWbcAAhw8yVhOGWWsZ_z6S8lTuDVWDAnIbGXgj52qk/edit?usp=sharing

I am not sure you can use insurance with free bet. That is why I mentioned just the boost and 1.3 odds. If it works with insurance and you are willing to give yours to the cause than by all means we should go with odds over 1.5 and 5 games to use it.

In case we go for much more games (8+) I think it is better that you save your insurance, odds of us actually missing just one game drop very fast when we add more games.

here's my idea about the freebet:

what if, we all pick someone to receive the freebet every week, then this person has to place the freebet in a single or multi bet with odds close to the numbers of participants who submitted their MM picks the week before? for instance, last week, 11 users submitted their MM picks according to @tyKiwanuka 's table, so this week the user with the fb will have to place it in a 11.00 odds (or close to that) event. This way, if it hits, the user can split the winnings with the rest of the MM participants (5mbtc in 11 odds event = 55 or so mBtc. 55mbtc / 11 users = 0.005 mbtc to each users personal wallet).

anyways, will edit this post with MM picks in a little bit my picks:

Arsenal FC - Aston Villa FC - 1
Atalanta BC - Inter Milano - 2
Atletico Mineiro MG - CR Flamengo RJ - 1
Bayer Leverkusen - Borussia Monchengladbach - 1
Borussia Dortmund - Bayern Munich - 2
Everton FC - Manchester United FC - X
FC Barcelona - Real Betis Balompie - 1
Lazio Roma - Juventus Turin - 2
Leicester City FC - Wolverhampton Wanderers FC - 1
Manchester City FC - Liverpool FC - 1
Sassuolo Calcio - Udinese Calcio - 1
Southampton FC - Newcastle United FC - X
Valencia CF - Real Madrid - 2
Watford FC - Coventry City - 1
West Bromwich Albion - Tottenham Hotspur FC - 2

man, this is why i like it when we have mBtc fixed prizes or rates for anything crypto related    edit* just read ur post and Trofo's about the freebet, i like it  

Ederson + MAtip to score will make us probably a million;)

Trofo great point. We go only for 1.5 odds and above, and 5-legs to enjoy free insurance, and keep it simple to 1x2 markets yeah? I'll reserve my insurance to make this bet...

I support 75% consensus. TY if you share your editable table on a googlesheet, we can help just fill in our own stuff to make your life easier! Tabs to keep track of every week too;)

You forgot to add Matip to score and Ederson to score on your bet builder. That should boost the odds nicely

We don't have to do the same thing every week so we can try something this week and then repeat or scrap it for the next.
I sort of like the idea to put money on the games we all find consensus in the table but that puts pressure on tyKiwanuka to make the table on time and you to play the ticket before first game starts.

If we decide to go that route I propose we say 75% is enough of consensus and remove all the games with odds lower than 1.3. That way we will capitalize on sportsbet boost and avoid loosing the ticket on some big favorite which is absolutely the worst way to loose ticket.
If we go this way we are limited with the games and we can only play 1x2 market but it sort of stays in the spirit of MM.

If we go with leagues tyKiwanuka is delegated to Bundesliga and we don't accept no for an answer If I have to choose something my game will be from Premier League.

Whoa Thank you Steve! Big responsibility, now that BITCOIN is $15,000 this is a $75 bet!

OK guys, so I put it down on a Liverpool vs City on Sunday bet builder:
- City to win 1st half, Liverpool to win 2nd half
- Liverpool to win and 2.5 goals
- 3.5 goals in match
- Salah to score any time
- Booking points under 69
- City over 3.5 corners
- Liverpool over 4.5 corners
Total odds: 120/1.

Just kidding. What do you guys want me to do with it? I like the idea of putting it on Watford/Arsenal/Southampton/Flamengo but also like the idea of picking one good match from each of the Big 4 leagues (Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, EPL). Problem with me is I don't like anything below 1.5, and prefer to go for at least one underdog, so, tell me, gentlemen.

goodluck guys! cash it big!

Well done Steve and thanks.

Okay guys!
I have an idea.

Select one or two users who we all trust. They will receive the free bet from sportsbet to bet for all of us. They will share the betslip with us to make everything transparent.

How we will select the markets?

With this free bet we will play a multibet together. Let's not take to much risk. We will have one team from following big leagues:
English premier league
Serie A
France Ligue 1
Germany Bundesliga and
LaLiga


In our group some are good at picking winners from EPL, some are good at Serie A etc. Those who are good at picking their own home leagues will nominate a team. For example: I will feel comfortable to pick a team from PL. So I will contribute on EPL. Like these other four guys will nominate their teams from their local leagues. The reason of picking local leagues for the users is because you will have much information than others about it. So hopefully the chance of winning the nomination will be higher too.

Not sure how you guys will like it but I think this way we will have everyone to have a good conversation and chances of winning some good money from the free bet is also possible.

There are a lot of great ideas suggested on what do we do with the Free Bet and I'm good with what the majority would choose in the end.

If we need to "vote" on something, I'd still go with buway's "$50 for the top/shared". Much simpler (thanks Trofo for pointing out the hole in "$25 $15 $10 to top 3 each week" option)  

Here's my MM picks for this week. If you need to check the betslip, link is here.

Sassuolo - Udinese
Southampton - Newcastle United
Everton - Manchester United
Watford - Coventry City
Barcelona - Real Betis
Borussia Dortmund - Bayern München
Lazio - Juventus
West Bromwich Albion - Tottenham
Leicester City - Wolverhampton
Atalanta - Draw - Inter
Manchester City - Liverpool
Bayer 04 Leverkusen - Borussia M'gladbach
Arsenal - Aston Villa
Valencia - Real Madrid
Atlético Mineiro - Draw - Flamengo

Hi Guys,

For the first week and to get kickstarted with this 50 euro / 5 mbtc free bet for the thread, Ill issue it to "buwaytress" and you guys can decide how best to use it..

Whether one person gets it each week on a rotating basis, or 6 of you put forward one pick and it ends up a 6-leg multi, it's up to you.  

Just let me know next week who is next in line to receive it on your threads behalf and Ill issue it accordingly.  

This is EXCLUSIVELY for you guys on this thread. Good luck and thanks again!  

regards,

Steve!
Sportsbet.io

Just a funny thought!
How about sharing the Free bet between the lowest scoring guys. I mean those who will have lowest correct number of picks they will share the free bet LOL. Think about a situation where a lot of users are making picks to lose their tickets 🤪

On a serious note, I am with the majority. Whatever you guys settle in, I will have no problem in it. Great work sportsbet.io


Nice addition! I missed it totally.

Thanks sportsbet for adding something more to grow the little community we got here.


Well I have something. Let's use the entire 50$ FB to bet on sportsbet partner clubs (Arsenal, Southampton, Watford, and Flamengo). The one who will get the best no. of correct outcomes in takes the FB and makes selection. In case of same no. of correct outcomes by multiple users they can just decide and come to an agreement to make picks. If the FB is a win then the amount goes to a pot lets say "Bitcointalk MM group pot" and we can share it equally, or hold a lotto based on participation at the end of the season. We can also add some rules like minimum of participation of x MM rounds is needed to be eligible for the pot.

It will be fun cheering and betting on SB partners and we also can attract some more MM particpants here to discuss here.

Here goes my MM entry:

Sassuolo - Udinese (Sassuolo)
Southampton - Newcastle (Draw)
Everton - Manchester United (Man Utd.)
Watford - Coventry (Watford)
Borussia Dortmund - Bayern Munich (Bayern Munich)
Lazio - Juventus (Draw)
Barcelona - Real Betis (Barcelona)
West Brom - Tottenham (Tottenham)
Leicester City - Wolves (Leicester)
Atalanta - Inter Milan (Draw)
Manchester City - Liverpool (Manchester City)
Bayer Leverkusen - Borussia gladbach (Leverkusen)
Arsenal - Aston Villa (Draw)
Valencia - Real Madrid (Real Madrid)
Atletico Mineiro - Flamengo (Flamengo)

Yeah the tie breaker would be a problem. Here's another idea

$35 for the top correct pick, $10 for the pool multibet and $5 for random participants randomly picked? This way we will be able to avoid the lousy tiebreaker as probably only one or two people make it with the top correct picks


Yes exactly this so instead of individual multibet this will be consensus multibet with everyone involved. Everyone can pour in ideas or some 'sure win' bet or some other thing. This might seems like a bit of extra work to do but to get atleast 50x odds in multibet is not that hard. Probably around 8 -10 bets will get us over 50x odds.

Another idea --  but I won't make anymore so this doesn't become a mess of ideas haha.

Once we made all our picks, we see a consensus bet (using ty's cool table) and choose a person to make a parlay with SB based on consensus picks. So it's a sort of "crowd wisdom" parlay, assuming we're all wise and intelligent footballing experts (lol).

I go with whatever is decided though, but I will delegate my vote to someone if that's needed (probably Trofo at the moment just because;) ).
