@morvillz7z has a nightmare of a MM this weekend, you need some better tricks to get the better of the jinx-God Grin rdbase also not lucky with his picks so far, while ralle14 (you can only win 100mBTC max), Trofo and me are doing ok-ish, but better to prepare for next weekend already. JanpriX and buwaytress still in the race, but not sure, if on top. If you win, you will both only win 150mBTC max though, since you have exactly the same picks. But good luck anyway Smiley



This time we found consensus on five matches btw (Juve, Perth, Jiangsu, Sp. Moscow and Rosenborg).



Melbourne Victory trounced on Perth Glory 3-0 just an hour ago so my 160,000+ betslip is a dud. Embarrassed
Don't worry all of us had Melbourne as well.  Grin

They even lost 0-4 (92.min) Grin

I watched that Nagoya - Urawa match and that was fun. 5-0 at half-time already, 6-2 FT Cheesy



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.

Only the champions league matches left for today and my predictions ain't looking that good only four out of the seven.

On the other hand steve's multi magic is still alive and happy to see my name in the leaderboard at the 25th spot  Cheesy

^^ Nah! There is not such thing about posting it early to impose a jinx. Grin
Only one out of three for me so it is just the luck of the draw I guess.

Talking about the NBA,
Maybe steve can persue them to put together a ALL NBA multimasters edition since there are only two weeks left before the playoffs.
There are certainly enough games being played per day to accommodate having 15 matches within 2-3 days to cover it.
Now that would be fun! Wink

@morvillz7z @JanpriX where are your picks ?

Yeah sorry, i didn't want to post mine today, thought i might jinx it.
But it's all over now, my 153,653 mBTC ticket is busted, thanks to Man City and Varane.
Need Khimki to win to get back in the game, this is the only underdog i've backed this round.

I've updated my post - here!


@Steve what happen to NBA promo page? It was 2 week promo, 1st week finished today, but now I can't see that promo listing.

Post in the main Sportsbet.io thread, better chance Steve sees your post there.

Good start for most of us, but I guess 90% of the users had home wins for both, so nothing to win here - only to lose. This is the first time in ages that I have the Friday pick(s) correct. @morvillz7z @JanpriX where are your picks ?

I have a bad feeling about my picks only two underdogs I could've picked more but it might kill my chances like last time. I just notice that I nearly have the same exact picks as tyKi except for the draws and atletico  Cheesy

Juventus - Olympique Lyonnais (Juventus)
Manchester City - Real Madrid (Man City)
Perth Glory - Melbourne Victory (Perth)
Nagoya Grampus Eight - Urawa Red Diamonds (Nagoya)
Yokohama F. Marinos - Kashiwa Reysol (Kashiwa)
FK Khimki - CSKA Moscow (Moscow)
Tambov - FC Rostov (Tambov)
Barcelona - Napoli (Barcelona)
Bayern München - Chelsea (Bayern)
Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao - Shandong Luneng Taishan (Guangzhou)

Guangzhou R&F - Jiangsu Suning (Suning)
Spartak Moscow - FC Sochi (Spartak)
Rosenborg BK - Sarpsborg 08 (Rosenborg)

Other bets I have for today are Juve to qualify @1.9 and steve's multi magic which is basically all of the home team in the champion's league to win.

This time I placed bets AGAINST some of my MM picks, like Lyon for example (hard to ignore almost 7/1 against a Juve team that were obviously looking like they were petering off toward the end of Serie A). I know it's a dumb bet because the French will be rusty af but still, I guess I like throwing money away haha.

End of season is really making me do funny things this time around. Sigh.

Why thank you very much for that pretty spreadsheet then.

I've also just put in a dollar for the GP Sports Guru (the last time I joined only 3 guys played haha) so let's see what happens this time, $200 extra if you get all right 8/8 heh.

Anyway, my totally useless picks, again no single draw. Also my first time I have a total winnigs of under 1 BTC, so maybe I win this eh?:

Juventus - Olympique Lyonnais 1
Manchester City - Real Madrid 2
Perth Glory - Melbourne Victory 1
Nagoya Grampus Eight - Urawa Red Diamonds 1
Yokohama F. Marinos - Kashiwa Reysol 1
FK Khimki - CSKA Moscow 2
Tambov - FC Rostov 2
Barcelona - Napoli 1
Bayern München - Chelsea 1
Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao - Shandong Luneng Taishan 1
Cerezo Osaka - FC Tokyo 2
Guangzhou R&F - Jiangsu Suning 2
Spartak Moscow - FC Sochi 1
Rosenborg BK - Sarpsborg 08 1
Flamengo - Atlético Mineiro 1

Can you believe I've actually bet on all these teams before, including China and Japan? I feel weird now actually seeing every selection a familiar name =D

Yes, don't worry guys, everything will be taken care of Grin I already started and Trofo and I agree on 8 matches, which is not a lot, but I made some brave selections to have all 300mBTC pour moi alone, lol:

^^ I agree the spreadsheet should be an ongoing thing and it makes it more pleasing on the eyes to see who had which matches right and which one everyone got completely wrong about. Embarrassed
I'll post my selections for this week's later in the week as never bet on a ruskie football match before. Cheesy

First rounds are already hard enough and I don't follow RUS1 at all Roll Eyes Can't remember any MM that had so many different leagues (of which I have no clue), so I am expecting to have very few correct picks. So feel free to oppose me, I would think there are at least 10 wrong picks in there^^

Juventus - Olympique Lyonnais
Manchester City - Real Madrid
Perth Glory - Melbourne Victory
Nagoya Grampus Eight - Urawa Red Diamonds
Yokohama F. Marinos - Kashiwa Reysol
FK Khimki - CSKA Moscow DRAW
Tambov - FC Rostov
Barcelona - Napoli
Bayern München - Chelsea DRAW
Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao - Shandong Luneng Taishan
Cerezo Osaka - FC Tokyo

As I dont think anyone has managed to get 14 or even the impossible of having all selections guessed correct from when they started this promotion.

Vaguely recall that one of the Esports multi masters someone finished 14 correct picks, one or two of those games were postponed back then, and everybody given a win on those selections. I'm pretty confident someone will take down the grand prize...it will happen!

New MM is up by the way, not a midweek edition but we get 4 CL matches, a bunch of Asian matches (my prayers have not been heard lol), some Russian as well + Flamengo's opening game vs. Atlético Mineiro.

For the lazy:

Juventus - Olympique Lyonnais
Manchester City - Real Madrid draw
Perth Glory - Melbourne Victory
Nagoya Grampus Eight - Urawa Red Diamonds draw
Yokohama F. Marinos - Kashiwa Reysol
FK Khimki - CSKA Moscow
Tambov - FC Rostov draw
Barcelona - Napoli
Bayern München - Chelsea draw
Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao - Shandong Luneng Taishan
Cerezo Osaka - FC Tokyo draw
Guangzhou R&F - Jiangsu Suning
Spartak Moscow - FC Sochi
Rosenborg BK - Sarpsborg 08
Flamengo - Atlético Mineiro draw

Leaderboard shows two users with 5 correct picks and I assume the ITA1 games haven't been added yet, since I am showing up with 4 correct ones after Arsenal game. So we are out of contention guys, better luck next weekend Grin
I currently have three but didn't made it in the leaderboard, can't believe those two were able to hit 5/6 maybe there's still a glimmer of chance left if one of us hit everything then at the same time they do terrible on the last five matches.  Wink

Curious to see the updated standings once the Serie A matches are settled.
You were in 1st place when I checked the leaderboard early on day two of the competition. Grin

It didn't update until late yesterday evening with one sole winner having 12 correct.
As I waited over 3 hours after the final match with leece and parma finishing and thought they had 11 correct.
Still becoming an outright winner and took the entire prize for the weeks multimaster.
That means he must of had both the PSG draw and the Bright(chinese super league) draw as well.
It is nearly an elite level of being a sportsguru to have only 3  wrong for the entire betslip for this multi. Cool

Can we please not have any Chinese/Japanese/Korean leagues included ever again, Scandinavian matches would do just fine, hell i'd rather bet on Hungarian division II...

Grin You went 3-2 with the asian matches this weekend, the rest 2-8, so you better wish for more asian matches^^ On a more serious note, it doesn't matter imo which matches/leagues they choose, you would always need a lot of luck to top the list. And I rather finish with 5 correct picks than with 10 while the winner has 11. In the end all people know more about EPL/La Liga/Serie A, so this should even out again, but not sure.

@JanpriX has won our internal contest with 8 correct picks, but unfortunately there is no prize for it:



On a positive note, we were very good with our picks, where we found consensus, 3-1 with those ones.



Does anyone have any idea or did Sportsbet ever reveal how many users participate in the MM's ? Looking at the leaderboard, #50 still has 8 correct picks, then there are probably gazillions of people with 5-7 correct picks and fewer with 0-4. So my guess would be maybe 300-400 (?).

Three of the last four MM i finish with 5 or less correct picks, that's just sad and embarrassing. They should bring back E-Sports MMs as i used to get better results there. Grin

Next weekends edition should include the CL matches, but I am all for a midweek edition, since there are 8 EL matches, 6 chinese matches and then toss in some match from Australia maybe.

Nothing to brag about with our MM picks Roll Eyes
Damn, if I knew you would make such nice graphic I would have found time to post my predictions as well. Doesn't make sense to post now. Anyway my situation is similar as with all of you. I have 4 or 5 correct picks at the moment. Hope for better luck next week.

Really tough MM
Few days ago when I saw the matches for this MM, I immediately realized that this was not for me so I did not even bother to make any picks. I am more into PL matches and it seems until the next season starts I will have hard time LOL
