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!

Topic: Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev - page 244. (Read 64354 times)
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.
SB will drop out of USA, UK, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands and Estonia
Wow, that's some news! Can you share a little bit more information about this?
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 
Stake is also dropping out some big markets. I got this in VIP channel:Quote
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'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
Edit:my predictions, this one was very tough, I got no clue about any games except Champions League. May the force be with us

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.
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.

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.

This is a wild mix this time with games from 10 different countries/leagues
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.
Don't think Barca will win inside 90 minutes, Bayern just too good atm, draw is better, if you look to have something unique I would look for big-ish upsets in leagues that just started, like BRA/RUS.

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.

It's already time for this week's multimaster
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?
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.
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
^^
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.
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.

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?
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.
@morvillz7z has a nightmare of a MM this weekend, you need some better tricks to get the better of the jinx-God 
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
This time we found consensus on five matches btw (Juve, Perth, Jiangsu, Sp. Moscow and Rosenborg).
They even lost 0-4 (92.min)
I watched that Nagoya - Urawa match and that was fun. 5-0 at half-time already, 6-2 FT

Melbourne Victory trounced on Perth Glory 3-0 just an hour ago so my 160,000+ betslip is a dud. 
Don't worry all of us had Melbourne as well. They even lost 0-4 (92.min)

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

^^ Nah! There is not such thing about posting it early to impose a jinx.
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!

@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

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.
