True.
I meant we are seeing the same thing as in the sportsbet specials screen as you can see from the capture below.

When I click on the drop down for the MLB special it does not show anything for it below.
If there was anything to display for it, then it would be a couple of hours before the match whichever that they decide that maybe to be able to place a wager on.
Just like for the other specials for the EPL. Those were only available for a limited time as well. And gone roughly 45 minutes to an 1 hour before the match had begun.

J league at 4-3-free! https://sportsbet.io/sports/4-3-free

Osaka generally the favourite but I avoid them and Kashima Antlers unless they're the underdog (go figure they only perform when they're expected to lose).


Oh I love those Super Boosts. Take them every damned time!

But I think we're still talking about different things haha. The "What's Hot" list doesn't contain the ad hoc sports daily specials, so as you can see, there are no NBA or MLB or Brasilian league specials listed on those dates, because those appear ad hoc, for some hours, randomly. The evolution of Specials as I recall:
- Started out as a Steve Multi Magic, price boosted accas.
- Changed later to price boosted accas and/or betbuilder types. Announced in a ClubTalk specials channel, active only for 1/2 hours.
- Then was made available for about 8 hours, once in the (server time) morning, and then a fresh batch in the afternoon.
- Now back to random posting, only available for a few hours.

If they aren't available, the categories aren't even there and you get a message saying Error Unavailable.

What's Hot shows price boosts and events. I'm talking about Boosted acca or betbuilder type specials like "Warriors to win and Curry to score over 30 points" or "Botafago to win and Under 2.5 goals".

You had Finnish 3rd league all this time while UNL was still going if you wanted some propper football 

Kidding aside, since we have World Cup in winter all top leagues will start much sooner, so we have just a bit more than one month to wait for proper football. I'll be watching mostly tennis untill then.

This is exactly what I saw when I checked right before I mentioned it on the thread.
I can see the category but when I clicked on the sport MLB under specials it was blank.
Yet they would of appeared closer to when the matches started but I wasn't available to check two-three hours before the MLB games began today.
From the link I posted above of WhatsHot they list the times of when those specific promotions during the course of the day begins.
So they should be available to see by then. You just needed to click on the day of the week to see today and then the following days there after to view them all.
I made a fair share off the boosts for those table games listed. An extra 15% on top of our winnings isn't half bad.
Wouldn't you agree?

I know. Didn't take a screenshot but what I meant was, there WAS a special available, it just wasn't showing. When they're not (and I do check them a lot), there simply isn't a category appearing, or it was Event Unavailable.

This one was active, the category/market was there, but the actual selection wasn't loading. Pretty common Sportsbet book problem really, markets showing up but selections not. Was just curious to see what they were. My BoSox went from almost-there last season to almost-shit this one. Ha. They've been doing really well last 10 games though, who knows, they turn things around late.

While checking the latest promotions of today did see these MLB specials and lately have been putting some baseball matches in my acca.

@buwaytress It seems these promotions are time based so they only show up at a certain time of that specific day you select from the list which can be viewed here:
https://sportsbet.io/promotions/2022-whatshot

Baseball is a sport thats played in the early afternoon and the evening eastern/central standard time in the North American timezone.
So you will have to adjust to those if you want to see the specials when they are available.

I see specials lit up today, been a while since I managed to catch one, and it's for MLB, but it simply won't load for me (the headline shows, not the actual special to bet on).

Last time that happened to me I gave up and then it proceeded to win so I'm taking this as a sign heh heh.


Yeah man, can't wait! I'd love for the World Cup to also get one special MM round.

I've done those things before though, not for NBA but for NFL and it didn't help me much at all. On the other hand, picking randomly or choosing the underdog consciously has helped in these weird picks.

UNL is absolutely 100% totally idiotic (I knew what you were referring to because you said idiotic and worthless). I did win ONE ticket, but not enough to cover losses from every other losing ticket.

The 22' NBA Draft is next week (Thursday, 23rd), and i'm pretty positive we'll get a Multi-Master for that occasion.

You will do yourself a favor if you check some draft boards/mock drafts in advance, see the current trends, and how the best NBA prospects are being ranked atm. Even if you're not a basketball fan, it's probably more fun than betting/predicting and watching those idiotic and worthless UNL matches. Speaking of UNL, i'm glad it's over (for the time being), and i can't wait for the Norwegian football leagues to resume this weekend. 

I can't imagine how it must have been for the radio guys to watch their national team get humiliated by Hungary. Guess they just had an off night, while their opponents had a magical one. I'm assuming they're all English these Radio host people right? I never seem to recognize their voices, I keep thinking one is the other but there are like 4 of them?

Anyway, internationals over for now, time to support Brazilian football!

And a medal or something he can wear round his neck to mark him out like the true daddy cool he really is. Giving promotions and making contests is one thing, getting the right group of guys to help manage them on the forum, that's something else, and then to extend support to customers AND do meetups when he's surely got a crapload on his plate? I'd be pretty broken doing all that.

Multimaster I liked a lot too, but can totally understand why they took it away, shame though I still feel like there's unfinished business there as the only time I won had to share it with so many peeps haha.

Strangely, Soccer Blackjack is what got me juices going. I know it seemed terrible value at some point, but you pretty much got good wins by avoiding crap like Nations League heh

Yeah pretty much with all those giveaway / contest thread in games & rounds as well as sponsoring alot league prediction and stuff. Also glad that few folks managed to meet up each other through Beers with Steve. Tons of good stuff lately but honestly nothing beats all those times when we had the regular Multimaster, still wishing this to come back though 

^^
Yeah it was a great weekend in all sports!
I would imagine only if you did manage to select the right ones to win then it was good.
I didn't think Leclerc would fair too well in Baku from the past ones there and the way Ferrari have been having severe troubles with their engine as of late. Red bull certainly always does well on that track as Checo has always been a favorite to do his job and keep the rest of the pack behind them for Max to turn on the heat whenever he decides too.
But not in my wildest dreams did I ever think both Ferrari cars would be out of the race like that.
Tragic for them and great for Red Bull and Mercedes to take the lead back on the leaderboard.

The birthday celebrations for Sportsbet.io first year of Clubhouse radio was a success and many received their 1mbtc free bet just as the radio guys had said. I did, but just barely since there were alot who were there to reap the rewards on that giveaway.

They back on track for UEFA Nations league play for tomorrow so we'll see what happens then.
It never does disappoint as its just fun listening and interacting with the english fellows on the cast if only to learn about history of the beautiful game.

Yeah, I do agree.
I think Steve does deserve a raise with keeping us all active here on the forums!

So did anyone manage to tune in on the weekend for the birthday drops?

I popped in quickly but chat was down for me, didn't even place any bets either. Spain was nice to me but Portugal would have screwed me over, so I dodged a bullet, plus even LeClerc didn't do me any happiness in F1.

Miserable weekend but hope everyone managed to get something, Steve should get six cars for his work

Guys! While tuning into clubhouse radio they mentioned there it is a special time during their coverage of the Nations league match today.

It is Sportsbet.io Birthday today!
https://twitter.com/Sportsbetio/status/1535237859887788033

And to celebrate they will be doing freebet drops during the live show so tune in if you want to get those. Tune in to hear that commercial if you missed it.
 
Time to celebrate in style with them!

@leea: To be fair to Tether and altcoins, I don't think they're any less safe than each other to use. Terra/Luna/UST was a warning that alts really are as unproven as they appear to be, especially stablecoins, DAOs, etc. They're not the first to fail, mind you, just the biggest to fail -- people forget very quickly. Tether's probably a bit more mature and stronger, but they're also a lot less transparent and if they were to fail, even in parts, I think there will be many people affected. I don't intend to be one of them, but I'd happily accept stablecoins, I exchange them off right away, would be really unlucky to get caught with my pants down in the time between receiving and selling haha.

And yes, when I say crypto I actually still mean Bitcoin, maybe Ethereum. So I get what you mean. Everything else is... a different species really.

Also, the fights are as rd says -- about half day from now, that's smack prime time Southeast Asia since Sunday late morn/noon is when it's the busiest there

I use Google, it shows your local time, bookmaker times are all right too but they sometimes insist to show the time on their server rather than local computer time.

Who is ready for a sports filled weekend?
I sure am with the start of the day with F1 in Baku and then some nations cup play and going to tune in to Clubtalk radio when they go live for the later matches in the day and to end it off with the UFC in Singapore.

If anyone wants to follow the Sportsbet.io threads on either the F1 or UFC
Your welcomed to join in on the conversation as leea-1334 has for the UFC 275 event starting in about 12 hours from now.

Thanks for all the feedback and responses about USDT everyone, yes it is also not my favorite crypto but for sure can understand why people want to use it and even like it, I guess it is still something 'weird' for me to use, I see it really as just a token rather than a real crypto and would never hold anything in it, Luna/Terra collapse among other stablecoin collapses does not do anything to help me feel more confident about it.

Anyway,,, guess who has no work tomorrow and staying up to watch some boring Nations League with tea and fried noodles outside with friends

^ Europe definitely lives on different rules and yes I can as easily sell for euro tether etc at some exchanges:
- Local ones very bad rate when w/d euro and not instant.
- Binance no more SEPA so 1.5% fee and days. $30 is regular bank
- Bittrex same day but $25-35 fee for any bank.
- Bitpanda same day no fees but shit rate.
- P2P shittier by the day on LBC, on bisq and others pretty good but not guaranteed same day and yeah, ever since GDPR and AMLD5 it's a pain to find good rates/liquidity. Hate splitting up sells among several traders.

But p2p traders in southeast asia, which is how I am most easily able to liquidate, BTC is king. You can also do Tether but won't be a great rate.

Plus, all traders have a big spread that is still better rates than at any exchange so I still gain a significant amount more selling BTC for local currency then sending to myself euros. Of course an additional step of inconvenience but actually faster. I can sell BTC to SEA trader and remit back to myself with a similar Transferwise service all instant, literally in under a minute I can get it all and significantly more than if I sell it direct at an exchange.

Again, just my personal preference experience -- it's actually still a frigging PITA to not be N American or European trying to reside there and live on crypto but yeah anyway, I guess I'm also really Bitcoin-oriented. Have a Metamask for all the other networks but just still find it my second resort.

That is strange, for a long time now people buying from actually prefer USDT or USDC. That way we agree on amount and don't have to watch for volatility. Also all crypto exchanges and most cash machines in Croatia actually accept USDT over tron network.

I just have a hot wallet on my mob for it since it really comes handy often.

Yeah thanks, do need to tune in more often, just pretty awkward timing. So I don't think I won anything, highest scoring quarter was 2nd and I picked 4th, and then Curry... apparently had a shitty game

Question: where on earth to find stats like how many 3 ptrs he had? Gave up after a while.


Probably should clarify, even if I use Tron (which I don't) I'd still have to find a way to convert it back into a currency I could sell easily.

I use BUSDT sometimes too (Binance Smart Chain USDT), but eventually I need to send it somewhere, and that's normally to Binance to convert to BTC or some other real crypto then I cough up the fee anyway.

So the fee's always something I've to pay at some point (whether on network or on exchange).

BTC I like because I pay a really small fee, and I sell immediately p2p, so I get virtually all the value back. Every other crypto kicks me in the shin -- blame my passport I guess heh.
