guess who's back
Thank you, Trofo, and SyGambler. I really appreciate your sentiments. This was my first competition and I guess I hugely overestimated the interest from this forum. I see plenty of gamblers talk and discuss, so not sure what would have attracted them to join... disappointed that there was so little interest in a competition that doesn't cost anyone anything, yet people participate in free giveaways for much smaller prizes. I know the prizes maybe wasn't so great especially with BTC price right now but I really thought we'd have a lot of gamblers sharing their bets for a huge global tournament.

I'll just close out the contest now and lock the thread... but please both send me a Bitcoin address in PM, I'd like to tip you both BTC 0.005 for your contributions.

Perhaps I'll open another one now to see if there's any interest for an English Premier League contest, with perhaps 4 stages (with 1 winner every 9 games?). Similar format, no payment to enter, highest cumulative odds to win. And we'll see if we can get participants for that? Maybe people will also tell me how to make the competition more interesting.

I really appreciate your contribution to the gambling section mate , left you a trust feedback yesterday for your nice work
regarding the next competition I don't know to be honest , I'm not that much of a follower when it comes to EPL since it can take a long time but the world cup is supposed to be the month that all people watch soccer in and that's why I was surprised for not having more participants
so I may not even join the pool for the English premier league , will let you know if I changed my mind

and no need for the tip mate , we were just having fun together  Grin

Thx. I will send you the address in few minutes.

Regarding new competition. Maybe you can create it soon and give people a month to learn about it and give their opinions how to make it more interesting for them. From what I read in your posts in this thread you are big on BTC promotion so make that one of the firm rules and leave some room for people to advise other parts of your contents which you are more open to change/update.

I will take part in for sure Smiley Thx once again for organizing this.

Regarding the prizes. I also agree that there is no need to pay us anything. I feel like the perfect prize for us would be a pint of beer but that is hard to accomplish since we are all living in different parts of the world. If you ever come to Croatia let me know Smiley We are perfect place for summer vacation  Cool

Too bad nobody else joined. Your idea for competition was great. I hope there will be something similar in the future and that we will manage to attract a bigger crowd. There is really no point when there is only 3 of us. Thank you for organizing this.

true , I started to believe that actually there are very few gamblers here and most of the people are here for signature money
cause there is no single reason for not joining if you are a gambler since the majority of gamblers bet on the world cup

Sy: that's an amazing win for tennis, well done! After yesterday's game, my early good bets on Iran and other parlays were all burned up so I'm in a slight negative balance for my World Cup bankroll. Going to go with two small bets on South Korea and Sweden (straight win) to hopefully recover and give me a few more days to bet big.

My shared betslip for today is the South Korea game @5.78 https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=Ux5I%2Bnjr7J0Qzn1FSMPBCtEbyhnSHnQhUGFqHlISfBE%3D

If no one participates after end of group stages, I'll close out this contest... of course, I'll still award the 2 players here for participating.

got a draw for the competition here today in Denmark vs Australia , guess it will be another boring game and I like the odds of the draw more than the odds of Denmark to win
https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=gqYvcUB1FhOGfHpQVGjs1pgNIpQUAZYgMOYIdZTLT10%3D

Fantastic call, Sy. I knew I should have trusted my instincts and gone for Croatia instead... I guess I just didn't have the heart to bet against poor old Messi. Couldn't bear to watch his face and emotions... I think it's really affecting the whole team.

I'll update the spreadsheet shortly.

Learning my lesson, I will make 2 bets for today, the first to be recorded for this thread will be for Iceland to win (I know, I know, they're all part timers) but here we go @2.81: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=PIsQkPiBeNqHJaP96yDc5TDKALhIDciMUKChut7eLEo%3D

Just another bet on Brazil game Over 2.5 @1.96: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=VyaBEknmyWQJaNi5Wnq8C6HjXaxgGBzJ%2FeuE7YT23mI%3D

been sick a little yesterday and slept from 1am to 5 pm  Grin missed Brazil game but had Brazil -1.5 which almost lost haha
so far the most profitable plays are taking the underdogs with handicap , but since I'm not expecting much from Nigeria I will take also Iceland to win
https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=yrYgWoMV8k98GhxYNQllaZYVK1Myk9yuuWtFLbl3iPc%3D

I think there is a good chance for both teams to score as well in this game

screw the world cup , it's been a money burn so far I mean I need only Iceland to win or both teams to score so I can profit of my bets
both went rekt after Iceland missed that penalty , same thing when Argentina played against Iceland I had o2.5 and messi to score and both went rekt with that penality

should stick to tennis betting I guess , just had an amazing easy win today  Cheesy

After low scoring games yesterday I am expecting something much more interesting today:
https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/c21b016UzJ3OXJzVUt2S25CT25Zb2lHNWl4dz09/r/2669184/

Late for a meeting, I will write few more words if I manage later today.

Booked my parlay in yesterday, I would never have guessed 1-0 wins for all 3 games, but I suppose it was about time all the favourites won their game. I'm going to risk the exact same parlay today, though the risk to me is with Argentina (unless Messi is back on form) and Denmark (Australia aren't pushovers). Nevertheless, I have faith in the attacking teams, which to me are Denmark, France and Argentina, so my 3-bet parlay for today:
https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=dugH7ze0phsuVCrlyVKLI02QH8YkAhDmjrcOfqLXLWw%3D

I'll update the spreadsheet tomorrow or end of today. If we end the group games without any more participants I'll just close this thread and give out some prizes anyway... what do you guys think?

here is my little parlay for today , I played singles in the broker I use but here it's fun to have higher odds  Cheesy
https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=JEcCutd8IMwDlk0eoKDhfwRBNZnrTI1Y7u4QIeoDDco%3D

REKT after first match , what a boring game
I guess we all overestimated Portugal after their last game against Spain , now I'm kinda blaming myself a little for the O2.5 since their last game Ronaldo was on god mode  Cheesy without CR performance Portugal can be beaten easily IMO and even today Morocco wasn't worse than Portugal but they needed good attackers and good attacking plan

OUCH, yeah. I thought the odds were pretty good but I have been spot on with every single day so far by counting on an underrated team to win or draw. I predicted 3-0 in Fifa predictor for Portugal but it turned out to be super boring as you said. Morocco can't dig themselves out of their hole without any venom, though they really weren't so bad, just not good enough.

Luis Suarez finally got his team ahead today, I predicted 4-0 on that one (I know, I know) but I almost got it right with Belgium so I thought why not some South American glory today?

Looks like you both are out and I look OK so far... still no participants. Shame, as it's still anyone's game.

Hey Trofo, to answer your question:

- only Bitcoin bets are allowed here. I support Bitcoin in whatever way I can, and since the prizes are also in Bitcoin and I use Bitcoin myself, I thought to reserve this contest only for Bitcoin users. I actually also use fiat bookies but only for "specials" that crypto bookies sometimes don't have. Odds are almost always better in Bitcoin sportsbooks, too, so I see no reason to go fiat if I can help it.

Now on to my bet for the day... I'm an underdog backer but today I'll go for the treble parlay of all the favourites @2.74, betslip: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=lzqPl%2BoZxa%2Fhz8oMcY9Xzm0QwyLOr6887w5xNqwQ5Sk%3D

I like surprises, and Iran gave me my first significant win of the tourney but I really don't see them taking a goal from Spain. De Gea should be vastly improved from his first appearance. Your bets actually look really good, so good luck to you!

My ticket for today: https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/ea24eb7MFVKTVlzRWZHN1hER1BNcWttODZTdz09/r/2669184/

Not much to explain. I played handicaps on big favorites and for the third match I chose Portugal under 2.5 goals. I was torn between this tip and Portugal to win but decided to go with under just on a feeling. We have 3 big favorites today and I sort of expect at least one surprise and this is the only game where I believe the opponents have any chance of causing it.

I'm not expecting a win , but expecting both teams to score in this game but maybe it will go to the draw
this is the worst major event for me so far haha damn I'm like burning money daily

Same here. I had a good day yesterday and managed to recover my loses. Today I am back on loosing streak. Damn Sanches and his red card in 3rd minute of the match.

Oops sorry you're right. The 3rd leg of the parlay pushed (I thought it was a loss), I'll update your score on the spreadsheet for yesterday. BTW you didn't post the betslip url in your post above for today.

I forgot but it doesn't matter since I had Colombia to win on it. I have entered so many different competitions and bets on this world cup it is getting a bit difficult to track them all Smiley

As far as I understood you only accept BTC bets and no fiat. What about ETH? I have some small funds on wbet7 in ETH so I could use them for this purpose maybe. Mine main bets are in fiat for WC because I have better odds in my local bookie.
