Guys we really need to have one more pool prediction competition like this soon This was so fun and rewarding for everyone who finished in top table positions, and this was one of the best world cups I watched. I want to personally thank the whole Sportsbet team, including Steve for sponsoring, and hilariousandco for managing all this competition.

Here's an event that everybody itt would appreciate. Hopefully some crypto books put up a market so we can make some bets... It's good while we're waiting for a month before the next UFC event.
I never saw MMA fight on the last day of this year, and this reminds me on matches we see in Premier League around this time. This is a great idea for making cross promotion like this Bellator plus Rizin, and maybe this is a perfect way to compete with UFC, but I think Dana White will not like this idea and maybe he is busy with his new slapping competition

It was a decent event overall for a Fight Night but nothing outstanding. I guess it's better than nothing. And I was kinda bored with the main event tbh.
Judges didn't find this fight boring because Jared Cannonier won by split decision, but I think he was slightly better and he deserved to win. Cannonier had better percentage of significant strikes in that fight, but Strickland had more strikes and one takedown, so I can understand why someone saw him as a winner. Since this was last UFC event in this year I expected to see much better fight car, but world cup drama was more than enough for me

I don't think Argentina actually allowed anything here, Mbappe took it by force You don't score a hat trick in final of World Cup and loose the game that often. Will be a though one for him to swallow. They allowed exactly the same thing against Netherlands so they have a problem, and I think that one famous Croatian coach said that 2:0 is the worst lead you can ever had Argentina deserved to win, but I am just pissed that I lost first place in Fifa website in the last round

Great match for watching but I will say that Argentina was dumb to allow this to happen after leading 2:0 until 80 minute, then Mbape scored two goals in one minute, so stupid to allow this. This was worst outcome for my predictions, and my final score in Superbru is 6th place, and in FIFA website 2nd place. Congratulations to winners sam00 and FmibFeAt. FIFA also have their own predictor here which we may also use and then combine the points together. Now we are waiting for hilariousandco to announce official results. He said that they will combine points from Fifa and Supebru, so let's see what the outcome will be I have total of 187.5 points, Fifa 126 and Superbru 61.5

I am really not sure who to pick though as both teams are really strong and I am a total football noob Noobs always win competitions like this, while experts overthink everything Great work on taking over first place in last few rounds! People only remember and cheer for the first place 😉 In any sports do you really remember or even try to remember who was runner up?
Yes I do remember runners up and third places in some world cups, last time that was Croatia who lost against France in final match, and Belgium was better than England for third place. Maybe I don't know what happened many years ago but I also don't remember first places and champions. Croatia played their best match in this world cup and they deserved to win third place, bronze medal and extra 27$ million dollars. I am happy that I predicted exact score 2:1 and I am hoping the same will happen tomorrow, but math is telling me that it's impossible for me to finish first in Superbru. sam00 only needs 1 point in final prediction to keep first place, but bullrunbro has a chance if he predicts exact result, and LittleMouse is very close. It's been a fun ride Does anyone know who is FmibFeAt from FIFA bracket website? If Argentina wins tomorrow I think he is taking first place there, and if France win I will be the winner https://play.fifa.com/bracket-predictor/leagues/46436/tableVive la France

Lucky call... Stats showed Reading should have won, they had all the corners and majority of goal threats... and made 2 late goals anyway. Deeney's brace made the difference (didn't even realise Tahith Chong now plays for B'ham until I saw his name on the scoresheet!). I remember him playing in EPL and he was way too clumsy, but robust. Best suited for Championship, indeed. I didn't watch the game so I can't really judge, but when you lose 3:0 you know that winning team was better My pick on Sunderland X2 is winning at the moment, but match is boring and no shots on goals from both sides in first half Middlesbrough is currently leading 1:0 against Burnley so they are certainly looking much better after break during World Cup. If Morocco wins, I'll be very confident. Share here when my bet settles... if it lasts on to the final leg, that's with the Liverpool game!
My bet today was on Croatia and I think they played better in first half, maybe because of injuries and missing players in Morroco defese.

I think its a shit game, for me this game doesnt have to exist. Because if you are a player, with how many force do you play this game? Its not at the same level to a competitive one.
Nobody asked you do play and with that attitude you wouldn't be accepted to participate in any village sport competition. It must be a very good shit game with winner of this match getting bronze medal and extra $27 million reward! Nobody remembers fourth place but people know first, second and third placed team. I think that croatia has more experience in this kind of matches.They know how to play big games but this one isnt important as much. But still its to be third in the world i think we can expect lots of goals from both sides and i think croatia will take the win aswell
Croatia likes to play against attacking teams and Morocco is very defensive oriented, so this match is mystery for me. First match between this two teams was without goals, but this is very different conditions.

Unfortunately, for Dana White; Paddy doesn't have the same sort of persona or skill set as Conor. Conor was so popular because of his loud mouth, but also he backed it up. He usually put people to sleep in the first or second round. If you can last longer than that with Conor you'll probably beat him.
Paddy is maybe not on Conor level of popularity but he is interesting with his figthting style and body transformations pre and post fights. Only guy that was more popular than Conor globally for Khabib, but only after he beat everyone in his divison including Conor and retired from MMA

Guys what are your predictions for tomorrow match Croatia vs Morocco? Croatia have one day more to rest and prepare tactics and I think both teams are going to miss some players. Winner will be the team who is more mentally strong, but win for Morocco would be history for all African national teams. Dont forget to make your predictions in one more Sportsbet competition for final match Argentina vs France: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5429483.0Superbru standing changed and now sam00 is in first place. Good luck everyone.

^ Mm! I like the smell of Championship games on Friday so I've gone with B'ham to kick off my stylish World Cup acca, and then 1 live game from totally random fixture, capped off with 1 future game (Liverpool's first game back in the EPL haha).
Good call going with Birmingham, they currently have 3 goal lead, and I didn't expect to be so easy for them but break was good for them. I am taking one match for tomorrow, that is Sunderland to win against Hull, or safer bet is X2 double chance or asian handicap. Hull city has many injured and missing players for tomorrow and Sunderland didn't win away game for a long time, so this would be perfect time for them. Luton vs Millwall match is one postponed match in this round.

I think there's a chance that Cannonier KO's Strickland this weekend. I watched Cannonier's media day interview and he said that Strickland said he wants to 'duke it out' in the middle of the cage. That's def a bad idea as Strickland was just KO'd by Pereira a tad over a couple of months ago.
It's possible we are going to see KO in this fight, Strickland lost with KO two times same as Cannonier, but Cannonier have much better KO win record, 10 KO's from 15 wins in MMA. I would rule out submission win from anyone, and some special bet could pay off very nice, for example Cannoiner win by KO or points.

World Cup is in final stages and we have EFL Championship matches back for this weekend with Round 23. There is one match played in Friday that is Birmingham vs Reading and both teams will have some missing players. Reading was better in two last H2H matches with Birmingham and they returned from break with win against Coventry. WIth three points heer Reading is getting back in the race for Premier League and play-off zone. It's not always easy to win at St. Andrew's Stadium, but I like the odds on double chance X2 and I am going for that with lower stakes. My Bet: X2 double chance, Reading (0) AH. https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/birmingham-city-v-reading-fc-6395b77802a4a50a3f4d6583

From all MMA news I saw that Conor McGregor is removed from official UFC rankings, that just shows how relevant he is in MMA at the moment. For this weekend we have last UFC event in this year and Jared Cannonier vs Sean Strickland should be interesting main event to watch. It's hard to predict a winner here but I would give slight advantage to Cannonier, but there are no real favorite in this fight. My main bet for this event is on Khabib's cousin Said Nurmagomedov to win against Saidyokub Kakhramonov, and odds are very good.
