I really don't know this until I just read your post, some of the rules a very terribly worded or explained, I really want to be very sure about this and it's not just another mistake from their end because, If there are some pretty cheap games towards the end of MD2 and worthy for MD3, I will definitely go that route of Wild Carding in MD2 with that approach, because that's having an advantage of 11 additional players points for that game day, but I'd like to be sure if it's that how FIFA actually meant about it, what about the captaincy too ? will the captaincy double points remain too ? and I don't even know if more than one chip can be used in a single MD.

Does anyone have better interpretation of these rules or some other website with better explanations, please ? And we are actually just less than 15 hours away  

I really don't think people are buying it and they shouldn't either, I'm sure there are even be bigger parties (like odds maker) at play that would put even more than that on the one the line to get a fair tournament.

As I always say, that these days the bigger the event the lesser the chances of it being fixed, perhaps I'm just that naive. If they're able to buy their way against Ecuador, and it's probably easier for some people to believe for such simply because how they probably rate the Ecuador team, I mean no disrespect to the aforementioned team and theirs, but would the story and amount in question if they were playing against a team like Brazil, Engalnd or France where most of their players are earning close or more than what each of those supposedly bribed players would have gotten from that money in less than a month at their various clubs.

I think he'll make a terrible coach too, I like his passion and hunger for success at every given opportunity, but if he becomes a coach, I really can't see beyond a Mourinho v2.0 but with probably zero titles to show for it and it will be easier to point fingers at his players, at every chance he gets. Ronaldo right up till now still gets upset and shows it evidently if he is through on goal and teammate probably unintentionally didn't see him, and as such goes all the way for the goal opportunity in a somewhat selfish manner, at his age and experience garnered you'd expect him to be able to overlook these things occasionally but he never does, and he's barely being friends with players from his previous clubs, especially if they get to give a positive about another player for being good or the best even without making comparison with him, I think he just needs to learn a lot about being humble enough, he arguably is one of the best player to have ever graced a football pitch, and his records and numbers are there to speak for him, so I really wonder if he would have been able to handle to half the criticism that Messi have gotten over the years of Barcelona woes and his first season at PSG, especially during international duties woes too despite it being obvious that Messi actually did well in some of those tournaments but it takes more than just one player to win a trophy, I actually hate to compare both players for any reason whatsoever, because I believe they are two completely different players, but some actions are rather just not excusable.

I really don't believe the accusation and even if the result would turnout to be in favor of the Qataris with the 1 Nil predicted scoreline, I would still love to believe that it was just all a mere coincidence, that we all come about when making predictions and bets, I supposed there is way on the line not just for the players or team in question and $7.4 million despite being a significant some in even first world countries, in exchange for winning the match, seem way more less to the damaged and unrest that such an antics would cause to the already controversial winter-hosting of the event.

It's been quite a stressful day, way more than I anticipated to be honest, but I've just submitted my predictions too, more than half of them are fairly tricky and some I just had to guess and there is no way to have any idea whatsoever beforehand.

I like that it's actually something entirely different from what we've been accustomed too, and it make it more interesting to see how it will all go, but thanks to team Sportsbet.io for the never ceasing support to make every tournament worthwhile, and props to Trofo and Cryptofrka too for trying to handle such a lasting competition without being chanced to partake must be strenuous  , but that should surely increase my chances  

Here is my betslip,


Good luck to everyone!


I'm sure he'll beat such odds if not more at some point, as he never stops, whenever I see City or Bayern lose to an odd of 20 or more, he is the first person that comes to mind that would have made something off it.

Yes, but those who took the bet late for Miami Heat to cover the spread would have been lucky, Miami Heat surprisingly started the game in a very solid manner and took a pretty decent lead with as many as 15 points going at almost halftime, Kyle Lowry was doing in it all, from 10 rebound to the 15 assists and even putting 24 points on the board, I felt the win was locked for Heat at some point, ngl. It just got too much of a burden for him alone to put up with, and with the help, that win wouldn't have just slipped through their fingers like it did, it must have been some hard loss to swallow for him, looking at the work rate and efforts he put in for those 50+ minutes of play!

@Trofo and @icopress thanks!

I got the notifications as well, I'm trying to focus on surviving the series of bloodbath with my NBA bets recently for tonight, I'll definitely put in my answers in tomorrow, there still so many uncertainties with FIFA, especially the Fantasy, some players that have been listed since each teams made their listed on 14th are still missing so I'm expecting full update by tomorrow, and I'll be sure with who and/or what I'm going with.

I really don't know what has happened since the line of Heat vs Washington Wizards open, but the Miami are currently a +6.5 Underdog and over 3.00 Odds value on ML, I really doubt it's down to only Bam Adebayo's unavailability, I suspect there are much more information to look out for about this match up.

That said, I'm also a fan of Boston Celtics tonight against the Pelicans, I doubt that Marcus Smart would be fit enough, but I think the Boston Celtics will still win the game regardless of that.

Warriors are quite a mess right, I don't know if it's out of narcissism, or it's the team's camp issue like it is with the Nets, so I'm leaning towards +8.5 for the New York Knicks as well  in that matchup.

I see the bandwagon on Portland Trailblazers ML and spread truly and It's tempting not to want to hop in on it, honestly, but I've got other ideas, for my bet tonight, just a double on the first quarters and halves.

We'll know KD would keep it 100% real, if has to say something he'd say it without remorse or not expressing himself well enough, maybe that could really be a wake up call for his teammates, hopefully...

I'm even thinking of a mutually terminated contract ? That could work too, probably the best case scenario imho, since he's bound to leave freely next summer right ? I guess that could be the best option for Man United, because I'm sure any team willing to get Ronaldo now would try not pay any type of transfer fee given his enormous wages and the circumstances surrounding both parties, and benching Ronaldo all season long would affect both parties too, because Ronaldo would have to get paid regardless, but himself not playing any competitive game for more than 6 months would it's adverse effect on him too.

I don't think there is any way back for both parties from this outburst, I think Ronaldo knew exactly what he was doing and waited for the World Cup Break before having the interview and going against all those that have at some point rated him as the best player in the history of football simply because he won't bring himself to admit that there's been a decline in his performance and age is eventually catching up with him, I believe these are those times when you just need to keep quite and try to up your game and prove them wrong, everyone have been at the stage at one point or the other and Ronaldo ego makes him believe he is immune to critics, and his antics even when on the pitch shows all he's about is just his goals and not the team at large, so he's fine with calling people out and referring to his personal accolades but wouldn't accept he's no longer that person.

I think having this much of strikers might be to their own detriment, just saying though, because It could only remind me of Argentina some years ago, when they seemingly have the best strikers combination going into any tournament, but their midfield was quite a disaster and it ended up causing more harm to the team at large, I meant when Argentina were heading into those tournaments with forward lines consisting of Aguero, Higuain, Tevez, Messi, Di Maria, Diego Milito, Javier Pastore and Martin Palermo.

I guess we'll see how it all unfolds, it's just around the corner.

Shit happens! We win some, we lose some, I guess the work load was eventually to much for Dinwiddie and he folded! I wish morvillz7z had won his bet, just one more 3pt was what he needed and he just made 1/9 3pt attempt.

I was surprise with the Warriors losing to Phoenix, with CP3 too, It just showed the chemistry that exist deep into their into their roster, I suppose.

I really don't know what to make of Dallas Mavericks, they'll be without host of their players, Luka Doncic, Max Kleber and McGee are all out for the game, Reggie Bullock and DFS doesn't seem to be at their optimal level too, that would leave Spencer Dinwiddie with loads of the play, and I don't know if that's a reasonable risk to take even though the Houston Rocket are the worse team in the league.

I didn't try out the test form too, but I don't think there should be any problem from my end when answering the questions, I'm also curious as to when will get each sets of questions because I wouldn't want to miss out on any, but I'm sure I'll be very active here during the world cup, I have less school work and stuffs, so I should be able to watch at least 80-90% of all matches.

I have an idea to help curb the challenge of people trying send in multiple answers, impersonate and whatnot, since there are 32 participants, and you don't want to ask for emails, you can generate a unique ID or Tag for every participant which they have to send along with other information they are to provide when answering the questions, the Unique ID or Tag doesn't need to be shown on public spreadsheet, but you'll be sure no one is impersonating another since each participant will be responsible for keep their unique ID/Tag.

Before I decide on my singles and doubles betting for tonight, I've a got 200+ Odds parlay, a couple individual teams for 1st Half Over between the range of 52.5 - 57.5 and a couple of player props' too.

Other than this, my main game of interest for tonight is Warriors vs Phoenix Suns, Cameron Johnson is ruled out as per information from nbcsportsedge.com, while De Andre Ayton and Chris Paul are both listed as probable, although Warriors are also to be without Klay Thompson but I don't see the Phoenix Suns winning this fixture if these players are all missing.
