Hope you guys had some good wins on the weekend.. heaps of sport coming up!
Had some nice wins over the weekend, can't complain  It all started with the BTC drop so thanks for that to Sporstbet once more. Hey Steve, can you twist some arms among your guys or sports provider to make them expand on Davis cup markets? There is a big match between Itally and Croatia today and wanted to bet big on it. Sportsbet has only ML on teams while I would like to see all the player markets. You'll make me deposit on local fiat bookie to cover this one properly and we don't want to endorse fiat betting  |

Are you betting on United today? I mean Chelsea is better but odds @1.55 for a win against United with new manager look a bit like joke. Wanted to place that bet but fair price would be @1.8-2 for this game. This way I am skipping it.
Not yet but yes (updated in my thread actually). There's a massive Super Boost on this one, and I was tempted to put a nice big fat ML on United, just for the heck of it but ended up just putting something a bit more regular than usual. They've got nothing else they need to motivate them for the win, and Chelsea I've been waiting for a long time for their guns to finally sputter -- wholly unsustainable xG rate. United with Ronaldo, Fernandes, Sancho and everything else for 6.64? I don't know value if that's not it! Knew that it was gonna be though for Chelsea. In the end I took BTS which passed thanks to Jorginho, would have been a massive bust without him. Already sent him a thank you note on twitter Does anybody know when will the Spurs game take place? Any chance for tomorrow maybe? |

Trofo still on the top so far, but surprisingly Top 3 in this pool's leaderboard doing crap this round -- or is this no surprise since the favourites are dropping points like a kid dropping Halloween candy? -- 3 draws means 3 zeroes for me though Espanyol looks like they'll hold on for the win for another wrong prediction for me...
Well it was about time I drop the points difference to the top at least for a few points. My plan in the pools is always to be in the striking distance of money positions before last few game weeks and then storm the table This pool needs some work, I am happy where I am in the other two. Looking forward to Real game tonight, really want to see how good is Sevilla. They are getting the points but I feel like it is more a case of not so good competitors than their actual worth. We shall see tonight. My bet is on both to score to make it more interesting to watch. |

I never warmed to Isner, its all about the serve with him and it is brilliant but I think
he relies on it too much as in his other game play is not as impressive.
Being an all-rounder like say the top 10 players is essential.
Everybody plays to his strength. Isner did brilliantly with the cards he has been dealt. He is not one of the more talented players and yet he had very good career. He went all in on his serve and net plays and it worked good for him during the years. Guy over 2 meters tall will never be the best mover on tour, it is not possible, he has to rely on his superior reach and strength. Never liked him as well but I respect what he has done and not every player is built to be all-rounder. You have to be good at everything to be top 10 but that place is reserved for the best of the best. Isner best ranking was 8th place I think, and that was when all 4 greats played well and had first 4 spots reserved. So not too shabby. |

if my Gazza 50/1 special hits today
Yeah that one is not hitting No way Spurs, Everton and Lazio will manage to win today. I am thinking Rangers and Spurs could come, other 2 very difficult. Are you betting on United today? I mean Chelsea is better but odds @1.55 for a win against United with new manager look a bit like joke. Wanted to place that bet but fair price would be @1.8-2 for this game. This way I am skipping it. |

Let’s hope City or Chelsea drop points tomorrow. New manager bounce for Man Utd maybe.
Everybody is so sure Chelsea destroy United tomorrow. At least that is the feel I got listening to some pre match shows and reading the papers. I am waiting whole week to place large bet on Chelsea and as the start of the game approaches I am not so sure anymore. Usually when everybody thinks they know the winner, bookies end up in the green. Will sleep on it but I think it will be a pass from me in the end. |

See what happens after getting all the praise for last week's yellow cap?
0 points for getting absolute nothing. Of course, still early games but hate that I was going to pick a draw for Friday until I decided to take some risks to catch hahay. Well done on the 3-pointers to most of you.
Poor Juventus. They were the favourites too. Not sure why.
I had them too, I was even expecting a flawless win. I couldn't watch the game, but I was certain BTTS would playout and that's what I've got on a parlay. I'm also with 0 point from the four fixtures played so far, but I'm not surprised since nobody from the pool has scored points from more than one fixture. Though game week so far, seems like this will be one of the lower scoring ones and every point will count. I got lucky with the correct score from the first game and hopefully Inter will bring some more points to us. Did not expect Juve to loose, they just looked like they were getting close to the form that is expected from Juve and then happened Chelsea in CL and this game. Back to the drawing board for them I guess. |

That’s prolly it. I’m pretty sure there will always be people out there trying to game the promos by creating multiple accounts. It comes with the territory so you can’t really blame the sites for asking for ID. It’s turning out that sites that don’t do KYC could be the shady ones. Here are my M7 picks... I always have a ‘good feeling’ before the matches start.  Same here, always good feeling when picking them and when it starts all falls apart quite quickly I have 6 selections exactly the same as you, only one where I have went in other direction is City game. I hate Pep Roulette and guessing who will play in City game so I went for Antonio who will play 90 minutes and I feel like he is due a goal. |

@icopress... oh man I hope it really didn't drop on you and you missed it. A few nights ago I was betting on Haller hattrick and he actually scored a last minute goal but his teammate was OFFSIDE and VAR cancelled the goal. It's ok to lose but not when you are given the win and get it taken away again, right?  I had Ajax -1.5 on that game to win the ticket so that VAR disallowed goal kicked my balance hard. At least it was an offside and not some bullshit where line gets drawn on the tip of the nose and then we have 0.5mm offside. @icopress I got the drop as you know it, but I have never seen any notification. Just money on my account which would disappear if I have not claimed it in time. |

Itally won against USA in Davis cup which was sort of expected but Sinner destroyed Isner 6:2 6:0. I don't think Isner lost the match with just 2 games by his name ever. Even against players like Djokovic he almost always managed to get 3 or 4 games per set on board. I guess he is out of form but still Sinner must have played some incredible returns yesterday since Isner serve is a force to respect.

Craig Tiley, the head of the Australian Open called out Novak Djokovic and seemingly attempted to goad him into getting vaccinated against COVID-19 by saying the tennis star "will not want to miss" his shot at a record 21st Grand Slam. Yeah, he has a good record in AO so it's really necessary for him to get the jab so that he can compete and probably have a good chance to win next year. I guess it's the right decision for him. Is that him saying he'll get vaccinated though, or just the Australian Open people desperately trying to convince him to do it, because they want him to play there? TBH given his personality and the way he is often so outspoken on these things, I would actually be quite surprised if he got the vaccine. Of course he will have a good chance of winning the Australian Open if he competes there, and achieving the record, but it's not like he won't be the favourite at every other slam as well. Who knows what he will get if anything. I would not be surprised if he can get a confirmation that he is vaccinated even if he does not do it. He is very popular person in Serbia and I am sure somebody would take care of that for him. Not implying that he will do it that way but I am sure it has been done already and will be done in future as well with some prominet figures which are opponents of vaccinations for personal reasons. |

Just bragging a bit since I got the drop. Whohoo!!! That makes quite a few of us from the forum. I had a feeling I will get a drop today while playing football with my buddies. To make things worse we were playing on underground turf where there is no cell reception so I could not check my account. Anyway the game finished and I am trying to check Sportsbet page without success. In the end I was lucky enough that money was on account when I got to the bar above ground. Already spent a small chunk of it since I had to buy beers for the team after getting a present like this |

Another special is up, "Tottenham, Lazio, Rangers & Everton All To Win - 2 Mbtc Max Bet" @50. Odds are very juicy since you can't get better than @35 on that ticket otherwise. Still I am not thrilled about team selection. Rangers are slam dunk, Spurs and Everton have a chance but it will be though but I don't believe Lazio can win away to Napoli even on their best day. Still I am taking it since I would kick myself if it ends up wining and I missed it |

Why is nobody complaining that I have not graded last week challenge and put up new one? I was sure I have done it and forgot all about it later on. It seems nobody here needs free bets maybe they thought you were busy so they didn't wanna bother you with a bunch of pm's in your inbox (: personally, i got a couple of freebets this week and i thought one of em was from the weekly challenge which is why i didn't check the thread in 'games and rounds' Lucky you, so many free bets you don't even know where are they coming from If you see me lagging with challenge just write a post in any of the threads, I am keeping an eye on them all the time. Some great matches this week across all leagues. Will be easier to bear out crappy whether here. |

First, apologies for late grading, forgot all about it, you guys should complain sometimes This was a though week, most of us did terribly but our winners had 4 correct. Congrats for that. Tie breaker is first goal in second game always, there was a typo in my post and I left the old one. Hope you don't feel hard done Harkorede. Since there was no goals in tie breaker game I am giving advantage to the higher number of minutes (90 would be closest, unless somebody picked no goal) Winners of last challenge: dittoup - 1 mBTC free bet Harkorede - 0.5 m BTC free bet
New challenge is up, put your predictions in and be careful first game is on Wednesday: Prizes are the same but we have new corner market instead of cards: 1. Match line - Home/Draw/Away 2. Both to score - Yes/No 3. Number of corners - 8 and under/9-11/12 and over Prizes: First place: 1 mBTC free bet on your Sportsbet account Second place: 0.5 mBTC free bet on your Sportsbet account Games for this challenge, went with Sunday games to give you a bit more time: Napoli - Lazio Real - Sevilla Tie breaker: first goal in Real game
My predictions and template: Napoli - Lazio1. Match line - Home 2. Both to score - Yes 3. Number of corners - 12 and over
Real - Sevilla
1. Match line - Home 2. Both to score - Yes 3. Number of corners - 12 and over 35' minute |

It seems nobody here needs free bets Anyway, I'll take care of it now and use only Sunday matches to give you all a bit more time to enter your predictions. Sorry. New challenge should be up in couple of minutes. |

Next special is up, Arsenal to win @2. Again immense value since you can't find odds over 1.5 for this ML anywhere else. Unfortunately 0.5 mBTC max bet still stands. So I guess we will get a bunch of almost safe specials with solid odds and fixed max bet today. I hope there will be at least one big odds (over 20) special for those of us wanting to live dangerously |

SB has several high value Specials today.
A new one every second hour and each Special are valid for 2 hours.
The first Special for the day was released a few minutes ago;
2.00 in odds on Southampton to get 1+ corner against Liverpool!
Just wanted to write the same but you were faster. Hurry up guys and take the special, odds are not big but when you realize you need just 1 corner for the win then they have immense value. I don't even know where to find similar offer but I am sure odds for something like this are usually not over @1.2. Now only problem is how to manage the bank, could be even better specials coming up but this one seems like free money and I am taking it. You have a bit more then one hour left for this one. |

Djokovic in early days was really against Covid and it will be difficult to see him get vaccinated. But he has an amazing chance of making more records if he plays AO and i think he should get get vaccinated and go and win it. I think Serbia has amazing chances to win Davis cup this year with Djokovic
Who are other players for Serbia this year? I don't think there is a good second player or double combination. Djokovic is a beast and he will get his point but he can only play one match, who will bring that second point to Serbia? Is Zimonjić still playing doubles or has he retired? Who is playing singles Lajović or Krajinović? Troicki still in team? I don't see them winning against first proper opponent, except for that customary Djokovic point which is a slam dunk. |
