Here are the picks so far (and yes, I was a bit bored^^):



Public table

The only full consensus game is postponed, but there is lots of consensus for 12/15 games. Celta Vigo vs Villareal, Leipzig vs Dortmund and Roma vs Inter seem to be the deciding games this week and ~50% of the few draws that were picked come from these 3. Uncovered results are wins from Benevento/Bilbao and the draw in Flamengo game - I guess this will be the outcome then rdbase and me look in bad shape already with picking against Liverpool

Good luck.

[buwaytress]

^ouchie ty and rdbase. Yeah. I wasn't expecting Villa to field a full U23 squad. This is a complete opposite of last season when we fielded our U23s and got thrashed 5-0 haha. Mane already got a goal (and a knock in the back) and this does look like complete one-way traffic so far, even if we're only playing half seniors. Not a smooth flowing game and nervy back from Villa, but I feel comfortable with my LIV HT win @1.35. Already a missed chance from Gini to set the pace.

A bit of a silly bet but I wanted to start my Friday blazing =D Good luck fellas!

P.S. Which is the postponed game?

Am I the only one not backing Flamengo? Haha=p

This game is postponed Southampton - Shrewsbury Town

[arallmuus]

Its pretty rare for you to go for these kind of upset pick. I probably wouldnt be surprised if rdbase is the only one with this bet, kinda normal for him to pick that option

Aston Villa probably giving this match up . Aston Villa still has to play against Tottenham on Premier League and they could win that one considering that Tottenham hasnt been doing that good either.

P.S. Which is the postponed game?

Southampton vs Shrewsbury Town Indymoney posted above mine already

Am I the only one not backing Flamengo? Haha=p

You should have some faith with Flamengo !  


Does the postponed match counted as a win for everyone? Someone 'might' hit 14/14 though but the rules clearly says that you need to hit 15/15 for the extra prize

They are not giving the match up, they did not have the choice. Whole first team is in isolation due to covid outbreak. They even lost a couple of best U23 players because they were good enough to train with the first team. Even coach is in isolation. I really don't understand why they did not get the postponement. I herd something like there is no available dates but this is tough on Villa. Or you can look at it as karma for trashing liverpool when they were playing youngsters and celebrating like crazy.

[Turquinito]

Apologies for the delay, had an extremely long and busy day but managed to place my bet on time.

Well, I had the draw, which looked kind of reasonable and not a very big upset when I submitted my bet. But then Covid striked

Does the postponed match counted as a win for everyone? Someone 'might' hit 14/14 though but the rules clearly says that you need to hit 15/15 for the extra prize

No one will have 15/15 or 14/14 anway, so doesn't matter, but I think Sportsbet would still pay out the 1.5BTC. In fact you can only get 13/13 for this week, since Atletico game is postponed as well due to snow. And phew there is lots of snow in Madrid rn, Bilbao wasn't able to travel to the capital

(...) but I feel comfortable with my LIV HT win @1.35.

Self-jinxing is the best

Yeah I found out while watching too from what the commentators were saying. I guess it was similar somewhat to the previous season. Klopp wanted a postponement, and FA didn't grant it. Could have been the same in this case, though I wonder why FA can't make exceptions in what is clearly a tough, tough situation.

I do remember the 5-0 win and Villa celebrating like they beat Real Madrid. Nice to see Mane, Gini and Salah tone down celebrations.

Oh and why did I NOT back Gladbach upset? I wanted to...

@ty yep, I love self-jinxing myself... eff me, seriously.

[JanpriX]

Pretty late to the party. Anyways, here are my picks for this week.

Borussia M'gladbach - Bayern München
Aston Villa - Liverpool
Celta Vigo - Villarreal
Sevilla - Real Sociedad
Benevento - Atalanta
Atlético Madrid - Athletic Bilbao
RB Leipzig - Draw - Borussia Dortmund
Arsenal - Newcastle United
Manchester United - Watford
Southampton - Shrewsbury Town
Roma - Draw - Inter
Parma - Lazio
Udinese - Napoli
Ajax - PSV Eindhoven
Flamengo - Ceará SC

[Indymoney]

Now we have two games postponed so now what result will appear about them Atlético Madrid - Athletic Bilbao due to snow and second Southampton - Shrewsbury Town  because of too much corona cases this week now we have 13 games on baord.

[nelson4lov]

So I saw the results for today's MM games so far and it was only then that I discovered that I picked a draw for the Benevento vs Atalanta fixture which is Infact a mistake from my end. Moving forward, I will endeavor to cross-check my picking before submitting them. Leipzig vs Dortmund match is currently underway. I had Leipzig to win this one but no goal so far.

[notblox1]

Damn Arsenal played 0:0 in regular time with Newcastle...
I had a feeling they may do this, but I relied more on terrible Newcastle to lose, and they even had great chance to win in last minutes of stoppage time.

One more match for today and I see a lot of lineups changes for Manchester United vs Watford.

[tyKiwanuka]

10/15 games "decided" and we have a big armada of 10 people in the lead:



The sportsbet leaderboard shows 11 guys with 5 correct picks and ManU shouldn't be included yet, so lots of them will have 6 correct most likely.

Identical remaining picks from the 5 correct picks guys:

Trofo & entebah
jeremypwr & LFC_Bitcoin & Woohler

leea-1334 has two quite unique picks for the five remaining games, if you hit the X's for Napoli and Ajax, you might jump to the top of the leaderboard.

[ralle14]

The early curse strikes again with Bayern I still can't believe Gladbach pulled the win after going down 0-2.

Currently I only have three correct picks so far that means i'm out since the leaders are two picks ahead and good luck to all you guys who have five correct picks.

[buwaytress]

Many 5 picks right, eh guys? And only 1 draw results (Arsenal Newcastle, who else haha) which arallmuus got putting his nicely on 5/5 with the rest of you;) If only Watford had won, I'd be on 4/4 with almost everyone in the list haha!

5 more games, can anyone get 10/13 right?

[kryptqnick]

tyKiwanuka, thanks for keeping track and presenting the info in such a lovely table! I'm glad to see myself in the top, but of course with 5 games to go and 10 people having 5 correct picks at this point, the chances of getting to the final selection of top guessers are slim, and the situation can still change a lot even for those who didn't get 5 picks yet.
buwaytress, some of us hypothetically can get 10/13, of course, but given how 5/8 is the top result now (excluding the 2 postponed games), I don't think the highest number of correct picks will be above 8 this time.

[arallmuus]

but given how 5/8 is the top result now

Actually 11 people have 6 correct picks now after the leaderboard was updated. So with the remaining 5 matches to go, few people could have hit 11 and share the prizes or there will be gazillion of people that ended up with 10 correct picks and share the 150mbtc. It still is a good amount even if 30 people ended up sharing this for 5mbtc each ($197)

Many 5 picks right, eh guys? And only 1 draw results (Arsenal Newcastle, who else haha) which arallmuus got putting his nicely on 5/5 with the rest of you;) If only Watford had won, I'd be on 4/4 with almost everyone in the list haha!

To be honest Im quite surprised that Im the only one that picked a draw for Arsenal . I mean like its Arsenal, cant expect much from them so a draw would be most likely to happen

If only I didnt go for a draw on Leipzig vs Dortmund, I would have ended up with 6 right now. I should have put my faith on Haaland to carry Dortmund out there.


Only 1 upset pick left for me and the other 4 are favourites to win pick

[notblox1]

Only Flamengo match left on this multimaster and most of us picked a home win so there is no chance of changing who the winners are, and I think we have 3 of them with eight correct picks so far.
I hope for better score and no delayed matches next week.

Every time when we are going on very heavily with Flamengo they are giving us shock match just end with 0 - 2 for away win just @buwaytress is going to take point all others with zero mean very bad end of this MM for again after winning in last round.
