and a few days already way more than 5 mbtc haha

I tried your recommendation on freebet Blacjack and Im currently up like 3-4 mbtc so far in two days, betting 0.2 mbtc for each round. So far so good and I think this is my new favourite BJ lol. Totally love the free double, I rarely use the free split but its pretty nice to have the free double because the next card could be pretty bad sometimes. Imagine getting 11 then hitting 2 on the next card, thats pretty disgusting lol

One question though, does the bust it sidebet only pays up 2x? or will it goes up according to how many times the dealer doesnt get busted

I wouldn't keep doing that, of course. 105 days or so left, you're bound to hit a bad streak. Just keep playing to get the min, use up the wins, and then try again maybe when you're in the red -- again, don't take my advice, this is just how I play.

Free double's very good too, though right? Even if you don't get a 10, dealer could still bust and you're good.

Click the Help button, it's the question mark [?] on top right. Then click Payout for more info.
3 card bust: 2/1
4 card bust 4/1
5 card bust: 9/1 (hit once for me this round)
6 card bust: 50/1 (I love this, hit it twice last Live Hero).
7 or more I can't remember.

It seems I jinxed it already lol. This is the first time I ended up losing after playing for 25 times lol. Its not that bad, I was down 1.2 mbtc today but overall Im still in green right now so its all good.

The only weird thing about this freebet blackjack is that it will be a push if dealer hits 22 but I guess its sort of expected that they put some twist for it considering that they give us free double and free split to make up for the House Edge

So is it worth it to bet on the sidebet though? they rarely hit but sometimes It could go over 10x lol. Bust it is the only sidebet that I have tried so far and the maximum multiplier that I got was 2x

I can't say. Again, don't take my suggestions as advice!

A regular dealer chance to bust is approximately 28%, just over 1 in 4 hands, hence why I wait for a 3-streak no bust from dealer before I start martingaling. But Freebet Blackjack uses 4 decks and seems to end the shoe some time in the middle, so I don't know how that affects probability, but I figure it's probably about the same. You also can't control how players hit (you know, those guys hitting on hard 20, for example) and how that affects dealer bust probability but I believe it evens out over time

Check  the Help (question mark) section and look under Payouts.

Are you sure you only got 2x? 4-card bust pays out 2:1 (effectively a 3x).

Damn you guys sound fearless with those sidebet strategies, now I kind of want to try blackjack as an alternative to roulette since it's the only game i've been playing so far. Plus i'm looking for that roulette game with a very small house edge where if you bet on red/black and whenever the ball lands on green you'd get half of you stake back.

Also it's been a while since we had an update to the list, hopefully once it updates later today the total participant goes down below 200.

Edit : Snagged this multi special at the last minute (boosted from 2.70 to 2.90) hopefully it hits so I don't have to replenish my balance.

List has been updated and your wish came trough, we are way below 200, 166 to be exact. Sounds quite good to me after only 7 days of playing. Still only 6 mBTC per participant so I am hoping for way more drop outs 

That blackjack sounds way to complicated for me. I am staying on roulette, game which I can understand. Is there a roulette that gives half of the stake back when 0 hits? Never seen that one.

Yeah I kinda get it, its kinda different with a regular BJ because 22 will be considered as a push so its kinda messing up with the probability somehow

This is probably the most absurd thing that I have ever seen. There will be always atleast 1 dumbass that keep on hitting the hit button even after getting 20 or 19. Although sometimes this helps the dealer bust or hit 17 afterward, I think this just doesnt make any sense at all and its pretty dumb

Are you sure you only got 2x? 4-card bust pays out 2:1 (effectively a 3x).

I cant really remember but probably it was 3-card bust

Heck yeah, we are not even on 15 days mark yet. I hope we get less than 50 players by the end of the contest, getting atleast 0.02 btc should be good enough

I am warming up for tonights Champions League and I saw that Sportsbet Bet 6-6 promotion is ready again with Premier League Round 5 and this six matches:

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brentford
Burnley vs Arsenal
Norwich City vs Watford
Aston Villa vs Everton
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City
West Ham United vs Manchester United

It's going to be tricky predicting results of this matches because some of this teams are playing in Europe tonight and tomorrow.
I don't have oracle or time machine so I will have to follow my gut felling again

Yup there is, I found the table name yesterday it's called auto roulette la partage under evolution gaming.

I don't know much about the fantasy stuff but the daily special is worth a shot at the given odds : Ronaldo, Lukkaku and Salah to score 7 or more points in fantasy @7.00

Last week, Salah got 8points against Leeds , Ronaldo got 13 points against Newcastle and Lukkaku got 13 points against Aston Villa.



Edit : One down two more to go, Salah got 12 points in.

Ronaldo, Lukkaku and Salah to score 7 or more points in fantasy @7.00

I took this ... but I have a counter question.

What if one of these three guys, for some reason, remains on the bench for the entire duration of the match? Will the bet be considered lost or canceled?

[boltz]

I do have a feeling that Liverpool might make a draw today or at least having a hard game beating Crystal Palace as this team is so unpredictable because they could play a game in a very bad mood and suddenly next game , they will play a super offensive football and will score goals. This is the main reason why I'm thinking to pick at least Palace score in 1st half and maybe draw or Palace as double chance ? Worth the risk ?

I think there's a high chance that the bet will be marked as a loss, but hopefully all of them play all the way or at least snag enough points before getting benched.

The bet will be considered a loss probably as per fantasy rules. Salah more than did his part this afternoon two more to go. The other 2 guys will play for sure and we shall see if they will have what it takes to breach that 7 point line. It is much tougher for strikers, one less point for goal and no points for clean sheet.

I would like to see some EPL Fantasy betting markets as well where we can choose our fantasy bets and put them on multi tickets. For instance default points spread for every player, it would be something like 7 for Salah, but 1 for the guy that almost never plays any minute, and so on...

I opened a fantasy thread yesterday, so if there is some fantasy enthusiasts here, come join us

What was I thinking when I believed that Liverpool will have a hard game yesterday ? Sometimes I forget that they have same players for 3 years now and I think they can play with each other with eyes closed at this point because they simply know every positions of the other player and the passes are simpler than ever for them.

Today, I do hope that United will not let me down.

I took this ... "Ronaldo, Lukkaku and Salah to score 7 or more points in fantasy @7.00"

A bit disappointed .... M'United won and Ronaldo scored a goal but still he got only 6 points ^{[it will be especially unpleasant if Lukaku still passes the 7-point hurdle]}. I came to the conclusion that the situation with Salah is almost identical, maybe the whole point is that, unlike the striker, midfielder gets more points for goals scored?

Yep, scoring from FPL rules:

For each goal scored by a goalkeeper or defender   6
For each goal scored by a midfielder   5
For each goal scored by a forward   4

Salah also got a point for clean sheet, and another 2 bonus points, that part is a bit complicated to explain. Let's just say that 3 "best players" in every game get extra bonus points

For a clean sheet by a goalkeeper or defender   4
For a clean sheet by a midfielder   1
Forward - 0

Player gets one point for playing, then another point for staying on the pitch for 60 minutes or more and then you add the above. There are also negative points for cards and missed penalties...

Live casino hero update:
there is now just 135 players left, and that was before the weekend, I am hoping less then 100 come the Monday and table update.

Liverpool actually did have a hard game. Result - wise it looked clean, but Liverpool scored all 3 goals from corners and did not really create that much compared to other games this season. Statistically it also seemed like we dominated but even Klopp said that we grinded the result - which is also really important and shows the character of the team.

Considering the heavy rotations in defence, I'm really satisfied with our performance - keeping a clean sheet in these circumstances is really difficult.

With today's update it's now down to 117 that means 18 players got eliminated throughout the weekend, it's not a lot but it's still early days though.

Yesterday Ronaldo was projected to earn 7 points since he was one of the top three players in the match but thanks to the 90th minute penalty save their goalkeeper took one of the top spots and claimed the bonus points. On the other hand Lukkaku only manage to get 2 points against Tottenham.

[arallmuus]

Today marks the 15th day after the contest started and we are left with only 117 players so thats 0.00854 for each right now. Its decent prize and so far I am in profit of around 2mbtc. So regarding the 15th day checkpoint reward, do we need to claim it manually or it will be sent to us? I dont see any clickable button on the 15th mark though

On the other hand Lukkaku only manage to get 2 points against Tottenham.

So Lukaku only gets point from playing huh lol.

I did have the same feeling for some reason, and that's why I predicted 2:0 in favor of Liverpool, instead of my usual 3:0 or 4:0.



As a Liverpool fan I should have been a bit more fanatical this time for sure.  


Taking the opportunity to call on btctalk users who might be reading this post I want to say that we need only 2 more participants in our  Sportsbet.io's Bitcointalk Pool to get additional 0.1 BTC added to the prize pool. ( I hope it is still in effect, please correct me if I'm wrong)
