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.

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.

But actually boltz it is true they have the same players for 3 years but if you see the recent games they are not playing with those same players.

In defence last season somebody pointed out they had 15 different pairings. Shocking for a big team.

In offence this season they are trying out Dioga Jota in the front 3 and Firmino is not playing? Even on the right now is that new guy I see, and Wijnaldum is not in the middle anymore so you had a point in thinking it might be hard:)

Alot of soccer this past weekend so didn't get to catch all the action.
But good to see your back from vacation as I seen you mention you were going to be away for a week so I put in as many updates on the soccer blackjack as I could. But glad to see you back so you can do those again (was doing them on my limited lunch breaks so had to eat and get them in at the same time so not to be late for work ).

A very busy weekend coming up for all sports with F1, UFC title fights and of course soccer taking all our time.

Soccer Blackjack: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5323501.0
So get ready for fun times on Saturday/Sunday.

[ralle14]

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

Afaik it's automatically sent to us, I remember in the previous live casino hero I just receive a notification about the type of reward you'll get(mine used to be in the form of blackjack free chips).

We ended the season with 20 different ones. It really was shocking, I have never seen anything like that before. Top 5 pairings by minutes played were as follows:

1. Phillips & Kabak
2. Matip & Fabinho
3. Phillips & Williams
4. Williams & Fabinho
5. Fabinho & Henderson

When you look at this, qualifying for the CL really was a huge achievement for Liverpool.

Yes,,, thank you! I saw that and I will try to continue as before, only the problem (well,,, my problem of course) is almost often the game picked is very late for me, but if I work late then it is possible for me, good that we have many people to watch for it.

Weekends are indeed very fun when there is so much going on,,, either you make money or you do not  

[buwaytress]

EFL Cup but I don't know if there's a thread: Liverpool starting bright against Norwich... Bradley and Gordon so good until the former gave away a penalty, which our brilliant #3 keeper saved, resulting in an attack that almost led to our second! Our lad Kelleher's been keeping us in the game man!

A bit sad that Keita and Konate have been our worst passers haha.

Meanwhile, EPL teams mixed fortunes so far at HT:
Brentford short work 5-0 against Oldham
City 3-1 after falling behind to Mycombe (!)
Everton down 2-1 to QPR
Watford down to Stoke 0-1
Saints leveled with Sheffield 1-1
Leeds 0-0 at Fulham

New 4-3-free and Bet-6 are up on the sportsbook. The Highlight match is involving my team against Arsenal, the big London derby which unfortunately feels like it is no longer as prestigious as it used to be now that Chelsea is by far the biggest and best London club at the moment.

Draw seems to be the most possible outcome here right? Of course,,, I entered Spurs as the winner.

isn't Arsenal almost always in 4-3-free challenge?
nevertheless, I do see Arsenal coming back to upper part of the table, and maybe even a win on weekend is an option, they had a harsh start, with gunning against City broken them apart, and international break made miracle for them, two wins in a row, and they are having good momentum to crash Tottenham, that is having two loses after break, six conceived goals and none scored

Chelsea is certainly top London team at the moment

I agree, earlier I was leaning on the draw but then I changed my mind and switched to Arsenal.

There's also a couple of daily specials available on the sportsbet special tab. I'll pass on today's offer since i've been burned for a couple of days, but maybe you guys are interested in these.

It is logical that Arsenal is often in 4-3 free challenge since Sportsbet is sponsoring Arsenal and it is good business to include them in all possible promos. I agree Arsenal should be closer to taking all three points against Spurs but it is derby and you never know. One heated tackle can turn the game so quickly.

Chelsea is currently top team in the world for me, so London should not be too difficult to conquer for them

[buwaytress]

I've been burning money on specials too, and I took the ones you posted ralle14, though I've absolutely no idea what goes on in cricket so I really shouldn't be throwing money there, but it was a Clubhouse reward, so I had to use it for something!

There was an earlier one I missed backing the EFL favs: 13/1 on Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester and Spurs to win. I know it's got Arsenal and Spurs in it so hard to predict but I thought the boost was pretty good.

I also took the Ligue 1 special at 11/1: Over 1.5 goals in all today's game. This one I have a good feeling about.

I see, the leaderboard is updated recently with everyone having 16 streak so far and currently there are 114 players left. Thats 3 player less from the last update assuming that I didnt count it wrong

The mysteries you stand to uncover will include free chips and cash rewards , all of which will be based on your gaming preferences and the types of gameplay you like to explore.

This is the fine print written on the page so yeah I guess if we spend alot in BJ then we are more likely to receive free bets on BJ huh. I havent receive anything yet as of this point and I had to recheck everything to make sure that I didnt skip a day lol

I also took the Ligue 1 special at 11/1: Over 1.5 goals in all today's game. This one I have a good feeling about.

Its looking good for this special bet. 4/5 matches that start at 5PM currently have over 1.5 goals , the other one has 1 goal at half time . Another 5 matches on 7PM though but its a pretty good start

Edit : all first 5 matches ended up with over 1.5 goals, 5 more to go

[buwaytress]

I've been having a bad streak actually on BJ, even with safe play, but only because of bigger wagers on days I don't have time to play (50 0.1 mbtc hands is too long for most work days) and some chasing back has helped but also I'm going to need to switch to roulette more and more now to keep things spread out as we're barely 10% of the way haha.

Nantes took care of business in 55th minute, so the first 5 matches were all safe and dry with less than 2/3rds of game time gone. That was easy! Last week's average was >2.5 goals per game; there were 23 goals in the first 5 games, almost enough to keep the average if the remaining games were 0-0!

Stole all the goals from second batch though as they ended up getting to a slow start, only PSG-Metz ended 1-1 at HT, while Troyes and Lorient were the only others scoring one apiece by the same time.

3 games under 1.5, ended up being pretty far from hitting...

On the plus side, PSG won the game at the death after horrible reds from Metz haha... so I'm calling the 10/1 special SAFE and off to bed (woohoo), even though Real still have 2nd half to play. But they're leading 3-1. Surely Mallorca can't score 2 goals?

[ralle14]

What did you guys receive on the 15 day reward ?

While I was wagering for the daily requirement I got 30 free rounds on baccarat, each chip was at 0.05 mbtc, tried my best to win every round but I only walked away with 0.58 mbtc. Still not bad.

No I do not think so,,, usually it is the biggest match of the week according to them.

This was the last EPL picks from 4-3-free:
Tottenham-Chelsea
Bayern-Barcelona
Leeds-Liverpool
Manchester City-Arsenal
Chelsea-Arsenal

So Arsenal made the first two but those were also the biggest matches of the week

And I totally agree with Arsenal assessment,,, even though as a Spurs fan we are of course happy to see them suffer, but now we have been losing back to back and our positions are almost equal now.

People forget Arsenal lost 3 times yes, but twice to the 2 favorites to win EPL.

This is for the blackjack competition correct @ralle14?
Congratulations to those who did take part in this event when buwaytress asked if I took part. I did not because it ran too long.
And with my luck in card games I declined since I would of ran out of funds even before it ended.
Hope there were higher participation rewards offered if you did win more hands then the others on the leaderboard.

There is a new blackjack special this time but for cricket available:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/sportsbet-specials/daily-specials/cricket/mumbai-indians-kolkata-knight-riders-614b6bcac53794d44d7cd030

I haven't watched a match so I would be completely lost so I don't usually place bets on games/matches I have no prior knowledge on.

Nah, it's for Live Casino Hero, I just happened to use Blackjack to complete my wagers, but as mentioned above, going to need to switch to roulette more often as a 5 mbtc session for me at small stakes takes well over an hour, 3 to 4 dealers sometimes (each dealer has a 30-min sesh).

Took yesterday's Cricket BJ [edit: Special] but I don't take the blackjack there now with new rules as I have ZERO idea about what the scoring means either!

Edit: ralle: I got 1.6 mbtc from the same freebets. Put 30 bets on tie and got 4 (payout 8:1)!

This is a rather sensitive topic of conversation ... Are you talking about soccer blackjack too, or just cricket? Since I, too, temporarily abandoned the idea to participate according to the new rules, I am still watching, but as evil after six busts we have two blackjacks. The most amazing thing is that if I joined, then with a high probability I would not have caught Blackjack, as usually when I place bets, everything happens exactly the opposite.

I noticed I made a mistake: I meant to say I took yesterday's Cricket Special NOT Blackjack. Edited post now, sorry.

It's all cool man, don't worry. Discussions can get heated and uncomfortable when it comes to gambling and promos, I know! Soccer Blackjack is still something cool for me to play, and yeah, as I said, I'm still playing until I feel I've busted enough times. 1 hit allows you to take 20 busts, so, that hasn't happened yet

But the comment above was referring to Cricket Blackjack, it's a special from the Sportsbet resident cricket tipster Brett Lee (ex Aussie cricketer and now Sportsbet ambassador). Same push/bust/win rules, but using some cricket scoring I have absolutely no clue about =) So I've taken them in the past but not any longer with new rules until the day I actually learn something about cricket...

How about switching to 0.2 mbtc base bet instead and ditch all the side bet? That would be 25 times and probably around 20-25 minutes of playing. So far I have been using this strat for over a week and Im pretty much break even so far or probably on a slim profit. The variance is getting higher the longer we play so yeah 0.2 mbtc seems to be a proper bet so far atleast me

I would have gone for 0.5 mbtc base bet if I had alot more balance lol
