It was pretty sick for City to not win the game against Everton. I was pretty happy when Haaland scored those goal then Crystal palace scored as well which only left us with Newcastle but then somehow only Crystal Palace ended up winning their game lol

I was also surprised by that as I had a bunch of parlays lined up for Man City and Newcastle thinking they'll somehow get a late goal but I guess not.  

At the very least Arsenal saved me from having a bad day and I even got a free bet while tuning in to the clubhouse tv stream.

^Great odds, and one I took quickly when I saw it Newcastle and City should be a shoo-in, so I consider this a 5/1 bet on Palace (Zaha anyone to take them to 3-0?). Arsenal one, not sure, though, can't really feel super confident about Brighton getting 3 SOTs.

Hope you guys didn't forget to put in picks on the Bet-6-6... Free chance and your last one for the year to get the 100k USDT. I'd settle big time for the second prize on this one!

New Year will be nice if Arsenal win, and then Liverpool get their next one too as I had a really long acca with just those 2 games left.

Arsenal seem to be the team too rely on for a win on their acca this season. Atop of the league and 4 points clear of Man City.
They seem like Kings of the EPL world with both their rivals ending in draws yesterday.
Brighton must of got their three shots on goal after putting in 2 late goals when Mitoma was subbed into the game.

Yes @arallmuus was expecting another Man City win after Haaland scored that was certainly disappointing to see a draw at the 64th minute when Everton's Gray scored. Same with Newcastle, as someone had said earlier: They were shoe ins to win their matches.
BUt alas, that is the EPL for you. Never know until the final whistle is blown.

Arsenal did save the day for many @ralle14 with recouping for their losses on the day from the prior matches.
Me being one of them.

Hopefully the next two matches will end as predicted with both favorites winning:
Totteham Hot Spurs vs Aston Villa

Oh wow, Arsenal won so thats left with only Liverpool on your acca. Liverpool could easily win against Brentford and fantasy indicated that Toney Ivan, their current top scorer has 50% of not playing against Liverpool so it should be fairly easy for Liverpool to secure 3 points.

Actually, my bad. I was pretty damned sure I made a 5-leg acca ending with tomorrow's Liverpool tie with Brentford but my mind remember differently from the actual bet placed. This was the last of my surviving freebets given out by Sportsbet during the World Cup.

I actually fear teams like Brentford more than teams like City, honestly. We have an easier time fighting conventional 4-4-2 and 4-4-3 and have always faced problems with teams who play like Bees: quick long pass counter from the back and aerial domination.

Holy heck, iirc your favourite team is Liverpool isnt it. I wouldnt ever go or bet on Manchester United to get a draw or lose lol, like I'd rather skip the betting part and just enjoy the game lol. I mean its just feels weird alongside of the game when I bet on my favourite team to take a draw while I honestly want them to get full 3 points

[buwaytress]

New Australian Open specials are up, you need to opt in!

https://sportsbet.io/promotions/2023-01-australian-open-promo

Only Nadal has the outright promo, so I'm wasn't sure about taking it, but hell, I'm sure he wins at least a couple of games, so that's $20 coming in freebets already!

The in-play offer's what's interesting, but I probably won't be able to make any bets this week (no min odds, $125 bet and you get $25 freechip). Value!

Haha yup. Today I get to just bet and only find out the result late, late tonight. Probably good to have some days like these as watching Liverpool in the last couple of games have not been good at all for the heart.

[rdbase]

Liverpool is a hard to watch team at times.
Brentford really did one over on them the other EPL matchday. Luckly I had them to win w/btts @8.60x early on in the day and it was insured with the last 3rd goal by the bees. The odds did inflate all the way up to 10x by the time the match start time. But I had already placed my bets already so all I had was to wait it out.

Today's matches were a bit easier to predict with Brighton, Fulham, Manchester United to win their matches but the Arsenal vs Newcastle was the one that had everybody guessing.
Would it be high scoring match or a dead one? Well it ended in a 0-0 scoreless draw so it was the latter.

Should be a bit more easier to predict the scores this half of the season, with most if not all teams knowing where they will eventually land on the table this far into it

Btw, thanks @buwaytress for the page to the Australian Open promotion.

[rdbase]

Grab from the prediction thread for the EPL forum pool:

Chelski put up a defence, I see... Did they even try to win?

Hate to say it but Chelsea were just out played through out the match and it showed it early on and as soon Sterling got injured within the first 5 minutes of the match I knew my hopes for them beating the champions of last season were done.
Because after that Pulisic got injured as well with in about 15 minutes apart according to the play-by-play from google:

So now they face each other in the FA Cup in 2 days:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/fa-cup/manchester-city-v-chelsea-fc-638552e5529f60f169bd6872

So now they face each other in the FA Cup in 2 days:

And this is where City has the biggest advantage, their super long bench. Nobody has that much qoulity just waiting to get subbed on. Those substitution in the last game were very telling. Here are the players that came on for Chelsea: Auba, Chukwuemeka, Hutchinson, Hall and Galagher.
And then you have this for City: Akanji, Lewis, Mahrez, Grealish and Philps while Alvarez still sits on the bench as unused sub.

Ouf yeah. I made the Chelsea bet on both games long before all those injuries so now the odds are 95/10 and I only got 68/10. It usually pays to be early with underdogs but as soon as you got injuries against Citeh, you're more or less finished.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs... they do have some quality but not all across the field. Anyone who can't see the gulf when you're putting on pimple-faced youngsters or Milner and Auba as subs... well.

Just read the Australian Open promo, still a lot of time to make bets on it. Right now Rafael Nadal is only 7.5, I would think he should be at least above 10x, how is it Felix and Nick are below him as favorites? Even 2 years ago yes, but after all his injuries, for him to get even into the semifinals would be outrageous at his age.

Anyway, I'll wait for 8x or more to take this bet

Have to say I agree with you about odds value anyway.

Sometimes it does feel absurd in sports to write someone off just because they're "old" and has injuries to contend with... it's just the seriousness of his most recent one (remember Nick had the nice walkover just because of that, and that kind of tear you know is touch and go).

Yes, he won last AO, yes, the media is whipping him up to frenzy as top seed but that's only because Alcaraz is out...

So when I got him at 12/1, that was to me, enough value to look at but at odds below 8/1 now, it's not really. However, this outright promo only needs him to win 3 times to get more than your money back so I'd take him now anyway =)

Wait any longer and the odds won't improve I think...

[rdbase]

^^
@buwaytress & @slaman29

The AO promotion is looking good and the odds for Nadal has changed back to 11.00x so there maybe value to some to grab him at those odds now.

This outright promotion is just so sick. I dont really follow Tennis anymore but how many rounds are there going to be until the final? with minimum of 50 usdt worth of outright bet, Nadal just needed to win 5 games though then Im content with and even better if he gets through until final. Its written free-bet though so cmiiw but this can be used on sportsbet isnt it?

Then, sit back, enjoy the action and every time Rafa wins, you’ll get a 10 USDT Free Bet.

Gotta need to deposit, Im almost out of balance. The World Cup final literally wiped me out  Yes you guess it right, I bet on France lol

Ah, so the odds for Nadal are back up (boost that and you should get the 12/1 odds I did.

I seem to remember the promo being $20 freebet and not $10 you mention (and as now displayed on the promo page -- so maybe I was mistaken there. Freebet of course on SB!

7 rounds in AO so Nadal would need to win QF to get all the money back, but it's still a great promo.

That is great promo but nowhere near as good as when they let us chose the winner. I wouldn't even mind if they removed Djoković from contention as the biggest favorite. I just don't think Nadal will get far, he is out of form, has chronic injury problems and if this wasn't a Grand Slam I am sure he would be out in round two or three. However this is grand slam and there simply isn't anybody that can count on a win in 5 sets against Nadal, he is a fighter like nobody else and I wouldn't be surprised if he has a lot of problems but scrapes trough and then raises his game with every match all the way to final.

[cryptofrka]

I will also start betting against Nadal quite early. I might take the promo just for fun, but it's going to be a tough GS for him.
He lost both of this season's matches (vs Norrie and de Minaur) after winning the 1st set, which probably shows he physically just can't cope anymore.

Both Norrie and de Minaur are good players, so Nadal will probably still do well in the first few rounds. But I'm taking him to lose against the first player in the top 30 he will be facing.

Yes its $10 though and if we bet using btc instead, Sportsbet only need us to bet minimum of 2.5 mbtc to qualify for the promotion and this is around $44 atm though. Yeah its a small difference but I think its just better to use mbtc than usdt if you have some bits lying around in your balance

Thus being said, I was about to bet yesterday then my balance wasnt enough so I needed to deposit to the site. Somehow I competely forget about this then when I check it earlier, I cant bet on it again  FML I guess

Think of it as a hedge on Nadal then. And yeah, these promo are just for the fun of the tournaments and not to bet more than you are not willing to put on other bets you marginally think would have a chance at winning.
Because Rafa was hurting the last time I saw him play back in September/October with an torn abdominal muscle from one match. I think that is when he withdrew from the ATP to recoup from his back issues.
I am quite hyped for the Australian Open and will be putting more than just 7.5mbtc through out the tournament in total on all bets I will make on both the men's and women's sides.

[buwaytress]

^^ Yeah, the good old days when you could pick your outright. Better still were the good old 30/1 or 15/1 specials on straight sets and such. Made a lot and Bitcoin wasn't at ATH then.

Not really a good tennis bettor but when I had time, used to bet live on the favourite after going down a set (or against them when they're a set up and this will be what I do on Nadal if I'm online during his matches). Seems much more value odds especially if you catch a great swing.

[rdbase]

EPL has a match today with Aston Villa taking on Leeds United.
It doesn't sound like a goal inspired one but since Fulham beat Chelsea yesterday 2-1,  it seems anything can happen during these single weekday games.
If you feel you know which team will take this one, then feel free to put in your selection here:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/premier-league/aston-villa-v-leeds-united-63b2297807dc5a208f907448

Will probably put in my pick for the EPL forum pool closer to the match time since I haven't decided which one will win this game yet.
