Right. Here are my picks. I picked against Toronto in honour of my rationale that some underdogs gotta win;)
Yup, no draws. 2.5 BTC, easy.

What do you mean no draws? I always end with 5+ draws in MM, 6 this time. These MM promotions look tougher and tougher. I have a feeling we will have another low scoring one on our hands

Here are my selections for what it is worth:
Arsenal FC - Liverpool FC. 2
Atlanta United FC - Orlando City SC. 1
FC Krasnodar - FC Rostov. X
FK Lokomotiv Moscow - FK Zenit Saint Petersburg. 2
FK Spartak Moscow - PFK Arsenal Tula. 1
KV Oostende - RSC Anderlecht. X
Montreal Impact - Toronto FC. X
Olympique Lyonnais - Dijon FCO. 1
RC Lens - Paris Saint-Germain. 2
Santos FC SP - CR Flamengo RJ. X
Shandong Luneng - Dalian Professional FC. 1
Stade Brestois 29 - Olympique Marseille. 2
Stade Reims - LOSC Lille. X
Stade Rennais FC - Montpellier HSC. 1
Vissel Kobe - Yokohama F Marinos. X

I simply meant I'm going back to my roots. And hell, who knows, one of these days we get a MM with no draws. Problem with me is even picking draws, I miss the actual draws.

MM's definitely getting tougher every edition. Hopefully, EPL brings back MMs we actually can have a real clue about. Then again, all the super predictors will also be scoring high!

Same here been busy with some other things and forgot to post my selections. I did place them a couple of days ago and it did seem to be going quite well until todays first game.
I had 3-3 from yesterdays matches but picked kobe for the first match of today which just ended.
Will see how the draws on the ones I picked goes towards the 5+ games left to play later in the day.

Best of luck to everyone who had their selections put in for this weekends multimaster.

[buwaytress]

Kobe drew, so the bookies were right on that one after all, as was Trofo;) So good luck on that buddy!

Doesn't look like a good start for me at all, 1 out of 4 so far and the Chinese one looks headed for a loss eheh. But if the stars shine for me, we will not see any other draws!

Anyone saw Sportsbets specials? So many chinese/japanese ones, but I don't pick specials I know nothing about haha. Multi Magic looks risky but I went for it anyway!

[rdbase]

^^
I don't know anything about Chinese Super league either.
I had the last one as another loss which just ended. After that Dallan match I am 0-2 matches so far for me.
Here are my selections for this one for those who want to follow my picks:

[morvillz7z]

I think there is something wrong with the current leaderboard, at the time of writing this post 9 games have finished (including the Lens/PSG which is postponed). Atalanta and Orlando (game #10) playing right now, and in the leaderboard, we have two guys with 9 correct predictions (three draws and Dalian Pro win)...hard to believe, also, people with all correct guesses used not show up in the standings unless they get one wrong. So yeah, weird!

Anyway, super annoying that Vissel Kobe scored two goals in 90+ min, some of us had Yokohama F to win. At least i got something out of it...screen.
Rest of my predictions:

KV Oostende - RSC Anderlecht
Olympique Lyonnais - Dijon
Impact Montreal - Toronto FC
Vissel Kobe - Yokohama F. Marinos
Shandong Luneng Taishan - Dalian Pro
Stade Rennais - Montpellier
Spartak Moscow - Arsenal Tula
Arsenal - Liverpool
RC Lens - Paris Saint-Germain
Atlanta United FC - Orlando City SC draw
Stade de Reims - Lille OSC draw
Lokomotiv Moscow - Zenit St. Petersburg
FC Krasnodar - FC Rostov draw
Stade Brestois 29 - Olympique de Marseille
Santos - Flamengo draw

Ah I thought Kobe lost because when I checked they were down 2 goals at the 86' mark so I guess they hustle and got the 2 to draw.
Still lost on that draw like a few others on my betslip.
Can't wait until they get rid of these Chinese/Japanese league games in the multimasters as there should be plenty of games when the other leagues start up the first weeks of September so we can have a normal one for a change.
Even the russian games are tough to figure out. I never watched them before and dont enjoy even watching the final few minutes to see what the results would be.
But that is totally up to them to decide what to do for the next one.

After watching the highlights, you should feel unlucky, Vissel Kobe could have gone away with the win, missed a great opportunity in the 93rd min. Imagine scoring 3 goals in 3 minutes, only in Japan    I finished this week's edition with 7 correct picks, winner likely with 10 or more, but better than having 4 or 5 like the previous weeks.

Can't wait until they get rid of these Chinese/Japanese league games in the multimasters

+1 I want them all gone, Brazillian matches, MLS...two more weeks and everything should get back to normal.

[ralle14]

I manage to get 7 as well happy to see my name posted up high in the leaderboards but was one win short for the prize.

The draws paid off for me but the Santos pick at the end was unfortunate as they get destroyed by VAR.

I couldn't agree more, those matches really need to go.

Wait.. what?
When I checked the leaderboard with 3 games left to play I saw there was a sole person with 9 correctly selected.
But when I went back to check they were no longer on there (they had a name I never seen on there before something like Ph1x***) and has 6 separate winners with 8 after seeing my ticket was graded.
I had 6 wins started off with all 3 correct for the first day but didn't have any correctly picked yesterday.
So at that point knew I didn't have a chance to catch up with todays remaining matches.

Can't wait until they just have Premier/La Liga/Bundesliga just like they've had before for the matches in the multimasters to choose from.
Even tennis from the ATP/WTA would be better than these matches playing at weird times. Where most can't watch them unless it is 3/4am in the morning.

Tennis will be hard to do, because you only know the match-ups 1-2 days in advance, but would like to see that as well. What about a NFL-only MM ? Week 1 will be in two weeks with 16 games to be played.

I joined the MM this weekend as well again via a friend, but I forgot what I told him to pick and I can't even access the leaderboard no more. Waiting for a nice surprise, when I next talk to him, unless he already gambled my 300mBTC away in the meantime

[rdbase]

^^
Maybe he was the one who had 9 on there when I checked it the last time but there were a few games left to play.
Wouldn't know why they would remove them though.
Should of screenshotted it so to post it here.

But yes, tennis would be difficult juts thought it would be nice to try out for this weekend's since the US Open is starting tomorrow.
But the NFL games would be easier to organize without the players having walk offs.

update: Nevermind. There are 15 winners of this week's multimaster with 9 correct out of the 15 matches.

[ralle14]

What about a NFL-only MM ? Week 1 will be in two weeks with 16 games to be played.

That would be awesome if they suddenly switch to the NFL so we don't have to pick between the draws anymore. 

If not I hope they put up seperate promotion for the NFL season just like last time.

Maybe he was caught multi accounting or something similar that's against the rules of the promo.

I saw that but I believe it was only because the table showed results from last week MM at that point. No way anybody had 9 at that point and there was a bunch of guys with 8 with all the Sunday games to be played. It was some mistake from Sportsbet side for sure.

I manage to get 7 as well happy to see my name posted up high in the leaderboards but was one win short for the prize.

Same here, this is already 6th or 7th time I was one away from the money. Good thing I managed to break the barrier on one of the eSports MM but I had to share the reward with a lot of people so meh.

I personally want the Japanese/Chinese games removed from the multi master but I think they add value to the competition making it more difficult than predicting major European Leagues.The games there do change a lot and there are a lot of turn arounds which is something we are missing in European Leagues from some years now.

[buwaytress]

I actually ended up with 7 correct, after a horrendous 1 out of 5 picks, how bout that eh?

I concur. I have said in the past I'd prefer predicting on leagues I'm familiar with but maybe it's only fair to the wider userbase who actually do watch and play and bet on these leagues -- after all, Chinese league is the sleeping giant. I don't watch too many games from there, and only when extremely bored but they do seem to be picking up in quality. And the same unpredictability we used to see in the European leagues before.

[rdbase]

New multimasters promotion is up and it looks like we have the world teams to bet on for this weekend.

[buwaytress]

Interesting! I put a couple of parlays down on the Friday lineups already, but none of them are in this MM. What do you think about upsets here? England might wobble (if you think the Maquire incident will have an impact, and English teams usually can't escape some kind of scandal haha). But I'm also considering a Turkish upset from the Serbs... will have a think before putting my selections on this one. Exciting!
