Well, statistically eSports is a 50-50 (no draws) where football is 33%. Also, during eSports Multimasters there were at least 5 strong favorites with 1.2 odds or lower per round, in football that will not happen.
Bottom line - it's easier to have more wins in eSports, but I'm sure I have more chances of actually winning some cash by playing Multimasters now where at least I know how most of the teams I bet on play.

I am not so sure, I played all Multimasters until now and was 1 selection away from money at least 5 times. Only time I managed to get shared reward was on esports. We used to have 1.2 odds on football as well. There was always few big favorites like Barca, Real, City with small odds.

Also we had much bigger chance of somebody actually getting 15 correct scores on esports since there is no draws. I don't think it is possible to get 15 correct on football but hopefully someone from this forum will prove me wrong soon.

Looking at the selections I had to pick the favorites for the korean football matches because I have never watched a game of theirs before.
Here are my picks as the first game starts in about 10-12 hours from now. So good luck to those who choose in participating in this weeks challenge!

[morvillz7z]

Subbed my predictions a few hours ago and decided to share it this time around.
I'm not sure which is harder, to guess right two CS:GO matches or 5 South Korean matches, i'm not complaining...
Weird that i choose to back up Schalke to win and Hertha to draw considering their current form....that's probably a mistake on my side.
Put a bunch of draws for K1 League games as i have limited information about their league.
Anyway, gl everybody!

Gangwon FC v Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors
Busan v Suwon Bluewings X

Ok, here are mine. Didn't have time to do some research on the south Korean ones and don't know nothing about that league - just that there aren't that many goals scored, so draws are more likely to happen and thus I tossed two draws in . The Stuttgart odds are extremely low and I normally lay anything below 1.70 in 2. Bundesliga, especially for away team, but not much hope for Dresden I think. Even the players have already given up, before the game has even started. They just came out of quarantine and will face the best team in 2. Bundesliga on paper, that just got a huge confidence boost with an injury time win over Hamburg on Thursday evening. But Stuttgart is Stuttgart and 2. Bundesliga is 2. Bundesliga, so if they fail to win, this wouldn't be the biggest shock ever to me. But still for this MultiMaster I had to take the away win, because everything points to them eating Dresden alive.

Since we are all sharing and I am at home this morning I'll give it an effort and share my "100% sure winning" selections

It helped that Sportsbet shows bets a little nicer now and that my mate tyKiwanuka already posted something I believed very similar to my own pics. I am a lazy bastard so everything helps.

I still lost 5-10 minutes and we actually had only 2 different selections. So that means you will end with 13 correct selections this MM, sorry mate I need that main reward for the summer

@rdbase: same here, I picked all but 1 of the favourites in K-League. Oh and I went for another MM without a single draw.

@Trofo: That info's been passed up way up (about sharing betslips) -- but it's a big programming issue. I'm sure they'll surprise us about it sooner or later though.

My picks:

You not backing any heavy underdog, seem even more unusual, doesn't it ?

Not being able to participate sucks, meh!

I am not really buying the story that it is a big programming issue. Maybe I am wrong but I did some web design in the past and I can think of at least few simple ways to do it without even doing any research.  We are not asking for some extra stuff like betting slip which you can one click copy to follow it. This first step is just to share info about our bets, they could made it like simple html print so you just share a link or maybe even picture which could be automatically hosted on imgur and then you share the link again. There is many ways to go about it that shouldn't be heavy to program.

And if sportsbet uses "big programing issue" as official excuse they are basically saying that most of the competion has better teams of developers. After all they all made it, so sportsbet could even copy some ideas.

Don't get me wrong I still rate Sportsbet as one of the best if not the best BTC betting site and that is why sometimes I ask and expect a lot of them. It is just an effort on my part to get that perfect betting page so that I don't need to use any other.

[Harkorede]

I don't think you're wrong by any means, betslip sharing shouldn't be much of a task and It's probably just an excuse from their end or whoever said it's a big programming issue just wanted to at least give a response instantaneously without having to consult the higher ups, It's more understandable to say that's not one of the priorities on their to-do lists. Each betslip have their own unique code already, it's just a matter of copying yet to be started event into another user's betslip.

For what it's worth Sportsbet already have a feature that I haven't seen on any other sportbook till date, which is keeping your bet selections for as long as until you clear them, when your session expires or you even log out, you don't lose your selections. If they could have such feature in place, then betslip copying/sharing shouldn't by any means be of a bigger programming hurdle.

Cool feature I agree. My fiat betting site does that as well, and they have one other cool feature. You can click on a button on any of your tickets to bring all the games which haven't started yet to a new ticket. It can come really handy when you make a nice multi ticket and first game goes wrong. You just copy all the rest and double the stake Fast way to recover or lose all your bank.

My best feature on Sportsbet is that they enable BTC betting without waiting for any confirmation. That I haven't seen anywhere else and I used it numerous times when I needed to make a quick bet. As soon as I click send on my wallet I can place a bet. Big thanks to the person that came up with that idea. Best thing, there is no risk for Sportsbet since you can't withdraw before your deposit gets 3 confirmations, true win-win from my point of view.


Our multimaster started quite wrong, Jeonbuk already lost and most of us had it as win. Hopefully all the others did as well

Thanks for putting up those 100% to win selections so those who dont usually participate might give it a go or even register an account to take in the fun risking fifty cents to try and win an couple hundred dollars.

As for steve getting a way for us to share our picks on the site, I had mentioned to him about an idea to get something on the site such as a troll box which every exchange site seem to have so to have a way for their users to be able to communicate to one another.
He said he will present it to his boss about implementing something like this in the future.

edit: just looked at my ticket and it lost. All the favorites in the Kpop league lost.

@Harkorede: Not looking at the form of Bayern right now, unfortunately. And I don't know enough about K-League (or shall I say I know nothing) to take stabs. I know it always looks like I go for the odds, but I'm quite scientific about it, you know =p That said, if I see the odds go above 20/1 for Dusseldorf, you bet I'm taking it!

Oh and why can't you participate? IP blocking?

@Trofo: Well, I don't know if it's actual coding (which it shouldn't then be difficult) or a problem of the architecture itself, but I did have a unique opportunity to explain to them why it's important to have a betslip that's easy to share, and one linked to a referral code (it's a big way I used to gain referrals!). And they thought it was a brilliant idea too. Let's see.

3/7 for me so far pfffft. JanPriX you're at 4/7!

[morvillz7z]

JanPriX you're at 4/7!

With Bayern's win over Düsseldorf, he has 5, five correct picks have 6 more people, pretty crowded at the top. Surprised he didn't pick Hertha to win.
Tomorrow's two K League 1 matches will be key imo, whoever manages to guess both right will most likely win.
JanPriX has had some good rankings in the last few multi-masters, it's about time he wins one. So, good luck man!

Good thing you had a chance with them to explain the importance of shareable betslip. We definitely need it and that should benefit both the users and SB itself. Hoping that they'll integrate it with their system the soonest.

Right now, I got 5/8 and currently sitting at 6th place.

~snipped~

Thanks man. Indeed, I have some good ranking in the past weeks and I always noticed that I did quite well on Saturday games. Come Sunday and all sh*t went to hell. Most of my lost games came from Sunday. Hoping I overcome it this weekend. 

[buwaytress]

@JanpriX and morvillz yeah, actually the two times I came close (and the time I actually tied for first place but had no idea I could only place 1 pick, it was my 2nd so disqualified boo), I made the majority of right picks on the Fri/Sat games.

Turned out to be right about no draws on Bundesliga, but K-League looks low-scoring.

[morvillz7z]

Come Sunday and all sh*t went to hell. Most of my lost games came from Sunday. Hoping I overcome it this weekend.  

An early congrats dude!  

You got it this time, only one game left and i just don't see Dortmund fucking it up, they are so much better than Paderborn.

Gladbach's win hasn't been added yet, worst case scenario you will share the prize with one other dude (who also has 9 atm).

It's always nice when someone from the forum wins this competition.

[buwaytress]

Them South Koreans effed me up haha, just when I was making almost a clean sweep at Bundesliga too! I'd have made it even better if this was an all-German MM as my 2. Bundesliga picks have all been right so far too, but well done JanpriX. To be honest, I really wasn't so sure of Gladbach but they got a thumping win. Even if Dortmund draw or lose, it's unlikely your opponents in MM went for the upset, so you should be safe. Nice job. I'm still hoping BVB and Leipzig don't mess up as at least I'll get a nice 4/1 parlay through courtesy Steve's Multi Magic (MM v2 haha).

Edit: Haaland still injured after all. Could see Goetze play again today later on.

[big_daddy]

I have a single for tonight 

Croatian Cup
HNK Rijeka - NK Osijek
HNK Rijeka to win @2.06

Is impossible for Rijeka to win the league, cause Dinamo ZG has already enough points, but they are not in the competition for the Cup, so this is a real chance for Rijeka

[rdbase]

Thanks man. Indeed, I have some good ranking in the past weeks and I always noticed that I did quite well on Saturday games. Come Sunday and all sh*t went to hell. Most of my lost games came from Sunday. Hoping I overcome it this weekend.  

It is looking good for you JanpriX!

I only got 8. Hahah! But I rather give up myself winning just to fall short by a few games than not have you win this whole thing!
Dortmund is not leading at the half but hoping that would turn around.

Could it be we will have our very first forum member winning the multimasters this weekend!?
I am really liking the new bet interface. Makes it much nicer to see which games were missed during these competitions.
