New multimasters weekend (sort of ) is up and first game is West Ham vs Watford!

Ahh, why are so many meh games included, i thought we have last round of La Liga matches on Sunday but none of those make the list for some reason, i don't get it?!

Let's just all hope Watford get ahead of those other three teams on route for next season.
Cause they have 2 more years to go with Sportsbet.io!

They probably have a clause that allows them (Sportsbet) to terminate contract early if Watford gets in fact relegated. I don't wish that to happen, but it's quite possible.

We can speculate about contracts but they are usually much more complicated than simple terminate or not to terminate in case of relegation. Probably it depends heavily on the negotiated amount in the first place. Clauses usually go more in a favor of the negotiating party which didn't get all they wanted.

But no need to speculate at all. I firmly believe Watford will stay in PL next season as well. Grated fixtures aren't the best. This game week they have a winnable game against West Ham and they have to get at least a point here. After that they are playing against City and Arsenal which will not be easy. I see them ending on 17th position and staying in the league on goal difference 

[buwaytress]

@Trofo et all yeah Watford should get this one, even if just barely. And by their performances against Liverpool and United alone they show why they should be up here. 3-0 wins at both mind you. Norwich I will not forget drew first blood at City's season long chipping away with THAT belter of a game ah.

Anyway. Watford win this next one and they're set, so that's my MM pick, a couple of underdogs or so but that's it:
AC Milan - Bologna FC
Fiorentina - FC Torino
AS Roma - Inter Milan
Arsenal - Manchester City
Cagliari - Sassuolo
Derby County - Leeds United
FC Tokyo - Urawa Red Diamonds - DRAW
Hellas Verona - Atalanta
Manchester United - Chelsea
Odense Boldklub - Randers FC
Perth Glory - Central Coast Mariners
Napoli - Udinese
West Ham United - Watford
Yokohama FC - Kawasaki Frontale
Stoke City - Brentford FC

[rdbase]

They have the Perth Glory match in this weeks multimaster so don't miss out!

Trying a new modus operandi for this edition. Friend of mine is on a pretty good run lately and has been hitting quite some high odds. He is not a good punter normally, but every now and then has amazing gut feeling. Since he is not into Bitcoin and has no Sportsbet account, I gave him the matches and let him do the picks for me. Lets see, if he is more successful than me. Green colour this week:

AC Milan - Bologna FC
Fiorentina - FC Torino
AS Roma - Inter Milan DRAW
Arsenal - Manchester City
Cagliari - Sassuolo
Derby County - Leeds United DRAW
FC Tokyo - Urawa Red Diamonds
Hellas Verona - Atalanta
Manchester United - Chelsea
Odense Boldklub - Randers FC DRAW
Perth Glory - Central Coast Mariners
Napoli - Udinese
West Ham United - Watford DRAW
Yokohama FC - Kawasaki Frontale
Stoke City - Brentford FC

Ooooo
That is interesting you put the watford and west ham match for a draw.
Many including myself have put this down as a win for either team.
The odds for this single match has gone down for watford to win and now is at 3.4x while west ham has been about the same at 2.44x.
We will have to see as it will a do or die situation for relegation as there are two more matches left after this one.

[morvillz7z]

When you think about it, the draw makes a lot of sense for both teams (even more so for West Ham), they will get 4 points separation above the relegation zone. Unlikely (but not impossible) Villa and Bournemouth to win their two remaining matches. That's why i went with the draw myself, looking at bet365 odds for draw went down from 3.60 to 2.87.
I just hope Antonio scores one for West Ham (if you know what i mean)  

I've put so many away wins this round, something tells me that's not going to happen...

Your friend's selections look good but i have to strongly disagree on the Cagliari pick, they will be lucky to get a point at home

Fiorentina - FC Torino draw
AS Roma - Inter Milan
Arsenal - Manchester City
Cagliari - Sassuolo
Derby County - Leeds United
FC Tokyo - Urawa Red Diamonds
Hellas Verona - Atalanta
Manchester United - Chelsea
Odense Boldklub - Randers FC draw
Perth Glory - Central Coast Mariners ✓

Hehe, it wasn't me, but my friend, and I have to say I agree with his prediction Draws are always a bit meh to bet on, unless you expect a 0-0, because you will get better odds for it inplay, but here a draw is good enough for both teams imo and there is no inplay for MultiMaster^^. Three points would be better for both of them, but losing is even worse, so both teams will take a very cautious approach imo. If there is a draw in the middle of the second half, I don't see any team pushing a lot and risk that one valuable point. And West Ham as home team also has a big goal differential advantage over Bournemouth/Aston Villa, which is another point worth in the end. 1 point today will basically put them at a 5 point cushion to relegation zone, which should be enough.

Edit: Correct @morvillz7z. Lets see with Cagliari, I would have chosen Sassuolo as well, but maybe one of those times, where his gut feeling is spot on

[ralle14]

I'm convinced with your guys reasoning for the Watford match, at first I was leaning towards West Ham but splitting the point for this match indeed makes sense. I'm just not that confident with Watford to score since most of their goals came from penalties then again anything could happen at this point. Nearly 1/3 of my selection are draws and the biggest odds in my selection was the draw for the FA Cup between Arsenal and Man City.

Listing my selection by match date/time so it's easier to check.  

West Ham v Watford (Draw)
Perth Glory v Central Coast Mariners (Perth Glory)
Yokohama FC v Kawasaki Frontale (Kawasaki Frontale)
FC Tokyo v Urawa Red Diamonds (Draw)
Stoke City v Brentford (Brentford)
Hellas Verona v Atalanta (Atalanta)
Cagliari v Sassuolo (Sassuolo)
Arsenal v Man City (Draw)
AC Milan v Bologna (AC Milan)
Derby County v Leeds United (Leeds United)
Odense Boldklub vs Randers FC (Odense Boldklub)
Man United v Chelsea (Man United)
Fiorentina v Torino (Draw)
SSC Napoli v Udinese (SSC Napoli)
AS Roma v Inter (Draw)

That is not true. If you have all winning selections your name isn't listed there. So after one game it goes that all people listed will have 0, and those that got it correct will not be on the list.

That is just how MM works and we discussed it here already. I once had all winning selections after Saturday and panicked a little when my name wasn't on top of the list

Ohhh, I see. I do get it now. Thanks for clarifying that out. 

Best of luck everyone on the remaining games this weekend. We'll have UFC tomorrow and I'm definitely betting on it. Anyone here with some predictions about tomorrow's matches?

[morvillz7z]

rdbase is low-key killing it this round with 4/4 and he has Stoke to win, 20 mins left Stoke up 1:0 (hopefully i don't jinx that one for him).

Edit: Correct @morvillz7z. Lets see with Cagliari, I would have chosen Sassuolo as well, but maybe one of those times, where his gut feeling is spot on

Well, Cagliari haven't scored in 4 consecutive matches, maybe they go ballistic today? Sassuolo's defense has more holes than a slice of swiss cheese  
They are also missing a key guy - Berardi (yellow cards), i would be glad if both teams score though...

edit; make it 5/5 

[buwaytress]

I actually thought a draw was going to be a good bet too, but ended up going for Watford to show off that they can actually score (they had a 3.5x goal expected last match. Of course West Ham made it irrelevant after just 10 minutes haha.

The Sportsbet special hit though, damn! (Antonio and Deeney to score).

Off to a bad start but let's see if Multi Magic pulls through!

[ralle14]

Already looking forward to the next one since I only got 3/9.   With that said i'm kind of curious with the future multi masters, what do you guys think would be the next sports once the soccer season ends ?

On another note rdbase with the 6/9 tied with 7 other guys. Best of luck on your last six selections.

Serie A has two more weeks left, so maybe pair those matches with some Scandinavian league fixtures, K1/J1 are also available.

Mid-August will be ESL One: Cologne 2020, perhaps a few Esports multis before the 20/21 season of the major football leagues that are due to return in early September.

On another note rdbase with the 6/9 tied with 7 other guys. Best of luck on your last six selections. 

Yeah, good luck to rdbase! He is very close and should be in the mix for the top places this round!

Same here. A disaster MM this weekend. Only got 6 out of 15 games.

Regarding to your question, is there any chance that they'll include MLB in the upcoming MM? If I'm not mistaken, they'll be starting their season this week.

[tyKiwanuka]

"I" finished with 7/15, which is kind of standard for me, but I will give my friend another chance this weekend. 11/15 is an unbelievable performance from the winners with all these random games.

Regarding to your question, is there any chance that they'll include MLB in the upcoming MM? If I'm not mistaken, they'll be starting their season this week.

Don't see this. Afaik they never had a mixed MM, but it was always one sport only and I can't imagine them doing a MLB edition, as long as there is football going on. And 3-way markets are a bit safer for them

I think we will see 1 or 2 chinese football matches in the upcoming MM.

You sure about that always one sport? I am quite sure there was a couple of MM where there was some eSport and football. Last mixed one was when there was just Bundesliga 1 & 2 and they added 2 CS matches, mousesports on both of them. I remember it because I knew from the beginning I would miss those 2 games.

I remember this as well. However, it was only once or twice during the period with no sport at all so I can't really say that it counts.

I think that almost all of Multimasters I participated in were single sport - these 1 or 2 during the outbreak were the only exceptions.

It would be fun to have more sports in it though.
