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

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.

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.

well, if there is no Chinese country participating then I don't think the match will be exciting, because it cannot be denied that China is the toughest opponent in every sporting match, they have extraordinary strength. so there is no harm if there are still players from China who are participants in this match.

I also got 5 correct (at least better than the previous MM) 

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).

Maguire is really a horrible player. His defending has been shit for Manchester United and I really ask myself to date why they spent so much in that player. He even isn't really worth above 20m Euro. I hardly think his absence would be felt in this upcoming match against Iceland but Iceland are also capable of upsetting big teams.

Actually, it can be denied... I love betting in football against China when they face some of the inner Asia opponents or even Taipei at times. They're not shit, they've been improving a lot but they're still not up to World Cup par -- do you realise a large portion of goals scored in their leagues are from imports?

As a Liverpool supporter, you have no idea how much I loved every moment seeing Maguire's confused face look when he does a blunder. But as a neutral supporter watching him play for England at the last World Cup was actually very nice!

I actually don't mind Maguire for United or England. Granted he is not the best technician or speediest defender out there but he reads the game quite well and he will get all the air duels in the match. It is up to the manager/coach to organize the defense to suit him. You have to push opposition players to the flanks and then he will make good work of all those crosses. If you leave him one on one with fast players he is doomed

Agree. He has some good qualities of defender but he isn't a complete defender. Both Van Dijk and Maguire were bought by the teams with almost same price tag but play wise and quality wise we all know Van Dijk is how much better than Maguire.

He is not such a very bad defender as I said so previously though but I haven't seen a best of him as expected. Maybe it's beacuse of the price tag at which Man Utd bought him but Man Utd. way of valuating their transfer targets has been a mystery for me as well for couple of years.

If you leave him one on one with fast players he is doomed 

Yeah totally.

[buwaytress]

Still haven't put my bets out but Iceland at 12/1 does look all right, except I think they really have lost their WC magic.

This week multi master looks a whole lot easier compared to last previous weeks and I think we are going to see at least 13 correct results from the top 10 and maybe during this week someone could hit that 3000 mBtc by finding all games results in a correct way.

[big_daddy]

Didn't they name Maguire as Manchester United's new captain last week?
I don't like him either and now as their head player I can't see much love for them in the coming season.
Pogba was diagnosed with having covid last week too, so don't expect him to be joining the squad for the first couple of games to the start of the new season in a few weeks.

Here are my predictions for this week's multimaster I put in early today. Only two draws so will see how that goes.

Well Ole thought him as the most ideal candidate as a skipper for Man United after Ashley Young left. Man Utd are supporting Maguire but I think he is gonna miss unless situation gets fixed up. Like you said Pogba was having covid and also Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also facing a 14 day quarantine after his recent Dubai holiday. But lucky for Manchester United as they have been given a bit of extended break due to their Europa league matches. So there is no match for them in 1st week of PL. Hopefully they at least get Bissaka and Pogba into lineup by then.

I did 7 last week though, won't be surprised if I stumble on this "easier" one;)

@big_daddy saw your comment on other thread but I died on the Latvia leg after all, so I'll be gutted if Israel actually DO win haha. Terrible when the favourite loses on a scoreless draw, eff me.

Jeah, just a stupid day...
I had Germany and Slovenia in a double, Germany lost (it was a draw, but for me is like a lost) in the last second of the match and Slovenia had a few great chances... good for me that I made an 1X bet on both so I’m zero profit - zero lost
Tomorrow we need to get some profits

That goal from Spain in the last minute made my day. That game should have ended 3:1 or something like that. I had both to score on two different multi tickets and was waiting just for it. Got some other very nice odds as well, Ukraine to win, Slovenia-Greece under 1.5 goals and no goals in the first half, Rusia-Serbia both to score. 

Anyway, here are my multimaster picks:
CR Flamengo RJ - Fortaleza EC CE. 1
Denmark - Belgium. 2
Hebei China Fortune - Shanghai SIPG. 2
Hungary - Russia. 2
Iceland - England. 2
Kosovo - Greece. 2
Netherlands - Poland. 1
Portugal - Croatia. X
Serbia - Turkey. X
Slovakia - Czech Republic. X
Spain - Ukraine. 1
Sunderland AFC - Hull City. 1
Sweden - France. 2
Switzerland - Germany. 2
Yokohama F Marinos - Kawasaki Frontale. 2

This one I picked based just on gut feeling and needed about minute in total. I like it this way much more.

Yup, I was just saying how the odds don't look so interesting for me, I at least avoided taking too many parlays, a lot of them would have lost with all those nonsense results, 5 games ended in draws! I might even just take a bet a day this entire weekend! Iceland still trying to tempt me heh heh.

Iceland will be my single for tomorrow, I’ll risk it

@Trofo, lucky you  , bad luck on Kosovo’s match only

Today I’m going for Italy and Netherlands to win for a tot of @2.something

[ralle14]

I have no idea about the Nations League so I took all of the favorites and a draw on the Yokohama match. Russia, Turkey and Greece I feel like these matches could end on a draw but i've had some bad luck these past few days so we'll see if it pays off. 

Netherlands - Poland   
Slovakia - Czech Republic
Yokohama F. Marinos - Kawasaki Frontale (Draw)
Hebei China Fortune - Shanghai SIPG
Sunderland AFC - Hull City   
Iceland - England
Denmark - Belgium
Portugal - Croatia
Sweden - France
CR Flamengo RJ - Fortaleza EC CE
Hungary - Russia
Kosovo - Greece
Serbia - Turkey
Spain - Ukraine

I'll ended up taking it too, and then just "insured" it with a favourite parlay that included England winning haha. If I get a bit more stupid in a few hours I might even do a few more. I mean, I bet on Poland without even reading up, I found out too late Lewandowski's not even playing as they'd given him an extended rest. Sometimes I honestly wonder how I would really bet if I actually spent more time researching haha.

[JanpriX]

I forgot to enter in MM last week so I made sure that I'll be able to join this weekend. Here are my picks.

Lost: Sunderland AFC - Hull City

buwaytress has a great chance of topping this week's multi-master, he has 9 out 10 down, missing only on the Chinese match, that's pretty impressive.

The strategy for no draws is finally working, just 1 draw in the matches played so far. I have just 5 correct ones, no need to post them heh, maybe next week.  

Anyway, good luck with the remaining five games tomorrow, i think we will have another forum member win and join a very exclusive club!
