Damn...I was busy and I missed to post my picks in Multimaster this week 
I see most of you predicted wrong for Monaco - PSG match, and yes French league is very unpredictable, but I wish you all the best in rest of the matches.
I will be back   

[Avirunes]

I was also busy yesterday but submitted my entry for MM in time. PSG's defeat yesterday messed things up but there are 14 matches to go still. Right now looking at leaderboard it seems no one picked Monaco win but couldn't tell for clear if the leaderboard is being shown correctly. I think there should be someone picking Monaco as PSG yesterday were out there without lot of their main players due to injuries.

My MM picks:

AS Monaco FC - Paris Saint-Germain FC (PSG)
Newcastle United FC - Chelsea FC (Chelsea)
Schalke 04 - VfL Wolfsburg (Wolfsburg)
Queens Park Rangers - Watford FC (Watford)
Villarreal CF - Real Madrid (Draw)
Tottenham Hotspur FC - Manchester City FC (Draw)
Eintracht Frankfurt - RB Leipzig (Frankfurt)
Hertha BSC - Borussia Dortmund (Dortmund)
Manchester United FC - West Bromwich Albion (West Brom)
Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona (Draw)
Inter Milano - Torino FC (Inter Milan)
Leeds United - Arsenal FC (Draw)
Liverpool FC - Leicester City FC (Leicester)
SSC Napoli - AC Milan (Napoli)
Deportivo Alaves - Valencia CF (Draw)

Not good with the first loss on PSG but I did manage to place a live bet on Monaco when it was 2-2. I wasn't expecting it to hit but that penalty to seal the win made my day .  

Well done buwaytress for the only one having the courage to go against PSG.

 First half just ended, no goal for the two teams show that the second half will be more tuff for the both team. Chelsea coach is doing everything possible to make sure the match don't end draw, for them not to lose the match for Newcastle United who is trying to defend the game to end up draw for them to qualify for the next tournament. It will hard Chelsea FC to win this match because their coach is not yet ready to make any change of the players, despite the way Newcastle United are in good position to win the match. Chelsea FC will lose for the favour of Newcastle United.

Nice win. No one could have thought PSG will lose their lead of two goals so quickly. PSG defense has always been a worrying factor. Attack and mid-wise they are good but defense is where they leak goals out and yesterday they leaked enough to hand Monaco 3 points at home.

Nice one buwaytress,,, I saw also that it was your pick of the day on your prediction thread so you won that one with some toughness. The penalty was a gift, but it was well deserved to Monaco and probably now people will say they are finally ready to take on PSG in the French league again to stop the current oil money team dominance!

[buwaytress]

Yup, I'm surprised more people didn't go for Monaco, PSG have been shaky all season long, and Monaco have been improving from their past 2 seasons' shitty performances. At halfttime of course I was already counting myself out. Won my almost 5/1 bet so am happy... should have put a HT bet on Monaco it would have been 30/1;)

Matip is fit, he'll for sure be one of our CB's. Maybe Robertson will be the 2nd one (he's expected to play) with Milner/Tsimikas on the LB position.

I agree with your midfield/forward option but in defence I expect us to go with either Milner, Matip, Phillips, Robertson or N. Williams, Matip, Robertson, Milner.
Rhys Williams is my preferred option to play alongside Matip but he's had a minor injury and is struggling to be fit, maybe even Koumetio who is left-footed. Bottom line - defensive 4 will be impossible to predict

Yeah, actually, the lineup possibility does look a lot better today than it did on the 19th, good old Robbo loves playing through pain but I'd actually rather just rest all of these "maybes" and give them a chance to get back to 80% or 90% before playing. The way it looks now, everyone's playing at 70% max and those injuries were all waiting to happen.

Salah has been sharp all season too so maybe this rest actually gets him even sharper when he's back.

I was thinking of Monaco but Neymar recovery is what shifted my mind. Well good for you...you got a good start.. Hope you keep it till the end. 15/15 is not that far for you mate... Can feel it

Yeah , he deserves some rest. He puts up a lot on field. It really upsets me when fans come up and react to such by criticizing the player for attending wedding and call them careless.

Except of course, teams are deciding to draw a lot when I thought to go for fewer draws in this MM pick. My Newcastle upset hurt me, but Spurs upset pulled me back I guess... Watford and Leipzig had to allow a draw pfft... and it looks like currently BVB is being an idiot at Berlin haha.

Edit: Dortmund just leveled. Let's get this back on track.

They all do, all footballers but yeah, Salah has the unfortunate tag of being Egypt's hope. Everyone criticizes the guy for trying to be a family man. He's strong, he'll get through this and maybe a blessing in disguise.

Something brewing in here



After weeks of rather mediocre results @morvillz7z is co-leader with 8 correct picks and we are already way past half-time with 10/15 games already played. I won't say anymore, to not jinx things, just this anti-jinx: You will never ever win this weeks MM edition

mitchr4* and myself are still in the hunt with 5 other guys with 7 correct ones so far.

*the table I posted yesterday had Chelsea win for you, but actually you had the draw, my bad

AS Monaco FC - Paris Saint-Germain FC
Newcastle United FC - Chelsea FC
Schalke 04 - VfL Wolfsburg
Queens Park Rangers - Watford FC (Draw)
Villarreal CF - Real Madrid
Tottenham Hotspur FC - Manchester City FC
Eintracht Frankfurt - RB Leipzig
Hertha BSC - Borussia Dortmund
Manchester United FC - West Bromwich Albion
Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona (Draw)
Inter Milano - Torino FC
Leeds United - Arsenal FC
Liverpool FC - Leicester City FC
Villarreal CF - Real Madrid
SSC Napoli - AC Milan
Deportivo Alaves - Valencia CF

ralle14 with some foul play here, trying to submit 16 picks to increase his chances And I was doubting my ability to put 15 picks into my table....until I noticed you put the Real game twice^^ And with different results

[morvillz7z]

The "not study get A+" meme is obviously a thing, as i said earlier i had zero time to research the games this week.

Needless to say, it's working well for my precious draws, 3/3 so far....and maybe for the first time ever. 

Atletico Madrid's win is probably what's boosting me 1 game over most people, still, 5 left 4 of which are very coinflippy imo...but let's see, it's been a while since i last had this good of a record after Saturday.

My bad on that one ^^ I copy pasted all the matches from my betslip then had to go back and add that Real Madrid match again because the betslip was bugging out and removed from my multi. While I was making the post I already had Villareal then for some reason I zoned out after having a good look on steve's multi.   Here's a screenshot of the multi.

LMAO. You savage beast tyKiwanuka. This really cracked me up.

You know what's more savage? My correct picks this week. Only got 3 out of 10. Despicable. LOL

@morvillz7z will definitely not win this one. Will pray to the gambling gods that it won't happen.

You copied my bet therefore you only get 3 wins, the same thing with me  we will be the best of the worst lol

After seeing your bet slip I predict you will have at least 3 more wins and you become a winning candidate

Wanted to come in here to say it, but a lot of hawks already saw your name, good luck to you, buddy. I have to say, those 3 precise draws are what gave you your lead so far. Most people would probably also have missed the Spurs and Monaco upsets.

It's really always all about the draws isn't it? Every round it seems to be anyway.

In the spirit of the thread, BAD LUCK to you;)

Draws and upsets are the only thing that give you lead in the MM race. One has to go ahead and take chances. Chances of getting best is slim but given the prize pool why not... it's worth it.

Great job with draws, mate. Love when someone from Bctalk is leading the race.

Nah I got the Atletico Madrid's win as well as the draw on Real Madrid but Im stuck with only 5. Im taking risk by selecting few draws especially on the Schalke's match but it didnt pay off too well for me. Getting 8/10 as well as staying on top of the leaderboard for now is great, Im excited if either one of us win

True, it is a risky move but atleast it gets you ahead of everyone else if you hit it . Sticking with the favourites still is the best move but it might ended up like mine last week, pretty lame 


Not trying to jinx this one up because but we all had the consensus of Inter Milan to win but currently Torino is leading with 1 goal and it is half time. So cross your fingers !

[rdbase]

^^
The usual is 11 wins to stay atop the multimaster table from previous competitions but I think the winner will need atleast 12 to make it as the champ this time around.
Whomever had Torino to beat Inter will get that one right since they just had a penalty scored after what looked like a probable red card in the box (full spikes to the forearm but going for the ball at the same time).
Nobody here had that one.
Still four more matches to go and hoping for everyone to draw in the rest of the EPL matches.

edit: Jezzus.. Lukaku just made it level for Inter Milan!
edit 2: And it goes exactly the other way with a penalty from Lukaku for them to go ahead.
Inter Milan up 3-2.

[tyKiwanuka]

That draw in Arsenal game was big for you I guess @morvillz7z. I would think you are the sole leader now with 3 games to go. @michtr4 had the draw as well and can still hope, I am out Top of the leaderboard will have gotten more thinned out now and you might have morvillz7z with 10 and then maybe only 3-4 guys with 9 in the hunt.

I still see no way either of you will win

3 Matches to go and currently Morvillz7z leading with 10 picks and mitchr4 with 9. The leaderboard on sportsbet.io hasnt been updated yet and currently there are only two player with 9 correct picks on the leaderboard ( one of them has to be Morvillz7z ). I would love to say 1 more correct pick would seal the deal for Morvillz7z but 11 seems to be an unlucky number. Go get 12 to seal the deal  

Both Morvillz7z and mitchr4 has different pick for the last 3 games

Morvillz7z with Leicester to win, Draw for Napoli vs Milan and Deportivo Alaves to win

mitchr4 with Liverpool to win, Napoli to win and Draw for Deportivo alaves vs Valencia
