I managed to get my MM bet through just before Dortmund's game this evening. Hoping they don't mess this one up for me because I have a good feeling about this one hitting the target. Lol.  Surprisingly, I made no draw selections as most team would want to win this weekend and slip ups in the last couple of weeks.



FC Union Berlin - Borussia Dortmund - 2
Crystal Palace - Liverpool - 2
Borussia M'gladbach - 1899 Hoffenheim - 1
Huddersfield Town - Watford - 2
Southampton - Manchester City - 2
Barcelona - Valencia - 1
Everton - Arsenal - 2
Bayer 04 Leverkusen - Bayern München - 2
Sassuolo - Milan - 2
Tottenham - Leicester City - 1
Manchester United - Leeds United - 1
Atalanta - Roma - 1
Lazio - Napoli - 2
Lille OSC - Paris Saint-Germain - 2
Flamengo - Bahia - 1

Goodluck to Everyone.

Yes I get what your saying but it is just a formality. Really what it is because there has been some instances already with tyku having the plain text bets submitted in error by the player of these but those where there wasn't a prize pool involved.

Agreed in the end;) So we now have four players who picked the Berlin upset (new boy made a Bundesliga milestone by scoring at 16, what a record!) so there goes my 100 BTC prize;) Good luck to you guys, I think it's wise to bet on surprise packages this season (Union, Southampton, Lille come to mind).

Liverpool up in a few minutes, I see Salah is rested, I narrowly avoided a Sportsbet Betbuilder with Salah to score haha!

Now you must be kicking yourself as Salah scored brace after he was sent in for Sadio Mane. Great game for Liverpool as they register biggest away win in 134 years. <- That's quite an achievement under Klopp. 7-0 was really surprising. Didn't thought that Crystal Palace's defence will be so clueless against Liverpool's attack.

Yes I am haha. I thought they'd throw on Origi or something to give a real rest but in the end I think our front 3 simply want to play every game if possible. 8 shots on goal and 7 found the net. Doesn't get more ruthless than that, and to see so many people behind the goals and assists, that's just the sort of motivation you need to push on for the rest of the month.

My betbuilder would have hit too, but I still got a nice output from the 5mbtc freebet from last MM. Thanks Steve and SB! Having a nice weekend so far!

Atalanta - Roma - 1
Lazio - Napoli - 2

In the live table your predictions are incomplete since you highlighted Lazio and Roma at the same time picked the opposite side. I suggest maybe posting a screenshot to clear this confusion.  



Gladbach was so close from securing a win until they concede a goal and get a red card at the very end. Hopefully Barcelona turns it around in the second half.  

I bet on Bayern Munich and I had a really unlucky day today. I hope that they can turn the game around and win the match. This was the last money I had for betting this week. I hope I get lucky about my Bayern Munich bet.

That last minute goal by Lewandowski was nice and congrats

Half-time, 8/15 matches played:



rdbase and Avirunes are leading with 5 correct picks here, while in the SB leaderboard there is one guy with 6 so far and it's the same guy that won last weeks edition, must be a very knowledgeable person

There is an armada of users with 4 correct picks in our table and if I look at ManU-Leeds game, rdbase/Avirunes both have the upset in Leeds winning there. If they are wrong and ManU wins, there are virtually gazillions of people tied at the top. So there is still hope for basically anyone to collect the main bonus prize sponsored by SB

Or a very lucky guy. He probably lose the two other pick from Barcelona's and Dortmund's match

Its no longer surprise me to see Avirunes on top again atleast for now. He was on top as well last week after halfway through. Im glad I went with Everton to win, I was going to go for draw instead but changed my mind. If I stick with Draw, I probably have only 1 correct pick now

So there is still hope for basically anyone to collect the main bonus prize sponsored by SB

Not for me . I have only 2 now and there are several pick that is pretty much similar to mine so it wont be enough for me to get anything. It wasnt anything new though, Im just bad at this lol 

[tyKiwanuka]

Don't give up yet There are prizes for 2nd and 3rd place as well. First place is out of reach, since you have the same remaining picks as Indymoney (and he leads you by 2), but if you have the 7 remaining games correct, you will finish in 2nd place with 3 others.

I suck at this as well, just not familiar enough with especially EPL, but it's still fun....to dream of 3 BTC plus the parlay payout until the Friday night game is finished, to then dream of 300mBTC until it's Saturday afternoon and to then dream of getting a share in the bonus prize - only to get nothing once again^^. Although I won something in first week of Xmas bonus special.

Nah no thanks, I want to save my remaining luck until 2020 is over. Hitting all remaining 7 games needs massive luck and I'd rather hit it on the next MM  . I'll be glad to have another 11 correct pick and make my way on top of sportsbet's leaderboard for 300 mbtc

Now that you mention this, I kinda realized that the only match that I mostly hit correctly was from the EPL. Aside from that I probably hit few correct pick if it was a clear favourite vs underdog match. The day I hit 15/15 , that would be my last MM and I probably wont touch it ever again lol

They're also against the PSG game that could be the tiebreaker between them and possibly cause another tie between lea if it doesn't go our way. Also special mention to tomahawk for the only one taking the draw on the Barcelona game that was so unexpected.

Same but for me the hardest games to predict recently is Serie A as I have little to no knowledge on most of the teams.

[Avirunes]

rdbase and Avirunes are leading with 5 correct picks here,[...]

Gladbach, Watford and Barcelona let me down. All these were dominating the matches but gave out 3 points to their opponent in the end, As for Watford, they displayed some quite dominating plays in terms of possession and shots but it wasn't enough. That loss has made Watford sack their manager Vladimir Ivic. There were quite some questions raised when he benched Troy Deeney for the match. As for Gladbach's match they had the lead but threw that in second half and same happened for Barcelona- leading  and dominating at one point but gave off the match in the end.

Up now for today, I have picked some surprise picks for the second half, lets see how it ends.

[buwaytress]

Ah it was almost a tough night too, I think Lewandowski saved a lot of points for a lot of people. We'd only have had one 5 pointer from our group if the scores remained 1-1 but hey, you don't win the FIFA best player award and not be good!

Good luck to you guys, our final remaining picks are too similar for me to catch up =D

[nelson4lov]

I just checked my MM betslip and the leaderboard and discovered I had 7/15 picks correctly. This week's attempt was sabotaged collectively by teams I trusted to deliver without problems. Dortmund, Monchenglabach, Tottenham, Napoli and Watford all lost. Then PSG and Barcelona drew with their opponents.  There goes another failed MM attempt. I would have to try again. So far, only 3 people got 8 predictions right but 4th to 29 got 7 correctly. Next time, I will just followed my guts because I originally wanted to pick Leicester and Lazio to win their games.

[arallmuus]

I dont even bother to check mine anymore after I had only 2 out of 8 matches so far btw you are missing few picks there . You should edit your previous post to reflect your correct pick so tyki could put it on the table

This week's attempt was sabotaged collectively by teams I trusted to deliver without problems. Dortmund, Monchenglabach, Tottenham, Napoli and Watford all lost.

I was going to say dont forget to add Flamengo onto the list but 90th minutes goal eventhough Flamengo is playing with only 10 players from 10th minutes. So every single one of us gets another correct pick thanks to Flamengo and quick skim through the table, it seems 2-3 people are tied with 9 correct picks on top.

[tyKiwanuka]

The results from the thread for this week:



Quite some red given the fact we had lots of consensus and there were only two draws.

9 correct picks: JanpriX, tyKiwanuka
8 correct picks: ralle14, Avirunes, Turquinito, leea-1334, entebah, (jayce), (Woohler)

I don't think this will be enough for a prize in the overall competition - there will be someone with 10 correct picks pretty sure.

Barcelona - Valencia - 1
Sassuolo - Milan - 2
Atalanta - Roma - 1
Lazio - Napoli - 2

No matter if I use the bolded picks or the actual number behind the matches for nelson4lov's picks, he doesn't get more than 7 correct. The shared betslip doesn't show the picks unfortunately and the user didn't bother to come back and fix his post/picks.


The all-time stats:



JanpriX and me share the 100 fame points and this puts JanpriX in second place in this very important category He also catches up with Trofo in the wins category, sitting at 5 now each.

12 correct picks is still the record held by buywatress and 2 correct ones the negative record held by Avirunes.

Indymoney still with the best average from those who have a decent sample size. But this is all very close; and amazing that it's nearly impossible to go above 8.x. Only getting ~50% correct on average sounds kind of poor, but shows how difficult it is to get things right in the big leagues.


I wish you all Happy Holidays, stay safe and see you next time, whenever that is

[buwaytress]

Thanks ty for the excellent rundown as usual. Went for a lot of fancy picks which unfortunately didn't really turn out this round, well done to thw 9-pick boys, I think a lot of last min goals won/lost it for us all. Well done to toma for I think the pick of the week: Barca's draw vs Valencia, only you made that right call. I win the egg on this round;)

[Avirunes]

11 guys with 9 picks. Damn! I thought I was the only one who had the hard second half with picking 2/7 correct picks on final day. Leeds with bad defence, Napoli without their key players, Spurs getting thrashed by Foxes and couple of more surprises is where made me slip. BTW Congrats @Janprix and @tykiwanuka for getting little less than 30 mbtc from the actual MM pot and share of top prize from the thread pot. GG

@tykiwanuka I saw you putting results manually yesterday in sheet for live events. So I thought of maybe work on it just cutting your work a bit. Did a bit of search and finally I was able to get the scores from the flashscore event links using importxml but it only works when the event is finished. Live event shows "-" in the sheet. Though I have converted that into personal sheet to keep up with my MM records (well actually to play with sheets) but in case if you still want to see it or add it I can send you that.

Thank you, my pleasure

Thank you. It's actually not that much work all in all; putting the picks into the table probably takes the most time and I am always scared to do a mistake After that I just put in the result (1X2) and make the wrong picks red - the rest is done via formulas/formatting. But as said earlier, I can give access to all regular/longterm users, so when you PM me an email address, you can improve/pimp the table, if you like. And you (or anyone else) can be my backup, when I am not available^^

I just don't want to make it editable for everyone, since there are weird people everywhere, who like to destroy things.

Well that was fun even if I was mediocre AF through the 3 weeks. Thanks for allowing me to enter the competition guys, I did enjoy participating.
Congrats to the prize winners & Happy Holidays.
