Damn Arsenal, glad I picked them, and actually placed a last-min bet on them too. I knew they had to have a win once, man the Blues must be pulling their hair out losing to the poorest form team in the table outside relegation. Still can't believe we had 2 draws to kill most of out picks, 1 draw strategy hopefully pulls me a win. 2/4 so far toma, looking good. 12 of us with 1 point.

That Arsenal win was a huge one and it keeps them out of the regulation zone and most importantly, helps keep the manager's job going into the new year.
So big ups to the gunners facing up to the challenge and coming up with a victory.
As for the multimasters, it looks like I will be the one with the least amount of wins this round. As I only had three correct out of the matches played today.
Take goodness there is a loser's consolation prize for having the least amount correct for this last week of the year.
Fitting it being a loser year and very dismal one at that.
Can't wait for it to be over to be honest.

9/15 played and there is too much red, Flamengo once again :



buwaytress, tomahawk9, mitchr4, entebah and jayce lead the pack with 5 correct picks in here, but the SB leaderboard shows users with 7 already; and some more with 6. So unlikely we will see someone from here winning this week. At least our consensus picks won nicely

The worst performance prize would go to rdbase as it stands right now.

7/9 correct picks on first day shows the level of competition going on in Multi Master. Really some surprising matches on first day and let's see what lies ahead today.

Rooting in for the guys with 5-picks.. Hope at least one of you land on the prize spot on leaderboard.

[ralle14]

Looks like rdbase is about to win the side contest now that most of us have 4 correct picks at the minimum.

West Ham looking dead and AZ Alkmaar concedes one in the end for an equaliser this isn't good for my average score.  

Edit : Just as I posted this West Ham manages to get one in, if they hold this one to a draw I might have a small chance  

[igoremr]

do you guys know what was the maximum number of wins that anyone has had in a multi cup? Has anyone had 13-14 wins?

[tyKiwanuka]

6 draws is not what we like when it comes to MM, but tomahawk9 and mitchr4 still were able to score a solid result with 9 correct picks:



This won't be enough for any prize though

@arallmuus wins the worst performance giveaway with only 5 correct picks, please PM me your BTC address. There is a tie with leea-1334 and Woohler, but arallmuus is most to the left in the table.


The all-time table, where tomahawk9 and mitchr4 share the 100 fame points, which puts mitchr4 in the Top5 in this category:



JanpriX and tomahawk9 are still looking for a double digit result after all those tries since we have this table.

do you guys know what was the maximum number of wins that anyone has had in a multi cup? Has anyone had 13-14 wins?

For the football MM's this was 12 I think. In the NFL draft MM, it was 13 if I am not mistaken. Or 14 I think I had two wrong in that one and didn't win

[notblox1]

It was a good weekend for Sportsbet clubs, Arsenal and Watford won, Flamengo and Southampton had a draw.

@tyKiwanuka thank you for doing amazing work with all this MultiMaster statistics and results tracking, and congrats to worst among us who actually won something.

Happy holidays everyone and see you all in next year 2021

Another MM lost for me   Got burned by some of last week's favorites - Chelsea with their humiliating loss to Arsenal, Norwich coming short before Watford to end their unbeaten run, then Tottenham bottling a 1-0 lead with leads after Mourinho packed the bus since scoring that goal in the half time. Other teams failed me too: AZ, Flamengo and Manchester United.  Anyway, I managed to get about 7/15 correctly for this round. I just need to remain consistent now.

@arallmuus wins the worst performance giveaway with only 5 correct picks, please PM me your BTC address. There is a tie with leea-1334 and Woohler, but arallmuus is most to the left in the table.

Congratulations @aralmuus on winning the prize. I had my eye on the price but had to forfeit it for that juicy mBTC rewards being offered (anyway, I didn't get to win).

[Avirunes]

Total surprises in last MM of this year and here we thought we would be finishing it in style   . 8 matches of PL and out of them 4 were draws and 1 match was surprise as Arsenal beat Chelsea. Both are big teams but given the performance and the squad Chelsea should have won the match. Great start for Watford as well under their new manager Xisco. With that their record of unbeaten run of first match under new manager continues.

Congratulations @arallmuus on winning the side event. I thought the side event would tempt someone and would break my worst performance but guess it is too low to beat it. 

[leea-1334]

Well done to everyone,,, shitty round for me but that is what I get for following the advice of having no draws;) But that is okay for me,,, I believe in football karma and if you get it bad like this you will get it right more so next time!

Thank you to Steve and Sportsbet by the way for the freebets,,, I saw them yesterday and used them up just that did not have proper time to come on forum:)

Tyki PMed me about this and to be honest I dont even realize that I won. I was quite sure that I might be one of the worse but not close enough to be the worst , turns out this time if Tyki wasnt the one that hosted this then he would have win with only 4 correct picks.

Btw I confirmed that I have received the 0.005 btc prize from Tyki  Thankyou for the Christmas Gift

Someone hit 13 once, cant remember when though

Thanks ! The thing is, I wasnt even trying to be the worst because its a fact that Im not that good (close to real bad) in this stuff  . I go for few favourites such as Chelsea, Southampton, Manchester United, Tottenham and some other obvious pick there but most just ended up losing


One of those days in 2021, Im probably going to win MM . There is no way that Im not going to win atleast once next year isnt it  Cant keep having bad luck all the time

[buwaytress]

^^ I hold the record for poorest round in this small group, but also the highest. I think I also hit 12/15 once in the early days, but it was my second pick actually (I accidentally made 2 picks) so it didn't count (only first counts).

Was a really bad round to not pick draws, though it was nice to see that all the games that didn't end in draws I picked more or less right.

@ty @rd I've been having a really good few weeks with SB, freebets galore, and all kinds of other prizes, so I'll announce a small side prize here also of 0.005 BTC to whoever has the picks with the highest winning odds. I'll use a screenshot of the next MM with published odds to calculate.

Only right picks will count;) If, for some reason, there is a tie, I'll pay out the same prize, up to 3. If I win it, it rolls over;)

thanks for the additional contest!

for some clarification, number of correct picks doesnt matter. but the total odds of your correct picks ? (like a parlay odds are calculated ?)

[rdbase]

^^
From what I understood the correct picks is what shows who won also used for a tiebreaker if it happens and to declare a winner if it does come down to it.
The odds would be the most important thing though so the highest wins.

The new multimasters is out for this week and to kick off a brand new year (thank the gods! ):

I actually maintain a sheet of my own to check the winning odds and the odds that I got correctly. In previous round winning odds was 406307.8131x , so someone with 0.1 mbtc stake if had all of them correctly would have pocketed 40 BTC. In round previous to that, we had 1783476.808x so around 180 BTC.  We can have something like some kind of side event if we want.

I can do in this round as well, I mean checking the odds that we achieved individually but in this round I maintained the fixtures according to the fixture time so have to do a lot of work to pick the picks from tyKiwanuka thread and put into mine to check.

[buwaytress]

^^^ Yup! You count the odds of the correct picks to win my side contest. I've actually suggested the idea before on several other threads and types of contest. I actually really like contests that reward those who pick unlikely odds and feel like they're not enough of those.

For simplicity, I'm going to use the odds based on this screenshot:


As usual, allow me to do the honours of putting my picks in first.

Borussia Dortmund - VfL Wolfsburg. 2
Brighton & Hove Albion FC - Wolverhampton Wanderers FC. 2
Chelsea FC - Manchester City FC. 1
Deportivo Alaves - Atletico Madrid. 2
Atalanta BC - Sassuolo Calcio. X
Eintracht Frankfurt - Bayer Leverkusen. 2
Everton FC - West Ham United FC. 1
Manchester United FC - Aston Villa FC. 2
Newcastle United FC - Leicester City FC. 2
Real Betis Balompie - Sevilla FC. 2
Real Madrid - RC Celta de Vigo. 2
Swansea City - Watford FC. 1
Tottenham Hotspur FC - Leeds United. 2
VfB Stuttgart - RB Leipzig. 2
West Bromwich Albion - Arsenal FC. 2

Have had my submission for this multimasters done since it was released about 24 hours ago.
Even before the sidebet was mentioned by buwaytress I might have had a reason to pick 6 draws to have it over 10 million.
Here is my screenshot:



Once again, this is the format we will be using for this week's competition to be eligible for the side bet portion of the contest.
Thanks goes to buwaytress for his generosity and good luck to everyone who participates!

[leea-1334]

Third submission in!

Thanks everybody for the continued fun of course to Sportsbet for keeping this super cool event,,, may we have 52 more fun weeks in 2021;)

My picks are here in screenshot, and thanks to buwaystress for adding on this sidebet. I bet you did not think how much that is worth with Bitcoin price now?

Great. Thanks for running the side contest. Would be great to test my excel skills again (still a learner though  ). I have created a sheet with odds and rest I am collecting "Result" field and "Picks" of players field from TyKiwanuka's sheet. Still working on it though.

Here is the sheet I have prepared: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RtvCuoUMTZjBnIasPHTn3UXcpc9LVTHkwtiW_vQcYVs/edit?usp=sharing (I still would be missing something tho.)
