The leaderboard seems glitchy.

Seems some people here are with 11 picks and i have a feeling the winner will end up being 12

[tyKiwanuka]

Here are the very good results:



ralle14, Janprix, Indymoney, Turquinito and rohang win our little internal round this week with 11 correct picks, but since all favs won today, I am not sure, if it will be enough for the overall leaderboard. Atletico gave us a scare, but the only consensus pick won in the end. For the other high consensus ones, only Everton disappointed us. Really annoying when you go against the fav with a draw and then the dog actually wins^^ The favourites mainly doing their job this weekend results in very good performances overall and since I was a bit bored during the Dortmund game, I calculated the average correct picks for the last 6 weeks:

Week 53: 8.80
Week 52: 6.68
Week 51: 6.86
Week 50: 6.30
Week 49: 8.85
Week 48: 5.74

As you see a very good week

The all-time stats (sorted by fame points this time, don't get confused^^):



We never had 5 winners, so there are only a measly 20 fame points per winner this week.
After 17 weeks ralle14 was able to score a win again and his max went from 9 to 11, well done. JanpriX also went from 9 to 11 in the max category, Indymoney upped his to 11 and is close to a 8.x average now, chapeau.
Turquinito and rohang got their first fame points ever, take good care of them

Here are the sorted averages from users with at least 8 participations:



See you next week with fresh hopes for some BTC

Here is the leaderboard right after the Chelsea vs Manchester city match just ending.

So just need to wait to see who got the 12 games correct to get the top spot, as I don't think it was anybody from the table being updated above.
No EPL until January 12th so no more of these draws(surprisingly only Wolves had a draw ) to worry about in the next one.

7 people had 12 correct picks. Too bad none of us make it this time, it would be nice to have a share of the 300mbtc especially when btc price is on ATH

Dang so we will have alot of random match across the continental again probably for next week

Its always the same everytime. Whenever we think this group has been doing great with 11 correct picks, there will be always few people that actually make it with 1 point ahead. You know what, it would be nice if any of us can make it to the top of sport'sbet leaderboard and take a share of the 300mbtc every single week.

Here are the sorted averages from users with at least 8 participations:

Turns out Im not doing that bad on average with 7.1


Here is the updated leaderboard with player that has 12 correct picks

[rohang]

Damn looks like i missed by 1 again

If the bitcointalk prize was there 7people wouldve got something nice

Lets try again next week!

We had some crazy competition in side event organized by @buwaytress. I also enjoyed watching the leaderboard along with the matches, also realized that anyone has chance to win despite if their no. of correct outcome is not much.As for the result now, we have new participant (not that new  ) winning this round's side event.  @Turquinito    has won the side event with highest odds - 1060.21x . It was his 8th attempt in MM and he has already won something while participating.


Here is the leaderboard of the side event:




It was really fun in the side event with a good competition amongst us. Thanks    @buwaytress    for holding this side event and making it possible to try out this new competition idea. I am definitely gonna come up with this idea (thanks to rohang as well for dropping out this idea) of competition in future again if I manage to win the MM. Probably with more prizes and good prize pool, but for now sad to see this end here for now.

Impressive run by the ralle14, Janprix, Indymoney, Turquinito and rohang for making it to 11 in this difficult MM once again. Sad to see them winning nothing in the end but I will say this- you are not that far from winning. It was not as surprising week as we usually have. Someone with 15/15 correct picks would have won his ticket with @75445.30405x odds, so someone staking with minimum qualifying amount of 0.1 mbtc would have won 7.5 BTC.


I was actually hoping for 1-2 surprises at least in last day but it was all favourites day... ugh!

[ralle14]

This round was quite interesting with all of the favorites winning at the last day I really thought we had a shot at winning the main prize. At the very least I got some sweet fame points and bumped my average. 

Next time I really have to take the underdog or draw on the early game the last time I got 11 I was in the very same situation and I think the big factor there was getting the early game correctly.

[buwaytress]

Damn, this reminds me of the time I DID win MM, sharing it with 6/7 others also with 12 picks. This was a single-draw round as well, which is how I got that win, but woe is me for picking upsets more. On the bright side, I hit two big parlays going on the favourites, and another parlay with 1 remaining leg to win, plus if Benfica actually wins tonight, I'll hit SB's Sunday favs parlay of 14/1!

Anyway, thanks so much for freeing up my work @Avirunes! I actually ran a contest a couple of years or maybe 3 years back based on odds (highest points wins) so I might revive that if you and rohang want to do something similar. And yeah, isn't it nice to win something for taking risks?

@Turquinito, pls PM me your preferred BTC address for the side prize!

[Turquinito]

@Turquinito, pls PM me your preferred BTC address for the side prize!

Dreams do come true.
Thank you for your generous prize @buwaytress, I confirm that it has been received.
Wishing everyone here lots of prosperity in this new year.

Wow!! Seems like you are having quite a weekend hitting parlays. I hope Benfica wins tonight and land you on successful 14/1 parlay as well as other SB Sunday special backers.

Anyway, thanks so much for freeing up my work @Avirunes!

No problem, I enjoyed doing it a lot  .


Off now waiting for the next one... We had quite some favourites this week , maybe a bit of change with surprises next?  . Whatever it is , competition is tight now with BTC soaring high and I am sure that MM has gone popular now and lot of new users joining.

[Inagame]

This was probably one of the most exciting betting competitions I ever participated
Congratulations all the winners for great results!

Wow they halved the prizepool, understable since btc is at all time high

[rdbase]

^^
Yes but as steve had explained on the main Sportsbet.io ann thread, the prize is still above the amount in euros.

Here are my selections for the week's multimasters as I have only two draws.
We will see how Man Utd fair against Man City in todays EFL Cup match and if they will have any more energy when they go up against Watford this weekend.



Once again, best of luck to all who wish to participate in this round!

[tyKiwanuka]

150mBTC is still huge with these BTC prizes and it was just a matter of time to see it getting lowered. And if MM isn't stopped midterm, this might not be the last time^^ But it's still great fun no matter the prize, though there is also a high frustration level sometimes, lol.

My picks:

Gladbach - Bayern
Aston Villa - Liverpool DRAW
Celta Vigo - Villareal DRAW
Sevilla - Real Sociedad
Benevento - Atalanta
Atletico Madrid - Athletic Bilbao
Leipzig - Dortmund
Arsenal - Newcastle
Manchester United - Watford
Southampton - Shrewsbury Town
Roma - Inter DRAW
Parma - Lazio
Udinese - Napoli
Ajax - Eindhoven
Flamengo - Ceara

These FA Cup matches are really hard (for me). I would think that the teams who still play CL/EL are not super interested in advancing with this brutal schedule, but even with resting some players, they should still be able to field a good squad. And these bench players of course want to show themselves, to maybe get more playing time further down the road (or a new contract).

[buwaytress]

I go for a 2-draw strategy, and a huge Watford upset, because well, Manchester United;) Also, seeking an Eindhoven and Ceara upset (sorry Flamengo).

Arsenal 15/1 to win FA cup again but I think they can't repeat the feat.

Nevertheless, good luck to all. Here are my picks in text format and screenshot:



Gladbach - Bayern. 2
Aston Villa - Liverpool. 2
Celta Vigo - Villareal. X
Sevilla - Real Sociedad. 1
Benevento - Atalanta. 2
Atletico Madrid - Athletic Bilbao. 1
Leipzig - Dortmund. X
Arsenal - Newcastle. 1
Manchester United - Watford. 2
Southampton - Shrewsbury Town. 1
Roma - Inter. 1
Parma - Lazio. 2
Udinese - Napoli. 2
Ajax - Eindhoven. 2
Flamengo - Ceara. 2

After missing MM round for the festive season, it's time to get back in the game. I've just made my selections for this week's MM challenge:



First of all, I don't think Man Utd will want to lose to Watford after they lost their chances at a possible EFL title this season. Inter lost yesterday but since Roma is playing at home, my money is on them to win it. Napoli lost at home to Spezia yesterday so that game against Udinese is a must win. The only games I'm skeptical about is Arsenal and Sevilla. Both teams lack consistency.
