[leea-1334]

Once again Leea-1334 we think the same in our draws.
Well atleast for the Manchester United vs Arsenal match we do.
Put in my selections for this multimasters late last night and just came here to post these up before the first match starts in about 4.5 hours from now.
I have only two draws so just hope the other matches will produce lots of goals.

And Like I said,,, it will be predicting the draws correctly that will help people win this week, or every week it seems. And I already got it wrong on the very first draw, hope the ones I pick make it but I do not like my chances when already the very first match is wrong

I hope all the teams I pick to win win it early, and then the other team does damage control in 2nd half,,,

[buwaytress]

^^ Yup, so smart of me to pick Newcastle but then of course it's all even again since I'm the only one picking Hoffenheim. They can't score 3 goals possibly to at least draw but it's all over it looks now. Why did I pick them? Because I had to risk a few outside picks to try and win this. Hard to go against Lewie and co but there you go haha.

Was nice to get 4/4 with Newcastle though. Hope that helps me at least stay on course. 4 out of 5 ain't bad.

Aint bad at all and I think 4/5 is the best start out of all of us on here so far since it had started.
I don't think anyone else went 5/5 for a start on the multimasters ever.
Well maybe Tyki did with the help of his friend.
Also noticed he didn't put his picks for this weeks on the table.
I guess his friend didn't get those to him in time to put them up on there.

I was once perfect at the end of the Saturday. Don't remember how many correct games it was but that was the time when I learned about MM table not showing players with all correct picks. I was afraid I screwed something up so went checking. In the end it came to nothing since I had bad Sunday.

That's two 4/4s in a row for me but United and Arsenal both content sharing the points, so well done to Inagame and cryptofrka for showing up now with 6/7 thanks to Leipzig taking that narrow win over Leverkusen.

Gunners should have won this though, seriously. United couldn't counter, Fernandes just looked out of sorts, I wish there were more yellows for United's back four though, they were under fire.

@Trofo: the famous Sunday malaise, has def happened to me after getting 7 or 8 by Saturday before;)

[Inagame]

Oh my gosh that was some crazy last minutes in 3 final matches today and if you can please watch last few minutes for dramatic home win in Palmeiras - Santos match, that started with Santos coach Cuca getting red card and ended with 15 minute extra time.

[tyKiwanuka]

10/15 games played and we have jayce, Inagame and cryptofrka with a fantastic performance so far:



I guess we have some new Real Sociedad and Palmeiras fans now All three hit on all their picked draws so far and that is always a good recipe to sit at the top of the leaderboard. And normally you guys should not only top our leaderboard, but also the overall one - before the 3 games that just finished that was already the case and you all hit 2/3 on these.
@entebah is in the hunt with 7 correct picks, but the bad news is, that he has the same remaining picks as Inagame Our 3 leaders don't have the same remaining picks and jayce is probably in for some super boring 0-0's tomorrow

Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys

I guess his friend didn't get those to him in time to put them up on there.

Yes, he is on vacation. I sent him my picks, but not sure, if he placed the bet, so I decided to sit out this week in our thread. But my picks were bad anyway....only 5 correct I think.

[cryptofrka]

Wow, didn't even know I was good until I saw it here. I usually just do the Multimasters and don't really follow the results.

I either wrote it wrong or you copied it wrong, I have Liverpool to win against West Ham. Meaning that Inagame and me either win together or die together

EDIT: I went to check, I wrote it wrong in the thread - sorry about that. I've got Liverpool on Sportsbet.

[arallmuus]

Our 3 leaders

Its very rare to see 3 bitcointalk players on top of the leaderboard in sportsbet.io. Most of the time there will be only one lone survivor left from bitcointalk . Well best of luck to the 3 remaining guys that still stand on top and for those that still has decent chance to win

Well atleast the leaderboard now looks better because it is pretty disgusting when there are 3 people that scored 8 correct picks then another weirdo player on sportsbets scored 9 correct picks

This is one of the nice perk of joining this thread. Instead of checking your results in the site, Tyki will compile everything here for us

[ralle14]

It's not looking good for our leaders, Leicester going 1-1 and Atalanta already down 0-1.

Jayce's draw on Atalanta seems likely to hit if Lazio doesn't score anymore, we'll see how it goes on the second half.

Now things more worst Atlanta vs Lazio  1 - 3 and Leicester vs Leeds 1 - 3 mean both home teams going down very few minutes remaining.

[notblox1]

I don't want to crush your dreams guys but there is someone with 10 correct selections now in MultiMaster leaderboard on Sportsbet website, not counting West Ham vs Liverpool match, and it's not anyone from fellow bitcointalkers.

Bad run for me this time with only 4 corrects picks so far 

[Avirunes]

^^ Guess it is getting tougher and tougher with each round. Wouldn't be surprised if we have a 15/15 winner very soon. This goes to show how stiff is competition now and sportsbet gaining popularity  .

I am also on the same page with you @notblox1 with only 4 picks , so I am already waiting for the next one.

Yup, he must have gotten both the Leeds and Lazio results right. Fair play to the guy, these are 2 big upsets. If he had Liverpool as well it's game over for the rest of us because I assume we all have Barcelona.

If he did not have Liverpool, it will all come down to the Tottenham game. I hope somebody from BTT will still be in the hunt then.

[tyKiwanuka]

Here are the results for week 4:



How in the world did that guy get Leeds AND Lazio right ? Getting 11+ in this MM correct is huge, because as you can see by our average and all the red, the favourites were struggling quite a lot.
Last weeks hero arallmuus had a nightmare this week as did the often so solid Avirunes, but doesn't matter if you hit 4 or 10 in the end, if there is one guy with 11+. What remains is another round of disappointment on a Sunday evening and the hope for better luck next weekend.

I still would be super interested to know the total number of participants per week (Steve ? )

And the 2021 stats:



Things are shaping up a bit and after buwaytress' good start this week, I thought he might end the drought and win again after gazillions of tries, but Hoffenheim beating Bayern was too much to ask for - although you did great with getting Newcastle and Leeds right And if this happens....

Wouldn't be surprised if we have a 15/15 winner very soon.

....I think it will be him; certainly not me^^ But I don't think we will see a 15/15 very soon tbh, not in 2021 is my call, at least in a 3-way MM.

Was wondering the same thing seeing 9 change to 11 after those matches concluded.
Who picks leeds and lazio on the same betslip against heavy home favorites?

While watching the final two games I was thinking to myself, the winner for this multimasters competition will get 13 correct selections with Barcelona & Tottenham remaining. And as we all know Brighton won (so scrape that notion).
But which seemed like almost an ace since we do only see the leaders winning with only needing either 11 or 12 right in the past.

[cryptofrka]

Yup, shame for us from BTT, I could almost smell it. But the next chance is coming on Friday again
Getting 12 games right in such a round is worthy of the prize.

Yup, this would be a great info to have. At least a rough estimate, so we can gauge whether it's 100, 500 or 2000+.

[buwaytress]

Sorry it didn't work out for our heroes of 10 picks, whoever it was who got 11/12 is a damn bastard for getting Leeds and Lazio right!

Things are shaping up a bit and after buwaytress' good start this week, I thought he might end the drought and win again after gazillions of tries, but Hoffenheim beating Bayern was too much to ask for - although you did great with getting Newcastle and Leeds right And if this happens....

Thanks for your confidence in me haha. I honestly though if Hoffenheim hit, I'm definitely taking something home as well, but yeah, even being the "only one" picking those 2 away upsets didn't do me any good in the end. I did only pick a selection of upsets, but it was really the Arsenal draw and Hoffenheim bad pick that killed me, I should have switched Lazio for Hoffenheim though, I mean, I actually bet on them a lot last season but they've really fallen away this one.

15/15 will happen. But the odds, as you can see from the winning picks are massive! millions to 1 =)

I don't think picking such heavy outsiders is good tactic for MM. That Bayern vs. Hoff game with odd like that you are almost sure that you are among very few that picked the upset. So if you get it right great but if you miss 99% of other players have one more correct than you. And problem with those guys picking huge upsets is that they always pick more than one So let's say you pick 3 big upsets and get one correct which is generous you still end up behind almost the whole pack.

MM is won or lost on those games where favorite is around 1.8 odds. In other words games where good chunk of the players will go for favorite but the odds of not loosing for underdog are actually more likely to hit.

[buwaytress]

@leea @Trofo You're right, actually, both of you. I had an MM where the 3 biggest upsets all hit, but I still didn't win it because I actually didn't make enough draws. I think it's ok to go for all favourites, and then pick 3/4 of the ones you think the slight underdog might win or force a draw, but deep down, I'm also thinking I might go for a 15/15 anyway and win it big. Feels like a better chance than the lotteries I also play, the gambler in me always convinces myself it'll be my day soon...
