@morvillz7z I also feel an own goal and a red card parlay would be nice, but couldn't find anything of the sort haha. GL! I can feel 1-0 in at least one for sure! England, looking at you.

I sure hope you took it, we got an own goal even though I don't actually think it should have been categorized as that and now red card for the Swiss team. Must have been some odds.

I took both games to finish in overtime promo. One down one to go.

Yeah I was cursing myself, I need to find more books or spend more time but couldn't rush in time before the game. Games are tight and I definitely wanted to try own goal + red card... and it hit on the first game urgh! I could find a red card deal on betbuilder but no own goal, but I hedged on another side a 20/1 Swiss comeback so I guess I'm good there. I don't normally hedge myself so much but with specials, it's hard to ignore and much easier to manoeuvre myself!

Edit: so we're now in overtime, so my 13/1 special is still in play (yay?).

[buwaytress]

So yesterday's specials all busted -- I avoided the Ferran Torres 4/1 but lost from the Spain/Italy 5/1 and both matches ET 13/1.

@Trofo I saw your post in SB thread haha and I've got a bet on it too (alerted by your original notification). The over 1.5 goals in each game is still alive, and I'm actually pretty confident we'll get at least 2 in Denmark/Czech game, but it's the England one that's always tricky. Very goal shy, so am hoping Southgate relents and gives his team the creativity they need from Mr Peaky Blinders.

I totally am not learning my lesson today though: OT in both games at 15/1;) Who else took it?

Did not take any new specials today, maybe better Just waiting for that over 1.5 goals one to hit. Kane already put one behind Ukrainian keeper so my hopes for this one went up even more. Now just one more counter attack over Sterling or Sancho and that is it.

I don't know much about F1 but Max Verstappen to win @2.00 (actual odds is 1.34 on the outright market) seems like a good value bet since he won the last two grand prix and will be starting at the first position.

Been posting about the F1 races for this season over here for a bit now.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5323706.msg57375788#msg57375788
If you bet on him for this race before the qualifying round yesterday you would of gotten him closer to @2.00x but he went down significantly since then, as you mentioned, he received pole position for the start of today's race.

Williams was the focus of attention yesterday as they finished in the top 5 yesterday and seeing both Ferrari drivers not qualifying was a shocker!
Can't wait to see what this race in Austria has in store in about 20 minutes.

@Trofo Congratulations on the over as it most certainly did hit with both matches had alot of goals, no matter which one you placed a bet on!
England squad popping in 4 and keeping a clean sheet throughout the tournament is quite impressive and they finally got that monkey off their back for this euros with not just skimming through to the next round.
Denmark on the other hand could of done better with only putting in 2 and being satisfied with it going into the second half with a Czech squad pressing and almost putting it level many times over.
Two players on the Czech side had to get their heads bandaged up, like usual.
It was a thrilling match to watch regardless but good on the danes to punch their ticket through to the semifinals.

As per usual off by one card for my euro selections

@rdbase ouch on Italy cards, weird about them isn't it?

Was just saying in the main thread I picked the Bottas one (15/1), which I know is probably not happening but that kind of value is impossible to ignore for me. He wasn't too far off in qualification time. Verstappen's hot in form and I normally also like to follow form but don't really know enough about F1 to put that kind of money down -- good luck to you, though! All picks still in top 4 position with 18 laps done.

I've been waiting for COPA specials though! Are we not getting them because of location?

I am not following F1 so I skipped all those specials. I was thinking on taking Botas one since odds looked good but checked my fiat bookie and found much better odds @25. So I took it there instead. I am avoiding that fiat bookie since we lose roughly 15 percent on the taxes but when odds are that good it is still value.

I am also a bit disappointed about lack of Copa promotions. I had a feeling sportsbet is really big in Brazil since they are sponsors of team plus Steve is always showing us all those amazing multi tickets from Brazil. Then you have Copa hosted in Brazil and Brazilians playing great - feels like missed opportunity unless those promos are geographicaly targeted.

Not complaining though, EURO promos have been amazing for me so far

Even worse for me,,, I am usually not able to go online much during the weekends these days. Now I have to travel very far early Saturday and get back late Sunday. Mobile data is a bit expensive so some apps and try to do some betting but more than that cannot really stay online long. Which means I am going to miss the big games next weekend unless I put prelive far ahead:)

EURO has been SO good to us all:) But I only made one special that hit (4.5 goals) but it was a big one for me!

Live x6: ⚽ Over 2.5 Goals In Both Semi Final Matches (Normal Time Only)

• https://sportsbet.io/sharebetslip/c3b48bb4-009b-4034-8007-a81f35df30b5

I would take it if the minimum threshold was 1.5, but with such success if you think that more than 2.5 goals will be scored in both matches, I would recommend using BetBuilder (combining with predictable outcomes regarding corners + total over 2.5, you can get much higher odds).

Live x6: ⚽ Over 2.5 Goals In Both Semi Final Matches (Normal Time Only)

Well this one is pretty nasty special, Im not really sure but I think it would be hard to get atleast 3 goals in both matches. I'd probably take this one if extra time is included into it

EURO has been SO good to us all:) But I only made one special that hit (4.5 goals) but it was a big one for me!

Yeah I think most of us won a fairly decent amount from all specials combined, on top of this most of the specials are guaranteed with moneyback so yeah Euro special from sportsbet was quite generous. Didnt you take the 120 goals special? iirc this was the special with the highest odds out of all special, even with only 1 mbtc bet that would be 20 fold.

As I said I sadly only made that one special that hit. Others returned money back so I won in total after all,,, which makes me happy of course. Sportsbet really made it nice for us, and that keeps giving us back, so I will never find anything to complain about it.

20x seemed too nice yes, but I looked at stats and saw the goal average was too high. I did not expect soooo many goals:)

Same thinking as me. I did mull over the Over 2.5 goals but I think we were lucky to have over 1.5 in the QFs, they should be even tighter this time around, maybe even a 0-0 if Italy and Spain decide to dance instead of fight haha. I still don't mind seeing loads of goals though as I'm already very entertained. Also took Italy England to win as it's over 10% better odds than anywhere around AND I'd have put them in my multi anyway.

I *also* took Immobile + Messi to score (the latter should be a sure thing) as it's boosted to 55/10;)

Still waiting for another special to land...

[Trofo]

Not looking good for all those specials you guys mentioned today. Good thing I was super busy at work and did not have time to take any of them. I was online a couple of times but the specials that were live at that moment were not that interesting for me. I like them when I feel it is slam dunk or when we have really big odds.

[rdbase]

Someone has some kind of insider tip for England to win today.

Hi Guys,

Here it is!! I think this is the First Million Buck $$ Bet I've seen taken here.

Thoughts?
We need to give it a name if it's going to go down in Sportsbet.io history..

Like the "big Kahuna bet"

Taking our first motto in 2016 of Bet Big Win Big to a whole new level!!

regards,

Steve.

That is a cool million dollar bet. Usual you see those heavy hitters in Vegas putting it down on a fighter in the UFC, but on a Euros match?
I guess it just happened.

I avoided everything for EURO because I expected this leg to be as tight as it turned out,,, and the same for Copa specials (not that I saw any when I was online). I think the final will be even worse, UNLESS Denmark somehow make it to meet Italy, then we can all bet on many goals and even Extra time drama.

[buwaytress]

$1 million bet. Damn. Big Kahunas and cojones indeed. The only way I'd ever bet a million dollars is if I had several hundred million... so I guess I'll just keep dreaming.

Meanwhile, Djoker 30/1 Special today missed by 1 game on the first set *sobs*.

Didn't take the earlier Kane special. Probably going to be a 10% superboost which I'll do a betbuilder for tonight's game. 3 goals, Kane score, 3 cards, over 10 corners, easy right?

In gambling you take risk you die, you go the soft way you also die, so why not take the hard way that could probably get you to the top if hit? But  betting on England against Denmark? I would rather donate the money to charities, I see nothing good coming out of this game I see a full time draw game here. Although I'm hoping Denmark make it to the final and save the world from noise pollution and hike transfer market from the English media.

England to win Euro 2020 @8.00      .VS         Italy To Win Euro 2020 @16.00

There is only one match left, but two pre-EURO specials, so it's simply a matter of how much more do we win now.

Looking back, these specials have been great for me personally (i'm sure for everyone else too), some really comfy wins: x2, x3, x5, x6, x7, x20...i wish i had max bet the money-back ones though, and maybe look for hedges more often, Gosen's fourth goal against Portugal was around the 60th minute, and even though we got the O4.5 in another match, this was a perfect opportunity to get some extra coin.

Ouch!...

Whoever this guy is, he reminds me of 'Mattress Mack', maybe you've heard of him before, he had a $3.5mil bet on Tampa Bay earlier this year (won), then a $1mil NCAA bet on Houston Cougars (lost), and now has the Astros to win the World Series with over $3mil wagered, people with money...

[rdbase]

Guy had the right team but didn't anticipate it going into extra time.
I wouldn't sweat it though, if it is who I think it was, then they make that in no time running their media channel and that is just a drop in the bucket to them.

Did anyone else notice there is the ClubTalk Radio scrolling at the bottom of the page now?

It is a welcome addition so you can just click & listen to it right when you open the site.

Sorry for myself that none of those left are alive for me,,, I took the Portugal one so early so of course my bet died a long time ago (what a terrible way it turned out to be.

Does anyone here have both these specials still active? Cannot believe I did not take Italy at 16x! Bet many Azurri bettors are praying now:)
