Missed out on the first 6-6 as something was changed in my account settings but Steve's very kindly fixed that for me so I'm back in the mix now. 4-3's been kind to me, my stats show 5 $10 bets, but no direct hits;)

I also saw that I missed some huge Championship specials today though! 130x for BTTS in every game, I've a feeling this will hit so am kicking myself for missing that. Anyone catch it?

Man, if this bet wins, I'll gladly give you 10% of my winnings!

Since I would like to publish such winning odds, if only for bragging rights. After all, Steve constantly teases us with screenshots with crazy odds ... and I would not want to be left behind either. Although, in truth, I hesitate to bet more than 0.2 mBTC on extremely unlikely outcomes.

If the games between Barnsley v Luton Town and Reading v Bristol City both go well, I'm confident that the other games will as well. Is the BTT specials for the championship a new promotion? Is it every match day?

No need, I'd like you just to show it off in the SB main thread;) Winnings are for bragging but man, 130x, how did I miss that? I even normally take the 30/1 specials that are similar.

Think it's cause bookies see that 4 of the teams tonight couldn't score on the last game. Sad to see Blases in that mix. I recall the football they played 2 seasons ago. Games about to start but I'm watching UCL.

Nah just for tonight, not even a Matchday effort, so just the 7 games tonight. Pays to stay in Club talk and check it out regularly especially in UK afternoon time to evening. Always a new one every couple of hours or so, or a super boost which is pretty crazy and I have to say most of my awesome winnings on SB come from the boosts and specials.

It's not at all about nobility ... just luck of two is better than luck of one.  Therefore, I will be happy to share my winnings if this happens, besides, I looked at the statistics, and the results of the first and second rounds are quite encouraging, so let's hope for the best. By the way, no matter how it was, we still have an additional safety bet (a goal in the first half in each of today's 7 games), the coefficient is certainly not so huge, but still ...

I get you of course, friend. I bet superstitiously myself, even knowing that there is nothing that can be influenced to aid my luck. Tell you what, then, in honour of this, the next 100+ odd special I hit, 10% goes to you if I win. Everybody wins =D

Shame the bets yesterday didn't turn out, I'm going to watch as religiously as possible on Club Talk. Already missed another 15/1 I'd have taken on Europe action. If only we didn't have this life thing getting in the way, huh Trofo?

I saw this offer but decided not to take it, since the chances are not very different if you bet on these teams in the usual format. But I did accept two Championship specials, one of which is still available, so hurry up / Both Teams To Score In Each Of Today's 5 x English Championship Matches. 

[rdbase]

Yes, they usually have these specials available early on in the day (Depending on where you are ) and give on average 4-5 hours leeway to take them.
You can check the link below everyday hours before the matches begin so to see if they are available:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/matches/today

As of now I see two: One as mentioned by Icopress on the BTTS in the championship league today @30x and one for Flamengo (got to google translate this one to see what the requirements are for it to win ).

[buwaytress]

Anyone taking the 15/1 special of two nights ago on home teams in UCL and Europa would have been laughing to the bank. Made some really cool gains myself with different selections, but 3 of the 4 legs also from that special. Hope you guys caught that!

The 30/1 BTTS on Championship busted though, with 3/10 teams failing to score...

PSG and Leipzig featuring heavily today in the specials (BTTS at 7/1), but because I've got Stuttgart to win away at Leipzig, I'm avoiding both -- odds have been notching down every hour for Red Bull though, so you might want to take the PSG/Leipzig/Real Betis 32/10 special active right now.

Odds too small for me though =p I might want to start counting wins/losses from the next 10/1  ++ odd special I take!

[rdbase]

These specials are good to take as I took the 7/1 on PSG & Leipzig but stuttgart didn't score.
Looks like Real Betis was the only one which didn't win their match as it ended in a draw.
In the EPL I believe there were specials but with Liverpool's match starting as the early match of the day I must of missed them.
LFC is doing good against burnley and pressing them.

Just a reminder that Serie A begins today in about 5 hours from now with a brand new season of goals!

[buwaytress]

I said I'd try and record some of the big specials I took, and we had an "all games to score in 1st half" at 14/1. We actually had 8/9 games hit that but it was dead pretty early with the Palace scoreless draw. Still on the hunt for big ones! No less than 10x odds for me;)

22 Aug: EPL All 10 matches to score in 1st half" - 24/1

[rdbase]

Now just to let those who were asking about the free 4-3 and Free 6-6 promotions were since the last they were seen was during the euros.
They are back for week 2 shown and links below:

Already took them, as always I have a good feeling about 4-3 promo while 6-6 always ends very badly for me. Should have learn to get some of those correct scores right by now with the amount of Superbru predictions I am making every year
I won 4-3 couple of times, got that 10$ consolation maybe 10 times and I have never had more then 1 correct in 6-6.

I've won the free 4-3 promo twice and the consolation prize about 5- 6 times, so my statistics aren't great for a pro, and my best free 6-6 prediction since I started playing is 4 right predictions. @rdbase Do you still have a zero(0) score for both 4-3 and 6-6?  
I'll beat your stats this season @Trofo

@igehhh No broke that streak with the 4-3 yesterday. Had 3/4 correct just the corners were something like 17 (9 Arsenal and 8 Chelsea). That was alot of corners in the last 20 minutes cause from the stream I was watching there were 3 and 5 before I turned it off.
Would of made for a 21 in blackjack with the score 2-0 for Tuchel's side except for the extra card.

Seems the soccer blackjack had hit twice over the weekend.
So good for you guys who took them both with the PSG one up for the maximum wagered amount at 4.99mbtc.
Here is the thread to follow up and know when the next one will be available to place a bet on:

Caught a nice one today!

24 Aug: EFL Cup EPL teams (Everton, Leeds, Watford, Norwich, Newcastle, Villa) to win - 40/1

Yeah, some kind of record. Friday win, Saturday win, Sunday bust. Funny thing is it's usually harder for me to bet on weekends but I made an effort for the Saturday one especially and am glad I did.

IIRC correctly, max bet when it started was 125 mbtc. Then it got hiked down to 5mbtc after the first blackjack hit, and then at some point it became 2mbtc. The PSG one was a real fluke suddenly raised to 4.99! Pays to use the Max Bet button sometimes;)

I always use the max bet button to check the max bet on the BJ special bet lol but at that time I hesitated to go with 4.99 mbtc. Sportsbet risk department probably deemed that match as a match with high probability to hit bust so they raised the max bet intentionally to 4.99 on that specific match but It turned out to be BJ instead 

Its all good though even with 2 mbtc max bet, winners will get 42 mbtc which is over 2k.

Indeed! That definitely ran through my mind when putting the max bet, and the guys over there probably did their numbers, and just got unlucky with the 2 direct hits, before finally hitting the bust. Even one hit at 2mbtc and taking 2 busts at 7mbtc would have been super profitable, as you say, with BTC priced so well now.

Yesterday's special is one leg away from hitting 40x too, very tight games for Everton and Watford, so let's hope Newcastle doesn't let me down;)

I'd avoid getting bust if possible lol but so far it has been very profitable. 5 BJ hit so far and thats +84 units overall. I got only 2 BJ with 4 busts before hitting my first BJ and Its still a pretty decent profit. I almost stopped playing those BJ bet until I hit my first one lol, kinda frustating because I kept missing all those BJ but yeah now I probably wont even skip any BJ bet lol

Staffs are probably sweating as well, it was close for the 3rd in a row

I didnt know that we had such thing. I rarely check on special bets unless I want to bet on the BJ bet

I do not want to jinx it, but I really hope for the victory of Newcastle, since I also managed to jump on this train. And to be honest, the outcome of yesterday's matches was a pleasant surprise for me, given the unpredictability of this league. In addition, most likely I will insure my bet by betting on Burnley to win or on a draw, I don’t know if this is reasonable considering that this will reduce the possible winnings, but at least I will stay with my mBTCs.

Yeah me too, I honestly wasn't expecting it. I've done a small hedge too, only to return my bet plus a tiny bit of winnings though, as I would prefer to get max winnings. Don't you just love these hedging opportunities? I only got Burnley double chance at 1.68 though, should have looked harder but I expected odds to keep dropping for them haha. GL to us;)

Now you just hope for Newcastle to score first and then hedge some more with good odds. That is my favorite way of hedging but you need to have a bit luck on your side to get opportunity. I missed the special unfortunately so no hedging for me. I will be looking at CL matches and hoping for goals, have BTS on Dinamo and Salzburg. If somebody wants to check the ticket I posted it a couple of posts ago so go check

Trofo/Buwaytress, Guys, the game in regulation time ended in a draw ... but I have a question if Newcastle wins the bet will be considered won? I mean, the special offer does not indicate "only the main time", as it was previously indicated in a similar special offer a few days ago ... Thanks for your reply in advance
