What's the limit on the last special? I saw the 2.00 special (over 0.5 goal in each EPL match) posted in the chat but I missed the opportunity as I lost track of time and came back late.  

Another special is up, "Tottenham, Lazio, Rangers & Everton All To Win - 2 Mbtc Max Bet" @50. Odds are very juicy since you can't get better than @35 on that ticket otherwise. Still I am not thrilled about team selection. Rangers are slam dunk, Spurs and Everton have a chance but it will be though but I don't believe Lazio can win away to Napoli even on their best day.

I'm also thinking of the same thing, Spurs and Everton seem like a toss up, I could see Lazio sneaking away with a win but a draw is more likely to happen.

Guys , there is a nice game from my country live right now.

Dinamo - Craiova

Why is this a nice game ? Well...Dinamo is one of the most loved team from Romania in history and they're having one of the worst season ever and they didn't win since last 13 games in Liga 1. I do have a strong feeling that this game will end with Dinamo taking 3 points. Also Craiova 1948 has just promoted into Liga 1 after several years of fighting with the law for the name and trophies.

Amazing specials on Black Friday, hope to see many many more throughout the day! Meanwhile, I almost busted on Roulette... as  even doubled down when it hit zero, going for martingale on RED... and this is how I usually end up wasting my money when I already did 5mbtc wager.

That was a nasty streak. Was that your last bullet though? Even if you start from 0.1 mbtc bet, that would have cost you 102 mbtc one the last bet. Well consider yourself luckt this time because this could have been a nightmare for you if it hits another black and I doubt that you will continue the run tomorrow if you had happened to lose this one

Even after waiting for a 3/4 streak and martingaling, you can die very fast without limits.

Ikr which is why I never use any martingale so far. I'd rather lose small amount for the day and stay at 5mbtc wager


Anyway, its still 33 players left for today

[Trofo]

Just bragging a bit since I got the drop. Whohoo!!! That makes quite a few of us from the forum.

I had a feeling I will get a drop today while playing football with my buddies. To make things worse we were playing on underground turf where there is no cell reception so I could not check my account. Anyway the game finished and I am trying to check Sportsbet page without success. In the end I was lucky enough that money was on account when I got to the bar above ground. Already spent a small chunk of it since I had to buy beers for the team after getting a present like this

[icopress]

That is so awesome man well done! I think Trofo also likes to share what happens with his freebets. I won 2 quite recently I believe both 1 mbtc but instead of making it easy on myself I also tried to make it big like all you famous players (and icopress looks like you are joining that crew now!!!).

I came close on one and not the other one, but I guess this makes me think you guys are all right, why bet on 2 or 3x when you can almost win much more and for sure if it his 19x like you, you'll feel so proud

If my memory serves me, then I was able to realize my free bet only two or three times, since I always hunt for large odds. But the maximum coefficient that I was able to successfully predict was 1000x (except for the last unsuccessful match, since in that case I would have had a two-thousandfold coefficient).

By the way, I have another multi-bet on the way with a hundredfold coefficient, and only one game with Chelsea separates me (I really hope that Chelsea will beat the Red Devils, although I also hedged this bet).  

[buwaytress]

TROFO my MAN so happy you got the drop too! I was busy doing work last night but I anyway got it 2 nights ago, very happy to see a merry brother also share in the love. It's been 3 drop events already and I was up a lot all day long for the previous two drops, but happy to finally snag myself one, and happy you got it too!

Another special is up, "Tottenham, Lazio, Rangers & Everton All To Win - 2 Mbtc Max Bet" @50. Odds are very juicy since you can't get better than @35 on that ticket otherwise. Still I am not thrilled about team selection. Rangers are slam dunk, Spurs and Everton have a chance but it will be though but I don't believe Lazio can win away to Napoli even on their best day.

Still I am taking it since I would kick myself if it ends up wining and I missed it

On that note, Rangers lost their first game without Gerrard at home 1-3. They've got an excellent manager to replace him, arguably even better credentials than Gerrard but it does make you wonder just what kind of spirit a manager instills in his team to take them unbeaten in a season.

Anyway, yeah I took this no-brainer too just because -- even though it's obvious he picked all of them as he used to play for them all! Guess we should be lucky he didn't actually pick Newcastle haha.

What a career though!

@boltz I love these kind of stories and can really appreciate the history behind them. Which team did you actually support though? Ended a scoreless draw so they're both losers I guess in last night's game!

@arallmuus: It was my last bullet but no, I generally start my martingale on 0.05 mbtc and only after 3- or 4-streaks, so my max bet is 25.6 mbtc on a 14-loss streak, which is still a shitload of money to lose for nothing trying to do 5 mbtc wager heh. I usually tell myself to stop at 0 but since it's la partage, I actually went on.

Busting is 100% why people drop out of Live Casino and I keep telling myself not to chase but sometimes the temptation is too much, especially when you think -- "hey, let me win a small portion of last night's sports losses on roulette. 16 streak is so unlikely, right?"

Same here, after several bitcoin drop promotions finally secured a prize for myself, and the experience was nerve-wracking. I confirmed the prize just within the last few minutes before the system took it away from my account and thankfully the support clutched it out for me as I gave them the confirmation in live chat. Can't believe I manage to win one tbh as I wasn't expecting much just like the previous drops, good thing I didn't gave up on checking back every now and then.

So that is five of us on the forum who managed to receive the bitcoin drops for the Black Friday event.
If my memory serves me correct, buwaytress, Slissy(not certain who this is on here but said he had an account) , Trofo and now ralle14 claimed the drops who are on the forums.
Icopress mentioned I believe on the Ann thread he received a notifications from sportsbet that it was dropped but he didn't claim it within the hour it was sitting in his account.

[slaman29]

Awesome of all of you to win it! All the drops are so late for me I tried one night but couldn't do more, I hope next time they have some session for us who are in +8-+12 GMT timezones

I get a lot of freebets from clubtalk but the big big ones I don't remember hitting big a lot, but that's my fault for choosing small games previously.

You know what? I got a 1mbtc freebet from prediction prize last week and I went big. And lost immediately from last night because Cagliari drew. Actually I wondered which Friday game to bet on but it wouldn't have mattered because ALL the big teams I looked at last night ALL drew. Friday sucked for whoever chose that day to start any multibetting.

See here this is my fate

[buwaytress]

^^^Five of us on the forum that have revealed themselves, anyway

I think several more from past drops. Welcome to the drop-receiving club ralle14! Now I know Sportsbet has tens of thousands of players (just go to Live Casino to see the numbers of players online at any one time if you want to get an idea) so to have even 5 of us in one drop round (and in the past several more) has to mean that they do pay attention to our usernames in Chat.

I know I'm not as active in Clubtalk as before but I'm very sure they recognise some of us there, Slissy especially, who can NOT recognise him haha.

Well done boys (or girls). That was so awesome.

== Anyone who took the Black Friday special on 1 corner for Southampton: that's already won in 2 minutes haha. Easiest 0.5 mbtc for Saturday.

TOTALLY OFF TOPIC but since we're talking about the drops. I actually withdrew all 20 mbtc and sold it. It turned out to be about 1050 euros nett =D

So I spent exactly 999 euros of the prize money on a new laptop.

I have been putting it off for YEARS and my current laptop is having stuck keys and battery that lasts 15 mins, and since I spend 90% of my day working on it I think it's about time I did something about it... and yesterday Black Friday deals I saw something. NOT my dream laptop, and I've never bought anything other than low-end ASUS in 15 years, 3 laptops. But it comes with full warranties and service which I never got with my machines before. Probably overpriced but let me see what I've been missing out buying low-end machines

This one is 1kg, batteries supposedly last 14 hours, 1 hour to charge, and a massive upgrade over anything else I ever used, so let's see if it lives up to the hype of supposedly thin/light laptops.

I've never spent much on a laptop, certainly I never spent more than 200 euros (I can get good low-range ASUS machines back home for good prices as it's Asian and minus taxes) and they're all small and I never do anything much except type, read and docs/spreadsheets, etc... they totally suck at watching stuff or doing anything else like Photoshop but I thought, well, I deserve a treat =p Black Friday's deal of 300 euros off the actual price put this exactly in my budget.

Thanks Sportsbet

[slaman29]

Reminder, do not put freebets on sports, or make it part of a big multibet. Spurs bet was postponed so I got voided and lost some freebets I got from last week. Not huge but several small ones that I kept betting on multiple betslips, so nothing lost anyway but I should not have taken the risk lol.

Anyway, we are now almost in December so here's the latest update from all of us still playing! Weekend is good as usual as we lost 1 more

Day 84 Casino Live Participants as of 29 November: 32 (-1 in 3 days)
Days left: 33

[buwaytress]

Thanks for the timely update as usual. 32 more days and just 2 more peeps left to knock off before we hit our (more or less) consensus-agreed target of 30!

Betting-wise hasn't been very good but I see that the Gazza special was voided, so I do get back some money I thought I'd lost already when Everton fell to Brentford (we have Burnley bad weather to thank for that I guess). Woohoo! Put my final November Clubhouse freebet on a 2-prong acca tonight with a super boost on poor Derby... I think they're relegated but they've been great value bets since getting all those points docked. Gotta feel for Rooney man.

[rdbase]

Tottenham match was postponed and eventually cancelled due to being wahlooped by excessive amount of snow. Hot spurs are playing Brenford this week so don't know when they will reschedule this one.
But yes, those freebet where there is a voided match will lose you them so mindful of this.
Had this happen a few times in the past.

Also the Super 7 score prediction for 1 million USDT did not have every match correctly done by one person.
From the leaderboard there looks to be 5 with the same amount of points.
So the prize of $25,000usdt as the consolidation prize would be split between those who tied for 1st place.
I think I got 5 correct over/under and 3 results. But no correct score on any of those matches. EPL was not kind as there were two nil to nil ones in there.

[slaman29]

Can't imagine winning $25k from a free prediction contest. And all of that just in 1 round over a few days. Guess they weren't forum people or we'd have heard from them already hehe.

Anyway, I thought I counted 30 people when I did manually before getting into a spreadsheet but nope, still 32 of us left. I guess it's too much now to ask for 1 every weekend.

Would be awesome to get 25 though, so 40 mbtc each

Where did you see the Spreadsheet? A few days ago I just looked at the Leaderboard and it's no longer available. At that time I only saw 1 person who was in the first position, it turned out that there were many people who got the second grand prize. Congratulation on your winning the fewer winners the more prizes you get, hopefully not as much as you think.

I think he's talking about Casino Live, the campaign he updates every now and then. This refers to back when I guess he was counting the leaderboard manually and then later learnt could just copy and paste into Google spreadsheets haha.

The $25k Super 7 prize ended up given to one winner too I think with 41 points, and many second-placed users at 40 points. So some lucky guy walked away with a cool 0.5 BTC!

EPL and Serie A matches along with a La Liga match was something special to break that hump for the week with some sports to keep us all busy today.
Watched the Southampton match and it didn't disappoint with a 2-2 draw inwhich I predicted on the english premier league pool here on the forum.
There were alot of goals for all matches but also mostly draws for the ones I had wagered on.
The only ones I think that hadn't were Liverpool and Manchester city, where those two favorites won outright.

There are two EPL matches for Thursday evening:
Tottenham who had an extended time off due to their match over the weekend getting cancelled due to the weather conditions.
Manchester United who have a interim coach at the helm of the club.
So we will have to see if the two home sides will have success in their outings as opposed from today's results where the away sides won theirs who hadn't tied.

Tune into the Clubhouse radio tomorrow if you can because they give out freebets for just typing out the word in the chat when the prediction before the match happens. It is offered to the first 20 people who do this simple task.

See you there since I've had some free time because of the holidays so to tune in more frequently.

I guess the time has come for Spurs to win a match? They are actually my main football pick today since I am hoping for a response after loosing to Mura in conference league. Mura yearly budget is equal to 6 weeks of wages just for Kane  That one had to hurt

I am thinking there is a lot of people waiting for those free bets in the chat? I was there a bit more often during BTC drop time and there was quite a lot of beggars as usually happens when somebody gets generous.

[ralle14]

What do you guys about this multi special? Ajax, Celtic, and AZ Alkmaar to win boosted from 1.89 to 2.10 all three home teams favored by a good amount.

The only risky play I see is Celtic as their opponent is just behind them at the table but they've been struggling to snag points on the road though.

Ajax is a no go for me against weak teams this season. They are 3 times better squad than anybody else in Eredivisie and they act like that. They beat PSV 4 or 5 to zero and then they play 0:0 against some bottom of the league team. I take them exclusively when the odds on them are good or in Champions League. Served me well so far. In general I never play odds lower then 1.5, I feel like there is no value in them.

I make an exception here and there, like Liverpool @1.45 yesterday or a tennis match here and there.
