Sportsbet.io Betting discussion thread rev

I only got one of the specials because I thought Man United could be a threat to Arsenal after they drew against Fulham last home match but at least mine still won.

Took that one along with all the others but put about 5x of a stake amount on the three teams to win special.
Unfortunately Chelsea ruined it with getting beat by Nottingham Forest. The other two teams had dominant wins.

I also wasn't expecting Chelsea to ruin the multi and I thought Tottenham would be the team to disappoint because you never know if they'll show up or settle for a draw.

I skipped today's MOTD since I wasn't interested in the MLS match between Inter Miami and LA Galaxy. And this might be the final MOTD, as I already see the page listed under the past promotions.

That Inter Miami match didn't interest me either since when I bet on their first official match of the MLS regular season with Messi in the lineup, they had a nil-to-nil draw.
They do have a new set of games available for the next round to Match of the Day on the promotions page:

https://sportsbet.io/promotions/match-of-the-day
This set are interesting because it includes FIBA matches and the FINAL.

FIBA games today are included in the Sportsbet.io Special for the quarter-final matches today:

https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/matches/today

Which are the MOTD so they happen to compliment each other.

It's good to hear that the promotion got updated.

The FIBA MOTD for the USA side seems like a value play and I have to give a heads-up for others who plan on taking the bet because you might experience a bet rejection.

The fix for the bet rejection is to check the specific market page because there are two yes markets and this is probably why the other is getting rejected (same thing for the Italy market).

Now that you mention about bet rejection occurring, I experienced the exact same thing over the weekend.
I was using my free bet when I received my vip rewards for reaching the next vip rank on the clubhouse rewards tab.
After my bet rejection occurred while I was confirming a bet builder slip, the free bet completely disappeared.
Checked to see if the bet was in the my bets tab but nothing was there.
The strangest thing as this never happened to me before with a rejection of a bet such as you had mentioned about it.

Wasn't a big deal and didn't go to live support to see what happened because it was only for 0.0799mbtc so less than $1 if even that.

That's a weird interaction with the free bet as I thought nothing should happen because it didn't go through.

Anyway, the USA special won and barely hit in the fourth quarter because of how one-sided the match was. 

I'll continue to back the favorites for the MOTD since it works and Team Canada already scored at least 100 points in their previous matches. Hopefully, Team Slovenia will push the pace of the game as they're averaging 80-90 per game.

@ralle14 Nice bet but I am going against the flow.
I am rooting for Slovenia to try and upset Canada. @3.70 is a sweet offer so I will take the money line. It's a risky bet and not a recommended one but we have seen a lot of upsets happen in this event. 1 more hour remaining before we could witness the game.

Germany versus Latvia was a hot game. I didn't really expect Latvia to play that close against the strong Germans but it was amazing that they could just keep the game as close as possible.
Now, it will be Germany versus the USA in the semis just like I expected. We will know if they can somehow make an upset too against the heavy favorite.

It was a tight game and I thought Slovenia had a much closer chance of getting the upset after the first half ended in a tie but Canada started pulling away with the lead while Slovenia struggled to go on a run.

Another two wins in a row   and taking France @2.00 for the EURO qualifier special, I don't like how low the odds are on the side of France but it's still the best bet to extend the streak since they'll be playing at home.

The Mbappe ATGS should hit since he has four goals and scored in three out of four matches already, but the over 1.5 might kill the special, considering two of their four wins ended in 1-0.

Was watching the match against Slovenia and it was a very close one, as these quarter-finals all have been so far. But Luka Doncic got two technical fouls so was not allowed to play anymore.
These FIBA rules aren't what NBA players are use too as they mouth off to referee's about bad calls all the time and get fouls. But not in these games, since they can eject a player so easliy with getting alot less in the foul department than compared to what they are use too.

Atleast these FIBA matches are during the early morning so can catch the later matches now going into the semi-finals.

Good luck with the MOTD bet as I didn't know those were the EURO qualifiers until you mentioned it.

NFL starts tonight with the Chiefs taking on the Lions, so if you have any predictions or a sly betbuilder, by all means, don't hesitate to put them up on the Sportsbet.io NFL discussion & predictions thread:

Too bad he ended up only assisting for the first goal. I thought this one would hit though considering that he has one of the current highest goals per match on the squad. I kinda wanna root for him to score on every games as he is only 14 goals away from Giroud for the all time high goal scorer and only 25 years old this year so lot of chances for him to break that record even with Giroud still playing for France

Anyway Spain will play tomorrow so we probably will have similar MOTD for Spain I guess (?)

The ATGS killed the special and after the assist in the first half, I thought it was a good sign for him to get his goal in the second half, then it never happened.  

According to the schedule, the FIBA semi-final will be the MOTD, and looking at the specials page, we'll have the USA vs. Germany match.

The USA special is the obvious play, and I think we're lucky to get them at 2.40. Even with the slightly lower team total, I still expect Team USA to drop at least 97 as long as they make their shots count and hit most of their free throws since there's a noticeable drop in FG attempts throughout the playoffs.

You know what, I've been losing like most of my bets recently on Sportsbet and are left with only small portion so Im going all in on this special which is abit over 50 bucks on this single special

If I win then Im getting double of my leftover which is a decent amount and if this lose then I guess Im being unlucky and jinxed this one up with my bad luck so brace yourself with me

@arallmuus & @ralle14
USA team are kind of struggling with the Germany team from the very start and just surprised they were only up by 1 point before the first half ended.
They will surely score the over on points for the special to hit but not too sure if they beat this squad.
Their starters were having trouble with them and only when the second team for the USA did they start to get back into check with their scoring drives.
Were Germany the only team to be unbeaten of all the teams participating in the entire tournament?
That to me is pretty shocking to hear as I didn't watch each and every game during the World Cup of Basketball.
Maybe the people in the Philippines did since it is being held in their country. So it is on every television and billboard of the live scores.

A very eventful weekend coming up with UFC, NFL and EPL to look forward too and then we can talk about the FIBA Finals after this match is done to find out who Serbia will face on Sunday:

Too bad I guess my bad luck kinda jinxed it anyway. Been having this bad luck since a week or so, I lose almost every bet that I put in there including specials iirc so I guess I affected in a way 

There was another specials on germany to win wasnt it, what was the odds for that? It should be atleast over 5 on this one. I never would have expected Germany to win against USA though but it was pretty close on the 4th quarter but too bad Germany dominated the 3rd quarter

I had a feeling Team USA wouldn't somehow make it to the finals because their squad is full of young players. They kept it interesting in the fourth quarter, but still not enough to force an OT.

There was another specials on germany to win wasnt it, what was the odds for that? It should be atleast over 5 on this one.

I can't remember the specific odds but it must've been close to 10x due to the team total of the special.

On to the next MOTD (Ukraine vs. England) we got decent odds on England @2.50 and I hope this one breaks my losing streak since they'll be playing at a neutral field. Also, Kane is currently the fourth top-scoring player in the EURO qualification with five goals, only one goal behind the top three players.

Hey rdbase and everyone active here, I missed out on some great specials it seems recently, did anyone take the shocker bets of Germany plus Serbia??

Anyway, Newcastle and Champions League are coming up soon, Sportsbet must be so happy to be sponsoring Newcastle in this way. Are you guys joining the pool, I kinda miss seeing all your names there

Welcome back slaman29, we all missed you here with your picks for your bets.
No unfortunately nobody could of predicted that both extremely low likelihood of success against these powerhouse teams with their rosters mostly consisting of players coming from the NBA would of beat them both on the same day.
But it happened and congratulations for those who had the foresight in taking them at those odds. Think it was 10.50x on the special from what I remember for Germany with the over on points with the MOTD Special.

Here are today's specials as they are for the Euro qualifier coming up in a about 15 minutes from now and the FIBA finals:


I took the England bet, over 1.5 goals with Kane scoring @2.50x so I am good for today.

As for the Champions league: The news that Newcastle United are in there must be where I thought EPL teams were playing this weekend. Yeah, should of mentioned the U.S Open finals for both mens and womens are today instead for a very exciting weekend in sports then.
@buwaytress referred me to the thread so to join in the pool if I wished too, and if my bets come in green then I will certainly put in my fee payment in for the pool

It must have been, too bad I didnt take it and now that I think about it perhaps it we took both then that would have been a great leverage bet. iirc Germany only need to score like 84.5 or so

On to the next MOTD (Ukraine vs. England) we got decent odds on England @2.50 and I hope this one breaks my losing streak since they'll be playing at a neutral field. Also, Kane is currently the fourth top-scoring player in the EURO qualification with five goals, only one goal behind the top three players.

You sure do have quite the trust on Kane to score there, I mean he is good in Munich right now but his role is kinda different in England as he is abit more of the passive striker right there that has the role of feeding those passes to the other players so I wouldnt really count on him scoring I guess


@rdbase : that special on Serbia is kinda tempting but I need to redeposit if I wanna take bets right now because my balance is currently drained in sportsbet lol

[slaman29]

Thanks rdbase, for sure even I missed coming here a lot but I'll make sure I try and remember to share winning specials. The thing is most of them happen while I'm alredy off to bed so usually I don't even see thm unless they come up early. I've shared stuff in ANN fr sure but those are nrmal not special bets

See you in UCL, it's smaller fee to prize combo now, even better

[buwaytress]

@buwaytress referred me to the thread so to join in the pool if I wished too, and if my bets come in green then I will certainly put in my fee payment in for the pool

Saw your reply and welcome to the pool! I'll post an update there a little later in the evening or tomorrow morning. I hope it's something everyone will like. Meanwhile, I've been absent from specials too, for some reason slipped my mind to check them out.

This one is right up my alley though, even though I know Portugal are goal shy...

[ralle14]

It'll be a miracle if both specials would somehow hit today. Anyway, i'm still taking the favorite here and it looks possible when Portugal dropped six goals on their first meeting.



I also took the FIBA special on Serbia yesterday and they only extended my losing streak to five. I need Ronaldo to clutch it up later today and show signs of life to my bankroll. 

[rdbase]

From the looks of the special for the ClubhouseTV it seems they have switched it up a bit and offered it to the fans to the sport of Rugby for today.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/matches/future

It is the world cup of Rugby with France vs Uruguay:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/rugby-union/international/world-cup/france-v-uruguay-64fd9bd7e9b9680001db880f

Also a quick mention that the Champions League season begins on September 19th so you can still join in to the pool being organized by @buwaytress with a rather huge prize pool.
So there is still time to join up as myself and @ralle14 had just did yesterday to this annual forum pool.
