Sportsbet.io UEFA Nations League Prediction Pool Discussion Thread

[Trofo]

Well today i put my predictions, lets see how bad or good can be. I think like buwaytress, internationals are really difficult to know.

For worst its first round after a lot of time without playing togheter in the national team.

Tomorrow i can see how its Italy in "finalissima" against my country Argentina.

I usually like to pick 1st round for high number of goals scored. The least riskiest game for everyone, and no one needs to win it to have a chance to progress, so also like to pick underdogs but the games on offer aren't really worth that kind of pick in terms of odds.

Good luck with Italy. I just answered my own question about Chiellini, seems like he will grace American football next season.

I am sceptical about both to score in National League but I am playing that market on Italy - Argentina match. I see this match as sort of super cup in national football and those games are usually quite open.

Odds for that are actually @2.1 which is quite high and I see alot of value in it.

This should be last game for Chielini in national jersey.

[hahay]

Looks like the first match will start today if I'm not mistaken so please count me in, @Trofo I've sent you a PM for the tx id. Thank you and good luck!

I just thought I should mention that in case anyone looks at the escrow address and sees 0.99 mbtc and wonders what happened,,, I actually do not have a way to send the extra because of minimum so I am open for suggestions on how to fix my error. Can I put a 0.1 mbtc bet on Pool behalf on a x10 multi? If win I send it to pool

I think that you can make some crazy attempts with 1000-2000 odds like the one Steve shared on the Sportsbet topic. It is really good to see there is enough number of people in the pool right now. By the way, don't refrain from sharing them if you make betslips regarding to the UEFA Nations League.

Wales - Poland... I doubt Wales are going to go all-out to win this game, they have to focus on the World Cup Play-off match next sunday so, they can't risk their key players getting injured today, right? Then again, both NT today are gonna face their "easiest" rival in Group A4, so maybe Poland will take this game more seriously and try to get the 3pts? 🤔

my pick of the day is Scotland - Ukraine - betbuilder:

too bad total bookings isn't available for the betbuilder, otherwise, easy over 3.5 bookings,, i have a feeling it's gonna be a very dramatic games with a lot of fouls and yellow cards

[YOSHIE]

Good luck!
my pick of the day is Scotland vs. Ukraine.

You have good instincts for today, Poland vs. Wales
and Scotland vs. Ukraine will meet today, I have placed a bet for the club, hopefully I can enjoy what I believe in.

In the UEFA Nations League competition, as scheduled for tomorrow USA vs. Morocco, Bulgaria vs. Republic of North Macedonia and many others, for me the team doesn't make me dizzy to bet, the most difficult for me is the team (Spain vs Portugal), it's a bit dizzy for me, both teams are both prestigious and good, what a good move to consider for Spain vs. Portugal tomorrow, I dare to score them, points I dare not, I hope luck is on my side today and tomorrow.

I had totally forgotten that a Wales still have a world cup qualifier against whichever team win between Scotland and Ukraine, my thoughts were that this was the final and that winner from Scotland vs Ukraine heads to the world cup group stage directly. The lineups for both teams have been released, and Wales indeed have not left a couple of their starters from the last WC Qualifiers against Austria on the bench, even the odds for Poland to win have drastically reduced from what it was earlier today.

Our pool has started and I am happy to inform you that we have 20 players this time around. I will work out the prizes in couple of days when I am sure there will not be anyone new joining. Sponsorship money should be arriving on escrow address soon as well.

So far, I am quite sure we will ignore highest yellow cap for the prizes and I am leaning towards rewarding first 5 places rather than 4. If you guys have any preferences now is the time to speak up. We should have 60 mBTC in the pool for the rewards.

Edit: reward structure draft
1. 28 mBTC
2. 15 mBTC
3. 10 mBTC
4. 5 mBTC
5. 1 mBTC (basically money back, will probably be closer to 2 mBTC in the end since I reserved 1 mBTC for fees and any leftovers will go in this reward)

[casperBGD]

~snip

Edit: reward structure draft

agree with structure, cannot be better, and thanks once again to Sportsbet for sponsorship, they basically gave double the size of the pool pot
it is good to see first result and exact score

must say that I thought the match is later, to start now, and just checked the score
yeah, Wales is still there for a World Cup qualification, they are waiting for opponent from tonight match

[swogerino]

The first game already finished and Poland won as expected,many people got the correct score of 2-1 and many others got the close one with the few remaining getting 0 points.The good thing about this pool is as I said that we have at least 1-2 games every day until near the end of June so it can keep us busy.

The reward structure is great and I don't think it needs anything to change.The first prize is really big compared to the number of participants as it will be 0.028 Bitcoin and up to the fourth place are great prizes,the only low one is the 5th one but this was not in schedule in the first place.

Damn, I missed first game prediction. I was sure that Nations League will begin on Thursday and today we only have Scotland - Ukraine qualifier and Finalissima.
Poland won 2:1 and it looked that Wales is focused more about upcoming World Cup Qualifier game.
Tomorrow Czech Republic - Switzerland and Spain - Portugal for the dessert.

I was pretty much surprised too see that you missed the first game, because usually for me I usually just put at least random result for the first round as soon as I join any pool, but hopefully that wouldn't cost you in the end.

Not surprised to see Poland win, but I went for the 2-0 victory so, it's a bit not so good not to have gotten a exact score to kickoff the campaign.

Ukraine won in a great a fashion to set up a final game vs Wales, the team were somewhat dominant and highly motivated, I'd say they were able to channel courage from the adversity the country is currently going, I'd like to see them going all the way fwiw, though.. I was highly moved by pictures of Zinchenko reducing to tears in the press conference before the game.

Well, we are champions from "la Finalissima" first edition.

In relation with this thread i can say, i cant belive how bad Italy plays a tremendous disaster, if they play like thaht against german surely can lose for 4 goals.
I the second half Argentina swept the floor with them, they not lose for more goals because Argentina had mercy of them.

I star bad the pool i put a draw 1-1 and was so close only 5 minute left to got it.

[tomahawk9]

as soon as i saw the lineups, i changed my 2-1 Wales prediction to a comfortable 2-0 Poland, but it was far from a comfortable win, eh? close game against Wales B team, says a lot about the home team, tbh

and yeah, the scots let me down and my betbuilder lost, i needed one more corner but they couldn't get it, Ukraine were the better side and deserved the win. Wales - Ukraine should be a good game, but maybe not as good as the Spain - Portugal tomorrow 🧐

[leea-1334]

Thank you Trofo and buwa I will make a pick this weekend on a careful multibet and share it here for the pool. I would really like to say I know these games but I would have picked Wales as my first pick if I did it and already lost 

Good thing I made the opposite with 2-1 in the pool! I agree with tomahawk9 though how does that Wales team even score one goal and not allow more?

Nations League go!

Same here, had 1:1 for the pool and then wanted to change it to 2:1 when i heard about line ups but the game started and I did not make it. I thought I was lucky when Wales scored but it was not meant to be in the end.

I watched just second half of Argentina game and Italy was nowhere to be seen. It was all Argentina and Donnaruma saving what was possu to save.

[buwaytress]

I've put in my picks too, but then these international matches are just always often boring but bet wise too, they're often not gamblers friendly, at least not for me.

I'll be going more with my guts in this pool, because you really just can't tell, but as for my bets it's going to be a lot of Under 2.5/3.5 and maybe a few ML, but BTTS would likely be a no way for me.

Gotta agree, these kinds of games are heaven for bookies. People don't know what they're doing, coaches don't know what they'll be doing, players treat it as the glorified friendly the media makes it out to be.

Scary that we both thought the British teams would have a really good chance. I don't rate Poland at all, not even with Lewie there (he can't pull the team up on his own all the time), and I honestly thought Scotland would do everything they could to play their first WC since when I started watching WC. I'm actually really disappointed by the result, but good on Ukraine.

It's quite amazing to note how Poland where able to win the game coming from a goal down. At a point, I felt Wales will hold them to a draw as they managed to score an early goal, but at the end, it looked like they didn't have winning the game in mind, because they lost a lot of chances and possession as well.
 Probably they prepared for the game, but then, Poland showed their dominance once again. 👍👍 To them.

[CLS63]

I thought that Wales wouldn't score any goal last night and I chose to make my prediction as a 2-0 victory for Poland. But Wales were even winning the match nearly. For the Spain-Portugal match today, I think that Portugal can win it even though the odds are telling the opposite now. I hope that we can have a match that would be delightful to watch.

I think that the game between Spain and Portugal is a beautiful game to watch no matter which result is the final one.The odds are just an assumption of the bookies in such events where both teams are equally strong in terms of quality and performance in their team.In such events I do not suggest to look at the odds or what the bookies say but to choose whatever personal feelings we have for this game.The odd may be 2 for Spain and 4 for Portugal but if I believe Portugal will win I place a bet on them not caring much what the bookies say.This is true only in events when two strong teams play against each other.

This is the beauty of the night for sure and I am really interested to see the line ups (especially for Spain) and the way these teams will perform. It is end of the season and I feel like some team will take this competition seriously while some others will treat it as a prelude to holidays and just have fun.

@fortebettor
I believe you are the only paid participant that did not already enter out pool. Just follow the link in the PM I sent you. Hurry up or at least make predictions on Superbru.
