[Harkorede]

Locked my answers and looking to be top of my group  Good luck

@Trofo and @icopress thanks!

I got the notifications as well, I'm trying to focus on surviving the series of bloodbath with my NBA bets recently for tonight, I'll definitely put in my answers in tomorrow, there still so many uncertainties with FIFA, especially the Fantasy, some players that have been listed since each teams made their listed on 14th are still missing so I'm expecting full update by tomorrow, and I'll be sure with who and/or what I'm going with.

Oops, sorry about that. Of course, it is against Serbia.
Both of us checked the form but somehow it slipped through.

I have corrected the mistake now.

doesn't matter much, answer is the same, not scoring

will put my final answers tomorrow, expecting an interesting competition in my group, and goal is to reach knockout stage, where everything is possible

[Lolojones]

I entered the predictions. Good luck everyone

[notblox1]

I answered all questions, I placed bet and I sent everything as instructed, so let's hope I didn't mess something up
I was making quick predictions without any strategy or thinking for this first round, so If I win something it would be real miracle.
Good luck everyone, and thanks again Sportsbet for supporting us!

Your response has been recorded.
Thanks, years without doing a quiz with so much pressure, representing my board (LE) and my country is not easy.  

Good luck to all of us playing I just hope that the ID I provided is good because I haven't used Sportsbet before.

There are still a few rounds left, so the information shown below may still be useful to you, click on "my bet," then click on "ID" and that's it. Although in case of doubt below an image.


Thanks in the good wishes, the same to you.

[Igebotz]

Goodluck to you all,  i will put up my bet slip and answers tomorrow, I'm still bleeding from NCAA games last night    

Edit: submitted.

[Strongkored]

Got the notification through the notification bot and immediately did what had to be done, answered all the questions on the google form but wasn't sure about the result  , good luck to all the participants

Sorry if I asked something already asked in the past but I should have thought about it. I wanted to play today then remembered I put my entire balance on a big outright just a few days ago. And so I had to make a deposit (luckily this was something I could do as I had campaign earnings I didn't touch).

If I have for example 2 bets on World Cup that qualify for the minimum amount AND also minimum odds and they are not used yet for this prediction contest can I use them as the bed requirement or must I make new bets like between the Round 1 and Round 2 quiz?

Sorry if I'm not clear, but thanks for the quiz, it was pretty cool, no need a lot of knowledge actually just a bit of luck

Anyway this is my new qualify bet

Anyway this is my new qualify bet

It looks like your bet doesn't qualify, this issue was discussed in the thread:

I am ready to start even if the required number of participants is not collected, the main thing is that the prizes remain 
A bet with odds >1.5 means any bet (multibet) where at least one outcome includes an event from the World Cup?
I should note that many bets will be won, that is, in fact, this is a very generous competition, I don’t understand why not all slots are filled yet.

A bet with odds 1.5 or over is meant just for that qualifying game. Meaning you have to play a sigle or a multi bet which contains any market from that round of world cup games which has the odds of at least 1.5.

So you can't play Brazil to not lose against Serbia and raise the odds with other games. You will have to play both to score or something that has big enough odds and then you can leave it as single or add something more. Whatever you prefer.

Hope I explained it satisfactory.

The full rules in case you want to read:

The ticket must include one game from the World Cup from that round with minimum odds of 1.5. Cashout is not permitted - we can check it with Sportsbet."

I did not invent anything complicated and just bet on Ecuador 
I think Qatar is highly overrated and Ecuador is not a clear favorite just because Qatar is the hosts, plus very rich (there are risks of corruption). But I hope that we will see pure football and Ecuador will win.

[darxiaomi]

Well good luck to all the people.

I submit my predictions, one thing to say, can we in the next round only submit the BET ID and not the image?.

Another question like in the test, its available the sheet to see our predictions?.

Its going to be very fun this tournament.

[buwaytress]

@slaman29: Sorry man, KTChampion is right. You can make multibets, but one leg at least has to be 1.5 odds minimum. Betbuilder's probably the only way to mix up a lot of "low odds" outcomes to achieve 15/10 minimum. I used an outright bet, but I'll probably be placing lots of bets throughout I'll have so many bets to pick from

Anyway, thanks for the quiz, Cro2! I had I think 3 tags on this thread/related so I definitely saw it haha.

Good to see it's fairly non-technical, don't think anyone will have a problem participating, at the same time I liked the style of choosing a star that may or may not play, that's literally a coin toss to me, whether he gets to feature, and for how long!

Anyway, my early answers locked in. Put in a qualifying bet on the Lions of Teranga!

P.S. I had an message pop up saying I can only submit once, and asked me if I'm sure to submit, so... if I submitted twice, that was a mistake (probably same answer though I doubt I put in a different form?).

The French team is nothing without Kante and Pogba; the team has been struggling without these two players for some time now, and they are unlikely to advance beyond the group stage. You should keep an eye on Denmark because I believe they will make it at least to the semi-finals.

Hey, they can always rely on some old guy like Giroud or Benzema, like they have been for a long time.

Denmark, eh? I don't think they're bad at all, just not good enough to break down one of the S Americans.

You are the minimum point mark anyways, making sure you are always behind my username   . This is the only way I don't get bored.

I'll do my best to make it hard for you!

Benzema is a bad luck for the national team, he is a world class player, but Giroud brings more luck to the team, he creates space and improves everyone around him. I hope Deschamp does not repeat his error from Euro 2020. Mbappe, Giroud, and Griezmann play well together.

I like the way Denmark plays and I'm still counting on them to progress further than England, Portugal. They play really nice football.

The competition is pure luck, I was expecting players' background questions but this is still cool. You can always try.

You only have one entry in the table so all good there.

Another question like in the test, its available the sheet to see our predictions?.

You have to give us screenshot since we have no way to check the ticket over bet ID. We use BET id just in cases when we suspect cheating or for some users we are keeping closer eye on. We have to ask Sportsbet to do that for us and we don't want to do that too often.

Sheet will be available when first game starts and no new submissions will be accepted. Otherwise you could just copy somebody answers. Not so important now but will become much more important in MD 3 for instance.

@slaman29
Your bet does not qualify per rules. We will not allow any answer changes but we will allow that you and anybody else that maybe got ticket wrong sends us a proper qualifying ticket and bet ID over PM. I will go over the tickets now and send PM to users that got it wrong. This service is only available in MD 1, read the rules guys.

Thanks for sending me a private message sir, I also doubted at first that I was following the rules exactly, if you didn't PM me then I would still be wrong LOL. I will fix it sir, and will only make 1 bet with a 0.5mbtc value.

[casperBGD]

seeing that some bets do not qualify, just to double check
we need to put stake bigger or equal to 0,5mBTC on a parlay that includes World Cup (or have to be only World Cup pairs?)

looking to avoid that PM from organizers that my bet do not qualify

1 game on your ticket has to be world cup game from that match day and that one game has to have odds over 1.5.
You can leave it as single or add 10 more pairs that can be anything you want at all.

buwaytress also threaded the line a bit, with sending his outright bet as qualification bet but since his choice was such that it was basically a donation to Sportsbet I have let it slide  Not gonna name his choice, but let's just point out he got the odds close to 300.

Joking aside this rule is here so that all participants have to use Sportsbet page and I know for a fact that buwaytress has at least a couple of qualifying tickets at any moment.

[Harkorede]

It's been quite a stressful day, way more than I anticipated to be honest, but I've just submitted my predictions too, more than half of them are fairly tricky and some I just had to guess and there is no way to have any idea whatsoever beforehand.

I like that it's actually something entirely different from what we've been accustomed too, and it make it more interesting to see how it will all go, but thanks to team Sportsbet.io for the never ceasing support to make every tournament worthwhile, and props to Trofo and Cryptofrka too for trying to handle such a lasting competition without being chanced to partake must be strenuous  , but that should surely increase my chances  

Here is my betslip,


Good luck to everyone!

buwaytress also threaded the line a bit,
...but let's just point out he got the odds close to 300.

I'm sure he'll beat such odds if not more at some point, as he never stops, whenever I see City or Bayern lose to an odd of 20 or more, he is the first person that comes to mind that would have made something off it.

[LTU_btc]

So, I submitted my answers, hope that everything is fine. Don't know what to expect, but questions weren't easy and required some time to answer. But fact that World Cup is in the middle of season and teams didn't had much preparation, like friendly games makes predicting even more difficult. After all, it's luck, like predicting exact score.

Benzema is a bad luck for the national team, he is a world class player, but Giroud brings more luck to the team, he creates space and improves everyone around him. I hope Deschamp does not repeat his error from Euro 2020. Mbappe, Giroud, and Griezmann play well together.

I like the way Denmark plays and I'm still counting on them to progress further than England, Portugal. They play really nice football.

Denmark is my black horses of tournament. Not sure that they will go further than England, I hope yes. Football that they're playing is great to watch and they got good group. Maybe Nations League isn't best indicator, but we saw that they're capable to win against France, so, 1st place in the group isn't mission impossible for them.
EDIT it seems that Benzema got injured and will have to miss World Cup 

[ralle14]

I want to ask something related to the odds requirement, what if the initial odds of my bet were under 1.50 but after the price boost it shoots up to 1.52 does that still count or not?

I also got the tag notification earlier, appreciate it. I took my sweet time answering the questions and I'm hoping it somewhat pays off. Good luck to all of us.

[Renato297]

Hi Trofo I have sent my answers, please check if everything is ok from me
