Shuffle.com ⚽ 🏈 Sports Betting Contest Discussion | Round 2 live

[Wind_FURY]

You and Gennady are very astonishing sports-bettors. Can you give us mere plebs some lessons? Hahaha. In merely three days, the both of you have won a combined 66 amount of sports-bets. If the bets were for $100.00 each, that would be more than $3,000.00, already accounting for the odds that are paying less for what you staked.

I have reached the minimum required of 10 for the contest with several open bets remaining, but I have more than ten losers just to reach it.

You are giving me too much credit

I am only working with a 12 points bank (12x5 USDT Level Stakes) which gives me at least 12 bets per day.
I try to be very selective with my selections and got very lucky but on friday I nearly lost my tiny 12 points bank where only 4 from my 14 selections won.

But I regret joining the competition it's too time consuming and it doesn't help that I am recording my bets like I always do 

I believe with the amount of the prizes offered, Little Mouse made a fair decision in making the minimum amount to bet at $3.00. I believe any amount more might give the participants a higher probability of losing when chasing the 10-winning bet minimum to be granted an entry in the contest.

You would therefore have 20x3 Level Stakes, giving you more opportunities and lesser risk of ruin.

Sure twenty Level stakes would be better or I could just have deposited more.
But wanted to make it more of a personal challenge for what I can achieve with 60 USDT and selective bets and somehow I started with 5 USDT stakes not sure why
I personally don't like betting just for the sake of it but made the mistake yesterday and placed three NBA bets... every odds on fav lost 
Basketball is the only sport where I am constantly losing in this contest.... even a 1.15 fav is battling hard for the win!
Current bankroll is 55,10 USDT just because of NBA.

I made that observation too. I thought the NBA would give the less volatile opportunities for getting winning-bets for the contest, and that the NFL would give the higher amount of wrong decisions. It's actually in the opposite direction. The NHL has also been kind to me in picking favorites.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Furthermore, I have already made more than ten winning-bets which hopefully qualifies me for one of the prizes. Plus if there's a Round 3, I have a new strategy for the NBA.

Really wonder if anyone can beat the NBA markets long term. I guess the handicap markets are beatable but too much work involved.
I am sure that I won't win any prize in this contest there will be or already are people who will place 100+ bets per day until deadline.
Only way to counter it would be to do the same but I have no clue about markets which I never heard of.
So will drop out and I already failed my personal challenge after adjusting my stakes and placing useless NBA bets
Anyway best of luck for your bets and see you next time.

You have already submitted a lot of winning bets. I doubt anyone will be able to beat you with 55 bets unless someone is waiting for posting in the final minutes.

[Woodie]

Will need to prepare for round 3 as this one is getting too competitive  

@ralle14 @mirakal will you be defending your last tittles and hope you lads are aware of round 2 is live as we haven't seen you around with the round coming to a close in less than ~30hours....

Hope you aren't planning to surprise us before deadline day by dropping the bomb with a 70X betslips... possibilities are endless

With the one match one betslip rule, can't see it possible to place these 100 betslips in one day and shuffle doesn't spoil us for choice to blow our bankrolls this way

I won't defend my spot this round because i've already failed to break even in the previous round, and with how things are becoming more competitive in the current round, i'm most likely going to lose more money even if I could win one of the main prizes.  

I doubt anyone will be able to beat you with 55 bets unless someone is waiting for posting in the final minutes.

After what I've experienced in the previous round, someone will surely one-up him unless he has more winners to unload on the final day.

I am certain that there will be many last minute submissions.
Maybe for tactical reasons and most likely I won't win any prize but that's ok

Nothing surprises me when it comes to betting markets.
I mean I wasn't even aware that there is a market for the korean women's volleyball league (nothing against it a since it's from my country) and that is indeed a very obscure market like gaelic football or futsal

I'll try to show you more than 60% winning strategy for basketball in Round 3, plus for the minimum required amount to bet, I will experiment with the strategy before the official round starts.

I am sure that I won't win any prize in this contest there will be or already are people who will place 100+ bets per day until deadline.

If you're too sure you wouldn't win, where would that place me? Hahaha.

Smaller bets, with a bigger deposit. Although it will be very hard to compete against Gennady who probably has thousands of dollars in his account.

mirakal is IN. The game is ON lol. I didn't expect this contest to be such a huge competitive.

Just a reminder: Make sure the bets are settled and posted here by 10th January 2024 at 23:59:59 UTC.

Mirakal has completed 115 crazy Bet IDs like his sports betting is easy for him, maybe at the last minute he can add more Bet IDs.

Don't worry I'm sure you'll get your spot based on the number of Bet IDs, in fact I myself have only completed 9 bets and now waiting for the Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid match to complete 10 bets to qualify.
If I lose I don't feel bad as the contest is now expanding further.

[Woodie]

The boys came to play and brought out the big guns, and am now regretting having called out Mirakal to play in a lower league thinking 40winners would be enough to clinch a spot on the podium but seems the standard is now 50+ Wins

If we go for another round maybe I will be ready, but whoever gets to win a prize, well deserved especially in a high competitive round as this one salute🎉🏎️🏁🏆

Will be taking tips on how to win...anyone

haha true trying to outmuscle a casino whale is I think not possible heard that Gennady is a professional casino player

That sounds very interesting I won't be much around in the next few weeks but please tag me when your strategy is ready I am always looking for interesting betting angles.

You were right I was really expecting more late submissions and just checked what happened in the Madrid derby thought for a moment that flashscore redirected me to the spanish ice hockey league 

[Distinctin]

I took a peak at the games and rounds thread and I would say I'm impressed on how you guys were able to put a massive 100+ bets. Damn, especially for Woodie who came out on top at the last minute. I think I'm a bit interested in joining the next but I'm not sure I like this lots of bets competition, you know. Maybe @LM if I may suggest, how about a biggest winning odds of a parlay bet?

[Woodie]

Just a suggestion, if contest will be running for more rounds in the future ...I think we should share images in view mode here on the forum as it saves time seeing what's there and authentication... probably sharing image link's looks cleaner but I prefer not leaving the forum to some domain full of ad's  For those that share images and can't be viewed am sure someone with the privilege we quote it on your behalf and everyone will view the image...

I'm very impressed in all of you who are winning more than 20 sports bets within one week! How much are your wins + losses within that time frame? Positive?

I'm not really much of a sports bettor. I have to compute how much I should lose while trying to reach the ten bet minimum, and how high I might place in the contest. Trying to win 50 bets to get first place will result in a loss, and a risk that the prize will not make up for that loss.

It's more of a strategy to win the contest by accumulating winning bets than an efficient strategy to actually win in sports-betting. The odds will be low and near the required 1.50, but it might give a higher probability of winning than merely betting the favorite.

First off don't know about others but Without the prize money  and all, definitely in the positive thanks to my strategy!!

Problem is many of us aim for the 1.5 odds and after two losses back to back then you are thrown off your game.. sometimes bet bigger to recoup your losses and you will survive longer but don't take my word for it...

Or just post the link.

Posting betslip link hides a lot of stuff and for the sake of transparency it would be better image is there for all to see unlike clicking on all links manually, so much time wasting with this approach...

Stratey lol, this was more like motivation for me....

And let's just say I don't like getting beat twice when I fancy myself winning and had to push myself to beat the "competition"...

Otherwise should take it easy for the next rounds as this is mentally draining and I need the rest ...but don't take my word for it

Including your bets in NBA basketball? Want to give us plebs some guidance?

You're right! I didn't consider the difficulty of recouping losses from 1.50 odds. But it's also a little harder to find winning bets/games that are 2.00 or better. Some luck plus a bigger amount of betting capital are definitely needed to be a winner in the sports-bets AND the contest.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

By the way, congratulations.
