⚽⭐⚽ Rainbet’s BTT World Cup 2026 – Beat the Bookie (100 mBTC reward pool) ⚽⭐⚽

The first round was extremely brutal for me, I couldn't get a single win even when I thought I was playing it the safest, there was always an anomaly like Spain drawing blank against Cape Verde to ruin the day for me, but I also made my rebuy for the round, and now I'm just looking for the right opportunity to ~~squander it~~ strike, and make a run at the mafia...

I just checked the next matches and I'm already running out of ideas on what to place next.
No need to force myself to place a bet but somehow I can't resist!
In any case I will play it safe and attack the competition when the group stage is over..........but only if I still have a bank left Cheesy

Yeah tell me about it, I lost like 250 from my budget tonight, since my safest bet went down the drain. One goal from Korea would do me wonders. or at least it could have stayed 0:0.

I am playing this like yoyo, jumping from bottom to the top every two day. Feel another rebuy coming.

When the Czech Republic - South Africa ended 1-1, I was 100% sure that the Mexico - Korea game would be a boring draw. It was boring though, so at least I was 50% correct Grin

I'm lucky I lost only 25$ of my balance there, mostly because I was too tired to place more bets.

It's a common theme for me already - something's protecting me in this competition.

Still on top but slaman29's overs passed - so if USA wins he'll be joining us there.

I beg everyone excuse for my stupidity, I just wanted to clarify how points are awarded Cheesy

The table now shows that I have 46.60 points.
I see it like this: I had $100 and I rebuyed twice for $100 = $100 + $200 = $300.
Current balance 246.60
It seems to me that I should have 246.6 - 300 = -53.4

Trofo, sorry, I don't believe the story about simple unluck Wink

You burned your balance in bets with odds of 8 and 11!
It seems like you're deliberately trying not to win prizes (as the organizer), I expect the same from cryptofrka! Grin

The 46.60 you see in the spreadsheet is correct. Everyone started with 100. You have lost 53.4 in total and your total score is now 46.60
In other words, your total score equals your current balance minus your rebuys.

I'm just making sure that Hhampuz doesn't beat you all.

This is correct. First 100$ is 'free', therefore after losing it you reach 0. This means that your rebuys are -200, and not -300 like you calculated.

Current balance (available + in play) is what you can use and total score your actual result for the competition.

And if not then I will be -100 with nothing to show, but it was fun anyway, I know the tiny odds are so entirely dumb but I needed to make 2x and USA was only 1.58 or something like that I can't remember without looking again (can't see anything right now).

World Cup stats is being deceiving, most goals scored in group stage I heard the commentator saying so excitedly but DUH it has extra teams and you have 6-0 and 7-1 scores as a result of those extra teams.

If you remove games with the bottom extras from new format, the goals from teams left are LOWEST ever.

So actually the Overs is super risky.

Common guys dont be lazy, someone needs to take down Mafia from the top, dont allow them this manipulation! Angry

Today I had a gut feeling and I placed a risky asian handicap bet against Switzerland, this was most money invested in this competition.
We have very interesting matches in next few days, and I am expecting to see another huge surprise result.

I can't view Google now, what was the bet? It should have won and then everything bad happened in injury time I guess!!

You dont know how much relief im without betting right now in this competition, i know maybe im giving up so early or giving spae to other to beat me, but what can i say despite this last days being more "normal" this world cup is behaving in a very strange way.

For example Mexico South Korea yesterday scoring only one goal in their game for sure destroy a lot of bets, despite Mexico winning.

There it goes, I just messed up everything in Beat the Bookie competition with a single match! Angry

I expected tight match with Switzerland and Bosnia, but reserve players made a big difference and destroyed Bosnia in last few minutes of the match.
This is my biggest lost so far in this competition, and it is not going to be easy to get back on track.

hosemary, cryptofrka Thanks for the explanation! The method is a little different from what I'm used to when calculating profit.
Now I can easily answer this question myself:

Cro2 definitely need to calculate how far book's in the black atm.

If I understand correctly, this will be the sum of the first column minus the number of lines in the column multiplied by 100 (starting money). I counted by hand (without cents), so the answer is approximate: 1054 - 2500 = -1446 Damn it's brutal! Although it can be taken into account that we are acting aggressively. Also I'm $10 above average in results Cool

I am still suffering from serious betting PTSD after some of the brutal beats we took during the first matchday, I'm sticking to my strategy of keeping both the total bet count and the stakes low and then saying a quick prayer and hoping for the best.
Every morning I look at the schedule and see all these tasty looking favorites but then I remember what happened with Switzerland, Spain and Portugal and then I feel like I should just take the day off, betting PTSD is real! I hope today brings some normalcy or if we are in for another round of madness.

Why do you think I did not continue Grin

I mean it is normal to lose and rebuy I think everybody expected it except those few lucky ones but I already lost balances on 3 different places EXCLUDING this competition so my entire budget was gone even before Round 2 began in group stage Roll Eyes

The only thing I am very happy to see is my fellow teammates doing well so I guess I will remain active to watch and see. And who knows if I got freebets or remaining tickets won I can have a balance for FINAL rebuy Grin

I'm surprised to hear about your problems accessing Rainbet. For me, on the contrary (you know my situation Wink

), they are the most accessible.

I'm surprised myself. It's the only bookie I've ever experienced this problem with in all my years of crypto casinos. And at most, all I need to do is adjust my... access, so to speak. This one logs me out more often than Trump posts on X. Years ago I might have taken the trouble to try from a different device (old laptop) but these days I can't be bothered much.

I'm going to try and claw back some of my losses. But taking it easy unlike before. I'm letting a few games run first. Of course, these games will all hit the picks I want, and not when I dip back in. But we who play this game know the moves. And we fall in step all the same. Good luck with your rebuy, can we at least aim for 0? Wink
