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

[Trofo]

Did you guys hear that Norway vs England match could be postponed or changed time because of very high temperature prediction for the time of the match?
I was expecting to see many goals scored but maybe we see something different because of this, and I think both teams like more to play in colder climate.
Lets see in Haaland can break England defense and send them home early yet again

Yeah, I saw some news about this. They said the extreme weather predicted could cause the match to be postponed for player safety.
Since this is a big one everyone's waiting for too, hope the weather does not end up affecting the game, either before or during the match.

Would be perfect to make them play early in the morning local time  If it stays on schedule or gets delayed, no way I am staying awake.

Went to holiday tonight, which means getting up at 4AM, driving 3 hours to the ferry, and listening to the kids bickering in the back seat all the time.

Now sitting 3 rows behind them on ferry since fortunately we did not all fit in same row

@famososMuertos - you're over balance by 29.43$.

We will consider tickets as valid and a rebuy used - just please let us know what's the desired amount. The cap is 100$ per round.

_________________________

Spain is so much better in this game, Belgium ruined my Belgium not to score ticket from the only chance they had.
I expect Spain to cover a -1,5 handicap until the end - the only thing stopping them is that I placed a lot of live bets on that outcome.

Aside for @fm I'm out of balance too [again]. If I haven't reached the buy-in limit for this round yet, I'd appreciate it if you could let me buy in again. I'm not even sure whether my first buy-in was during the Quarterfinals or back in the Round of 16.

Anyway, at this point it feels like I'm feeding the bookie instead of beating the bookie. lol Maybe this thread title should be changed from Beat the Bookie to feed the Bookie.

You have to feed the beast sometimes before culling it  Just check my history in BTB, was dead last with 400$ in buy backs before turning it around. Depending on today's results I could be in small profits or really good profits.

[KTChampions]

+3988$

The bookmakers are striking and the overall plus now stands at $3,012.

~Still I have a lot of money locked in the tickets, if they don't come true, I will loose my first spot and if they do....new heights await  

It seems like you're in for a big win if Norway - England BTTS Yes, but if not it will hurt. You can easily hedge this outcome  
I'm thinking about doing it instead of you   For some reason, it seems to me that Norway is overrated, and Tuchel, with excessive rationality, will dry up the game.


I was on the verge of missing this game day - for me the Norway - England game time is 00:00 and it's the 12th, haha.

[famososMuertos]

Well, if we were required to notify anyone (CRO2) about the rebuy and specify the exact amount beforehand, that should have been explicitly stated in the rules, because:

Quote, OP:
Rebuy systemTo keep things competitive and avoid early eliminations, a rebuy will be allowed once per each World Cup round. // My balance was +0.70
You can rebuy up to $100 total balance (meaning, if you have a $20 balance, your maximum rebuy is $80$). // My difference was $99.30
Unsettled bets count as balance - meaning that if you have 2 unsettled tickets with $10 stake each, it will count as $20 of balance. // I had no active tickets.(End Quote)

So, the way I see the "You can rebuy up to $100 total balance" rule is that I play my round and place my bets by reloading just the difference ($99.30) or less. And that all wraps up with the Argentina-Switzerland game.  Anyway, may the best bets win!. Now let's see if Messi does his magic again! 🐐🔥 

[buwaytress]

Hhampuz, you were just warming up the seat for Trofo, weren't you?

And I was asking in group chat but should have read this thread first, I guessed right. Trofo's going BTTS big. I hope I don't ruin your confidence, KTChampions but I was actually thinking of a clean sheet for the idiot Pickford too. Not because of anything else but Tuchel's desire to lock this down. Mexico gave them a scare, but they're capable of things Norway aren't...

Yup, some people rebought for less though. That's why we asked you.
Then I'm writing the full rebuy for you.

xLays - welcome back too.

________________________________

Just FYI - HHampuz's last betslip is over balance. That is ok and valid, the amount used is his full remaining BTB balance.
That betslip was submitted by myself - not something we regularly want to be doing but considering it's an all-in, an exception was made.

[KTChampions]

Hhampuz, you were just warming up the seat for Trofo, weren't you?

Mexico gave them a scare, but they're capable of things Norway aren't...

The only thing that worries me is the weather anomalies. Who knows how the players will behave when their brains melt. Should they either not play at all or score their own goals? We'll see.
I see that Hhampuz is trying to sink Trofo by going all-in with BTTS  Are they both going to win big? Too good to be true and by the way, one of those moments (like it was with Args but we passed it successfully) when bookmakers can turn the overall situation in their favor, which would be sad.

I checked their betslips and Hhampuz needs England to win + BTTS while Trofo only needs BTTS on some of his tickets, he also got Argentina related bets on his acca on some.

If both win all their tickets, Trofo probably will retain the 1st spot again and I do hope both of them win. We are going to milk the bookies and it will make the next round even more interesting if Hhampuz not going broke on this one  

Crossing fingers on BTTS England - Norway, preferably on first half

[notblox1]

Hhampuz, you were just warming up the seat for Trofo, weren't you?

I cant believe what I see!! This is a total S C A M ! 
Same thing happened to Croatia and Egypt when they got kick out of world cup, so I request we remove Snake from first place of leaderboard.
I dont know how is it possible that Hhampuz fell so low, but maybe he was risking more than he should done.
But lets just wait and see leaderboard after Norway vs England match, I think Snake wont stay up for much longer.

The point is that the rebuy I make is effective at the time of my bets. That is, if I don't place any more bets, then the rebuy stays at $30, and that's it. If I place a $50 bet on the Argentina match, then the rebuy is $80, and not $100 like you want to set it. Anyway, leave it like that, it's no big deal...

It isn't, because it says in the rules one rebuy per round. So you have to decide from get go. Not game other people with things left in the air.

[slaman29]

Wow, first time my small bets hit like that, and that was really super safe bet. Turns out in the end my beloved Messi couldn't score but his assist was more than enough luckily phew.

So semifinals are all the favorites of the tournament except Argentina (who were not in top 5). My outright survives. Now Trofo is uncatchable, and he will probably just sit there because not even allins can catch up unless I all-in x2

[cryptofrka]

Yeah, Hhampuz busting his balance means that Trofo probably won't even be challenged.
I would have tried if England covered a -1,5 goals handicap, now I'd need a 10x odds hitting with my entire balance - not realistic.

With just 4 more games to go, there's not enough time to attack properly with my usual playstyle. I will give it a go though with some crazy bets.

My 3 tickets for the round are already in, so you all know what to do. Of course, I may add more and bigger ones if I see some new info before the games  Nice position to be in for sure.

I was complaining how many games there are in the WC and now that we have just one game per day and some days off I am feeling a bit lost.

[KTChampions]

$3,012.

So, we responded with a blow for a blow and after losing almost 1 thousand dollars, we won 1600 dollars back and now the total plus is 4617 

However, it is worth noting that without Trofo's incredible result, the plus would have been very modest - only $120.
But a win is a win (it's unlikely we'll be able to go into the minus in the remaining 3 games, which, by the way, are pretty murky to take a lot of risks)

When you said "you can rebuy up to $100", I understood it exactly as I explained before. In any case, I thought everything had already been cleared up.

However, I find it completely unnecessary for you to say: "not game other people with things left in the air." There is absolutely no need to accuse me of trying to play games with anyone or manipulating the situation. I wasn't doing that at all; I was simply trying to understand the rules properly based on how they are written. I'm not looking for ambiguous interpretations. I bet cautiously and at my own pace, as my history shows. Your tone here is in poor taste. Perhaps that phrase sounds culturally acceptable to you, but from the outside, it comes off as highly accusatory.

If you don't want to accept my previous bets, that's fine, but the original rule - "You can rebuy up to $100"- is poorly phrased and open to interpretation, which is what caused the confusion in the first place.

A clearer way to write it would be:
"One rebuy per round, maximum $100. The exact amount must be declared at the start of the round and cannot be changed afterward"

Anyway, now the rule is clear. Let's leave it at that.

It was not aimed at you at all - just a general statement, explaining the reasoning behind it - which was to protect players.
Your reasoning is ok if players rebuy with empty balance - but doesn't work if somebody has 30$ remaining and wants to rebuy.

The actual rules state exactly what you suggested - one rebuy per round, maximum $100. It can be mid-round though, that's why we like to have the actual amounts written in the thread.

Rebuy system

• To keep things competitive and avoid early eliminations, a rebuy will be allowed once per each World Cup round.
• You can rebuy up to 100$ total balance (meaning, if you have a 20$ balance, your maximum rebuy is 80$).
• Unsettled bets count as balance - meaning that if you have 2 unsettled tickets with 10$ stake each, it will count as 20$ of balance.

All in all - I hope this settles it. There was no malice or accusations in our comments.

Yeah, sorry if you felt attacked. It was not meant in that way but I can see how it can be understood like that. I just meant that the way you interpreted rules leaves room for manipulation if someone would want to do it. And wanted to explain reasons for why we are "complicating" with rebuys. All fine, no need to dwell on this any longer. Time for you to do some catching up on the table anyway. GL
