the actual free bet option on Vega.bet isn't fully online yet. the dev-team is working on it, and the free bets will be available very soon...
for the winners on the first match day, only their own Vega accounts were credited with 50 USDT - so this wasn't the actual free bet in that sense

Just a heads up. 50 USDT has been credited to my wallet on Vega. Thanks for that!
I went to the withdrawal screen and there's no indication that it's not available for withdrawal, so it looks like there might not be any wagering requirement at all. I didn't go ahead with the withdrawal though. I think that given it was meant to be a free bet, not free credit, it would be fair to wager it at least x1 (or use it to play around and test the site), rather than withdraw it straight away. Especially when they made a nice gesture of doubling the prize, which they didn't have to do.

I also received my free bet and it is also a full $50. Awesome! 
But naturally, I’m not placing a withdrawal request - I’m placing a bet 
I think the "Over 2.5 Goals" bet for the United vs. Sabah match is a sure thing, the odds are only 1.23, but it suits me. My second pick for the multiple bet is "Both Teams to Score: No" in the Bayern vs. Bodø match. A riskier bet, since Bodø is a good team, but the odds are 2.18, so the risk is justified. So, the total odds are 2.68, I hope it works out.
Good luck to everyone, and don't forget to share how you use your free bets.

The risk is high I would say. Yesterday I placed a bet on Viking scoring against Stuttgart in the first half and the odds were 2.85. Stuttgart is not that good at the moment and as always, a goal out of nowhere is always possible for any Champions League team. See Slovan against PSG, see Feyenoord against Barcelona, and see Viking against Stuttgart. Was a nice one for me, paid off well. But I wanted to say that Viking almost had no chances and the goal did come out of nowhere. Bodø scoring against Bayern is definitely possible.

@KTChampions time to go for Elversberg against Bayern? Probably not when you bet on Bodø not scoring at all. Odds for Elversberg are 17

Barcelona is certainly not a team whose defense should be held up as an example  For PSG, this is actually their first win of the season - though, yes, they did concede a goal. I don't deny there's a risk - Bayern have played four games this season and conceded in three of them, but for me, that’s an additional argument for why they’ll put extra effort into their defense. The biggest risk I see is Neuer, unfortunately, his time has passed, and I don't understand why Bayern is dragging its feet on replacing him, usually, they are more ruthless in such matters.

I fully agree, and I am saying this as a German who celebrated him for more than a decade, insane interpretation of the goalkeeper game, making him an 11th field player literally in many situations, many dangerous situations. But believe it or not, many German commentators still call him the best goalkeeper in the world, not because of his past achievements, they say this because of his current form. That is why I think the public agenda pushed him into the national team for the World Cup. He didn't make a difference at all and I am confused like you that this narrative is still being held up. Bayern has been far more ruthless in such matters in the past, but for some unknown reason it is what it is. Kompany already announced that Neuer is the definite number 1. I wonder if he was pushed towards that opinion or whether he really thinks Neuer is the man? Who knows.

I went crazy with my free bet and placed multiple smaller bets.
I also did bet on Man United, but on the result rather than the number of goals.
Looks like you made a good call on both of your bets, although there are a few minutes still to go. If nothing changes, congratulations. Well done.

It crossed my mind to actually use free bet to hedge against Kicktipp predictions, i.e. go against the trends on like 2 games on Kicktipp, but bet on the opposite side with a free bet. So either I'd significantly increase my chance of winning another $50 free bet, or I would pocket some real money profit. Unfortunately, there are also draws, which make things more complicated.

Yes, it all ended well, I turned 50 bucks into 134 
I didn't watch the match, but I saw that United got the result early on, whereas Bayern were at 0-0 after the first half. But the second half turned out exactly as I expected. A good day, but of course, that’s not the end of it, $134 isn't exactly something that gets the adrenaline pumping or something I’ll look back on as a huge win... so, it’s going into the next multi-bet, heh heh.
As for your strategy, it might actually make sense - especially if you bet on upsets on Kicktip. That way, even if you lose the free bet, you’ll still come out ahead on Kicktip compared to the majority of people who bet on the favorites.

in less than 8 hours, the match between union berlin and promoted schalke 04 will kick off, marking the 3rd matchday in the bundesliga and thus another chance to claim a 50 USDT free bet on Vega.bet!
we still have quite a few participants in our prediction pool who haven’t submitted their picks yet, and they are:

Thanks for the reminder, these three-day Champions League rounds really throw off the schedule and make it feel like it's still too early to make predictions.
I don't envy Elversberg in this round - they have 6 points, while Bayern has 4 This is a good source of irritation for a team accustomed to dominating. It seems that in the match against Bodø, Bayern rediscovered their path to ultra-efficiency, so I’m expecting a big scoreline here (and, hopefully, a BTTS No outcome).

I almost forgot that the Schalke 04 game is today 

That’s because last week I promised myself I’d submit my predictions early so I wouldn’t risk missing any matchdays, hehehe

I upped the goal totals in my predictions a bit, since the number of goals has been surprising me

[cygan]

i’m tagging all of you here to let you know about a new rule change regarding the 50 USDT free bets!
specifically, if there are two or more matchday winners on a given matchday, not everyone will now be credited with a 50 USDT free bet on Vega.bet; instead, a 'free bet winner' will be determined from among all the matchday winners as follows:
1. the winner is the person with the most 4-point games (on that matchday) - if there’s still a 'tie' then…
2. the 3-point games are taken into account whoever has the most here - if a winner still hasn’t been determined, then…
3. the BitList tool will determine the free bet winner. once the matchday is completely over, i’ll take a recent BTC block and apply the order of participation based on the current pool-standings, then post the winner here along with a screenshot.

i'd also like to ask you, if you use or visit Vega.bet in the future - for example, to claim the free bets - to log in using the following link: Vega.bet

The new tiebreaker rules are understandable. I expect multiple winners each round will not be uncommon, so it could strain Vega's budget that they have set aside for this purpose.

I can't believe I'm the only one who predicted Schalke would win against Union Berlin. You may as well send me that free bet now haha
Schalke are a bit underrated by bookies in my opinion. Their first loss against Augsburg was a bit unfortunate (and largely affected by a red card) and they posed no threat to Bayern in matchday 2, but they do have some potential and I wouldn't be surprised to see them ending the season in the upper half of the table, perhaps even qualifying for European cups.

congratulations on your strong start to the third round... it almost would have been a very good or even perfect start if that goal making it 3-1 in the 90+13th minute hadn't been scored!
today, the action continues with many other games, and as a big werder supporter, i'm really looking forward to tonight's game vs köln!

Well deserved pawel Personally, you should be getting a close score, how is 2-1 and 3-1 not close right? But well, this is not Superbru so can't complain.

Nice that there are actual Germans in here, but I'm assuming you have to be German, as nobody outside the country would be supporting teams other than Bayern and Leverkusen!!

It should be a bit pity to not get free bet when you're one of round winners. But it's understandable thing and we can't complain - in other pools we are playing without sponsors, while here we have money from sponsors and free bets.
Multiple round winners isn't very rare thing, but usually it's 2, not 4 like we had last round.

it’s official: following yet another defeat, gladbach has fired coach Eugen Polanski!
this marks the first coaching dismissal on/after matchday #3, and the first bonus points have been awarded as a result.
the only person in our prediction pool who got this one right and can celebrate earning 4 bonus points is... myself

Mönchengladbach managed to get off to an even worse start than last year, though they were terrible back then, too: just 2 points after five rounds, and 3 after six.
Congrats on gaining 4 points over everyone else - how did you figure out to make that pick? I thought they had sorted out their issues by the end of last season.
Is it worth taking a 14% profit on a Bayern win today? The teams are meeting for the first time in history, but we all know the balance of power in this matchup.

Wow, cygan is the only one who went with Gladbach firing their coach first. As if he knew something that te rest of us didn't I'm kidding, of course. Congrats on getting those 4 points. Just in time to secure you a first place. I see that buwaytress is slowly falling after a good start. But differences in points are still pretty small so everyone can still catch up. All it takes is one good round.

[cygan]

the 3rd matchday of the bundesliga came to a close with a 2-1 away win for bayern against newly promoted elversberg.
this time, we’d like to congratulate dzonikg28 on winning the matchday!
with a solid 17 points, he’s secured a 50 USDT free bet on Vega.bet - congratulations!
fortunately, there were no changes at the very top of the standings

Nah, I'm Polish, and I don't really support any of the German clubs. I used to watch a lot of Bundesliga though and I'm aware that Schalke was a force to be reckoned with for most of its history (and still has great potential in terms of the number of supporters and stadium attendance), so I expect more of them than from other newly promoted clubs.

Well done to Dzonikg for winning this round and jumping up the table by 10 places, and to Cygan for getting the bonus question right.

3 weeks in and I still haven't managed to get any exact score right 9i.e. a 4-pointer), but I'm not that far behind the top guys, so it's all good.
