thats dope man, ive always had a rough time with NBA so I tend to avoid it. 3.5k would be sweeeet

more like a bit of fun, and if I am as good at it as I think I am I make some $

Day 2: Reason: Backing Real Madrid to immediately make up for Barca's slipup. Benzema to have one shot on target and a Madrid card nets me a solid $20 should it come off. Not too much research behind this one, just banking on Madrid showing their superiority against one of LaLiga's weaker sides Result: Win Reason: A big part of gambling is finding value, and Roma is most people's dark horse for a run at Serie A this year. Having put 6 goals past a Salernitana team that was lucky to avoid relegation last season, and adding Dybala to an already strong front line. Im predicting a Roma win with at least 2 goals, a couple corners and a card for the opposition Result: Loss - Another unlucky L after the Spurs game. Roma hit the post twice and had some crazy chances, but couldn't put a second goal away Reason: The first real top 6 clash in the Premier League this year, and backing Tottenham's form vs Chelsea's history is a tough ask. So I haven't picked a winner. What I have done is found some value in the shots market, im backing a deep lying Kane to put some shots on a platter for Son and Kulu, with yellow cards almost a guarantee in this game. Result: Loss - apparently a Kulusevski shot is too much to ask for, Spurs somehow also ended up with no cards on the pitch despite Romero manhandling Cucurella's hairline

Day 1: Not going to properly start until the European football kicks off tomorrow. But found a pair of tasty bets I like the look of Reason: Top of the table LAFC and their stacked team of former European goats should be capable of knocking off Charlotte who has won 1 game on the road since the start of the MLS season. Recently losing 4-0 away to a very weak Toronto team Result: Win Reason: The last 5 games Inter Miami played at home resulted in at least 3+ goals. 4 of the last 5 games between these two sides have seen 4+ yellow cards. Inter Miami has given away at least 4 corners in 8 of the last 10 MLS games they have played Result: Win

Current balance: $200 Total profit/loss so far: $62.23 Win %: 66% August total: $200

Hey everyone, I’m back on the sports gambling. Trying to one up my previous $20 to $1000 I did 4 years ago. Now that I actually make decent money and can afford to lose $200 I’m gonna try to hit $10000 or go bust trying I am going to post most of my picks a day in advance, with the reasoning behind them and aim to have this challenge completed by the end of the regular football season ⚽️ In May. Those of you wanting to join me for some bets then by all means! This thread serves to publicly display my progress/idiotic bets. Im not limiting myself to one sport, however most of my bets will be from European football, the NHL, World Cup and the MLS as those are the ones I’m most familiar with

The best part of this thread is gbwead demanding answers 😄 Week 2: Week 3: Group A: Nagahex vs Kepzal Sebat vs Realdevillegend Group B: ikillua vs GabrielAZ Ericthegreat vs Tehkharma Group C:. Badbaarsito vs Kokenocastro DocPBC vs Edwardinho Group D:. (2) Jhowteon vs BYE FREE WEEK Akarukoyoko vs Gabuchox Group E: (2) Yjos vs Mediomuerto (forfeit) Neblinamist vs AaronRC Remember you all have something to play for still, 1 win can still get you into the final bracket. Good luck all! I posted late, so deadline is 8pm EST 08/18

cool, if thats how we doing this mediomuerto can forfeit his last week too...

Can confirm

Ohhh the drama if there is things I need to address I’ll do so tomorrow, currently on a night shift with just my phone and I can’t focus on the walls of text Week 3 matchups also out tomorrow. But you can probably figure out who you play before then if inclined

LF an OU ringer…. Let’s win this thing

To my knowledge EVs haven't been an issue so far

There is a whole thing discussing this back somewhere on page 1/2 alot of players had concerns revealing EV spreads that they had worked hard to customize and build. I agreed so we decided to keep them secret this does allow the sneaky individuals/cheats to change their EV spreads. We strongly encourage people not to, due to competitive integrity…. But ultimately until a better system is implemented by devs it can’t be helped if calcs don’t add up from different battles (IE a Salamence under speeding Hydreigon one week, then out speeding it the next) then we can catch that player. otherwise we are revealing pretty much all the info you would get from a standard VGC game on the handhelds. Edit: if your EV spreads are any good they shouldn’t be getting customized regardless

Unless someone else is running VGC, I appreciate you making usage but I will not be restricting mons in my tournaments unless something is inherently broken or OP. I also wont be deciding it based upon usage, as you can see from your graphic some mons are more commonly used, but none of them are outright winning everygame

It has come to my attention Kharm also got screwed over by the moveset error from @lKillua last week. lkillua thank you for your honesty regarding using a move you initially did not select. @PKTxKharma @lKillua the week one result has been reversed. Let this drama be a warning/heads up to everyone else, make sure the stuff you are using is the same as your pastebin. And for future seasons make sure you send in the correct movesets

@lKillua @EricTheGreat I can see the drama has finally happened. I am going to be as fair as possible here The rules from my original post were quite clear, no changing movesets, EV spreads etc and if you were caught deliberately changing you'd be subject to punitive action. Ikillua, I understand you pleading your case over discord. However you have 100% edited your discord message to me with your team, as I straight copied and pasted your information into the pastebin (and given it was the second move on the Bronzong spreads, its not like it was clipped off in the paste). When you saw a mistake you had made prior to week one involving your excadrill not having earthquake, you messaged me and we fixed it before anyone played. Since battles have begun in week 1 I have not allowed anyone to change movesets or spreads, as @Xigbar can attest to. Regarding your other message on discord "why would I do a relaxed zong gyro without a special attack?". The simple answer is trick room, the lengthy answer is I dont know but im not here to question your sets or spreads. It is also not my job to double check with everyone if a mistake was made with specific moves, as a competitor it is your job to have your team ready and correctly movesetted. I am sorry that you did not see your mistake prior to now, however given how strict and how clear I made the rules regarding this tournament I cannot bend them because of a mistake made on your end (not mine as your whisper conversation with Eric implied). I am led to believe that only the first battle of the best of 3 has been played. And that given that I believe this was a genuinely honest mistake. That battle will be an automatic forfeit for you @lKillua, but I will ask the two of you to please arrange a time to play the second battle (and potentially the third) ASAP. The bronzong must follow https://pastebin.com/VEFKibZm

Just wanted to make a post to elaborate on the group stages ending, as its about a week and a half away. Just given there is the possibility of some weird stuff occurring with ties in the standings and there being 19 players. There is a chance that we get a couple 3 way ties. It could get pretty weird depending on how things go in the final week. I am using the following as a loose guideline for everyone to try and have something to aim for. 3 wins - You win the group, get 1m, move to the final tournament with a possible bye round 1 2 wins, 3 way tie - You split 1m with the other 2 in the tie, guaranteed to play round 1 2 wins, 2 way tie - Head to head record wins the group and 1m, both guaranteed to play round 1 2 wins, no tie - Guaranteed to play round 1 1 win - Regardless if there is a tie/no tie, you become a reserve for the final tournament. Depending on numbers you may be required to play an elimination game against someone else, win the elimination to make the final tournament 0 wins - You are out Given I cant guarantee how the standings end, I am waiting until after the final week to guarantee anything further.
