Yes , thats what i suggested as well .... You have nothing to lose if you bet all matches 3-3 ... Maybe when you lose 100 points then you would think twice before betting this .... cause even in real life, you have to pay the stake if you want to bet .
Exactly. Admin - can you put something like this on the next week leaderboard? It will prevent from typing some strange results randomly.

If you think you can win by betting 3-3 on all the results, then I encourage you to give it a try for this weeks leaderboard - then we will see after a week how it went
This year we already set a max odds limit of 100, no matter what odds the bookmakers have, to balance it a bit. I don't recall someone hitting odds >100 ever ending up winning the Overall leaderboard, so long-term dedication seems to trumph it still, but maxing it out at odds 100 gives more balance especially for the weekly leaderboard. We may lower the max odds even more, but not this time, as we are already in the competition.
Allowing users to "pay" 100 points to participate is also interesting and we have thought about it, but you risk ending going broke and not playing the Mob Betting game any longer since you can't, and we want it to be a fun and free experience for everyone throughout the entire competition.

@Admin - Yes, but in real life betting, you may also lose all of your bankroll and stop betting anymore, until you pay more Of course results like 3-3 in every match are impossible, but leader - won 80% of his points in this way. It would be nice to reward players with highest percentage of correct types, because you may correct bet 90% of results (not exact), and lose because someone correct bet type with high stakes (like 10-20 odd)
BTW, my friend pochui - you doing great so far in this week - congrats!

I understand that is free and that everybody can do whatever they want with their bets,but its sick that in first week you make every bet with 3:3 result and then you are some tipster!vau!and with this 100 points per bet,you dont have to take from mob account points,you can just take on leaderboard minus points and then lot of people will think twice with their bets!so every time when somebody make wrong bet,you take 100 points from this 8000 points and would be lot more interesting!

It is not real life betting so the results we are after are the rare ones. No one would bet like it has been said by the admin, time after time for example 3-3, risking real money. Very soon you will go broke, even if you hit it right at some point.

don't take it too seriously guys, a game is a game, after all it's a free chance to win something. sure for those dudes who are into sports betting it is quite a frustrating scenario to try and perform as if you are playing with your money and placing "correct" bets and in the end getting a good profit, but seeing biggest prizes won by dudes who place outrageous bets, the ones they wouldn't have placed with their own money at stake

Today is the 2018 FIFA World Cup Day 6. I have won my bet on a match result a few times, but I haven't correctly predicted a correct score of the match for any games yet. Yup, zero, nada.

Yes many results that i never think can be realistic, i too think that germany to lose to mexico is something very strange, germany in good form and good players and mexico not very strong team, also poland play so bad vs senegal

For bettors yes, but for bookmakers it's a heaven I guess, lots of players placed bets on handicaps and lots of goals in today's matches... Strong teams seem to play on a result, they are scoring a goal and then trying not to miss one.

After Russia destroyed Saudi Arabia who wouldnt expect Uruguay to score more than 2-3 goals against them ? But actually Saudi Arabia had some chances to score as well ... so it could had been easily a draw ... This world cup is strange . What this mean ? Russia is favorite to win World Cup ? they scored the most goals so far ... 8 goals in 2 matches is a lot .

well by no means I would say that Russian is suddenly a favorite to win the world cup, actually they have done very well to get out of their group and depending on the draw might go a step or maybe two more... still there are way better teams in terms of squad quality, experience at this stage and at lifting the trophy

^^ Yes, but remember that Russia is a host and it's always easier plays at home arena. Of course we have better teams but after 1st stage we see that some favorites failed. Eg. If Germany will lose next match to Sweden, they will go to home... Similar situation has Brazil which only draw.
Yeah, judging by score our team is currently the best, it is very surprisingly for me and most of our fans, keeping in mind our team's FIFA rating and poor results in the latest friendly matches. Obviously it's not a favourite, I think that Russia will keep playing in an open game with Uruguay, as the result will not matter, and then it all will depend on 1/8 final game. If Portugal or Spain will play like they played in their second matches, there will be chances for us. But I don't think that that teams will give such a present for us

I just read some World Cup news articles and found out that there are only two teams (Italy (1934 and 1938) and Brazil (1958 and 1962)) that managed to defend the World Cup. A lot can change in four years, I guess. Let's see which team ultimately wins the 2018 World Cup.
It was very sad moment.. But I'm happy that Germany lost his match
