I guess this one is from the 19th, thanks. @AlphaGambler

Feb 19th 

well this month is going bad lol but ya cant win em all lol 

NY Rangers VS Calgary

NY is the away team so for that reason Calgary is the favorite. NY has a record of 33-14 and calgary has a record of 25-19. Calgarys at home record is 14-10 and NY 's away record is 17-5 and NY is also on a 7 game winning streak ..... how is calgary the favorite? so i went and looked over the preview and still NY has 0 injuries but are playing their second goalie but he still has a better save percentage as Calgary's goalie. With this month going bad i gotta keep swinging for the fences lol 

NY Rangers money line for 2.20

Braga has 15 wins , 4 losses and 1 draws, therefore the fact that after 20 matches they are now among the leaders of the championship, few can really surprise. Their high position is also explained by the statistics of goals: 2.3 and 1, that is how much they score and concede on average per game. In home (away) matches they are most dangerous from the 76-90 minute, during this period they scored 11 goals, but in the same second from the 76-90 minute of the game, there are obvious problems in the defense of their goal, because they conceded 13 goals. Obviously, having such statistics it is worth expecting a beautiful and entertaining game from the team.

At the moment, Arouca is in the 7 place in the table with 30 scored points, having 8 wins in its assets with 6 draws and 6 losses, and it is important to note that with a slightly more stable performance of this team, its results could be much more solid. Their average scored and conceded goals per season are 1.2 and 1.5 goals per game, respectively, and it is hoped that the club intends to make every effort to improve their results.

 My bet: Not both teams to score and Braga to win with 2.560 odds

Roma are in a fierce match for a ticket to the Champions League  so far with mixed success. At the moment, they are fourth in the table with 41 points, but has no lead over competitors - Milan is only behind. During the week, Roma unexpectedly lost away 0-1 to Salzburg, but Wolves will have the opportunity to play this handicap on Thursday. Verona failed the first round of the championship and is very deeply bogged down at the very bottom of the table. At the same time, after the winter break, the they gave a number of quality fights and their situation is no longer hopeless. So far, Verona is 18th in the table. I think both team can score goals and everytime they met it is over 2,5 goals. You can check the history so

My betting pick will be over 2.5 goals 2.4 odds

Partizan — VOYVODA

Partizan (rank 44) — VOYVODA (rank 62)
Number of maps: 1

Tournament: European Development Championship

Prize fund: 45.000$

Event format: online

Head-to-head statistics: first face-to-face meeting

Statistical facts about the match Partizan - VOYVODA:
"Partizan" won 6 wins in the last 10 games. “Voevoda” have 7 successful results in the last 10 matches played.

Best Partisan Map: Ancient, 7 games, 71% win rate

Best map “VOYVODA”: Mirage, 7 games, 86% of wins

Lineups for the match Partizan - VOYVODA:
"Partizan": c0llins, emi, Duplicate, KalubeR, ROGA

Coach: Feed

The main star of “Partizan”: ROGA, rating 1.20.

“VOYVODA”: h4rn, REDSTAR, bubble, dream3r, oxygeN

Trainer: -

The main star of “VOYVODA”: h4rn, rating 1.22.

Prediction for the match Partizan - VOYVODA:
“Partizan” are not in the best condition for the tournament. The European mix failed twice in the open qualifiers for the PMP tournament, losing twice to the Polish “9ain” and “Anonimo”. But “VOYVODA” had five victories in a row, however, the level of rivals was an order of magnitude lower. If you look at the map pool, the Serbian organization looks more confident. Partizan has four cards stronger at once, despite the fact that Overpass is also a permaban, which means it won’t reach him. And, given the format of BO1, this should be a key factor. Partizan Esport will win odds 1.64

Bit of a risk to bet on Man Utd at anytime, although lately they have put a fairly good run of results together and been a lot more of a stable bet than last year for sure. Tomorrow they face off against Leicester and both teams will be desperate for points, Utd to cement their Champions league place for next year and Leicester to move away from the relegation zone, they are only 4 points off of it and they have started fighting as a team. Their last result showed this with a great win over Spurs. I think Utd will still win this game despite them having a very busy schedule of late, so my prediction for this game is BTTS Utd win @3.00 on Bet 365.

My betting pick for competition today is...

It will be a UFC Fight Night Las Vegas #69 Light Heavyweight Co-Main Event match between Jordan Wright (12-4-0, 1 NC) American versus Zac Pauga (6-1-0) American.

I have Zac Pauga winning this Light Heavyweight match with Bet 365 odds of 1.66.

Zac Pauga was fighting at Heavyweight, and will take this match with Jordan Wright at Light Heavyweight. I've noticed when most Mixed Martial Arts (aka MMA) move down in weight classes they do better then when they were at higher weight classes. Zac Pauga's only loss was 6th of August 2022 against Mohammed Usman during the Ultimate Fighter TUF (The Ultimate Fighter) 30 series as heavyweights in the finale, Pauga suffered a brutal knockout in the final match of the series in round two. Mohammed Usman is the younger brother of ex Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman also in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (aka UFC). Both the Usman brothers made history becoming the first ever siblings/brothers to win the TUF series.

Jordan Wright has four losses in his record, truthfully speaking this is a tough fight for him, and I truly believe UFC is just trying to end his contract, however, if he wins this fight, depending on how he wins as well he could very well get an extension contact. I just don't see it with 3 of his losses coming from knockout, and one by submission guillotine choke.

In conclusion someone is getting knocked out in this match.

Fight officially over, Zac Pauga wins by decision. The elbows, and short left/right hooks Jordan Wright was taking, especially on the fence were nasty. I'm surprised Jordan Wright wasn't knocked out, his head looked like it was about to come off his neck, hahahahaha. 💥🤛🤜💥🤕😆😂😅

Main Event about to start in less than two minutes.

I'm very interested in seeing how Erin Blanchfield versus Jessica Andrade turns out in Main Event. 

[Sumit]

=> over 5.5 goals 1.775

Two teams with problems in defense, well, playing open hockey regardless of the score, and the teams have no goals and objectives for this season, they just play for their own pleasure, I don’t think what to play from defense brings someone a buzz Lida, in general, always breaks through the last matches with such a total, but Molodechno will play at home, at least not for many fans, well, to win

1. LeBron's team is the all-time winner of the last five All-Star Games. The teams of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant were beaten twice. In 2018, King James and the company coped with the guys of Stephen Curry.

2. This time in the starting five of the LeBron team, in addition to the king himself, Luka Doncic, Lauri Markkanen, Ja Morant and Nikola Jokic will enter the court. The bench will include Domantas Sabonis, Damian Lillard, Jaren Jackson, Shai Gilges-Alexander, Paul George, De'Aaron Fox and Anthony Edwards. Zion Williamson and Stephen Curry will not play due to injuries, although fans have included them in the team's roster.

3. In 2019 and 2020, Giannis Antetokounmpo was the captain of his team. However, then it was not possible to defeat the team of LeBron James. The Greek basketball player and partners lost twice with a score of 164:178 and 155:157.

4. This time Antetokounmpo will be assisted by Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving, Donovan Mitchell and Jason Tatum in the starting five. In addition, Bam Adebayo, Jaylen Brown, Demar DeRozan, Tyrese Haliburton, Jrue Holiday, Julius Randle and Pascal Siakam can help their partners at any time. Kevin Durant will miss the game due to injury.

Bet: KING LEBRON JAMES TEAM WIN

ODD: 1.7

@Joshthomas I do believe this game will technically be played on the 20th, please remember we're going by CET time zone, meaning that this game will be played on the 20th, early in the morning on the 20th.

If you'd like to just wait a few more hours then he'll post the '20/2/2023 competition pick' thread, then you got this.

Hope you can still get in a pick for this date.

1. Yes, only 2 hours after 12 a.m. of 20, but there are also rules that say we should post bets, and there should be ample time for people in the forum to bet on them. So I post this bet, and it's after 15 hours from my post time!

2. You posted your pick right before your match started, which is completely invalid as this competition is not made for us to win money but for punters to bet on our picks, so our picks should be posted at least 12 to 24 hours before!

This is interesting, my time zone is completely off from the matches, most of the matches are on when I'm sleeping.

@Garf79 Can you confirm to see if @Joshthomas is correct? All my picks to date have been before anything starts, however, never 24hours ahead, I don't see anything about '12hours- 24hours'. I do see 24 hours ahead.

Brother, everyone has a different time zone! 

This competition is completely made for posting picks for punters and forum members to bet on! Rules stated that 24 hrs before which is completely valid but due to different time zone it doesn't mean I will post pick just before 1 hour of match. Then there is no point in organising this competition. At least  pick should be posted before 12 hrs. I always post a pick that has at least 15 hours of plus time so that forum members can get on it! 

Good luck!

Having dinner at the moment, that's why I may take longer than usual to respond.

 

I said my time zone is off because most matches in Europe are on when I'm sleeping, you replied with... 'Brother, everyone has a different time zone!'. Yes, that's a fact most of us, not all, are in different times zones in this competition.

 

The reason I bring this up... all my picks in this competition have been minutes/hours before they start, based on the race competition chart I seen a few days ago... I was ranked 4th with only a few picks made, I wasn't in since the beginning. However, these picks qualified, and none of them were within your '12hr-24' threshold.

 

That's why I'm confused with your responses, that's why I'd like an official confirmation from... @Garf79

I was only trying to assist/help you see that possibly your NBA pick should be in on the next post/date from @AlphaGambler , not this one. 

 

Whatever happens I wish you the best, seems like you, and I both started late in this competition. Based on what I've read you're great at sports bets, I've never gambled on Tennis, with your picks I may just start. @Joshthomas 👍

[Garf79]

@Ayer Timeand @Joshthomasyour match predictions have to be on CET and I know this can be quite confusing for people in different time zones. @steveois Canadian and is around 7 hours ahead of CET time, I guess you guys are east of CET which means you will have to think ahead. The site is run off of Rok's time zone and to save things getting really confusing and everyone has to play by this  zone, I hope you guys understand and try your best to get your predictions in around 24 hours  before the match starts. We ask for predictions to be in around 24 hours before start as people are starting to follow the tips placed on the site. 🙂 I must have missed the time you posted your last picks @Ayer Timeand I will let the results stand this time as it was a genuine mistake, in future though all predictions must be posted around 24 hours in advance.

I always post picks in between 15 hrs-24 hrs so that everyone can use my pick. If I am late, then I skip that day so that I don't break the rules!

@Ayer Time yes u cannot pick right before the game starts needs to have at least 12-24 hrs in advance but also @Joshthomas your pick for the NBA All-Star should be on the 20th forum not the 19th
