BonusPater

Never really know how to convince someone like you, but the client isn't even developed by Unibet :)

Poker makes up 2 % - 2 % - of the revenue, so sure Unibet will risk their entire business for making a few extra pennies from the most insignificant product - not even saying your speculation makes sense :) Even if you don't believe the authorities and companies testing and approving the RNG, you must believe in common sense :)

@MILLER453 don't think you understand how a site makes money from poker. It doesn't matter to Unibet, if you win or lose - they'll win in any case, as you're paying rake. So Unibet always makes a profit on your loss, but so do they if you win - it doesn't matter to them. Unibet don't win anything by having a AMMLNG (Always Make Miller Lose Number Generator) instead of RNG :)

And yes, of course the RNG is certified and improved :)

Welcome back :)

Kicker-grades are funny to look at but to be taken with a big grain of salt. Personally, I think the writers from kicker like to get high on their own supply a little too much for my taste. According to them, Bürki and Götze have been the best BVB players in 17/18. :laugh: According to them, Robert Lewandowski (2.73) and Serge Gnabry (2.75) almost had the same level of performance last year. :laugh:

I certainly agree with that! Some players they're in love with, and others they hate - at least it seems like that. For Sane and Naldo it's not only about the Kicker rating though. Naldo scored the most goals of all defenders, and both won a crazy % of their duels - if I remember correctly they were the two best Bundesliga players by this metric.

I've been going insane with the Fährmann ratings this season, as that's what EA are using for their Fifa ratings, and he got a downgrade - he was already rated too low, and then they downgrade him. He's had the most clean sheets of all keepers in the league, but still he's rated as one of the worst keepers. In the previous seasons he had a lot more to do, because the defense sucked, so he'd get more attention and better ratings. This season we've been very strong defensively, so he hasn't had as much to do. In previous season, a match without much to do and 0 goals conceded would give him a 2-2.5 rating. In this season he's been getting 3-3.5 ratings for the same performances! Sure, for the first time in ages, he did have three bad games in the spring, but if you look at the full season he's been solid. #FOCKEA

3 things:

I think the players you mentioned from Schalke are solid Bundesliga players, but nothing more. You could do the same list with Red Bull Leipzig or Gladbach, for instance. You mentioned the kicker-grades for Naldo and Salif Sane, however you declined the importance of Meyer who finished the season as the best Schalke midfielder according to that ranking.

---

Yes, you're totally right that, on paper, Schalke doesn't have a fantastic team, and that's also why it was such a big surprise to many that they managed to finish second. However, Fährmann, Naldo, Sane and Caliguri (most underestimated player in the team) are not just average Bundesliga players (could include more players here as well), and a player like Harit has imense potential - I consider him a top 10 talent (or even top 5 aged 20 or younger) in the Bundesliga. 

You can do well without individuals, if the team is working together, and I don't see why it would suddenly stop functioning for Schalke.

All that being said, I'm a bit afraid of next season, but I'll probably still bet on them to win both the Bundesliga and Champions League

Schalke (and Hoffenheim) will get problems due to playing UCL and losing important players without getting anything in return (Goretzka/Meyer).

---

Sure, it won't make things easier, but I don't really think it'll be a problem for Schalke. 

Goalkeeper: obviously not a problem for Ralfi to play all games.

Defense: with the signing of Sané, Schalke have got two of the tree best defenders in the Bundesliga, according to kicker ratings and stats from the past season. Naldo was one of just four players to play every single minute in the Bundesliga, so even though he's not young anymore, +35 games in a season shouldn't be a problem. Nastasic is the third starter, and then there's Kehrer and Stambouli for whenever someone needs a bit of rest. Defensively Schalke haven't been this strong since we had another amazing Brazilian many years ago, and I don't see any issues here.

Wingbacks: with Caliguri, Scöpf and Oczipka only injuries can cause issues, and even then there's still Baba and a player like Kehrer can also play this position. No issues here either.

Central midfield: the most problematic one, but further players will be signed. Meyer honestly isn't that big of a loss, and Goretzka didn't make a big difference either this season - he's been amazing before, but had a lot of bad games this year. I expect great things from McKennie,  and Bentaleb, Serdar and Sané can also play the defensive of the two positions. For the attacking midfielder there's Harit, Serdar and surely another new signing.

Wings/attack: hope for another signing, but Burgstaller, Uth, Kono (who really started to play well), Embolo and Harit is a decent selection - count on Embolo being out half the season though.

With another two signings, I see the team as considerably stronger than last season.

I hope he doesn't get stuck behind Bernd Leno, or is Leno going somewhere else?

 Rumours are that Leno is gone, maybe to Atletico or Arsenal.

Yeah, sure he'll leave this summer, else this transfer wouldn't really make any sense :)

Just thought I'd mention that it's now possible to add videos from mobile devices as well - the button was hidden before :)

@RedHotChiliP, not sure if you've noticed, but you're the only member on here who seems to be having certain "communication" issues. I believe your posts sometimes come across in a way you didn't intend, and maybe you should put more thought into the choice of words. Sure you won't be banned, but you should read the community guidelines.

Let's try and keep it civilized and avoid communicating too much like Trump :)

NB swearing never does any good to a discussion.

The Community

It's a show right now isn't it? I think someone needs to say it and I'm quite happy to be the that does. For everything that is great about it, like the Malta Rumble and other promotions or good quality discussions about changes, there are now twice as many pointless posts and spam from people trying to level up and whatever else they might be doing. I know it's going to come with the turf as the community expands but it's becoming so difficult to wade through the garbage to get to the good posts these days. I think Jeppe and Ray are doing a great job but it appears the Community is getting too big for two people to look after. It started with 3 staff members looking after it in the beginning and it was much smaller than it is now with 2 staff.

Much like the poker client I'd expect this is down to available resources and constraints like the forum software so the guys just have to work with what they've got which is a massive shame as this is a great resource for Unibet.

Anyway, that's enough moaning for one post :) I'll be back next month with the end of month review and probably more complaints :)

I do agree that the days with "open" freerolls (password protected ones) are a nightmare, and 1-2 hours before the freeroll starts till the end of registration, it's just ...... However, I do think that some of the new members are actually contributing with decent content, so it's not all that horrible, even though there's certainly too much noise - it's probably too much for the guys now, but imho the posts should just be removed, and members only posting "pass please"/"ticket please" - when they can't get the ticket/pass because of T&C - should get a warning before a temporary ban (it's essentially spam).

Well, I think it's worth considering if these password protected freerolls should even be a thing anymore, considering the maturity of the site (here I'm not talking about mature content :D) and number of members. Might be worth considering if the free stuff (apart from rewards for contributions, like the weekly surprise) should be a thing of the past, and promos should be more like the community rumble (without freerolls), community league and slot tournaments for real money. Free stuff does equal more activity and better numbers, but the quality really suffers from it.

Yeah, waiting for @JeppeL or @RayL to update the post with the code that I posted above

Found an interesting special. It's essentially a H2H between Schalke and Bayern in the last 4 games - Bayern ahead with 20 points at this moment and Schalke got 4 points down to Leverkusen and BXB.

Schalke have got the following matches:

And Bayern these:

With Bayern having already won the trophy and them still being in both Champions League and the DFB-Pokal, I could see them end up with 7 points in the last four games. Schalke are quite unpredictable, but I expect them to get 9 points in the remaining games.
Unibet have also got odds 2.00 on Bayern to win with 18 to 21 points.  

Average market odds on the next three Bundesliga games for each side:

Schalke to win against Köln = 1.95
Schalke to win against Gladbach = 1.72
Schalke to win against Augsburg = 2.22

Bayern to win against Hannover = 1.52
Bayern to win against Frankfurt = 1.44
Bayern to win against Köln = 1.32

I'm almost at 20 % for this bet to be a winner, so there's some excellent value to get.

NB should be mentioned that Bayern didn't really slow down in the previous seasons, after they won the league - last year they won the last four games with 16-5 in total.

@JeppeL @RayL see three posts above :)

@jerry, pretty sure that's for accounting reasons :)

A bet for tomorrow:
HSV vs Schalke - Most cards HSV - Odds 2.55.

Schalke are favorites to get the most cards, which makes perfect sense, if you look at the total number of cards the two clubs have gotten this season. However, because of the way I expect this game to be played, and because Naldo, Embolo, Caligiuri, Meyer and Stambouli (players who are shown a fair amount of cards) will miss out on the derby next week (most important game of the season), if they get another yellow card, I actually have HSV as small favorites to get the most cards, which means there’s very good value.

@JeppeL can you update the first post with the following code for the streams? Can't use iframes anymore :(

@psruack, didn’t really look at the odds when placing that bet :D

Found an Easter egg as well with a € 10 freebet. Let’s go yolo Bundesliga :d 

We should have a home game for sure!

@JeppeL, will there be a post about a community side event? Is anything community related planned for Malta? Would be great to know which community members will be there, so I can arrange a home game - could be streamed :)

@jonny2192. Didn't know DSO was going to be at the same time as UO. DSO definitely makes more sense, as it's only the seat (don't really need the hotel). Unfortunately I think there're less players on my level in the DSO sats (read: none)

Well, got € 20 on the account, so why not make it a goal to get that DSO seat :D will play some qualifiers this week :)

Haven’t played for a long time, as I just haven’t felt like it. Decided to play a € 10 UO qualifier, as it could be fun to play here in Malta. My second hand was the below, and the first hand had been an all-in preflop shove from Polica, so I thought I’d go for it and do the same. 

Thought so. As I have a Maltese account, 0 streams are available to me, so I can't really do anything about this :D

Yeah, just css, so should do no harm. Haven’t tested if it’s working though - might be for an older version of the site.

Let me know if you manage to get it to work. Can have a look at that sort of customization as well :)

Loading fine here. It doesn’t load at all for you, or?

It's an issue with the platform (**bleep**). There used to be a custom component in the right side showing exactly this, but as more and more content was added to the site, the code began to fail. The standard components can't show what you're asking for. They either show all latest posts (multiple from same topic) or just the latest topics created.

@JeppeL maybe worth giving the custom component a shot again? Believe it hasn't been tested for some time, so maybe they've fixed the issue :)
