I really doubt it, he's clueless about basketball.
You're probably talking about the EPL challenge which I forget to play every time.
Yes it was the EPL Jackpot challenge that he is palying.
I cant confirm this but I heard that he promised to send everyone who is in BSFL leagues nice tip if he receives big 10k jackpot.

Have you ever checked odds? Mission impossible

Ever since I started checking odds and picking bookies favorites I've been having bad results. Not worth looking Tbh.
This is bookmakers strategy to confused with odds sometimes, but you also cant ignore them completely, so better find some middle ground.
I won just 100$ from that 10k jackpot round. Yesterday's games were utterly unpredictable. Won much more on DOTA this week, feel sort of sorry I did not drop one DOTA question in this week's questions. ESL 1 Birmingham was super good for me. I was losing on tennis+football every day this week, and DOTA managed to put me in the green with late play every single time. Madrid open was strange so far.
Congrats.
This is not bad 5 time return from 20$ you spent.
