The Beautiful Game (Ongoing)

[Arcus_Aesopi]

You get "something" whether you win or lose, so find the Beautiful Game news article in game and pick your teams!

Armory -> Beautiful Game to place picks.

You probably have picks available since it's the easiest daily 🙂 

Found this chart of odds if you know nothing about European Football (like me):

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10126191-euro-2024-schedule-odds-bracket-format-and-title-predictions-ahead-of-round-of-16

Here is the relevant text from that article:  England is top, Slovenia is longest odds.  No money need change hands so don't spend anything...

Switzerland beat Italy... against the odds, so I'm one down already!  Reward is trivial credits for the loss.  A win moves you "up" the rewards chain.

Next game is Germany v Denmark at 3PM (Eastern Standard if the website is smart, but that'll be an evening/night game over in EU)

Good luck if you're following it.

they want you to lose, they put odds that dont make sense how are the teams playing

I ve played switzerland and guessed right.

I picked Switzerland after watching both Switzerland and Italy played in the group matches.

Italy had slightly better chances, so obviously that was a better bet. I hate them and really like Switzerland, but I'm not stupid to go against the odds for decent prizes.

Now, I'm not even happy that my team won lol

[Efros]

Lost the Italy game but won on the Germany result.

[BigHeadShrimp]

Two out of two today. Let's see what tomorrow will bring.

[Arcus_Aesopi]

1/2 on the Germany win.... just used the odds table so we'll see how it does on the round of 16 🙂

Congrats on the winners... hope the stuff on the in-game prize track is worth the big 0 we're paying 🙂 

[Schnitchelkid01_]

I picked Switzerland and Germany and got 2/2

[IfYouSeeKhaos]

I thought if you missed 1 you just got the credits then you were out of it after that...

Is that right or do you keep going?

Keep going 🙂  You just can't get as far up the reward chain for stuff.

Fair winds and following seas!

When do the winners play again? Do I need to be looking at this every night if I put the first 8 selections in? Or do they go again in a week? 

[Yedwy]

IDK I guesst the Germany result but not the Swiss one, didnt get any prize or any progress on that chain I can see so I guess tahts it for me on the free extra stuff for gambling as it doesnt seem to work at all

Someone at WG probably has to set the match winners and populate the next round of the bracket manually. The news article lists Wednesday, July 3 as the day one can begin choosing winners for the next round, so I would expect everything (including rewards/progress in the chain) to update on that day.

Check the Armory. There is a "Claim Reward" button at the bottom of the Beautiful Game section.

My progress showed up after the morning reset as did the "Claim Reward" button as reported by @Nevermore135.  I'd expect progress to appear the day after the matches.

Best regards!

Here's how the rewards were given in game:

Loss was the credits, win was the "Portal Chips" which allowed me to collect the first prize which, when claimed, showed up as "Credits Purchased" in the list above (200,000 credits).

YMMV:  good luck!

Schedule posted above 🙂   I also have to keep earning the daily to keep picking, but I'm good for being able to pick everything in time.  If you're doing a little every day, you'll earn the picks you need... I think it's 500 bxp daily to earn the pick token.

[Arcus_Aesopi]

• June 30: England vs. Slovakia, 12 p.m.
• June 30: Spain vs. Georgia, 3 p.m.

First match has started for today.  Second match still has time to enter your pick in the Armory -> Beautiful Game section.

Good luck 😄 

[BigHeadShrimp]

Jeez, I know England squad is not doing very well but should not have problem with Slovakia at least. With England needing overtime to dispatch Slovakia, I don't think England can go far in this tournament.

[Arcus_Aesopi]

England tried to lose, but WON Over Slovakia!  Mother of all comebacks (for Football).  And I go +1 up the prize levels... you know, it's all about me... 😄 

Next game in about 20 minutes... get your picks in if you have the tokens!  Armory -> Beautiful Game.

The Odds chart is now 2-1.  Hope you do better!

Yet again, the underdog leads the favorite...  Georgia leads Spain 1-0 30 minutes into the 90 minute match... *sigh* 

[clammboy]

Italy lost but it is a beautiful game.
