Over 100,000 bets have already been made as thousands of sports fans compete for a share of 8 million Bether tokens in prizes in the Bethereum Gaming Contest. Have you joined yet? Sign up for free here!

I have finally broken through after being stuck near the bottom of the leaderboard with a few solid wins. I’m now over 5,000 points but not quite in the top 400. I’ll try to keep that going and help you along the way with my top few picks for this upcoming week. Here are my picks and a preview of the matches that are available to bet on in the free Bethereum Gaming Contest!

November 6: Tottenham vs. PSV (UEFA Champions League)

Both Tottenham and PSV are still looking for their first victory in the UEFA Champions League. Each side has only mustered a single draw in three matches with two losses. The match will take place at Wembley Stadium, which is currently in a bad state after a recent NFL game. The state of the field could impact the game, but the Hotspur are still heavy favorites at -300 to win.

My Pick: Tottenham has finally been playing solid football in the EPL and their form should transfer over to UEFA, although it hasn’t yet. I’m taking Tottenham in a low scoring match due to field conditions (1–0).

Wager: 500 points on Tottenham to win.

November 7: Juventus vs. Manchester United (UEFA Champions League)

Football fans around the world are excited for this massive matchup at Allianz Stadium as Manchester United will face Christiano Ronaldo and Juventus. The match comes just two weeks after Juventus won 1–0 at Old Trafford. Not much has changed outside of the location, and Juventus will be looking to improve to 4–0 in UEFA Champions League.

My Pick: Juventus to win. Since I still expect a lot of players in the contest to choose Manchester United, I recommend you hit this hard.

Wager: 1,000 points on Juventus to win.

November 8 (U.S.): Phoenix Suns vs. Boston Celtics (NBA)

The 1–6 Phoenix Suns will be facing off against one of the best teams in the NBA in the 6–2 Boston Celtics. Although the Suns do have several young stars on the rise, they are without shooting guard Devin Booker and simply don’t have enough firepower to keep up with Kyrie Irving and the Celtics.

My Pick: Boston Celtics should win easily, but they will also be heavy favorites, meaning you will need to bet a lot to win a little.

Wager: 1,000 Points on Boston to win.

November 9 (U.S.): Denver Nuggets vs. Brooklyn Nets

Few teams have been as dominant as the Denver Nuggets through the first eight games of the season. The 7–1 Nuggets welcome the Brooklyn Nets to Denver and at the time I’m writing this, have wonfive of their last six games. The Nets are not a pushover, but have lost four of their past five, and they lack the depth that the Nuggets are able to draw from late in games.

My Pick: This is a game Denver really should win, so I’m going to bet it big. I’m taking Denver.

Wager: 1,000 points on Denver.

November 11: Manchester City vs. Manchester United

With 26 points, Manchester City sits on top of the EPL. City has yielded only three goals and scored 27 — both best among all teams in the league. Manchester has turned their play around after a very rough start. United is 2–0–1 going into this weekend’s match against Bournemouth in their last three matches including a very strong draw against Chelsea and a win over a rising Everton squad with the help of an early Pogba goal.

My Pick: I don’t have enough faith in Manchester United and Manchester City has proven that they are the best team in the league. I’m taking City…big.

Wager: 1,000 points on Manchester City.
