Hi all

The group stages were a little too fast and furious for me to get ahead of the betting but, for better or worse, I am back to give my tips as the knockout stages begin. There are Qoins to be won so I will plough straight into it:

Tips for the Last 16 knockout stages

Save Me vs Death on Two Legs

I have this down as a narrow-ish win for Save Me, so that’s where I would bet. If you want to play the odds and take a gamble, the Vote Difference of 26-50 at 10/1 is good value. Remember that you can bet on different outcomes to spread your risk and increase you chances of winning overall. This is an especially effective method if you have built up a healthy bet multiplier by levelling up your avatar.

Somebody To Love vs These Are The Days of Our Lives

This feels likes the biggest mismatch of the round. Somebody To Love has obliterated other big songs. The Vote Difference of 51-89 at Evens is the sensible bet but I will definitely also be putting some Qoins on a 90+ win with odds of 50/1. 90+ wins are extremely hard to come by but you don’t want to miss out if this bet does come in.

If you have any Qoins left over after placing all of your other bets, stake every last bit of it on Somebody To Love to win this match. Although 1/20 offers a poor return, it is a guaranteed no risk win.

Win/loss tips

I am tipping the following teams to progress:

Save Me

Killer Queen (although part of me fancies The Millionaire Waltz to pull off an upset)

March of The Black Queen

Innuendo

Somebody To Love

The Show Must Go on (relatively good odds for the home win)

Spread Your Wings (I don’t feel confident on this call)

Bohemian ‘Big Daddy’ Rhapsody

Good luck everyone. I hope to be back with another set of tips when we get to the Quarter Final stage.
