Since cryptofrka and I were the ones that decided who goes in what division in season 1 we placed our selves in Div 3. So there are some teams that were Div 1 all along like buwaytress  Grin and some that had to climb to the top.

After that initial season, all new players always started from the bottom.
Ain’t no doubt your guys are skilled in this and surely wasn’t going to stay there at the bottom and I don’t doubt my capabilities in gaining in real soon.

~snipe~

Hey man, welcome. Check this one out as well, it will be good practice for you.
The pleasure is all mine, cryptofrka, sure I was pleased finishing ahead of you in the FPL and having to compete yet again in another even through a different division, I’ll like to catch up with you, Trofo and my brother Igebotz in division 2 and 1 when the season restarts as it applies.

Looking up for some sources to be updated on the stats to catch up.

@smartvirus you can join in next round of questions to see how many points you can score and to get used to making research on sports you don't even care about. That's the beautiful of BSFL....
Sports I don’t even care about right, lol… well that’s some of the thrills I hope to get out of this. Having to familiarize myself with a few other sports that haven’t really pushed my interest, the rules and the players too. Widen my options for a bet and markets to bet in as well, really having to utilize sportsbook for what it is.

Long time ago I was working so hard to buy Bitcoin but I couldn't because I had no job, but starting from this
month of January I have gotten a new job that pays me 5 figures a month and I just use $110 from my salary to buy Bitcoin,so as today is the last day of the month I just bought Bitcoin with part of my salary.
However, I bought it from a 3rd party through the help of a co-worker at my working place.
I don’t know how you would be working so hard to buy Bitcoin and yet you don’t have a job! Perhaps you’re not using the right word here or perhaps doing remote jobs, earning from your skill(s), that pays wages for work done doesn’t count as a job for you.
However, you have archived something here and that is, you have a 5 figure monthly paid job and have been able to start building your portfolio. It doesn’t matter what party you bought Bitcoin from, what matters is having to make your investment, be consistent about it and ensure you’re getting them coins off the exchange to a none custodian wallet.
From the screenshot shared in OP, it seems you’re doing your accumulations on Binance and that ain’t advisable. Binance is custodian, you could try using Electrum wallet, Mycelium and a couple of others out there. Perhaps when you’re grounded enough, you could go for some hardware wallets. These ensure your in full control of your accumulations.

Sign up immediately, you will play for real from next season but you can immediately start playing for fun or maybe arange some friendly bets. That is good way to be up to date when real thing starts for you. Half of 3rd division players will also be free from next round onwards so maybe they are good targets for friendly games. All new comers start in lowest division, so third one for you.



Latest article is up guys

Just threw my hat in.

Ain’t no way am letting you guys have all the fun while I watch on the sidelines. Not a division I would have liked for a start but, it’s okay to test the shores with it, learn the rules and adapt to the space while being competitive.

I see you’re in 1st division already at Trofo, you’ll be the monster fish I’ll fix my eyes on. Seeing other great guys here too.

@fortebettor Most of you simply pay for a pool and then disappear without reading or following up on the thread

Yup, this sums it up perfectly. Also means that there's no reciprocity - the user does not want to give anything back to the sponsor/community by remaining active.

They crawl back only when they have something to complain about.
Still on my wide stroll through the forum continues for some pool of interest and this seems relatable in some thread to what is expected of certain genre of users as debated. Though with a different theme but still talks about participation on the forum thus, thread. Where users would just come for the pool only to crawl back out upon conclusion with little or no participation and throw some shady tricks.
@Igebotz @cryptofrka could relate, don’t want to be hitting the nails directly.

The thread should be made to serve its purpose as, being informative as it could get, a user that keeps up with the thread would be surly informed without dramatization.

From what has been discussed and referenced, suggestions and to decisions made where done considering possible cases of participation which should make understanding a lot easier and acceptable with that context.

CS confused me initially as well - I don't follow that at all. Still, it's quite easy to figure it out if you use liquipedia.
Saw this thread initially during the kick off in regular season and thought it seemed like something I would have liked to try, I couldn’t pull enough motivation to get kicking. Lately, due to the close of the FPL season, I’ve tried doing some reasons here and would want to get in. Still needs to understand how the season is run though and when is the deadline.

I see season 4 as currently running on the ladder board and I would like to join in, from the division 3 as, I’ve still got to learn some pros and cons to this.
When do I get to sign in if possible?
Last entries is as far back as February on the registration thread.
127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 27, 2024, 09:14:09 PM
Dortmund might not be different from Real Madrid in their last games but they are minority here if look at the running this season and how far they ended in 5th place but my idea is simple, keep sending message of El classico to them, it will give them the impression that Real Madrid will not take it lightly but we are now sitting on the same level of performance, we will see that day but I hope I don't get a sleepless night with the result.
I wouldn’t use their last games as a yardstick towards the forth coming UCL game. In the case of Real Madrid, the league was already sealed in their favour when Barcelona lost in a remarkable come back match against Girona. Once that game was won by Girona, of course Real Madrid was just going to play safe in their remaining games while, Ancelotti gets to test some strategies.
I wouldn’t under estimate Dortmund however, they are capable of some good football as well but, not to the quality of Real Madrid for sure. Dortmund is a scoring side as much as Real Madrid, I hope to see them playing a more attacking football alongside Real Madrid but, Real Madrid is undoubtedly the leagues favorite.
128  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BC.Game 🦁 Fantasy Pool | Euro 2024 ⚽ Discussion Thread on: May 27, 2024, 08:54:26 PM
Friends.

This thread will serve as a temporary home for Fantasy Euro 2024

The sponsorship fee will not be as large as we would like (about $1200 + bonus codes), but nevertheless I wanted to know your opinion.

What do you think if the entry fee is 2 mbtc?
Personally, I don’t mind this thread having to serve that purpose as a temp thread for the Euros in 2024 days, I’ve been a bit bored with all the leagues gone and I would have loved to compete but, am not a big fan of international footballing competitions. Can’t keep up with them and the news hence, it would be just loosing yet again I think. So, am not sure I would be in on this one but, I might just be here to see how it goes.

2mBTC served its purpose well when Bitcoin price was ranging and it came easy, coupled with the fact that, the sponsorship was much more than that and enticing as well. To enjoy the game and make it more competitive, the entry fee would be what bridges that and push the prices a bit up.

So I’ll say, 2mBTC is enough if you’re sure to have more participants.

I get your point, feels like they would just come in, take our money and leave right?
It is very possible that some of these people that would join this forum for the purpose of participating in our FPL games, may just decide to stick around and become members of the forum, so I would not be so bothered about them coming around to just eat some money and leave although that is possible too.
Obviously, it could be that and these are speculations that could easily be the other of the times. Like we had people from Clubhouse TV channel on Telegram, coming over to voice over the cheat situation we had from last time and picked up the pace with evidence to support the proceedings, it was something nice to see. Such users would be able to adapt rather easily and add to the forum but, I don’t think the forum is what the sponsorship is about mostly.

This should be fully supported. We need some fresh blood ant tthe more people we have the better.
More person's in the pool will make it more fun and improve the competition, I support it too.
My first season, we was just a handful and it wasn’t any less competitive but this season, we had even more users and it still was very competitive. Having more and having the list of users grow helps to promote more competitiveness and the idea of a bottlers league ensures you don’t get to give up on being competitive because you found yourself relegated in the bottom due to some mistakes you made when the season kicked off. All these really adds to what we could benefit as well as the prize pool.

As much as opening the opportunities for just anyone could go, it would be nice for those that have been around to have some differentials with the entry fee. Take it as a faithful’s benefit.
129  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Question to hodlers:How will you spend the money? on: May 27, 2024, 08:26:53 PM
Hello,friends
The question is addressed to hodlers who have been hodling bitcoin for years
Sooner or later there will come a moment when we will sell the bitcoins we hodl and have to invest this money in something else to create passive income
It’s important to note that aside from Bitcoin, there are a lot of other places you can invest your money such as you’ve highlighted a few, like having to buy properties, real estate, investing in stocks and buying shares, these are gainful ways to invest money too and you can archive this even without liquidating your portfolio.
It’s important to note that, most investors that take up Bitcoin investment with a long term hodling plan on it, definitively have other streams of income to sustain their hodling through the years it would take.

You can’t really be a good hodler without having an alternative source of income. That’s where you get more investment funds from and that’s how your hodlings gets sustained. In essence, you don’t get to have a definite plan for selling some of your hodlings but, as the need arises.
130  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Silent payments on: May 27, 2024, 11:27:44 AM
The basic idea

The basic idea is the following: user A publishes some identifier (usually a public key), and user B combines his private key with the published key of A and creates a unique address from which only A can spend. User C can also send money to user A by combining his private key with an address of A and deriving another unique address. User A will know that both users B and C sent him money, but B and C won't know about each other. Therefore, that allows user A to receive payments on completely delinked addresses using only one public address.
I think this is a lovely idea but, one of the many things the blockchain technology is known for is the level of transparency that is about the network.
I think to some extent, it’s the role in which mixers operated, given that you lose traces to the source of Bitcoin deposits except for one who is really keen to observe the inputs and outputs.

This silent system, does it also applies to the balance that might be available on an address?
I see this as one key aspect to privacy that we aren’t getting on the network just yet. Having just anyone to see how much is available on an address isn’t a best way to security. Tie that address to a person like we have on the forum, even though to some we are anonymous, it means trouble. The mixers case came close to some of these uneasiness.

It would be a nice incorporation into the system but, one that would be exploited for sure.
131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do your parents invest in bitcoin ? on: May 26, 2024, 10:05:20 PM
Parents? That’s a dumb things to ask and am really surprised having to see this! Like what do I care about my parents having to invest in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency projects out there. I think the most I could do is invest in their name but, it would often fall back to me as, I would be standing over their grave and not have them standing over mine. I’ve got some old forks to parent me and they are they damned too traditional to adjust to a new system. I better leave them than to complicate their minds with Bitcoin and how it works.
My investment over the years is good enough to serve in some capacity and ain’t no way they are getting to do this, am okay with the forks I’ve had to groom over the years, am cool with my parents having yo enjoy their old age and retirement benefits from their years of d service. Can’t risk no heart attack on them and let the profits or loss count in hospital bills.

Manchester United managed to lead 2-0 in the first half, did anyone expect this to be the score that would be seen in the first half? I'm sure not except for Manchester United fans and bettors who tried something unusual by betting on the unseeded team to win in the first half.
Manchester City have managed to handle manage the game quite well in this first half, tried not to commit any major error on the backline in being more defensive, allowing Manchester City to have much of the ball but, attacking them on a break, forcing the Manchester City defense to make a mistake, get into position in those pocket of spaces and just placing the ball in the net. This is a page from Real Madrid’s play book when they played Manchester City in the UCL.
They’ve done more than manage in this first half, it could have easily been 3 goals but, had one disallowed due to offside. Manchester City tried to keep a very wide high line to maintain its position pressing forward but, it’s turning out to be something they would regret.
They are a team that could always attempt a come back so, it would be interesting to see what changes Pep could effect on the game in the second half.
134  Other / Meta / Re: Is this forum getting worse and worse? on: May 25, 2024, 12:04:22 PM
Now, to that, add that we've lost valuable members, some of which were intellectually influential, and you have an Internet board filled with mostly crap. What's the problem?

The quality of the forum is defined by the people that exists within, their contributions as well as what their intent is.

Should the absence of mixers count towards any decline in having some users leave the forum, I hope it not be directly linked with not having to earn from certain promotions as, that would mean a loss to them. On the context of having the forum bend in some way, that I would see some reason but even more so, the forum is hosted in somewhere and it’s got to play by certain rules as, individuals are tied to it somehow.



From time to time, there would always be this and that shift but, there haven’t been unprecedented decline of users, we’ve still got so much quality to be proud of and it all depends on where your looking.

One of the Iconic exit was that of Lauda, it was the first but, hardly due to the fact that anything was just going to happen like the banning of mixers but, just an old timer haven’t spent a good memorable years here and chose to take a bow respectfully while ensuring the ID Lauda keeps its reputation and yet an emotional one from Leo. People really do love here just because they want to and it’s hardly based on that ban or that decision from the administration.

To get sponsorship money you need some angle, be it players, popularty or whatever. And that goes double for fantasy which has super focused group and nobody who isn't part of the pool reads this thread
You have a point there, I think over the cause of my first season participating in this group and competition, I naturally felt it was a member exclusive thread where users in the FPL get to discuss tactics and how to manage the proceedings of there team, I even had to rebuke a user whom randomly dropped by to share some comment on the games that week but, was made to come to an understanding that by Icopress on how the thread doubles as both an FPL and EPL thread on the gambling board.

This brings to mind that, though we might not have participation from everyone or even some players, it doesn’t necessarily mean that thread isn’t been watched. Before I joined up, I watched the thread for sometime.

I’m my first season, I think users on the forum could get an invitation link to join right from the sponsorship site, was that it… someone remind me if am wrong. While this might not advertise the sponsorship site but rather the forum, this thread, functioning as a double does reflects the sponsorship too.

All good if we can attract some truly bottlers rather than a bunch of Alts to boost the prize pool and increase the pool's competition, but the only concern is that if strangers from outside the community continue to win the larger prize, everyone will become bored and lose interest over time. I enjoy losing money to individuals I know, as well as taking their money for bragging rights.

Can we also increase a little % for those buying in from outside the forum? We pay 1, they pay 1.5 ( forum privilege)  Cheesy
I get your point, feels like they would just come in, take our money and leave right? I guess that wouldn’t bother you much if you were winning, lol… am not winning anyway but, I’ll be there soon and am not very much bothered on the fact that, I have those much better than myself having to win the prizes and teach me the game but, I’ll like to see these guys around. Not having them come with yet another alt every time, creating more and more accounts that adds nothing to the forum only to leave it after the season and multi-participate in the next.

Dortmund should apply their strategy when playing against PSG. They can also defend well if they meet Real Madrid. This is their strategy, not luck as you think. They will continue to use that strategy to face strong teams like Real Madrid.
Luck doesn’t get you to the UCL finals! If it were to be luck, then we would have found the likes of Sporting CP or Celtic in the finals. They are a good side when playing locally but, aren’t that good enough just yet to make these stages in the UCL. Dortmund weren’t lucky, they dared to take the bulls by the horns, went for it and didn’t hold back and they got it. I think their biggest challenge was Arsenal, once they had them off the way, PSG wasn’t much of a threat like we assumed they would be.

Now, they face a real giant in the UCL, a team that knows how to play and pride themselves in the UCL. Dortmund have got to show themselves to be more than exceptional to come close to equal Real Madrid as I think, experience would be where they loose it. I don’t see Real Madrid not winning this, there are players to the team who wants more and more of these medals and trophy. On like in the Laliga, Real Madrid gives some real show in the UCL but, I would be open to some surprises if Dortmund can.

In short, if they are guys (or girls) who will regularly discuss things with us, by all means, otherwise keep them away. This is my personal opinion not my stance as a pool organizer. Who knows who will organize the pool, what sponsors we will have, and what rules that combo will land on?
You need to be a forum user to join the FPL on the forum, that’s to say, it’s exclusive to for forum users but then, having to create an account with aim geared at participating in it’s forum exclusive FPL contest feels a bit off. Given that, the much that is done here would be undermined just for some fun time while contesting for a grand prize and runner up.

Even now, I feel a little board of the fact that, the season is gone, the FPL in another 3months then, we would have our guest users gone with their league oriented account, only to come back when there is a prize to be won. It doesn’t feel like the best approach towards the forum. They don’t leave us a ghost town, only to ride in when we preparing a fist.

More regular forum users would be nice. So, I’ll say get regular and get a pass towards some of the forum’s exclusive activities and not just a registration ID with a fee to support.

You did not understand. I didn't decide on it. It is official FPL tiebreaker. And it isn't about -4 points for the transfers. It is the total number of transfers in the season (free transfers + those that cost -4 points). Who has fewer - wins.
Oh that. Thought you were suggesting a means to some decider but, if FPL has these rules in place than that makes a lot of sense. So much for stats and a lot to know about these rules to the game.

A wonderful performance from the home side Girona in the game against Granada, at the same time I'm very disappointed at the home team for putting on a good show against a team that's not worth it in any way.
Ain’t nothing there to be disappointed about mate, they’ve got no reason to be any more competitive or reserve there performance but, to end the season in a way that would be memorable to the home supporters and mark the season’s performance. Many thing was archived by Girona this season and the most of all was there UCL qualification. They didn’t think they would get to that level, in fact the aim for them was Europa and shortly after they bagged that, they went over to qualify for UCL.
Hence, having to deliver such a final performance for its home side is a necessity.
Granada didn’t do much to resist them and the worst still was having to conceive a penalty and got a red card. 3 goals in first half and another 4 goals in the second, that’s indeed spectacular.

This is not wrong. I only made it clear that government officials bribe is different from government fine. That should even be seen as illegal and a shame on themselves. Outsiders can easily know how this country is. That a lot are about bribing. The reason this country will not move forward. They care about their own pocket and not the interest and progress of the country.
This is the reality for most third world countries, being at the verge of development and developing, italways about doing whatever is necessary (in their case) to build wealth and not just wealth for themselves but generational wealth that would serve even when they are gone.

Na there the matter cast reach because, e no dey end with one person. Anybody way enter office go fill say, na opportunity for am to collect en own. If you no collect, e go be like say na you be mumu. Even people way dey around you cef go plan to harm you via say,them go feel say you go expose them one day.

Meanwhile, watin be the reason behind the none disclosure of names. This in itself na corrupt practice via say, these guys go actually stay off the hookand nobody go pursue the matter even. Hiding the identity of these guys is another way to promote these activities. Them for dey cast them for the public to know the kind persons we get in those persons.
