Thanks for hosting this again @hilariousandco and props to our kind sponsor @Sportsbet, txid sent in pm. Not sure about you all but i'm super stoked for the new season, missed on the money finish by just 1.5 points, so absolutely looking to improve on that. With full crowds allowed in the stadiums, hoping for more consistent play from some teams and less head-scratching results. Gl everyone and have fun!  |

Just got an email back that I need to pass KYC in order to receive the money. I will do it, but it seems to be that more and more crypto casinos now require KYC... KYC for a 0.01btc withdrawal seems like too much, imo. Like @Haunebu said, your account probably raised some red flags (ip or betting behaviour similar to other accounts) and fj are just being cautious. Wouldn't be the first time this happens, tho (randomly requesting kyc)...Keep us posted Guess who else got slapped with the KYC stuff while trying to withdraw 5mbtc from their account? lol This is the first of the 5-6 crypto bookies i've used in the last two, two and a half years to request one. Imagine giving your documents to random guys on the internet for $200.  They (FJ) have my permission to keep my balance (around and over 0.01) and chuck a few beers on my name, i'm out. > removes fj from their bookmarks

Tomorrow Spain and Slovenia will face each other - it should be epic game, you can't miss it.
It should be a great match-up, I checked the odds and Slovenia are the favorite here at -4.5, I think the hype is on, I love Luka but the consistency of Spain in the Olympics cannot be discounted, so I'm going with the underdog this game. Here is a cool stat i dig up for Doncic and Slovenia: source: https://thesmokingcuban.com/2021/07/31/mavericks-luka-doncic-watch-olympics-spain/Doncic is undefeated in 15 games playing for his countries Senior National Team. Slovenia went undefeated in EuroBasket '17 (9-0), beating Spain in the semi-finals and subsequently winning the gold, topped their qualifier in Lithuania, and is now 2-0 in Group C. Despite both teams making it to the next round, this is still a really important game. The winner gets the privilege to be in the seeded group before the draw and avoid facing Australia, France, or Team USA in the quarter-finals, that's huge imo. I'm sure it will be a good one...kinda hard to pick a side but have a small bet on Slovenia 1Q @1.82. Spain scored 20 1Q points against Argentina and 18 pts vs. Japan. Slovenia did a lot better, 32 pts against Argentina and 29pts vs. Japan. |

Thanks to removing away goal rule, now so many games went to extra time and penalties. But there weren't many surprises.
<snip> I'm not sure i'm a fan of the away goal rule change, out 54 matches 11 went to ET/Pen, and that's way too much for my liking. Steaua Bucharest (or now known as FCSB) is one of the first victims of that change, 1:0 at home and losing 2:1 in regulation to Shakhtar Karagandy, who scored in the 90th minute to send the game to extra time. Steaua leaving the tournament at this stage is probably the biggest surprise imo. Larne, the team from Northern Ireland, was the absolute outsider in their matchup with Aarhus but they are going through, they pulled 7/1 in the first match and were minutes away from 15/1. Both teams from Greece, Aris and AEK are out after ET/Pen, this could also be considered a surprise. Pretty shitty day for me, 0/2, RFS won again, lol let me pull a quick stat from those two matches: goal attempts: Puskas 33 - 8 RFS corners: Puskas 17 - 4 RFS dangerous attacks: Puskas 160 - 60 RFS total goals: Puskas 0 - 5 RFS |

Area 51 ...we've got 51 matches from Conference League qualifiers today, not so many takers in this thread though, some of those teams do have alien-like names indeed. lol Les's give it a shot: Puskas Academy - RFS Over 2.5 @1.58The first leg outcome was very surprising, at least to me. RFS scoring three goals on 5 goal attempts and Puskas Academy getting empty-handed dominating throughout the entire match. I think the Hungarians are the better team and playing at home in front of their fans they still have a shot at advancing to the next round. If you don't like the low odds, another alternative would be the -1.5 at around 2.00 Rijeka 1X + O. Ljubljana X2 + Dundalk clean sheet NO @1.77Going up against two not-so-good Maltese teams, Birkirkara and Gzira, who both lost in the first leg and i just don't see them pulling an upset against much stronger opponents. As for Levadia, the Estonians have not scored less than two goals in their last four home matches, they did score twice in the first leg, and i am confident they will net at least one tonight. #bigbrainanalysis  |

By the way, the teams in first and second place of each group and the two best teams in 3rd place will qualify for the next round.
I'd like to expand on that because FIBA format differs slightly from what most people expect to see in the next round. So, based on their records and points difference, those eight teams (first two in each group and two best third teams) will be split into 2 groups, "seeded" and "unseeded", and there will be a draw to decide the matchups. France and Australia with two wins out of two matches and team USA (with that huge win over Iran) are almost certain locks for the seeded group, the fourth team in that seeded group will be either Spain or Slovenia who play against each other in the final round of Group C. There will be at least one very good team (contender) in that unseeded group. |

first ticket today is Midtjylland - Celtic , BTTS. Odds got slashed in the last couple of hours, i saw it earlier today @1.9 and now it's 1.79. I think Celtic will advance to the next round, but the home advantage for the danes could be a nice boost in confidence/performance, it might help them put up a good fight today I took the liberty to follow your pick (btw odds jumped back up to 1.89 minutes before the match), parlayed with Galatasaray - PSV btts, which was my main bet of the day. I thought the Dutch couldn't care less after the first leg and we could see goals, welp that late red saved the day for me. ps. 1xbet (1xbit) are back and front of the jersey sponsors of Kairat, i hope Red Star smashes them at home, fuck those shitty cheating sportsbooks, amirite? Wish granted, 5-0, Serbs are through to the next round. Here's the third qualifying round pairs: D.Zagreb - Legia
CFR Cluj - Young Boys
Olympiacos - Ludogorets
Crvena zvezda - Sheriff Tiraspol
Malmo - Rangers
Ferencvaros - Slavia Prague
PSV - Midtjylland
Spartak Moscow - Benfica
Genk - Shakhtar Donetsk
Monaco - Sparta Prague |

...and so it begins, the first trade of this offseason is in: source: https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1419756065625972747Memphis is finalizing a trade to send Jonas Valanciunas and 2021 Nos. 17 and 51 picks to New Orleans for Steven Adams, Eric Bledsoe, 2021 picks Nos. 10 and 40 and a protected 2022 first-round pick via the Lakers, sources tell ESPN. Grizzlies are moving 7 spots up in the draft while absorbing two bad contracts (Adams and Bledsoe). I'm not sure what to make out of this trade, i don't particularly like it for Memphis, but i imagine they have someone in mind to move up in the draft. I'd like to see them play without a typical big man next season, which means Jaren Jackson Jr. at the five, unlikely to happen though. As for the Pels side of things, it's a good trade, getting rid of bad contracts and opening up cap space. Lonzo will be a restricted free agent, so their roster could have a completely new look come next season. It'll be interesting to see who they bring in to play alongside Ingram and Zion, don't forget they also have a rookie head coach, Willie Green. So, a lot of question marks ahead for New Orleans... The NBA draft is this Thursday, July 29, we should see more trades being done in the upcoming days. |

So did we come to a conclusion about the draft date? Sounded like we were headed toward the 3rd or 4th week of August. 3rd week of August might be a little early, preseason games are still going on (they end on August 29), and you don't want to draft someone who has a hamstring injury or, god forbid, something more serious picked up in their last preseason match. September 2nd (Thu) through 7th (Tue) would be ideal, as close to kickoff game as possible. I don't have a preference for a specific day or hour, can pretty much do it at any time, perhaps @South Park can compile a list of everyone's preferred date/time so we can narrow it down. Can anyone also give me some advice on how to do the draft? Do you use pen and paper and write down your picks and have a plan b and plan c if your chosen player is picked by someone else? Advice me please hehe.
ESPN has mock drafts available 24/7, so you can play around and draft against real people, familiarize yourself with the interface, practice, etc. https://fantasy.espn.com/football/mockdraftlobbyYou can also do mock drafts vs. the computer (expert ratings) at fantasypros, their draft simulator is pretty good. You can finish it in less than 5 minutes if you don't take too long with your picks, just set the correct settings (2021-Standart-Snake-# of Teams 8 and your draft position), and you are good to go. https://draftwizard.fantasypros.com/football/mock-draft-simulator/ |

Men's tournament is officially underway with Czechs leading Iran at the half 46:30 in the opening game.  Lucked on my very first bet with a few made 3s in the final minute of the first quarter. Kinda boring match but twas to be expected, funny seeing Hamed Haddadi still playing, dude looks like 50+ (he is in his 30s, by the way, lol), maybe some of you remember him with his stint with the Grizzlies years ago. Nothing surprising so far, Czechs are handling their bizz and will likely win by the double digits at the end and cover their spread (-18.5). They had an incredible qualifier, defeating the super-stacked team of Canada and Greece in the finals to make the trip to Tokyo, interesting how far can they go... |

name for this derby...the blockchain derby? crypto derby? lame af, i know : P
Yours are alright i guess, i also tried but mine turned out super corny: « The Hash Clash», « El Lambo», « Derby del Satoshis», « The Honey Badger Derby» When you consider this will be their first-ever meeting on the football pitch, you can hardly call it a derby, but hey, why not have fun... well, i'm expecting good promos on match day!
The good ol' jersey promos would most definitely work for me... this though is x100 better! I've also heard that the Southampton players will be given each, in the event of a win, 100mtbc free bets, 100 free spins on Shamrock Holmes Megaways, and 50 free chips for Live Roulette. Imagine if professional football players were getting their bonuses in the form of free spins and stuff? lol |

Bookmark the date: 30.10.2021 Stake vs. Sportsbet, a clash between two crypto sportsbooks, live from Vicarage Road (Watford - Southampton). If you haven't heard already, Watford have secured a new jersey sponsor haha, oh this is going to be fun. We have to come up with a cool name for this derby, thoughts? |

Not profitable day at all. There is some surprising results today like Kairat win against Crvenza Zvezda, Ludogorets draw with Mura ar Legia didn't managed to beat Flora. You may have missed it, but Legia scored a late winner for 2:1 in stoppage time, saving my bigger stake ticket, thus i finished the day with a perfect 3/3 with Kairat and HJK matches both teams to score (see previous posts). I expected Legia and Olympiacos to have a much easier time today, both teams barely squeezed 1 goal wins at home, which may be something to look for in the reverse fixtures next week?  ps. 1xbet (1xbit) are back and front of the jersey sponsors of Kairat, i hope Red Star smashes them at home, fuck those shitty cheating sportsbooks, amirite? |

What were they playing, surely not football JK, but imagine you had the balls to put something on over let's say 10 goals before the match started, would have been a nice multiplier. If any bookie even offered such high margins. Even if a bookie had to offer 10 or more goals for the Dutch squad, the odds would not be as absurd as you may think. I'd say 8.00 to 10.00 tops, the Dutch are regarded as one of the strongest teams in this tournament, they are vice-champions from the last world cup (2019 France), the pre-match line was around 4.5 / 5.5, they beat a semi-decent team of Norway 7-0 in their last friendly lol, my point, there were many goals expected in this match. Zambian team with almost no friendlies played in preparation for the Olympics, complete underdogs at +15000, with the exception of their captain, who was actually pretty great, the others are absolutely god awful, including their center backs and goalie, who were comical. If the Dutch had not substituted their best player and goalscorer, Miedema, the game could have turned out even uglier. There's money to be made here... |

Agree though it should be a walkover for RS BUT Kairat Almaty have been punching heavily and RS Belgrade the opposite, declining pretty badly past two seasons. source: wiki2017–18 Europa League Group Stages
2018–19 Champions League Group Stages
2019–20 Champions League Group Stages
2020–21 Europa League Group Stages
As well as Serbian SuperLiga champions for the past four seasons, i wish that every team from a not a top league was regressing like Red Star Belgrade. lol i got btts ^ thank you very much, looking at Malmo and HJK, the Fins are not a bad team, i will probably go again with btts. ✓ |

Now on a regular match I would pick Japan but this is all U23 and I doubt if any of the Japanese stars are that young, minus the overage participants. So I went for S Africa, feel free to follow;) And I think South Africa will beat Japan too. Even if it is in their home arena/stadium. Teams are allowed to have three players over the age of 23 i believe, Dani Alves is playing for Bazil at 38. I don't think South Africa stand a chance here, their roster is mostly made up of players from their domestic league, with the exception of two from the Portuguese league, whereas Japan's roster is composed of some very good young players currently playing all over Europe. I'll list a few teams: Stuttgart, Antwerp, Zwolle, PSV, Fortuna Dusseldorf, Yoshida, and Tomiyaso from Serie A. If you straight up compare the South African league to Japan's J1 League, the J1 League is light years ahead. I see a comfortable win for the hosts, bookmakers have a very similar take on the game, Japan @1.25 and S. Africa @12.00.
Meanwhile having fun with women's competition lol :   |

Oi, Scott Foster reffing tonight! So, what exactly does the NBA want? GM 7 prime time on Friday night sounds good to me, they'll shoot those tv ratings up in the skies, which they really need since the bubble was a complete failure in terms of ratings (historically bad/low). I'm rooting for the Suns to tie the series, but i'd probably wait until the end of the first quarter to see where the whistle goes and which team gets the 50:50 calls. I have a feeling either Giannis/Middleton or Holiday will be in foul trouble early, similar to what they did with Ayton in GM3. Scott Foster is gonna finesse them Bucks, mark my words! Here's a couple of props that i got: U235.5; Ayton 10+ reb; C. Johnson 1+ 3pt @1.85C. Johnson has hit at least one three-pointer in each of the last five games against MIL. Ayton may not have the best series, but his rebound stats are always around ten or more, and i expect the Suns' starters to play extended minutes tonight, so i'm certain he'll cover the line. As for the under, with Suns backs up against the wall, you'd expect a low-scoring, nervy type of game. GM 4 against the Lakers where Suns were trailing 1-2, it was a 192 total pts. C. Paul 15+ pts; C. Paul 7+ ast; Booker 25+ pts @1.66Legacy game for C. Paul, i'm not sure he'll get many more chances at a title, it's all or nothing, win tonight or never win a ring. Crowder 5+ rebs; Crowder 1+ steal @1.94A basic hustle prop for Crowder. |
