Edit: forgot to mention, if you are div 1 next season, buy in fee is 2.5 mBTC, we are deducting it from the award to speed up the process. If you want out of the competition you can of course get full reward and someone else will take your place.
I apply to jump in their place if someone decides to quit  Dont forget to send cryptofrka mafia his 2mBTC cut for winning against me in last round, and tell him not to spend everything on alcoholic beverages and narcotics again. Good luck everyone in Cup, I was not feeling so good and I didnt see this extra competition was organized  I have seen that yes but wanted to post first version of rewards as they are for accountability. Will be more free bets in this round and I would prefer if people settle them directly but I already know it will be more work for me. I don't mind that extra work but it adds a new layer of complexity on things and introduces another way for me to screw something up  Transaction will be super complicated no matter what, so I guess it is fine. |

I got my first points on Braga though, yee haw! And followed that with a fantastic Galatasaray upset -- but man, the big winner of MD2 is slaman29 who staked frigging 8 points on them!
I knew United would have problems today and I was certain Galatasaray would score. So both to score on my ticket but nothing in this pool since there isn't that or double chance options. Never believed Galatasarat would win though. Onana gave that penalty way too easy. 2 out of 2 for me in pot B but only good enough for third place so far. Not complaining, got a nice winning ticket today |

Round 7 has been going on awesome for me until now. I hope that I can manage to get the yellow cap after the remaining 3 matches. If I made a combined betslip of 7 matches I could have earned much more money. However I'm very stupid for preferring to lose my money in the other leagues instead.  Unreal start, and enough for yellow cap in the end. Total opposite of my performance and I find myself bottom of the pool with wooden spoon next to my name. Going from bad to worse this season. Never was the one to give up on the pools but this is getting embarrassing |

What do you think about the opinion of allocation of the prize among top 2 or 3 if participation is much for the Friendly Cup? When I first heard about the opinion of Friendly Cup I was expecting 3 people to join. However it looks like it has turned into a big organization with 7-8 people joining. I think that this stems from people's being used to the BSFL and their wanting to make predictions on even empty weeks.
This is the exact reason why I joined this friendly tournament. It's boring without submitting answers and then following sports to see how I stand. And, of course, commenting results here. I just hate it when we have WTA questions... Those women are so darn hard to predict. I am really proud of this WTA question, made me think a bit, in the end I have a feeling nobody will have an answer like mine for this one.
No betting for cup finals this time guys, and my article will also a be a bit late. As cryptofrka already said, Sportsbet guys are super busy at the moment. But we have some good news, Season 3 got a green light, it was expected but now it is official. Furthermore, I will post rewards spreadsheet later tonight. All of you should check your BTC addresses. If some of you wants another addy shoot me a PM asap and we will make it even faster. Rewards will be payed out as soon as the cup finishes and if you don't complain they are going to addresses you used to sign up to the competition. |

is there a rule when player from bench is introduced into team
I had Botman in my team, intentionally, because I was not sure if he is going to play, but now there is no change for him from my bench (where I have two midfielders, and defender that is also suspended)
and with a mid from the bench, it will be 3-4-3 formation, since I had 4-3-3
Auto subs will take place after the game finishes tonight and Ward-Prowse will enter for Botman in your team. Same would happen even if Gusto was another playing defender. @igebotz Don't know what is complicated with sub rules? First guy on your bench enters if that does not mean a change to formation that does not exist. At all times your team must have 1 GK - 3DEF - 3 MID - 1 ST Everything else goes. 4-4-2 formation guarantees first sub will enter no matter who misses out. If you start with 3 defenders, then your first defender subs enters. |

I learned the game by reading your articles Trofo (It looks like I still couldn't learn completely ). Therefore your opinion is important for my squad. Do you think that using wildcard was wrong? I'm not very sad for using wildcard. However first selling Maddison and later buying him more expensively created a big problem for me. There isn't right or wrong time to use wildcard. I planned it for somewhere between GW8 and GW10 and then decided to pull the trigger in 7, to save some money and get rid of United mids. I just made sure to cover Liverpool, Villa and West ham a bit earlier then their actual fixture swings happened. Rule of thumb, wildcard is worth about 16 negative points, if you can sort your team with -8 don't use it. If you use it make sure to catch all early price rises and falls. |

I looked at your team, and you have an excellent midfield and attack, so why are you planning to use your WC? Who do you wish to get that you don't currently have? Calma! Calma!! Those who activated theirs last week are now kicking themselves.
Why do you think so? I have only one regret from my wildcard last week, and that is picking Botman, there was info that he isn't injured which proved false and now I have to think what to do with him. Wouldn't be a problem if Gordon didn't get his 5th yellow this week as well. I counted on that and was prepared to take him anyways but would be much better for me if it did not happen at the same week. Anyway, nothing one transfer can't take care off, problem is, I want both Botman and Gordon in my team and don't really want to upgrade Kabore. |

I don't know the particulars of the sponsorship here but since I am running quite a few of these things so let me ask you something. What do you think we get sponsorship money for? To help you with the answer, brand recognition amongst bitcointalk users and presence on the this forum. Both comes trough the posts in the thread and general activity here. Any diverting of the traffic to other sites is actually counter productive and would diminish our returns. Why do you think I am posting all those tables in BSFL each round? Would be so much easier for me to just give you the link to the site we are using to calculate everything It is all about getting maximum for the participants in the long run and for that you need measurable results to show to the sponsors. Well actually to say diverting traffic from bitcointalk to the sponsorship site is abit of the exaggeration. What Im implying is an idea to just switch the pot B game from google docs to the actual Rollbit site itself ( as the sponsored site for now ). As for the other discussion and so on, it could always be done on this thread. Aside from that, this allow some people to actually try the sportsbetting site but obviously this is just an idea that will be hard to implement but something along this line could be considered I guess Think about it. Every week you have to come to this thread and click on the link, that is at least one more view per each of us per round. Plus that also makes it more probable that some of us will leave a reply. On the other hand if it is just Superbru and let's say Rollbit, you don't have incentive to come here other than to actually make a post. Then there is another even bigger problem. I have never met sponsor that has the ability/men power/will to have a person always on call for when we need him and that gets problematic if you have to rely on them to do something on the site. |

Still only around 10 responses so far but I expect people are waiting on some team news (personally, I don't think it's much of a difference in Pot B) but I'll ping out reminders tomorrow. Don't forget, you can also try out Rollbit.com's promo! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5468233.0Hey is there any possibility to update some of the odds on the questionnaire? I noticed some of them are very different from current odds, would be nice to catch a bit more from the update  It's going to be problematic. Odds change all the time, sometimes big swings in a day. And then others who've already entered picks will invariably be upset (or happy). Even some of my picks enjoy better odds now than when I locked in mine, but it could go the other way... everything evens out. Just made my picks for both pots. Different odds isn't a problem it is opportunity, use it to your advantage. Best thing for player to find is odds discrepancy to current state, always a way to profit from that even in a pool like this.
Yeah its alot of work to do unless its all automatically done by a sportsbetting site
Can you perhaps relay this idea to the higher ups though? a dedicated page created for the sole of this point betting is going to be pretty interesting. As of now we have tons of betting pool sponsored by various website around here but your idea with the point betting is pretty interesting but the only downside of it is that its done on a google doc. So imagine if Rollbit or another site created a dedicated page for this, its going to great
or another idea is to simply just ask Rollbit to give a bonus balance like $10 or something, that we cant withdraw but it should be only used for the weekly betting so whoever has the highest balance at the end of tournament would win or something along this idea

@trofo - our side bet still active for this round?
Of course, 50$ paid in BTC. Wouldn't dream of letting my team miss the opportunity to put some fear in your bones before meeting officially next season.
I'll join the Cup as well. Will be a nice opportunity to increase the transfer budget. BTW count me in friendly final  I wrote all my answers already, without delay, feel like everything is a trick question now at season end Where to pay?It's best if the losers simply contact the winner directly. We consider whoever submits as participating, failure to pay leads to 2 red tags from DT1/DT2 members so I'm sure it will be settled. We will do it as simple and transparent for the cup as possible. Meaning after we grade all the entries and proclaim a winner, he will post his BTC addy here in the topic publicly. Every participant than has 48hours to pay up and I would appreciate it if the payment comes much faster than that. 1 mBTC really isn't a lot and most of you will get sig money before the deadline so place it aside |

I think that Trofo and cryptofrka said they won't be increasing the number of teams in Division 1 and 2 in the next season. I can't find the post where they wrote it, but I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.
AFAIK this season is increasing to 16 participants not sure is that a final number (pulling from memory 20 as final number, but really not sure where did I see that one, and it was certainly before two league at Division 3) I like it with more participants better than two-match system, but there should not be more than 20, it would take familiarity from it, now I basically know all participants, and in case there is 30 in Div1 would be harder to know all 20 was our ideal number when we were starting the project and something we planned to reach with gradual growth each season. It was modelled on major real life league like Premier League. Now we think 16 is the sweet spot and we will probably keep it at that. Shorter season makes for more interactive experience and it is just about the right league size. |

have to say that I enjoyed a free week, was thinking to get some friendly next week, but players wasn't even answer team phone, so we will be vacant at least one more week, waiting for new season
Ah damn... I was looking forward for another friendly next week with a small sidebet. I won't leave my players to rest because they have failed me in the last three rounds of the season. If you change your mind (or anyone else), let me know. We have friendly cup this week, rules are as follows: * 1 mBTC entry * winner gets all * it is called cup, but it is actually just 10 questions that will be posted tonight. It will be simple H2H between all of us who join, with penalty to make sure we have winner * to join just fill the questions and choose friendly cup from dropdown if you are senior member or higher rank.

@igebotz you and me have another side friendly for 50$ paid in BTC, feel free to forget to give answers, you will not get a reminder |

Yep, Rashford will be transferred out from my team too. These points you can get from a 5.5 midfielder.
Yesterday's disallowed LFC goal (that is clearly onside) cost me 11 points, I'll probably lose the freebet because of it.
Shame for Salah - when Haaland does nothing Salah has to perform for me - but yesterday's game was such a shitshow.
Same for me. The combo of Rashford and B. Fernandes costs me points every GW. Very disappointed so far - but as usual it will change as soon as I transferred em!  This GW is a disaster for me. Went down from 2nd place to 10th right now. United is really bad this season but we all know if United starts to play that will mean plenty of points for both Rashford & Fernandes and that is the reason they are so expansive. I had the same feeling that they will start scoring as soon as I ditch them but it did not happen this week. I removed them for Son and Diaby and so far so good. Long term, who knows. Don't like that Diaby went out limping in that last game. In the same game Gordon got fifth yellow so I could be a bit short on qoulity options next week. |

EDIT: Shit, did I just beat Trofo? Bayern and Leipzig ended 2-2 with four goal scorers like I answered. So it's 4-2 for me with no chances for Trofo to get more points.
Yeah, yeah you won. Give me your BTC addy and piss off Start to think maybe it was bad idea to play next week against igebotz and even worse one to give an idea for the cup. But there is no going back now, let's end the season in style and loose some money. At least I am able to cover it with tickets on Sportsbet.  Last minute own goal from Liverpool came in hand for sure. @slackovic hurry up before I gamble it all away |

So fucking dumb man, game was "updating" this morning so couldn't make changes, sigh.
You were late than. Deadline is always 90 minutes before first game, that way you don't have official line ups. Then when deadline passes game goes into update mode. I was on wildcard making changes until last minute today so it worked 100%.
Enormous haul for Watkins. I was thinking about second striker spot between Watkins, Alvarez and Darwin. I actually liked Alvarez least but stayed with him because I bought him at the beginning and have a lot of money invested in him. At least I did not go for Darwin.
Some of you were talking about minus points for Estupinan so here it is: 1 point for starting -1 point for 3 goals conceded -2 points for 2 goals Total: -2 points Anyway defenders and goal keepers loose a point for every two goals conceded so if he continued to play he would have got one more point for 60+ minutes and lost two more for goals and would have ended on -3. Not a big difference. |

pretty sure Trofo is on BTTS market here, and I was on over goals (2.5), with 3.5 option still not reached, but expect it to be until the end
pick was for a draw, still not out of reach either, and seems realistic on the pitch, looking at playing style I wanted to be, but odds were 1.38 on Sportsbet and nowhere else higher than 1.4. Those are way too low odds for both to score market. I never play it under 1.5 and I prefer it on a games where I can get 1.7-1.8. Already wrote about it somewhere, it is almost same difficulty for me to get it correct no matter the odds so makes sense to pick only those that pay good enough.
Was looking quite bad in this round before Leipzig-Bayern correct score, really proud of that one and I was quite sure it will be a draw but couldn't decide between 1:1 and 2:2. |
