All members of this pool are free to enter so go check the prizes and fill out the form with first set of questions. No need to sign up, just give us your bitcointalk username in the form and you are in. Any questions can go in our usual BSFL discussion thread. Please don't ask them here

A baš se mogao i nama javiti onda Znam da ja bi da se ne brinete za moju malenkost dok se ja odmaram na Maldivima ili već negdje

Kolega s posla mi je upravo zbrisao u Zanzibar, kaže da je prilično zeznuto doći do nekakvog interneta ili signala koji možeš iskoristiti a da ne platiš malo bogastvo. Ali možda laže da ga ne bi mogli kontaktirati 

It will be same as will betting, it all comes out to the decision when to pull the trigger on upset. They are paying that well because they are just that, upsets. They will not come that often but once you get it you get big and it gives you some more margin to miss.

When you play on favorites it is the other way around, easier to get winning ticket but you need several wins to cover even one loss.

I had no idea about Messi not playing when I was making the question but I was expecting managed minutes due to him playing every few days for quite a long time and he isn't exactly strongest runner out there. Then I read on twitter on Tuesday morning that he will get rested and that was enough to secure my pick.

Really expected more from the first few questions. I knew Sweden wasn't winning and I hoped to get advantage there but in the end they were not even close to split points.

So I guess the time has come to share some free bet wins here. I am usually loosing them since I always play x5 multi tickets with free bets. I am proud of this one though 4/4 snooker picks from China Master and Japan to round it off.

Spreadsheet is now unlocked and I have to congratulate all of you. I think this is first time we did not have a single late entry. Saint-loup managed to do it 35 seconds to spare

We have decided to put up separate thread for our Newcatle promo to keep it more visible. All discussions about it can go here but we will use that one to post questions and keep track of the competition. here is the link, so you can "watch" the thread. First round of questions will go live there tomorrow. Plenty of time to answer these ones.

    
BFSL's Newcastle CL Promo

Hey guys as already mentioned in our BSFL thread here is Cro2 with new promo this time covering Newcastle Champions League Run. Most of this text is copy/pasted from this post. No need to check it again, I will mention all the important stuff here once again.

This thread will be used mainly to showcase the competition since our main BSFL thread is already quite cluttered with all the info. We will still use main BSFL thread for all discussions regarding this promo but it will be easier to have dedicated thread for the links, tables, reminders... Whatever we need and feel like it could create confusion in main BSFL thread.

The rules:
The competition will last for as long Newcastle is in the Champions League.
Initially the plan is to have 7 rounds - 1 round before the group stages and 1 round for every game in the group.
If Newcastle progresses from the group, we'll have 1 round before the knockouts and then 1 round per every following game again.
The questions will be only about Newcastle's CL games, 5 questions per round, the system will not be H2H but most points collected across all rounds.
The player(s) with the most points at the moment Newcastle's European challenge ends will be pronounced as winners.
There will be no Divisions, every player participates equally.
The side-competition is for current and future BSFL players - the ones that apply for the new BSFL season before the first CL game starts. We will also accept you if you are participant of any Sportsbet sponsored pool this season.

Prizes:
1. 2mBTC + 100$ freebet
2. 1mBTC + 50$ freebet
3. 0.5mBTC + 40$ freebet
4-10. 30$ freebet
11-15 - 20$ freebet
16-20 - 10$ freebet

Format:
You will submit the answers in the same way as you do for the BSFL.
It will be a separate form, and it will be measured in a separate spreadsheet.
It is easier to handle it like that - because the competition will span across multiple weeks.
The deadline for submission will be 2h before every game and you'll be in charge of checking the deadlines yourselves.

Small print:
Some rules might still be tweaked a bit before the start of the CL promo. If that happens, we'll let you know.

How to join:
Just answer the questions in our form and you are in automatically provided you are allowed to participate. Check the rules. Form with first bunch of questions will be live tomorrow. They are not time dependent and we would appreciate if you fill it up as soon as possible so we can judge number of participants more correctly.

I would say because my colleague was in a hurry and forgot that Div 3 is over and just used same list we used every round. Not at home so I can't check everything properly but if my memory is correct you don't have a game and we don't have any free bet duels passed from before so you should be fine not sending answers.

You can still send them just for fun and to be 100% sure if you like.

Ja sam primjetio da ga nema puno ali sam to pripisao godišnjem odmoru. Ono sistem post ili dva tjedno samo reda radi. Također nisam imao pojma da je baš tako dugo.

Nadam se da je sve ok, možda neki kolega iz Zagreba ima više informacija. Nema nas puno i svaki nestanak se osjeti a daniel91 mi ne djeluje kao netko ko bi svojevoljno nestao s forumu bez pozdrava.

Anybody transferred Son in yet? My unconfirmed sources tell me he is injured We should know more tonight when Korea is playing

Just shows how important it is to wait until last moment and max info. If I went for Son it would have mean -4 and now I would have injured player in my squad. Much better to just pay that price rise and do transfers last minute.

What do you mean no article this week? There is article every week  Sometimes it takes some time for it to be uploaded or I am a bit late but in general it will be up on Tuesday every week.

Here is the link if somebody has trouble finding it, don't know why but I couldn't find it on mobile as well:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/news/bitcointalk-sports-fanatics-league-round-11-recap

That would be an easy switch if Son was forward in the game. Unfortunately he is midfielder and there is so many good midfielders this season. I just can't get rid of any I already have even though my trust in United could cost me big. Rashford to Son looks nice but I wouldn't be surprised if Rashford outscores Son in next couple of games.

No way, I am not letting that white Southampton shirt without a fight. It is also about time for me to get some more merch from Sportsbet. Watford jersey is falling apart and I have to stop using it and I can't use Arsenal ones for every single match I play 

More importantly, international break is over and PL is back, I feel lost without it.

I don't like the mystery, I feel left out  Got used to being part of everything that happens in gambling sections of the furum I guess.

Excellent job on building suspense though. Looking forward to seeing what it is all about.

Division 3 is finished and there will be no more free bets awarded there. Just few previously postponed games to get trough. You can still play just for fun if that is something you like or you can send your players to deserved holiday and start preparing for Division 2 and matches against big boys next season.

You can also schedule a friendly match against somebody if you wish so. For instance I will play a friendly match against igebotz in cup slot and we will make a side bet on it.

Also our Newcastle promo starts this week so there will be other stuff to do as well. I will post a bit more info in separate topic tomorrow afternoon so check games & round section then.

In my pools I prefer to give out loans rather than allow for late payment. That way escrow address is always up to date and people will think twice before defaulting loan with reputable member. On the other hand deciding to not play can be justified in many ways and is difficult to red tag those persons while I would have no problem red tagging somebody who defaulted on loan.

If you decide to go that way I can probably help with few members if necessary.

We will finish last 2 rounds of the league and then procede with cup matches and relegation/promotion play offs.

Thankfully international break is over soon and we can get back to league football this week but there is still a couple of international football questions. Not much happening in sports this week apart from football and formula 1.
