Hey everyone,,, I spent whole 2 hours reading up and understanding more now about Pot B and I have to say I am a big big lover of this format and I think we should just move the whole system to this instead of Superbru. BSFL is like quiz with research, and this one is like pure gambling instinct,,, that makes a perfect combination worthy of bitcointalk forum gambling discussion In fact you should combine both next season ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Most other threads are just sports talk with no gambling, and bad quality 'news' sharing which is worthless. Oops, edit, I forgot different sponsors so not possible to combine BSFL/UCL ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I also love how buwaytress appoached this, I'm not a big fan of Superbru predictions. We should keep this and BSFL separate not just because of different sponsors but also due to the fact that they are entirely different in competition composition, but now we have the best of both worlds. I'm sure buwa's idea will grow - so we might end up doing something together. buwa is somebody Cro2 would gladly work with.

Submitted my picks for pot B already, there's a game I really like and I placed 6 chips on that one. Quite a risk, but I'm in a decent position and it's a game I feel will go my way.
I even think I'll take some money out of the piggy bank and place a big bet on it (10x my usual stake). I'll tell you the game and the reasoning when the submissions are done.

Kinda expected to see Cup Final market on Sportsbet, it would make following it more exciting, but maybe next time.
We're still trying, maybe we get them tomorrow. When the team is busy, these things drop down on their list of priorities - which is kinda understandable. 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.
Maybe next time, this time let's go all in. With all the participation promises, only 1 player submitted so far ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) It is also kinda fun not knowing how many people will play and how big the reward will be until the last second.

I'll join the Cup as well. Will be a nice opportunity to increase the transfer budget. BTW count me in friendly final ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) 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. Failure to pay naturally makes the user ineligible from Season 3 of BSFL. Even if that happens, we'll still take it out of the user's season 2 BSFL winnings. There's also a limitation for lower ranked members in place: * to join just fill the questions and choose friendly cup from dropdown if you are senior member or higher rank. For lower ranks contact me on PM and I will act as escrow

Oh come on, I'm dead last for like 5 weeks straight. Whatever I do, I simply can't move up the ladder.
I'm doing ok in other pools (middle in Serie A, top 20% in CL and PL), so this one really bothers me. I hate being last on the table. I have only 3 correct scores in 8 rounds of games, so in 80 games I guess? God damn, that's depressing.

We forgot to mention, the escrow wallet has been topped up in the meantime. We generally do monthly top-ups, you can always track it from the OP. We didn't have a single uncovered week so far. Thanks of course to the Livecasino team for that ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

match is actually on Wednesday, does that change anything, or deadline is on Tuesday as usual for BSFL
Corrected in both places, thanks man ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Always 2 hours before the game for Newcastle promo, my colleague got sidetracked there ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Crazy Div 1 promotion celebration is currently taking place. Can barely work from all the fireworks.

We have a new round of questions, this time for Newcastle's game vs PSG. The questions can be found here!The deadline is Wednesday October 4rd, 2h before the start of the game. I'm horrible with time, so calculate it yourselves ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Cryptofka, congratulations. (You didn't accept my invitation to a friendly game; it's good not to have balls.)
I missed that invite, where was it? I had a sidebet with notblox1 in this round but would have gladly accepted a challenge as well. Now I'm not so sure anymore. The stature of my club grew significantly in the last few days and I don't want to force my players to play lower division sides. Show me the invite and I'll discuss it with the board but I suggest that you join the Friendly Cup, I think that my team will participate there this week.
|
|

Holy shit, team notblox1. That penalty of yours flew out of the stadium. What the hell was your star man trying to do? Maybe the mafia gave him an offer he can't refuse? Anyway - enjoy Div2 with Trofo while I dance with the big boys ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

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.

Mafia? Maybe we control some minor things, but all English FA is in your pocket. If that Liverpool's clearly onside goal for 2-1 stood, you would already be packing your bags. Without your briberies, you're nothing more than a mid-table Division 3 team.
_____________________________
cryptofrka's team will also clearly challenge the question number 4. 4. Barcelona is playing against Sevilla on Friday. Barca has started the season impressively and has 6 wins in last 6 games against Sevilla. Outcome should not be in question but will Sevilla manage to score a goal?
Sevilla did score a goal, in their own net, so team cryptofrka feels disgusted by cheating from the corrupt system.

Not only that, I have Chiesa to score or assist, you dont, and my first yellow card is at 50' minute, your answer is at 62' minute.
Nope, that's irrelevant. The penalties are 5 each, we continue if it's a draw. Considering we have only 1 different answer in the 1st five, we will have a winner before the Chiesa part. The decider is only the number of goals. Small remark for today matches, I don't think it is fair to rate everyone with same incorrect answer for under 3.5 goals in Tottenham vs Liverpool match. How can we have same incorrect answers if we answered under, with someone who answered over 3.5 goals? It is little conflicting as question had two parts, total number of goals, and goals-assists from Salah and Son. Son scored one goal today.
You had to get both parts correct to get a point. The winning option was under/under, and not everyone has it incorrect - Slissy got it right.

By the way are you going to wait for the cup to be completed as well for the distribution of the prizes? If you distribute them on weekdays I feel like I will lose all my money in the Champions League. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Yup, we'll send all in 1 tx. We have some early unofficial results! The winners of the Division 3 A and B playoffs are bullrun2020bro and Ozymandias_DZ!bullrun2020bro – entebah 6-2 Ozymandias_DZ – vivekdkhyani 5-2 The Cup finalists are bullrun2020bro and LFC_Bitcoin!bullrun2020bro - MAAManda 7-5 LFC_Bitcoin - mv1986 3-0 (mv1986 did not submit) Freebet duels:Slissy - 40$ freebet winner vs mitchr4 and jeremypwr Strongkored - 30$ freebet winner against mv1986 who did not submit at all Friendlies: Trofo - slackovic (2mBTC) 2-5 Harkorede - buwaytress (1mBTC) 6-4 _______________________________________________ The only duel still remaining is the huge one, between cryptofrka and notblox1. We play for the Div1 qualification, 2mbtc sidebet and 30$ freebet. High stakes, all comes down to the 4th penalty - Juventus under (myself) or over (notblox1) 1,5 goals.

@Cro2 team, It would not hurt to have a couple of the competition's record breaking feet right ? I mean details largest win, most consecutive number game won, longest unbeaten run, and just one more for the wooden spoon equivalent, for longest run without a win ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Trofo's kinda covering interesting things in his articles. Some are mentioned, some not - for a concrete season recap we'd have to have some time on our hands and when the season finishes we're usually the most busy - by preparing for another one. ________________________________________ Saints bring me to 3-3, I feel I have the edge on both remaining questions. Let's see where we end up in a few hours. If we reach the penalties, our only differentiator is total number of Juve's goals.

It's a good thing that Estupinan was replaced at half-time ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) How many negative points do you even get for conceding 6 goals? Watkins with 3 goals and 2 assists, fantastic start for all of us that have him in our teams.

Did you see Jota's backheel goal @LFC_Bitcoin? We may only be the league's second top scoring team but our goals are pretty (if only those counted for something).
Szoboszlai's one was my favorite. That guy is a machine, I'm so thrilled we got him. He's everything you need from a modern football's centre mid and he clicked with the team instantly. You can see how often do they look for him, even in crowded areas. He'll improve our offensive game immensely. I don't know where this is from, a friend sent it to me - I do feel it's correct though: Liverpool's new midfielders Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch & Endō have 6 goal contributions between them in September. That’s as many as Henderson, Milner, Fabinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Keïta achieved for the whole of last season.

Damn you, Swiatek! Never trust women.
A bad one to go behind with - but there are plenty of different answers still to catch up. If Barcelona doesn't concede today though, it will not look good for me.

Man you think Superbru is hard, and to be fair putting stakes can even be faster than 10 seconds but you're thinking of how cryptofrka and vd are gonna play and you want to outdo them, or just play catchup, it's really tough.
I hate myself for what I'm thinking to do, but if news doesn't change much I'm going to just close eyes and throw all my dice on away teams.
I'm going all in on Galata. Easy peasy.

Tough game for us away at Spurs on Saturday, I think we’ll see how serious Klopp 2.0 can be taken this season as title contenders in the next 2 weeks.
We have back to back away games against Spurs and then Brighton. If we can come out of those games with 4 points or more then we are back.
Spurs are kinda vulnerable - they play quite open. I feel good about this game, we're the better team and will probably have control in midfield. We were really impressive in the Cup yesterday - I think we're in a good period. I just hope Trent is back, there will be a lot of space behind Tottenham's defence to exploit.
