Chelsea have spent over Ł1,000,000,000 in 18 months. I’ve never seen anything like it, just a ridiculous way to run a football club. They’ve had about 4 managers in that time too, the last thing they need to do is start spending more money.
The best thing about it? Name 3 stars in their team. There are none, they have 30 or so players of the same quality with high potential, but when managing a team of 30 players you will destroy most of that potential by having to rotate them. After a billion dollars spent, their most valuable players are Nkunku, Enzo and Caicedo. Most of these players also have long-term contracts, which will make them cozy and relaxed. Simply a horrible way to spend so much money. Agree with everything you said there, bro. The long contracts are going to come back & bite them in the ass for sure. Imagine having a perma injured or really poorly performing player(s) on massive wages for 8-9 years. They will never leave and will sit on the bench or in the stands earning massive money. What is worse is I knew several Chelsea supporters that are happy with that business model and even praised Boehly for finding the loophole in FFP. Loophole meaning a known fact that you amortise cost of the player trough all the years of his contract. Meaning he looks much cheaper in this year's balance if you sign a player on nine year contract than on three year contract. I don't see any way this does not end up poorly for Chelsea in long run. |

Prizes looks good, and currently we have 52 BSFL players huh so probably average of 60 if there are some future registered BSFL player so basically 1/3 of the field is going to get something out of this side competition huh. I thought we are getting some sort of freebies like jersey for the top 3 instead of freebets but I guess this will do  We are not giving away Newcastle kits for this promo because Sportsbet still did not receive them and there isn't a firm date about that as far as we know. But I am sure there will be some promos with Newcastle kits once they become available.
Your side bet challenge accepted!
Great, we will iron out the details when the time comes. Only fair you see the questions before we agree on amount and stuff like that since I am writing them  Maybe I can also use it as excuse to make cryptofrka write them that week  |

I'm not reading - the only time I appeared in any of your articles was when I was torn down by a div 3 team in a cup quarter final match; you said nothing about my club prior to cup elimination. I can't wait for you to get promoted to Division 1. You need to learn a lesson. Fair enough but not really my fault. I run the polls with target audience and your club just doesn't have that galacticos feel like buwaytress, cls or jeremypwr. In other words nobody else likes to read about you  As per current results and form I think it is more likely you drop to Div 2 then me promoting to Div 1 But we will need to arrange some kind of face off. How about friendly match when we have cup final on schedule. No stakes except small aide bet between us and lifelong bragging rights. |

Brilliant article Trofo! Do you write this directly on site or you submit to Sportsbet who enters it?
I didn't even realize you only got 1 point, in my mind somehow it was more like 4-3, but I think you got really unlucky or I got really lucky like with Spanish driver in F1, Arsenal winning, WTA wins, all these were not supposed to happen. At least when I picked, I was hoping for clear Arsenal win, not near the end collapse from United.
I write articles in word and submit them for publication on site. I started our duel with 1:0 lead and than got everything else wrong. I felt especially hard done on tennis questions. Could have so easy turned to my favor both in men and women draws. But that is luck for you, sometimes falls your way and sometimes against you. Hopefully this week will be better. |

@logfiles why Haaland no captain? A waste!
I actually thought he's going to blank more often because of the Kevin De Bruyne injury, but it looks like he is starting to do well with the Like of Foden. Not having him in my squad earlier on paid off only once (game week 2) Problem is having no Haaland sets you back so much each time he does well. He is in almost all the teams and he is permanently captained as well. That brings his effective ownership to almost 200%. Every other player you don't have at least does not have captain chip on him. Haaland ruins the game and makes it less fun, but I don't se anyway we can go without him and compete for top places. |

The way the promotion is set up, the league grows by default; by the start of season 4, we'll have 20 teams in DIV, and by season 5, we'll have 22 teams, which is more than an average league in Europe; if I'm not mistaken, we have four clubs promoted to Div 1 every season. With the way the league is set up, the two-legged game will not work, and we may end up playing 40 games per season. buwatress will burn out Nope, at some point we'll draw the line. 16 or 18 players per Division might be the soft spot, although 3 leagues of 20 players were what we were looking to achieve initially. We have 52 players now, so we're still 8 players short. Hope we get them for the next 2 seasons Whatever adjustments you have in mind, anything more than 20 per league will elevate us to championship level and diminish the level of competition. Another adjustment that the Cro2 might consider is the freebets duel - this sucks. If there is a freebets duel, the first to submit automatically wins; shifting it to the next round is something none of us like. This season, I've lost 2 or 3 freebets duel to the lucky bastard buwatress. I agree that it needs to change for the next season with freebet. The winner of the free bet should be decided at the same time as the round is finished. @Harkorede we only have 4 different answers so this round is more about a bit of luck i think😂 When I see my answers now, I'm quite unsure about them😂 I actually quite like the idea to settle free bet duels by early submission. It does get strange sometimes with the way it is set up now. Cryptofrka and me had a free bet duel going for months It has the added benefit of early submission which is something we would definitely like to see. We will take the idea into consideration for sure.
By the way guys, new article is up, enjoy: https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/news/bitcointalk-sports-fanatics-league-round-10-recap |

Pročitao sam cijeli članak i mogu samo reći da mi je žao tih ljudi koji su uložili. Lako je sad biti pametan i reći što su mislili kad im je obećavan ogromni prinos na uloženu svotu, ali svakome se može dogoditi da ga ponese ideja o nekakvoj budućnosti s hrpom milijuna na računu. Znam i sebe kako sam razmišljao kad sam uložio u Celsius. Srećom pa mi je bilo sumnjiv i njihov visoki APY koji su imali (ne sjećam se više koliko je bilo ali bilo je dosta) pa sam na vrijeme izašao. Na žalost, sumnjam da će itko od ulagača dobiti lovu natrag. Jedino čemu se mogu nadati je da će dvojac nekako ipak završiti u zatvoru zbog prijevare. Ja se uvijek vraćam na istu priču, tko god ima takve prinose laže ili ako slučajno ne laže onda mu ne treba tudji kapital. Nema ništa između. Ko bi se zaje... s ljudima ako okreće lovu samo tako. Meni je to isto ko i prodaja namještenih utakmica. Kao ja imam prelaz iz 2 u 1 svaki dan i šaljem ti to za 100EUR mjesečno. Daj molim te s koef preko 20 da je istina u mjesec dana bi zaradio dovoljno da mi ne padne na pamet širiti vjesti ili oglašavati. Cuvao bi za sebe i gotovo. |

It's about the winner of the WTA final. It may not be Swiatek and Sabalenka in the final, but How many sets do you think the winner of the WTA final will lose. for example Sabalenka wins 3-2 in the final then the correct answer is "2" because Sablaneka lost 2 sets.
Still misleading, it is about the winner whoever that ends up to be, but it is how many sets ahe will lose in whole tournament. Basically you have to predict winner, check how many sets she already lost and predict her path to final. Wicked question, especially now that Swiatek is out. It was asked in that way to cover just that possibility of favourite dropping out. And one more point, women play best of three, so every winner can lose only one set per match |

A ko bi bio sretan, ako se gleda po postu srezalo nas je skoro na pola. Ok meni nije tolika razlika jer sam ionako pisao preko kvote tako da mi ispada možda 130$ umjesto 150$ što nije neka razlika ali mi se ne sviđa šta se meriti toliko cijene, samo može doći do novog vala merit farminga. Ja krivim cryptofrku, čim je došao ubio nas je Mene zanima odakle sad ta pomama za korisnicima s puno merita? Meriti su uvedeni prije nekoliko godina i cijelo vrijeme se u signature kampanjama koriste samo kod prijava kao uvjet da je netko dobio XY merita u zadnjih 120 dana. Tko je sad odjednom pokrenuo tu ideju s većim plaćanjem ako netko ima jako puno merita? Kako smo već napisali, to apsolutno nije nikakav znak da je dobar poster. Meriti u 120 dana su isto glupost ali barem pokazuju trenutno stanje stvari. Ukupni meriti samo znače da je netko u nekom trenutku dobio hrpu a možda već godinu dana ništa. No šta je tu je, možda tema za merite kod nas opet oživi malo |

Figure out how to win?
Stay consistent until the end, don't give up.
this is the key, have an average 10 points per round, and you will be able to get prize spot, close to winning the pool but it is very hard, TBH, one/two lousy rounds, and you start to make some unexpected predictions to get back into solid position, which drags you down below it is better to stick with favorites, because pools does not encourage chasing surprises by their point system, but that is also not easy Don't organize pools is working best for me I am at the rock bottom of both my La Liga and Serie A pools. At the same time I am doing great in other pools: - Fantasy Premier League - 2nd - Premier League - 5th - Bundesliga - 1st Can't really explain it. Only league I am watching is Premier League and I definitively know most about it but I am watching much more of La Liga then Bundesliga for sure. |

Taman sam upao u pravo vrijeme Nemoj se prerano radovati, ako je suditi po prethodnim kampanjama koje su prezivele ovaj reset, svi star ucesnici su iskljuceni pa su isle prijave od pocetka.  Na zalost i ovo sam ti predvideo  Iskreno, ni ja nesto nisam srecan sa ovm downgrade kampanje, ali tako je kako je. Ispostavlja se da je whirlwind napravio pometnju i podigao vrednost mixer kampanjama. Kako su oni ispali, polako se vracamo na staro. A ko bi bio sretan, ako se gleda po postu srezalo nas je skoro na pola.

the 3rd matchday is now over and we can congratulate morvillz7z aka Hoody_Hoo for the matchday win. he was able to shoot up 14 places with 15 points and now occupies second place. congratulations also for winning a sportsbet.io free bet - i immediately forwarded your username Congrats morvillz7z on free bet, you snatched it right under my nose but I will settle with first position in our pool. Just shows how important consistency is in these types of pools. @cygan come on man, I deserved a sentence in report for raising 5 positions and taking that top spot Just kidding, wouldn't even know about it if you did not post the screenshots. |

The stripped white and black jersey for Manchester United don’t have that feeling like am watching a Manchester United game here, worst still, the Arsenal dominance is way high on the pitch.
It isn't black, it is dark green but looks quite like black on TV. Or maybe our mind interprets it like that, I was thinking I am watching Newcastle for first half an hour and getting surprised every time I see United player Ok, embellishing a little but it was weird experience.
@NotATether Congrats you are this GW winner, your free bet will be on Sportsbet account tomorrow afternoon, enjoy it That triple captain chip really paid off for you. |

About the highest overall yellow cap, I was expecting for every round winners 😉
Every round winner gets 1 mBTC free bet on Sportsbet account. That still remains the same and is not included in BTC reward distribution. What I wrote here is the state of money on escrow addy and what I will be paying out when pool finishes no matter what. Free bets will trickle along each game week directly from Sportsbet. I am not paying them by myself. |

I think there’s a very strong chance that we still end the year around $40,000. I think that a 4th quarter rally could kick off in October and send the market >50% higher before year’s end. This would mirror action that we saw in 2015, which I think may be a good indicator for where we are headed given the similarities in position in the 4-year cycle. Strong buy!
I am not that sure about the moment we will start going up but I agree with strong buy sentiment. I don't see us falling under 20k no matter what happens and bull run should be just around corner. To be fair I did not expect this last drop to 25k, I was expecting we will be getting closer to bull already but I don't mind few last shakes and a bit longer time frame to accumulate. Never enough BTC |

This pool is now officially closed for the season. We have 28 participants so I decided to pay out one more reward when compared to last season.
We have 42 mBTC from participants, 100 from Sportsbet sponsorship and 10 from buwaytress. That gives us 152 mBTC for rewards which will be split in following way:
Season 2023-20224 rewards structure:
1. Place - 60 mBTC (fees are paid from this prize)
2. Place - 35 mBTC
3. Place - 20 mBTC
4. Place - 15 mBTC
5. Place - 10 mBTC
6. Place - 6 mBTC
Highest overall yellow cap - 6 mBTC
That comes out to 152mBTC and fees will be paid from first place award.

Hey guys, pool is now officially closed so it is time to write up the rewards.
We have 23 participants which gives us 34,5 mBTC, we have 100mBTC from Sportsbet sponsorship and 10 mBTC from buwaytress.
That gives us a total pool of 144.5 mBTC for rewards. When compered to last season i decided to boost lower rewards a bit since few mBTC goes a long way there while it wouldn't be felt so much in top rewards.
Season 2023-20224 rewards structure:
1. Place - 60 mBTC (fees are paid from this prize)
2. Place - 35 mBTC
3. Place - 20 mBTC
4. Place - 13 mBTC
5. Place - 8 mBTC
Highest overall yellow cap - 8 mBTC
That comes to total of 144 mBTC, 0.5 is reserved for fees and anything reaming will be added to first place reward or taken from it in case it isn't enough.

My regret was not doing it earlier when you could easily get 9/1 with a price boost. Chelsea, United, for the time being, if you see 7/1 against them, take it. Depending on Liverpool, go against them too -- but judging from odds, bookies don't rate them too well.
Liverpool doing the job much easier than expected today but I sort of think this is more about Aston Villa. Still very small sample size but it seems to me that Villa will be excellent against smaller clubs and then loose big against stronger ones. They were nowhere against Newcastle in second half, they are really poor today and in between they destroyed weaker opposition. Could have been even better for LFC today if Nunez were just a bit more clinical, but he scored last week when it was important. Who cares about today |
