Edited: I propose to change the bet... the one who overtakes morvillz7z, he will receive 100 dollars from the one who could not do this.

If we both do this, then the winner is determined by the week you or I used the triple captain.



By the way, maybe we should introduce a prize for the triple captain?

Whoever has the most points using this chip will win a prize ... this will encourage participants to use this chip when it's really worth it.
I don't like relaying on the pure luck in my bets or awards. So here are my counter proposals.

1. We make a bet on 100$, winner is the one who finishes above morvillz7z. if we both finish above him noting happens and bet is voided and we make fun of morvillz7z. However if we both finish below him, we both pay 100$ to my or your Sportsbet account, we each choose a pair and morvillz7z chooses one as well. We place that 200$ on a ticket with joint pairs and divide winnings in 3 equal parts if we win, if we lose though luck for us and a reminder that we should do better in future  Grin

2. Instead of prize for triple captain, let's make it for highest points in any round. That should be one of double game weeks where somebody made superb use of either triple captain or bench boost. It is a little less dependent on luck and a bit more on good planning.

My offer stands for anybody, glad to see you are too chicken to take me on. That means I am already inside your head. And of course I would rather play you or buwa, free money is free money  Grin But I am for test against icopress or morvillz7z any time as well.
I am for .. if someone explains how it works. Should I be higher in the rating of the one with whom I argued?

Btw, there are already 19 (+ 3 who want to join but said that they would make a decision a little later). Guys, I recommend everyone to make a little effort and try to invite at least a couple of people. In this case, we will be guaranteed 0.1 btc (If there are 30 of us, the total prize pool will be 0.16 btc).
Real simple, wager is 50$ paid in BTC. You and me, winner is the one who finishes higher in our Fantasy league. Looser pays when league finishes.

I write all my bets as neutral trust as a reminder to honor them. Just qoute this to confirm and we are on.

Which players should we be looking out for in this pool  Grin

Me - I'll be paying up next week.  Wink

Sure you wanted to type Igebotz  Cool


So Trofo is Liverpool, no surprise he kept that from me for almost a year. Lol mum must be embarrassed by his pro-Klopp fan club. A 78-year-old VDJ will soon take over as captain.

@Icopress I'm willing to wager my wife that trofo would prefer play a side bet with buwatress or Hhampuz on this one than go head-to-head with you.  Grin

Last year I won the league cup with no prize attached to it. Any prize for the cup winner this season?
Where did you guys got an idea that I am Liverpool? I am not really supporting any club in PL but if I had to choose one it would be Arsenal, all the way from Bergkamp days.

My offer stands for anybody, glad to see you are too chicken to take me on. That means I am already inside your head. And of course I would rather play you or buwa, free money is free money  Grin But I am for test against icopress or morvillz7z any time as well.

Trofo and cryptofrka still have a H2H duel in Round 8 (from Round 4) for 30$ freebet (Renato297 is out of this duel)
We are setting some records here for sure.



Anyway since my colleague is forgetful I have to tag you all here and add that those of you that are out of cup can post your answers but they are just for fun. There is no free bets in cup rounds so really nothing to play for. I know my team is going on mini training camp and getting rested.

Match 2 : chi20 vs hakan2217
Match 3 : Renato297 vs Rikafip

Ja ću sada lupiti totalno neprovjerenu tezu koja se meni čini kao najvjerojatnija. Vidio sam prije dosta vremena neke rezultate koje mi je pokazao frend koji je bio unutra i nagovarao me da se i ja priključim. Meni su ti rezultati bez puno gledanja izgledali umjetni, tj. presavršeni s obzirom na moje iskustvo trejdanja. Nije bio bull run a bio je isti prinos od neki 15-17% svaki mjesec. Meni je to bio crveni alarm i ja sam ih tu prekrižio. Da je prinos bio u minusu koji mjesec izgledalo bi mi puno bolje.

Tako da ja mislim da iako su možda krenuli s dobrim namjerama da se to brzo okrenulo i da su počeli frizirati rezultate, a onda to postaje obična ponzi prevara sa sve većom razlikom između prijavljenog i stvarnog stanja. I tako je trajalo dok nije došlo do točke pucanja.

Here are the usual tables, free bet winners will be made public after DOTA finishes, we had luck that we could have graded even duels this early Smiley
Questions for the cup round 1 will be live later today.

4 VARs have been used by: Ozymandias_DZ, slaman29, Vivekdhyani1, goodpunt
2 players have -1 penalty point: DireWolfM14 and bullrun2020bro

This makes it 2 times that DireWolfM14 did not submit answers, one more and he is kicked out of the competion as per rules in OP.

You're out of our league, man; betting with you is like giving you free money. You're far too skilled at this. You should face off against Icopress or morvillz7z; they are fantasy rivals, not relegation teams (Buwatress and Harkorede).
Trofo is probably already regretting that he taught me everything he knows.  Cheesy
Maybe Trofo still has some tricks in his sleeve Smiley

Last season I was encumbered with writing content for Sportsbet, this season I can think only about my squad. Hope that I will have a better season this time around since too much research ended hurting me in some cases while it helped in others.
1670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🦁 Fantasy Premier League ' Football Pool ⚽ Prize Fund (0.1 btc) on: July 30, 2023, 10:50:19 AM
I can go $50 with on the EPL pool.
So 50$ (paid in BTC), winner is whoever finishes higher in hilarious Premier League pool? Just quote once more and you are on. I don't think i ever took you in H2H battle. Time to put you in your place  Grin

I used to have several bets like this every season and then none last season. Looking to get back on track. If somebody else wants to challenge me, just say so.

I have no choice than to root for Talon E-sports to eliminate Team Liquid now, such a glimmer of hope to hold on to  Angry
Hope for long maps then. Talon are late game specialists and if they get to 50+ minutes their chances rapidly raise against any opponent Smiley
If somebody is looking for a bet, my play is over 2.5 maps in this one. That being said I had a horrible tournament so far and only yesterday managed a good day and return to the green.
1673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🦁 Fantasy Premier League ' Football Pool ⚽ Prize Fund (0.1 btc) on: July 30, 2023, 07:30:33 AM
Two things;

1. @Igebotz how about a $50 in BTC or USDT side bet for whoever finishes top between myself and you ? I'd have said 2mBTC a usual, but I'd rather not have to be paying you $10k because I'm expecting a skyrocketed BTC price of nothing less than $200,000 per BTC before the end of the premier league, so I'd rather have my stash to get a Lamborghini Aventador than pay it to a Drunken Fella.


2.@Icopress and Trofo, I might have 2-6 people who might want to join the pool, that's if this isn't Bitcointalk exclusive pool. I can tell them about it, but they're aren't a member of this forum, I don't know if they'll be willing to afford the fee though, but they're Football and FPL fanatics as well and they often pay around 20k in Naira (~25USD) to join our local FPL pools, and I can have @Igebotz or another highly ranked Nigeria member on here verify them via a Zoom, Facetime or WhatsApp and what have you to prove their identity or even better still if Igebotz is in my region/state, I could set up meet and greet, with the beers solely on me  Wink Wink
1. Hey guys I am offended nobody wants to have a bit of side action with me. I am up for some side bets as well if there are any takers. We can also make mini leagues if there is let's say 3 or 4 of us.

2. I will let icopress decide on this one. At the same time I would love more members in our pool but I am also liking it more if it is just between guys on our forum. That way we have much better banter here. It is boring when you are playing against guys you don't know. Again that is a bit hypocritical of me since I already called guys from Sportsbet chat (only those that were regular to my promos during last season) to join the pool but most of them (maybe all) at least have bitcointalk account and they are already playing BSFL.
Are they at all interested in crypto or making account on bitcointalk?
I don't think you need to go to such lengths to prove they are real people. By all means make a great and meat if you guys like to hang out but I don't really believe anybody would pay 2mBTC for multiple accounts in fantasy. There is enough work managing just one account.
1674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🦁 Fantasy Premier League ' Football Pool ⚽ Prize Fund (0.1 btc) on: July 29, 2023, 01:19:20 PM
We are happy to announce we have an additional sponsor for this season as well. Sportsbet.io will be our official betting partner and they will award 1mBTC free bet for every game week winner.

Should be a cracking season, let's get to that 30 people and full sponsorship money.

My Dota prediction is almost dead now that BetBoom lost against Gaimin Gladiators. I need the other teams to step up and stop them before they get to the finals.  Tongue

The other WC question at least gave me the point that I needed to secure the draw, and it all comes down to Gaimin Gladiators if i'll be getting a win or draw for this round.


My Dota prediction has gone down the hill as well too, my only way out now is if Team Spirit can help me drop liquid to lower bracket and then Gamin Gladiators get to exact their revenge on Team Liquid, asides that it's definitely going to be a draw for me this week again, after being in a good position to get 3 points.

If that's the case the club owners might need to path ways with the current team manager, and probably hire Jeremypwr or Buwaytress as its new head coach by buying them out of their current contracts.
I was hoping to get my win before we come to the sports I know nothing about but no such luck. It will all depend on boxing/MMA. I have some faith in my answers since a lot of people went with same but still the feeling is not good. I need a draw from those 2 questions, either we both get a point or nobody gets a point would be perfect. Travelling home from holidays today so I will probably be less present on the forum, unless there is some traffic jams or other unexpected circumstances.

Back on the topic here, when is the deadline for the entry fee ?, because I'm not paying much attention to other league resumptions and all, except for EPL and it's literally due to Fantasy Premier League, I'm more of a tennis addict now, who could have imagined right ? usually my summer are always E-sport betting oriented, it's been completely different this year around, thanks to the CRO2 team  Roll Eyes
Deadline is as usual, just before the league starts. For Serie A that should be Sunday August 20 if my first google hit is correct. Usually Serie A starts a week later than PL or La Liga.

Also, how are things going with the signups? I've counted about 9 or 10 paid entries, which isn't terrible considering we have 3 weeks until season starts, plenty of time to fill it up.
As I said in La Liga thread I am still on holiday and my sign up tracking isn't up to my usual standards Smiley When I get home I will actually go trough all transactions in escrow wallet and have the best possible picture. For now I have been taking some names in notepad but there is possibility I missed someone. Since you counted 9 people I guess somebody is missing. If you really want to know you can open escrow addy in blockchain explorer and count fees there. I am not doing it that way since I want to name them in my wallet.

I just have a question regarding the comment attached to my name tag on the sheet "Wear personal text." I have been putting personal text on my profile since the first week that it was requested. I don't know why I still have that there.

I have the same question. I wear personal text and I haven't removed it not only for a moment since I`ve become a participant in this campaign.
Read the comments above you guys, Royse already responded to another user just few posts above yours.

Sorry about the way I am using qoute, on mobile now and it is real pain to properly quote everything. Following is from Royse and you can find it with a bit of scrolling, not that hard   Grin

Don't worry if the comment is still exists even after you updated that was asked. It's just, I did not find time to update the sheet. I will do once they are in my schedule. All good :-D

But the teams I picked will meet in the semi-finals. This means I will only get one point, so if GG manages to reach the finals, we might draw.

Well this is a bit incorrect, you are guaranteed to get atleast 1 point from this. If either Liquid or Team Spirit lose on their next game, they will be going to the lower bracket so there is still chances for the team to get to the grand final through lower bracket . Well kinda unexpected to actually know someone will pick Team Spirit though

Man I hate this upper and lower bracket system in DOTA. It's hard (maybe even impossible) to predict who will face who in the quarter or semi final games. It's much easier in football where you have two sides of a draw and no team can change sides and meet before the final. Maybe I'm just not used to this system and that's the reason why it's so hard for me to predict. I usually just rely on luck with DOTA questions...
That upper and lower bracket system is the best "knockout" system I have ever seen. If you ask me I would like to see it implemented in all sports. It gives best teams after the group stage one extra life to survive in tournament.

Just remember how many times it happened to Croatia to be best in the group or best in two groups and then to drop out in first game where there is no allowance to slip up in sports like water polo and Handball. While teams that slipped up before passed on. This way that group perfection gets awarded with upper bracket and one slip up is never enough to get you eliminated. This system rewards quality a bit more than chance and that is why GG is such a good pick in DOTA, they finish the tournaments strong even though they look mediocre in early stages.

Lower number of players actually means lower competition, but I like it when it's crowded in here.

I marketed it a bit in our BSFL thread, will do so again before the season begins.

I'm sure we'll get last year's numbers and am always happy when we pay the entrance fees in bear markets Grin

My perfect number for pools is around 20 people. Big enough to have proper rivalry and conversations while small enough to make it a bit easier to finish in the top positions.

That being said, I believe we should have last year numbers again. Old players are mostly staying while we always get some new blood.


Watching those friendly games in USA and Arsenal is looking dangerous, Chelsea also looking much better than last season. We all know City is gonna be good now we just have to see what happens with Liverpool and United. Could be a cracking season.
