I guess KTChampions was watching this pool more closely than anyone else haha. First place is indeed yours, well done! Everyone else, theoretically hahay and up still has a mathematical chance, including me haha.

Good luck to all!


I was told I was worrying for nothing and I hope that proves to be right. But I still preferred to alert everyone in the pool to a possible scenario -- and gauge the feeling. I'm pleased no one will be upset if we're forced to wait a bit more. In the end, it only makes a difference to prize winners, and maybe it's a small percentage less (currently around 3-4% less of prize amount) if we pay high fees, but still -- good to at least consider scenarios, however unlikely.

Quite happy to see I'll be the only one winning money from mitch but I made a huge save on myself tonight by not betting on any result... I would have gone for under 1.5 first half, or even Milan, but we're not even 15 minutes in and I think this tie is over.

Who imagines Mkhitaryan scoring in semifinal UCL heh.


I cannot support this enough. The keeper, even if small, covers so much of the goal in futsal that leaving it open is like giving away a penalty kick without keeper moving.

Despite learning this lesson several times, our team kept doing that to chase draws, and ended up under a minute giving away free goal.

NOT go the Full Distance 6

In the very very short term, perhaps, but I think it's minuscule. Aim of difficulty is to get block times to the average time, that's all. And if it's lowering, it's because it was taking a bit above the average in the last 2 weeks. In fact, judging from most recent adjustment, barely a couple percent.

With luck and variance, more blocks in this period would only mean higher difficulty in the next anyway...

Actually I fully intended to put my answers in and then... forgot. Looks like you actually got a point right, and Cro2 rep got 2/2. All semifinalists are tied at 0-0 haha.

My players have nothing to fight for this season except higher prizes, so I let them holiday in Saudi to watch Ronaldo have another bad day... I even gave my coaching staff time off to place losing bets.

Hey, hey, I was the only one who got a point from Everton, even as a lover of upsets, even if I believe Everton can score 5 goals, I can't believe Brighton could concede 2, let alone 5!

@casperBGD I'm so pleased for you, and for Merseyside Blue (as Winning Eleven used to call them). Wouldn't it be so awesome for them to beat City next?

It's Real Madrid time tonight, actually, and it just happens to be against City, so it's not that I'm counting on City to lose here, just counting on Real's magnificence on this particular stage. Benzema and Vini should be well rested, too, while Pep is going to fiddle around a bit, guaranteed.

So let's use up a bit of our profit cushion here, since it's almost season end:

300 units on Real Madrid to WIN vs City @3.50. Other odds: 3.32.
Units advantage: +54

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm in touch with Betnomi to see what can be arranged. It's unlikely we consider any other replacement payment -- I hold all the BTC, paying you guys with another source of funds puts them at risk.

I hope all this worry proves to be temporary but I'd rather go through the discussion now so no one is surprised after 10th June!

Back on UCL topic, 35/10 Real Madrid, of course I'm taking that all the way. City treble is hard for me to swallow.


That site has been outdated for years haha. There are much better estimates out there but I usually just undercut the estimate from Electrum's own. Blockchair.com is also the easiest to look at (for an estimate).

Believe me, $6 is not going to get you anywhere. 275k txs waiting as of now, but at least the estimate is 300 sat/byte right now. Cro2 made an almost 190/sat byte payment on Sunday ($25) and it just confirmed 40 blocks ago =)

Not the first time we've seen betting markets on forum events, I think I remember having luck in the World Cup one betting on one of our familiars, this time I'm putting my money on Mitchr4, though I can see why a lot are rooting on Pulsar77!

Here's my 10 crypto dollars


And don't forget to follow the BSFL thread if you aren't already. I survived this first season (mathematically safe) but we're going to get some really good people promoted next one!

Man, notblox1, what about that end to the season, huh? Milwall hearts broken, Rovers ensured mutual destruction by coming back from behind. Coventry could have lost anyway, and still made it.

Luton Town probably the outsider in the playoffs... the only name I can't recognise as having ever been in the Premier League. Would be pretty cool to see them back, and it will be the most unfamiliar Prem lineup I can remember in ages... Brentford, Burnley, Leeds, Sheffield, maybe still Nott Forest?

I am okay to hold payments too. I see no point in wasting fees now, particularly when we also will not spend any of it in this condition. I trust the campaign managers and owners, no issue. Would a credit to Livecasino account work for some people who might want to gamble it all anyway haha?

@Trofo am certainly on the lookout... It could be those were paid accelerators... Made when fees were half of the rate today. Also, could be CPFP payments, will need to look into them myself too.

We may all have to deal with this pain longer than we think... Am seeing text inscriptions listed for 2 btc. Is how crazy it is...

Hey tokes, looks like you just need Welbeck now to get a freebet

I also had Kane and Salah (easiest picks to make for those teams) but I went a tad bit smart with Jesus and Solanke, though to be fair, I'd have switch to safer picks like you Rashford and Kai Havertz, and still failed.

Pity we had a goalfest from Fulham/Leicester today even Maddison hit. But I'm only at 3/7 so no joy.

@Juggy777 see? You said goals would dry up and I said they'd just keep coming. Who in their right mind says Fulham score 5 huh?

Yeah, and just like that the 2-game cushions are gone, so now we have to fight back for the gap haha.

Reality check says we still will get Europa spot at best, and in a way, we'll probably just miss out Top 4 on a point or two, and that would be heartbreaking after such an effort.

Still, I watched United game with more excitement than I have any game in recent weeks. Thank you De Gea They probably should have lost 2-0 too, Lindelof no-VAR-review penalty =D

Tonight, rooting for Everton, but sort of need Brighton to be on a hot streak too cause we need them to beat Newcastle heh. They've got the toughest run in, but I wouldn't put it past them to navigate Newcastle, City and Arsenal!

^ Phew. Yeah. Thought it was all over really once Max started on 9th but I suppose you can't put away a good engine/driver combination for too long.

As expected (or as I did anyway), Leclerc didn't have staying power (or Ferrari doesn't I suppose) but he still made points. My last-minute decision to put Tsunoda back in 10th backfired, had I kept in Leclerc instead, probably at least another point to get 16.

Well done to the leaders, pays to pick the favourites most of the time, hm?

Hey guys, just a friendly reminder to add your BTC addresses into this spreadsheet (add it as a comment as shown in image below). Only KTChampions has added his address. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vrzw33PXrTcGv3wHLbMPnCbL8iauGsfeUzWfGmw7FmQ/edit#gid=0

Also, just to alert you, Bitcoin network is currently congested. Something I did not foresee. Currently, because there are many inputs and there will be 10-11 outputs in the prize payment, estimated fees as of today for next-block confirmation is 23 mbtc -- that's around $650 in fees!

Don't worry about it, of course, I will still ensure it is paid out. I might be forced to pay slightly lower fees to not hurt Betnomi/myself too much, but this might cause a delay. Everything will be clearer after the final on 10th June when points are finalised. Hopefully by then, things get better, though it's really hard to predict. When NFT fever first happened on Ethereum, congestion took months to clear.

I hope everyone can understand it's a situation that's suddenly appeared -- feel free to PM for clarification. In hindsight, I probably should have consolidated all our payments, but who knew Ordinals and BRC-20 would suddenly become hot in May?

Oh and @Distraction, don't be too discouraged. I was bottom in EPL for the longest time (still close to bottom actually) and that's supposed to be the league I'm most familiar with. Luck? Haha

As we all knew along, Marseille et cetera simply unavailable to take any opportunity thrown their way. Still picked Monaco on a ticket today so am somewhat bemused they won...

Leaders can probably afford to lose every game left and still win, so Troyes is almost a bet I can't ignore right?

Yeah, I thought betting against them was a good strategy but lately I think since their semifinal berths were secured, they found a way to win again, made the right picks but both far off from the results (3-2 was my prediction for both but went far away).

Atalanta-Juve a bit disappointing for me. Home team showered Old Lady with 16 attempts but couldn't score, and fell victim to Juve's traditional winning scoreline and even gifted them a last one from a counter. Any other outcome would have made my day but still plenty to watch.

Well done on the win! If I'd known the odds were that high, I'd have thought it a very fair value bet as well, the RB duo are competitive and we know they'll put the team first, but there's enough of a superiority now to guarantee some rivalry for wins.

@Spack17 yeah thanks for that explanation and calendar, what I don't like is official sources are so hard to navigate and so damned slow to update haha.

Check out the specials for Arsenal: https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/daily-specials/chtv/matches

They pretty much sum up every which way I'd take an Arsenal win (which is my main prediction). ML alone is value, 3/1 with a boost so I'd stick with that, really.

But the specials also look good, BTTS and 10 corners seems the safest, but I'll sit on my Gunners win.
