Bellingham's deal is done?

Huge move by Real, he will be one of the best midfielders in world football for the next 10+ years.

They now have 4 midfielders with huge potential (Bellingham, Tchouameni, Camavinga and Valverde) and are ready to start replacing their senior midfielders.
I'm glad that Modrić will be staying for another year - he deserves it. Not sure they will keep Kroos now, though.

Zverev vas a favorite against Ruud yesterday, the odds are now almost equal. Means that people are betting on Ruud - which makes sense IMO.

I went with Ruud immediately, and am really tempted to go with a 3-0 Alcaraz win.

Swiatek is a huge favorite in the final, but I do feel that a +6,5 handicap is a bit too much as well. Probably won't be betting on it though.

Sorry about this - the spreadsheet is getting big so it's harder to rate now.
I skipped a row and actually made a mistake on quite a few and when I corrected it I guess yours slipped through.

We already have a new way to handle it, so it will be easier for us in the future - leading to (hopefully) less mistakes like these.


Is it a big competition? For 'fringe' sports we'll put in questions only things equivalent to the football World Cup/olympics/Tennis finals etc.
Considering I'm Croatian and have barely heard about the guy, not really sure this is the right type of question

Challenge accepted!

All done, please note that some members whose opponents are yet to submit are still hidden from the spreadsheet. We'll decide what to do with that after today's BSFL chat on Sportsbet.
I won't be there (I have some construction works to do) but Trofo's got it covered.


I did, thanks!

You have been assigned points in column F (same for question 5). Based on these points I'll mark it with color a bit later.
I'm still waiting for my sleepy partner to post the schedules in normal text so I can C/P them to the spreadsheet because I'm too lazy to write it all from the images that we now have as placeholders there.

_______________________

Today Trofo's having his BSFL chat on Sportsbet, he'll tell you more about it.
Basically, considering that we have 4 people that did not submit their answers we might make some reworks in the 3rd Division - but we'll know more about that tomorrow.


Because we don't want him to succeed. We received some serious bribe money from Slissy.

Heheh, nope

It's Đoković - but is commonly written as Djokovic because most of the nations don't use these letters and don't even have them on their keyboards.
He's from a country bordering mine - we all use these letters so the above is 100% true.

___________________

Basketball question has been rated as well - recheck it to be 100% sure it's OK. Fantastic performance from Jokić - I just saw the highlights.
I went with under on both assists and the FG%, and I really wasn't far off. slaman29 went wih all unders, so even 2 overs will get me the point.

Tennis question has been rated - please recheck it both for yourself and your opponent and let us know if something's not OK.
There are over 50 players now and there's a possibility that some minor mistakes will be made in the H2H questions along the way. Always have a habit of rechecking for yourself.

There's still no schedule in the spreadsheet - I'll add it tomorrow.

__________________________

Some of you have written some names incorrectly - example Alvarez and Alzarez for Alcaraz, Djocovik for Đoković etc.
For now we have accepted all of it, although the Alcaraz ones are pretty different and won't be accepted in the future.

For this question it was clear what you meant though, but be careful with it going forward. We don't expect perfect spelling but it must be close to the player's surname.


This has been changed in the spreadsheet.

Alcaraz will destroy Đoković. I will go with the biggest possible handicap the bookies are willing to offer.

I'm continuing with my bets on outsiders, today I'm going with Etcheverry to win against Zverev.
I have Zverev in BSFL and I do believe he's the favorite, but a much smaller one than the odds show.

We have also written the approximate rewards in the OP.

We will recalculate and round them to make sense in BTC as soon as the money arrives to escrow wallet.

Sportsbet's given us a 6100$ budget and a much bigger freebets pool, so there will be an additional 2020$ in freebets shared throughout the season.
890$ in freebets will be given for final placement and 1130$ for weekly rewards.

This means that the weekly rewards have been increased and will amount to 40$ for Division 1, 30$ for Division 2 and 10$ for each Division 3 (A and B).

To add to that, we collected 35 mBTC from Division 1 entrants - which brings the total budget to around 7.000$ (+ 2k in freebets).

Thanks again to Sportsbet for making this happen, it's a really nice budget to have for Season 2.

Didn't want to jinx it, but seems all but complete now.

I really like MacAllister, I told Trofo about him even before the WC and that I can't understand why he wasn't starting.
As soon as he did, Argentina's game changed dramatically.

He's just the type of creative player our midfield needs and I'm quite thrilled he's coming to LFC.

He's not Bellingham, of course - but he'll be a good improvement to our team.

As you have already noticed, Coinslotty is going through a rebranding phase!

We have new signatures and avatars, we hope you like them.
Most of you are already wearing them, so thanks for that.

Rebranding is coming with some cool changes as well, but we'll let SirJohnVonSlotty tell you more about these

Tagging the ones that did not submit their answers yet.
I know, I know, we're all waiting for Đoković - Khachanov to end but still - this is the last warning from our side.

The deadline for submitting is 17:00 GMT, so just a bit over 2 hours to go.

Nah, not really. I think he's playing really good so far, but Alcaraz is playing better.
If I win the Khachanov bet, I'll place some of the winnings on Tsitsi - but I feel it's going to be one-sided.

The odds do have value though.

Super je da se ovo događa - Coinbase je prije toga već od SEC-a tražio jasne smjernice za kripto regulaciju koje nije dobio.
Tražili su to i sudskim putem.

SEC je nakon toga tražio od suda da odbije Coinbaseov zahtjev za pojašnjenjem, uz izliku da 'nemaju vremena'.

Love u mutnom i sve manje ih se doživljava ozbiljno, Coinbaseove dionice su listane na američkoj burzi i napasti njih nije isto kao napasti nekakav Binance USA.

You'll still get points for sets.

It is in a new spreadsheet, that's why it isn't linked yet - the initial sheet can't be hidden while it's the only one in the spreadsheet.

Budget has been confirmed/approved by Sportsbet, we'll post the calculations today in the evening or tomorrow

I'm doing really well on RG this season, so I have some budget available for crazy stuff
I'll go with Khachanov today, the odds are almost 8 and Đoković does look solid, but not nearly as good as he used to.

Khachanov can make this difficult for Novak and the odds make sense to give it a try.

On a more serious ticket I'll go with +6,5 on Tsitsipas vs Alcaraz.

So, the winners of the bonus rewards are:

1 – EarnOnVictor - 100 $
2 – Real-Duke - 70 $
3 – 348Judah - 30 $

The rewards will be paid out this Sunday (will be added to the regular campaign payments).


The table has been updated as well.

A really interesting day for betting today - other than Etcheverry nobody is a huge favorite.
I really like the odds on Ruud - Jarry is a player I don't rate at all (although he did beat Ruud this year on clay).

I'm going with -3,5 on Ruud and -6,5 on Etcheverry, odds of almost 4 with a boost.

I'll organize better for next year, for this season the white flag's already in the air
Appreciate the offer though, thanks!

Still 15 or so races to go though, I'll continue playing for fun of course.
