First bore draw of the tournament, didn't watch the game so can't say if it was a different affair on the pitch, anyone lost money on that trap? Argentina won me this nice acca, but I lost much, much more I can't bear to admit adding them to another acca (odds at the time were over 12/10 so I thought it was a nice 20% boost to winnings). Serves me right.
It did not seem like a bore draw from glimpses I managed to steal while working. This was first bad day in the WC for me, lost all my tickets on Argentina and then one that survived on Denmark. Both results came as a big shock to me and I thought these were maybe the best pairs to bet on in the whole match day. But since I have a nice bank from couple of consecutive wins i doubled down and place an enormous recovery bet, we shall see how it goes. Let's just say I need Poland to not loose and then some snooker to make it more lucrative. |

Fantasy experts: so subs should just stay on the bench and let auto do the job unless you know players don't play, right?
Absolutely not, subs are there to let you get more points. But the idea is not to sub off players that did well for you, rather try it with players that did poorly. For instance Trippier got 1 point for me and he will go out for DeBruyne tonight, while I will also sub someone else, maybe Eriksen when I see how many points he got for Batsuyashi. Then I have Neymar on final day to twist one more player. I have Fantasy chat on Clubtalk tomorrow at 6PM GMT between last 2 games so feel free to drop by and ask stuff like that. I am also changing my captain from Messi to Neymar or DeBruyne. It is a bit of gamble since I will loose his double points but I believe it is worth it. |

@Trofo or @cryptofrka, do you plan to have all the answers in one spreadsheet? If yes, could you link it in the first post of this thread so everyone can find it easily? Even if there will be a new spreadsheet for every round, maybe you could link every spreadsheet in the first post. That way everyone could find it easily. I don't know about other members but I often like to open the spreadsheet and check my answers.
Yeah, I thought it was already linked there to be fair, will tell my colleague to update it. We are still thinking what is the best way to present results to make it maximally engaging. So expect some updates on that as well. |

/snip inace, vidim da su se na listi tuzenih nasli svi promoteri FTX-a, medju njima i Tom Brady i Steph Curry, sto neko napisa ako Temasek (drzavna investiciona banka Singapura) za 8 meseci pregleda dokumentacije pre ulaganja u FTX nije primetio da FTX nema knjigovodstvo, kako su to Tom i Steph mogli  To samo pokazuje da uvijek treba paziti što reklamiraš, pogotovo ako si javna osoba koja ima mogućnost utjecaja na mišljenja i akcije drugih, "običnih" ljudi. Ako nisu mogli znati, a vjerojatno nisu, onda nisu trebali niti reklamirati FTX. Sad su suočeni s tužbama kao što bi bili suočeni i da su reklamirali neku ponzi shemu. Ti si znači proučio tu svoju Mars bet kladionicu u detalje i zavrtio jedno miljun dolara barem da vidiš da stvarno isplaćuju dobitke prije nego si pristao nositi potpis za 40$ tjedno  No sad malo ozbiljnije, moram priznati da sam se nakon uhićenja lika koji je napisao Tornado Cash koliko je još vremena ostalo prije nego netko proglasi i nas koje reklamiramo CM na forumu kriminalcima. |

Možda možete zamoliti Trofoa i Cro2 da organizira nešto ovako.
Teško, organiziram puno poolova i standardna stranica koju koristimo je Superbru, nažalost nema podršku za hrvatsku igru. Drugi problem je sponzorstvo, teško da bi izvukao veću lovu za HNL ali nešto bi dobio od Sportsbeta sigurno ako ništa drugo na račun drugih stvari koje radim za njih. Ako netko zna stranicu poput Superbru koja vodi ligu automatski i ima HNL, organiziram ja to bez problema. Ali pripremite se da van našeg lokala neće biti više od 5 ljudi spremnih sudjelovati. Španjolska i talijanska liga sa preko 100mBTCa sponzorstva jedva skupe preko 15 ljudi. |

Those that choose Benzema will get automatic zero points. We are not bookies and we can even post trick questions, we probably will not, but for instance we could have included Pogba in that list. It is your problem if you don't know he will not play.
But just for fun, even bookies wouldn't refund that bet. They would for market Benzema to score but not for market who scores first in the game.
Bookmakers will not void bets on Benzema if he was part of the lineup and did not play, but if he was left out of the competition, all bets on Benzema are void. Sportbet can confirm that, but this is just for fun, so I understand your point. For the record, I did not select Benzema. Not really the case, you have to make a difference between Benzema market like Benzema to score, Benzema to assist... and general market that just has Benzema as one option. For instance who will win golden boot and you pick Benzema. Every bookie has its own T&C but almost all bookies would void "Benzema market" bets while they would let "general market" bets play. Unless they void as part of the promo or marketing trick. Our questions falls into "general market" by my book. Hope I managed to convey my point. I am actually one of those crazy people that read T&C before betting on site and I have seen all kinds of strange stuff inside them. For instance wbet7 counts forfeits in tennis as regular result and pays out bets or takes your money. Used that a couple of times to my advantage in early GS rounds and got screwed by it a couple of times as well. |

Full Time: England 6-2 Iran  I had no doubt England would start their World Cup campaign with a win but didn’t expect it to be this easy. It was one way traffic from the very beginning. There will be much bigger tests ahead but Southgate couldn’t ask for more, very impressive start. Now we move to Senegal vs Netherlands. I will be keeping my eyes on Van Dijk. Nobody expected England to score 6, not even their most trusted supporters, that is just not the way England plays big competitions. It all went their way today and they couldn't have asked for better start after all the disappointments in Nations League. Netherlands just finished their job with 2:0 win, even if it looks clean on the paper it was anything but easy for them. It was very tight game and Senegal had some good chances. I am prediction Qatar to loose from both of these teams and then Senegal and Ecuador will decide who goes trough. |

Ah man thanks cryptofrka for that spreadsheet, like Trofo, I thought a lot of people would be going for Qatar to concede over 2.5 goals, but I guess we already have a tough set of quiz takers, hmm!
Nope, somebody else wrote that about goals. I expected very low scoring game and Ecuador to win 1:0, even had under 2.5 goals bet and thought it will go down the drain when Ecuador started scoring. I can already imagine England supporters signing "It is coming home", I guess it could since they are in luck and some of the strongest team like Hungary did not qualify for this WC |

Can we get the list of Questions posted here again? I do not remember it anymore just remember my Under 2.5 Equador lands
You can always check the questions in the spreadsheet with answers. For today there's a question about Sterling - will he: - play the whole game
- start but be subbed off
- be subbed on at some point
- not play at all
spoiler; STERLING STARTS! For those of us who have seen the leaked England lineup, that's another plus point for me because I'm certain he'll be replaced in the second half; there's no way he'll play the full 90 minutes in his current form. What happened to those who chose Benzema? Since he is out of the World Cup on a game ticket, the game is void and the stake is refunded, so I'm wondering if those who chose him to score the first goal will re-choose answer or will they receive automatic 0 point. Those that choose Benzema will get automatic zero points. We are not bookies and we can even post trick questions, we probably will not, but for instance we could have included Pogba in that list. It is your problem if you don't know he will not play. But just for fun, even bookies wouldn't refund that bet. They would for market Benzema to score but not for market who scores first in the game. |

This fantasy game could turn out to be a complete flop in the end, if it is not already. People were talking about a working glitch/hack on Twitter earlier today that allows you to have players above the allowed budget, like wtf? lol Damn, people behind this game are slow, they have updated points for just 2 players so far. They could be busy fixing the glitches before they add/update player points. It's a mess already and it's just day 1. Points still not updated, makes for fun decisions in game where you can already make bench substitutions. I did not hear about that budget exploit but I plan to use wildcard in GW2 and see if it will really be possible to make free transfers for GW3 with it as well. What is absolutely worst is the fact that Wold Cup fantasy from FIFA worked perfectly 4 years ago. I guess someone wanted to be smart and hired new team to work on it. |

I wanted a cheap playing keeper and there isn't any cheaper than Galindes at 4M. Don't know why since Ecuador kept a clean sheet in last 6 games.
Wasnt Pope at 4M as well? Im not sure if it was 4M or 4.5M but he was cheap though But Pope is not playing, he is third choice behind xxx and Ramsdale. There is very we playing 4M keepers, one is Galindes and the other one could be Rochet from Uruguay. But I had a guy from Ecuador on my Fantasy chat and he said he is sure Galindes will be first choice so I trusted him and always had backup in case it doesn't work. Damn, people behind this game are slow, they have updated points for just 2 players so far. |

Unbelievable first half of the game, Valencia of Ecuador gets 3 goals but VAR was at it again to disallow the first goal which leaves the captain with 2 goals to his name what a start...with this performance we are looking at a minimum of 12points for his fantasy score, possible hattrick is on the card's. I wonder if we have players that have picked any of these lads for their fantasy team  Hey guys, is there a way to confirm I joined the league? I can see I'm part of Trofo's Fantasy league
Not really but I guess the confirmation is seeing that very message of you being part of Trofo's Fantasy league but with the first game kicking off the table should populate with all participants Of course, there's always that odd manager that selects underdogs for his team, so I won't be shocked if Valnecia was selected and given the captaincy. He already took a knock in the first half and was fortunate to still be on his feet, thus I believe he should be taken off to prevent more injury. His role in this game is already done; it's up to his teammate to maintain the outcome or do additional harm. In regards to the first goal, VAR was accurate. The league participants is officially open for anyone to access. Well I have a Ecuador goal keeper in my team so there are those points at least if this stay as it is. I wanted a cheap playing keeper and there isn't any cheaper than Galindes at 4M. Don't know why since Ecuador kept a clean sheet in last 6 games. And they play on a first day so plenty of time to sub him for anybody else. You can all see participants now in the league page. |

I watched the key moments in the Đoković - Fritz match - Đoković's mental strength showed how important it is once again.
Fritz had an advantage in the 1st tie-break, and served for the 2nd set. The result? He lost 2-0.
Đoković will be a big favorite tonight - Ruud is without a set won in their 3 matches so far.
I had a -3.5 handicap on Djokovic, I now realise I should have gone with Fritz, hindsight is 20/20 vision of course. I have gone for Ruud in the final +4.5 @ 1.59. I think Djokovic will win but hopefully it will be a close 2 set affair. I have lost most of my bets that included Rudd this season. I just don't see what he has in his game to get the results he is getting other than better mental state then most of his opponents. But no matter how good he is in the head, Djoković is the absolute champion of mind games. I really don't see how Ruud can win tonight but he will probably find a way to do it and kill my extra high stake bet where I am waiting only for Djoković.  |

Hey guys, is there a way to confirm I joined the league? I can see I'm part of Trofo's Fantasy league, is this the correct one for Sportsbet? I can't remember actually what I did or how I clicked to join the fantasy league but I can't see anything about any league I'm in, FIFA says only once match starts then I can see but that's stupid because it's too late to join by then right? Anyway, I had to reset my team because Benzema is out  Yeah that is the correct one. But I really just answered pretty much all you asked in post just before yours. Applications are open until 02.12. and you have to fill in the form on official promo page over on Sportsbet. Benzema out is actually quite unexpected and maybe it already screwed with somebody 12th man chip. Not much time left until the first game, just about 3 hours. |

I think that Cosmi is a very good coach, but he simply did not have the right support from the club management and the right players to achieve better results.
Rijeka fans are very bitter and angry, currently there is a lot of negative news and energy around the club and I think that this season is definitely lost for Rijeka.
Next season, they will not be placed in the European competition, for the first time in a long time, because of this they will be much less attractive for new players and sponsors, and I think that Rijeka is waiting for a very long period of recovery and returning to the old paths of glory.
Dinamo will continue to be untouchable in the Croatian league, while Hajduk, Osijek and the ever-improving Slaven will fight for European competitions.
I agree and that's really sad for a club like Rijeka. I hope they will recover from this but it will take a long time. I don't understand how the club management thinks that this is a good way to do business. This way they will lose many of their fans and with that, a lot of money that comes from sponsors and tickets. I'm not sure what kind of deal Miskovic have but he too probably have someone to answer if the results are bad. I mean, he probably doesn't own the club. Or does he? Misković is the chairman and owner of the club. And as person that lives in Rijeka but would qualify myself only as casual supporter, I don't have anything bad to say about him. He got Rijeka out of big debts, brought in some good sponsors, made a modern stadium while Dinamo and Hajduk are still playing in ruins... We had bigger aspirations while we still had big money coming from Italy and when it stopped he very realistically talked about club goals. It is our reality to bring in players that need to revitalize their careers and it worked brilliantly for a couple of years. This is the first year when it backfired. You can't always get it right even when you have the budget, let alone when you don't have. |

Eh Trofo I didn't see the list of other participants like the FPL own can you please confirm if I have already join the league, ZAGURU12 is the nick.
It is not that difficult, you just click on the link on promotion page and then fill typeform afterwards. I can't check typeform for you since don't have access to it. You will be able to check fantasy league by yourself when scoring starts. Applications are accepted until 02.12. so if you are not just apply again. Not gonna check manually any more since there is way too many participants and i don't feel like scrolling trough several not sorted pages every time. Just make sure your team is set up for the first game and points will transfer. |

I want to ask something related to the odds requirement, what if the initial odds of my bet were under 1.50 but after the price boost it shoots up to 1.52 does that still count or not?
Nope. Same rules as all Sportsbet promotions. You need that clean 1.50 odds without any boosters applied.
Getting a bit tired of answering qualifying bet questions, is it really that hard to comprehend or problematic to place a bet under 10$ on odds over 1.5? 1. You have to have 1 game from current match day with odds over 1.5, BB allowed 2. Total stake at least 0.5mBTC, or equivalent in other currencies 3. I have allowed outright for this first round, later on make sure it from current round of matches 4. Parlays are allowed but one game inside parlay has to cover those above rules. We don't care about other games in parlay. Hell this competition is for people that actively bet on Sportsbet if it is such a problem to share a ticket which you should already have anyway....I can share 5+ tickets with matches from every day, you need to do 1 for entire match day. Why complicating it that much? |

Tried using booster then confirming, then resetting, booster came back. I guess this is okay to do as long as MD1 hasn't started yet. I didn't want to be too fancy and try to be too smart, so I made sure I got points from Kane (vs Iran should be pretty good right?) and I even put Trent in, bonus because he's a def but he'll probably be played in midfield  I went for 4-3-3 wanted to even go 3 defenders but then budget doesn't allow for a good squad anyway. All done, not gonna tinker! You really think Trent is gonna play? Southgate only called him cause James got injured, he doesn't like him at all for defense and usually plays with two defensive midfielders as well. Would really like him to take a bit of risk and to try and attack weaker opponents but don't think we will se that. It will again be 5 defenders, 2 def midfielders and hoping Kane score a goal so they can win 1:0. |

seeing that some bets do not qualify, just to double check we need to put stake bigger or equal to 0,5mBTC on a parlay that includes World Cup (or have to be only World Cup pairs?) looking to avoid that PM from organizers that my bet do not qualify 1 game on your ticket has to be world cup game from that match day and that one game has to have odds over 1.5. You can leave it as single or add 10 more pairs that can be anything you want at all. buwaytress also threaded the line a bit, with sending his outright bet as qualification bet but since his choice was such that it was basically a donation to Sportsbet I have let it slide Not gonna name his choice, but let's just point out he got the odds close to 300. Joking aside this rule is here so that all participants have to use Sportsbet page and I know for a fact that buwaytress has at least a couple of qualifying tickets at any moment. |
