Oh just great! I barely got used to the upper and lower bracket system and now there is something different. Maybe it's easier to just give up on that question... Or maybe Trofo decides not to include DOTA because of this? (fingers crossed)  Yeah there wont be anything that sort this week if dota2 get included in the question but check the playoff and final dates for that, its on the last week of October so that means it probably gets included in the 2nd round of 3rd season if cro2 team decided to put in another dota2 related question Anyway upper and lower bracket system is pretty interesting once you are familiar with it. Basically it gives advantage to the team that perform their best on group stages because some teams loves to keep some of their strategy on group stages So its start on Monday, basically 1 day for the first round huh. Normally you guys gave out question on Sunday though. Totally cant wait, I hope I dont miss out any round again on the 3rd season
Nope, I wrote Monday because I kind of look at it weekly - Monday til Sunday is the round, although we never have Monday questions. Questions will be given to you tomorrow - so no changes there. Gotcha ! that is just what I thought
wasn't there some important tournament in Saudi Arabia, called International or Final, in last season
is that similar to GS in tennis, or something else
So the last Riyadh Master tournament with $15M prizepool wasnt part of the official tournament by Valve as the developers of the game Valve created sequences of official tournaments throughout the year and the final tournament for it would be The International. All the teams need to get points from all these official tournaments by placing on top otherwise they need to go through the regional qualifiers to get to The International Aside from the official tournaments, there are some other tournaments as well sponsored by the other organization that has nothing to do with The International even if you win all of them so basically just prize money if your team win |

That was a nice win for those who took the special as Mbappe scored both of France's goals for the victory over the Netherlands.
Too bad I missed it for an easy 4.10x bet special which I would jump at the chance. Of course I missed this  I always missed the 'golden ticket' ( reference from Willy Wonka chocolate factory in case if you dont know ), my luck sucks. Im totally unsure about this, first of all I dont think Norway is going to win let alone to score over 1.5 goals. Aside from that, Spain looks pretty bad on their last game against Scotland because the game could have ended with a draw against Scotland so personally Im going to skip this @ralle14 : what do you think about this mate? You seems to be having tendency to keep on winning this MOTD specials though |

But format is a little strange so I have to see how to ask something meaningful that will be ok for our competition format.
Yeah the 2nd phase is pretty weird, basically 16 teams left and none will get eliminated on the 2nd phase according to the description because 16 teams will still get to the playoff (?). Most likely the same as regular group stage on the 1st phase but they kinda reword it completely so this is going to be the decider for upper and lower bracket for the playoff huh  |

Anyway as expected to GG, another flop this year after showing dominance on the majors tournament. I think Team Spirit and Liquid all over again on the finals.
Its still to early to call them a flop, all GG need to do on the 1st group stage is literally not to finish last to secure the next spot so I kinda understand why they are keeping their strat for now I hope that you are right on this since GG usually easily knock down whenever they show weak start on the group stage. Their strong form has the chance to give Team Spirit close fight. Guess I was right, GG ended up making it to the next group stage as 2nd in group C. I think the other teams are improving better compared to GG but GG is going to atleast make it to top 4 as they are still top tier teams. Their only concern is probably keeping strat most of the time which always makes them looks like a pretty silly team on earlier stage I notice the significant changes on the TI format. Is this phase 2 seeding is new?
Pretty sure this is, I dont think the seeding decider games are important so I guess we might see alot of upsets today It seems that it was a bit too late to bet on favourites because bookies have decreased their odds for teams like Team Spirit, LGD and Team Liquid. You could have gotten atleast 2 for all those team on their first one or two games. As for the 2nd day, Im betting on both Team Liquid and PSG.LGD to win because they really need to win this to secure the next group stage spot.
Having a good record so far with my picks  |

Season 3 - CURRENTLY RUNNING- It will start on 16.10. and probably last until early March (20 weeks or so).
So its start on Monday, basically 1 day for the first round huh. Normally you guys gave out question on Sunday though. Totally cant wait, I hope I dont miss out any round again on the 3rd season It's slightly inaccurate to count GA... many of my points came from H2H direct or indirect -- I had a lot of luck.
Oh come on, take the compliment and enjoy it this season because Im coming back for you on the 4th season  . I was one of the few guys that got dished out against out on the H2H iirc well part of it was because I submitted late against you I guess but overall you were great on the 2nd season and not just being lucky there |

TI seems very silent this year because it looks like just another regular tournament due to the prize pool compared to previous tournament. Its still one of the most hyped tournament throughout the year. As for the prizepool, you gotta blame Valve for doing shitty job this year. We could have easily reached atleast $10M prizepool on every TI if only they havent done all those shitty job and not releasing any battle pass but yeah shit happened so probably next year would be better especially that they promised they would rebrand everything including the DPC points system Anyway as expected to GG, another flop this year after showing dominance on the majors tournament. I think Team Spirit and Liquid all over again on the finals.
Its still to early to call them a flop, all GG need to do on the 1st group stage is literally not to finish last to secure the next spot so I kinda understand why they are keeping their strat for now |

At TI11 and TI10, I bet in the group stage of the tournament on teams that were clearly expected to win, but often it turned out differently and they lost. After this bad experience I will bet with great caution. Moreover, I may try to bet on outsiders with large odds in the group stage, but at the moment I haven't yet decided on whom exactly. 9Pandas are playing inconsistently, maybe it will be them, but against Team Spirit on the first day it was obvious to me that they would lose. It seems that it was a bit too late to bet on favourites because bookies have decreased their odds for teams like Team Spirit, LGD and Team Liquid. You could have gotten atleast 2 for all those team on their first one or two games. Won this and its a good start for me, also managed to get Team Spirit to win on their 2nd game as well so it has been great for me. As for the 2nd day, Im betting on both Team Liquid and PSG.LGD to win because they really need to win this to secure the next group stage spot. Also put another small bet on Team Spirit again because I dont think they are going to throw the game away even after they have secured their next spot |

Basically in a perfect system and ideal situation, there is difference between demand and supply, inflation and deflation and purchasing power.
To increase the purchasing power of a currency, you must make sure inflation is reduced to nearly minimum and how do you do that, you make sure that the dollar in circulation is not in excess, the supply should be slightly lower than demand, that's how you make the economy better. On the other hand, what the central banks do is the opposite of what the economy says. They inject and pump the dollar into the economy, as a result increase inflation which later reduce the purchasing power of their currencies.
There are no such thing as perfect and ideal situation for any country's economy. Even if government managed to control all those internal factor on inflation, there is always some external factor to consider which could affect inflation. As a matter of fact, you can always consider inflation is some sort of government's tool to control the whole economic situation because they can always put more fiat into circulation then use up another tricks up their sleeve to reduce some of its circulation later on Obviously this is going to tarnish their reputation on how they deal with inflation but considering how bad all these governments are, I dont think most of them are even worried with their reputation |

Yeah it doesnt feel like its going to hit on that MOTD special so I'd rather skip that. In fact I dont think Im going to ever bet on any MOTD special again, I keep losing money on those lol . I kinda feel that recently SB choose a player that is less likely to score though so its kinda weird to bet on these MOTD again, well this is just my 2 cent Took BTTS on spain - scotland as well because scotland never failed to score on their last 7 games since last year so Imma took this chance with me  |

None of my freebets from BSFL cup have played but my first settles tomorrow with Spain hosting Scotland. No prizes for guessing who I'm backing  I'll share if it hits and slink away into the shadows if it doesn't. Catch you people on the weekend if I make it to Clubtalk! Cmon, share those bets lol I thought I wouldnt win anything from the free bets because I got no clue about what to bet on so I decided to bet just based on my guts hence I won two of them. I was pretty surprised myself  Aside from Wales - Gibraltar, I totally got no clue about all those other clubs lol. Ended up with $94.4 usdt of profit, not bad considering that I finished last from BSFL so thats basically abit over of what I paid as signup fee for division 1 |

I haven't confirmed the predictions for this match because in the early days like this I tend to prefer to observe it and be able to study how each team that competes plays so that later when I feel like I have enough information I can easily make predictions for each match. Kinda understandable that most people will skip the BO2 group stage because its pretty volatile but if you are looking for match that give you all those suspense you are looking for then betting on BO2 is pretty fun. There are some teams that are pretty dominant compared to the other team so if you actually have been following dota2 scene from the previous tournament then you would know which teams to pick for the bet |

Alright, TI is starting so lets get to the real deal right now as I have been suffering for weeks betting on csgo with most of it ended up losing  Most of the games are probably going to end with a draw so I chose two games that would most likely wont end with a draw. Team Spirit won the last two Major tournaments so they are probably going to win and as for BB, they got the potential for sure hence I picked them |

If you spend that kind of money and still need restructuring, it does not mean that it takes 4 billion to restructure - it just means you did an extremely shitty job trying to restructure
I gotta say that I agree with this eventhough it pretty hurts to admit that they have done shitty job in restructuring because I support the club. Part of it was probably signing Onana and not having another decent backup keeper and now we are stuck with Onana for atleast few more months if they ever decided to have a decent backup keeper but I kinda doubt that There are some players that are still injured but its going to be pretty rough as things stand for now especially after losing two times in UCL already |

I like all of the new rules, but one that I would want to see admend in the future is the VAR rule;
If you've used up your three trails, each VAR you use after that will cost you -1 point.
This is a huge prize to pay because changing your answer before the deadline doesnt mean that you are going to win that round therefore even if this gets added, I dont think anyone would be silly enough to spend their valuable 1 point on changing their answers. Imagine changing your answers with -1 point reduction only to lose that round as well , that would be nasty I only used one VAR last season, and it was very close to end...
iirc wasnt you the one that used them on a question related to Messi not playing for Argentina? It was against me wasnt it. That was a good VAR usage btw if it was you |

High rollers have more chances to win than low-stakes players because they are the ones with the biggest amounts of Golden tickets usually. So I'm sure one day, one high roller who doesn't care about losing few money will choose to receive the Lambo instead of the BTC prize just for the fun or for flexing on social medias with its big prize. It will be funny if he dare to put a Freebitcoin or Bitcointalk sticker on the car, on top of that.  ikr but remember that one time when we had a lottery winner with only 1-2 tickets ? That silly possibility happened though so perhaps it could happen on the lambo draw as well. Pretty close to impossible but yeah Im not really expecting it anyway but it would be crazy if it happen. As for me, I would probably pick btc prize as well instead of having to pay tax for the lambo but I'll use the money to rent a lambo for a day to snap some photo for you guys if I win |

Just noticed that the next draw's coming soon. Just wanted to quickly post here to let you all know I'm winning the big one with my single lucky ticket I've won quite a weird few lotteries on crypto in the past with a single ticket -- think 1 in almost 100,000 very early on, for some Doges that I of course wasted away. You heard it here first! Still waiting for the day that someone active from bitcointalk would get a lambo and choose the lambo instead of btc . Would be nice showing pics driving on the lambo if you ever won it but so far it seems everyone will just go for btc instead. Considering that you need to pay tax for that, its just make sense to choose btc over it but just imagine how cool will it be with someone driving lambo won from the draw 1 golden ticket, onto the draw as well. My luck sucks so goodluck boys |

You were greedy and messed up your ticket,
Lol yeah I was greedy but I havent messed my ticket up. All I need would be Wolfsburg W to win tonight. Well to bad that they dont allow to cash out on free bets betting, otherwise I would be cashing this out as I got my own hunch that Wolfsburg W is going to mess this one up I didn't realise your last game was today; I assumed it was for the men's team. I also didn't realise there were CLW league qualification matches today, danm it! Wolfsburg W will cripple the Paris Ladies. You're taking this with you, man. I'm making another game today, and if you're interested, I'll share the ticket. I still have two $20 freebets so hit me up if you have anything, either by PM or post it here lol. I dont know anything good to bet on, I tried horse betting earlier in the morning by betting on favourites then turned out that horse lost . So its halftime for Paris W - Wolfsburg W, score is 3-2. Im pretty surprised with woman's football lol, its pretty volatile Ooo that rule change could turn out to be a lot more significant than we would imagine. Don't recall Div1 ever having late submissions, has it ever?
Well as much as I hate to admit this, I was late 2 times last season so yeah I paid the price for being relegated to division 2 now . Well thinking back, I think I would have survived this if only I didnt submitted those two late as I would have gotten 5 extra points from that ( 1 time win and I would not get -2 points reduction ) |

@igebotz : well it seems you are pretty lucky, so whats next should we bet on? We both got decent number of freebets to use so Im expecting some parlay tips from you. Lets lose together LOL You were greedy and messed up your ticket, Lol yeah I was greedy but I havent messed my ticket up. All I need would be Wolfsburg W to win tonight. Well to bad that they dont allow to cash out on free bets betting, otherwise I would be cashing this out as I got my own hunch that Wolfsburg W is going to mess this one up Business Name: Harkorede BSFL notification company [/size] LOL this is actually a pretty good business idea Giroud s also on the list since he is the only GK with perfect save accuracy.
Giroud > Onana so far . thats a fact and it was a pretty good save from him |

sad my parlay lose because of the 1 match i add while yours win I followed his parlay as well and it seems there are 1 ongoing match which is still around 25 minutes to go. AVS need to win their game for the parlay to win and I also added my own bet onto this because the odds was quite low so I tried to be smart I will need Wolfsburg Women to win tomorrow or else Im going to lose mine as well
@igebotz : well it seems you are pretty lucky, so whats next should we bet on? We both got decent number of freebets to use so Im expecting some parlay tips from you. Lets lose together LOL |
