That will never be the case. BSFL already has a recognizable format and we will try minor changes occasionally.
We might have 2 questions per game in really huge games (CL final, Euro/World Cup final), but that will really be rare.

Newcastle promo was only about Newcastle's CL adventure - so there wasn't much room to make it more diverse.

Yeah, but they have Atletico first whereas Barca has Osasuna. I'm breaking my head on this one as well.
Barca is 85% in the final, whereas Real is 60% in the final. Which way do you wanna go?

Then again, Atletico in the final has a decent chance against Barcelona. This is really a cointoss, although I'll probably go with Real - simply because Barca is bad and will lose the final against any club from Madrid.

Who's the favorite to win? I assume Morocco?
I like the Ivory Coast team, I feel that Egypt is too dependent on Salah.

Senegal looks good on paper again, but something about that team never clicks for me. Algeria? They look kinda boring but tough to beat.

If they had a single decent CB, Nigeria would be my favorite. Their offensive line is really good.

Most questions are about more than a single game - which kinda makes them more luck-based.
Usually we have 1-2 such questions, but now almost all span across multiple days.

Trofo's our esports expert, please let me secure D1 status before we bring them back

I was mostly surprised by Havertz - he was never a finisher, but some of his decisions were shocking yesterday.
I still feel he's got fantastic potential, but he's stagnated since his Leverkusen days - maybe even gotten a bit worse in the process.

It didn't help Arsenal that Saka had a bad game as well. In a game like this you usually score 2 goals at least.

We will never try to stop the community for helping each other, so feel free to do it.
There are 5 players that are in danger, and 1 of them already submitted.

The list will always be updated in the following post.

This was so lucky from Liverpool

We did improve quite a bit in the 2nd half, but I really feel the game should have been over by halftime.
Arsenal didn't let us breathe at all and were great in their pressing, we were slow and sloppy. Luckily, we did get a cheap goal in and after that, there was more space to play.

I hope for an easier 4th round in tomorrow's draw, considering that we're not in CL I would like us to try hard for both cups. We have a great chance already in the League Cup.

Hasn't happened so far, we assume it won't happen at all.
Naturally, if SB received 50 max bets from new accounts on player X, they'd probably just void the bets.

This is all just for fun, max bets will be small, usually 30-50% of us place the bets. SB does it just so we can have some extra fun so let's not ruin that by thinking we can outsmart them, eh?

The Cup QF pairs have been decided before penalties, with home teams dominating.

Round 4 results

Hhampuz - mitchr4   3-2
Renato297 - Kokee44   3-1
Ulven - Slissy   2-1
chi20 - BitcoinHunt3r   2-1

Trofo lost a sidebet to Harkorede, and will face penalties in his sidebet vs slackovic.

The Cup semifinal pairs are:

Hhampuz - Renato297
Ulven - chi20

Embarrassment for Div1 - no representatives in the cup semis.
As usual, we'll try to arrange betting on Sportsbet on the semifinal pairs.

We proceed with the league, questions for Round 11 are ready.

The deadline is January 9th, 18:00 GMT.

As already mentioned, there are a lot of sports events happening and most of the questions span across multiple days. We thought this is a fun experiment for this round, but don't see it happening a lot in the future.
We like when the majority of the questions revolve around a single game - because the factor of luck is higher in the current set of questions.

Let us know what you think about it - maybe we find the middle ground somewhere if the majority likes it more this way.

Three Division 2 and 2 Division 3 players are 1 late submission away from elimination. Be careful guys

Salah is a bigger star there, he's Muslim and they can market much better around him.
He's also a true professional still in his prime. Ronaldo is a professional but not on elite level anymore and Neymar stopped trying to do his best 10 years ago.

Salah is exactly what that league needs, a statement transfer. That's why I feel that they'd pay 200 million without blinking.
I hope we ask for crazy money, for them it's all the same anyway.

Guys, you have to give me some credit for the Bischofshofen margins
There are no odds for such stuff anywhere so it's all out of our heads, and most often than not we nail them to be just right.

Questions for the next league round are almost ready, they are a bit different this time as an experiment. We'll see how you like them.
We'll probably post them tomorrow, still some finetuning to do.

Yep, I think he wanted to go this year as well.
Liverpool will want to sell, we're not City so we have to balance the books. He's the best player on our team, but having him for 1 more season or having 100+ mil in the bank to replace him will be a no-brainer.
At least I hope it will - we need that money.

I hope we push the Saudi teams hard - Salah is their talisman and I'd literally ask for 500 million to let him go. They'd probably pay half of that without any issues.

___________________________

Porro's goal is nice, the one that haunts me is still Kompany's one. One of the nicest goals from a defender I've ever seen.
Would have easily been Carragher's in his last game vs QPR, but he hit the post. The reaction is everything though

You do understand I wasn't comparing that, right? For a sheriff, you should pay more attention.

You said Asian Cup isn't interesting enough to be there, I said that they have Scottish league and South Africa one.
I am sure that the Asian Cup will have a bigger audience than Scottish Prem - I was not speaking about the local leagues of Vietnam and Singapore, but the biggest Asian football tournament.


Whenever an Asian team other than Japan and South Korea plays an African team I assume you'll give me odds of over 2 on Asian team to win, correct?
For example, Australia - Mozambique. Or Iran - Tanzania. Saudi Arabia - Angola?

Really can't wait to bet on these things against you.

Bobby was amazing for us, a type of player you rarely see nowadays. If you offer that much, nobody will cherrypick your contribution, whereas Nunez has to score considering that's basically all that he's trying to do.
I like Jota as well, he's got incredible awareness for the game. Gakpo can be good for us too, but this season hasn't really gone his way.

Anyway - we're actually in a decent spot to say goodbye to Salah in the summer - especially because his departure will leave us with a shitload of money.

Congrats fellas, all of you already won some prizes, now you just have to battle it out for the main one.

They did not really win the game. For a win you get 3 points, they received 2 points and Spain received 1 point - so both teams were initially rewarded for a draw and then Croatia won an extra point for being better on penalties.
To be fair, we could have worded it better - and of course it always bites us in the ass when we don't make it 100% clear.

We will count it as a draw, bookies would do the same and also we have this from before the start of the game:

What the hell hahah, this is really insane.
When you reach the wheel of fortune, it seems like a 5% chance (1/20) to hit the jackpot?

These are fantastic odds for life-changing money. I have to start tracking this

Yup, that's why they have A-League, Scottish Premiership, South Africa league and women's Prem. Cause everybody wants to watch Dundee - Motherwell and Swallows - Golden Arrows.

I understand it's not that significant, but top Asian teams can easily go head to head with the top african ones. We don't need to play it, they don't need to have it, but you make it sound like it's way worse than it is.

Well, surely, if Asian Cup isn't even on Superbru it complicates things too much.
It was just an idea, considering that the last few Asian Cups were more interesting (football-wise) than AFCON.

I hope AFCON turns out good this year, there are too many good players there for it to be so boring.

______________________________

Trofo, count me in of course. I'll send the buy in in some way in the next few days.

Both should, because both have been crap. Nunez especially.


Sure, but he makes movements even his teammates can't understand. He's constantly offside, rarely in the right place, rarely with good off the ball decisions.

I read a stat somewhere on Twitter, says something like this:
Nunez since joining Liverpool - 10 big chances scored, 40 big chances missed.

He's scored 5 goals from 8.7 xG. I know what you mean - the guy causes chaos, that's true. But unfortunately, more to our team than to the opponents' one.
