Good day Sir!
can i pay in usdt for participation in nfl ? my exchange takes 10 dollars commission for transfer in bitcoins.
Please Maybe someone can help me?

Sorry, no.  I don't want to convert USDT either.  Try using Bisq, or posting an ad in the currency exchange board (be sure to use escrow for the latter.)  You'll still pay fees, but not likely that much.

Sorry for the off topic!

I know there are quite a few Americans that hang out here.  For those of you who might be football fans, I'm hosting an NFL Pick-Em pool for the regular season.  The participation fee is cheap, placing your weekly predictions takes just a few minutes, it's super fun, and there's over $2k worth BTC to divy up for prizes for the lucky and the skilled.

And, you don't have to be an American to participate, everyone is welcome.

Just a little over 48 hours left before kickoff.  We have 26 participants so far, just need two more to break our record from last year.

Courtesy tag for those who participated last year, those who've showed interest in the past, those who I think might be interested, and those whom I just felt like tagging for no reason at all.  Tongue

I just got back and finished washing my balls.  I'm as ready as I'll ever be.  When's the draft?

Hmm... I don't really know anybody outside of the usuals in this thread. What about xhomerx10? He might be interested as I recall him commenting on games from time to time. I will send him a PM.

That would be awesome if he joined us.  I don't recall him mentioning football, but I'm not as active the WO as used be.

Cheesy, play on yahoo guys and I'll see you next year

I have spent the last 3 hours trying to use this site.

I have figured out 90% but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set a pre draft lineup and that is literally the most basic thing in a draft!

Maybe this site is easy to set your lineup on a phone but it is shit for commish tools and browser usage.

Oh and apparently I cannot reset the draft as the reset button disappears after a draft (why the fuck they have a reset button that disappears the only time you would need it is beyond me).

Is no-one else having issues doing mock drafts, or are you all using phones?

BTW I have the fucking captcha error on my phone now after installing the app.
I seem to remember having that issue last time I installed it but I figured out a work around and I cant remember what the fuck it was.Doh



It looks like the draft already happened.  I have one player on my team, and now it won't let me change the draft settings.  I think we might have to set up a new league, but I don't have time right now.  I'm heading out this evening and won't be back until monday.  I can mess around with it on Monday afternoon.  Let's plan on drafting on 20:30 Eastern Time (17:30 Pacific) Wednesday night.  I'll configure the league once I get back on Monday.

To be able to manually set the draft order you have use the "click to reassign" linky:

7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: August 29, 2025, 02:16:08 AM
So someone post the link to that sleeper league DW setup please, I'll check it out and make sure they have the stats correct this time.

EDIT: OK this does not give me the warm fuzzies I just went and tried to check sleeper out and recover my old account and after 10 frigging captchas it gave me this fucking ERROR. "Error: There’s an issue with your network. Please try again in 30 minutes."

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY MOTHER FUCKING NETWORK.

EVERYONE make sure you can get an account on that site, we need this done before hand as it looks like the majority is going to be to use it.

I just PM'd the link the group.  Click the link from a PC browser, and try logging in that way.  Sometimes phone app are finicky on rooted phones...  Yeah, I know how you are.

I agree that we should set a deadline for responding in the affirmative here, Friday night sounds good, so we can get our voting results in early.  @morvillz7z, can we count on you to set draft order again?
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: August 28, 2025, 12:22:14 PM
I updated the vote table with all the latest data.  I pushed out the draft time on the Sleeper app to Wednesday, Sept. 9, 15:30 Eastern Daylight Time to give us more time, but I can always pull it back in.  As for funds, I'm not worried about any of you guys, so we can deal with that later.  I'm going to be busy over the next several days so if one of you guys wants to take over escrow duties, feel free.  Otherwise I'll deal with it next week.

We have 10 confirmed participants who've posted here, but I only see 4 of us have registered on the app.  I set the app for 12, but if needed I can change it to 10 of South Park and seek3r don't respond here.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: August 28, 2025, 02:21:14 AM
Okay Gents,

Here's what I have for votes so far.  It's getting critical for the selecting draft date, but so far it's looking like Sleeper, keeping PPFD, adding Point per Sack Yard, and keeping kickers are in the lead.  If you feel strongly about something, please submit your vote.

I'll be out in the woods (hunting wabbits) until Monday afternoon, but in a pinch I can drive to a spot to get reception and join the draft.  Regardless, I vote for Tuesday evening Pacific Time for the draft.

So far I have morvillz7z and nutildah as no for sleeper.  I'll count suchmoon as a no also, "hate" is a pretty strong word.  Myself, ChiBitCty, and Hhampuz are yes.  3 to 3 at this point.

I'll count bbc, yahoo, and wheelz as no votes for now, unless I misunderstood.

For those of you who aren't in the discord or whom didn't see the message, seek logged in today there and said he will be participating.

Nice, hopefully South Park wakes up and makes it a 12 man league.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: August 24, 2025, 11:01:14 PM
Just checked and  South Park  has not posted since january!

Hope he's ok.

I seem to recall him posting little outside this thread, and primarily during the season for a couple of years now.  I too, hope he's well.  Let's hope he cashed out some coins at the ATH and he's kicking back on a beach somewhere, drinking Mai Tais, and the last thing on his mind are his forum buddies and our Fantasy League.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: August 24, 2025, 05:48:25 AM
Speaking of being bothered by people, why you gotta do me dirty like that with your Kicker comment! Lol. It’s all good, I just hate them and tbh I wish they’d be done away with in the real game too. I mean I understand the conflicting aspect with the name of the game and all but mehh 🤷‍♂️

I'm sorry if that offended you, certainly wasn't my intent.  If I'm posting from my broken alt, you can assume I'm typing on a phone and being as lazy as possible while doing so.

Temu of fantasy - No thanks!

Lol


Here're my votes:
  • Switch to Sleeper: Yes
  • Add 0.2 points per sack yard: Yes
  • Eliminate PPFD: No
  • Eliminate kickers: No

For draft day; Friday through Sunday are fine for me, Monday and Tuesday not so good, Wednesday is fine.  If it's a weekday, preferably 5pm or later Pacific Time.

Today is the last day of pre-season, and only 12 days left before the start of the regular season.  If payment is an issue, let me know via PM and we can arrange something.  As long as your fee is paid well before the end of the season, all is good.

For those of you who've already joined, thank you and sorry for the redundant tag.  But, feel free to spread the word.

Curtesy tags for those who participated or showed interest last year.

Hi!

I want to join, but I can’t figure out how this site works. Can I participate from a computer, or do I need to install it on my phone?

<...>

Sleeper Pick'em pools are only available on the app...yes, you need to get it on your phone.

It is unfortunate that the Pick-Em pool is only available on the phone app.  Their Fantasy Football app is browser based, and works on a PC and tablet, but when you click on the Pick-Em pool channel it says "coming soon."  Hopefully they get that resolved by next year.

I like football season and will just ignore it as it doesn't affect me since I am not at the games so I can see your point regarding those that bought tickets to games with the cheerleaders.

The Niners had male cheerleaders last year now, maybe the year before, too.  I try to go to at least one game a year, two tops.  I can't say that the cheerleaders, male or female have taken up much of my attention at games.  In fact the last time I was at a game, my brother pointed out that one of the cheerleaders was male, and if he hadn't I probably wouldn't have noticed at all.  It's really not a big deal, but people have to make a big deal about something to keep the Bread and Circus affective.

Let's just focus on the Circus, because even when you know it's just a distraction, it's a welcome one.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: August 22, 2025, 02:47:07 AM
The cringy part about it isn't the male cheerleaders, it's the big deal the NFL makes about it.  They're breaking their arm patting themselves on the back.  Trying so hard to prove to the world that they're not a bunch of racists and bigots, they essentially expose themselves as being just that.  It reminds me of the media circus they made about Donovan McNabb making it to the Super Bowl.  McNabb was a good quarterback, and that's that.  Why the need to bring race into it, unless of course you've been accused of being a racist and want to prove otherwise.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: August 21, 2025, 01:41:08 AM
morvillz7z - will play

I'm in.

Excellent!  I've updated the post with the list.  


Still waiting to hear from wheelz1200, South Park, and seek3r.


How many slots do we get for male cheerleaders

They are only equipped with two, as opposed the normal three.  Which is rather unfortunate, the one that's missing is by far my favorite.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: August 20, 2025, 11:52:53 AM
Male cheerleading used to be a respectable profession.



Notice the strategic placement of the towel in the wasteband.

I'm in, obviously.

Looks like we have 9 confirmed so far, haven't heard form Suchmoon, Wheelz1200, South Park, morvillz7z, or seek3r.  Although I can't see these guys abandoning us, except for maybe seek3r.  He was on the fence last year.

Hueristic - confirmed
suchmoon - confirmed
wheelz1200
nutildah - confirmed
yahoo62278 - confirmed
bbc.reporter - confirmed
South Park
Hhampuz - confirmed (sleeper only)
ChiBitCTy - confirmed
morvillz7z - confirmed
DireWolfM14 - confirmed
seek3r

Edit : only rule change I can think of that I’d like to change is no 1st down pts. Oh and I would be thrilled if we got rid of K’s too. Just my 2. Happy to be playing regardless.

I'm going to negate your vote on both of those!  Grin Grin
I like PPFD and kickers are my favorite position.  J/K about that last part, but really I do want to keep kickers.  Kicks and First Downs are a significant part of the game IRL, and I don't see a reason why we shouldn't include them in fantasy.
