Brazil won, but I needed England to score. Still a good result for me, as bloody France are toothless with only 20 minutes to play, so looks like I'll lose that one, to bring the round to 3-2 with only NCAA and F1 to go and judging by leea's answer of "3nd Ferrari driver", I should win that one right? Heh heh I feel that 3-goal differences are quite rare in BSFL so yeah, 3-0 is the best you get. Maybe not even that in the future  Too lazy to look at past history but I think 1-goal difference rounds feel like the most common result. 3-2 also feels like the most common result or median for me, but I wonder what the stats look like across the leagues. Have a feeling it's been quite big in Div3s, but am only relying on imagined memory. It's too big a freebie, agree. Should be 1-0, to reflect how relatively often it happens (once to me already in 4 seasons, something to remind CLS63 forever about). I should have followed my freaking guts on the Brazil vs England game, I was also sure of Brazil not losing while I also believed that England new experimental squad could find it hard to score, I had Brazil not to lose and BTTS No initially as I don’t like BTTS option but I change it at the I wanted to submit simply because I felt my opponent would also go with BTTS, while I don’t like taking BTTS, what I hate more is when I lose a point to an opponent because of it. |

Don't wanna speak too soon but I think I will manage to beat Ulven in this round. I mean he missed so I win 3 free points but I like to feel that I deserved to win anyway. @Trofo @cryptofrka What happens if the actual scoreline is better than 3-0 in a walkover win, will that be counted? I guess not really, but just curious if this ever happened to anyone  It feels so silly that I am getting 4/5 so far, when even 0/10 would be enough. Hope my team not wasting their breath  It's is rule as 3:0 regardless of the scoreline, I'm one of the few people who even feel that 3:0 is a bit too generous and put the rest of the league at a disadvantage. If they are going to count the original scoreline instead of 3:0 default walkover, then they would also have to render the result as a draw, if the player that's supposed to get the 3 walkover goes 0/10 in their answers for the week , right ? |

Updated record 39-46 46%)
Got Rekt..all 3 are bad picks, LOL... May win rate are dropping just like the Warriors,.. gotta get back in the game with these picks.
1- Knicks -7.5 - Good home team vs bad road team, I'll take the home team all day with the spread.
I'm tailing the Knicks and Houston with you. Was 2-1 last night and looking for another team to bet on top of these 2. Knicks had a nice road trip I can't see them losing here tonight. I'm tempted to take the bulls tonight at only +7.5. Seems like a suspect trap game. Second night on the road back to back and taytum already a game time decision. Will probably rest. Thinking I'm gonna take the bulls here. I also like the early tip-off game for today, the New York Knicks had their winning streak ended by the Nuggets in their last encounter 2 days ago, I believe they'll get back to winning was, the Knicks defense have being their biggest strength, it should be an easy ride playing against a team that is offensively poor too, they are two contrasting teams. I'm going with the 1st Half handicap here as usual; New York Knicks -4 1st Half, @ 1.90 GL folks! |

That's some big margin win and statement from UConn, a 39 points difference, I'm not sure Houston can match that point difference in the first match tonight, but perhaps the 2nd game would give them a better opportunity to close that margin or surpass it better still. I wouldn't like to go down by the first point advantage to slackovic, it's tougher to expect a win when you lose the first advantage in 3 question differences fixture  If I win that basketball question, it will be based on pure luck. As I said before, I hate basketball and I don't follow it so I had no idea how to go with that question. I just answered the most obvious team. And judging by my last round against notblox1, it's definitely hard to win after being one point down in a round with three different answers. We had that situation and he won it 3-1. I think it was my worst round in the whole competition with only one correct answer. Luck is going to play a major part in the basket question, it's still a close one between the 3 teams, while UConn have a better fixture, at least on paper, compared to Purdue and Houston next opponents. The Formula 1 question is also still a yet to be decided one, Hulkenberg failed to qualify and Lance Stroll finished 9th, but Piastri finished just ahead of Russell 7th position in the Qualifying race. If Russell can overtake Piastri in the race tomorrow, then I should get that one, I think. March madness started good for the favorites, UConn with +39 followed by Houston's +40.
Purdue's lagging a bit, they won with +28. Let's see what the next round of games brings. I watched the second half of the Houston game, they could have extended their gap to around 45+, They gave up an easy layup towards the of the game and dribble the final 30+ seconds out. I'd say except one of these team loses, it's going to be between UConn and Houston. |

∆ CJ McCollum 15+ points / H. Jones 1+ stock / T. Rozier 20+ PRA @1.82 ∆ XHeat allows the third-fewest points in the paint this season, with the fewest PIP /L3. It will be a tough task for Zion or Valanciunas to score inside. That's why i am looking at Pels perimeter players, specifically CJ McCollum. He has scored 15+ points in 3/L5, but his shot attempts could increase due to Ingram's absence. His matchup is also favorable, as Rozier is not well-known for his defensive abilities. Herbert Jones has 17 straight games with at least one steal/block...hopefully, his streak will not end today. Roziers' PRA has been one of my favorite lines to bet on recently, especially when J. Butler was out for a few games. 20+ PRA in 10/L10, with an extra day of rest against a tired Pels defense, i'll take it. Damn! That was short by just 1 PRA from Terry Rozier, Your insight about the game was pretty much spot on! CJ MxCollum was the top scorer of the game with 30 points, and 6 triples, while Zion Williamson indeed struggled offensively every of his field goal attempt was heavily contested, the Heats' struggle offensively was what I'd cost you your bet. I lost mine too, it was an extremely low scoring game, way below my expectation, especially the Timberwolves vs Cavaliers game. |

Q2 has been rated, a lot of participants with 5/5 correct ones. I hope you won some money on this Israel always my football darkhorse in that Mediterranean region, but lately have been horrible both club and country. Got a draw on this one, but now ahead 3-1, so I'm feeling real good. Lots of 3/3 so far this round. So I know getting no losses yet doesn't mean a thing about my prowess. Even needed USA to score late, late on to get my point. So far useful to pick the favourites, not not as a dominant force. Such fine margins, really, though, I think leea will feel robbed. 3 of 3, someone is having a great round, 3 was your total score for the 1st round and 2 for 2nd round, so with 3/3 here, are you going for the BSFL record and smash it with a 10/10 ? ----------------------------------- UConn is up in the next couple of hours, and so officially does my match against slackovic too, while for the F1 question if the practice results are anything to go by, then I'd be glad because I'm taking that point. |

I got some picks for the upcoming games but not so sure if my win rate will improve, but I'm still trying and at the same time trying to stay discipline.
Miami -3
Ingram is out and Miami needs a win. Miami has 2 straight losses at home, they need to prevent that streak and win this game.
Lakers -7.5
Play-in spot is very important, and Davis might return, so they should win this game, hopefully by double digit.
Warriors -5..
Same situation with the Lakers, a win here is necessary. I like the match ups you've listed above, especially Miami Heat vs Pelicans, I'd have love to just go money line on this one, but the line at -3 is low and very reasonable. I'll taking the Over on total points too, it's currently at 209 for 1.80, combine with Over 206 points in Cavaliers vs Minnesota Timberwolves for 1.80, together for a double bet @ 3.24 Odds |

Alright Partizan is officially out of the race already because of the recent loss
Nope, not really - they are actually in a decent position. Valencia is currently in 10th position on equal points with 1 game less, and +1 point GD compared to Partizan - meaning if they lose, they will switch places and Partizan will go to 10th place. Valencia is playing Monaco away from home and it's expected they will lose the game. I'd say EA/ has the best chance - they have to win against Fenerbahce at home. If they lose, I think Partizan will be 10th. _______________________________ Q2 has been rated, a lot of participants with 5/5 correct ones. I hope you won some money on this I guess that's down to the fact there aren't many options for games, and most of us just had to follow the odds provided by the Sportsbook, I think there would have been decent questions if you had looked at some tennis as Miami Open is currently on, but it's never easy to scout all sports especially during the international break. For the Basketball, I actually went with Bayern Munich, losing to Valencia was the deal breaker, they had quite a come back in the 3rd quarter to bring the game to within 1 point, but they couldn't complete the turnaround. |

Mexico with a convincing 3-0 win over Panama, but it wouldn’t matter anyways because the question says both teams to win in regular time, and USA couldn’t come up with a win in 90 minutes of regular time.

mv1986, it looks like we have different answers on only 2 questions. It is absolutely going to be a challenging round. I hope that the surprise I expect in CONCACAF comes true.  The USA has 83% ball possession and conceded a goal against Jamaica in the first minute of the game. I am not really sure what to think about this, but the fact of the matter that currently you got the point for this question. Now will Jamaica be able to bring the lead home with just 17% ball possession? Obviously, I hope they don't, but I see the worst case coming for me. Passing accuracy for Jamaica is 52%, if USA can't turn this one around, then what is it that they can turn around?  USA conceded a goal in the first minute of the game, and needed an own goal in the last minute of the game to it into extra time, now they have gotten themselves a 3-1 lead, but that’s during the extra, I can’t remember if the question carries extra-time inclusiveness, I’d have to check and if it does, well, we then can say that USA have done half of the job already. |

ulven who leads 2 div gets a severe punishment since he didn't send the answers in time.
First time in my BSFL life IIRC, getting free points. Now the funny thing is if I win the round anyway on my own effort. Still, freebet to look forward to, but I can rest easy this whole week Even you beat me to it, I’ve been in the BSFL for 4 seasons, and I’m still yet to get a free pass, come on folks what’s my offense here, I need these freebies too I guess that’s the price for being consistent huh, because I’ve also never failed to submit early in the entire time either. |

Considering casperBGD is forfeiting his place, this means last place is known...does the prize go back to the pot or will be sent to the user ?? And what happens with the playoffs for this position, walkovers ?? And this affects Division 2 fixtures for the following season... Perhaps let him sell his place to avoid what's to come as this triggers so many changes ATM It's quite a tough one to see him so leave, he's one of core guys from the get go, from the very first season in division, what happens next has been explained by the organizers and just so you know it wouldn't affect anyone from Division 2, it was considered that he's lost all his fixtures and relegated as such, so there are just two more relegation positions in division 1 to battle out, and it will go on as usual with no disruption for the league. The game isn't just gonna be the same without him, I hope he'll drop by sometime soon, and I wish him all the best. |

The over ticket I had for the Magic game yesterday somehow landed as a winner with the total ending on exactly 204 points. I had low expectations after their slow first quarter until they decided to speed things up, dropping 50+ points in the next quarter. I'm aiming for three in a row with this next bet (under 233.5) on the Kings vs. Raptors. I see the Raptors barely hitting a hundred on their recent losses and the Kings can always slow down if they can start to pull away in the first half.  The Heat vs Cavaliers was play and catch up game like I anticipated, I expected the Heat to be the team playing most of the catch up but it was the Cavaliers that did for most of the game, they left quite late into the 4th Quarter before making my bet a win but that was due to the Cavaliers taking the lead and the Heat had to figure something out, but thanks to an home coming hero in Terry Rozier great statement in the last one minute plus change. Your Sacramento Kings - Raptors Under was also an easy win for you, the Raptor could hardly keep up the pace against the Kings. |

8 games later. Nice. Here are my picks.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Miami Heat - Cleveland Cavaliers (-2.5) - So many injured players on both teams, I guess I'll just take the home team and trust LeVert and Garland to step up their game.
Detroit Pistons - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-7.5) - This should be easy.
Toronto Raptors - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-9.5) - The Kings need this win to stay in the 6th spot. Might as well blow them out to have a good rest because they will be playing back-to-back road games.
Boston Celtics - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (12.5) - Yeah, I'll take that. Giannis is questionable but this is still a decent team.
Portland Trail Blazers - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-10.5)
It's hard to pick. The upper ranks are battling the underdogs. Most lines are -10 upward.
Anyway, good luck to everyone, I might just try during live games for the remaining ones. I like a couple of these match ups, I'll be going with the total points spread instead of ML or Handicap Miami Heat and Cavs being the match with lowest Over 206.5 line @ 1.87 is the most appealing to me, the Cavs are still without Donovan Mitchell but that's hasn't rendered a their offensive awful, so I'll expect them to give the Heat a run for their money, the Heat are without a couple their best defensive players in Bam Adebayo and Kevin Love, so I think the Cavs should have better scoring efficiency and the Heat forcing a keep up momentum. |

I understand how rounds likes can be meaning there is always a low margin of error allowed, but my usual personal interpretation of having a whole lot similar answers with an opponent is that we're either both shit or geniuses, so regardless which it turns out to be, I'm not alone and I only like round like this when I feel a bit confident about my decision in differences, just like in this case, I believe I have a better chance in the FRA - GER question, I'm also quite confident with my choices for the F1 (being H2H makes me more confident about it), the NCAA question is the only one I'd say even my optimistic state is one that I'd probably lose, so I can fancy my chances of a win (draw, at worse) Yeah, and my problem is that those answers that we have different are also pretty hard to research. I have no idea about NCAA so I just guessed that answer. I tried researching but just like someone already posted, it's impossible to find schedule for it. Fra - Ger is a friendly game so again it's hard to predict anything. And with the F1 question I just checked how drivers finished in the first two races. All in all, I don't like my chances but we will see. It's sport - anything is possible Yes, nothing is guaranteed of course, not until the end. France vs Germany of course is friendly, precisely the reason for my decision simply because it's National team friendly and I'm not expecting a high scoring game. NCAA fixture about the teams in question is not that hard to find, if you know where to look, the main problem is regardless of who the favorite is, just like a NBA all that matters to some side is to get a win and then NCAA is a more volatile sphere than the NBA. |

I can't believe that in this round again I have only three different answers than my opponent. Harkorede, if I counted correctly, the only different answers are the France-Germany question, NCAA question and the F1 question. I hate situations like this because there's hardly anything to comment.

^^ Great bet on this one. It's halftime and the score is 65-56. Wolves vs Nuggets is a great game, Over 215.5 for me at 1.80 odds. This could be a high scoring game for me. Although there could be defense playing played specially against ANT as he was on fire in last couple of games. But I doubt that they will or can stop ANT. Just enjoying the first quarter now, Jokic as well have scored some points this early. Usually he starts slow and wanted to involved his team first. So good luck to everyone. Thanks mate, but then It does feel like a lucky hit, going by the tempo of the game in the 2nd half. ————————————— A 63-points high scoring 1st Quarter has put the Nuggets-Wolves game on the right path to get your win as well, good luck the rest of the way |

Not much in the way of risk today but I didn't like the Minnesota matchup with the Nuggets or the Rockets and the Wizards. I felt like either of those games could go either way. A huge longshot might be betting the Wizards and Timberwolves to win, but for whatever reason I wanted to try and get a win instead of playing the odds today. Good luck!
San Antonio Spurs - Dallas Mavericks
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Dallas Mavericks Dallas Mavs looks like one of the solid teams available for today, and Doncic is available for this I’m banking of the Mavericks to take care of business early enough. I’ve got; Dallas Mavs -4.5 1st Half @ 1.85  GL! |
