I fked up. Winning the derby pointless, losing 2 of the last 3 games spelled disaster and all I needed was a draw, but my opponents keep showing up.

Well done CLS63, this was the perfect season, won by a single point, on the last kick of the season. Superb grit, this was arguably more difficult than Season 1. We go again for S3, jeremypwr will relish it am sure, and we have really dangerous Div2 winner coming...

Cro2: you guys really want Ige huh. You knew he was coming down so you stayed...

So if I understand it, we're free, and taking sidebets? Who wants to play Div1 Arsenal, just tag this, 1mbtc?

And can we get another one to go against me:
- 1mbtc on LFC_Bitcoin to progress in cup
- 1mbtc on cryptofrka playoff progress?

@Igebotz @Trofo indeed, indeed. Div2 is the best, I'm just never going to be bad, er, good enough

Freiburg is going to really cost me, huh. Problem is, be stubborn or change my ways and miss out on potential great points when they finally wake up?

Also, new to me now I'm following Bundesliga is that Kane's "hattrick" isn't really considered one in Germany. Read the rules and it sounds pretty complicated (but I understand the concept of wanting a "purer" form of a hattrick).

Pack of 3 will have to do for you, Kane.

Wooo, I was so sure of another Chelski loss, but I felt okay, at worst, they would grind out a scoreless draw, and I risked Question 8 by choosing Spurs to win for a total of 4 home points.

Liverpool made life hard as usual but Chelsea helped me on and got themselves down to 10 men. Son kept Spurs alive, and everything closes out on a nervy win for me on that question.

I don't know how rare it is for me to switch games watching Arsenal and Chelsea when Liverpool aren't home safe but BSFL keeps making me do odd things haha. Great day!

4-4 you and me, mitchr4, Real Madrid left to decide if I win or not, because CLS63 is level with me on points, perfect end to the season whatever the outcome, good luck CLS63!

Little Mouse, yeah I think a few of us found that out the hard way (and hopefully you won't repeat the lesson). As Slissy says, live is the best, and acca/multibet. I'm still guilty of throwing freebets on single ML outcomes but these are typically matches that are near-guaranteed to happen.

Don't like accas? Then throw in a live leg on super low odds (3-0 up at 80 mins usually are 1.01).


It's super boost too, which you get every Newcastle match. I took this one easily, nothing ambitious, just to cover 3x stakes on my 5-leg multis.

Lazio don't know how to win, really, but you have to feel sorry Juve keeper (man until today I could never spell his name without copy pasting). First he did a Karius (or David James depending on which error-prone era we like), but Sassuolo returned a gift goal to parity. Then just as it looked like Juve were fighting for a point, you parry a shot for an easy goal... then wrap up the present with a corner freekick your teammate then passes into your empty goal.

Sunday football classics.

Well, there you have it. We all said what we wanted, was it a bump in the road or was it the crumbling of an empire, but Max not only retook the win, he smashed it with 19 seconds, and got the fastest lap.

Judging from the pool, we all didn't think different, either, haha. Sucks to get 13.5 points and still drop a place, sigh.

Well, well, Ige you just ruined it for the poor few who went for Guirassy.

I promised not to check until tomorrow but couldn't help myself. Epic fight for promotion in Div2 and I'm actually incredibly surprised that I'm still not out of this round yet. I'm doing my best to lose, don't worry CLS63...

Not sure what I was thinking picking Wolves as the standout in my acca today. They were playing away, they can't score for crap, and it's Wolves. I just thought Hwang was on a streak, and then Pedro scores a man down I thought the gods of football forgave me but the draw actually seems a little harsh on Luton.

See if United can outdo everyone else today though. I have silly money on Burnley today just because.

Right, I'm now 1 win and 2 insurance freebets on my first 5-leg accas of the season. Slapped freebets on Milan upset today and went in on another one featuring Wolves.

Oh and this little $15 Newcastle freebet gem too in case we've got casino heads.



You have not, then, been introduced to the horrors of Conference League, the scene of a recent comeback win from 3 goals down by a Bosnian team making its debut on hallowed UEFA grounds...

I hear there are crazy scandals in wagyu competitive kitchenry...

No wins yet here, very sad. I have, of course, had sweet hits this early season but none featured here as I didn't feel they were that great value but City at home is always a great opportunity if you consider how hard it gets for them at times.

I'll share exact odds as am out and couldn't login book. But at Sportsbet it was roughly 19/1 IIRC with a boost.

100 units at Sportsbet on Forest to fight the impossible and WIN vs City.

Update stats later today.

I can't believe I've not played MajSev this season yet, incredibly busy this slipped my mind, even seeing two winners walk away with all that money, so put my picks in now finally for a shot.

Think I really need to say that this is the best version of MajSev yet. Liked the graphics on old one, but love the layout of new oone.

Yeah I think the worse here is a draw, and they were expecting bad results with the layoffs. What clues me in, though, are the odds. Despite supposedly maimed and even relegation favs. their odds in the starting season matches have rarely climbed above 25/10. So despite what Bo or Helder say, their fans must feel that they were point to win that they didn't... and that pressure changes things overnight.

Of course, I also recognise I'm spouting absolute bullshit =)

Gladbach, being objective, does seem the one at likelier risk.

I see you're digging deep into the thick of it on your maiden season, to be fair, participating like a veteran. I'm not anywhere near contention for anything in these classic pools but I will agree research won't help you much if you're not familiar with the league anyway. Watch a few games, for a few teams, probably gives you a better understanding of outcomes (but no scores) -- not that it works for me, but at least one should enjoy the games, if not able to get the scores!

Midway through the season gives you a better picture, anyway, there're just far too any points left to play for.

It's much more functional than my draft version. I think we should just work to simplify if possible, before introducing (or thinking of) new functionality. I like it personally, great job!


It's definitely a possibility. There are pros and cons:

Pros

• Much more variety of markets
• More diverse results and tactics

Cons

• Each additional market creates a layer of manual verification, multiplied by # of players, increasing the risk of error
• typical over/under, BTTS odds have a much narrower odds range than 1x2, so points difference would be very small

Many, many seasons ago I played on indie fantasy that resembled classic FPL, but included weighted bonus, which was inverse to the cost of the player. e.g. Haaland scoring a goal is worth only the basic points, while Solanke scoring a goal is worth basic point with a higher multiplier.

I imagine a fairer prediction system that mixes Superbru classic system of base points for scores, but with a weighted multiplier based on likelihood of the predicted score. And you can even add layers of risk (pick a score, pick a scorer, pick an assist, or pick the route to the outcome).

I'm a huge fan of rewarding risk in all kinds of games, sportsbetting or even just gaming in general =)


You think like I do. Guaranteeing to be in top 10 is not good enough -- you'll likely fall to 15th with nothing. I think it's wise to aim for big points in games you're confident in (BVB was that risk for me) and then hedging with others. It worked for vd309 for sure, now he has to repeat is. cryptofrka also won big. Generally non-sustainable over 40 games but we have only 10 Matchdays in UCL so you need to aim for variance, not consistency. Is how I feel!


joker_josue all credit for sheet, my version will forever not be shown haha. Hhampuz credit for helping negotiate the deal with Rollbit.com

I hope it's not cliché to say we actually enjoy doing this -- it's just fun to see the forum revolve around many engaging topics.

NOT go the Full Distance 5

No rain? So we can all lock our picks in and to hell with it right?

P.S. Big boys at Sportsbet office put their picks in also this week in jeremypwr's prediction thread (not that you guys are the ones needing reminders haha).


Bets? I'd do that any time most of the time. Superbru? Max is the Haaland of F1. You don't pick him, you lose. Sainz repeats a shocker and we'll have people considering switching camps though... but agree, RB bad form rather than blip would be way more interesting.

I had this discussion a few times too and only once a year ago was it serious. I urge you, if you hold Bitcoin, to have this talk.

I advise underestimating your loved ones too when it comes to Bitcoin inheritance. I've experimented, with siblings of the same age, partner, and children. They all either forgot, didn't understand (and in the case of the one person I thought was the best, he even lost his private key and could not correctly explain recovery anyway).

I still worry, but important exercise to repeat and practise recovery with whomever it is you trust.

It's not much for me, but it's a year or two of relief for the family back home at today's prices.

Remember, it's not enough they know, and not even enough for "education" -- judging from the many so-called crypto users out there who lose their wallets. It must be something practical. Video walkthrough. Guide. Underestimate.

Friday is going to be busy, so many picks to make, solittle time to sit down and review potential effects from European competition but I decided to enter these picks early. Am provably (not probably? haha) going to be stubborn and stick by Freiburg (1-1 right now at HT away in Greece), why, because Doan must wake up!

Wise to go for another Mainz horror show?

M8 Lazio-Atletico draws weren't calculated correctly (comma intead of dot on the decimal, damn European autocorrect). cryptofrka now shares the lead with vd309 ooo...

So what do you guys think of Pot B format? Was it too difficult? Improvements?

I feel like only very few users didn't understand the rules so I think we don't need to fix the form.

I saw a variety of tactics but it should be noted that different tactics bring results reliant on actual match performances. Largely, the first match day gave predictable results, so safe tactics bring points, risky ones do not. Some highlights from MD1:

• The best performers only doubled their stake and a bit in a round where favourites dominated.
• The pool of 50 displayed a tendency for odds of below 2/1.
• Unsurprisingly, the biggest favourites also attracted the fewest players: Real Madrid-RS Belgrade (7) and Barcelona-Antwerp ( 8 ).
• Arsenal's better value odds didn't attract people, either, with only 7 staking on this game.
• AC Milan - Newcastle, despite tight odds, attracted 22 players.
• PSG-BVB was the most popular match, with 25 players staking. Interestingly, the majority of stakers (13) thought BVB would win. This was the pool's favourite pick for an upset.
  
• Only 23 users ended up with more than 10 points.

Also, to try respond to posts I didn't before (sorry guys, not ignoring you at all).

@Trofo: Initially I really wanted to do this the way you suggested. A bankroll, that you can grow, winnings can be staked. This is the proper and chaotic way, but it's a nightmare because of form limitations (I have to check 50 players each with different bankroll to see nobody overstaked haha). But we'll keep experimenting!

@cryptofrka: Red card rescinded. Your total now correct. I liked your comment ex-forum about free forms. Play any "market", any combination, even parlaying outcomes. Again, limited by form functionality... and we also try not to become a Google form sportsbook haha.

@Mahdirakib nice catch, OP corrected!

Man, Liverpool just loves playing with fire, don't they, LFC_Bitcoin? I think this season, bet on them live after they concede...

Anyone else enjoying football in Europa League? Not the most illustrious names on display but there's still a lot of exciting football if you look. Didn't take any specials but have been having some good runs with 5-leg accas lately, hitting som and getting insurance back. Put another one on today with some favourites and so far so good.

Here's my latest winning ticket courtesy last night's footie:
