Hello and welcome, and to everyone joining for the first time. Probably the youngest Superbru pool on forum, and I feel like has a different energy.

Also not supporting someone named Max but only because I'm a neutral and just always want someone else to win.

I have gotten over my Yuki infatuation though, so Max always on my picks no matter what (unless early races rule him out) and then I play roll the dice with the Gaslys, Piastris, Alonsos...

We're aligning in our thinking a lot this week -- scary! 3:1 was also mine and I needed Atalanta to at least get a goal back to give me the Close score I needed to level with famLFC, but it was not to be. Not complaining about the points at all, 15.5 away from Saint-loup's magnificent 300 is not so bad.


I can't find historical results, Superbru career page only shows Global ranking... top 50% in my first season, then top 2% in second season, then top 40% last season. Must be an alternating pattern, so I'm winning this pool this season? Haha

More tongue-in-cheek when I said that than anything else! I even feel the big six-digits is a stretch in this upcoming cycle, let alone this near-halving that more and more people are warming up to. Next year's always been the feeling for me, backed by little more than my faith in post-halving cycle.

Like SkepticalChemist says above, I understand why it's happening, but can't comprehend how people think what makes sense to them is the reason behind the market valuation when it's just that weight of speculation. As it is, already getting a number of "I told you sos" and I can't wait for a crash to quiet things down for a little while heh.

Gentlemen, the second leg of Last 16 rolls out on Tuesday, about 6 days from now. Submissions are open and there is now a mandatory field on the first page of the form for Pot B. Please enter your Bitcoin address here, so we don't have to chase you down for when it's time to pay out.


Please enter your picks for both events. Both event deadlines are kickoff, 20:00 UTC (forum time) on 5 March 2024. Late match submissions won't be counted. Remember to fill in bitcointalk usernames exactly as it is =)

Tagging all participants:

Waiting for you losers to tag me this weekend, everything is going to plan, including Atletico appearing in the finals. Shocking so many people picked United to cover handicap, only Trofo thought like me. Too bad Casemiro saved your scrawny ass, cryptofrka.


Blud, that team thought they could survive without new buys. Still think they made a mistake letting go St Maximin in what was apparently some kind of weird financial dealing, and hoping they could rely on guys like Almiron to keep on overperforming. I still like watching them though, QPR were horrible to watch...


Yeah, I checked every possible place under Sports specials (it's even bookmarked for me as I like to check the page). I placed bets every time this came out except this final, but I think it's possible I checked too late (before deadline though!).

Would have loved to get more free money, but I would have been absolutely torn as both chi20 and Hhampuz are my favourites picks in cup.

Well done capt'n on the yellow cap... just checking in to remind everyone that United are struggling against Forest, they'll probably be thankful it's just the FA Cup.

Leicester were fun to watch last night and so are Southampton tonight, but have to say unlike the Foxes, I don't recognise the Saints lineup! That aside, the sneaky, sneaky deflected Koumas goal aside, the match stats doesn't look kindly on the Reds but if you're watching the game, we're playing far better football. Course, I'm biased to high heaven but we're slicker off the ball, more aggressive, and somehow more nimble. We do look a shade more lightweight though, I'm just wincing every time there's a 50-50 as our kids look like they'll snap.

Second half more of the same so far...

Why are "we" worried though?

I don't have 2 coins, but even if I had 200 or 2000, I guarantee that would sell at the drop of a hat in whatever liquidity situation there is. Conversely, if I wanted to plop down money to buy 2 or 2000, I'm almost certain I could approach my P2P network and it'd get done fairly quickly.

Do you really think ETF sellers will sell if they don't have underlying Bitcoin? They'd just get IOUs.

Wow. When Georgian Maradona and Osimhen are properly fit and in form, they remind us why they devastated defences everywhere. 6-1 away win, and ensuring no one comes away with more than 1 point in this game. What a way to wrap up their week. And I'm still in the running for yellow cap (yay!) only half a point behind famLFC. Doubt we've got the same score prediction, so it's going to be really worth watching if you're not on the FA Cup ties

I actually asked for it last edition too, very few people added it, but you're right, I'll now make it a mandatory entry in the next submission form haha. Great tip, should have thought about it before, every round it's a headache trying to chase people to give them money!

^ Thank you for the help arallmuus, just let me know if you guys need help finding it later but as it so happens, el_che's finally replied to me with his username, so I've just only now submitted your names for the freebets. You should see them shortly!

P.S. Yes, it seems quite some hassle to chase some of you down! I'll start asking for wallet addresses after the semifinals, and will it be harsh if people don't reply after 2 PMs to socialise the winnings? justkiddingnotreally

hilarious making a silent strike, well done!

No Prem League tonight but can be fun to watch a throwback Prem on this Leicester-Bournemouth clash. Niggly affair so far, more injuries than goals, good to see Coady, Albrighton, Vestergaard... even... Chowdry (sp.). Just waiting for Vardy to pop up in the next leg, I guess!


Churrrr gawds Supremo, ye been so chocker meddling with health forgot where ye true chook bros are. So stoked dis Bruce is back whaling wit the rest of us. What dis about leaving fate to the big invisible wanker in the sky, you do us a solid and smash your razoos right ere man.

Hey, hey, free money incoming from Trofo, CLS63, Harkorede, slaman29 and cryptofrka! Helps me compensate all the times I'm giving free money to Igebotz all season haha.

Read the article, some bittersweet moments every season, some of my favourite people are no longer competing with me, but I welcome fresh meat to eat... or maybe they'll start chewing my tough meat! But if anything is to go by, half Div1 were people who fought tooth and nail to get there. It's going to be bloody next season.

P.S. I don't see the specials. I usually bet on Hhampuz and Chi20, not sure where to go this time, having won every special BSFL market.

Hmm. So a new ATH before the halving in just under 60 days? I'm getting used to seeing new milestones and trends broken within a halving cycle, but this to me feels a lot more significant than the "crash will never go below the previous ATH" trend I thought was pretty big.

Still feel like it doesn't suit Bitcoin to post an ATH before halving but maybe we'll buck the diminishing returns peak this one?

Man, I was a hair's length from restoring Bowen into my squad, but opted to save 2 points -- then he goes and does a brace within 8 minutes. Then again, it's not like I'm chasing down any other spots, so not sure why I feel bad about it.

Edit: Hattrick. Takes FPL flail and self-flagellates...

I'm keeping KdB though, spent enough to bring him on, and I know he's not 100% but he doesn't really need to be. Bonus? If City and him keep stumbling, I win elsewhere. How's that for a hedge, universe?

The time I actually think Roma can score 3 goals, they also can let in 2. Had to be a late own goal too, ruining my exact score and missing out on being just half a point away from 5th. Noticed that bullrunbro got the wooden spoon, which makes our current leader Saint-loup that much harder to catch.

Not sure what I was thinking when picking Lazio to lose away, but the match's just started, so hope I was right in backing the book!

I came in here just to post about that but should have known a Blue boy would get here first. I think it's a great development -- but it really begs the question of the FA on just when and how we'll ever get clarity. League table cannot be shifting throughout the season, depending on how clubs react, how they appeal, etc.

Now if you can just find a way to get DCL back on track scoring again... you can put this all behind you.

Luton gutted, naturally but Rob already says they can't be relying on deductions anyway.

Yeah, was ready to lose, Kelleher kept us in the game so often I thought our luck was going to run out. Thankfully, Chelsea's finishing was as bad as ours. It was just so strange that they didn't overpower our kids. You talk about killer instinct, City, Arsenal, even Spurs would have smelled blood and ripped our teens to shreds.

Still waiting for Sportsbet to put up a quadruple special for me to lose more money. My bet settled as a loss because there was no other market when I placed this bet (only 1x2). Made a fresh acca even though odds are lower, but FA Cup outrights still not available.



Yeah I sent a complaint I doubt I'm getting anything, it's really dumb but there's ONE provider if you want to get things the proper channel -- which isn't even in English. I get that they have time slots etc but this was a final; it's bad enough they hardly show much of the pre- and post-match talks etc. but resorting to Google for ET was crap.


Yeah, we're asking a lot from them. What's worse is these five 20-yr olds and below are probably going to have to keep playing for us in Europa, FA Cup and EPL. We just don't have enough fit/healthy players. Another ridiculous aspect here is that bookmaker odds for Liverpool outrights have gone down with each injury. Liverpool are very, very poor value bets now. Who would ever bet on a team half-filled with inexperienced kids or deputies for anything less than 3/1 (besides us)?

Good luck with bets, everyone, most exciting season yet for many teams? Chelsea and United around 20/1 to qualify for top 4...
