It looks like hahay has the advantage on the side bet...

And who wants to do a side bet vs me if the final is Barca vs Ajax?  Me Ajax for 30 bucks using Nitrogen odds?  I know I could just bet at Nitrogen but having action vs the regs itt is so much fun.  

I could probably pay out the escrow now. Barely been on any kind of social media or watched sports becauuse it still hurts. How did we not score at least two precious away goals? Mane, Salah & Milner should have scored. It just wasn’t to be.

I’m 99.9% sure hahay will win the side bet but I guess I better wait until it’s confirmed to release the escrow.

All right buddy, I guess I can claim this payout. I also won a bet tonight at 19/1 on Liverpool to qualify (25/1 on 4-0 at end of regular time was tempting but shame on me, I actually thought we would need to take this to extra time and/or penalties!) and thanks to that beast of a performance, my 9/1 bet on Liverpool to lift Ol' Big Ears is still alive!

This has been such a fantastic season, I don't care how it ends, the memories are incredible. Tell you what, Divock Origi is going to have new songs written about him. Latest cult favourite he's gotta be. Aren't we glad he decided to stay put and fight it out with the big boys?

Just finished watching post match, my provider didn't want til interviews so going to read it all tomorrow morning. I thought I saw Jon Arne Riise hugging Hendo (a fat version at least) and oh the scenes!

Can't sleep tonight LFC! You must be like still taking the rafters off with the Kop!

Congrats to buwaytress who won the side bet.

I was very sorry this time, first changing the prediction that I initially pick LFC, but after knowing Salah and Firmino did not play because of injury, I fully bet for Barca. Lol!

This is an amazing comeback and LFC deserves it, with this result even I'm sure LFC is able to get the CL trophy this season.

I will get a bitcoin address off buwaytress tomorrow to send the funds. I’m shaking atm, I’m in shock.
I will get to Madrid, I dunno how yet, looking at flights, hotels right now. I might even drive

From Paris down to Turkey, We’ve won the fucking lot

I've never had a fav. team in EPL but tonight Liverpool won me over. Not only from the stands but also from the pitch, sweet baby jesus what heart they showed tonight. Happy for the lfc fans in here

They played good enough on the first leg, so it's not really surprising for me to see how they beat Barca 4-0.
Liverpool is really famous for a night like this, don't know why but the atmosphere is really dramatic. I believe that's what makes the player played the way they did last night.

Poor Barca.

[buwaytress]

@LFC I couldn't go to Madrid even if I had the means... tied to the hip to a kid with no one else to turn to, so I'm going to have to support from the TV on 1 June, and I'm sure this forum wants someone rooting on their behalf, it looks like it's just going to be you. I want you to have the sidebet, I know the hotels + tickets are going to be obscene (I almost died paying for a Europe Semi!) and it probably won't end up to be much but if it even helps a little, I'll be pleased.

A nice photo of drunken Reds would be sweet

By the way, we should congratulate Trofo. He has an unassailable lead in the pool with only 2 games remaining (6 points left to play for). There's quite a bit to play for for 2-5th spots, but 10th and below are already out of contention.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I’ve paid £3000 this morning for flights from UK to Madrid & a hotel for 3 nights.
That’s for 2 people.

I took it out of savings, not spending any bitcoin.

buwaytress what is your bitcoin address? I will release the escrow & post txid here.




Edit - Not sorted 2 x tickets yet but I’m on to it.

Nice, should be a great evening and once in lifetime memory.

The celebration scenes on TV looked amazing last night, I got the chills and can't imagine what it has been on the stadium. Hope, I will be able to watch a game like that live somewhere in the future.

edit: Thanks man. If you didn't wrote it I wouldn't even realize that my first spot is guaranteed. Nice (load the video on youtube, you know the one I am talking about  )

Congratulations to Trofo being the winner and tokeweed the second, as for the third to fifth place the fight is wide open and it will only conclude on the day of the final match.

I have a question for the final match, if the game ends draw and then one team win in additional time which score is taken , the regular time or the one in extra time or penalties ?

[LTU_btc]

Probably it was best semifinals in Champions league history, despite that my team got eliminated. I just can't remember nothing similar in all years that I'm watching football.
And these semifinals cost me lot of money lost on betting... And now I probably have only theorical chances to reach top 5 in Superbru prediction pool. I need exact prediction of final and 0 points from players above.

Here is quote from superbru rules:

What happens if there is a penalty shootout?
Your pick will be scored at the end of regular time or the end of extra time if the match is drawn after regular time. If a match goes to penalties it will be scored as a draw.

[leea-1334]

I cannot believe my team is in the final! I knew it was going to be tough, we all knew it was going to be tough,,, but who would bet on Lucas Moura to get a hattrick? This team is full of heroes. Son for knocking out City almost all by himself, even Llorente for scoring with his neck or whatever,,, how many late goals have we had this campaign 5? Not to mention the VAR overrule that saved us from City,,, this is an amazing time to be Spurs fan.

Now we meet Liverpool in June. The best team in the world,,, for sure. We lost to them in the league but can we make an upset in Madrid? Whoever wins, deserves.

Well done to all you winners, by the way. Good job.

[buwaytress]

@LFC There is no person I'd trade places with in this world for anything, but if I had to choose, it would be you in Madrid come June.

Anyway, we got the draw I least preferred, but it's still a final and it's still a fight. Two comeback kings come to do battle. No one is going to expect anything straightforward now, eh? The perfect stage would be if every person is fit too. A final without Kane or Salah just wouldn't be the same.

I feel sick with nerves now. We better win this final, we’ve had too much sadness & losses in finals in recent yesrs.

The entry fee on the side bet was 0.0015BTC & there were 7 of you so 0.0015 x 7 = 0.0105BTC

I bumped it u to 0.0115BTC as a thank you to everybody for trusting me.

Here’s the txid - https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/2bcd400ea276e8de8e16773ee3041a0eb57f1f4a7b5bc71cb5d983000d605969

And fucking come on LFC, let’s win this!!!!

@buwaytress - Taking a while to confirm. Everything OK with that bitcoin address, it’s all lower case?

I know how you feel. I'm giddy but I haven't fully shrugged off last year's defeat... and then of course we still have to win against Wolves this Sunday, but I'm glad the boys don't seem to be playing with any pressure or nerves (Pep was right on that one).

Thanks very much for the tx, and for taking care of this LFC, it's well received... I guess native Segwit addresses are all lowercase, I actually only noticed that now =[

And yes friggin LFC!! I want more memories!

I don’t use SegWit addresses, must be why I was confused. Great stuff any way. Glad to be of service mate.

Edit - Buddy - From google search results - If you have Legacy address then it means that you will be using addresses starting from 1… SegWit address means that you will be using addresses starting from 3… or bc1… (one is for P2SH nested SegWit and the other is for native SegWit).

Ah nice.  I got some BTC's to pay some side bet debts in the forum.    I know I owe LTU_btc some for an F1 side bet and I feel I'm gonna owe Trofo some this Sunday.  Lol.  I really fear for City.

[Hhampuz]

I had a dream that the finals will be a banger! 4-2 LFC calling it now, let's go! (soon, lol)

6 goals in the final ? Hasn't happened from 2007 I believe when Liverpool drawn Milan from 3-0 to 3-3 and won that trophy. Those were beautiful days for soccer.

[Trofo]

I feel I'm gonna owe Trofo some this Sunday.  Lol.  I really fear for City.

It's other way around for me. I am thinking City will win their fixture rather comfortably. Maybe a bit tough game with result like 0:0 in half time and 2:0 City win by the end. As I already wrote somewhere both City and LFC have done some incredible things this season in the Premier League and they both more than deserve to be Champions. I have already put aside this week signature campaign payment so I can pay off my bet without hassle 

And what to say about Europe. 4 English teams in finals and that is even without City (arguably the strongest English team).

As I remember, you don't owe me nothing lol . Because I was wrong that Ricciardo will have more points than Verstappen and you've been wrong that Red Bull will have more points than Ferrari
