⭐⚽⭐ Rainbet's Bitcointalk Sports Fanatics League (BSFL) – 13000$ rewards ⭐⚽⭐

[buwaytress]

No sidebets for me this coming season, I've been battered on all fronts really...

Why not ? I’ve never had the privilege to take some BTC off you ? Come on, don’t be a coward, pick me and offer me something from the cup or LMS since you’re no longer among the BSFL elites 🤤

If there’s something I’m glad about for the new season is that, we didn’t get 2 full weeks of international football question and no Formula 1 question to kick start the season either, I feel bad for whoever my first opponent would be.

Fine, fine. Was almost sure we've done sidebets before but my memory can't even serve me well on regular things, never mind sidebets. You want a season-long affair or a first match of the season explosive start? I actually prefer the latter, but your call.

If it's season long, then let's do a fair "raw points" scored (SF in the table). If any of us gets a walkover from opponent, those points don't count? I want to say LMS is easier but once we get eliminated the points stop being tallied.

If it's an early sidebet, then shall we just go against each other recorded as a friendly? 1mbtc?

Don't forget our old tradition; going against the sheriff without putting something aside for the culture would be boring to hell. It's being hell here in division 2 - nobody knows about side bets. Lol 

Mama I can't escape the devil and my demons, you're on padi, since we're in the same division, it's easy: higher finish for 1mbtc? I'm poor!

I hate/love you guys Harko/Ige

Yeah, higher placement for 1mbtc is generous enough - I'm not all in for the money, just needed extra motivation to grind for the season. Hhampuz do you have something for the Sherrif?

[cryptofrka]

Can't wait for it to finally start so I can see where I am in Div. 2 with the hungry sharks 🦈. Trofo, when will you update the trophy winners? It's not for me—it's for my friend; he would like to see what happened last season

It has been updated. Now you can proudly show your logo to the world.
Regretfully, Trofo still can't do the same after 8 full seasons..

[goodpunt]

Really happy to have achieved a last minute promotion into Division 2!
My goal is to avoid relegation after coming from the depths of Division 4.
But a win rate of 58.8% should be enough to get at least a playoff place.....that should be my 2nd goal

Of course, we've had sidebets in the past, and you always end up winning most of them... And where is the fun if it has to end after just one week right ?, I agree that points scored it the best way to go.

So, 1mBTC for whoever gets most score points... I actually don't know the best way to deal with walkovers, because If someone gets walkover what happened to other person score for that week ? do we void both, probably going to be hard to keep track off especially if there is more than one, or we can just leave everything as it is, hopefully we'd not have to deal with walkovers.

Man, I don't like watching regular basketball and now you are making us follow the American high school basketball. Is anyone in the competition actually from the USA? I know that the high school basketball is popular there, but I don't understand why would anyone watch it when you have NBA.

[MAAManda]

The remaining fees left to be paid are:

Code:

MAAManda - 0,425 mBTC

I have sent the fee: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/f6cbdd5b4a8e2dbf04e8e08b6e6c69d00d1d7909c2e0c11b0a30be07535d3442

Tell me that you haven't tried watching NBA games without telling me that you haven't tried watching NBA games.  

To simply put, today's NBA is a joke. Well, at least the regular season part. No tension, no excitement, no proper defense. Just a bunch of 3 pts attempt.

Haha. OK, now you see how much I don't like basketball. I don't like yhe sport where a lot of the action is interrupted with a foul. And in basketball, every touch is a foul. It's like ballet. I hope thay I didn't offend anyone by saying this. I'm not saying that it's easy to play. It's just not watchable to me.

Goodpunt congrats my man—you’ve managed to win the playoff. I’ve just seen the playoff table, so we’ll have our battle again next season. You played well in S8, and luck has granted you a place in Div. 2 Sharks 🦈.

[hosemary]

Thank you so much Rainbet for sponsoring another season of BSFL.

cryptofrka, the second statement in "Season 10 announcement" in OP needs to be edited. You probably missed that part when you were updating OP for the new season.

• Just a side note, Season 9 isn’t yet confirmed. We go season by season and get extensions based on BSFL forum metrics. These are really good so there’s no reason to doubt BSFL will not reach Season 9.

[slaman29]

Damn time goes slow when we're looking forward to something 😁 I'm ready for any sports question!  14 mbtc + 6 mbtc cup + 10 mbtc LMS and maybe 8-12 mbtc rebuy.. Team Slissy going for the triple in season 9 😂

Damn bro, these are such tasty numbers to be enjoying if anyone was to sweep the whole board. I have been given a new chance to try something special this season and I will do my best to take it.

Give me curling, give me everything, mud wrestling and hamster fighting, bring it on!

American college sport is hugely popular. It's basically the place where you see all the future stars of NBA, NFL etc.
NCAA (or March Madness) is actually one of the more popular basketball tournaments in the world. People from everywhere fill out the brackets every year.

It's very tense, basically gives no room for error to any team participating and still has a part of 'old' basketball charm due to a different set of rules.

It's quite fun to watch - maybe you'll give it a shot now

These are the Divisions for season 9. Div 1 & 2 are final and will look like this.
Division 3 has one empty spot (SATWAT has been kicked out since his account is banned and we were unable to reach him inspite multiple PMs and tags) that will be filled from Div4 based on the ranking in Season 8. I am curently going trought the list to see who will take it since it requires 0.4 mBTC fee to be paid, same as every other team in Div 3.
That means there is still one spot open in Division 4, if you know someone who is maybe interested to sign up, now is the time.


Smartvirus and ajanwalker, you are kindly asked to make your club page, you can see examples when you click on any one of us that have it in the table.
Div 4 members you are all free to create your badges and club pages if you wish but it isn't mandatory as it is in top 3 divisions.

[buwaytress]

How different are the rules in NCAA? Wasn't aware. Not that I'm familiar with everything basketball... just the basics, like tennis. I do recall watching basketbal recently I think NBA, and I felt like I saw a couple of travelling instances allowed. Is that normal? I thought it just had something to do with no strategic advantage in play.

Yeah, higher placement for 1mbtc is generous enough - I'm not all in for the money, just needed extra motivation to grind for the season.

Done!

Sidebets are for fun, agreed. But at some point in seasons previous I felt like I almost overstretched, luckily win some lose some.

Of course, we've had sidebets in the past, and you always end up winning most of them... And where is the fun if it has to end after just one week right ?, I agree that points scored it the best way to go.

So, 1mBTC for whoever gets most score points... I actually don't know the best way to deal with walkovers, because If someone gets walkover what happened to other person score for that week ? do we void both, probably going to be hard to keep track off especially if there is more than one, or we can just leave everything as it is, hopefully we'd not have to deal with walkovers.

Done! 1mBTC for SD scores. But we'll have to void both sides for whoever gets a walkover (NOT if we are the ones forgetting to submit though). I only say this because it'd be hard to keep track of what the individual score for the benefitor would be. So I think, easy, just keep SDs, but then later if we had a walkover, we'll have to go to the sheet for the week and subtract the scores for that round.

Alright, it’s confirmed! That’s going to be easy I guess, we can easily access the schedule for any walkover

Come on, mafia where are the questions at ?

One player from Div 4 will take place of "Placeholder Div4" spot in Div 3.
EarnOnVictor will take a spot from that player in Div4.
Everything else should be settled and I really hope we will finish this as well before the deadline.
@Bitcoin Smith you have a PM, please look at it ASAP
