So... Machač never stood a chance against Sinner. He lost straight 2-0 and with that result I guess I have to admit another defeat by one point. That freaking fourth round in a row that I lost by one point. I can't believe... And it's only after two days.

This was easier than expected, lost my bet but at least 3 points are here. It does get a bit stupid when we have almost all the answers same.

I even answered wales-poland question wrongly just because I was afraid to loose point. I knew you will go for Wales due to the odds but I had a feeling Poland is gonna get that. It was a true 50/50 game so I decided to go safe way. Same way with Alcaraz, I am actually thinking he will loose to Dinitrov but it just isn't worth it to risk and go for that answer when I know everyone will have Alcaraz to pass.

Medvedev won the match so that gives me 1 point on the tennis question, luckily I used VAR on this question😁

Warriors won their 2nd match but again Curry scored only 17 points which gives him a total of 34 points in 2 games.. This will sure be below 75 points…

Made a lot of mad decisions this round because i was pretty occupied and didn't have anytime for research. You're already leading me with 2 points and that's massive.  Well I can't hope for any better this round again, I will be looking out onto next round.  Goodluck to you mate!

Seems like I was too harsh on Golden State Warriors, I knew Curry was going to have a hard time getting 75 points, he was very far from both games to get the 25 average he needed so I got that right, but picked GSW to win less than 2 games.

Apparently even if I submitted on time I would have only 1 right answer so far anyway. Deserve to lose, I don't know what's going on this season seriously, nothing is going right

What to say? Congrats on your winning. I guess my path is the fight not to get relegated. But hey, relegation is not that bad. Look at Southampton. They got relegated last season and they already practically secured a promotion playoff. With two games less than Leeds and Ipswitch, they can even fight for a direct promotion.

[cryptofrka]

Yeah, it's weird that Curry's on 34 points in 2 GSW wins. He's almost certainly going under.

Same way with Alcaraz, I am actually thinking he will loose to Dinitrov but it just isn't worth it to risk and go for that answer when I know everyone will have Alcaraz to pass.

Yep, same here. Sometimes I just go with the flow, the odds just aren't there to risk with such things.

I did go with Poland expecting most would go with Wales, these risks make more sense.

Actually, I wanted to go with Poland in that question. But then I remembered that Wales beat us (Croatia) in last qualifications so I decided to go with them instead. I just checked both teams and honestly, even if I did the research, I'm not sure how would I answer it. They are both pretty equal teams and the result of the game shows that. Wales even had four shots on target, while Poland had zero.

41 points is pretty much doable for the baby face assassin imo, I wouldn’t rule that option out just yet, he’s been doing a lot of facilitating the plays especially with Draymond Green continuing is all season long menace and getting ejected yet again just after 3+ minutes into the game.

——————————————————

I don’t know if I’m the only interested in catching Zverev vs Marozsan tennis match live, I’ve spoken about the young lad a couple of times, he’s an interesting player and I think he should be able to stuck around for a while especially if he’s able to rack up a couple of ATP points that would have not to needing to go through series of qualifiers to play even in an ATP 500 event.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Poland plays horrible football, i dont know how they do to play that ugly football with so many good players in the squad, and also i dont know how they always manage to reach big tournaments.

Waiting for the weekend and the start of the leagues again.

Happy easter to everybody.

[Igebotz]

Well I just noticed that if only I guessed correctly on question #3, the score would have been 4-1 and this round would be settled instantly after that. Dang, imagine setting up a record on fastest settled round for the season by settling it on tuesday !

I still hold the record for the fastest round against buwaytress - our round lasted only 24hrs I remember.

Lol, we both got relegated on the same season and now we are staying low on this division for 2 season straight. Planning on staying for the 3rd season in here?  Looking at my current statistics, I might be staying here next season if I dont start winning atleast 3 out the next 5 rounds

Man we're both stuck here till whenever! I started on the wrong side this season.

Interested in the result as I needed that kid to win to beat darxiaomi. Too bad he lost -- he from your country or you just follow tennis closely? I now need Napoli to do their job Saturday afternoon, otherwise game over before Sunday.

Was it against you? I think the record win/lose was even quicker. It was only several hours after the deadline. I'm not even sure now if it was our round, but yeah ours was over before we even really got started. Premature um finish.

Pre-injury Curry could have done that for sure but after the injury, highest he has ever got so far was 31 points. He got 60 points once in February though so although it seems unlikely, he might be able to get atleast 41 points on the last game. Although I got him under 75 points for my answers as well, I wouldnt count this as another point yet until the 3rd game is played

Dang, if only I got point from that one, the record would have been like 5 hours after the deadline

Nah, I did expect he'd have 30+ against Hornets though - they are one of the worst teams in the league.
Even if the game goes into OT (which is highly unlikely), I don't think he can reach 75+.

Yes it was the quickest 1mBtc side bet I ever won in this pool.

@arallmuus playing against you is so stressful man- I get notifications every 30 minutes

Dont tell me you got bitten by poisoned Snake again?
Division 1 is very strong this year, anyone can lose a round, only jayce, vd309 and chi20 are holding, but not for long.

Why dont you risk it more and tell us your experience?  



I dont know where to ask so I will ask everyone here, do you know if anyone is preparing EURO 2024 prediction pool?
June 14 is not so far away.

No, we're not compatriots, He's from Hungary, If I'm not mistaken.

I would say perhaps I follow tennis a bit closely (thanks to BSFL), however he just happen to caught my attention some months back against a red hot Hubert Hurkacz and he put him on his toes all game long, and I've seen done that a couple of times after that, just that the qualifiers often eventually tell on these players during the main tour. I'll be on the lookout for him the rest of the season I'm sure especially with the season heading to Europe soon, he should be able to participate more.

The penalties for people who don't send predictions are really very heavy. I still remember that I lost 4 points because of forgetting about making prediction last season. I have set a weekly alarm on my phone since then and I don't think that I will ever forget about making prediction unless a bad thing happens to me. I finished the league in 6th place last year. If I didn't forget about making prediction there would have even been a chance for me to achieve my 2nd championship in a row.

Season 3 - Archival post

Division 1

•POS•	••Username••••	•PLD•	•W•	•D•	•L•	•SF•	•SA•	•SD•	•PTS•
1	vd309	15	9	1	5	66	52	14	28

14	cryptofrka	15	3	6	6	49	50	-1	15

Yes the penalties are significant! It's obviously losing the chance to win 3 points and then getting -1, which is a spread of potential 4 points. You finished the season with 24 points including -1 and I finished the season with 23 points including -1. If I submitted (which was quite impossible for me that round), a win would have given me the 3rd rank. 8th and 3rd is a massive difference in the payout. But ok, it is still possible to play an ok season with one failed submission although I do think that there can be circumstances in life where someone just can't send it out. But we still need a fixed set of rules that apply to everyone equally. It's the only way forward. 

[Harkorede]

Same way with Alcaraz, I am actually thinking he will loose to Dinitrov but it just isn't worth it to risk and go for that answer when I know everyone will have Alcaraz to pass.

And there you go! Weren't you right after all ? I guess goin for an "Alcaraz - No" would have been a biggest difference maker for anyone that chose to go down that route, I just guess there wouldn't be many given the just concluded tournament. However, does that mean it is Sinners' title to lose now ? because I guess he should be the heavy favorite of the remaining participants.

We already mentioned once that there is a possibility to postpone game upfront if you know you are absolutely unable to submit. For instance you are going on surgery or something we can help you out but not if you are going on holiday and feel lazy to fill it out on mobile. It will never get into rules officially since people could abuse it but you guys can always contact us on individual basis.

Yeah, we both discussed it - shame that it's too big of a risk to take.
If I was safe in Division 1, maybe I would have - but then again when I tried to play it the 'safe' way at the end of last season I had the worst batch of results and ultimately got relegated.

It's just a game after all and going by the feeling is probably the right thing to do.

Not that it matters since I forfeited this round, but this was the first time in a while I thought about picking Alcaraz. How many times can this young guy afford to lose on these 'warmup' games before Grand Slams?

No use playing safe, but it's always pointless to take too big risks knowing your opponent is very sure to go the safe bet. The strategy is to draw on these things and pick the one different where you're confidently sure.

Don't take my advice tho I am winless in BSFL.
