Well @imarios, Im hoping that you would win this round against @slaman29. Help me secure my ticket to the 1st division ! Gotta spread atleast 4 points apart to win my ticket for promotion

Of course I'm hoping for the opposite reaction lol

1 point up for me but I'm not being trusting any of the early results. I have seen to many 2-0 and 3-0 leads end up becoming losses that the only 'safe' win is 4-0 with 4 different questions to go.

We have only one different question, so it's gonna be a long long week

[mv1986]

Guys what does everyone think about the game Romania - Slovakia and the fact that both know a draw would be in quite the best interest for both teams?

Remember: "Disgrace of Gijón"

The over/under is quite tempting, but given that nobody could do anything about it if they decide to pass the ball back and forth, the value of that bet is probably close to zero. Bu I wonder whether this is really going to happen, whether two teams abandon any competitive spirit for that game and make sure it will end in a draw. Wouldn't the backlash be a hundred times harder than 42 years ago? Times have changed and the whole world can see it. Would even their own fans be proud of that? Any Romanian or Slovakian around here?

Eh, just realised my matchup is with casper. So I didn't need to rush and worry about submissions. False joy at the first question then. Shold have attempted the freebet run instead.

Famous game, was barely opening my eyes then when it played out, but yeah, we've seen disgraceful games like that over the years. Just with a lot more acting to cover up the obvious shame. They've since played games like that on the same time (but you know, even at half time if a result is similar, and no chance whatsoever, both teams in their stand would probably still play a draw, just much less overtly).

Countless Premier League games played last 10 minutes or so satisfied with a draw. Even Liverpool-City are guilty of that. Not a huge impact, but nevertheless, impactful. And I can't remember but when Liverpool played a B side, losing to their opponents, the opponent's relegation or cup rival (can't remember which) complained. I actually agreed here. Disgrace never to play your best to win.

Years before Gijon, an English football team delayed a kickoff on purpose, so that another important match could play out first. Now clubs get punished even for 1 minute delay, as was recently the case with BVB.

Watch this 2013 game: https://youtu.be/bDtljx7UPmY

Modern fans. Palace was leading their game, ensuring that if Huddersfield and Barnsley keep at 2-2, both are safe from relegation. When the players finally understood around 1:30. Watch them all just refuse to play. Defenders AND attackers telling the keeper not to play the ball. And then ref blows whistle before 4 minutes injury time is up as I guess even he understands it's over.

Fans invade the pitch, both fans celebrating (despite Palace result actually not confirmed haha). No yellow cards. Does that answer your question about how times have changed?

[Trofo]

It doesn't need to be fixed or some agreement. Stakes are high and it is probably enough just to not take extra risks. You can't fault the teams for that.

That being said Ukraine - Belgium first half was played like everyone was happy with a point while Slovakia and Romania went for it. Expect that to change in the second half.

I hear rumors that draw is arranged but results was changed from 0:0 to 1:1.
I dont know if this was fixed match but draw was good for both of them and they didnt have to take risks getting injured and losing points.

Snake you are finally back to civilization 
Nothing much changed in second half, and Belgium is going on France in next stage.

Just wow man... but I believe there is nothing you can do about it right? Are there any rules in place? Today the backlash would probably be bigger, but if the worst comes to the worst, I guess it could happen all the time again.


It's insane how all favorites are failing. I have had some over/under correct and each time combined it with the win of a favorite team. Well, no need to tell you guys that many of the results were totally unexpected. European Championship is so different. Can't be compared with any club competition at all. Now Georgia is leading against Portugal although Portugal has a lot of good players on the pitch. Even if Portugal doesn't need the win, you would still think that there is no way they can win that. It's not like Darmstadt could beat Leverkusen because Leverkusen doesn't need the points anymore...

Edit: Georgia leading 2-0. I understand Portugal has passed the group stage already, but I can't see how this is possible. They are ranked 75th in the world, first European Championship and lead 2-0 against Portugal. It makes no sense.

[slaman29]

I really am ruined by EURO in Last Man Standing but also in BSFL. I feel like as the seasons go I am getting worse and worse.

Thankfully imarios is just as shitty as me, we both have different answers a lot, but both got 1 point out of 4 so far.

Will be good to sit on weekend and count our points

[cryptofrka]

I'm finally having a decent start to the round but Saint-loup is on 4/4.

Still, NBA draft was yesterday, went as I expected - 1 USA player in the top 3 (2 French players as no. 1 and 2.).
In the NHL draft I'd be surprised to see more than 1, I actually expect no Americans this time around. This is a point where I hope to reduce the gap and I can still theoretically hope for a win if Copa goes my way.

If it does not, I might draw again - which would be so infuriating.

[slackovic]

I just remembered that we have also a BSFL round this week. I'm down 2-3 against chi20 which is great given that I really didn't do absolutely any research on the questions. It would be great to finish the last two rounds in division 1 with two victories.

[Trofo]

BSFL taking a back seat to LMS as expected. Traffic should gradually shift back here as more and more people gets eliminated there.

Anyway new article is up, a bit delayed due to holidays at Sportsbet office. Started to add a bit of LMS content inside as well.

[buwaytress]

South Africa already through to the final (no surprise) but it was probably quite close and they did a DLS thingie which means they didn't actually proceed the entire match, they just used some algorithm to determine S Africa were getting points at a higher rate. (I actually don't know what I'm talking about).

India's not looking particularly great, about halfway through their batting time but interrupted by rain. Not staying up to see that one in my rubber match. GL everyone, except those below and above me. Need you all to lose for me to keep my place in Div1.

[darxiaomi]

Well seems like i dont fully understand the dinamics on the Cricket tournament because i selected two of the same group (it was not in that way when i do my little research), so im already one down because jayce has one of the correct finalist.

Dificult to overcome.

Well, Im not really in good shape either as of now. I might lose point on question #6 though so that would leave me 1 point behind @ulven potentially. I totally got no clue about this NHL NBA draft at and it looks like its currently 1 being drafted so yeah even if I dont get a point from this, Im hoping that it would be 2 more americans on NHL but it seems that wont really happen

Anyway you might wanna watch volleyball game between Poland and Brazil. You had Poland to lose on quarterfinal and current score is 1-1 after two sets.

[ralle14]

Well, this round ended quickly for me after Panama came out on top against USA with the help of an early red card in the first half.

My opponent @hakan2217 is popping off, and his team going up by another point guarantees my loss. Congrats on winning your needed three points to avoid the relegation zone.

[Harkorede]

I had Poland to reach the finals, so, for me, it's one down, one to go!

Poland would be playing either France or Italy, most likely France... I don't know if Poland will be the favorite in that game, but I knew Poland were good in the qualifying stage, they were the 2nd best team so hopefully they can make the finals, that'd likely guarantee my 3 points for this round, ahead of the final match of the season.

Poland is the favorite to win the tournament, the odds is now 2 for them to win..


Damn USA!! The red card to the USA after 18 minutes ruined the whole match… Team Slissy is in trouble and is down by 1 point , this looks bad😂 Switzerland - Italy the odds are 1.5 on under 2.5 goals, I hope it will be a 1-0 0-1 or a 0-0 match so i can win a point😂

Good luck mitchr4 😁

[cryptofrka]

Yeah, but we take extra time into consideration as well

______________________________________

I already lost, Saint-loup is on 5/5 after yesterday's USA loss. Of course they got a red card early on, why wouldn't they?
This basically guarantees I won't get promoted - but to be fair, I did not deserve it this season.

At least USA lost so neither I nor my opponent (cls63) will get the point here. I have big expectations from Volleyball question and if I remember correctly that one should be enough for me to secure at least a draw and a good chance for a win.

Last chance saloon for a push to the top. Let's see how it will go.

[arallmuus]

Poland is the favorite to win the tournament, the odds is now 2 for them to win..

I didnt even know that they are the favourites lol. All I know is that the game is on Poland so atleast they would need to reach the final in front of their own crowd so that was my logical thoughts on this question. Well either way, I need them to win the next game

Damn USA!! The red card to the USA after 18 minutes ruined the whole match… Team Slissy is in trouble and is down by 1 point , this looks bad😂 Switzerland - Italy the odds are 1.5 on under 2.5 goals, I hope it will be a 1-0 0-1 or a 0-0 match so i can win a point😂

Down by 1 point here as well because of USA. I knew that it was over when the score was 1-1 on half time, pretty sure that they wont be scoring on 2nd half so yeah it went down as expected

Yeah, but we take extra time into consideration as well

Oh dang, that means draw is not an option here huh. I wish Switzerland somehow score a goal and keep the lead until final whistle unlike croatia 

[mv1986]

Ladies and gentleman, I am anything but an expert on Formula 1 question and therefore I mostly go with the odds I find and normally with tendencies as to how a driver performed in like the last three races. Now I wonder whether anyone here knows if the qualification for the sprint race also means something for the main race? Not in terms of positions that the drivers can get in the main qualifying, but whether a driver who finished really badly in the sprint qualification is also very likely to lose out in the main race, or miss the podium for that matter.

I am up against notblox1 and he said Leclerc will make the podium, I said no.



Does this mean anything from your experience or is it rather irrelevant? I have never been looking into that.
