Sorry slackovic that was me, I meant to ask some payment for some worthy cause (me) but while sleepy copied the wrong address from the sheet. Please send it back, so I can make sure a needy person (me) gets it.

Speaking of unexpected payments, I got btc dust (less than 1000 sats) twice this month, naughty naughty.

And back to BSFL: mitchr4, GL!

Can't wait for S02. I need to purge this season from memory. Real life and virtual were probably my worst in memory, tracking back to 2016. Last season wasn't so great either but this one takes the cake.

Damn it, I missed the promotional show I was hoping to bet on. It seems that the final of the Forum Professionals Cup will be exciting. I just sent in my answers a while ago, but I wonder who my opponent will be since the majority is out of the game.

What do you think about tonight's promotional show for Barcelona? Will LIVA be able to score?

[mv1986]

Tzzz

I was having a look at the Valladolid - Barcelona game because I wasn't sure whether it started at 19:00 GMT or 20:00 GMT. I saw it is the second minute and Barcelona is already 0-1 down. Awesome, first answer of mine already wrong. What a great start into this important round, now I can only hope for Valladolid to score another one. Ter Stegen is probably angry because his team is about to destroy a historical record that he could have had attached to his name if they kept defending like they did most of the season.

I literally looked up at FlashScore and was like wow, ok, this is interesting.

At this rate they will definitely score again.

[Jinetics1111]

So, 2 players in Jaylen Brown and Gabe Vincent have 17, Derrick White and Caleb Martin both tied with 16 points. How do we rank them in the grand scheme of things?

[slackovic]

Damn it! I forgot to send my answers yesterday. The time went by and somehow I thought that yesterday was Monday so I was gonna give my answers today. I see that a lot of you miss playing so you gave your answers. Never mind. I'll just rest this week and recharge for the new season starting next week

I see that out of everyone competing, only mitchr4 got the first answer right. Nice job man! I would have probably go with 1 goal on that question.

It's written in the question itself.

Code:

In case of players having the same number of points, the one with less minutes on the court will be the winner.

That means that the top 5 are Tatum, Brown, Butler, Vincent and White.

Disappointed with the NBA question, you had a lot of variety in your last 2 picks (other than Tatum, Brown and Butler) but we all missed the boat with our picks so it's mostly draws.
We will rephrase it in the future to avoid this.

This has me abit worry for now because mitchr4 is 1 point ahead of vd309 for now. Aside from that, the majority of their answers are the same and both are left with only two questions with different answers

@vd309 : all the best bud for the last two questions with different answers

Ter Stegen is probably angry because his team is about to destroy a historical record that he could have had attached to his name if they kept defending like they did most of the season.

Well if I dont count this wrong, he has 26 clean sheet just in La Liga this season so thats basically a huge record already but yeah considering how slopyy Barcelona is on their last 3 games then he probably would be a bit pissed with this

He has 25 clean sheets so far and conceded goals in three consecutive games (7 in total). He was about to break all records, but the last three games ruined it. He can't break the records anymore.

The record for clean sheets has been set in the season 1993/94 by Deportivo with 26 clean sheets. Ter Stegen and Barcelona will now only be able to beat that record if they do not concede a goal in the last two games.

The record for fewest goals conceded has been set by "1990s Deportivo side and Atletico Madrid in 2015/16." It is 18 goals in 38 games. Considering that Barcelona is already at 18 goals, they can't become the sole leader in that statistic anymore. It's a pity considering that they conceded 11 goals in 33 games and now 7 goals in 3 games. These benchmarks were in reach!

good memories on Deportivo, it was a great club in 90's and 00's, but declined a lot since, now in third competition level
when Valencia won title in 01/02, they were second, and that was a rare season when neither Real nor Barca finished top2, at least in period when I was following La Liga

those were the days when La Liga was probably best league in Europe, but lost that position to EPL in last decade

This is so true. Deportivo and Valencia, then Atletico Madrid joined the top group, Sevilla and Villareal often played an important role. I agree it was the most exciting league at that time. Not to forget that the Champions League win for Bayern against Valencia was a top game. These days nobody can even see Valencia in a CL final in their deepest dreams. La Liga took the final hit when the rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi peaked and then fell apart. It was that rivalry that kept La Liga alive for quite some time and Atletico developing into this fierce defensive, highly competitive squad was the icing on the cake. Now there is hardly anything left of all of that and I doubt that they can bring La Liga back to that level anytime soon. Most players want to go to the EPL. Not that they don't dream of Real Madrid anymore, but La Liga isn't the same these days.

[buwaytress]

I totally forgot about sending my try as well for fun, one of those days that slips by when you think about it all the time in the morning.

Meanwhile, my man mitch is the only guy who has a point from the semifinalists, (brave, brave pick against Barca, or just well-informed?). So I'm already sitting on a leading horse.

Other La Liga results bombed for me...

Random suggestion:
That NBA question on the surface looks really cool but as with tennis selections, always seems to end up in plenty of draws. Might need to "reward" additional bonus points (complicated but you know, maybe an excel formula). If fewer than 40% of total players pick a name/option that ends up being in there, that option also gets the player a point or half point in that H2H question? That encourages people to pick someone just on the fringes. ATM the risk is too high to not pick favourites.

Random off-topic:
@darxiaomi: Argentina's doing amazing things with peso. Should ask Steve to put a special on how high inflation can get by UCL final. On that note, I am sending you a PM

We had that one where we gave 0.5 points or 1 point, based on the position in the top 5.
Didn't like it because in NBA it depended too much on luck but I agree - this was worse.

We're still trying it out a bit, some questions will be great and some will be s$%t. Do offer your thoughts as well, but also we'd like you to know that we're already analyzing it all and that we don't like to see when things like these happen.
We'll revise and improve it for sure

So you are staying in Division 1 next season?
It is going to be a big competition next year in both Division 1 and 2 and I think BSFL will become much more popular when guys from website start competing.
Maybe we could send all out answers directly from Sportsbet website instead of google forms, but it would probably be a lot of extra fork for stuff, unles cro2 team starts working there full time

You mean everyone from sportsbet would be able to participate? but we already have similar 'quiz' like this on sportsbet, the 4-3 free and 6-6 free. I've never won anything from those two and I wouldnt want BSFL to available for the entire sportsbet's player lol I want this to become an exclusive league for bitcointalk user like us.

I wish we can get more players for season 2 though, it would be alot more fun that way

We opened the competition to people that are active on Sportsbet chat. Mostly guys from my Premier League Fantasy chat which will also become BSFL chat directly on Sportsbet page once per week. You heard it here first That is nowhere near the exposure 4-3 gets and it is exposure to the people that basically chat about sports all day long. They should be a nice fit for this competition.

We already had a couple of those guys in first season, our grand winner Slissy is one of them.

Never gonna happen, point is that we run it here, otherwise it is just another promo on Sportsbet site. Social component that this thread provides is crucial to the project.

My Goodness that City match was VAR filled smh.

Hahahaha man you make me laugh.

And its more fun to come, the forecasts are saying for may we reach the double digit per month, so in may we are gonna have 10% inflation in only one month, i think the 15 of June we are gonna know the official number.

[mitchr4]

2 VAR killed us all, the score would have been more than 3.5 goals without VAR.
