Congrats to leea for the third win and handing my first loss. I did so poorly this round that I couldn't even get the Dota question correctly despite watching the tournament from start to finish.  

It is my first experience in the BSFL and it has started like a nightmare. With Round 3 results it is going to be 1 draw and 2 losses already.  

We still have several weeks before the season ends, and the gap isn't wide yet to start worrying. I also had a bad start last season and eventually found my momentum with the easier matchups midway through the season.

After seeing PSG go down to the gladiators, I was so sure that BetBoom was going to win against Gaimin, but then again for Gladiators to knockout PSG was a clear sign that these boys meant  business and boy did they bring the house down when they faced BetBoom and that's how a point was rescued for me, phew

Btw the guys in division 2 arent playing around when it comes to the competition, and my general performance so far is below average and disappointing...need to shake  this up a note !

Renato297 well played   and great questions cro2  

So I should thank the BetBoom guys for not making it a two losses in a row. Congrats to mitchr4 for a good fight this week. Now I have to see the next week questions. I'm glad that there is no DOTA in it

[casperBGD]

so Gaimin won over BB, and that leaves me with a draw
TBH, draw seems to be a fair outcome for last week match with LTU_btc, congrats on a good fight

tennis question with Rublev and Bublik, and USA failing to win over Jamaica, with Evertonian Demarai Gray assist for Jamaica were probably biggest surprises this week, Belgium left undefeated, but U21 football is expected to be filled with surprises

onwards to next round, will have to check questions, but happy to see that there is no DOTA this week

[Rikafip]

Lol, no I wasn't kidding.  I've been doing horribly in these competitions.  I have about a 50/50 chance when answering most of the questions about soccer, specifically EPL, but most of the other stuff is rooted around sports with which I'm unfamiliar.

To quote Jerry Seinfeld from that famous "the opposite" episode, "if every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right" so maybe you should just start answering the opposite of what you think is gonna happen. George did it and this tactic brought him women and job at NY Yankess lol so maybe it will work for you too.  

Anyway, I see that it was a draw in the end. GG

[slaman29]

Congrats on your two consecutive wins, the tennis question being the most difficult one to predict especially Alcaraz getting to the final on grass it's quite amazing in my opinion and he has a chance to be a champion, and if he can do that it will be his first title in grass tournament, and as a warning to Djokovic as he will again face a big challenge from the Spaniard at Wimbledon later.

Thank you! I'm very happy and it's a good start after suffering so long. Now I hope the luck transfers to my fellow battler LFC_Bitcoin. But fuuu I hope Djokovic and Alcaraz meet again with no injuries!

So many red on the spreadsheet, yet you're able to score four goals in a round when most of us are lucky to earn one lol. I've never been this bad at my game; I was overconfident and threw in my answers early. I had a feeling you'd hit the ground running in the champoinship.

I have to admit it's pure luck. Last season I spent a hell lot of time researching and reading, especially on DOTA, this season of course I still looked and read but I didn't spend too much time to overthink.

Example Alcaraz, he's good but everyone was talking about injury and grass, but I just saw he was the biggest favorite. Easy.

DOTA the same. I took one look at liquipedia and put in the best teams (but it ended up only 1 of them reached final and lost) but I doubt researching would help there.

F1 questions are by far the hardest minus Verstappen!

It is my first experience in the BSFL and it has started like a nightmare. With Round 3 results it is going to be 1 draw and 2 losses already. 

The questions were quite difficult for me in general in this round honestly. I hoped to get a draw at worst but my opponent did really good. It seems like I will need to be more patient to get my first win in the league.    I haven't watched a DOTA tournament even for once in my life. I still managed to answer the question correctly just by making an assessment taking the statistics of the teams into account. At least this made me happy for this round but I hope next round questions are more advantageous for me.

Don't worry, sometimes it really is just about bad luck. I didn't get a single win from last season and suddenly now I have a good start, and also making freebet placing running in 2 weeks, but you never know what happens and I could still get relegated again if I have another bad streak.

90% of us never watched DOTA and never will, but we still can do enough research

Now I am just wondering when are we gonna get MMA since next week is supposed to be very quiet and I saw several times it's being brought up, I'm not a big fan for sure but it makes sense that should be in BSFL especially if we have one or two experts here, correct?

Oh and J-League! Brasil!

[Trofo]

To be fair all those MMA events look to be similar to us who don't follow the sports. They are called MMA227 not World Cup or something. Those experts need to let us know when there is a big even that can be considered more important then those regular ones we have often.

Only football gets special treatment and gets included for smaller events. Ok this week tennis got included as well even though it is smaller tournaments. Fringe sports need to be limited to few times per season max. DOTA is played every week but you will not get the DOTA question every week, maybe three or max four times during the season when there are bigger tier 1 tournaments.

@leea-1334 is holding strong indeed! Time to put that winning streak to an end soon

Starting with 0 points out of the first 3 questions, I can't complain that it still turned in my favor. Without the really lucky 3 or 4 goals question in the EURO U21 games this would have ended in a draw between ulven and me. Luck exhausted for me now?

I like this set of questions as it seems to not be as time consuming, which is also cool sometimes.

Good luck @LFC_Bitcoin but please understand that I am not trying to be the one to give you the first 3-pointer

The Cro2's wording of the Alcaraz injury sentence I expected he was going to collapse during one of those games or get knocked out in the semi-finals since those games are always fierce, but I had no idea he was going to nash everyone to the final, which is why he is world number one. This game does not always necessitate extensive research; sometimes simply following your instincts works quite well, as everything is 98% luck and 2% experience.

buwatress send me your BTC address! We shall meet again congrats.

[CLS63]

I have checked out Round 4 questions and I still can't be confident about myself despite having a solid start. Because it is really not easy to predict the results of U21 or U19 matches as I'm not following these tournaments very closely. The tennis questions in this round also seem a little challenging. But I liked the F1 question as it is certainly one of the sports I have been following for many years. Maybe this can even be the decider for me and I can gain advantage depending on my opponent's choice.

I can't wait to see new season starts for the football leagues. The questions would be much more fun then.  

[casperBGD]

what about Royal Liverpool golf tournament in four weeks?
it is a up-middle tournament, and last time that was held, Rory McIlroy took his first major trophy

back to topic, interesting questions this week, and almost none could be answered by heart, have to check who is playing on almost each
maybe third can be "tried" without looking at stats, but it is this part of the season, almost like "boxing days" in EPL, when you have to try harder to get points

To be honest, I rely more on luck in this 4th round at least 50% rely on research and 50% based on feeling somehow I got a deadlock while doing research, but no problem I'm still confident because in the 3rd round almost all the points I got based on luck I mean my answer is right in a match that I don't understand like NBA, Tennis and E-sports while 4 answers for soccer have failed even though this is a sport that I understand  I am excited after getting my first win, progress continues to move after bad results in round 1-2. By the way, what are the conditions for me to take a place in Division 2?

Thank you very much,,, I honestly was not expecting so much but getting 3 out of 3 is a great start and I cannot ask for more.

If it makes you happy, or my opponent slaman29 happy, I put in all my picks already, and I have to admit,,, researching is the most difficult this round that I can remember firstly because I did not recognize most names in the tennis, I cannot find single accurate predictions about U19 basketball, even results does not come with news so I have no idea there 

In the end,,, I thought it is a waste to wait and maybe miss tomorrow, so I went with names I recognized the most as "tennis" and "basketball".

Good luck to everyone,,, do not worry about early points. Everything is not over until last game

Unexpected, but I never say no  to points Are you kidding about this set of questions not time consuming?  Trying to find news about the basketball was so bad most google results showed me FOOTBALL.

slaman29,,, Time for me to revenge you for winning the freebet, here is a hint,,, I made only 1 small risk in the selections, of course according to my feelings

[ralle14]

I noticed that the 8th question might have to be revised (or voided) because I can't see De Minaur on the ATP 250 Eastbourne draw, and Nicolas Jarry probably filled his spot as he's also advancing straight to the next round aside from the top three seeds.

A few of them are difficult, but the good thing about this week's set of questions is that we get fewer questions that require two to three answers correctly. 

[buwaytress]

Thanks for the freebets! I don't think I was ever a contender in the first season. I also need to thank arallmuus for the win -- had his picks counted, we'd be 5-4 for a win to him mainly thanks to GG somehow winning the final. Close call for me =D

You're right I don't see him either, but seem to recall reading several outlets saying he's playing Eastbourne as his girlfriend also is. Jarry has indeed replaced him according to this article. Don't really get the explanation there, if he pulled out...

[LTU_btc]

TBH, draw seems to be a fair outcome for last week match with LTU_btc, congrats on a good fight

I needed this draw like breathe of fresh air. 3 loses in 3 opening rounds and the facing league leader doesn't sound like good combination.
I like this week's question. There is nothing related to esports and it's best thing for me. Nice to see question about U19 basketball. But I expect that most will go with main favorites here.

Well question is still sort of fine. I guess you know what answer you will not choose now

Did not see the news but if it is true that just means he did not reach second round and question is still valid. Of course in the end it will be almost like void cause everyone will chose same answer but this is also ok since it will punish those few that did not read the news or this post of yours. It wasn't intended as trick question but we are fine to have even trick questions here and there.

slaman29,,, Time for me to revenge you for winning the freebet, here is a hint,,, I made only 1 small risk in the selections, of course according to my feelings

Well ok the basketball question is a bit more difficult because u19 teams also change a lot and I am not sure, but I think it is harder to rely on past results I guess? But still these questions are a bit easier to be researched. I spent a lot of time on the DOTA question in the last round because I had no idea how likely it is for a team to get into the grand final from the lower bracket. But I found some statistics and was confident that even if the Gaimin Gladiators would start from the lower bracket that they have been known for being a team you can't ever write off. That's why I chose them as a grand finalists when at the time they've been on the lower part of the table.

It is also good that Cryptofrka and Trofo chose to play this round as well even though there is not that much going on. It is still fun to do some research and look forward to the respective events.

[notblox1]

Sour looser, my favorite kind, means I got into your head   You should have won this one long before DOTA, by far my worst round and only win of the season. RNG at its best. I feel the same about all American sports. To make it worse Americans themselves classified them as entertainment so that players can use any substance they want.

Nobody here likes DOTA except you, so I am not a sour loser Trofo, and you are taking advantage because you follow video games that are not sport.  
American sport is a sport, and nobody can deny that, but I dont follow NFL, baseball and many other sports.
This round was bad for most people so I wont complain much, but congrats to all the winners.

Dota is a series of strategy video games.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dota

You know if you have some fringe sports you are following, feel free to send us a question about it in these months where there isn't that much proper sports. We wanted to include cricket game in last round but did not know how to make the question so that it is finished before the deadline. Only two conditions it has to be bulletproof (covering all possible outcomes) and reasonably easy to grade (official page with results).

I did send my suggestion for MMA and it was Croatian fighter on purpose as a bribe, but you guys compared it with sport team Brighton and you never heard about him.
So after that I am starting to doubt if you guys are really from Croatia or not
