⭐⚽⭐ Sportsbet's Bitcointalk Sports Fanatics League (BSFL) – 10000$ rewards ⭐⚽⭐

[bullrun2024bro]

Thank you for saving the night; it may have been better if I had staked the game earlier; it was 11 odds, but I spent half of my ticket time looking for my free bet option, and I was only left with 5 odds. This is the first time I've ever used my freebte to my good.

Awesome! Glad I could help. Sometimes things are a little bit tricky at first, but once you know how to do it, it's pretty easy haha.

And ofc congrats to your sweet win bud. +$168.40 not bad.

Not that I know much about cricket, but there's also a surprising amount of interest in the Balkans apparently... and even in the Baltics, where Sportsbet has a huge cricket presence at grassroots level

There's actually a cricket tourney next week organised by Croatian Cricket Federation! Some big names there including a Sportsbet cricket ambassador don't know if you guys recall Brett Lee from early editions of Behind the Bet.

Did anyone else find the Wimbledon on-site "IBM Slamtracker" pretty cool? I don't seem to recall it being there before even in other GSs, but this one shows a much clearer draw path than others with nice dividers for rounds and even a "helpful" predictor (never trust them haha). Or maybe I never noticed it before?

I think it was available on previous editions of Wimbledon, but yeah, it's really cool thing. And IMO, Wimbledon have best website from all Grand Slam and ATP and WTA tours.

By far! AO and RG I remember using a lot but their sites weren't very logical, and results and draws were so hard to view properly, but Wimbledon itself has a really smooth path mapped out, I just wonder why it's so hard for the rest to just copy the formats haha.

Note to Cro2: Now that VAR's available, is there an option in Google Forms to also email the results to the email of submitter? I remember doing it before with Gforms but not sure if that's possible for BSFL. That would help us remember our picks and see if anything needs changing before deadline.

Basically, if you want to receive replies by e-mail we have to store your e-mail address. That is a default form requirement, so either we do it for everyone or we don't do it at all.
We decided not to do it for privacy reasons.

I think they implemented an option in which a user can specifically request it - but I have to test it a bit before implementing it. Will let you know how it goes.

22 players did not submit their picks yet. The deadline is approaching and this is your final reminder. A lot of points to lose again for being late.

What a hell of round its gonna be.

Football U19 and u21, so no normal football. Tennis in grass, and far worst WOMEN TENNIS IN GRASS, women tennis its the most irregular thing i ever see.

You want more? Yes we have Esports, and also, the cherry on top..... CRIKET!!! THe only Criquet i know its this:



SO this round we are 99% faith, 1 % knowledge.

[cryptofrka]

Hahah, this made me laugh. Yup, a fucked up round for us all.

I just submitted, I did it mostly on statistics but I do feel some of my picks will be different than the crowd's general direction.
I really wanted to go with Ukraine against Spain in the Euro U-21's but eventually went with Spain.

Let's see how it goes, eh?

I just take print screen of the form before I submit, since I have dropbox they are automatically converted into an img and saved on the cloud.
Also I think I'll need to use the var given a recent result.

Cricket in Baltics? I live there and never heard that cricket is played here. I'm also not sure that we have pitch were cricket can be played in this regions.
BTW, I saw in my Youtube feed stream of European Cricket league which is played in Hungary now. Tried to watch a bit, but still not clue how exactly it's played.

I really wanted to go with Ukraine against Spain in the Euro U-21's but eventually went with Spain.

Yeah, I also like to see how Ukraine is played, but decided to go with logic, rather than emotions and picked Spain.

[Renato297]

I have sent my answers, I finally won my first 3 points of this season, I hope this round goes well for me, since I compete on fb although I have a difficult time against the Cro2 Team who are very good in Dota and other sports.

Good luck to everyone

Hey fellas,

the spreadsheet is now visible.
2 players from Div 3A did not submit on time (Coin_trader and MAAManda) so the picks from Rikafip and Saint-loup are hidden.

We also have our first VAR used - Omikfuse changed his cricket picks.

common sense is to put Spain, I have put England on likeability, they were winning all without conceiving goal, but overall Spain is favorite in potential finals too

will be an interesting round, a lot could be resolved during the week, especially in my duel with darxiomi where we have different answers on all YES/NO questions

my boy Norrie won first match, but I don't think he will see second week on tournament, except from audience

Hello! Thank you for the update. I believe the VAR feature is only available for tennis questions, which means we can change our answers in case of a tie, is that correct? I checked the data tables and found that my opponent has the same answer as me except for cricket and Dota answers. It seems that a tie result for this round is not unlikely.

Dammit, I am playing against you. Now I don't even need to check the table or watch most of the events. I am not gonna watch cricket for sure so that leaves DOTA. Great minds think alike, I am smelling 9-9 draw incoming

I had a feeling this round will have many same choices across the questions but I never imagined we will have 8 same answers. First football H2H was doomed from the moment Ukraine won against France. We also have a lot of yes/no questions where there isn't many choices so it is more likely to pick same answer.

[buwaytress]

I submitted late today, but for the life of me, forgot to change a pick from Zimbabwe to Scotland after knowing Scotland won and KO'd Zim out of the qualifiers haha. Submitted the form as it had been sitting since morning heh.

7 same answers, so almost same as Trofo/Ulven!

Funny enough, my opponent who put in his picks early foresaw that victory -- so he probably has that point in the bag (I'm going to be hoping for a huge Dutch victory but it hardly seems likely). Then it's only DOTA and TdF left, and I'm really not confident in either. Go Liquid!

[cryptofrka]

I went with them, I consider them as favorites here. Not sure how common draws are in cricket though

Is Norrie's second game schedule for the second week, because the Norrie's questions involves him winning his first two games, not reaching the second week like it was asked for top four 4 seeds, perhaps, your statement isn't related to the question asked, but just your making point, right ?

I put Sri Lanka and Scotland, without even knowing the games was scheduled for today, but unfortunately for me, I didn't put who will win the finals, it still has everything to do with me reading the questions or interpreting it wrongly, and maybe not understanding the sport well enough to know there will still be a final between them, because these are the two teams that said is left to make it the world cup because question go thus "7. Cricket World cup qualifiers are going on, 6 teams are left in qualifiers and 2 will make it to the World cup later this year in India. The question is which two teams will make it to the final of qualifiers and who will win it? Provide your answer in the following form: Sri Lanka,  Scotland - Sri Lanka. This is a H2H question." So my brain probably stopped functioning at the 6 teams are left and only 2 of them will make it to the World cup.

[notblox1]

All questions submitted, but I will never understand silly DOTA system of qualifications, so I answered randomly based on betting odds.

I submitted late today, but for the life of me, forgot to change a pick from Zimbabwe to Scotland after knowing Scotland won and KO'd Zim out of the qualifiers haha. Submitted the form as it had been sitting since morning heh.

Well I am falling on that question, and I was sure Zimbabwe is going to win after I saw them leading against Scotland and I cant even read cricket score correctly  
What curve ball is cro2 going to throw at us in next round? Maybe Golf, Badminton or Table Tennis?
Good luck everyone except the guy I play against.

[slaman29]

I know absolutely nothing about cricket except that it's a sport that is popular in... India? Or is it some other country? I see that Sri Lanka is killing their opponents. I expected India to be the best in cricket. And I was absolutely surprised to see European countries like Netherlands and Scotland trying to qualify for the World Cup in cricket. I had no idea that cricket is a popular sport in those countries.

All of South Asia loves cricket so yes that's India and Pakistan with the most viewers. In India when big cricket matches come on, the whole country stops working. It's worse than football because whole families watch together.

I wanted to wait for Scotland match yesterday but couldn't. I thought Zimbabwe would surely win but British teams can't be underestimated I guess. When I put in my answers, Zimbabwe had so much time and they were 1.1x to win

One time I went to the bookies and saw cricket live and team A was winning like 150-0 and the odds on them winning were 7 or something.
Normally, I took half of my student paycheck and bet on it, I was sure it's a mistake by the bookie. I happily went to take a walk, when I returned to see the score it was like 345-150 for the other guys.

I am still clueless about it, I did go against the herd here and picked Netherlands instead of Scotland.

Not really sure what next week holds in store, due to Wimbledon we'll have questions ready. Potentially a cup round - we do early cup rounds with only 5 questions.

[slackovic]

Fucking cricket... I didn't realize that Scotland - Zimbabwe was scheduled for yesterday so I sent my answers before the game. Of course I went with Zimbabwe and jeremypwr went with Scotland so that's already 1-0 for him. We have only four same answers so it should be an interesting week for us.

[Trofo]

Not really sure what next week holds in store, due to Wimbledon we'll have questions ready. Potentially a cup round - we do early cup rounds with only 5 questions.

We have 52 players at the moment. Cup for this season will have following format:
- we will have qualifying round first. Top 12 players from Div 1 are free
- That gives us 40 teams playing qualifying round. That one will have 5 questions plus penalties
- Then starts a real thing with 20 teams that qualified + 12 teams from Div 1 that were free
- we have 32 teams cup, knockout rounds all the way

Wanted to get this out quickly before we know who gets free pass in Div 1. Schedule for qualifying round will come tomorrow probably.
