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

BetBoom Team is out of tournaments so there will be no finals for them. So I have a slight advantage there.

Ruud is out of the tournament, he was crushed 6-0 in the last set. I wanted to answer YES but Ruud was the player I was most unsure about. Luckily I made the right choice 😁 Unfortunately my opponent has the same answer 😂

Edit: Portugal-Italy 1-1 after 35 min so both team to score YES

DOTA is actually on of the easiest sports to predict when I am watching a lot of games on some tournament. This time that wasn't the case, did not watch a single game and made a ticket just by hunch and results I checked. Not something that I share usually and you can see stake is small. For instance if you want for today, I believe all 4 games will go over 2.5 maps but again that is far from certain but odds are good and that is what I played. Singles and one multi.

I played the Betboom and Team Aster  over 2.5 maps @3.9 odd just exactly what I needed toda, the other two games are already started.

If we ever meat in real life I expect at least a bear for shares like this. 4/4 correct, each with odds @1.9 or more. Damn I am really becoming DOTA specialist. This is now 8/8 in two days. Too bad one game got changed and my initial multi got partially paid out but still a nice boost to my bank

Where are those cricket or formula specialists. I want some free picks as well.

Thank you for the great pick, but I was too late, so I just played 2/2. I told buwatress the same thing, and I'll tell you again, the world is a tiny place, and I'm relocating to Europe next year, so there's a strong possibility we'll meet and drink to stupor, a great 40 years old whisky to begin with.

That being said, I'm 9/8 on basketball 1st half overs picks since last week, and I got some big money from the U19 championship. I cannot wait for the NBA season to begin.

[Harkorede]

3-0 is the default 'forfeit' result in football, that's why that one was implemented. We can think it over, but I really hope it won't be necessary.

I hope it won't even be needed at all for this season, so there is no complicated issue needing you guys to make an uneasy decision.


Is anyone else watching the World no 4 getting RUUD out of Wimbledon by the No. 143 ranked Broady ? 6-0 in the 5th set, there goes the biggest upset so far in this tournament, and for everyone who went for No in the 4th question have their answers already  

That being said, I'm 9/8 on basketball 1st half overs picks since last week, and I got some big money from the U19 championship. I cannot wait for the NBA season to begin.

I know good you are with risk analysis and your stuffs too, but NBA should considered as the 2nd devils sport right after Tennis (as regarded by Nigeria Gambling Twitter), I'm sure your perspective will change in the regular season, because the summer league is a completely different ball game my bro! It's a completely different ball game entirely.

[buwaytress]

^ Yeah Ruud out, sucks ass. I was more worried about others, not Ruud. Thankfully, not one of the few questions where I differ from LTU.

I picked Liquid and Gaimin, the two teams from memory have the best records. No idea if they were favs even. Seems pretty hard to say.

I also went for them because it'll take a few rounds before they meet, and it's looking good. If they both win on Friday, we're guaranteed to see one of them in the final.

Liquid is really on fire! Took a look at Bali, nice to see BetBoom getting punished for... one of their players alt-tabbing a stream during game pause (can anyone explain why that's a no-no, and if so, why he did it when it was clear he would be caught?).

That's right, fellas, that's me reading Bali Major news... and is it me or is it 10x better covered by the media than all the other tourneys in BSFL so far? I mean, my feed was full of news when I searched, fresh, fresh ones too. Wasn't at all that way for Dreamleague and previous tourneys.

Nope, nothing would change. Last season, I got my first seven-figure payoff from NBA picks. Nigeria gambling Twitter players have been sucking millions and millions from NBA, tennis, and baseball; these are the most popular sports betting in Nigeria now, and football picks is on its way out; the odds are not worth the risk, unlike NBA and other stuffs.

Most bookies with NBA lowerlines do not allowed Nigerians anymore, those guys wreck alot of bookies last season.

It's not allowed because watching the stream gives them information and it was on the same level as cheating since the game is paused for quite a while too. I also don't know why he'd watch the stream out of the blue, but I guess he didn't read the rules or did it without thinking. On the other hand, Team Liquid should have an easy time beating Tundra tomorrow.

18.   ralle14 vs. Danydee

What are the chances we meet again but this time it's in the qualifiers.

Someone tell me about Tour de France how to see? They have GRAND standings and also winner of each race. Is it points system for wins or just total time taken?

it is total time, so what you make in one round/race/stage whatever you called it
and Vingegaard took the lead in front of Pogacar today, although Pogacar won this stage, mid-mountain stages usually decide whole race (and some mountain as well), and they are both good in mountain stages, not sprinters

Ruud is out, my bet was on Medvedev not to reach his best Wimbledon score so far, 4 round, but Ruud happens to blow first
Rybakina is also close to be out, on medical time-out, although she lead at the moment
edit: she survived, but questionable can she do another win, after knee injury

If I'm not mistaken didn't Cornet suffer the injury?

One more piece of info that ralle14 forgot to mention because it is probably obvious to regular DOTA fans.

Watching streams is forbidden since DOTA game is a lot about positioning and players don't see the map in a way we see it. They have fog of war which basically means somebody watching the stream has great advantage. Streamers also always comment on new items and state of game which is info that other team does not have. Blink or BKB reveal can mean a difference between lost or won fight if you surprise the opposition. And those are relatively cheap items.

Yes, it was Cornet that suffered the injury not Rybakina and her round 3 would be against Boulter, so she should be able continue with her streak and get a win again, and that could also be her last game for the week which would mean just Iga Swiatek left to look out for.

Swiatek plays her 3 round tomorrow, although against a tough opponent Martic Petra world No. 30, Swiatek should get her own job done first then I can fully root for Rybakina to do hers too.

[notblox1]

Again this DOTA talk guys please, dont you have separate topic for that? Or even better separate Dotatalk forum?  
It is all Trofo fault, and I blame him for my bad start in this round with zero correct answers until now  
There is still time to turn result around like last time, but slaman29 already have a nice lead.

Yes, football is the becoming the most worthless sport to bet on due the low odds that doesn't get justified by the chances of occurrence, even the over and under are becoming the same thing, you can't comfortably have Barcelona, Bayern, Man City, Liverpool, Real Madrid and PSG on Over 2.5 as a parlay for each of the 38 game weeks and expect to win between 30-50% of the time, while they are the team that are expected to be score a lot weekly and the chances that you'll get up to 10 Odds for this selection is also going to be quite low.

Damn it! I seem to can't get a hold of myself this season. I really thought that all four will advance to the next week of Wimbledon. If only Tsitsipas was in question... Then I would surely answer to not to advance to the next week. Now I'm down 2-0 against jeremypwr who usually gets 5-6 correct answers this season. Thankfully Scotland didn't qualify in cricket so we got a draw on that question...

Today we have Norrie playing his second match against Eubanks. He should be able to win it.

Petra Martić doesn't have good record against Swiatek as she lost both of their games so far with a straight 2-0.

Hey fellas, I'm gonna market this a bit here - considering that we have over 50 players in BSFL.

The BitcoinTalk Premier League pool sponsored by Sportsbet is now live: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5458848.new#new

0.2 in the pot so far with a guaranteed 0.1 for the first place winner plus 3mbtc freebet for every weekly round winner. A little over a month to go before kick off now so plenty of time to sign up.

Trofo and myself are playing ofc, this pool is already legendary and the rewards are amazing again so take a look and join if it's something that interests you.

We might even have questions in the BSFL on who from forum members will do better in this pool

[CLS63]

Yeah they are really close and the decider questions will be really important. I thought Hamilton wouldn't make it to podium here after watching him really struggle recently. But some time after I made my prediction I checked the 2022 British GP. And I saw that Hamilton was on podium.    So I'm wondering now if I did the wrong thing by not trusting him but let's see.

You need to be stopped; it's too early to run away with the league; you're already on track to finish in the top ten after only four rounds, and if I lose this round to you, we're in big trouble.

Yeah I have made a start beyond my expectation. However jeremypwr and buwaytress also made a start as good as me. They have lost points only in one round. This still makes the competition really fired up for this season. The rounds in which I'm going to play against both of them are going to be really important for me to get more advantageous against them.

It looks like I will win this round as well most probably. As next round I'm going to play play against darxiaomi to whom I have a big respect I'm aware that my job is going to be very difficult.

I should have used the VAR on the cricket question when I had the chance; it's the one advantage you have over males now. There's still a long way to go, but this is the one round where I've never been sure in my picks. Already looking forward to the next round

@Harkorede the lower odd games are always the riskiest games in football betting these days.

Questions for No. 6, PSG.LGD is waiting for their opponents in the Bracket Semifinals between Gladiators and Quest Esports, if Gladiators are defeated then the next fight is PSG.LGD vs Gladiators (Bracket Semifinals) right? while my answer to question 6 is PSG.LGD, Gladiators - PSG.LGD. If this scenario occurs then I don't have the chance to get full points on the 6th question, right? because one of them will be eliminated. By the way here list and schedule https://imgur.com/JDABdUb

Next question for no 7, some people answered Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe-Sri Lanka then marked in red I have the same answer as them but not marked in red but in white, there are also other participants such as CLS63 who answered Sri Lanka - Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka marked in green. So what is the difference? At first I suspected Cro2 had not finished his work here but I was really curious

I believe 1 point each for correct finalists and 1 point for winner. And thats why this Red and yellow for same answers depens who you play against. Some players did not picked Sri Lanka in the first place maybe. So like if cls picked Sri Lanka and his opponent not, he already won. This might be the case. We should wait for the final result for %100 correction tho.


And Norrie shaking a little bit I need him to win kinda sweating rn

I fully expected Norrie to lose today. Eubanks is playing some good tennis this season on grass and I never really liked Norrie.

Cricket question is not finished, still final to come but my colleague already colored those duels that are resolved. Hakan is right, we are awarding 1 point for each correct answer, so you can get max 3 correct on this question.

[buwaytress]

@Trofo @ralle14 great explains, thanks.

Now that completely makes sense to me now, initially, all I understood is that they're watching the game, just like anyone else would if they're killed (I'm assuming that's the same now after you die you still get a roving cam).

What I still can't comprehend is, knowing that it's an obvious advantage, why a pro player at that level would do it... surely he knows he'll get caught?

P.S. I watched a game on Twitch for 2 mins. It was... weird.

@cryptofrka Dutch were the favourites to win and they did it comfortably against Scotland -- but they were more than 2/1 to win by the margin they needed to qualify, so that was a great pick you made, inspired.

Thankfully, a draw for me and LTU...
