Team in complete disarray? Yes that's true, but I was in the same state when I humiliated Trofo's unbeaten team the last and only time we met.

Why mentioning team Trofo again? Something's bothering you for sure. And with false facts? I don't think I have ever been unbeaten when me met. Furthermore, I can loose unimportant friendly game against you every season if that means top 2 finish. Also it was earlier while you were still a star team in div 1 or fresh from div 1 and I was building my squad in lower divisions. Something that you will have to do now.

I appreciate it when you go into details with the press about what happened after so much preparation. Are you surprised that a team that advanced from Division 3 to Division 1 is receiving more media attention recently? You shouldn't be; we just appreciate your success story and inform other clubs that hard work does not guarantee promotion because it is possible to sit at home and earn free 9 points in the middle of the season to move from midtable to top 3.  

Newcastle United is another bad team that no one talks about; it appears that the entire rebuild is going down the drain. I hope it's not another Fulham and QPR story. (Got rich take over and became shit the next season).

They are abit overshadowed by all the other bad teams right now like Chelsea and Manchester United hence most people dont even realize Newcastle is just worse. I mean how the heck were they even conceding a goal against Blackburn, this team is 16th on championship and they couldnt even score any goal after that. They were lucky to win on the penalty though

[Harkorede]

The Wrexham trick question backfired, they did not manage to win away to a team in the relegation zone.
This now means that I need Crewe not to win their home game in which they are decent favorites, and Wrexham to win their as well.

Naturally, all my freebet opponents have 'No' as an answer, which makes them favorites for that point.

Well, that's a shame. Finally, I caught your trick question and it backfired. Now I will be blaming you if I lose my friendly against Harkorede (he has "No") because of this trick question

We don't have penalties often, we don't need them in League duels. When we do have them, the plan is to use them in friendly duels as well.
Considering that friendlies aren't under our jurisdiction, we'll allow you to settle this between yourselves however you want.

I hid the penalty column in case you agree that you add your penalty answers after the deadline.

Like I said in my answer to Harkorede. It's up to him. If he wants to answer the penalties question, that's OK. If he don't, we will just count the result without that question. If it's a draw, then it's a draw.

Answering the penalty question now would beat the purpose of fairness and whatnot, even though I never saw any of either opponents penalty questions, I'd say we call it square if it ends up as a draw at the end of all questions, and I hope and I think it wouldn't come to that though. Then, going forward we'll get more explicit when it comes to friendly games, I guess I never thought of penalties because, most, if not all of my sidebet have come during the regular season with possibility of a draw and penalty questions weren't a thing during those matches just a couple of H2H questions, apologies for any misunderstanding caused.

No need to apologize. We are all friends here, even though we are competing. I think that every missunderstanding can be solventnosti by talking, just like we solved this.

Maybe I got used to answering all questions (including penalties) because I played two friendlies that were settled by the penalties question.

I just need Chelshit to finish above them this season, looks like a very feasible scenario after all  

In Poch, stand my trust

Get Chelsea out of your mouth - we're test running a toddlers program( Newcastle united is always going to do better than us)

Yes Manchester united shitty form took all the attention from when Newcastle did 1/8 and went from Top 4 to dragging 10th with Chelsea kids. 

Had no idea how they conceded a goal to Blackburn full of local university students just few minutes after leading.

Newcastle maybe shit but we're shittest and no way we're finishing above them. Our side bet still running....

[buwaytress]

Waiting for you losers to tag me this weekend, everything is going to plan, including Atletico appearing in the finals. Shocking so many people picked United to cover handicap, only Trofo thought like me. Too bad Casemiro saved your scrawny ass, cryptofrka.

@buwaytress - OMG! Brother!  

Blud, that team thought they could survive without new buys. Still think they made a mistake letting go St Maximin in what was apparently some kind of weird financial dealing, and hoping they could rely on guys like Almiron to keep on overperforming. I still like watching them though, QPR were horrible to watch...

Did any of you that couldn't find markets actually went and clicked on the link I posted? They were under sports specials not  specials. Those are two different categories on SB.

Yeah, I checked every possible place under Sports specials (it's even bookmarked for me as I like to check the page). I placed bets every time this came out except this final, but I think it's possible I checked too late (before deadline though!).

Would have loved to get more free money, but I would have been absolutely torn as both chi20 and Hhampuz are my favourites picks in cup.

[Trofo]

It was only logical choice for me here. No way United covers that handicap was my first thought. Then when you are left with other options, odds on Forrest passing are way lower than getting correct United victory with exactly one goal or after extra times,

Did not check yet how my friendlies are going today but I glanced at your answers after deadline and I think I thought me and you have a lot of same answers while cls63 went the other way.

Oops, it seems Super Arall was able to hit nerve there, LOL! Who would expect the ever blunt and strongly opined Sheriff to get touchy, I guess we are all humans after all, and a little bit of emotions are allowed  

-----------------------

Am I the only who is yet to have their bet on the playoffs finals still yet to be settled or is it a general thingy ?

EDIT:
I just got it sorted in a less than a minute, if your is your yet to be settled just reach to the support team via live chat, and it'll get done with 30 seconds.

What was Newcastle's reasons for selling St Maximin in the first place? What is his injury record? Man was their best player and the only one with the most successful take ons after Hazard left England. I recall telling Harkorede earlier this season that Newcastle was never going to survive this season with their dreadful squad depth, and I was not wrong. I told Harkorede that Newcastle's Top 4 was similar to Sheffield United fooling all of us in their first season in the EPL and then falling to the relegation zone the following season.

QPR got a sugar daddy, and the first thing they did was sign all of the old Legends from the TOP 4 on high wages (Ferdinand, Johnson, and others) and got shipped to the championship. Honestly, everyone believed Newcastle would get Ronaldo and Mbappe this season. Lol

I made 4.45mbtc tonight from Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester united. Free bet well spent. Cryptofka don't worry buddy your money is secured - I'm not impressed with my my performance so far.

Oops, it seems Super Arall was able to hit nerve there, LOL! Who would expect the ever blunt and strongly opined Sheriff to get touchy, I guess we are all humans after all, and a little bit of emotions are allowed 

Yeah we had the youngest lineup against Liverpool in the Cup final but nobody is talking about it. They only see billions and not toddlers

[notblox1]

What was Newcastle's reasons for selling St Maximin in the first place?

Easy answer Sheriff, it was money and Al Ahli is known to pay a lot
I think his contract expired and he spent four seasons in Newcastle before moving to Saudi Arabia.


I see very nice start from Chi20 in Cup final, but dont get relaxed in next days bro



Breaking News from team Notblox1!  
We just purchased two new rising star players and we plan to buy few more players while transfer market window is open.
Atmosphere in team is very good and we are preparing to start new season in Division 1 with our brand new kit.

I doubt it's for the money, though, because that's something Newcastle can afford right ? I believe Maximin was already being surplus to requirement in the team to be very honest, if Newcastle have not been plagued with injuries after injuries this season, In my opinion they have multiple players that are pretty much better than Maximin, if you ask me, and then there is definitely a squad number of players control they might need to have had before the season, so why keep an heavy budget on your team if you don't think he'll be a getting any playing or is already surplus to requirement.

It's typical the same thing as asking why did Man City sold Gabriel Jesus, Sterling or Cole Palmer more so to an immediate rival, one the offer was too good to reject, and these players have multiple replacement already and their playing time weren't by any means guaranteed too, so it's decision that favors all parties involved, at least as of the time the decision were made, whether or not, it's come back to hunt them.

I don't mind them selling St. Maximin, he is very injury prone player and spent more time in hospital than on the pitch. It is also better for him to play in league where you have one game per week instead of 2.

Is it big money? Don't remember reading about it and if it was I sort of think it would be all over the news.

He was shipped out for only £25m, which is poor business from Newcastle United; I'm sure they could have got more if the team's recruiting team was any good. Not a good deal for the club but a better deal for the doctors for someone who sleeps and eats at the hospital.

[Chi20]

I see very nice start from Chi20 in Cup final, but dont get relaxed in next days bro

Not relaxing at all.  We still have 4 different answers and it's can go either way.
The only surprising answer I saw on Hhampuz is that of city not wining the match against United, I never thought of anyone picking such answer but you!

BSFL - pre-season update

Season 4 - STARTING SOON

• It will start on 04.03. and probably last until end of July (20 weeks or so).
• We have 16 teams per Divisions 1 and 2 (15 rounds, 1-legged competition + the Cup and playoffs) and an undefined number of players in Division 3 so far (around 20).
• In case we have 20 or less people in Division 3, we will probably have a single Division 3. In case we have more, we'll probably have Divisions 3A and 3B again. We'll announce the full format of Division 3 on Sunday - that's the sign up deadline.
• Divisions 1 and 2 will not be expanding this season again – meaning that Season 5 will have 16 teams in Division 1 and 16 teams in Division 2. We like this format and feel it is optimal for now, but might expand leagues again for Season 6 so we get a single Division 3 with 18 teams.
• This season there won’t be a Division 4, but that does not mean that the following one we won’t have it.
  If we do go with Division 4, Division 3 will have 16 players as well and all lower placed players will be relegated to Division 4 (all spots below top 8 if we go with 2 Division 3’s).
• It is more likely that we’ll continue having 2 Division 3’s, in that case there won’t be relegation and we’ll keep filling the Div3 spots with new players.
• There will be 3 or 4 players relegated from Division 1 to Division 2 (3 direct, 13th from Div 1 will play directly against 4th from Div2 for the last spot in Division 1.
  Therefore, 3 or 4 players will be promoted from Division 2 to Division 1 (3 direct, 1 potentially in playoffs (4th team from Div 2 to play 13th team from Div 1).
• There will be 3 or 4 players relegated from Division 2 to Division(s) 3. 3 players from Division 2 will be relegated directly and the 13th player from Division 2 will play a H2H game versus a yet undefined Division 3 team.
  We will announce the Division 3 promotion format once we define whether we go with one or 2 Division 3's.
• We have introduced a 1mBTC buy-in for Division 2, while Division 1's buy-in was decreased from 2,5 to 2mBTC.
• The reward pool will therefore be 7.000$ in sponsorship from SB (we will transfer it to BTC when we receive it) and 48mBTC collected from buy-in fees. We will have standard freebets rewards pool as well to add to the rewards.
  The approximate rewards according to Division placement will be shared in the next few days.

There are some new rules we are introducing.

Late submission penalties

• In case of late submission, the player loses the duel with a score of 3-0 and gets 1 'total points' penalty - it is the same rule that we had so far.
• To add to that, if a person has 1 missed submission at the end of the season, his reward will be reduced by 20%. If he has 2, the reward will be 50% less and 3 means automatic disqualification and no reward at all.
  The deducted rewards from such players will go to the next season's budget.

Evil fee

• In case a member got disqualified in any of the previous seasons and wants to join again, he is returning from the lowest possible Division.
  The initial penalty for participating again is a 1mBTC 'evil fee' that is returned to the player at the end of the season if the player submits the answers for all rounds on time.
  If he fails to do so, evil fee is kept and shared between all the teams that secured promotion from Division 3 in that season.
• If a player gets disqualified again, the each subsequent time the evil fee is doubled, so becomes 2mBTC, then 4mBTC etc.

I'm tagging all disqualified members so that they are aware of the new rules - in case they want to rejoin.

LOVE the Evil fee!

And yo, yo, yo, what happens when you trust Girona finally, and trust Manchester United finally?



Well okay they didn't cover the 2 goals I needed to beat you buway but at least I managed to turn 1 of my 5 relegation freebets into some consolation prize, to win my money back

You know I never make as much on this type of multibet as I do big singles, ever since I switched strategy last year to follow you as the great underdog betting guy, but the problem with freebet is you have to bet on games within 3 days. So this is the best I can find sometimes.

Oh wait I know another 'problem' is I don't never used USDT so I know myself, I'll end up losing it one day lol

[slackovic]

Well Harkorede... It's 2-0 for me after Manchester United managed to win by only one goal. I didn't have time to comment on it before but I couldn't resist I was dwelling whether to go with Man United winning with a handicap or only by 1 goal. I decided to risk it with 1 goal difference and it paid off

I bet most people would submit on time next season after they read this lol. 20% is an appropriate penalty even just for 1 late submission, its going to cost you alot especially if you are on division 1 and hey we are almost at the bull run so that btc as the reward could worth alot more after the season ends. I guess this applied to free bets reward as well and the leftover free bets are going to be carry over to next season?
