This is probably the first real time that I am very close to not submitting my picks in time before the deadline, because I was about to be away probably for the rest of the day, without access to submitting before deadline, while I haven't even made any pick yet, I believe that's highly due to me have almost a free pass for the round, I just had to submit so as not to bring the same mindset into subsequent rounds.

[Chi20]

Congratulations Kokee44 and shogun47

[arallmuus]

because the 2 other victories were because my rivals didnt send their responses.

I hope Im not going to be your 4th win of the season. I also need that extra 3 points because it seems the best guy on our division didnt submit his answer So I need to win this one. Dang why cant I get a free 3 points, well grats @LTU_btc

7 different answers between us, this is going to be a rough one. Lets have a good round  


@cryptofrka : I sent u a PM but it seems my answers were the same as recorded so ignored that mail mate, thanks !  

[cryptofrka]

My problem as a participant is to stop thinking like I'm betting. You look for value in betting, you look to outthink your opponent in BSFL. Not the same thing.

Yup, exactly. That's why although I feel LMS will be a huge success, I think no other format can match the longevity of BSFL.
Playing for the best overall total is fun, but needing that 3 points every week in a H2H duel brings a whole new layer of randomness and suspense.

3 different answers between me and ralle14 in a game in which we both badly need the win. Considering the significance, I'll hedge my answers with some real money bets.

All VAR's have been inserted, ping me in case yours isn't there and I'll recheck.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Congrats @shogun47.

It was a fierce match with @ILuckyGuyI, even though if @ILuckyGuyI can beat you, I can go to direct promotions, unfortunately my expectations are different from reality.

It was a really competitive game indeed. I only needed Hurkacz to win against Dimitrov but he failed too hard.    Maybe you can still promote to Division 2 through playoffs who knows.

Congrats @shogun47 and @Kokee44 for your direct promotions! I wish I was in shogun47's place.    But missing one week has even cost me my playoffs chance. Damn, how did I miss that alarm... My target next time is going to be direct promotion. No matter I achieve my target or not, I'm having fun anyway of course. But a promotion would motivate my team much more though. 

[darxiaomi]

Super sad to not winning the points on the field, seeing mv1986 late submision i took a good win anyways and a needed win for me.

I send a super late VAR when i see Djokovic drop the tournament, so i spend a VAR in a non sense round.

The sad part, im not gonna comment so much in the midweek. I think im gonna start to prepare my team for the lastman of eurocup.

[buwaytress]

Congratulations to Div3 winners, see you soon, hopefully not next season haha

Sorry to be dumb but what's LMS? But yes, even from season 1, I thought BSFL was the format we all needed to keep things going. It's serious enough that you need to be interested in sports to want to look things up yet simple enough that even a Gen Xer like me can still figure out my way around a search engine to find out a few things (but I did need the Liquipedia tip for eSports haha). My only concern then was if people would keep on playing but I'm very happy to see that there are enough bastards to keep it going, with at least a stable flow of incoming/outgoings. Rikafip and the evil fee even proved it's attractive enough to keep people coming back after dropping out!

Did you get a record VAR this week? It was quite a late withdrawal.

Sadder for me, as I would not only thrash Trofo, but overtake you if mv didn't forget!

Kidding aside I also feel like writing questions is more of hinderance than help. It helps because we already do the research up front so we are never answering out of the blue but as cryptofrka says, we make margins to get even split. Meaning they are worst possible margins for us to choose from.
New article is up guys
https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/news/bitcoin-sports-fanatics-league-round-round-11-review

Can't believe I sent YOU my VAR too at first haha.

I can relate -- if I were doing questions, I'd feel like I know enough, yet be duty-bound to get to 50/50, and yet still feel partial to a pick in spite of the odds.

Nice article, too. It's as if one guy you talk up will forget to submit. It was me during cup, and now Saint-loup, who must be feeling so bored at the top to want to completely wipe out his 4-point advantage

It's first time when I got free 3 points in whole time as I play in BSFL. Offcourse, it would be more fun to get these 3 points after fight, but it's big help for me in final rounds.
But now I wasted last my VAR after Djokovic retired from Roland Garros

[Kokee44]

Congratulations Kokee44 and shogun47

I can't thank you enough mate, best of luck for you

[slackovic]

It's oy the first day and I already lost a point. So far it's 1-1 between Ireland and Hungary so if it stays like that, my opponent won't get a point. These friendly games are hard to predict so I just went with their H2H games and most of them were with 0 or 1 goal. That's why I went with 0-1 goal.

Friendlies, and mostly national team matches are usually just a coin flip, past history and result barely play a part in the future result because their are often team overhauling and replacements every now and then, it's easier to just follow the bookies trend or odds sometimes too when you have no clue about this teams.

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

I guess a lot of people expected Djokovic to withdraw from the French Open or at least not make the finals due to his injury, I couldn't pick Ruud because his side of the draw still looks rather tough while Sinner is looking geared up, my biggest fear was that Djokovic could play and knock Ruud out before finally withdrawing and that contributed to my sticking with the lower bracket of the draw.

Alcaraz is looking to take a stroll past Tsitsipas, I guess that is the bracket where our winner will surely come from!

[CLS63]

notblox1, It looks like we have quite many different answers in this round. The winner might be decided quite fast.    I'm thankful for Ireland to score that 2nd goal in the stoppage time. This goal helped me start off 1-0. By the way I see only 3 people including me predicting Dallas Mavericks to win Game 1. Boston Celtics have a home advantage maybe but I wanted to give Dallas Mavericks a chance. They are my favourite to win the final series as well.

[notblox1]

Shit! Ireland scoring winning goal in stoppage time just ruined my prediction for two goals in this game  
I have answered only one time like cls63 so there is chance for comeback in next days and my players are ready.
Good luck everyone in this round except cls63, because I feel blood in water

Enjoy while you can, it was stoppage time lucky shot that saved you in the first question, but now it is my turn.

Now outthinking Trofo appears easy.

It is easy, provably easy

[cryptofrka]

Sorry to be dumb but what's LMS?

It's the Last Man Standing format. Will be fun, will be risky, will probably be implemented into next season's BSFL.
What I meant to say that all of these make you lose interest if you start slow because you play for the top number on the screen and in BSFL the bigger joy is slamming Igebotz to Division 3 than anything else. So even if I'm out of everything, I'll still play for that joyful feeling.

I usually go for over goals, tonight's game screamed under. What to say, another wrong choice

Considering how dominant Boston is, its pretty dang risky to take Dallas to win though but if they win then its a jackpot these 3 risk taker

I didnt think they will score the 2nd goal either. Its kinda mixed feelings for me because I hedge my answers with Ireland to win because I kinda expect that they would win 1-0 but I picked 2 goals just in case the score is going to be 1-1 but heck its turned out to be 2-1 in the end



Gotta roll all these profit from free bets to get decent amount to pay off all those next season's pool buy-in fee LOL

[Igebotz]

What direction do you think I programmed and where do you think I'm headed?

Bottom of the ocean?

Do I look like I'm using OceanicGate here? Keep giving me reasons to wreck your promotional party. Too much crap talking from a team in my division whose only achievement is getting promotion to division 1 via playoffs and then being relegated back to division 2. I'm shit but you're not far from the gang. Mid to mid Chat - where is the shame.

We're both going to be in division 2 for next season I can feel it in my balls. I've survived from worse situation.

Nice catch you've got there, I on the other hand couldn't make anything off 7 freebets!

I hate national side footballs and especially when there are not NBA matches to console myself with 

Italy burned me the most today, I'm actually really curious to see how they'll fair in the Euros, a total write off for me by the way!

[el che]

Managed to submit my first ever comprehensive sports exam, aka BSFL. Took me about an hour to research through the different sports in question, i never imagined I'd be looking up waterpolo teams, let alone wagering on them, figured it would make it easier to find out later if I got the right finalists.
I like the challenge of discovering and exploring new things, so this game is right up my alley. Looking forward to getting even deeper into the unknown.

[slaman29]

Now I have to find a way to celebrate Irish win in a friendly, by looking for Guiness Stout lol You know this is one of the most 'out there' questions, answers were practically split evenly in 3 ways of participants

0-1 = 16 people
2 = 15 people
3 or more = 14 people

That's what you call a GOOD question

[Harkorede]

0-1 = 16 people
2 = 15 people
3 or more = 14 people

That's what you call a GOOD question

I mean, I could not agree more with you, and looking at how the question turned out, During the first 35 minutes of the game, one would have thought 0-1 was probably the best choice of answer, only for their hopes to get dashed inside 4 minutes. Then exact 2 seem like the order of the day from that point up to about a minute or thereabout left before the game ends before the 3rd goal came about. That's to say each group of people for sure would have felt confident about their answers at one point of the game or the other, these are the kind of questions that should end each game round
