It's a really crazy game, 4 goals under just 20 mins and it doesn't look like it will end there, we could have 10 goals here, lol.

Yep. I am watching as well and Dortmund almost scored again. So yeah, even though they are 2 goals behind, I have a feeling that anything could still happen here + I've been traumatised by the all the losses from previous seasons so can't be relaxed even when "my" team has 2 goals lead.

There might be some drama to end this match, Dortmund have pulled one back again, it's 3-2 with some 8 minutes left to play, it's really too close for comfort, especially because my opponent have the match as a draw.

I totally forgot to pay fee for LMS so I am out of that competition, but my proposition is for mafia to introduce payback at later rounds.
For example, if I was kicked out in Round 3 than I can pay and get back in Round 5.

I really don't think anybody would miss out on a round and then try to buy back in for whatever reason that might be...

I dont see any negatives for doing that and pot will increase.

Nope, can't allow this. Take this as an example:

- you are 5th overall, decide not to buy back
- a terrible round happens, 3 leaders are eliminated
- you buy back a round later in a better position

Yeah, they might buy back as well, but creates an uneven arena. Think of it like poker - if you wanna see the next card, pay up.

Borussia a goal short, I honestly felt the draw is coming after that goal for 3-2. A great game overall.

[ralle14]

Man, I was praying for a draw when that penalty came in for Dortmund in the second half.

We're still sitting at zero points, and at this rate, if we miss another question I might be the one taking the hit this week and would need to pay the LMS fee for the next round.

[Spack17]

I have started BSFL really quite good this year and I'm going on surprisingly good in LMS as well. I assume allocating more time to questions has had a lot of benefits in this. Is there anyone who sold their team from Division 1 last season? I started to think of buying a team seriously next season. 

[slaman29]

WTF Samsanova retired, gave Keys an easy final appearance. So many shitty retirements, I don't really follow tennis but I think this is the most retirements I've seen in a single competition. One every round. Is this even normal? And they all chose to retire when they thought they were losing. What's that about.

It is the week before AO. Nobody is gonna risk anything. Consider tournaments played this week as friendly game before World Cup in football. Yeah, you want to win, but if you feel even something small like fatigue you are not playing that game and risking it.

Believe it or not I didn't understand what you were talking about until I looked all this things up. I wasn't aware that the same people playing here gonna play in Australian Open lol.

But at the same time this reasoning doesn't make sense for Pegula (#1) to also now win the final right? Anyway, makes things interesting!

Could be that, or could be luck How anyone can predict Sporting and Leverkusen to win precisely is just a guess I would say.

Oh I totally forgot about sales of teams, did anybody manage to close the deal?

[Trofo]

Pretty sure they allow you to pay at later date only if you promise to pay before the round started if that is what you mean

We can always work with delayed payment if necessary, usually we just pay to the escrow and wait for guys to repay us. I think he just forget altogether about it.


This round not looking good for me 

[General_Bitcoin]

I was never expected Madison Key can win title because usually she lost in quarterfinal and semifinal but this time we have impressive run from her, she won Adelaide Open in good time now she can do good in AO.
We have only one member with correct prediction @cls63 about this for me its last round in LMS 6 questions and 0 point Bayer Leverkusen is now surely strong contender with Bayern Munich for the title race this was amazing stuff from them.

This round not looking good for me 

Switch the word "round" for "season" and we are in the same boat, haha!


@Harkorede, like always this season it's looking great for me. Eurolague basketball was perhaps not the smartest decision I think and I usually go against the favorites if it's about three teams as Trofo and cryptofrka frame the questions such that there are three opponent underdogs that are indeed able to beat the apparent favorites. However, Monaco right away losing the first game, well how else could it have been...

The Leverkusen game, man... I saw the beginning and it was ridiculous. In German there is saying "haste Scheiße am Schuh, haste Scheiße am Schuhe", which translates into "if you got shit on your shoes, you'll get further shit on your shoes". Leverkusen all possession below 20% in the first 19 minutes, three shots on target and three goals. Any questions? But I promise I had to smile. A draw was still possible until the final minute, but this point gives you at least a draw and since I chose Arsenal with 1-goal difference to win, this is most likely your round as a win with any goal difference above that would invalidate the question for me.

But hey, still hoping for the first point this season! Well played!

I guess I was just lucky with the basketball, and on a different day the game between Dortmund and Leverkusen could have ended as draw, but it didn't... I'm happy that I'm no longer in position to lose, the worse result for me now is a draw, I hope it wouldn't come to that though, because I lost in the last round from a supposedly decent leading position. Good luck the rest of the season 

[cryptofrka]

2 people were interested to sell, I think they were Kokee and arallmuus. I assume it won't be cheap though.

Oh I totally forgot about sales of teams, did anybody manage to close the deal?

Three Division 3 teams were sold - but just for double buy-in and without the extra fee to the players. Hhampuz, execijutiere and bullrun2024bro were kind enough to offer these teams to the community free of charge.

[un_rank]

After a terrible start to the round, going 2 points down from the first 2 questions, I have been able to pull it back to 2-2, thanks to the Leverkusen win last night. With 3 more different answers I fancy my chances of being able to steal all 3 points this time.

To think in the Arsenal-United question, my opponent is expecting a bigger win than I am. I just do not see how we will score many goals and cover -1.5 handicap, but who knows?

Sorry that I am late on this one. Should be ok I hope.

Woodie three questions to go with two of them being decided ultimately. Atletico Madrid to concede a goal or not, I think it is equally likely that they concede a goal or not. I don't know about the FA Cup games. It could be decided today after Brentford and Nottingham played, but could as well take till tomorrow. Wish me some luck!

What a boring match between Udinese-Atalanta.. I didn't expect a 0-0 match, but it was good enough for me.. I need all lms points that I can get😁

Come on Brentford!!! Damn I need alot of goal in 2nd half 😁

I watched last 20 minutes, nothing much happened but according to stats Udinese was way better in first half.

I also need Brentford to bring this home and score 3 or more goals. Not gonna happen so that means buwaytress is winning that H2H and our duel. Congrats man, of course I let you win  no way I would loose otherwise.

Now just hoping to avoid LMS buyback....

[un_rank]

Forest have made it 2 now. Come on Luton you have to keep it this way and not concede another. If I can get than no right, I have a chance to level the tie again. A real surprise Brentford have failed to score while playing at home, they are usually impeccable on home ground.

What went on in the Atalanta game? Was not expecting a goalless draw by any means.

[General_Bitcoin]

Cro2 mafia successful into their dirty politics in last round they disrupted to Sheriff @Igebotz, and he is out of LMS now in this round General_ Bitcoin is also treated like crap already 7 questions gone with 0 point on board mean end of journey in LMS and also badly down in moral.

Such a disgraceful way of treating peoples here by this mafia feeling sad after having result like this because I am not bad as my results are showing here.

Incredible the game between Udinese and Atalanta, unwatcheable, i dont know what happen there.

I was expecting a solid Atalanta victory over the Udine team.

At least my rival dont took the point.

I never expected Atalanta vs Udinese to end goalless, I was more concerned if it was going to be Under or Over 3.5, after BTTS, but it really doesn't matter for my duel, and my LMS stay seemed to be complete already.


Nottingham Forest scoring just 2 goals have helped me secure my 3 points for this round, It's all about point differences and getting more points for LMS now for me.

[arallmuus]

Did I miss anything important guys?
I see I won only one point so far in this round, and I was away for most of the week so I didnt follow what was going on in the forum.

Nothing much really aside from the fact that I currently have an edge on question #10. I have Pegula to win so yeah if she wins tomorrow then Im getting point from this question. You might wanna start praying that Keys beat her tomorrow. Even bookies have Keys at slightly favourite. Keys to retire tomorrow would be sweet for me 

Dang man, after I wrote this the favour of the round goes to you immediately

Update on this :

Pegula lost to keys which deny my potential points, this question ends with a draw for us

You got another point on Udinese - Atalanta which currently leaves us on tie but you got an edge on question #7 with Brentford failing to score 3 goals so this question could end with a tie if Crystal Palace fail to score 3

Im skeptical that this round could end with a draw for us   , Im losing for sure
