⭐⚽⭐ Rainbet's Bitcointalk Sports Fanatics League (BSFL)

Really needed a BSFL break.
My team lost momentum and even got handed their biggest loss of the current season in the last round.
The only positive is that we broke a personal LMS record when we survived 11 rounds without a rebuy!
Good luck to all cup participants!

Goodpunt, I agree with you 100%. I also need a break with only a single point to my name this week. It seems that the team needs a little break; their performance is down due to all of the players gathering in someone's house and watching all the WC games, and then they cannot run due to exhaustion. We will try to implement some changes and rules. I hope that they reduce the number of games that they watch Grin

Well with now three wins in a row I think I am on an uptrend. As far as I can see, most of the teams ahead of me won their round as well, so that last win didn't make much of a difference except for keeping me in touch with them.

Need to keep up mental pressure on @slaman29, I know he can't take it anymore, feeling my breath in his neck. Next round after the cup he will drop full three points and I'll close the gap! Wink

@Koal-84 nothing lost yet. You probably need like 10/18 points in the last six rounds and I guess you would be safe. In my case maybe 8-9 points would do unless I lose rounds against potential relegators.

Why are you after me bro, I am a survivor every season or failure. Just trying to eat my bread and keep alive, its the mafia you need to be after, they are eating all the meat and giving us the bones.

This cup could be the hydration break we all need where the mafia are too busy showing ads to pay attention to tactics change.

About relegators, we should see potential promoters also, and happy to see @buwa struggling he really wants to meet @igebotz so badly.

A first time for the BSFL cup, to happen two times in a week but I like it!

I think we had it already, maybe during last EUROs or something like that. It's rare but I'm 99% sure it isn't the first.
We could have asked some generic questions but it's really problematic - so this way is better.

We'll see how the schedule will treat us in the knockouts. Will not be easy to write questions on Sunday for next Sunday Grin

Oops I did not remember this, but makes sense. Maybe I was already out of cup by then which is no surprise

The bookies are doing weird things with knockouts, not naming teams but putting like 'Group A winner vs Group B runner up' type markets. WC is really heaven for them!!

As I said in my previous post, it was the first two rounds of the cup in season 7, during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
You were not out of the cup. You even qualified for the second round and submitted your answers on Thursday.

Fellas, don't forget to submit answers for the Cup. A lot of people still missing..

The Cup break will do me a lot of good - my team is in a terrible streak. Good luck to all still participating and God willing the small Mafia will win.

Even though I am still competing in the cup, I feel exactly the same way. The last rounds have been quite disappointing for me, and I am honestly glad about this short break. The cup itself is nice, but personally it is not that important to me. Of course, you always hope to advance and achieve a good result, but we will have to wait and see how things turn out.

Good luck to all cup participants!

Thank you for the good wishes, I really appreciate it, and now I can only hope for the best going forward. 😉

Not used to being "live" in the cup this long

Still, tactic remains the same, fielding youth team and letting my first squad rest on Ibiza. I think this was fastest ever submission from my side. All the questions filled from the head without giving them any second thoughts. Feel great about my answers so probably 0 correct coming up Grin

Portugal is currently cooking might see a 5 or 6 goals in this game and plus they have ground to make up after starting off the tournament on the bad foot, jesus CR7 why couldn't you score for me last week after Messi delivered that sweet hat trick guess it's all in the game just a goal too late ah well. Grin

There are two different question between myself and Paco92x for this cup round, and I don't think I feel confident with my answers yet again, especially my choice for going with Under 3.5 goals in the Ecuador vs Germany, I know Germany have next to nothing to play for which is why it is more tricky, but if Ecuador can be defensively spot on, then I might have chance on that one, the other question is Switzerland vs Canada where I want for a draw, I guess I could still live with that.

Well, only one identical question and four different ones, which suggests it's going to be an interesting week. Some questions are a real coin flip, so I have a feeling we might end up going to penalties, where it simply comes down to Yes vs. No. He picked "Yes" every single time.

On the other hand, only four teams selected Switzerland, including my rival, but the under or the over still has to come into play.
Assuming, of course, that this option ends up being relevant. Anyway...GL B1g4udge

Lets go for another Cup win!
It would be great to see a draw between Switzerland and Canada, but that was a risky prediction based mostly on the fact that Canada is playing at home ground.
I want to get back on winning road and getting in next cup round would finally break many seasons of my bad cup results.

Quote from: notblox1 on June 23, 2026, 08:22:17 PM

Definitely can happen they both are already gone clear to the knockout rounds already so they might play it easy, I can't see them risking it especially since Canada already lost a key defender last game might be a 1-1 type game but you never know, good luck on your cup round. Grin

Aw, that's why, that's why I thought there was something odd about one of your answers, mate.

Specifically in the fourth question, you chose "Both teams to score - Yes, over 3.5 goals" which I think is risky. The match is predicted to have goals under 3,5 with a stronger chance than the over option. If you're that confident in your choice, mate. I don't think it's a bad idea to place bets directly on the crypto casino platform you use.

We have the same answer, mate. Judge by the odds, we have an advantage in that answer. See the odds I attached above Wink

Ghana with a lovely performance they put on today, was it one of the questions? Didn't bother to look but could imagine they were on there but man I didn't expect that at all I thought goals would've been scored but nope lost some money and the nerve to continue betting World Cup for the moment Grin

Had Kane for at least a goal and for England to win but Ghana had other plans so hats off to them keep a clean sheet. Grin

I could have sworn that I had Croatia to win and BTTS score "No", and I really can't explain how or why I changed my decision, it must have been some memory I'm not aware of, and I can wish this would not end up burning me.

Same here they just watch too many matches....but the real problem is they also drink way too much and don't sleep at all Cheesy

We will also try to counter it since BSFL is equally important.
One thing is for sure our Division is too competitive on both ends let's win our remaining matches

Quote from: Harkorede on June 23, 2026, 07:37:58 PM

Harkorede, I would like to first wish you luck. Don't worry; this season, I’m not having much luck, so you’re already halfway to winning the cup round. Something extraterrestrial needs to happen for me to win a match. I might think my picks are better, but we will shortly see if that’s true! Grin

Competition in Div.2 is brutal. I didn't expect to be thrown into the league like a ragdoll. I'm hoping to finish 14th so I avoid the relegation battle, but we will see.

To quote myself..

Fellas - as already said, we'll continue with the Cup.

It will be a bit different than usual - we will post one round now and then another one on Wednesday.
This one will be until Friday morning, the next one after it - we don't know the relevance of the upcoming games yet so it's better this way.

This means that the questions for Cup Round 4 are ready to go. You will know befre the deadline whether you need to submit or not but giving you time to analyze and prepare your answers.
You can all submit - so if you want to play it safe feel free to submit without knowing if you'll reach the next round or not. We'll simply not grade it if you don't.

The questions for Cup Round 4 are here!

Good time until Friday Wink

The week started well with the first correct answer, and I am now one point ahead of my competitor. Today’s game between Switzerland and Canada is irrelevant, as we both predicted a draw. Therefore, things will only become interesting again with the third yes or no question, which could potentially change the outcome of the competition and bring new excitement into the situation.

Thank you Croatia for the first point which @pina_pino did not get right,,, honestly I thought it was gonna be 3-0 but it turns out we were very lucky to see the win. Next up I want a draw
