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

Mexico is winning 2:0 and will prob advance; after I will be tied 2-0 with my opponent.
I can already tell this is going to be a competitive round.

^

Ecuador just showed how much of fraud they for even qualifying for the tournament, they couldn’t score in their first matches and were saved by the lackluster performances for the already group-winning Germany side, now they’re back to being terrible, big ups to Mexico for beyond just the host nation tag, they’re pretty much going to give England a run for their money if the should meet in the next round.

Now, I’m trailing by 2 points, but this one is far from being over…

It's actually not bad for me that Mexico won even if I lost a BSFL and LMS point here.
Mexico is my last World Cup outright selection alive

Unfortunately the odds are still quite high but have now some liquidity within the outrights market and could start to hedge!

Cryptofrka, I think there is a mistake on the BSFL spreadsheet, the question was how dominant would France be,
* France to win while keeping a clean sheet
* France to win while conceding.

Scores:
France 3:0 Sweden

France did win while keeping a clean sheet but, you marked that as wrong and gave the answer to those that predicted France to concede, even with Sweden not managing to get a goal. You might want to check and update that.

My opponent doesn't need luck this time, but good luck to everyone else.

You gave me a gift Jay and it was well received. I just realized I have zero need for worry.
Would this be your third miss? Because if that is, then it would mean you are disqualified for the season and would be relegated for sure.

i really missed the deadline to submit my ten answers for this round, so my opponent, Ochan_yazo_tochant, wins the game by default, 3-0.
this is the first time something like this has happened to me... need to focus more on the bsfl again and make sure i don't get relegated

We are aware of the mistake, unfortunately, neither of us is by computer at the moment. Will be taken care of latest at the evening.

Same goes for possible 3rd strike. I will double check that one in the evening with my table and update as necessary.

Fellas, a huge number of you are yet to submit. Yep, sure, Wimbledon - but pay attention to the deadlines.

I was one of those waiting for Wimbledon results, just to realise few minutes ago that I am playing against Slissy this round, who has been disqualified.

Time to submit the answers I guess. Cool

Enjoy the break, I'm still very upset at @Slissy because I probably lost the most from him since in our duel I won 6-0 but you know what would make me quit? If @cryptofrka also drops out because I won 7-1 against him Tongue

What happened here, you were using BSFL to hedge right? I went all-in on Mexico everywhere actually, man these guys are pure football tacticians. 0 goals conceded from all continents and they got a tough Asian team also but of course not yet meet a strong Europe team unless we still think Cezechia is a strong team lol

What were your outright picks? I'm Argentina as usual

Mafia we should try keep team element in BSFL or as a new side competition like LMS Grin

That's probably not happening but we believe there is a good chance we keep the promo running separately. Maybe for Champions League games Cool

We shall see when WC ends, how successful our promos ended up being and then decide together with Rainbet what is worth keeping and what shall be scrapped. So it is up to all of you to make them as good as possible Grin

Imagine in individual ones people can forget to submit imagine a team one running all the time, 1 member does not show up,,, penalties. Team mates start yelling and cursing Grin

Yes,,, you are right that is why our team showed up very early and we are talking about WPRA all the time in different threads, we did not even start playing and we were talking about it a lot. It really should continue so let us hope so.

The same thing happened to my opponent, as he also missed the deadline. Including you, that makes a total of three people in Division 3 who have failed to submit their picks on time. Of course, the three points are very helpful for me, even though I would have preferred to earn them fairly on the field through actual competition.

Still, I am more than happy to take them, as I am currently sitting in second to last place in the standings. At this stage of the season, every single point can make a difference in the relegation battle, so I certainly cannot afford to complain about receiving these three points.

Four people in the third division failed to submit their answers.
In addition to the three names you see in the spreadsheet, LFC_Bitcoin also failed to submit his answers. Cryptofrka probably missed it when updating the spreadsheet.

Edit:
LFC_Bitcoin submitted his answers before the deadline. Sorry for the wrong information and thanks to welovebit for the correction.

I was coming to point out the mistake but seems like other guy already did it so nothing to say. For me doesnt change anything since in that question i had the same answer with my rival of this round.

In the second question i avoid a bullet since i went with a risk Ecuador to win and my rival went with a draw, but MExico was on fire and destroy Ecuador in a fast way with two goals in the first half.

I’ve started well this week with 2/2. Would be good if Belgium score & over 2.5 goals, with England scoring 3 or more. Would put me in great shale to be 4/4.

I need to just keep winning to have a shot at one of the promotion places, the competition is so hard though even in Division 3.

Quote from: hosemary on Today at 12:12:04 PM

Here I think you are missing something because I just checked LFC_Bitcoin is in the 10th spot in the spreadsheet he is having one correct and one wrong reply.

Today, Mafia gave me a shock because I was expecting one wrong and one correct, but I have both correct, which are going to be corrected soon.

Oh, you are right.
After I read this post in which LFC_Bitcoin said "I almost forgot about BSFL, three others did in Division 3 as they didn’t submit", I thought he failed to submit his answers too. I missed the word "almost".

Thank you so much for the correction.

Great start Angry

Already I'm down 2:0. It was a lot nicer when we played the Cup. Still, I have a lot of questions that are different from my opponent's, but after a day like this, I can say that I'm not that positive I have what it takes to get out of this mess.

The wrong grading is now corrected, which means I have my 2-0 lead restored. God knows I need a win here.

Still a lot of different answers between me and Harkorede, but it's nice to have this buffer early on in the duel. LMS points will come in handy at this point in the season as well.

No break really, as long as Team Croatia is alive and kicking in Road to Glory. Wink

Damn, that must hurt, beating him fair and square 6–0, just to have it changed to 3–0. And then there are those who benefited from it. As for me, I won't say no to an easy win and the 3 points that will keep me close to the top.

If that’s the case, then we’ll give the fans a fight they’ll be talking about for weeks Grin

. And just so we have a lot of different questions between us, a recipe for a good fight.

As for Marathon, Mafia made the questions easy, so I’m picking them off like flies — not so confident when it comes to BSFL. I think Mafia made the picks for Marathon easy on purpose so they can grab the money, but I’ll give them a fight for it Cheesy

Well, that's how I should fly out of the blocks every game -- but last season I started many rounds with a 2-0 lead and still squandered them, so I'm not counting me chickens just yet, wee paco, don't you worry your mop just yet.

Wait, so you're winning those without the help of betslips? I should pay more attention to this sorcery == admitting I'm just shooting those questions from the hip!

Quote from: cygan on Today at 08:15:36 AM

Woah I guess you were too focus on Road to Glory that you forgot about your own submission on BSFL Grin

Nice hedge you got there but for our matchup there is 6 more to go and its not looking good for me right now as England is losing to Congo. This is the like the 2nd time I picked Yes on 3 favourites to win questions but somehow it backfired

Well with all those jobs pilling up, I guess its time to hire the 3rd mafia Roll Eyes
