⭐⚽⭐ Rainbet's Bitcointalk Sports Fanatics League (BSFL) – 13000$ rewards ⭐⚽⭐

[igebotz]

7 questions gone and I'm still without a single correct answers; how I'm still alive in this round needs to be studied cause honestly I don't deserve anything from this round.

If Parivison fails to beat Yandex and the F1 question goes to "anyone else" I'll scam a point from this disastrous round.

In DOTA now team PARIVISION and Yandex have made it to the semifinals which is bad news for me, as Harkorede has PARI to win final

Is Yandex that good? I see that according to Rainbet they are the favorites in that match.

I don't know shit about that boring sport E-sport but looking at both teams recent h2h Yandex is unbeaten against Parivison in 4 fixtures this year; 2W, 2D. Why is the fixture not on Stake ? I've been looking for it all day.

That probably explains why Yandex is the favorite. One of the favorites is already out though, as Team Falcons lost their 1/4 match and I hope Yandex ends up the same.

But just in case, I hedged so I don't go out of this round empty handed.

It is on Rainbet. 

[Harkorede]

I don’t even know how good Yandex is, I went with Falcons and Parivision simply because I don’t want both of pick to contradict each other before the finals, and deciding between Falcons and Parivision was a 50/50 decision for me, I hope I went with the correct team.

I went with those two simply because I (vaguely) remembered Trofo chosing them in the past lol. And my guess was right as we answered exactly the same.  

Looks like Vici Gaming is also a viable candidate, as they have a 1-0 lead over Team Falcons. Anyway, that match is irrelevant to me, since all I need is for PARIVISION to reach the final to win that question.

Team Falcons lost in straight map to Vici Gaming which means I can no longer lose that question, I just need Parivision to go all the way to get the advantage while I’ll have to keep an eye on Formula 1 as well, I need Antonelli to come through, is there supposed to be some qualifiers or sprint today or everything starts tomorrow?

Today only 2 practice sessions (2nd about to start), tomorrow 3rd practice and then qualifying session. No sprints in Belgium.

So yeah, the real stuff starts tomorrow.

I want to keep Rainbet balance strictly for WC games - I saw some Dota fixtures on the Stake this week maybe it'd be updated before kickoff/playtime or whatever they call it in Dota. Thanks but I'll wait a little

I also need to hedge the Dota question so I don't crash out without anything for beer.

F1 boys is there any hope of the race going to "anyone else"?

[Jinetics1111]

Man I can't stand Esports either but it is what it is fucking Nigma is not even in contention with BB, nothing to salvage the week now heading for a loss here but it's all good just gotta lock in for the remaining weeks and keep the aim set on promo and filter out the noise, just a terrible week overall good job cro2 these questions were excellent.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

I know i dont understand anything about e sports, but i always think team falcons are one of the biggest team around and they are always a "safe" choice, so..... what happened with them? Now i need parivision to win against the yandex team or whatever it is called to take the point, if they lose im cooked since my rival hose have them between their finalist.

@Rikafip it's looking pretty good for you

The DOTA question is probably yours, I didn't check the odds but I believe PARIVISION is the favourite for their next matchup and that would be your point. F! is tough to say, Antonelli is not a bad pick, but not a sure winner either. I think in a best case scenario I can tie this round. For a win a lot of things would have to go my way and as far as I can remember, it didn't happen all too often for me

[Rikafip]

Maybe at first, but if you check it more thoroughly, you will see that its still very opened and it can go either way.

The DOTA question is probably yours, I didn't check the odds but I believe PARIVISION is the favourite for their next matchup and that would be your point.

According to bookies, Yandex are the favorites.

F! is tough to say, Antonelli is not a bad pick, but not a sure winner either.

Nothing is sure in F1, but he is the main favorite. Odds on him winning the race dropped down to 2 after his performance in the 2nd practice session.

I think in a best case scenario I can tie this round.

You can still win this. You need Antonelli to win, France to beat England and Yandex to beat Parivision. Sounds a lot, but all of them are favorites.

Ok didn't know about Yandex because for some reason I remembered PARIVISION as being the favourite quite often, but whatever. Thanks for letting me know then because that opens the door for a relatively good value hedge bet. F1 is tough to hedge I think as the markets are not like "Antonelli win - yes or no". But this still gives me pretty good odds and would be at least partially an insurance against a loss.



Now if Antonelli wins, it would be perfect insurance. If Antonelli loses, it is still an insurance against getting totally slaughtered and score difference may make the difference eventually

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Low scoring match up for team LFC_Bitcoin this week. After 7 questions we lead 2-1, both my opponents picks for the DOTA question are already out so I think I am guaranteed at least one finalist due to picking Yandex & PARAVISION to make the final, that will put me 3-1 up. We have different answers for the F1 question but after studying answers to Q10 I think he can not beat us so it is a 6th win in a row for promotion chasing LFC_Bitcoin.

[el che]

Both of my Dota picks are out so my only hope is that Parivision loses their semifinal match so I can secure the victory. Even if things go sideways on the esports front, I still have the safety net of an Argentina win to seal the deal.
As for LMS it's a mess right now but I guess we're all in the same boat. With 2 points being the maximum score after 7 questions you can tell just how tricky the mafia made the questions for this round. I’m hoping for at least one more correct answer to secure my spot for another week in LMS.

[notblox1]

In this round for me it all comes down to DOTA match between Team Yandex and PARIVISION.
I am supporting Team Yandex and they are favorites if we look at bookmakers odds, but anything can happen when playing games.
I think I also have small advantage in last question about world cup top 4 placement, but I could done much better with that question.

[MAAManda]

Our team suffered another defeat in the league round, it was certainly a tough challenge, given that our opponent was the team leading the Division 2 standings. Relegation is a certainty for our team after @Trofo tallies up this round, there are four rounds left to at least save the team from Division 3, LOL.

GG @Da_silva! your team deserved that early win.

I think last year the most popular picks were Team Spirit, MOUZ, Team liquid, then BetBoom came on board; this season I started seeing Parivison, Team Falcons and now there's Yandex from nowhere. I've never watched anyone in my life and have no idea if those behind are teenagers or adults.

There's always a new team dominating for x period of time but not for too long.

[goodpunt]

If I'm not wrong, both Yandex and Paravision were flip-flop favs in the outrights market.
I hope Paravision will take the win and if they do I will never make fun of DOTA and their playoff brackets ever again

I also can't wait for the rest of FPs in F1 that should give us a clearer picture of what to expect in qualifying!

[Rikafip]

I did basically the opposite of you + adding Antonelli to win. What sucks though is that your picks are the favorites so my odds are not as good as yours.

Yes but at least you got the perfect hedge now. There is no in between result and you can't lose or you make cash since you got a 2-1 lead and the only way to lose this is by losing all three questions. My hedge is imperfect, but I got better odds, so yeah, we'll see

I don't think France - England is as clear as some may think because a game for 3rd place is kind of different from a game for 1st place. Motivation is different, emotions are different, since these two teams wanted nothing but the title. It will be about who can get themselves into the perfect state of mind faster than the other.

It is indeed different, as it seems that none of those two teams are interested much in playing it. I can maybe understand France as they are winning championships on the regular basis and they were the favorites to win this WC as well, but England didn't win a medal at WC since 1966 so one would think that they would want to win something this time.
Despite all that, I still think that France will win it simply because of the experience.

Regarding F1, qualifications finished, Antonelli at the pole position.

[Jinetics1111]

Man this loss is really gonna sting but gotta keep the eyes on the prize and my team motivated they got a little to complacent during the break, but this is a mere bump in the road as we will be back in form next round and seeing that there isn't too many left we definitely have to buckle down and keep our chins up, Oh yeah gg's paco92x good luck on your next round.
