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

[Koal-84]

By now you should know the drill but I will repeat some things anyway:
*check your BTC addressees and let me know if you need change, this is a combination of last year and sign up thread. If it is ok, no need to say anything.
*some league places and cup places are not final, that will be settled after the games this week. Numbers for those still playing could be wrong
*Season 10 buy ins are auto deducted. If you plan to leave BSFL (you receive full reward then) now is the moment to tell me. After rewards go out it will not be possible anymore.

Thank you, Trofo, for putting everything together so quickly. Everything is perfect for me, and I am already looking forward to the next season. As cygan has already mentioned, our first goal is to remain in Division 3. However, with a little luck, I would like to finish the upcoming season in the top half of the table.

And @Trofo, please use the same BTC address for the cup payout as you used for the division payout. Thank you!

[Trofo]

@trofo We already discussed this on telegram, but I guess I still need to post it here.

Please send my prizes to the following btc addresses:

2 mbtc Duelbits FPL: bc1qnh935anxezk6paxhjkqrp5p8g4c6urv9s0yfel
1 mbtc Rainbet RTG: bc1q4eyv7qkseqw2cz897czmxzdlqkah6e840v8nnsjzmzhne6n0pxlqluxqpm

If I won the BSFL Cup Finals. Please send the remaining 3mbtc address to my btc address

Here: bc1qwe09lhuvlpamhqqp7sfv9qtww68lyuydfp0ddn

I don't have a place to enter your wishes in the table. Told you so in telegram as well. Every player has one addy next to his name. So far I have just put this one next to you. bc1qwe09lhuvlpamhqqp7sfv9qtww68lyuydfp0ddn

Sending on 3 different addresses is a bit too much, not to mention not completely fair to all other players. We are paying fee from community pool. if every player wanted money sent to 3 addressees, our tx costs would be much bigger. I have no problem paying side bets inside BSFL since that doesn't do anything for actual Tx. I am still not saying no, just remind a day before tx goes out on telegram.


I think I have caught all your wishes so far. Don't bother to check the link before I update it again in new post. I am making changes on my offline excel copy. There will be updated version on Friday and then final one on Sunday with all the info. We plan to pay on Monday evening.

Please send me your address changes as PM on bitcointalk or as PM telegram, sheet will be public and all off you tagged so you can double check and there isn't transparency problems. Writing it here in the thread is a bit too high chance for me to miss it. I think you guys have no idea how many messages I get on forum or especially on telegram when BSFL season ends and PL season starts. All together was over 50 people that contacted me since that last post I made here


One guy from Div4 decided to say goodbye to BSFL so we are at perfect numbers once again

[VashaUdacha777]

@VashaUdacha777 You really really really should be joining our other pools, I like seeing pool people in BSFL and vice versa

Hi @slaman29  
 
I was thinking about joining Road to Glory, but I’m still not sure. One thing is a World Cup that lasts a month and a half, but the Champions League lasting 9 months puts me off a bit.

In my opinion, it would be better to make the tournament around the Champions League group stage, with 8 rounds up to January.

The 4 group-stage matches of Road to Glory would be Rounds 1–4 of the Champions League.
Road T G- Round of 16 → Round 5 of the Champions League
Road  T G- Quarterfinals → Round 6 of the CL
Road T G- Semifinals → Round 7 of the CL
Road T G- Final → Round 8 of the CL

And then you could make the next Road to Glory 2 around the Champions League playoffs. The playoffs also have 9 rounds — two legs in the Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarterfinals and Semifinals, plus the Final. So that would be 9 rounds in total.

*check your BTC addressees and let me know if you need change

Sent PM regarding the change.

]I believe the old address was Sportsbet which I no longer dare to use

What.... you receive it directly onto a gambling site deposit address? That is just risky considering that sometimes gambling sites could just change their address and not to mention all the hassle of wanting to recover it if it doesnt show up in your balance

I was thinking about joining Road to Glory, but I’m still not sure. One thing is a World Cup that lasts a month and a half, but the Champions League lasting 9 months puts me off a bit.

Well all the other league's pool are also a whole season so this is no different but RTG is fun though because you play alongside the others.

I need to win something next season, so I can start selling the books, and with the prize as low as $50, imagine if I able to sell 20,000 sets, I'll get my first $1m So wild!

I think you will have better chance on making money by betting Hull City to win. Either Carrick sucks or those guy were just better than their previous statistics

It's way better if it's a longer format. The battle for the top spots will be more about skill than luck, the battle for the top goalscorer as well.
I personally feel that the current CL format is ideal for RTG - it works even better than the previous CL formats with 4 teams per groups.

If RTG becomes seasonal, we'll also have seeded teams, player valuations etc - plenty of stuff to play around with.

Not to mention, securing sponsorships is not that easy. There is no sponsor in the world that would pay for 50% of the CL season, even if we saw value in such a competition.

[un_rank]

I'm confirming my participation for next season. Sucks to be back in division 4 after getting promoted up, the team will want a quick bounce back up and then we can think of getting to div. 2 for the first time since we joined BSFL.
This should hopefully be an injury free season for us with no missed deadlines. If we can stay fit all season we should be very competitive.

I want each of you to confirm you will be playing next season. This season we have one team too many in Div4 and it will give us quite a lot of work to accommodate it. We will let you all play but I don't want one of you just not playing after we do that Happened to us in the past. People sign up and than forget about it.

Of course I participated, I waited long enough from the beginning of registration until now, I have read the rules in bsfl and know the consequences.

Indeed it would not be fair to other members if the new participant had half intentions and quit halfway through so I will commit to be consistent in this regard.
Count me in for Division 4 next season.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Gosh, I didn't know this because I only saw that it was a final (my bad not seeing the spreedsheat) because at first I thought that the friendly match would be the same as before where there was a questionnaire with tags but didn't know that the question around this cup final/playoff was being a friendly match.

Sorry cryptofrka and goodpunt, I'm new here so this could be a reminder for me.

No worries "maknae"! It's all good
Can happen when you are new - I also got confused the first time when the questionnaire for the cup is separate and in a different position than the regular one.
So I should have told you about it.

It was also my fault that I didn't see the spreadsheet, so this is how it happened but it became a beginning and a learning of course because it is precisely with what is happening now that I know new things.

Well, it's better that he finds out about all the tips and tricks before the real season starts. I guess this will be his learning lesson so hopefully he won't fail to submit answers when it matters the most

This is true, fortunately it's a friendly game so although I'm a little sorry but there is an important learning for those who start signing up (including me). If this condition occurs in this official match in addition to harming yourself this will also harm other members because our opponents get victory easily.
This has been a positive thing despite my own carelessness.

No worries, it's totally okay. Yeah I was just trying to minimize the fees a bit on my side too. I thought it would be okay since you're the one managing the pools, so I figured it wouldn't be much of an issue. But I completely understand your point things can get complicated when there are multiple addresses and it also affects the transaction fees for the community pool.

Thanks for explaining and sorry for the extra hassle. I'll just stick with the address you already have on the table.

[mv1986]

@Saint-loup this is a draw packed with pain. It only gave you one higher spot while it cost me the chance for relegation play-offs. At least it wasn't very close because the Liverpool game went bad for me regardless. if this had been another nail biting round, ending with this result, it would have even been worse.

You were the main author of your own downfall than anybody else, you remember in the 2nd round where you failed to submit, and after losing by default 3:0 to me, you also had an extra point deducted from your points, all of these eventually decided to add up, I guess, I'm not saying you could have won because I had solid round, 6 scores for that round, 4/8 in regular questions and 8/9 in H2H, which means it would have been tough to be beat, but at least you would have stood a chance. That's why every question and point tend to matter here at the end of the day.

It would have probably not made much of a difference then if you had 6 points in that round. But how did you manage to end up just one point ahead of me when I failed to submit, lol. That makes it -4 points between you and me in one round and yet I have still been close to you.

So apart from that failed submission, I would have still made it to play-offs had I won last round. Now off to div 2, it's sad but I tink I have come back once in the past? Can't really remember right now.

[buwaytress]

jayce. Last Original standing, my brother Harko has joined me in the Division of Death.

Long live jayce!

Sounds fair! I guess you should stop calling yourself uncle biased 

Let’s play for it straight up next season, whoever has the best finish in the league, or Igebotz could join us in a winner takes all, sounds much better huh ?

Good luck to the finalists and those fighting in the playoffs!

I propose mafia handle their business full head on and no breaks, let the new season begin right away, huh.

To be fair, I was called biased by someone who needed to be objective, so I suppose he had to be right in his judgment. I feel like I need to carry the label with pride.

But yes, agree! Let's start rightaway without a break! Haha. I feel like I do really bad at the start of a season and generally because of the 2/3 week break including cup/playoffs that I'm not playing.

On our sidebet, yes -- straight up next season, best finish. And if there is an unlikely situation where we are tied on the table on every single aspect, we can always conclude with playoffs. What do you think padi igebotz? 2 Nigerians, 1 Malaysian, winner take all. Easy pickings.

For the first time I'm quite optimistic about Division 4.
We were always either a few players short or had some unreliable new accounts and now the ones joining are guys that played World Cup competitions and plan to play RTG as well - meaning that they will surely be committed to BSFL as well.

Would be great to celebrate S10 without losing a single player

I noticed that too, and would really like to see S10 with a full roster of players ending as it started. These walkovers can't be helped, there will always be someone, could be me, who might have a weekend where they have to choose life over BSFL. But the dropouts, I'd love to see none next season.

Now I see that I'm up 1-0 against buwaytress. With only two more different answers, I need only one more point to win. But it will take a while because the next different answer is for the 7th question (Bayern - Stuttgart).

Yeah if I nail that, it's possible we also reach penalties and I knew I was taking a risk with my penalty picks too, not sure why I'm feeling regret but Bayern better not disappoint me... I'll need all the help I can get. Haaland too... ha ha.

[arallmuus]

So apart from that failed submission, I would have still made it to play-offs had I won last round.

Assuming you didnt fail to submit, you would have 20 points. Thats just 1 point short from the relegation playoff

Now off to div 2, it's sad but I tink I have come back once in the past? Can't really remember right now.

You mean came back from div2 to div1? yeah you did

You started from div3 in S1, promoted to div2 in S2 then another promotion to div1 in S3. You relegated to div2 on S7 then made it back to div1 on S8 so yeah it has been real roller coaster but you did make it back

jayce. Last Original standing, my brother Harko has joined me in the Division of Death.

Long live jayce!

Dang, he is like Everton. They somehow always make it on EPL

[CLS63]

I'm looking forward to the next season already now. By the way I'm selling the Division 1 spot I have for 20 mbtc with a special discount for this week only. Don't miss out this unique opportunity. For only 20 mbtc take your place among the bests! 

No one is buying that broke ass club for 20mbtc - in other words you're not on the market 

Remove the last zero and I'd consider it. Offer lasts in 2hrs.

I think that the price is still cheap for a team that became the champion in Division 1 and Division 2 both. Still my last offer is going to be 15 mbtc. This is valid for only 24 hours also.

P.S.: If Igebotz and Hhampuz would like to buy my team the price is going to be 1 BTC.

[Harkorede]

Mafia, my addy is good, so needless to trigger your bot!

P.S.: If Igebotz and Hhampuz would like to buy my team the price is going to be 1 BTC.

It's pointless selling it to Igebotz, because the team would be back to division 2 next season, or maybe you just keeping getting promoted and keep selling to him, being the richest kid on the block... Hhampuz would rather grind his way to the first division and manage to go through another free fall to division 4.

Why not selling it to me for 1.5 mBTC, at least you'll be sure that your legacy lives on in the first division, just at the expense of winning in the league, since I've never managed to do so.

jayce. Last Original standing, my brother Harko has joined me in the Division of Death.

Long live jayce!

Incredible how he's managed to fly under the radar season in, season out. He never says much, never moves much, I almost can't believe he's one of the originals and last one standing at that...

[goodpunt]

Just checked if I still have access to my old Exodus wallet and funny to see the last transaction I got there was also prize money from BSFL - mouth-watering 0.00025 mBTC when I won the Division 4 title
Anyway, the current prize money will be the biggest amount I ever won in BSFL

It was also my fault that I didn't see the spreadsheet, so this is how it happened but it became a beginning and a learning of course because it is precisely with what is happening now that I know new things.

The good thing is you are now well prepared for the real cup matches in the next season.
Maybe our teams will face each other there

[jayce]

I think you will have better chance on making money by betting Hull City to win. Either Carrick sucks or those guy were just better than their previous statistics

That sounds fair enough, but I dont have balls to bet on promoted team against other promoted team. These championship teams are unpredictable and as wild as Div 2 of BSFL.

Long live jayce!

Nah I prefer the more classic team one, Bilbao. And actually Everton have relegated twice before EPL era. So, Hail Bilbao!

Hi @slaman29  
 
I was thinking about joining Road to Glory, but I’m still not sure. One thing is a World Cup that lasts a month and a half, but the Champions League lasting 9 months puts me off a bit.

In my opinion, it would be better to make the tournament around the Champions League group stage, with 8 rounds up to January.

The 4 group-stage matches of Road to Glory would be Rounds 1–4 of the Champions League.
Road T G- Round of 16 → Round 5 of the Champions League
Road  T G- Quarterfinals → Round 6 of the CL
Road T G- Semifinals → Round 7 of the CL
Road T G- Final → Round 8 of the CL

And then you could make the next Road to Glory 2 around the Champions League playoffs. The playoffs also have 9 rounds — two legs in the Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarterfinals and Semifinals, plus the Final. So that would be 9 rounds in total.

But BSFL is forever and ever and you see how fun that is right? OK I sort of understand RTG feels long because of the breaks but it is actually even less rounds than BSFL and less than normal leagues, with a lot of breaks in between.

What you are suggesting is 2 phases for 1 competition but who wants to say they won Group Stage

BTW I was talking about other pools, I would like to see you in them too No pressure of course, I totally get you and where you come from, I was doing friendly banter, always welcome to have you in the events you want, and just hope to see you stop by for banter even if not in event

[leea-1334]

]I believe the old address was Sportsbet which I no longer dare to use

What.... you receive it directly onto a gambling site deposit address? That is just risky considering that sometimes gambling sites could just change their address and not to mention all the hassle of wanting to recover it if it doesnt show up in your balance

Actually Sportsbet changed their addresses multiple times for me but I kept every single one of them and guess what,,, all deposits arrived It was useful for me at one point since they sponsored most if not all the pools, and I skipped depositing from my wallet and just kept my bankroll there.

Very risky behavior I totally am with you but SB was very different, and very loyal, and never made an issue. That was then of course,,, now is a different picture and as I said I no longer have the same confidence

Bitcoin wallet on SB works same as your personal wallet. It auto rotates the addresses after usage but any address you ever used is still there and you will receive money on it without problems.

But then I am not sure how winnings get credited, since if you try withdrawing, it is always much more than your balance. I guess they have proper wallet set up for each user that is used for deposits and withdrawals get handled from Sportsbet hotwallets.

I was torn between picking Dinamo to qualify or Viking to qualify. Luckily for you, I'm from Croatia, so in the end I simply chose Dinamo. If I had gone with logic, I think I would have picked Viking instead and now I'd have a two-point lead. Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens in tomorrow's match between Bayern and Stuttgart. I hope it goes my way
