⭐⚽⭐ Rainbet's Bitcointalk Sports Fanatics League (BSFL) – 17000$ rewards ⭐⚽⭐

[MAAManda]

GG @VashaUdacha777 !

Congratulations to you for winning even before the round is completely over, the result of the Real Madrid match proved decisive & things didn't go our way, given that Real Madrid only managed to score 1 goal in that match. So far, it's 4 - 1, not counting the results from Q9 & Q10. For the next round, I think I need to conduct an even better analysis.

[Harkorede]

You also have Andreeva to reach the finals, I'll only win that point if she wins in the final too, I'd like my chances with her in the finals against Zheng or Mertens, Bartunkova in the semis is going to be the bigger test imo.

Yeah, you are right. I alredy made my peace with a loss in this round. I need a miracle to end up with a draw so it's easier to just xount it as a loss.

Careful what you wish for, they said... I wanted Zheng in the finals, think she'd be the easiest of all the possible alternatives, forgetting she's playing at home. Though, take away the home crowd rallying behind today, she's was still completely unplayable, this was definitely one of best and cleanest win ever! There was so little that Andreeva could have done better to stand chance, honestly!

You get to live to fight for the last point in the Man City vs Liverpool match, that'd be such a major blow for me, I'd have lost 6 points in the last 3 rounds that I could have pretty much won, now way such lapse wouldn't come back to hunt me at the end of the season.

[ralle14]

That red card gave me hope on Como, but unfortunately it was a false hope. I can't believe they failed to score in the second half. Congrats on the 3-2 win @el che

I thought there was one more question, and I only realized now that it was the deciding question to seal this round.

[goodpunt]

Just realised my blunder....somehow I misread the Real vs Villarreal question and thought over 3.5 goals from both teams
Then again, my team and I were a bit busy testing different beers for a beer festival, so maybe this was the reason but no excuses!

Anyway, nice that we remain undefeated....not very convincing, but what matters is that we are currently not near the relegation zone..

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Looks like I may survive LMS after all which is good because looking at the Liverpool starting XI I do not think I’m getting a point for a Liverpool win today.

The starting XI looks weak, the bench looks even weaker. I am not confident at all, City will win imo.

[paco92x]

notblox1, luck was on my side this week, fortunately. You had some bad luck, but all things are reset next round, and I hope you come back with a win. My first victory of the season finally came in the late Round 5. With these points, I'm closer to survival this season, but it's still too early to predict anything, not to mention that I could have another awful losing streak at any moment, just like last season.

[mv1986]

A rough ten minutes for Liverpool now, they were able to keep up until that red card, but now completely lost it. I know a few souls around here are now crying The result doesn't help me either, but I was lucky enough to get away from the LMS rebuy.

@Trofo do you know that you have the most points for four consecutive rounds among all remaining LMS participants? How?... It actually makes LMS rebuys for many others worthless. You could just buy your way through until the last round, unlikely you would get two points or less there.

Works for me, hope everyone just drops out and you guys let me claim the prize before final week 
Paid more then enough trough past seasons to deserve one easy LMS win.

But in last round, you often need something like 5 points to just survive, not 2. That is why LMS can get super brutal.

[Rikafip]

I have to say that all of us that went with City to win were extremely lucky as before that stupid red card that Gravenberch got, they basically didn't exist on the pitch.

Important win for Team Rikafip as that will get me further away from relegation zone. Too bad that next week is a cup round.

[slackovic]

I was quite busy doing family stuff today so I didn't follow the tennis final. I see that I was close to a draw, but as Rikafip said above, all of you that went with City should consider yourselves lucky. I didn't watch the game, but all three goals were scored after the red card.

Well, at least Halland scored the winning goal which will get me some juicy points in the FPL challenge. But probably 90% of others also have Halland so it won't mean much. I'd prefer if I had managed to get a draw here after losing for the duration of the entire round.

Congrats on your win!

[cryptofrka]

Finally a very good round - both in league and in LMS.
The first team will now deservedly rest while the reserves tackle the Cup.

In other news, Rruchi man is out of BSFL as well and cryptofrka won his sidebet against Dump3er with a 5-3 score.

[Harkorede]

I have to say that all of us that went with City to win were extremely lucky as before that stupid red card that Gravenberch got, they basically didn't exist on the pitch.

I couldn’t agree more, Liverpool had City in complete disarray before that red card, they could have easily scored one even just minutes before that silly call.

I’m probably the luckiest of the bunch, because without that goal, I’d have lost more than just 2 points in the league, I would not have won the $30 freebet, and now I’m closer to the top of the division, behind mv.

I picked up some really nice LMS points from this round too, but Trofo as we know it isn’t going to budge until there is a larger force at play.

@Trofo do you know that you have the most points for four consecutive rounds among all remaining LMS participants?

He doesn't. Trofo had the most LMS points only in rounds 3 and 5.
VashaUdacha777 got the most LMS points in the first round, Daniel91 in the second round, and vd309 in the fourth round.

Even if you only count those who are still alive, that still doesn't make it four consecutive rounds. In the fourth round, vd309 had the most LMS point and he is still alive.

[Trofo]

BSFL CUP - SEASON 10

[BABY SHOES]

Now it looks like Baby Shoes can either win it or at best I can draw this. My attention though is not longer on the head match but hopeful that last two pick will come true so I still keep on going on the LMS. Definitely a disaster performance to be honest.

Yeah... winning again, it's a winning streak at least for a good performance.

The last answer is decisive, I myself chose Man City as a good option to save this round, honestly I feel sad to see Liverpool have to lose at home, because Gravenberch got a second yellow card to become a red card, on the other hand I have to be realistic for now Man City.

My bet was to choose BTTS, hmmm not helpless, Liverpool lost 1 player making them unable to score.

[cryptofrka]

As already announced, we'll now proceed with the Cup.
Only 10 teams play in the 1st (Qualifying) round, all teams (other than 5 that lose in the Qualifiers) play in the 2nd round.

The forms are set up in a way that you all still need to submit the answers for R1 as well - these answers will not be evaluated so put in whatever you want.

_____________________________

Regarding the icopress/NotATether situation - we decided that we will allow a team to be freely transferred only in the same season in which the club was bought.
The reasoning is that the fee has been paid already and that the league loses nothing - and gains a more interested player in the process.

Therefore - NotATether is free to use his name going forward.

We will add this to the rules and proceed in the following manner in all future instances.

[NotATether]

Therefore - NotATether is free to use his name going forward.

Mate, I only cared about beating you this round. How on earth am I supposed to compete with a 7-point performance?

City.... should probably not be in any more BSFL questions. Everyone can infer they will win almost all of their games from here on out except for Arsenal. (And Spurs.)

[arallmuus]

City.... should probably not be in any more BSFL questions. Everyone can infer they will win almost all of their games from here on out except for Arsenal. (And Spurs.)

They are on the next set of questions for the UCL games although we wont be playing on round 1 though 

• arallmuus 6-2 Hhampuz

Well pretty much a nice round that somehow goes my way. Aside from the fact that hhampuz gave me a free point on the WTA question, I think I got really lucky to survive LMS and secure 3 points

But in last round, you often need something like 5 points to just survive, not 2. That is why LMS can get super brutal.

I checked the spreadsheet regarding this and yeah I guess atleast 4-5 points would be sufficient unless its against all the other top tier LMS participant like you, your mafia counterpart and vd then I guess 6 would be the cut off point on this

Code:

Season    | Elimination point
----------|---------------------
Season 5  | 5
Season 6  | 3
Season 7  | 2
Season 8  | 3
Season 9  | 2

[cryptofrka]

I have one question for crypfrka, when you talk about hedging in BSFL, how you made it? i mean i understand what it is but since we dont play for real money here in the rounds, how do you calculate the hedge? Or is just made done haphazardly and the $ doesnt matter is just to at least won something?

It really depends on the opportunity.
In this round for example, to lose I would have needed Andreeva to lose, Roma to win and Liverpool to win - so over 10 odds.

In that case I'll probably play a mini hedge - 0,5 mBTC or something like that. If it's a 50-50 question my result depends upon, it will be bigger.

If it's the late LMS rounds, well, it will be really big

Mate, I only cared about beating you this round. How on earth am I supposed to compete with a 7-point performance?

I told you you're in for a rough welcome..

There's a silver lining for you though - blame the harsh defeat on team icopress.
Tomorrow create a new logo, make a new team page and no-one will remember this in a few days..

____________________________

That being said - 2 Division 3 teams didn't create their logos and team pages. For the top 3 Divisions these are mandatory so please do them General_Bitcoin, EarnOnVictor.
Sorry if you already did them and we missed them - in that case, please link them to us.

For Division 4 team pages/badges are not mandatory but they are increadibly easy to make with AI. Therefore I'll tag Div4 teams once in case they want to create theirs: Bitcoin_Budha, welovebit, BABY SHOES, red4slash, pina_pino, Asiska02, Ryu_Ar1, Dump3er, Bitcoin Smith, Zaguru12.

The club page looks like this.
