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

[buwaytress]

Thank you, Thibaut Courtois! When I was deciding whether to bet on Real Madrid winning to nil or not, I remembered that Courtois was in goal, and immediately knew I had to go for the clean sheet. I really admire this goalkeeper. I think he might be the best of all goalkeepers when it comes to making saves with his feet!   

Now, to win, I just need Manchester United not to lose. But even a draw against @buwaytress would be an achievement, because playing against him is probably the toughest challenge of this season.

Good luck!

Consistently good, this guy, agree. And you know what? For the longest time I thought he was French..! Despite the brain remembering him in national competitions for many years, the senses always registered him in my mind as a cockerel rather than a waffle.

So flattering for me to read you say I'm your toughest challenge (probably)... but I am well below my peak powers. If you win, you deserve it!

[igebotz]

F1 fans what are the chances of Russell winning today and claiming the title? He's the only thing standing in-between me losing or draw in this round - I can't afford the to lose after losing in the previous round; I hate draws, but I'll take it with two hands in this round.

You don't need Russell to win the title. All you need is that he finishes the race in a higher position than Hamilton.
Considering that Hamilton will start the race at the back of the grid, I think you have a very good chance of getting a point on the F1 question.


You might have missed Heyshbosh's post about Hamilton's penalty.

Even worse news for those of us who went with Hamilton he has just replaced his entire power unit after he was having some troubles with his new one in practice 3 meaning he will now start from the back of the grid and would require a miracle for him to finish ahead of Russell now gg.

Thank you... I needed that hope!

Oh so positioning does mater on who finishes higher or not - why would anyone start from the "disadvantage" position though? It is based on points from the qualifies stages or they flip a coin like in football

I thought the most important thing was driver's skills + engine speed.

There's always a qualifying session before the main race, and that determines the drivers' starting positions.
The qualifying session for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix took place last night.

Russel finished in the second place, but will start the main race from the seventh place due to his five-place grid penalty.
Hamilton will also start at the back of the grid due to the penalty described in Heyshbosh's post.

[cryptofrka]

When writing questions, please keep those of us who like to hedge in mind. What are we supposed to do with the F1 question now?

No idea. Luckily, Napoli - Lazio game went my way so I don't have to worry about it.
I am a bit annoyed that I chose Hamilton, Russell was furious after the last race and I think he'll be on fire until the end of the season.

Would be about time, getting a bit pissed her by having by far most goals scored and not topping the table   This should be enough to get you on GD. Good thing that is our fists tie breaker and not our game which you won

Slow down, buddy. You forgot I'm in the race as well, and just comfortably secured another win.

That might not be enough to save from LMS elimination if Aston Villa doesn't win today, it's only going to be about who you get to drag down with you  

Lazio vs Napoli just ended and it was only asiska that had Napoli to win and meanwhile he also had Russell for the F1 question, but for the league you should get a draw..

There isn't much value for me to hedge Man United vs Aston Villa, I had Draw and the odds for either team to win is ~1.29, so I'll be going into the match with nothing but a mere wish.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I didn’t even realise the Napoli vs Lazio game was so early until I just read cryptofrka’s post. Lazio got a point so that takes me to 6 correct answers which means ajanwalker can’t catch me, regardless of what happens in the Man Utd vs Villa game and the F1.

Team LFC_Bitcoin is relentless at the moment, top of Division 3. The players have decided that they have had enough of being in the farmers league. We have a five season plan from here to become Division 1 champions.

[MAAManda]

I regret picking Napoli to win as it turns out Lazio are truly demonstrating their real quality this season. The first goal was scored by Lazio & Napoli’s goal wasn’t even scored by one of their players, it was an OG. I think we should keep an eye on Le Aquile, as they are set to make more surprises in Serie A this season .

[paco92x]

Everything is settled in my match this round, even though we still have two questions remaining, as we both have the same answers. Honestly, I'm quite shocked that I managed to secure a point, as things weren't looking good before the weekend started. Maybe I'm now a little closer to the safe spots. We'll see when the tables come out.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Just like our first match in the Cup pina_pino, you’re a tough opponent to beat.
I’m trailing 4-6 right now but there are still 2 questionnaires left and the chance to make this a draw still remains given that our last 2 answers were different.

Manchester United's Kick off against Aston Villa is about to begin and I hope this game becomes a draw because it's one of my opportunities to catch up because for F1 I'm still confident against Russle.

[Nheer]

Last question to go for me and my opponent and it's not looking good for me. I picked a draw in the Manchester United vs Aston Villa game and in just a few minutes into the game United are already 2 goals down. Glad Bruno got one back but I hope things end up in my favor.
I can't believe how I fumbled the lead at the beginning, I was leading with 2 points and then suddenly things went all wrong. At this point getting a point at least would be nice but seems like one us has to win this one. Good game Russeras, let's see what happens at the end of the game.

[darxiaomi]

So this round is gonna end again on a lose for me but at least im collecting good points for LMS and being safe for one more round, the only "bad" thing is most of the people remaining in the LMS is also collecting a lot of points so im not cutting so much distance with the top plus the top is being held by my rival in this round which let me in a zero sum in LMS terms.

I need to start to win again to not being in troubles in the future.

[Rikafip]

Fucking Villa. They started great with an early 2-0 lead, giving me a hope that I won't have to worry until the end, only for them to concede two before the halftime. MnaUre has momentum and I would be very surprised if they don't turn this around until the end.

edit: who would have thought, Villa again in the lead. Can ManUre come back from this?

Who would have thought? I thought that going with Villa is a no brainer since they are playing against Man United. Such a lousy team... It's pretty boring for me since I secured a win on Thursday so not much to follow. I don't think I have enough points to win a freebet so I'm taking it easy.

[Rikafip]

Who would have thought?

I mean who would have thought after this situation, when ManUre came back from being 2 goals behind and having a momentum. I certainly didn't.

After I wrote the post, I went to Rainbet to put some money on ManUre, and at the exact that moment they conceded first, and soon the 2nd goal as well. Money saved. Unless manage to come back from this as well.  

[Harkorede]

They had me believing again a for moment, and at 3-2 I might have kept my hopes alive that a draw could still happen, but surely they're not coming back from another 2 goal deficit, bunch of clowns...

I agree with the fans singing *sacked in the morning* #CarrickOut

That's all she wrote for me!

Gg @imarious!

EDIT: Omg! Omg!!! Wow, I just can’t believe it! This has got to be the craziest point I’d have won this season!

[un_rank]

If the United come back against Roma happened before the deadline more of us will have fallen into the trap of picking then and thought there would be a repeat when they came back to draw. I think they were unlucky to have started the comeback so early. If it was later without any halftime break between, they would have been able to push  on with the momentum possibly taking something away.

They just pulled one back as I was typing. Many fans have exited already, but maybe they can feed off the energy of those left.

[cryptofrka]

Another league win for team CF, top of the table is now fully in sight.
Also a decent LMS score - but it was a good round for most of LMS participants so nothing to be thrilled about there.
