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

[Harkorede]

I won a point that I had no business whatsoever winning yesterday, it's now back to the next challenge in front of the team this week, maybe the questions for this round aren't as brutal and I won't have to rely on H2H to save me, but it's against vivekdkhyani who is just as desperate for the 3 points, for a different reason.

I'm sure my draft answers to some of the questions are locked in and would make a decent parlay for EZ money, I'll share it once the deadline is over *no promises*

Nations League matches is boring competition

As much as I would hate to admit, this about the only international that I'm glad is happening, it feels like I'm spiraling out control with my performance in all other pools, so I'll have some time and much needed break to refresh.

Not relevant but related: curiously, I checked the VAR table to see if I could afford an early submission and my eyes strayed to a rule I almost forgot about: you can use VAR for free up to 10 minutes after you submit but only on Sunday and Monday, not Tuesday. Now hosemary might know but has there ever been a deadline that wasn't Tuesday? I seem to recall a round where the first question was actually on a Wednesday, but I suppose this doesn't affect the deadline.

P.S. I'm going to assume Q9 is Nations League but in case there's some other obscure sports on Sunday...

This rule was introduced around a year and a half ago to let players correct their unintentional mistakes without using any of their three VARs. Click here to see the post Trofo made about it back then.

Now hosemary might know but has there ever been a deadline that wasn't Tuesday?

As far as I remember, since I joined BSFL, the deadline has always been on Tuesdays.

Narrowly won against Russares in the last round, almost gave up after United went down 2-4 in the second half, I never believed they could get the goals back. I kept believing till the 80th minutes then I told myself it's over I lost this round already. After sometime I decided to check how the game ended and to my surprised Manchester United did the unthinkable, scored twice in stoppage time.
Good to see I'm now at 2nd place. It's just 3 points gap now so the title race is on. LFC_Bitcoin better watch your back. You're in good form I'll give you that but I'll like our meeting to be the title decider, I've got eyes for that top spot  

Next up is General_Bitcoin, I hope I am able to keep my winning streak running.

I'm here since the BSFL started and I think that the deadline has always been Tuesday afternoon. I'm not sure about the time, but I think it was always Tuesday. It makes sense because it gives us enough time to submit the answers from all over the world, no matter what timezone we live in.

I wasn't aware of that rule, but it makes sense what Hosemary is saying. Using VAR to correct an honest mistake shouldn't count and I'm glad we have the rule. But I like to check my answers before submitting anyway.

I'm shocked by that draw in the United match, from 2-0 to 2-2 at half-time, then 4-2 to 4-4, with the last two goals coming in the last 4-5 minutes of the match.

GG @jayce, my initial hunch was right on the draw, but it's a bit frustrating when the state of the match was so winnable for Villa.

ralle14, I had given up the round when Man Utd losing 2-0 already, like, wtf their defense. Apparently I have used my last luck in this year for our match. Even though it's a draw result, 1 point is really super precious for us. Gg mate, and good luck for your next games!

[goodpunt]

I don't get it. Isn't it in your own best interest to root for their opponents ( el che and me in this round)? You need them to drop as many points as possible if you want to win Div 1 (well, as at least as long they are the ones closest to you).

Like cryptofrka already wrote, a double win by Cromorra will give me more room for error and time to breathe.

As a "newly promoted team" I don't consider myself a contender for the title and so on

But if I were eyeing the title, then I would prefer a 3-horse race instead of a 5-horse one.
In the 3-horse race I would have only one 6-point match against cryptofrka, while cryptofrka and Trofo still have to face each other.
In the other scenario I would have 3x 6-point matches since I still have to play against you and el che.

Of course these are just possible scenarios since the season is still too early and as you know I don't even look at the standings

Well...whatever happens, I hope you won't be out for blood in the round after the cup.
Somehow I always face the same teams Trofo played one round before me

[slaman29]

@goodpunt holding on to the lead, watch out for the mafia breathing down your neck! @ralle14 if we can both secure a win, we can maybe join our teammate high in the sky, so good luck to us all!

All my answers sent, I chose 2 answers I didn't like but want to roll the dice, as well as a tennis player who always lets me down

[cygan]

after my second win in the last round (6-5 vs. Heyshbosh), i'm now facing entebah for another 3 crucial points.
a win in this round would still be important, and it would allow me to build a slight advantage over entebah!
i've submitted my answers, and i'm hoping for a successful round!

[paco92x]

Looked at the questions a bit. Will be posting my answers in a few hours so I have time to research some questions a little. This round is the 2nd-place position duel between mv1986 and me. He is 2nd on top and I am on the bottom, but that doesn't mean that I will not put up a fight . Best of luck to my opponent.

@paco, my boy, there is not much to win for you this round! Points are already booked, early promotion party planned for Saturday evening this coming weekend.

I can't remember the questions now, but I think they were not too complicated. Hopefully we have a few different answers, it sucks if it's over when the first three questions are over. I want some action and a slow and painful defeat for you, haha

Jokes aside, good luck!

[cryptofrka]

Ended up losing by 1 as I got Russell and MU/AV draw correct but could not make up for it. 5 point and still a loss, speaks about my season so far.
GGs @cryptofrka and good luck in the upcoming rounds.

Close but no cigar.
Start getting some points, I vouched for you and you're embarrassing me in front of my virtual buddies.

Deadlines are always on Tuesday, even in (really rare) cases in which none of the questions start on Tuesdays.
Q9 is football, we will always write if it is some other sport. No wonder you're dropping Divisions with such lethargy.

[leea-1334]

Thanks for reminder,,, I admittedly almost forgot it was Tuesday and sent my picks already  

There is no time for crying, so I am getting ready to post my predictions for next round, and I am showing no mercy against  leea-1334.
Nations League matches is boring competition, but this is better for making objective predictions.

I do not think I ever got mercy from anyone, so no need to show it to me. I went for 1 or 2 surprises as concerning what I usually pick. Nations League and Italy is something that made me lose points before, so let us see what it brings for me this time  

[Harkorede]

All my answers sent, I chose 2 answers I didn't like but want to roll the dice, as well as a tennis player who always lets me down

I made at least 4 changes from my original draft, and I'm sure one of them could eventually come to bite me in the butt... Tennis was also one of questions that I altered, along with NBA and about 3 answers in football considering multiple absence that I predict looks likely to be be happening in the first matches (my Nations league selections are wayward, I must say).

I just need a better chance to be able to win my round, and I have been getting much of that, it's always 2-3 questions differences and they are not always in my favor, but in cases of 5-6 different answers my chances are always far better.

[darxiaomi]

For the first time in a long time i was forgetting about making my picks, since yesterday it was holidays here for the pope visit to the country somehow i forget about sending my answers in which i ussually makes on monday so that change and being out and far from my house make me be nearby to a failed submission. 

About the questions..... tennis women again, what a poison it is. And in the other hand the national teams games in which we cant have a proper clue.

[ralle14]

Nice to see rugby mixed into this week's group of questions. I used to follow one of their leagues back then when the NFL was still in the offseason.

@ralle14 if we can both secure a win, we can maybe join our teammate high in the sky, so good luck to us all!

I'll do what I can, as these international matches are usually my weakest rounds. It would be a good way to condition ourselves and gain some form before the next RTG round.

Glad that somebody's happy about it. It's the World Cup final after all

He will send the rebuy later tonight - as always, we will accommodate such requests.

Nation leagues are just not my thing; they give a lot of different outcome as to what is expected naturally. The league games may be like this sometimes, but it doesn’t get as bad as this one. Some nation leagues questions are just like the other sports questions one may not have idea about and just handpicked randomly. Don’t want this break to stay for too long because I’m not good at nation league questions when it comes to football questions.

Yeah it’s good to see rugby back in BSFL. I’m not a rugby fan but I used to play on the wing for our local team when I was about 10

I think we will see, on average, a lower scoring match week. Nations League is a bit more of an unknown than regular club football. We have quite a few different sports to deal with this week.
