Well done on the 100 mbtc sponsorship -- thank you to Sportsbet, of course

Kicking myself for not staying with Bearman (I actually put him in 6th originally, but an hour before the race dropped him out, and then what's worse, it pushed Norris out a spot, so I missed out on 1.5 points. Doesn't sound like a lot but we all know what a half point imeans in this pool.

I see cryptofrka is top this week. I normally would congratulate him but I decline comment for cheating bastards.

Well done to the top three guys sharing the yellow cup this week.I missed the guy Bearman as I had it in 8th place and I thought that maybe only Norris would be able to get past him but he stunned everyone and he managed to finish 7th ahead of Norris and Hamilton,which by the way is the driver with the highest stats running during this race,so mega job as the Ferrari crew point out to him.It was also a well deserved driver of the day for Bearman with an astonishing 46% some number I have rarely seen before meaning he had the support of everyone just like it should have been.

Verstappen and Red Bull domination continues, and most of us expected this result.

I see cryptofrka is top this week. I normally would congratulate him but I decline comment for cheating bastards.

He probably pulled some of his criminal connections again or he was just lucky  
I am the only pool member so far that has zero EBP points, so guys I am asking for some help and suggestions.
In first round I really messed up because I couldnt post my predictions on time.

The criminal octopus is spreading its tentacles to F1 as well.
Pay me out now and save us all some time in the process.

I have started to get a lot of these freebets, I should really try to win something with them. I usually just toss them at the first @5 odds I see

[Koal-84]

Once again it seems that RedBull is dominating the season, unfortunately, as in the first race, they only scored a meagre 13 points. It's still a long season, but there's already a big gap, so you can only congratulate those who have 18 points, there's a lot to play for to achieve that.

[darxiaomi]

What a boring race, and i hate to say this but seems like a boring season ahead... again.

Imagine the most fun to watch was the K. Magnusen trolling and stucking a lot of driver behind him making time for his partner in HAAS to collect points.

[famososMuertos]

Well, Well, this race was different; "appendicitis" type emotions, otherwise everything was routine, ah! Yeah F1.

Hey! "Max" (here, swogerino) it is worth saying that we deduct one point, but given how this season is presented, 2 points may be enough if there is no more appendicitis. 

🍻 to my podium companions.

Nobody has shared their opinion on the prize distribution yet. We will have announced it before the next race week at the latest.

Well done on the 100 mbtc sponsorship -- thank you to Sportsbet, of course

We have agreed on 75 mbtc about the sponsorship topic with Sportsbet. When we consider that BTC price has also increased I think it is a great deal. But if you would like to add 25 mbtc more as a gang member then I wouldn't object to that.

What are you talking about on NOBODY? i give my opinion 

As of Ulven's joining us the F1 pool has reached 24 people. And together with Sportsbet.io's generous sponsorship fee there is going to be a total of 123 mbtc in the pool. I'm going to announce the prize distribution in a week at the latest. Meanwhile you can deliver your recommendations from here or via PM.

I go with my recomendation 120mbtc for me and thanks for my big generosity i left 3 mbtc for you guys! I see a good deal for alls!

Well talking seriously im gonna say.

1st : 50mbtc
2 : 30
3 : 20
4 : 10

I'm accepting the congratulations, thanks guys.    I would also like to congratulate cryptofrka and famososMuertos. Sharing the yellow cap with two more people must be showing how tough this race week was.    I saw many people having the same podium. After the first race results they must have wanted to play safer just as I did. Position bonus points made the difference for this race. Now there are 2 whole weeks to go for the upcoming race in Australia.

[buwaytress]

I like darxiaomi's suggestion for 10 places. Not that it matters to me, I somehow doubt I'm winning anything, but it's always nice to have 10 people fighting for something.

The better suggestion is for only 50 mbtc to go to players, and put me in charge of placing a 50mbtc bet on an F1 market. I'll triple it, or lose it all. How is that not better than double or nothing?

agree that 10 positions to be rewarded is good
maybe I would put less on top3, and increase a bit positions from 4-10
similar to what BSFL board is looking, and then is interesting to fight it out for positions 5,6,7, since differences are not small enough to not be interested

season will be boring on competition, with Max winning week after week, let's have more fun in our leaderboard

Same for me.I would love to have 10 paying positions as that would make sure near 50% of the persons who have played to get a prize spot which would spark more interest for the upcoming seasons.I would also fine tune a bit the prizes so even better prizes can be seen also in the lower spots,and this is I think how it should be especially now that the price of Bitcoin is in new all time highs.

As for that highest overall yellow cap,you can already send it to me as I have a 20 points yellow cap already  ,just kidding,anyone in this season can easily beat that given enough luck to them.

[CLS63]

In the model I also supported there is more people to get prizes. As the season goes on I don't want the players who are out of top 5 places to challenge for only the yellow cap.

In comparison to the previous two seasons everyone has started the season by collecting much higher points. We can say that the most important reason of this is not seeing so many suprises in the races. Red Bull dominated both races. Maybe the biggest surprise of the season was Leclerc's having the fastest lap in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

This second suggestion is looking better and more fair to me, and I think most participants will agree with this.
We have total of 24 players with first few places that are still getting significantly large amounts, but there is a chance for ten guys to get something in the end.
If I win one of the top 10 position this will be a big surprise, but I am not giving up that easy

[cryptofrka]

We talked about rewards distibution a lot when we started with BSFL. If you award only the top spots, a lot of people will lose interest.
In BSFL it is even more important that everybody plays - here not so much, but there's always more interest when more people are in the prizes.

I'm supporting the 'top 10' distribution that's being mentioned, the top prize still looks very attractive and almost half of the people get more than their buy-ins back so that's great as well.

I'm also in favor of 10 places rewarded. It is a good suggestion and will make it more exciting for everyone to reach a rewarded place.
Races have been somehow predictable so far. Red Bull First as usually.
