because the 2 other victories were because my rivals didnt send their responses.

I hope Im not going to be your 4th win of the season. I also need that extra 3 points because it seems the best guy on our division didnt submit his answer So I need to win this one. Dang why cant I get a free 3 points, well grats @LTU_btc

7 different answers between us, this is going to be a rough one. Lets have a good round

This is probably the first real time that I am very close to not submitting my picks in time before the deadline, because I was about to be away probably for the rest of the day, without access to submitting before deadline, while I haven't even made any pick yet, I believe that's highly due to me have almost a free pass for the round, I just had to submit so as not to bring the same mindset into subsequent rounds.

Big congrats to Kokee44 & shogun47 on winning their respective divisions and gettign a direct spot in Div 2 next season. Positions 2-5 will play promotion playoff and my collegue will post the games a bit later.

Congrats @shogun47.

It was a fierce match with @ILuckyGuyI, even though if @ILuckyGuyI can beat you, I can go to direct promotions, unfortunately my expectations are different from reality.

Now outthinking Trofo appears easy. He goes for BTTS, he generally favours proven tennis players on their strong pitch (so never a guy who's shit on clay, for example), and I believe you and he have a tendency for Overs and for favs to cover handicaps. It's unnatural for me to think like this, I always prefer to go with or against form, depending on the value so I have to do my best to match him in that thinking Wink

(I could also be throwing smoke who knows, eh Trofo?)

Or maybe I just pretended my whole life in anticipation of this derby Cool

Kidding aside I also feel like writing questions is more of hinderance than help. It helps because we already do the research up front so we are never answering out of the blue but as cryptofrka says, we make margins to get even split. Meaning they are worst possible margins for us to choose from.

I honestly hate that we're writing the questions. We try to find the middle ground so there are no obvious answers and most of the time I don't know what to pick because in my eyes it's all 50-50.
If somebody else wrote it, they would probably change some of them so I could find an edge - but this way it's impossible. I changed my answers 3 times already, a hugely important round for me and I simply need to get it right.

You can't really win with questions, I've asked myself often how I would have phrased or cornered it, but you can't really predict in the end if you want to get closeness, or even if the question will become invalid BUT I think you guys do a great job. If there is only a slight edge for someone who does a bit of research, I think the point of BSFL is achieved.

My problem as a participant is to stop thinking like I'm betting. You look for value in betting, you look to outthink your opponent in BSFL. Not the same thing.

P.S. I just realised I only have 3 rounds left to make sure I win, as casper's my match in Round 14... not much room left for error.

Not really, 4 of you play for 1 promotion spot so the winner goes against the winner of the entebah - Dittoup matchup. Only that one gets promoted.
Previously you'd need 1 more win, so 3 in total.

Ah I see, I thought that 2 from each division will get promoted. Getting out of Division 3 feels like getting out of one of those lower English leagues. Cheesy

Quote from: slackovic on June 04, 2024, 02:01:03 AM

Maybe I'm not the best person to comment on this because I'm not that big of a sports freak, but to me all questions (OK, maybe not all but most of them) can go either way.

Its true, they can and its the only way that it makes sense as if there was an obvious and clear choice (almost) everyone would pick it and where's fun in that.

I wanted to wait initially for today tennis matches but I am afraid I will miss deadline so submitted anyway, there is always VAR to use

Now feel safe, if I win again, I will have high hopes for promotion chance through playoff.

I have to wish bad luck to my opponent, I need it!

Good luck to the Division 3 people. Sorry Igebotz it is a long time to go for you, maybe we are still in same table.

It is bold of you to believe that the Sherrif is on his way to the third division; I'm not far from it, but I will buy my way out as always. I'm happy for you, mate; you're making me proud. I hope you make it to Division 1.

Never! I say it only to spur you on to do great things, not be Spursy Wink

Congratulations to @Kokee44 & @shogun47, especially for @shogun47, thanks for winning in the last round, it put me in the play-off zone, next is quite a difficult journey for me because I've to play against @Patikno who can compete in the top standings of Division 3B. In the last season I failed to get promoted, maybe this is a real opportunity for me, hopefully... Roll Eyes

Always at your service! Tongue

Well that is a pleasant surprise, so now I only have to beat B1g4udge in order to reach Division 2. I beat him earlier in the season so hopefully I do it again.

Tbh, the way you write those questions you don't usually have any advantage as most of them can go either way and I can only imagine how much effort is needed for something like that.

Yeah, for example bookies had Boston at -5,5 handicap. We felt it's a bit too low so went with -6,5, I would have went with them covering if it was -5,5, now I'm not that sure anymore
It's just 1 point and it does sound silly, but even in these 50-50's people will think they have 5% edge somewhere because they will investigate in their way and maybe have a different conclusion.

For me it's mostly always right at the 50-50 line, without that 5% edge to be found.

I know that it must be hard to write the questions and then answer them, but so far, I didn't see one single complaint (except some unintentional mistakes) so I guess you are doing a good work.

Oh guys, what a tight competition is the div one, just look at the table, is incredible, im 3 point away from relegation but also 3 point away from top positions.

Now again i feel the pressure from behind, thank god some teams are far behind, if not this can be truly madness.

Apart from casper who's gone and slackovic, mathematically, everyone can still win this league. Definition of tight, I finally have a 0 goal difference, but what hurts me is I have allowed 43 goals... while casper only allowed 45, so I am en route to having the worst defence of the Division.

Well, the worst part is not only that is you can't do anything to not allow the goals, well is better to say only in the h2h questions You can defend your goal.

It also means that 2 teams from the Division 3 playoffs enter Division 2 without the need for the final playoff game.

May it continue for at least more week Grin

Could use getting 7 or 8 correct picks and rubbing it in.

Really close in Division 1, commented on that in the new article, will probably be out tomorrow morning.

Congrats on your third win @Renato297, you're starting to become like Everton with these sudden wins and draws in the past few rounds.

Thank you, I needed to win because I am in the fight for not relegation, to be honest this is my first victory of the season, because the 2 other victories were because my rivals didnt send their responses.

Damn that's a big defeat for my team. We are used to defeats, but not with that big score difference. But it comforts me that Trofo lost his duel with the same difference Grin

Also I checked all teams and my team is not the worst when it comes to points. Dbshck is worse with no win and only two draws. Also, Igebotz and dbshck have worse difference than me. So not all is so bad as it seems Grin

Thank you very much for that help! I'm used to winning and losing too, but no amount of winning can take the pain of losing away, so like you, I take comfort in the misery of other teams. This is called schadenfreude and I think it's something football people get infected by Wink

You're not the worse, don't worry. Plenty of time for other miserable teams like mine to catch up.
