From this logic your chances would still be better right ? I mean if we have 4 possible answers and what you would normally go for is wrong, then you're literally left with 2 wrong answers and 1 right answers, boosting your chances from the usual 0% for always being wrong or 25% technically to 33.333% which is pretty much a better odd than always being imo wrong Cheesy

Well, when you put it that way, it looks easy. But it's not that easy when you are facing three answers that your mind is telling you are wrong, but you still have to decide which one to choose. All three looks equally wrong, but you have to pick one.

Yeah, I went with Zverev in this round and look what that brought me. Thankfully mv1986 also failed on that question like the majority.

Just a short teaser, we have our Euro competition confirmed by SB so expect the announcement in the next few days.
Why am I writing it here? Because if you like it, it will become a mini side-competition in each of the subsequent BSFL seasons.

You know that all of us will like it. But I'm not sure what do you mean by a mini side-competition. Euro is being played every four years. If we include World cup, then it's every two years. And a BSFL season last less than one year.

BTW, it's a real PITA to do a multiquote on a mobile phone...

I actually tried this tactics because I simply couldn't win a round in this season. The problem with that tactic is that in majority of the questions we have more than two possible answers. That makes it difficult to go with the opposite of what you would normally pick because there are still two or three answers left.

In other news, 4 NBA clashes are now with 3-2 scores so '0' looks like an unlikely outcome. I have 1, looking at the matchups it is possible but I have a feeling that 2 or more is the winner here.

Went better than I expected actually so far. At the time I submitted, all four were at 2-2s, so I knew then, based on my "50/50 statistics" rule for basketball (which has so far proven to be a very accurate model), we should have on average 2 teams tying at 3-3. Doesn't matter as notblox1 also thought the same.

In tennis, pace is an added advantage, and as you get older, you gradually lose that ability, and then twist and ankle issues begin to eat you up, making it difficult to compete against younger players with good pace. Nadal has won everything there is to win, and I'm shocked to see him still battling against kids who were watching him a few years ago and losing to them. Lol

Football and tennis are no different; age is a significant factor in both sports because they involve a lot of movement.

Tennis questions is shoot and hope- there's always withdrawal shit and all kinds of disappointment.

I read about Nadal saving his hip serve for end of year. Just serving from pure back and arm strength. I don't even really know what it means but I think if your body is screaming pain, you already replaced part of hips etc. You should listen to it and retire, or coach.

Same in football, and apparently even worse because football is sudden movement, sudden acceleration and multiple points of contact with force. Long term head injury etc

Americans say their football is tougher but studies show that the crazy athletics of football and contact result in higher injuries and more damaging long term.

Anyway tennis. Bullshit to wait til last minute and get both knocked out anyway lol

Sinner - Alcaraz was the major call, maybe with a little difference on who ends up with the trophy

Yep, when we were writing questions we all agreed that 90% will go with Sinner/Alcaraz combo, but we wanted to see who you'd give advantage to.
Sometimes it happens with tennis questions yeah - they are by far the hardest ones to write properly.

Sinner withdrew and Alcaraz lost his game, it's not looking bad.

This is however leaving 90% of the league in draw on that question, Sinner - Alcaraz was the major call, maybe with a little difference on who ends up with the trophy. But then there is just one user, I don't understand how come, if it was premeditated or just a random luck, he went with Medvedev vs Rublev for final, I doubt there is a chance either of them not making it to the finals.

This is not good for me, since I chose Sinner to Win the match. My Opponent and I have some of the same answers and I rely heavily on these questions to get a points.

I was talking with cryptofrka and told him that there is no way both Alcaraz and Sinner will reach final in Madrid but there was no clear pick to take outside them. Medvedev on clay? No way for me. Rublev was in bad form before Madrid as well.

If I went different, it would have been for Ruud probably so same result.

Those unexpected results from the top seeds made me lose out on a point. The same goes for the Dortmund match, a 1-0 scoreline is probably the last thing I would expect after scoring tons of goals from the previous round.

On the bright side, I didn't expect our matchup to be mentioned in the latest article. Grin

Quote from: mv1986 on May 01, 2024, 08:29:25 AM

The questions Trofo and cryptofrka came up with have been really tricky again.

Those combo choices are always one of the toughest points to earn, and i'd be lucky to get them half right. Tongue

So you were waiting for the result between Alcaraz and Struff yesterday huh lol. I guess alot of people were waiting on that result as well and I was one of it as well then I had something to rush for so I put in Rublev to anticipate if Alcaraz lose against Struff which turned out to be a good decision after all. Now I just need Rublev to make it to the final to get a point against Hhampuz

And now Sinner withdrew. So it's a big ass draw question for maybe most of us?

I knew I should have gone Rublev. Goddamn top seeds.

Man should have retired while still clapping hard; I've always like it when people leave it at the clapping stage rather than waiting until they've lost everything before retiring. Tiger Woods, Alonso, and Hamilton were all monarchs, with the world at their feet. There is nothing else to watch about them now. They don't even interest me anymore...

Submitted answers - a must win round for me.

Maybe for him it's not about clapping anymore but doing one big tournament as his last. He already said these are all about getting fit for end of the year, so I think he even went further than he thought like with De Minaur.

Football is different. If you're old and you cause your team to lose, you kinda share some of the blame Tongue

Guys you can't imagine how sad I am for being late for my submission. Sad

I have been in the countryside for a while and I have a really weak signal here so I can't use the internet comfortably. This cost me wasting a week in the league here. First the elimination from the cup and now this... I have been the leader in Division 1 but after this round I'm going to lose a big advantage. From now on I will do my best to make up for this week.

Sorry but evil mafia have very strict rules Grin

I wish that we all have one green card pass that we can use one time during the season to postpone matches in situations like this.
Sometimes it can be countryside or other emergency situation when we dont have internet connection.

I think most of us failed tennis question, but I am starting our duel with a point from Dortmund scoring only one goal.
I expected 2:1 win for PSG, that would work much better for me in all other competitions, but I wont complain.
So many missed chances from PSG, they will have to explode in next round at Parc des Princes.

Noice article Trofo. Though the first mention of Division 1 had the most unexpected outcome (I'm still laughing at CLS63!). Massive boost to all you title chasers.

Happened also when he did not show to derby with you in previous season

I am writing article on Monday and trying to get it online Tuesday morning. Sometimes that process takes time and then it looks a bit strange when my points get trashed by deadline.

Always nice when league leader gets penalty points though Grin

Thanks cls63

Yeah, I remember very, very well. The derby that never happened. That's a team too confident they forgot they still need to show up on the pitch to get points.

Oh and, now I wish I listened to my gut seeing Alcaraz struggle yesterday and put Rublev in instead. Slight advantage for me vs notblox1 here, now the worst I can do on tennis question is draw.

I could copy your post and claim it is mine. I thought the same. Waiting until the very last second to just see how Alcaraz was struggling and to then stick with the decision to put him as a finalist wasn't the smartest move on my part. In retrospect it was the best warning one could get. But again I thought it is kind of a home game for the Spaniard and I am still influenced in my decision making by some of his crazy good games from the past. But most of the time it is probably safest neutralization of the opponent's answer here. Putting Rublev wasn't an easy choice either and I am sure you thought the same when Alcaraz won the first set: I did it all right, being patient paid off! Tongue
