Freaking Man United just cost the opportunity to take the lead in my fixture, what an awful team, I was literally happy when they took the lead 6 minutes into a 9 minutes stoppage time, but they really just can’t keep their shit together, what an horrible team 🤮🤮🤮

Lucky to have a point in that game - Brentford literally hit the woodwork 4 times and were by far the better team. I'm scared to look at the spreadsheet Grin

Liverpool and Man Utd are like snakes in 90+ If you let down your guard, you will lose. Other teams stop scoring after 80mins, but Liverpool and Manchester United never stops; every additional minute is an opportunity to score more goals.

I considered them lucky if they should get any point off that game as of the 80th minute, but not quite after they took the lead deep into added time to have my hopes up, just like they’ve done a number of time this season already most noticeably in champions league pot b pool , I’m just surprised that I’m still not wary of them still.

Napoli, Chelsea, Bayerm, Porto, Manutd all dropping drop points- a good week for buwaytress I guess.

This is probably a prime example that submitting in time can always pay off no matter what answers you choose Tongue

Even if you loose badly you are not getting -1 penalty point if you submitted that helps. Also mentioning it once again in hope all will see it, forgetting to submit slashes the rewards from this season as well. Still thinking we will get a shitload of heat when that happened end of season so trying to at least drill it into the heads of engaged managers so you can back us up and say we were actually talking about it all the time

It is written in the OP and specifically pointed out when tagging you all before season started but I just know a lot of people missed it.

Woah, if I see this correctly I am the only team in the BSFL round 4 table that has 0 correct answers thus far (apart from the H2H questions, both of which are not fully correct either). I am on a good way to finish this round with a 0/10 and leea-1334 didn't submit the answers. No sign from leea-1334 so far, still hoping everything is ok there. But regarding the round, not submitting the answers was probably the only way to lose this one against me... I doubt this would have somehow ended in a draw.

Georgian Maradona got too high after beating Greece, not sure if he played, but I just saw Atalanta crushed Napoli. Congratulations darxiaomi, you deserve all 3 points and I deserve nothing. What a dire season this is turning out to be for me, hm.

I like Trofo's idea of adding "weight" based on odds. More incentive for players to take risk, means more exciting outcomes. Have a feeling it will mean even heavier defeats for me though heh.

I forgot the Napoli game was so early, and when i see the result a smile was draw on my face.

Good win for my guys. You lost the chance of win some Argentinian Pesos Tongue

Anyways im doing good this round here, but in the pools was a bloodbath for me.

We discussed it multiple times, it's really hard. All things must be taken into consideration, for example if we implement it, every round should have one.
I was also thinking about some kind of 'home advantage' a lot, but considering how the league is set up (there are 15 games) there's always someone at a disadvantage.

We are constantly discussing stuff but we need to be really careful not to introduce something that is broken or unfair.

It has been rated now, for H2H football you'll probably have to wait until tomorrow. Sleepy..

Napoli played some tricks with Osimhen, claiming he is not going to play in this match, but he played anyway and that didnt help them at all.
If you think about Georgian player Kvaratskhelia Khvicha, he didnt play in this match because of muscle injury, maybe he got that against Greece few days ago.

Don't get your hopes up just yet, stuff like that is notoriously difficult to implement and get it right. And when we start talking odds than you actually have sportsbook and we are not trying to replace that, we are trying to offer something unique.

We are talking about new things all the times and looking what we can bring to the table that hasn't been seen yet. Should be something special up for EURO at least if don't add something new to BSFL before than Cool

Thanks to Newcastle for that epic come back, now I’m within a win from either Juventus or Manchester United to draw level, while a Milan win would put me ahead 🤞🏾🤞🏾

Well this got to be one of the most craziest comeback I've seen. I thought the game was already over when West Ham scored that 3rd goal. Its really hard coming back from that for sure and even if they do, I kinda expected Newcastle to get a draw but that 4th goal from Newcastle changes everything for me. I could have won another extra point from this question if only they didnt score that 4th goal. Oh well, still wins the rounds but kinda surprised

I’m not so much of a tennis addict, but I do pay attention to whatever sports and or players I decide to spend my time watching, Dimitrov defeating Zverev further proves his win against Alcaraz was no fluke.

Yeah, he seems to be in a pretty good form. But the problem is that in Indian Wells he lost straight 2-0 to Medvedev. That's practically the same tournament as Miami (ATP1000, hardcourt) and he couldn't pass the second round. At least that's how it looks to me.

Tennis really is a strange sport, because what would you say of Medvedev then who has not dropped a set yet in Miami, and lost like a novice to Jannik Sinner 6-2, 6-1 ? and also lost Indian Wells finals to Alcaraz in straight set as well, while he put a good fight in the first set losing 7-5, he lost the second set 6-1, meaning while being the world No. 4 ranked tennis player, his last 2 games against the No. 2 and No. 3 players have been straight set losses, while the last 3 sets have been 6-1, 6-1 and 6-2 defeats, to a layman that might suggest he’s nowhere near competing with those two guys but in reality that’s not the case, and according to the sportsbook odds he was a not so significant underdog in the last match, while being the favorite in the first one.

Maybe we will try to put some questions in the future that take odds into consideration. For instance H2H question, we give few teams and if you go for favorite it gives you 1 point and if you go for underdog it gives you 2 points.

This sounds like a good idea. Maybe it would be best to introduce one question like that in a round to see how it goes. But it sounds like it would bring some extra fun to the competition.

There is much more to Tennis than just what the ATP ranking suggest, there are some players that are a headache for certain players simply because of their strength.

Dimitrov definitely is no slouch when it comes to playing tennis at a top level, and he's a very good player with a very similar style to Roger Federer, he's even nicknamed Baby Fed for that reason. Alcaraz strength comes from being a very physical player, and very mobile, but still have a huge weakness especially with his service, he's never at an advantage even when serving, he barely gets any free point from serving against top opponents.

Dimitrov had all the answers to Alcaraz play in that game, he didn't need to be completely mobile to beat Alcaraz because, even when Alcaraz kept going for the baseline and far corner top spin shots, Dimitrov had the advantage due to his flawless one hand backhand spin, drop or winning shots ability.

This post is a great answer to my question on why would anyone go with a surprise result instead of a safe bet. I guess you really like tennis and follow it closely. I watch tennis only when there is a Davis Cup tournament and Croatia is playing. Otherwise, it's a boring sport to me.

This is more related to the type of person you are, and maybe you are confident in your selections, this is like in football some coaches make teir plans and plays without see how the other team plays, and others dont makes anything by himself they only try to stop the way the other team play, that coaches normally are fully defensive, and the other ones are more towards attacking.

For me like other said beofre, i put my selections by the way i think but in some cases i cover what the other guy is gonna put if im not 100% sure.

With this explanation I guess I know how I managed to win all rounds in the season one and now in season four I can't get a single win. I guess other teams really got to know my style of play, so they already know how I will answer even before I submit my answers. That's actually good to know because now I can make adjustments to my game

That’s why BSFL is a tactically very unique game, I over play my hand in certain instances, but most of the time I play very conservatively if I know my opponent and put the odds into consideration, in the second round, I had Swiatek not to make the semi-finals and I got that wrong but regardless of the odds that’s something I’ll likely always go with once I see the player’s bracket, but then it’s a different ball game, if you have a certain amount of players and you have to pick Yes, or No, so there is no grey area.

I’m not so much of a tennis addict, but I do pay attention to whatever sports and or players I decide to spend my time watching, Dimitrov defeating Zverev further proves his win against Alcaraz was no fluke.

Do I want to go safe and follow? Or trust my instinct and possibly win that difficult question, while playing safe on Alcaraz which I know also 100% you'll pick

It is a fine line to thread. You have to go against the odds but usually it is not worth going too much against the odds if you know what I mean

Taking odds of @3 rather @2 on a hunch is probably fine but going @6.5 instead of @1.1 like in Alcaraz case is a bit overdoing it. It is different when betting since it gets you much more if you win but in competitions like this you are bound to loose long time.

Maybe we will try to put some questions in the future that take odds into consideration. For instance H2H question, we give few teams and if you go for favorite it gives you 1 point and if you go for underdog it gives you 2 points.

But I don't understand why would I risk a point by answering differently than what I think my opponent will answer. Surprises are always possible in sport but I never expect a surprise simply because they are rarer than expected outcome.

It's not risking a point, if you think you know better

For example the football Yes/No question, it's very good Cro2 uses it because it's not straightforward as the odds make it. Newcastle vs West Ham for example or Manchester United are the ones who win if you look at odds, so if I play against you, I know you pick them 100%

How the hell was Dimitrov able to beat Alcaraz? I checked the ATP ranking just now when I wrote this question and saw that he isn't that bad. I thought he crashed down all the way in the ranking in the last couple of years. Never heard that he won anything. But still around and good enough to eliminate Alcaraz.
