Topic: ⭐⚽⭐ Sportsbet's Bitcointalk Sports Fanatics League (BSFL) – 10000$ rewards ⭐⚽⭐ - page 256. (Read 106347 times)

love that some of my recommendations/suggestions saw the light of day, from penalties for late submissions to now entrance fees for Division 2.  I'm not taking all the credit; I believe the Cro2 deserves more for considering some of our suggestions to improve the pool each season. The new division 2 fee is  the season's biggest achievement, adding 16mbtc to the prize pool. The higher the reward, the more competitive and appealing it gets. We have to keep pushing till we're able to raise 50% of the entire prize pool from our pockets every season. Everyone should eat good.

Now, back to the new late submission penalty rules - they seem a little grave to me, as I believe we are still in the early stages of implementing anything like this.

Does this means that if one misses two GWs, he loses 8 points and -50%? This might potentially kill motivation. Imo

up to when we can change our BTC address?
I will probably do it, but need few days to figure out where to send reward

again, thanks to everyone involved for competing, congrats to all winners, promotions, and best of luck to all relegated teams, especially cryptofrka, next season to get back into upper range
good luck to LTU_btc in relegation play-off

onwards to season 4

@Trofo @cryptofrka all good with the addy, however, I'm also 1 mBTC indebted to the relegated Team cryptofrka don't forget to deduct from the final rewards, I'd like him to get a good goalkeeper for Division 2, he'll be needing it  


I think jeremypwr would be back stronger, he's got a whole lot to do and that's the only thing I could make of his performance of last season compared to this, na, he's fashow better than that!


As for me, I think I could have done better too, but one too many real life crises here and there be getting to me and in my way to be honest, so to a better year ahead, it's all or nothing as I'll be coming with full freaking force!


The bigger props should got vd309, casperBGD, leea-1334, mitchr4 they were a force to reckon with for the season, and vd309 was the most consistent almost running away with the prize since mid-season, if I'm not mistaken.

I checked mine, all good for now. So I need to win the last decided round to get 1.5 mbtc to pay for that fees huh, sounds about right for me

Since there are now fees applied on division 2, I kinda wonder what would you guys do to fill in the spot in division 2 in case some people want to quit on the next season? I reckon there wont be issue on the current participant on division 2 because they will be paying fees from their reward but what if 2 new promoted players from division 3b could choose to not participate next season?

No, No... I was talking about the fact that I would have finished on the 6th place instead of 10th place with one more victory. Of course, no one knows if I would have won that one round when I failed to submit, but I can't help wonder. But still, 6 mbtc reward for playing and participating in this fun competition is great!

Few things to add:

• We will probably have something fresh as a season-long side competition, we're finalizing it as we speak.
  I think it will be tremendously fun, high risk high reward. Might keep it for the Euros though, but it will be a part of BSFL at some point for sure. Either in s04 or s05.
• The fees collected from deducting the rewards of those not submitting will go towards the next season's rewards pool. We feel the punishment is hard but also fair.
• The players that get disqualified don't get any rewards. That wasn't actually in this season's rules but we're inserting it retroactively for those that haven't finished the season.
  These rewards were freebets, but still doesn't make sense to reward the lack of effort.
• Division 2 comes with 50% of the Division 1's fee. Considering the rewards, it isn't quite fair - but we'll bump the Div2 rewards a bit to compensate.
  It makes sense from the competition's point of view though - we want Div1 to be even more elite.
  90+% of participants will at least get their money back from season rewards anyway.
• Please understand that the budget is initially calculated in USD and then transferred to BTC - so the rewards in BTC will be lower in S04 that they were in S03.
  The Division 1 entry fee is therefore increased if we look at it in USD terms, but we feel it is warranted. The same is for the new Division 2 fee.

This is for next season. This season you will receive full reward.

Damn... That three points lost due to not checking if I did submit has cut my reward in half. Pretty expensive mistake to make, but OK. I know I'm probably boring you all with this so I promise I won't bring it up again

Anyway, I love the rewards and I once again Trofo and cryptofrka I thunk you guys are doing one hell of a job!

Here is a link to rewards distribution table. This is alpha version and main things you guys need to do is check your BTC addresses and let us know if you want it changed. If it is good no need to tell us. Those are addresses you signed up with in dedicated thread but double check to be certain. Once payments are out there is no going back.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14aA_BAAqK-T-YDo8hiWzTK1YfzrNauqv4AxQs-x18ps/edit#gid=1676475336

You can see from the tables that next season fees are as follows:
Division 1 - 2 mBTC
Division 2 - 1 mBTC
Division 3 - free

All fees will be auto taken from your rewards. We presume that everyone continues to play. Again, if you want out, this is the time to tell us. Also if you know somebody new that is interested, this is the week for him to sign up. If you have been disqualified and want back in let us know(there will be some sort of evil fee implemented).

Table is not 100% finished:
We need promotion/relegation playoffs to finish to correctly charge fees
We need cup to finish to correctly order top 4 cup participants

There will be few players that need to actually pay 1 mBTC to compete in Season 4 since your rewards are not in BTC. You can see by your name minus in to be paid column.

From next season we will again turn the screw on those that are not submitting. It is not official yet but it will probably look something like this:
1 miss - you loose 20% of the reward
2 misses - you loose 50% of the reward
3 misses - disqualification and no reward

If we don't have many new players this will be for all divisions but we may relinquish it in Div 3 if we get many new players. First two division are 99%.

Hey mate. We had a 50 btc side bet on who would finish the BSFL ahead at the beginning of the season. I didn't want to remind you of it because of being shy. However when I saw your post I decided to remind you of it. Tell me when you are ready to pay. I will sent you my address in private.


If it wasn't for the points I lost to you I was going to finish the league in top 3, damn!  I have already set an alarm on my phone for this season.

Two-week break, I'm just going to quietly not invite some seniors for training, instead I'll promote more of my academy. After going full tilt last season and failing in the manner of Arsenal, we Liverpooled this season, tanking after tiring ourselves out in the effort.

Tables don't lie, or do they? I ended up 8 points below the winner -- but 10 positions below. cryptofrka will agree, the table doesn't reflect how well or how badly we really did (I also had 3 free points from CLS63) and unlike last season, where points scored was terrific, I've managed to end on negative diff.

Farewell to my compatriot jeremypwr, the other team who battled to the end last season. Don't stay away too long...

Harko and casper are giants. They improved on last season's performances, staying near the top but credit to mv1986 and leea-1334. Those two went from Div3 (hard-fought playoffs, by the way) to Div2 (top 2, by the way) to Div1 and immediately staked their claim to the top half of Div1. That's three seasons of consistency, and I think I understand now who the cream really are. Quiet assassins...


Jesus, please remind me what I lost this time? Haha, and DM me an address!

P.S. Any of you know I owe money, please don't be shy. I can't keep track. Trofo or cryptofrka -- if it's even enough, can I request 2 mbtc be taken out of my prize and directed to Slissy instead? #nopoor

Let's join together to kick all teams that were "given" division 1 status in the first season I'm kidding, of course. But it only shows that the teams who went trough the purgatory in the first season have some serious skills.

EDIT: On a serious note, do we have some new teams that will be joining us in the next season?

Well, I had to organise one friendly at least to prepare my team for top division next season. I wanted a stable div1 team and someone I did not play against already. You were the first one that crossed my mind while I was inviting our newest member to participate.

You are on. 1 mBTC bet friendly. Will be auto added/deducted to our end of season rewards.

Fun fact, from the mighty second divison of the first season, we remain in firts division all the one teams who got promotion on that one ( Slakovic , vd309 ,mitchr4 and i) and now we receive other two  from that historic div 2 , notblox and strongkored.

DIV 2 first season to the power! with Vd reaching the championship.

Congratulations to vd309 for winning 1 div. The same thing happened with vd309 and casperBGD as it did with me and jeremypwr in the first season where I won the league with only 2 goals difference😁

Congratulations to everyone else who has also moved up to a new division😁

cryptofrka We had the most boring match ever and the worst with only 1 right answer each, so I think we would have lost against everyone anyway.. But I'm glad you won some money in the sociedad match, it means you now have some capital to bribe other teams in div 2 again. It didn't work in Div 1 😁😁

Now the other Mafia (Trofo) did tag me in Telgram chat and asked for a 1 mbtc side bet. Of course, I had to say yes to that, to show him that now it is the top teams he is facing😁😂

@buwaytress Do we have confirmation of the winner of the 2mbtc side bet that we had before the season?😁

Oh, wait... I didn't know that LTU_btc is gonna play a playoff game to stay in the division 1. So you are going for all or nothing? Well good luck. May the best team win and let it be me

I will probably wait tomorrow to submit my answers.

The plan is to start immediately after the Cup Final, so beginning of March.
We think that 2 weeks is enough holidays for most of you, the only one without any break will be chi20.

We congratulate everyone who achieved promotion or maintained important positions, especially those who achieved survival.

I haven't played for 4 weeks, I thought this round was for the final cup match
I'm very excited for the new season, maybe I can get promoted to the second division

When will next season start?

I guess someone is desperately sourcing for revenue to secure even a stay in the Division 2, wow. How many economic lever has your club activated yet ?

Perhaps, you should consider selling 50-70% ownership to foreign investors, I'm sure there are some whales with fat cheque books in Division 3 that would be willing to claim even complete ownership of a supposed "Mob Boss" club.

Welcome to Division 2 Jinetics1111.
Arallmuus do your best to win, I'm rooting for you mate.

Here I go again. Another week not resting 😴  I'm exhausted,  running out of ideas when I needed it most. 😴

My form is so shit that there's nothing for you to worry about

2mBTC side bet accepted!
