Would never see anyone say Rune has a chance against Djokovic in last year but I guess people are seeing his performances dip. I have a feeling champs like Djokovic raise their levels when meeting guys like Alcaraz and play "disappointedly" when meeting weaker opponents.

I feel also like sports is getting more demanding. It's not first tournament I see players play so soon after last game.

1 out of 3. I'm getting so bad at BSFL but nice if we get greens even on our same answers

/snip

When I saw that Rune is in the same bracket as Djokovic, I knew how to answer it. And after Tsitsipas has let me down so many times, I had to go with him not getting to the semi-final. That man has ruined so many of my would be victories in the past... If I'm not mistaken, first of the three different answers gets settled tomorrow. That's why I don't like having much answers the same as my opponent - there's not much to discuss

Then Tsitsipas has let you down once again, and he did it in straight set and almost effortlessly too.

That means my opponent already have one correct answer too, so I really need Djokovic to overcome Holger Rune for me to win that H2H as I'm still one point down, and it's not looking good yet for me for this round.

Yeah tennis and football, depending on age of courts/fields, there are min and max standards but not everyone has the same. I remember Highbury the most as the shortest -- people frequently felt they were running out of grass!

Anyway, damn. Sinner withdrew, that lack of rest thing you guys talking about, I don't get it either.

I face down another point loss as Tsitsi actually make it through, it appears the best I can hope for now is a draw if Djoker pulls through later. Doesn't look good to lose to Div1 new faces so I'll be looking to improve when Cro2 mafia comes to town. Is it me or are all of us having tough rounds? Ignoring Kokee's 10 goals scored.

That is both true and false at the same time. If by court you mean actual space between the lines, then they are all the same size. If by the court you mean whole pitch where players are running then there are vast differences. One of the reasons Nadal is so good in RG is almost unlimited space around the pitch which he can use to run down the balls. There is very little such space in Paris which is understandable since it is indoors event. There is also quite low roof and you can often see players hitting it with the balls. Specific conditions at the very least.

Well yeah, sure. I thought he meant the actual court dimensions - like in football where you have a variable pitch sizes.

To be honest - I would be furious as a professional tennis player if I saw I don't have that much space to move around. I agree that some courts are way too narrow - especially on clay.

I start pretty good this round, regardless of my opponents current state I am glad I gor 3 points already and couple more should be enough for 3 points in this gw. And maybe more like weekly freebet, let's see.

I do not feel comfortable about my pick on how many barca ganna score one tho , I picked 2 goals but would change it to 1 goal if I had a chanse right now but it is ok..

I'm looking forward to Đoković - Rune match, it's for the BSFL point as well. I took Rune to win by mistake but the more I analyze it, the more I feel he's got a real chance of winning against Novak.

I agree. I don't follow tennis that much, but you can't make a player play a game 14 hours after he has played the last game. How did that happen anyway? Was it some sort of change in the schedule?

As for my tennis answer, both me and slaman29 have the same answer but I would have very much like to win that point for a freebet.

His first match got delayed a bit since matched before it were very long and then it was also a long 3 set match by itself. Problem is nobody accounted for that next day, Most venues have a set time when matches are stopped like 11PM but not such thing in Paris.

Weird results in Paris so far, agreed. And what happened to Sinner really should not be happening in professional sport of such magnitude.

Since also German newspapers are going crazy about something that I would have never paid attention to, I wanted to share with you that BSFL questions got me learning about how these NBA drafts work and I think one question was about Victor Wenbanyama.

The article says "Victor Wenbanyama's 38 points craziness in the NBA". I remember doing my research back then and literally every single article said that he is going to be the only one monster that every other generation in basketball brings forth. I guess it was right! Wink

This thing with Sinner is total disgrace. He was maybe even first favorite for me in Paris and then the organizers make him play without any time for recuperation. It is usual to at least give players in his situation late slot so they get about 20 hours between the matches. That gives them time for recuperation before sleep.

Good thing he forfeited even though that probably screwed my pick (not sure what my opponent picked), there is already several players heaping pressure on ATP for such behavior.

Yeah, Sinner was one of my favorites together with Medvedev, so I already know that I won't get point for this question. First of all, they shouldn't start to play after midnight. It's not good for players and specators. They ended to play somewhere 2.40 AM local time what is ridiculous. Sometimes players have 2 matches same day, usually when tournament had lot of rain delays, but in this situation organizers made bad decision. For example Roland Garros have curfew when matches should be stopped at 11 PM, but as I understand it doesn't counts for indoor tournaments.
But after watching WTA Finals, I understand that ATP is ages ahead them Cheesy

. Tiny stadium looks like made for 250 torunament, not Finals and players have to fight not only against their opponent, but also huge wind. I probably I haven't seen tournament with top players and so many 6:0 sets Cheesy

.

It was more like a coin flip betting on tennis games in Paris honestly so many swings in their result, I wouldn't say it is unusual to see such results, but the anomaly here is beyond the usual I've ever witnessed, at least there is still a Djokovic match to see, if not, I don't think I'll be watch any other match in the tournament, their different courts doesn't seem of equal measurement, I don't even know if there is a specific standard for tennis court measurement, but with the games I watched in Paris, I can make an informative guess that the court sizes aren't the same, even if there is a standard measurement range enforced by the ITF for ATP and WTA tours, I'm sure the courts in Paris even they meet the standard ranges aren't of equal sizes across all courts, as it is obviously very tough for the professionals to make lob shots that they do make on other courts with significant force without the ball going wide or out.

Jaw breaker for the tennis question, question No. 8, with Danil Medvedev eliminated early into the tournament, we have Jannik Sinner had to forfeit his 1/16 match up against Alex De Minaur due to fatigue has he had just about 14 hours after a 3 set game win against McDonald to be on court against, there is absolutely for him to recover for a game in 14 hours, after he had played until 2:37 AM against McDonald, that's surely a very poor fixtures schedule from the organizers to be very honest. However, that's to my very own advantage, I have all players No for my answers, and my opponent have otherwise, meanwhile 2 players are out already, while Holger Rune is likely to face Novak Djokovic in the Quarter finals, increasing my chances there. Tsitsipas had just won his own fixture against Zerev, had the result gone the other way, that would have been a wrap for me on that question, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

We might be tempted to increase the participation fee for Division 1 players and maybe even introduce a minor fee for Division 2 participants down the road.
However, we'd rather that everybody has some fun and gets something out of it than having a 5k$ difference between the 1st and 7th spot in the 1st Division.

We think that a big draw to the competition is that every few months there is some reward for all of us. Kinda sends positive vibes and makes for good banter among the BTT community.

We might have something up our sleeves soon for the more competitive ones, but it won't be a part of the BSFL. We'll let you know if it materializes.

Div 1 pays 2.5mBTC, Div 2 pays 1.5mBTC, and Div 3 plays for free in order to achieve promotion and experience. I'm not sure if the Cro2 has ever thought of this setup. Div 2 shouldn't be playing for free

I feel like this could be something to consider actually. Could complicate but why not a portion of Div2 prizes set aside for paid participants? The more pay, the bigger the portion from overall Div2?

It may be difficult, but it is doable with a sufficient number of participants in Div 2 who are willing to pay and those in Div 3 who are willing to pay. Divisions 3 A and B can always compete for free bets. We need to enhance the prize pool for Divisions 1 and 2.

I personally want the first reward for the Div 1 winner to be about $3-5k in the future, and in order to do so, we must raise the join fees every season. It's worth paying 3-4mBTC for a chance to earn $3k or $5k in less than three months.

I was pretty damn sure that Manchester United and Arsenal would both not win their games.

Agreed on this, I got a point in my H2H there as well. Shame that I was a smartass and went the 'safer' way with my tickets, betting on BTTS on both games instead on the actual outcomes.
I'm losing the tennis question due to a mistake I've made for sure, so it's good to be in the lead early on.

_______________________________

Baseball world series ended earlier than expected, with Texas securing a 4-1 victory. Cricket went the expected way, with SA securing an important win against NZ.

But you name it, I said I was pretty damn sure about those outcomes, yes, but I was a big fat coward at the same time as I didn't have the guts to place a bet on those games. I didn't check the odds and I am quite sure that a combination bet of Arsenal not winning and Manchester United not winning would have been a pretty decent outcome. But there is of course still a big difference to bet on "X not to win the game" instead of "Y to win the game". The odds for the combo West Ham + Newcastle would have nicely been in the double digits.

I bought a PS5 however I couldn't buy the newly released games because of their being very expensive. Therefore I'm confessing that I sold the match to buwaytress last week. Tongue

If we play against each other in the cup I can sell the match to you as well in exchange for a game chair. Tongue

Joking aside it is really very sad to have lost 4 points because of forgetting to make predictions. Because after becoming the champion last season I have been wishing to finish in at least top 3 in this year as well.

Back home I used to hear stories of people who'd go out and buy the most expensive bike they could afford after getting a windfall... and then not having enough money to buy petrol so the bike becomes a showpiece they just walk around with haha.

Nice that we can openly discuss our corruption and everyone lets us go Wink

Don't worry, plenty of points left to play for. I have a bad feeling about this round, already down 1 point for trusting NZ twice in a row... leea is last year's Div2 champ too.

It is actually a little bit closer than you think, I got 4 correct answers as Udinese lost in overtime and tied the game in the 90 minutes and those 90 minutes are what counts anyway.

my favorite in Serie A, Cagliari, won it decently
Cagliari was a much better team last night, but Udinese took a lead through set piece, and change to max defense
nevertheless, Cagliari scored great one from free kick, and it was an obvious penalty on that point as well and pass through on late winner in 120 minute, last minute in extratime, could score another one after that

all in all, congrats to Cagliari for passing through, but looking forward looks grim, with Milan waiting there

I could not ask for a better start in Round 3.
After first two questions I have three points advantage over my nemesis, but we have four more different questions and anything can happen in next few days.
This season I am going for best possible goal difference, and my players will be serious until the last whistle.
Lets see what happens this weekend and let the best team wins.
