now we know you favorite sport, it is definitely hockey

basically all QF matches except for USA ended-up as surprises, no matter odds I found Finland losing most surprising, somehow believed they will found their form in knock-out phase, but ain't happened

now is a chance for USA to win title after that long period, Canada is on their way, Germany and Latvia should have a lot of luck to pass into finals against them

Yeah, ice hockey is my favorite sport. I even played it until I got kids. After that I didn't have any more time so I had to give up. I really like the sport because it's fast and there's always action.

As for the World championship, I'd expect that USA and Canada will meet in the final. But after the results in the quarters, you can never be sure. Germany's goalie was a true hero of yesterday's game by stopping all but one shot.

I don't know what happened to Switzerland. They have put together what some believe to be their best ice hockey teams in history and managed to lose in the quarters. I'm sure that there will be many disappointed fans in Switzerland today as I'm sure they were aiming for the medal.

Today I found an interesting fact about the USA national ice hockey team. Did you know that their last World championship title was 90 years ago? It's hard to believe as the USA is often considered as one of the favorites, but I guess the problem is that the NHL organization doesn't want to pause the competition during the IIHF World championship.

Hah Chelsea the destroyer of Jinetics? Don't worry man, still a long way to go, if you need cheering look at me. Not even worth anything and no pressure and I still only got 1 point so far. I think you should win the goals total too, unless everyone plays for 0-0 but not likely

I can't wait to see who my new competitors are in Div2

I personally think it's fitting that Slissy took this season -- he's maybe the oldest user active on chat at SB, hope to see him also post more often in the forums here too.

Like oldest in term of real life age? woah

No, like one of the first customers Sporsbet ever had when they opened for the business. Hope you don't mind us sharing a bit of your lore Slissy. We have to educate our bitcoin brothers here and there

That gives you 1 point advantage over @Pulsar77, goodluck on the 3rd place final. I kinda wonder why most people were going for over 3.5 goals on this. If I were playing in this I would have gone for under 2.5 goals as well though. My thought process would be City might play this one less aggresive than usual especially because they have won the league hence under 2.5 goals on this but it seems they were quite aggresive yesterday

I pity the guys who picked 3 goals yesterday and still didn't win, thanks to VAR (don't know why Pep was so upset, a shirt pull's a shirt pull, I felt it was soft but absolutely correct... if you've ever run on a pitch and even gotten pinched just a little it throws you off balance).

I totally forgot about sending my try as well for fun, one of those days that slips by when you think about it all the time in the morning.

So you are staying in Division 1 next season?
It is going to be a big competition next year in both Division 1 and 2 and I think BSFL will become much more popular when guys from website start competing.

Unfortunately for everyone, yes. Or fortunately, if I'm the giver of points. Worked well to back slight underdogs in the first half of season, and then no longer after that.

I can tell you guys that I actually watched the game for a little while and when the second goal was scored I stopped watching for quite a bit. I did select under 2.5 because I thought this is one of those games where either City scores the firs and then doesn't invest much into scoring another one, but rather ace the ball possession game and save some energy for the games in the next weeks. But Brighton was also pressing and that made me think that this one is probably lost. I was hoping for no more than three goals in order to tie this round against Pulsar77. But what an ending given that the VAR also had to intervene.

It seems like inspired selection in hindsight but you were a bit lucky here. There was several more goals that did not stand due to faul, offside or handball and even some posts. On another day this match could have had 5 goals easy.

Oh no doubt about that and I guess I implied this by saying that I stopped watching for quite a bit because I thought there is no way it is going to end with two goals only. Even my hope was gone that it will end with 3 goals. A funny coincidence was that when I started watching again right in that moment the one goal was scored but not given. Definitely a lucky ending when those two teams are on the pitch and it is 1-1 after 38 minutes. I guess in 90% - 95% of such games at least a third goal is scored.

But it was inspired selection before the game started as I described before. I didn't expect City to go for three or four goals if they score the first one.

Edit: as @buywaytress also said, there is less incentive to select an outcome that is against the mainstream expectation. I was sure that not too many would choose under 2.5 and at the same time thought there is a realistic chance for that outcome. Apart from the fact that it was literally over after the first half, selecting outcomes that can make the difference is also a bit of a strategic element.

That one was a n intense sweat for me! Cheesy

It is not over yet, but if this one point makes me win this round, it would be one of the more spectacular picks, wouldn't it?

It's pretty funny to watch the results without the pressure. I can't believe that there are so many wrong answers this week. The only "good" answer so far is the Inter-Fiorentina game and most of you got it right.

2 VAR killed us all, the score would have been more than 3.5 goals without VAR.

Yeah that would've been sweet, my opponent had over 3. Been a somewhat tough round thus far I must say. Grin

@darxiaomi: Argentina's doing amazing things with peso. Should ask Steve to put a special on how high inflation can get by UCL final. On that note, I am sending you a PM Wink

Hahahaha man you make me laugh.

And its more fun to come, the forecasts are saying for may we reach the double digit per month, so in may we are gonna have 10% inflation in only one month, i think the 15 of June we are gonna know the official number.

and I think BSFL will become much more popular when guys from website start competing. Maybe we could send all out answers directly from Sportsbet website instead of google forms, but it would probably be a lot of extra fork for stuff, unles cro2 team starts working there full time Grin

You mean everyone from sportsbet would be able to participate? but we already have similar 'quiz' like this on sportsbet, the 4-3 free and 6-6 free. I've never won anything from those two and I wouldnt want BSFL to available for the entire sportsbet's player lol I want this to become an exclusive league for bitcointalk user like us.

I wish we can get more players for season 2 though, it would be alot more fun that way

We opened the competition to people that are active on Sportsbet chat. Mostly guys from my Premier League Fantasy chat which will also become BSFL chat directly on Sportsbet page once per week. You heard it here first

That is nowhere near the exposure 4-3 gets and it is exposure to the people that basically chat about sports all day long. They should be a nice fit for this competition.

We already had a couple of those guys in first season, our grand winner Slissy is one of them.

Never gonna happen, point is that we run it here, otherwise it is just another promo on Sportsbet site. Social component that this thread provides is crucial to the project.
