I'm up against ~~CasperBGD, who hasn't won in his last 3 games and has scored 8 goals while conceeding 11- there's yet hope to move up a bit~~ cls63

you sure?
I am playing Slissy this round, if I remember it well from general schedule, that I can't find at the moment

oh cls63

my mistake.

You can find the full fixtures here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.61981371 no new season date yet from the best of my knowledge.

my team captain got an injury but i expect him to be back against Cls63 and i also would prefer island for pre-season, a cold snow is what they all need now to cool off.

Are we going to have some pre-season games for side bet to keep busy ? Cro2 team.

Are we starting last round of BSFL this Monday or we are waiting for CUP to finish first?

This Monday will be the last league round and then the week after we'll hold the cup final and Div2 and Div3 promotion playoffs.

We'll see what we can do for the League betting, I doubt we'll be able to offer these but I'm quite certain we'll have them for the cup final.

What a boring week it was without the league games, and the cup games took much longer than expected. Perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if I had put in my answers to keep me active, but I can't wait to finish the league and focus on doing better next season.

I'm 3 points away from the relegation zone, and even if I lose my next game, the chances of me being relegated are small. LFC_Bitcoin would need to win 5-0 or 6-1 against Harkorede, the relegation team terminator Grin

, to have a chance.

Now off to the final round @mitchr4, good luck!

The penalty will be interesting because there are many different choices, good luck too!
One question left will decide who will advance to the next round. I tried to be the best but sometimes our efforts are not as good as the others so. I'm sorry for people who pick me. Whoever gets into the next round is the real winner.

I see that there are many people who bet on me to win this round but I failed in doing so unfortunately. Sad

Sorry about that. But I will try to improve more and do better next year.

Congrats @vd309. You did a pretty good job and finished the round even earlier than I expected. Because I hoped to have a close rivalry between us. At least I closed the score gap a little by predicting the Aston Villa - Tottenham match correctly. Grin

Anyway good luck to you from now on.

It is really nice to follow the tough rivalry between mv1986 and mitchr4 now as well because it is 2-2.

Congratulations to vd309 who is now leading 4-1 against Pulsar77.

Its pretty exciting to bet one some other person while you only watch from the sideline Roll Eyes

. Glad that I made some money betting on vd309.

So while we are at this, wouldnt it be fun to bet on the winner of division 1, 2 and 3 for the last round next week? At this rate, I dont think there is any clear winner yet and those at #1 and #2 spot can still grab that top place

It would be fun if the betting odds were assigned for the last round. I will put all my bets on all the underdogs. Grin

As is the case tomorrow in the Barcelona match, where the underdogs will be the home team, but they are in desperate need of achieving points in this match in order to stay in the league for the next season.So I will go with the underdogs in this match, hoping that what I have in mind will happen. Grin

Good luck to both @mv1986 and @mitchr4 to win in penalty kicks.

I think my boy vd309 is safe and he can't lose anymore with two goals advantage and one answer same as his opponent, so he is going in final match and my bet will be on hi again!

Agreed, it was such a tight range to pick, but in the context of Villa (or rather, the context of Spurs haha), it seemed a near-valid assumption.

In the past 4 games before Spurs, despite playing very well, they have had between 1 to 3 shots on target... but scored 2 goals, so they do have a 50% conversion rate! Go back to the game where they destroyed Newcastle? 6 shots on target and 3 goals. Also 50%.

Villa don't usually get many shots on target, but I thought hey, this is Spurs, so they'll allow more. Sure enough! 80 minutes, it was 4 on target, and they already had the 2 goals. Another 50% conversion rate..!

Then they simply played out the rest of the game to manage that lead, absorbing the toothless attacks of Spurs, almost wrong decision too -- they should know Spurs peak really late, penalty didn't help in the end. Kane got a yellow, this is a frustrated side. Crime to see Kane and Son playing in that team.

Anyway, well done mitch for grabbing the draw! Now we see how you do in a "penalty shootout"!

You are on point with those calculations, but if Aston Villa has like three shots on target and doesn't score (which can essentially happen quite often), the only one out you are left with is two shots two goals for the rest of the game. Even a penalty counts as a shot on target. If your selection is correct and it's getting close, you don't even want your team to get a penalty if that means they cross the 5.5 line. If it hits, it is a brilliant pick and that is what mitchr4 did here, congratulations, but it is a tough pick for the reason I explained above. The range of possibilities for success is quite narrow. The start here was perfect with first shot first goal because it also took away a lot of dynamic that sometimes leads to a lot of shots on target.

What I like about this competition is that you also learn some more about game mechanics that haven't so present when you did the usual betting stuff. As you brought it up now, the conversion rate is certainly a key factor here, good observation!

Now off to the final round @mitchr4, good luck!

Mitch picked "Aston Villa under 5,5 shots on target and over 1,5 goals". Now that can happen of course, but I thought that the under/over in this combination narrows down the range of opportunities quite a lot. If Aston Villa scores 2 goals, that is already 2 shots on target. If Aston Villa has 4 shots on target but has not scored by then, the point is gone. That is why I thought I would either go with over/over or under/under.

And after all I have no idea what Tottenham's plan is for tomorrow to surprise us all! Cheesy

Concede 5 goals in 15 minutes this time?

I think that NHL players would give USA team much more quality, but it wouldn't make that much of a difference like when France is playing football without Mbappe, Coman and others... In ice hockey there are three or even four lines that play together and they are always changing every few minutes. Ice hockey is a very intense game and no player can play for more than few minutes. That's why I think that one or two players from the NHL would make such a big difference. They would bring some quality but not that much like Mbappe brings to the France football team. After all, USA is constantly playing in the top rank of the World cup even though they almost never play with the best NHL players.

They are missing almost 2 full lineups. I agree that the players that are playing are still quite good, but it's not just a few players - it's a third of their team.

__________________________

Only 1 NBA conference semifinal will reach game 7, meaning that we have our first finalist!

Congratulations to vd309 who is now leading 4-1 against Pulsar77.

It's still open in the other semifinal, mitchr4 needs a point in the Aston Villa - Tottenham game to reach the penalties.

Honestly I only went with the odds because I am not proficient enough in ice hockey stuff to know how these games might pay out and where the odds might be off.

But one of my thoughts was that even if some of the best US players can't attend the World Cup because they have to play in the NHL, doesn't (especially) the US have dozens of players that can fill the gap without a significant loss in quality on the pitch? Or is it like the France national soccer team would have to play without Mbappe, Coman, Griezmann, Konaté and Koundé?

USA won against Finland today, they are always a hard team to gauge in competitions like these. A dominant performance, if they will play like this they might even challenge Canada for the title.

I didnt wat h the game, but it's hard to predict an ice hockey game where USA is playing. It all depends how far is their NHL season because players which clubs gets kicked out of the playoffs are free to play for the national team. And it's a big difference when NHL players are playing for the national team and when they are not playing.

I actually prefer when it is like this and USA is missing a lot of players. Then bookies always underestimate them like yesterday. I don't know exactly the team that they brought this year but usually it is full of very good young players that will give their best to prove they are good enough to play play offs next time this competition comes along Grin

They always play fast hockey with full 3 squads and have great team spirit. I am expecting the same this time around.

I used to play ice hockey in an amateur club. It was at the time Medvescak played in the Austrian league and later in the KHL. Bunch of us that were attending the games got together and created a club. It was great and I love the sport. I'm very sad that I don't have time for to play anymore. Back then I was watching all world cup games and I never understood why the IIHL never wanted to schedule the World cup so that it is played when the NHL season is over. But USA team was always full of young players that wanted to prove themselves.

My man mitch only has 1 more answer different to tie the game, but I believe in him, he picked the Villa question as I would have... Over 5.5 shots on target and over 1.5 goals haha. Tough, tough selection but I think it'll hit.

Sevilla really broke the hearts of underdog lovers last night, didn't they?
