If this announced lineup actually starts I think I got 9 correct Grin

The Alcaraz - Norrie game will be interesting to track, I feel that a lot of matchups will depend on that one. Alcaraz is a favorite, but 1 dropped set might make all the difference.


I got about 8-9 correctly of the starting XI too, I knew Loftus-Cheek vs Kovacic was a coin toss imo, but Sterling and Ziyech, over Mason Mount and Mudryk isn't what I was expecting ngl.

Alcaraz should just lose this game and do the entire world some good Undecided Undecided

Graham Potter has struck again!! What's the deal with these lineups? We're not going to win with Ziyech, Sterling, and Havertz up front. BTW, Cro2 team, that was a technical question you had there, and you all know how shy and confused our manager is right now. Kudos

LRC over Kovasic
Koulibaly over Bashidale ( our most inform CB)
Ziyech over Mudryk

Got only 7 right...... Lol Potter happened to me.

My Alcaraz prediction is in a tight spot after he dropped a second set in the semis earlier against Jarry. I'll need a clean 2-0 win from Alcaraz to maintain the draw and I might throw in a bet if the odds are good enough as I don't like my chances on the Chelsea question.

Also, i'm looking forward to that DotA question in the next round.  Cheesy
I just need draws for lower and upper bracket announced today, hopefully there will not be too many tie breakers. If they start playing tie breakers like in the last event deadline for posting questions will come and I will not be able to do anything about it Smiley

Some sports like tennis and DOTA really make it challenging to include them. We always have to make tennis question something about outright winner since we only know first round draws when we post questions. Our schedule is geared towards football with emphasis on Champions League in this first season.

First question of Round 2 guaranteed burst...hope my adversary went the same route  Cry

So Alcarazv made it to the finals Roll Eyes and what I hate about his opponent (Norrie) has never won a match against the Spaniard, this is too easy...Atp ranking 2.

Feel like those any congratulatory messages need to start flowing in as soon as possible  Tongue and at 1.2 odds quite generous

I sent my answers a few minutes late and that affected a point in my favor, now I am losing 3-1 and I highly doubt that I will win 2 points and be tied, apparently I have already lost this round

One suggestion for Trofo and cryptofrka. Could you somehow mark the H2H questions in the table? Maybe it could say "(H2H) 9. Tottenham meets...". That way we can tell right from the table header which question is head to head.

These are the only ones that will be painted differently when we check the results. We can maybe mark the top rows in these columns with different color - we'll think about it.

/snip

I see that you colored rows of H2H question differently. Thank for that. It's much easier now to track my success. And when I say success, it really is. I'm up 3-1 against the last week Division 2 champion. I know we have a lot more questions to go but I like my odds.

STOP BETTING ON FU...ING LIVERPOOL!!!!

Sorry man you needed to hear it  Grin I know they brought you a lot of joy and money in last couple of seasons but this season it just isn't working for them.

Keep to your upsets, there is enough of them in PL every week and you will be back quickly. I have also been in red for some time, always missing multi tickets by one match. Good thing DOTA major started and I immediately won a couple of tickets. You can start preparing, I am gonna put one DOTA fixture in next week questions if schedule allows it. We need to mix the sports a little  Cool And I will let my colleague surprise with some other sport if possible.

Who knows what I would have written if you wanted an advice. I call it selective reading.

I know. I know. And I promise (heh heh) my last big bet will be on Real 2nd leg. After that, stick to upsets.

Today is Bournemouth under 11/1 to win at City... Can't believe the odds are so low these days, even Nott Forest was less than 10/1 last week. Just goes to show the confidence in City is waning, along with the betting value.

3 seasons ago Newcastle 25/1 vs City. How times change.

DOTA? I'm absolutely going to wing that one. I'm away from home til Tuesday so not sure I will find time to research.

Stop betting on your favorite team if you want to enjoy the game. I've learned the hard way that whenever I put Chelsea on my bet slip, I lose every single time. Going against them isn't working too.  Grin

I haven't learnt this lesson for years. I'm a very, very poor student, as it turns out (though I should have understood this from my teens).

If I could have powers to bet against my team to ensure I lose, I'd do it. It's crazy how I can't even try put 1 cent against them though!

"I am doing poor, AND I know what to do next!" Tongue

Made me smile for sure!

Here's another big smile for you. It's 90th minute and Benzema has made it 5-2 and we are losing and sad. I go to my laptop. My kid asks me what I'm doing.

I say: looking for odds on next game for Liverpool to qualify.
He asks: how much you gonna put?
I say: Oh the usual, just 1 euro. Always.

Spoiler: I did not put 1 euro...

Maybe you want sell a house and bet everything on Liverpool?
You can check my Championship pick for this weekend, but don't blame me if you lose again  Grin
Better be careful with Premier League this weekend, we might see few more surprises and unexpected results.

Thankfully I'm not single and have dependents. Would probably have done something idiotic like that if alone. I went for your Championship picks too, by luck we actually shared upsets (but I skipped Burnley).

Another poor week for me, picks, predictions, betting. What can I do but pour more money into last ditch attempts? Or stick it out and just bet on underdogs till end of season, while focusing everything on BSFL?

I trust in Barca. They played better over the first 90 minutes, they'll be pumped. Rashford, though!
Never trust Barcelona in Old Trafford Wink

Great advice! I somehow hoped that Man United can win and now I have 2-1 lead over vd309. I'm so happy because he answered most questions correctly in the last week. Now let's see how good are our other answers Smiley

I'm losing positions in every pool since last week, and nothing with my sporting endeavors has been going smoothly, so you can't be worse than me. LOL After two games in the BSFL, I'm already down two games.

______________________

Alcaraz lost a set against Fognini, he's still got 3 matches to the title and I can afford him to lose only 1 more set.
He's got Lajović next, that should be an easy win - he beat him 2-0 in Buenos Aires this year already.

Guy who was doing that was tyKiwanuka and it was logical for MM that did not have a connection between weeks otherwise. I really don't see what we could track in this competition and that we aren't already tracking  Grin
Yes, it was tyKiwanuka, and sadly he is not active in forum anymore Sad
Instead of having new screenshot image posting I think it's better for everyone to add that table in spreadsheet, unless it's extra work for you guys.
I am not saying you did anything bad, just tried to say my opinion and suggestions.

Our main goal now is to show the merits of this competition and to attract new quolity players for season 2. That way we can procede with planned leagues expansions.
Maybe you can search for new players outside bitcointalk forum for the next season.
Spreadsheet alone doesn't solve random draw and stuff like that, it is better to have it done by third party. We have something in the pipeline which we belive will look much better than screen shots. But more abot that from next week onwards when we implement it.

Regarding new players, we already have some players from Sportsbet Clubchat but this competition is here to reward bitcointalk and sportsbet users. So those are the only players we are interested in. Bitcointalk is sort of problematic for new users who aren't used to forums and especially one with strict rules like here.

Yes a few people did pick the right one, well done to them. If only Lukaku could score one more I would get a point, but then again so is my competitor buwaytress with the same answer, so this match was not important to me anyway.

City draw, I think a lot of people actually thought that was possible including the bookies. I remember odds for a draw was just slightly above odds for a City win Smiley

Nicked a win in the first round, but I remember you going far in the WC quiz, so you're definitely one of the better players here (Division 1 is hot I guess, ha).

If one of us ends up winning, it'll be the Chelsea lineup, I got a bit of a "funny" pick in there heh.

I think I indicated in a separate thread here in the gambling section that City would find it very difficult to score against Leipzig. And I don't know how I changed my mind and placed such a big bet in favor of the city, fortunately I posted my answer about the game before. Wink
Today we have an exciting match for Manchester United against Barcelona, ​​I noticed that the majority are going with beat Barcelona in regular time as is the case with me Grin

Trust your instinct eh? Funny how the money always goes somewhere else when in doubt. But that's probably why we all end up losing if we start taking bets seriously.

I trust in Barca. They played better over the first 90 minutes, they'll be pumped. Rashford, though!

Since we don't yet have a specific fixtures calendar, I would personally recommend that we set up emails to serve as automatic deadline reminders. I would also advise the team to always post links to questions on the current page of the thread rather than on the third page, as I almost missed yesterday's round of questions while looking for the link to the Google form.

We do have a broad fixture calander. We plan to finish each round on Sunday and give you new set of questions latest on Monday with deadline on Tuesday or later if there is no CL that week. Set alarm on Mondey 1 PM and you are pretty much guaranteed to be on time with fresh set of questions.
1PM forum time I guess.

I think that it's much easier for everyone participating in this competition to set up a Telegram notification bot that notifies you when your username is mentioned on the forum. If I'm not mistaken, Trofo and cryptofrka always mention everyone's username in the post with new set of questions.

I have my telegram bot set up on my PC, but for the past few weeks I have been accessing the forum through my phone, which does not have telegram installed, because I was fucking far away from my PC. I understand that this could happen to anyone else as well, but I guess I have to put more efforts on my side and check this thread more frequently. Problem solved.
