In general, this is IMO, all the cups no matter England or Spain or Italy wherever, if you don't have a very big squad in the top division, you won't be sending your best team down to play, just reserves. Whereas the smaller team sees the cup as more important, so send their best team.

So I was expecting 1 or 2 draws, what happened was even better


Coco and Sabalenka were strongest in the same side to the final. I was 99% sure one of them would be the finalist. So my strategy was to pick 2 people on the same side to ensure I get 1 right in the final. Now I see my only hope is Sabalenka loses to get a draw.

Coco was still active I saw the questions saved all my answers in the form and when I submitted I just looked at the draw, she had not played yet. In fact she played Sunday your time I guess, but it was Monday early morning for me. And I think the reason I didn't see it was the draw didn't update yet, now I'm looking at the time, it makes sense.

You're probably one of few people to score points on this question. From what I've seen, most people have tipped Sabalenka against Świątek.

But congratulations to Pegula, very strong performance and also very surprising, would definitely have been a good betting odds, but unfortunately not bet on this game, and also not at BSFL.

It looks like I will finally earn a point in women tennis. My oponent (Ulven) has Swiatek to reach the final and I have Pegula. Swiatek lost her match against Pegula tonight so now I just need Pegula to win her semi-final game against Muchova. They played in Cincinnati and Pegula won 2-1. I hope she can repeat that score and give me a point. We have seven different answers in total so that point won't mean much, but it would be nice to win it.

Fair offer, I accept - thanks.
Just to state the obvious, if I at some point stop rebuying for LMS, of course we keep counting my answers as well

That is irrelevant though, I'm winning LMS anyway.

The lineup is usually announced around 1 hour before the match starts, but Netherlands squad (the list of 23 players) for the matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Germany has been already announced and Depay was not included.

I understand you perfectly, this week I had to submit while driving on subway on the way to big exhibition. 7 minute drive in total and only time I knew I had that will be before deadline. I spent it answering BSFL instead of preparing for the first meeting.

That is why we have that long window before deadline so you can plan accordingly. It isn't easy but we must have the rules we have in order to stop any attempts at manipulation. Same goes for LMS this round. We discussed it and you are officially out. From our interactions in the past we believe you are stand up guy and we wouldn't have problem bending the rules for you if there wasn't that pesky precedent thing to think about. If we allow it once we have to allow it in the future and I can guarantee 100% someone would come along and use that in his advantage.

We are adding the rules all the time and trying to make competition as fair and good as possible. We are also always trying to help people but that usually works only before the deadline. We didn't add it to the rules but we mentioned several time that if someone has something that will stop him from submitting he can let us know in advance and we will try to postpone games. When I say something I am thinking about heart surgery not taking a trip to see relatives Also I have already paid LMS buyback for one person here in the forum since he couldn't do it by himself. Key thing is always that we are only able to accommodate players to the point where it isn't breaking the rules. For instance if you told me or cryptofrka beforehand, I am travelling and will not be online is there some way to take care of LMS buyback if I need it, we would have paid it up for you or gave you an extension.

In the end, not feeling sorry for you Had to pay way to much free bets to you already and I have no doubt you will kick my ass again this season

It's not easy to answer on Tuesday when I'm sitting on an 11-hour plane on my way to Bangkok one of my favorite cities😁
But it's no one else's fault but my own. I had whole Sunday and Monday to fix it but I messed it up without knowing how 😁 I accept that I am out of the LMS tournament. New chances will come 😁


I thank you for this offer but since I felt that I lost now, but got another chance I will give you 3 mbtc if you win and if I win then it's still 2 mbtc😁


Damn! I don't like being under😂 I took a chance on France btts yes and over 2.5 goal, so I can hope for a 2-1 win where mbappe scores at least 1 goal. Good news for me if depay doesn't play😁
I trust Spain but I'm not sure about Portugal. They play against Croatia so it will be a difficult game.

By the way good luck in this round @russeras.    I'm your opponent and my target is nothing other than a win of course. I want to get my 3rd win of the season and keep my competitiveness for top 3.

I see that we have many different answers to the questions. This makes our duel more interesting. I would like to have a Formula 1 event this week but unfortunately... I would love to turn it into my advantage normally.  

We have many Nations League games instead. This is the most boring football competition to me honestly. Because it feels like a friendly competition.    But I hope I can predict the related questions correctly.

Oh ouch, was that list out before the submission deadline I was looking for a good source to see whether line-ups have been announced already, but couldn't really find one. Or did you go for a standard google search? I did and I searched for Depay and Nations League and couldn't actually find a negative, so I concluded he would be in the line-up. That's literally a penalty for Slissy then, nothing to lose But the way Mbappe has performed for Real Madrid so far, I am not too concerned he is going to score.

I will talk this out with Trofo, I'm still leaning towards not allowing it.
What might happen is that somebody initially sees 25 players playing, decides he doesn't want to participate, then all of a sudden a round when 15 people drop out happens.

That guy now wants back in, and it is cheap for him to do that.

I'm aware that you are asking to let you back in after only 1 game has been played at a heavy cost as well, so maybe we can find a solution for these situations. After all, we want to put more money into the prize pot and this would put you under a decent disadvantage to be considered.

Regarding un_rank, both him and Hhampuz said they will play but asked for some time to process the payment. Hhampuz did it on time, un_rank as well because the deadline I gave them in the thread was Thursday EOD.
We want to help people in such situations, as long as we know they want back in we will try to accomodate these requests.
We tagged you here and I even asked Trofo to reach out on Telegram because I knew you'd want back in, any confirmation from your side would have been accepted - but now this puts us in a tricky situation and creates a precedent that will be biting us in the ass later on.

Let me speak with Trofo and we'll let you know tomorrow morning.


As far as I know, Depay wasn't on the list of players that were called up for the games.

But wait where did you get Coco Gauff from ?

Coco Gauff played on Sunday, and I believe her match har started even before the question was posted, so technically if you didn’t submit on Sunday, then she sure has been eliminated even before you answered the questions.

Pretty fair offer for Slissy!

@Slissy the first point for me was pretty key for the rest of our duel. I have checked how I can hedge the remaining questions where our answers differ and there are pretty amazing opportunities. So whatever happens, I am not gonna lose Since you took the France and Italy BTTS + Mbappe is the only striker that differs for questions 6, there are lots of great ways to place a hedge and I could also include the two Nations League games Portugal - Croatia and Serbia - Spain. Could also use the BetBuilder on Sportsbet.

You would have to get everything correct in order to win the round. It is about Mbappe vs. Depay, but I feel like Mbappe will have a harder time scoring against Italy than Depay against Bosnia as it is also a home game.

Anyway, I feel the pain that you forgot to rebuy, but at least you managed to submit your answers on time despite having beer while traveling! Enjoy the journey though and good luck for our round.

I agree that a deadline is a deadline and that everyone must comply with it.

If I or someone else would buy a rebuy in this round after the deadline, we would of course get 0 points this round. But we are not out of LMS. Then we also have to pay rebuy for the next round. There will be no benefits if people change their mind and want to rebuy. There will only be more money in the pot😁

By the way, why can un_rank pay almost 24 hours after the deadline? Shouldn't we follow the deadline? It should be the same for everyone..

Yup. 17 of us remaining.


Hey man, sorry that it happened. What we're talking about isn't in the rules but was discussed a bit:


We really can't allow for a change in rules here. We receive a lot of 'I was just 7 minutes late to the deadline', requests, and unfortunately we have to follow the rules to the letter - otherwise we risk it going out of control real fast.

Some examples - if we allow you to rebuy now, at a later point someone might see that nobody got the 3 questions correct and say 'ah, let me try now again, I like my remaining answers better'.

What I can and will offer to you is that you continue playing LMS, but only against me for our sidebet. You're out of the regular one unfortunately.

Thank you for the indirect reminder. Re-buy fee already sent. I jut now checked the table after a while and it does not help that I am rock bottom, I need some luck this round and in the subsequent rounds to not get eliminated again, which will surely be the KO punch with the bump in rebuy fee.

WTF? Do we have a pleasure of speaking with AI?

This is private discussion thread for BSFL participants. While we don't mind occasional posts from those that aren't participants we appreciate them much more when they actually add some value to the thread.

I don't think rebuy rules need to be changed. It is working very well, I agree. A proper Last Man Standing should see many people fall, and that's exactly how it's worked so far. Even feel any extension is unnecessary, the whole point of rebuy risk is not to be able to gain an edge before paying up, but still nice to pull in a few more rebuys.

Is the LMS table updated? I mean, with all rebuys reflected? If so, just 17 of us left (assuming un_rank pays). Also the same number of people who got last night's treacherous question right.


Guy, you couldn't have found a better round to give the mafia free points. Especially after thrashing them before as Trofo reminds. You do know once you do them a favour, it never ends, yeah? Croatia Nostra never forgets.

I had absolutely no idea about this competition and was therefore hoping for one or two draws, and I was amazed myself today that there were so many draws yesterday (and i also grab my first point this week), but last week I also won the first round and I was very weak in all the others. The week is still a long one and there could still be a lot of surprises, as there were so many different sports to choose from this week.

Man I hate myself so much. I always say No to Cori Gauff when I see her in the picks, and usually I'm totally right. I have no idea what I was thinking of putting her in the final. Worse, I had a chance to use VAR but missed that she lost.

On the bright side, I got 1 point from EFP Trophy question. Seems like it was destiny in EFL Trophy to get a lot of upsets

Damn man, I still remember when you trashed me with result like 8:1 or something like that couple of seasons ago and then you give cryptofrka a free pass.

@Slissy you too, damn, you always take me for the free bets and then you just forget when you have it with cryptofrka. I think I will start making bets trough him seems like you guys are less inclined to take him down than me
