I can confirm Trofo and cryptofrka are very busy with work behind the scenes, think it is what one might say a natural fit with the way Steve and SB guys work. Really fun, really creative and pushing boundaries.

Personally like the way this format is working out, especially with a sort of static forum coding, I think best of all for me is seeing new blood.

@slackovic pool! Next season!

So it's not a business trip. It's a trip for pleasure (sorry, I don't know how to say "pijanka" in English Grin ). That's OK. I guess you are doing your job right when you get invited in those kind of trips Smiley

You would think that at first, yeah Grin

There's actually a lot happening during the meetup, although you can't really call it work.
A bunch of the Sportsbet's guys are here, so we discussed betting markets, strategies, areas to improve, general crypto ideas and so on.

Their team and management is really progressive, and also fun to be around. So when it looks that we're getting hammered and are tossing chips around, it's basically just a modern version of a business meeting Grin

_____________________

Regarding the competition - just a reminder to people to send their bet ID's through PM. We have added the Round 2 questions to the spreadsheet so you can track your progress.

So far you crushed both questions, we thought there might be a lot of wrong answers here so congrats for that!

2 players still haven't submitted, you still have time but have already lost 2 points.

Brazil's match was against Serbia in the FIFA World Cup 2022.  But after 67 minutes, Neymar, the youngest and striker of the Brazilian team, was injured.  It was not yet understood how much pain Neymar had in his ankle.  But when he left the field before the end of the match, he could not walk properly.  His ankle is very swollen.  But the Brazilian team suffered the most as it is not yet known exactly how long his injury will last.  If Neymar can't play as a striker in the Brazil team, then Brazil has the highest chance of being knocked out of the FIFA World Cup 2022.

No, no it is a business trip, you make connections and then it is much easier to work with those people later on. And we talk business often, it is just good idea to reiterate important points in the morning to check if all parties remember everything from initial conversations Smiley

This isn't the pool man Smiley But don't worry I will stronarm you in at least one pool next season. This is something completely new and nobody played or hosted it before, so we are all still finding out feet a little. Your answers should be on same link in other sheet that was made private so you can't see the answers before the deadline. I will make cryptofrka take care of that asap Smiley

Haha. OK, now everyone knows that I'm a newbie in the Gambling section Grin

And to say a few wards about that trip.

We are actually in Tivat, Montenegro with Steve from Sportsbet.io and bunch of other guys from Sporsbet. Watching all the games, eating good food and drinking way to much to properly talk business but we manage in those rare sober moments during morning coffee Smiley We even found some time to play poker in the nights as well but you can imagine that our forum time is suffering a lot.

Thanks! As this is the first time that I'm a part of any pool in the forum, I'd say that I had beginner's luck in the first round. I also gave my answers for the second round without much research so I don't know how it will go. I wanted to check my answers but I can't find the link to the spreadsheet. I guess we'll have to wait for the guys to come back from their business trip to provide us the link.

Slackovic, for sure have to hand it to you... but I feel all right in second place, and surprisingly, the tables almost look "real" from what I'd expect.

MD2 quiz seems trickier, but let's see! I entered all picks without research as it was quite tight for me yesterday Wink

Senegal was a sure thing, but in a day with many more surer things, England and Netherlands managed to miss expectations. Didn't get to see very much of the games, or watch them properly, but 0-0 and 1-1 probably just about tells the story of what the matches were.

As for the yesterday's results, it was quite surprising that Netherlands and England couldn't win their matches. USA played really well and it looked to me they are closer to winning that England. I didn't get to watch the game between Netherlands and Ecuador.

Catastrophic predictions for me today with World Cup matches Sad
I got only Senegal to win correct, but I really didn't expect to see Netherland and England both drawing their matches.
Iran is not going to be easy nut to break for team USA, and we know it's more than sports in this match, so best bet could be many yellow cards.

Brazil was the top most team in the league. Their game was always special as compared to the other team. They always made the first half goal as compared to other nations. It was their signature game as compared to other team. Iran going to make their best on the upcoming match Vs Wales. Walves game was good, put their game need to improve against the Iran. But it’s not an impossible to them on tomorrow match. Iran had a good game as compared to the Walves. The first offensive team will win most of the season.

That's definitely the best goal of the first of round and the tournament so far, and it to be honest it's not even close.

Very solid points but for the best goal in the first round, I'll go with Asano's goal with that an impossible angle against Neuer as one of the best goalkeepers in current generation.




Those that did not, please just drop me your ID number and your username in PM and send it just to me so that Trofo does not kill me Grin

You guys doing a great work. My ID and username pmed.

tough competition in first round, group C is a death group obviously, all with same score
looking at stats, 7 is maximum (kudos to slackovic), 1 is minimum

on to next round, Wales kept the ball, and Iran scored goals, brought my parlay down

Hey fellas, sorry about the f**kup. The last few days have really been hectic.

Trofo already replied yesterday and I checked the spreadsheets just now, some of you helped a lot with submitting the usernames next to your bet ID.

Those that did not, please just drop me your ID number and your username in PM and send it just to me so that Trofo does not kill me Grin

There is half an hour left to go and 5 people still did not submit answers. Hopefully you make it guys.

Points have been checked, we will probably send the groups leaderboards as text around noon and then make nicer graphics once we get back home (Sunday).

_____________

Regarding the Brazil question - it was posted before we could watch the actual game. It surprised us, because they played with 4 offensive players - they don't do that often.
If they start with 4 again in their next game, we will accept any 3 picks that will be correct.

That question would have been modified a bit ofc - but things like these are bound to happen when we have to put questions in advance so I hope you guys don't mind.

Cheers and enjoy the 2nd round!

Fortunate or not , that 2nd goal of Richarlison was the only one I caught live yesterday but I was left without words and without movement when I saw that beauty! What a masterpiece!

Today I have a feeling that Iran might score against Wales ...they've played good 2nd half against England so I do expect at least 1 goal from them. Grin

It's already a wrap for those 5 users who predicted Spain to score the most goals, as I don't see Brazil scoring more than 7. I've been fighting my spirit for changing my first response (England) to Belgium, but I'm at peace now since Spain dropped us that classic performance yesterday, this dudds are running riot and all eyes must be on them.

Yeah, yet another reminder of the failings of Argentina... think those who picked England would be kicking themselves but hey, credit to Spain, I did not see that coming. Worse, I didn't even watch that game...

Will we send the answer to the questions without providing our username? I noticed that you did not check the boxes for it!!!

It did ask for our Google accounts though, so they should have been able to tie that to our previous submissions Wink I didn't even realise this but I don't mind sharing my bet in PM again!

What a pleasure its always see Brasil playing their football, its something like no other country have, that dance, that speed, that flow to play its only of  Brasil, and i say this being from Argentina.

They dance, they dont play football.

And yes what a GOLAZO by Richarlison in that second one, another thing about Brasil its, they are playing with a lot of forwards.

I dont know who can end second in that group, i choose Serbia, but..... its gonna be a tought one.

100% agreed my man. I had my doubts about Richarlison, but his goal has lit up the tournament. Sure, Spain did their job too but this was how you encapsulated everything about Brasil in one move. The only thing I felt missing was some kind of dance celebration, but I guess we needed Neymar to score to see that!

Sorry about that guys, we were traveling whole day and didn't have opportunity to check stuff before. Our mistake.

Placing your username next to ID should work fine and for those that did not do that we will find a way to do. It is now 3 AM and we drove for more than 10 hours straight so we will take care of it tomorrow with clear head.

Just make sure to submit answers to questions and we will find a way to take care of the rest. If you did not submit already place username along with your bet id. Can't hurt  Wink

Got that, you guys should your take time, thanks.

I just submitted my picks and placed my username right before the betslip id.

@Trofo @Cryptofrka I also didn't find the textbox to enter my Username, I'll wait for a few hours more before submitting my picks incase that wasn't intentional, or putting in my "btt username:" just along the "betslip id:", in the textbox provided for Betslip ID.
