Oh my god the Garages recruited a loving T-1000 out of the shadows, Goodwin Morin is a 5-star pitcher who also has 5.5 stars in batting, 7(!!) in baserunning, and 6 in defense

e: aw man, look like some more break time is coming

https://twitter.com/thegameband/status/1318277686561710080

e again: gotta love the Tacos and Flowers showing solidarity by going into extra innings tied 9-9, ensuring a win for both teams

e a third time: also gotta love the Steaks getting two sun-wins in one game, and then still winning the game on top of that!

I dislike the new weathers, it makes it feel impossible to know how to bet. Nothing seems to work consistently at all. I can deal with modifiers not being reflected in ratings but not having to consider score resets if you do too good.

idk, I'm still making money and I haven't changed my betting strategy (max betting on every team above 60% odds).

Max bet every favorite.

If percentages are calculated correctly, you will always win more often than you lose. (That's what being a favorite means, after all.) Will you see *~MAXIMUM RETURNS~*? Nah, probably not. But unless you're terminally online and considering every single matchup, the only good heuristic is whatever makes you more than what you had before.

Honestly, you know what the biggest obvious moneymaker for me is? Maxed strikeouts pendant and idol hopping.

I used to max bet everything above 60%, and for 59% I would bet 900, for 58% 800, etc. Eventually I got bored of doing this and just max bet >60% matches.

Wild Low is such peak calvinball. Here are the standings based on actual wins.


And here are the standings based on the effects of Sun 2 and the black hole


The Tacos in particular have been going nuts, per final scores they have only scored 92 runs. Based on player stats they have scored 215 in only 22 games.

I still max bet every favorite but gambling does feel more random now with black holes, 3-ball walks, hitters who flinch... Like, small sample size, but Nagomi McDaniel isn't the same since they started Flinching

According to Stats Discord, the Tacos are scoring 9(!) runs per game and are on pace to break the single season scoring record set by the Season 3 Tigers. They are hilarious to watch because they are always sunning or black holing teams, but give up a million runs too because their pitching sucks. The offense is just so good it doesn't matter.

Wild Low is a shootout because the pitchers are almost all bad and three ball walks put a lot of people on base so teams are just sunholing left and right it's pandemonium out there

They've said that Season 11 is a kind of epilogue to the first true era of Blaseball, so I'm not sure if I should get used to the Black Holes and Suns or not.

also seems like the Lift have lost at least 8 wins at this time, which sucks.

They should have a good party time period to help bulk them up some, though.

if i had to guess, they'll go in as part of the regular rotation with the rest of the weathers. seems weird to vote on a decree for weather that only gets used once.

Son of a bitch. I figured this would happen eventually and refused to switch my team away from the Crabs, but I didn't get any winnings from this and it looks like the game finally removed the Crabs from my profile.

Oh god, the Tacos are at 7 runs after 4 innings, and if they reach 10 in black hole weather they might bump themselves out of the playoffs! They're playing the Firefighters, who have the same number of wins but also hold the divine favour tiebreaker. And the Spies are just one win behind them and also have the tiebreaker.

lmao at everyone in the discord pleading with their respective teams to stop scoring
