Once you've paid the 0.0025 to the above address please PM me with the txid and I will send you a link to join the pool on superbru. You can sign up to superbru here: https://www.superbru.com/tournaments/football/premier-league/

The Premier League starts in a month's time on the 6th of August so you have until then to pay the entry fee but please pay as soon as you can. I may give a week or two grace period to pay if you can't pay by the start of the season but a month should be enough time. You can sign-up to Superbru now and you can always join the pool at a later date and your scores will carry over. If you're unfamiliar with how the tournament works please see the previous thread here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5270461.msg55039640#msg55039640), but basically we will be using the Superbru website which is free and easy to use. You input your score predictions for every game and you get 3 points for predicting the exact score, 1 for the correct outcome (win, lose or draw) and 1.5 for a close prediction. The winner will obviously be the person who gets the most points at the end of the season.

Sportsbet.io are sponsoring the pool again and have put BTC0.2 into the pot along with offering a free $50 bet to every weekly winner who scores the most points that round so that's 38 chances to win a free $50 bet. Big thanks to jeremypwr and Sportsbet for sorting that out. As usual, 100% of the money received will be split between the top ten placed users at the end of the season. The first place jackpot prize will be a guaranteed 0.1BTC and then the rest of the money will be split between 2nd-10th places. If we get 50 users signing up that will be a further 0.125 in the pot so there should be over 0.3 in total. 48 users joined last season so we should be able to get 50+ this year especially as the sponsorship pot has doubled. There will also be a small consolation prize for the person who gets the highest overall weekly round score so even if it becomes clear as the tournament progresses that you're unlikely to win a paid spot you still have a chance of winning something along with the $50 weekly round free bet.

Guess I'll have to budge and join even though we're still on superbru. PM incoming!

If we can find a better site I'd consider changing. It's a shame you can't set your own points system as I think getting the exact score should get you 5 points. That's how it used to be on the old BBC site but they closed it. Other than that Superbru is perfectly fine for me.

Agreed! 5 points for exact score would make a world of difference IMO, as well as make possible comebacks more thrilling but.. It is good otherwise although I may not entirely agree with the "close" scoring system. Just minor complaints though!

Also I know what I just PM'd you but I'll just announce it here now: I've sent 4x payments to the address which means I'm freerolling 3 people who can commit to the full season and try this out - I want to see some new faces! Not sure how the decision process will work but.. Feel free to post your interest in this thread or send me a pm and I'll sort it out with hilariousandco. This means I'd prefer not to freeroll any of the regulars who join in every season anyways :)

Yeah, you should prohibit any of the regulars or anyone who has already said they will play so we can get 50+ users. I'd like to see the pool grow in numbers season to season which they have done so far.

I would like to try this out and take one of the freerolls ticket if that's cool with you, I have never enrolled in any past events, I'm a big fan of the premiere league so I'm really looking forward for this one and see how i can perform.

Let me know if that's cool so i can signup on superbru to get the link.

You got the merits for free-rolling new people. Just wanted to point it out since I quite like Superbru and actually prefer 3 points for correct score way more than 5. If you raise points for correct score you are just giving it all to lady luck. I feel like close scores actually reward knowledge to the maximum and would like to see them rewarded more.

I am in of course for premier league pool. Looking forward to fighting it out with all the usual suspects once again.

In Scotland visiting family until Monday, I will join early next week :)

Certainly joining this competition this time around, let's go team Sportsbet.io  8)

Free entries for:

igehhh
Hamich124D
Gambit2s

I may be inclined to add a few more free entries before we start so if you are on the fence or economically strained (no shaming), just send me a pm or post here :)

Check this thread today and now again posting I am also in for this season, most chances I will send payment before start of season mean on second or third August.

Want to ask one question if someone is not here on this forum and still wants to join is this possible because I have friend and hopefully in next few days I will convey him for this competition even it's not 100%, but I will try my best as he is also too much involved in English soccer.

Thanks alot for the generous entry, Truly appreciate it.

Yes anyone can join as long as they pay the fee. There are a couple of people who don't use this forum that play.

I've been here for three or four seasons, and in the last, I take place in the top 10.
I'm not sure about my participation though, mostly for the reason that it significantly affects my enjoyment of watching PL. For example, I picked Liverpool to win against Southampton, which is to be expected. while for me, it's more fun to see the other way around, Saints to beat scousers.
I guess I will join in at the beginning, but I will need more time for the final decision


5 points for an exact score it's too much. it is a win for the one who really has the most luck, I would say that according to the current method of calculation, some skill of prediction is still expected.
I know that at some point I had the most "close score" results, but still, I was in the middle of the table. 3 points eluded me for a late goal, which did not reflect the course of the match.

Thanks for the freeroll Hhampuz Hope i can do something with it  :D

Nice gesture. Good on you for bringing in those who normally wouldn't join in.
I know igehhh and he very knowledgeable of the league from what was posted on the sportsbetting rev thread last season on the foxes and chelsea.

I will be joining in and will be paying for myself and buwaytress's entry fee for this pool.
Just got to wait a few days until receive those funds to pay (separately of course) and I will post up the tx ids on here or via pm to hilariousandco.

Already received the email invite so I am all set to join in the one and only pool I prefer to participate in for this season.

Thanks go to @hilariousandco, Superbru and Sportsbet.io for hosting this for the forum members once more.

I think we are used to Superbru because in these last couple of years we have only used it,the score and the points I think are fair enough to give everyone joining this pool an equal chance.

Of course I will be part of this one and once I sent you the money,will message you the transaction id.I guess we all have time up to a couple of days before that 6 August which can be a perfect coincidence for me,paying near that day,most probably on 3 August.I may pay earlier though,to see and to do.

Yeah most probably will make two payments of 0.00125 each during such time,that would be the best for me and don't mind paying tx fees as they are extremely cheap now.

Right, when I receive this link from hilariousandco, I'm going to put all my predictions down either today or by the latest on the weekend. Therefore, I shouldn't be donating anything this season. I'll likely adjust them as time goes on, but this is just my contingency just in case I do the usual Welsh thing to do, and forget.

My one objective this season is to not get the wooden spoon, we'll see how well that goes.

EDIT: Well, I'm multiple rounds in. I didn't realise how long this would take :D.

Sorry forgot to say I've paid. Hhampuz the Benevolent!


Thanks for that! I already paid though, so feel free to sponsor someone else in the pool ;)


True story. Former boss, Welsh, said this once at his 60th birthday dinner. He meant to say his name, but said Welsh.

I'm in, as always! Thanks Sportsbet for sponsoring our pool again and for their generous addition to prize pot. Now 1st place prize 0.1 BTC is worth over $2100, I hope hat in the end of season it will be worth at least 2x more :D.

I'm fine with Superbru, but I have nothing against looking for other options. Agree that exact predictions should be rewarded better. I tried to look for similar websites like Superbru, but seems there is barely any good alternatives available.

We should try get Sportsbet to build their own one and integrate it into their site. Maybe they could do a huge jackpot of 1btc or something if they can get enough people interested. Maybe one day the pool will grow to where we have a huge jackpot. Would be great it we could have a large sum for 1st place.

Okay, the prerequisite superbru bashing shouldn't trump the generosity of Sprotsbet.io.  ;D

Thanks Sportsbet, and yes superbru's UI is kinda sucky.  That's all I got.

---

Hhampuz and rdbase have inspired me, so I want to sponsor someone also.  I also want soccer to become more popular in the USA, so I'm going to sponsor a fellow American who wants to join for the first time.  I won't be asking the sponsored individual to prove that he's American, so please only ask me to choose you if are an honest to goodness American citizen living in the USA, and you're a Jr. Member or above.

---

@hilariousandco, I'll send 0.005BTC this evening and follow up with the txid via PM.

I have paid. Nice idea for Sportsbet hosted pool on their site but that would probably exclude a huge number of players, if you notice many Sportsbet supporters actually cannot participate in many promos. I have to ask Steve for special permission otherwise I actually cannot use the site :)

Superbru is not perfect but everyone can easily play there. Like this forum,,,, everyone can use. I think it is important to keep things open for all.

I don't want to sound shameless but i'd be down to take buwaytress' spot if rdbase is cool with it.   :D

Edit: Thanks rdbase, appreciate it.  :)

You got the spot! 8)

Will send payment later on today to the EPL pool payment address and send the tx id via pm to @hilariousandco so he can get all info ralle14 needs so to register on the site also including the invite link.

Good luck to us in the pool!

0.2 BTC from Sportsbet? Daaayum.

If we get 50+ players, the pool will be huge. And I really think that the sponsorship money will make those on the fence really interested.

With 38 50$ freebets to play for as well, this pool is one of the easiest ones to commit money to - and I do hope we will get a lot of new players this year.

I've just messaged everyone who joined last year. Apologies if you've already paid or said you will. Please don't leave it until the last minute to pay as I'd like to try get the prizes sorted out as early as possible so people know what they're playing for.


Just use a proxy. Maybe they could build an external site to rival Superbru.

Basically I'm quite happy with the sponsorship of Sportsbet.io, but after seeing that there are various free bets it makes me a little reluctant to participate. Because I can't access the site, so when I get a Yellow Cap and or other free bet bonuses, what happens is that I can't claim it and that happened in the last round as well. But yes, even so I am still interested in joining because this is an interesting tournament because I have also participated from the early rounds, will pay the entry fee maybe at the end or at the beginning of the month. ;)

Surely i will play this year again.

just sent the entry fees, first time joining

sportsbet username - rohang

one question though.

1)  free $50 bet to every weekly winner who scores the most points that round
2)  small consolation prize for the person who gets the highest overall weekly round score

Are those 2 the same ? or there is 2 different prizes for weekly winner?

Just use a proxy or ask Jeremy if you can get your freebie sent to someone else's account. If it's alright with him if you win a yellow cap he can send the bet to my account and I'll just place whatever bet you want on.


No. One is for the weekly round winner and then the other is for the person who gets the highest weekly score overall at the end of the tournament.

I haven't managed to get any of the top spots in previous seasons though, so I will continue to participate.i think we'll see new faces coming into the pool, maybe 100 players  ;D this season.

@hilariousandco
i sent you tx pm

Good luck for everyone.

ofcourse, i dont know how i misunderstood that. thankyou

I don't think we will get 100 users this year but hopefully in future seasons we will. Would be great to see a huge pot someday. As the pool grows we might be able to get bigger sponsorships as well.

Thank you hilariousandco and also sportsbet for the great contest.
And of course also to jeremypwr who is always involved and brings great things for the community.

I have already paid the entry fee and the TX is on the way via PN. I'm looking forward to a few exciting betting rounds and hopefully I can get a few daily wins.
The overall victory will be difficult but I give my best :P

Want to try a second time wish me luck. I have paid the entry fees and sent you a pm with trx id.

I was participating last year and am considering doing it again this year. After all, I managed to win 2 matchdays last year, even though I wasn't able to win with the free bets something  :D

It's fun & participation is now not expensive and the opponents are really good at the forecasts so if i find the time i will send the fee  :)

I hope this year we can be 75 players.
Im a little bit optimistic? Maybe, but come on BTCtalkers its the main competition of the whole forum we need to make this possible.

Only look at the 0.2 putting by the sponsor that its amazing.

I'm not sure about it, maybe 75 would be a bit too many. Something  about 50 players is optimal number. With more players chances to win something is getting significantly smaller. And then it's likely that many players simply will give up and stop playing.

The nice thing about this pool is that it's not dependent on any specific number of players to be fun.  The more the merrier, of course.  Adding to the pot, and adding more positions that qualify for a prize is always nice.  



75 might be too many to expect, but I wouldn't put any limit on the number of people who want to participate.  If we could get 75 players, I think that would be cool.  If that were to happen I wouldn't mind seeing the prizes awarded to the top 15 participants.  That would 20% which is pretty good odds for all of us to make the cut.



Hey now, I resemble that remark.  I got super busy towards December/January last year and forgot to update my predictions for a couple of weeks.  I wasn't doing too good to begin with, so that was all it took for me to fall to the bottom of the table.  I had a hard time with motivation after that.  I plan to be more proactive this year, even if I don't do well enough for a prize.

I'm in... 8)
Edit...
PM
@hilariousandco I sent you txs, ty.

We shall see how our pool captain will award the prizes. Personally I like there to be many awarded places but with very top heavy distribution. Meaning I would give probably 40% (maybe 0.1BTC should be here somewhere) to the first place, and maybe 90% to top 5. Then let 10 more people double their stakes or something like that. Doesn't matter in the end that much we will all strive to get that coveted no.1 spot no matter how prizes get distributed.

We need ten more sign-ups to get over 0.3BTC in the pool. Please don't leave it last minute to sign up if you can as I'd like to get the prizes sorted out for 2nd-10th places.

If possible please be rest assured that, I'll be joining definitely so you can count me already, I'll just have to pay a bit later, but most definitely at most a day or two before be the league gets started, most of my rl earnings and on forum BTC are currently majorly going towards a post graduate education and some other more personal stuffs for me at the moment, but I'm sure wouldn't be missing out on the the pool.

At the same of Harkorede here, i surely play , but im waiting to pay because im waiting to know if can join any signature campaign, if not i pay directly from other side.

I like you and post graduate education is great! I'll pay for your spot :)

9 more users until 0.3 now. If there's people who've said you'll pay can you state so so I can get a figure of how many more people we need.


You should pay for new users rather than ones who are going to pay.

Hey guys,

was reading up on the thread and found that you can't change the parameters. I do believe it should be possible with this provider. That is what we are going to use for the German Bundesliga prediction game. Checked whether there is an English version of it and this is what I found. Hope this might still be of help!

https://www.kicktipp.co.uk

I am onboard as well, tx-id was sent to @hilariousandco.

Cheers!
MV

I should have some free time to take part in this upcoming season Premier League prediction pool and join in the fun with everyone.

@hilariousandco I sent you a pm link with the txid, thank you very much

We need 7 more people now until we have 0.3 in the pot.


Thanks for the link. I checked it out but I'm not sure where you get to change the points awarded. It seems to mention a standard 2 points for the outcome, 3 for a close and 4 for the correct score and the 'Rule or Nine':


Whilst I think I would prefer something along the lines of 1 point for a correct outcome and 4 or 5 for the exact score the site seems a little basic and laggy. Do you have previous experience using the site?

I played a bit around with the kicktipp.com website and found this:

https://i.imgur.com/uGJVUr3.png
https://i.imgur.com/tvJIPZ4.png
https://i.imgur.com/9wVqsuo.png
https://i.imgur.com/nr3zxpR.png

I guess that is what we are looking for? You can tweak the parameters any way you want, but you can't set the goal difference to zero as it then says "value can't be lower than tendency". I find the interpretation of the table a bit confusing this way, but I guess it pans out to 1 point vs 4 points in any case of success (not 1 point vs 2 points vs 4 points). This way it looks a bit like you could score two points with tendency + goal difference while you are at an automatic disadvantage when you select draw because of the implied goal difference being zero anyway. I am sure that's taken care of. :D

I don't know about the performance though. It doesn't seem to be laggy to me so far, but no real experience with it thus far.

If I may offer my 2 cents here - I really dislike heavy focus on correct scores. It mostly comes down to luck and I hope we won't take a path in which a correct score carries 5x points than the correct outcome.

I hate that shit with passion and I actually feel Superbru has a fair system for it - you also get rewarded for close scores. I'd just make it 1; 2; 3 instead of 1; 1.5; 3.

Fair point, I'd be fine either way. What I put in were just examples to demonstrate that changes would be possible if the community desires to do so.

In my opinion it's the opposite. It's much easier to guess the outcome correctly but very difficult to get the score right and that should be rewarded accordingly. If Liverpool or City are playing then you can safely assume that they're likely to win. That's no surprise. However, there's much more skill or knowledge involved in getting the exact score right and that should be reflected in the points. Superbru's scoring leads to a table that is far too close for me, especially when you get half a point for a close score. If I was going to score my own I would probably do 1 point for a correct outcome and 4 for the score. I believe this is what the BBC Predictor scored (though they gave 100 and 400 points).

Maybe we can do a test run of the other site and get a handful of users to join into both pools and we can see how the tables differ or which site we prefer.


Thanks. I will try it later.

Im with you, its so much x5 in exact score, doesnt make sense. Exact Score its pure luck.

Lets take an example.

Player A:                                      PLAYER B:

TEAM A - TEAM B    (2:1)              TEAM A - TEAM B   (2:5)
TEAM C - TEAM D    (3:1)              TEAM C - TEAM D   (2:1)
TEAM E - TEAM F     (1:1)              TEAM E - TEAM F    (7:2)
TEAM G - TEAM H    (3:0)              TEAM G - TEAM H    (4:0)
Correct results:
Match 1 : TEAM A BEATS 1:0
Match 2 : TEAM C BEATS 4:0
Match 3 : Draw 2-2.
Match 4 : TEAM G BEATS 4:0.


So in this example we can clearly see one player knows about football (player A) he put a totally nearby results as you can see, but with the new rules he still lose agains player B who puts a totally no sense results and only win because in one match and for pure luck he put a 4-0.
As you can see Player A make a good analysis also, because he put a clearly win  to team G.
So i think its completly unfair give so much point for exact score.

Yes i know, if we give 3 points for nearby score, Player A can win in this example, but he doesnt make a huge gap against a player who play like a troll. And with only one exact score he can catch a "good player".

For me, close scores should be more relevant. Agreed on the 'City will win' argument, but it really matters whether you put 2-1 or 4-0. If it ends 5-1, means that the 1st player was wide off the mark, and the 2nd one was close.

I like the example from darxiaomi - shows just how powerful luck can be.

I'm not saying 'ditch correct score bonus' though - I'd just like if it was smaller. 1 point for guessing the outcome, 2 for close result and 2,5 for correct one would be perfect IMO.

8 more users now for 0.3.


I don't understand why you think being close matters but not being exact. If you think being close matters and should get you extra points then getting the exact score should get you even more. Being close is just luck too. Predicting the correct score is relatively difficult and that should be reflected/rewarded in the points. It doesn't have be 5 but BBC's predictor of 1 and 4 was much better and actually had some diversity in the table.


That's even worse than Superbru and the table would be even closer. It's far too close already and there's only mere points between winners, often only being ten or twenty points halfway down the table. This is a correct score predictor after all.

More points for exact score = more skill involved. I see a lot of you claim that it becomes all about luck but I'd argue it's the exact opposite.

If the table is close you can sort of "abuse" the fact that close results/results give by just doing 1-0, 0-1, 0-0 down the stretch of any season = boring.

I never tried BBC's predictor but 1/4 sounds fantastic!

No, I said that 'exact' should reward the most points. Anything else would be plain stupid.
What I did say is that I feel that if the result is 1-0, the difference in points between 2-1 and 5-0 should be equal or bigger than between 1-0 and 2-1.


How would that work? What if the game ends 3-0?
What I'm saying here again is that a guy who said it will be 3-0 should get the most points, but in comparison a 4-0 guess is much closer than a 2-1.

____________________

Anyway - we all have our opinions and it's perfectly fine. I will play anyway - I'm just talking about preferences.

And if you want logic behind why we feel that correct results are pure luck, just check this example:

I think we never come to a arrangement because we have a diferents points of view and this its ok its part of the life.

They think its more skill and us think its more luck.

I think we have one good argument in us side, if you see the odds are much higher for exact result if you bet, and that its because you have  less in control , in other words you depend more in luck.

As i said that i also said you have a good point in this.

I see that tactic in some users, but in the PL doesnt fit so good, because we have a ton of goals, but i give to you a point.

As i said before all can have arguments in favour or against. Its a difficult one.  :D

5 more people for 0.3 in the pot now. Just over two weeks until the start so please get the fee in ASAP so I can work out the prizes in advance.


Yeah, I don't buy the luck excuse. It's all luck and educated guesses at the end of the day. BBC one doesn't exist any more. We used it for the very first predictor but they closed it down after the season finished. This was the final table:

https://i.imgur.com/5wyHFcQ.jpg

I just remembered I think Skybet's SuperSix is also 40 points for the correct score and 10 for the correct outcome. That would probably be the best system for me. I agree that maybe 5 is a bit too much but there really should be a premium for an exact score. Maybe Superbru should offer the chance to change the scoring on the premium version. Anyway, we've probably exhausted the discussion and I wouldn't change from Superbru unless there was a site that was as good anyway.

Let's make my hand dirty with this shit again.
I was in a fence and not considering to join the pool as I do not give 100% commitment for it. Last season I missed few weeks but still managed to get 11th spot. Not sure if I will be able to continue with all rounds but who cares. It's the prestige and fun that counts. Add me to the list hilariousandco. I will send the payment before the season starts.

Liverpool to win the season title this year?

I'm sure those missed weeks last season would have sure got you some points regardless of how little it could have mattered.

So, why not put in your picks for the entire season all at once maybe over the next few days, I think they'd even be carried over automatically when you join the pool so it doesn't matter if put them in before or after joining the pool, then you can adjust the picks as you deem fit as the season progresses.


Guardiola is still in charge at Man City you reckon ?  :P

We need just two more people for 0.3+ in the pot now. I know there's a handful of people that said they would pay so we should have much more than that by the start of the season but please pay ASAP if you can so I can sort the prize places out as. We're still about ten people away from 50 users though as well and I'd really like to get 50 players at least so we've grown the pool every year so so far.

Is there a list somewhere of the users who have joined the pool? And a list saying who has already paid and who is yet to do it?

We now have 40 users signed up and a pot of 0.3. Lets aim for at least another ten to get it to 50 people. I will probably set the prizes based on 50 users as I think we should get that as a handful of people have said they will pay.


No. I will compile one today. If people can let me know if they plan to join that would be great.

^^
Good to hear this @hilariousandco that we are near to that 50 player mark in the pool.

I could pay for 2 more new members to only for this pool who has not joined in yet.

Post your requests and I will send the entry fee and post the tx id to you via pm well before the deadline for these payments.

Because now is crunch time with only 12 more days left until the first match starts!

Nice one. You should consider only paying for new users or ones that haven't said they will pay already so we can max out users. This will likely be the payouts as it stands at 40 players but I'd like to beef out the lower places a bit:

0.1
0.05
0.04
0.03
0.02
0.015
0.014
0.013
0.012
0.011

= 0.305

Or maybe we could add another one or two consolation prizes for 11th and 12th or something where you just win your money back since this will likely be the biggest pool participation we've had so far.

When is last day for register? 

Well the league starts on the 6th so by then.

can i get it?

It's for new pool players only. Trying to get people who haven't played before.

I thought I can get it because I haven't paid yet

Are these spots still open ? would love to get one and try out this premier league pool.

Hello hilarious

Just paid and sent you the transaction ID via PM,I won a bit in gambling today so I decided to pay in full and not as I predicted in two chunks of 0.00125 payments.Can't wait for the Premier League new season to start early into August and it looked good to have like near 0.31 Bitcoin as the total prize pool.That would make sure a lot of other people join this pool,paying 0.0025 for a good chunk of that 0.31 is only natural to my way of thinking.

Hi rdbase, appreciate the effort in onboarding more players for the competition to make it more fun, and If these spots aren't filled yet, will be happy to be among the 2 if you haven't picked any players yet   8)

Hi Hilariousandco, please check your PM. I already sent my Sign-Up fee and this is my first time joining this pool ;D let's go!

45 users now (or people have paid for 45 places at least).


It says for new members. Paying for people who have already played previous years isn't going to grow the pool. As much as I appreciate people paying for extra slots I'm starting to think we should just consider the extra payments as donations to the pot to beef out the lower places because we've already had two blatant alts trying to claim both places and it's hard to choose who should get them.

Bitches I am in! 😘

It's very sad to read that members are using alt-accounts to try to take advantage of the generosity of other members... Those guys are not ashamed?
Anyway the number of participants seems to be still growing, so personally I think few "consolation prizes" would be more than welcome.

Some people are just cheap/greedy. I will probably add another place or two if we get 50 users and then 55. We're still at 45 right now so should be able to hit 50 and maybe even 55 before the league starts.

As i said before im going to compete only i have a big delay for the payment. Untill the deadline.

Ok.

Here's a list of people who have said they will pay so we can keep track:

If there's anyone else just let me know. There's 10 days until the league starts but I'll give people a couple of weeks for late payment. If you sign up to superbru now or anytime before it starts you can put in your scores and they will carry over to our pool once you join it.

Just a reminder:

A week left to go now. Still at 45 people so lets get to 50 at least.

7. More. Days

47 people have signed up now. Let's get to 50 and we can start adding more prize places (11th place onwards).

Users who still need to pay:

Hi there.

I'd also like to join the pool.  :)   I'm going to make the payment for the entry fee within next week. It is my first time being here so I hope that we have a wonderful competition.  ;D

Would love to sign up! If any1 can sponsor me would be awesome! I'll try to get to pay it though!
*Saved*

We're actually doing away with these little "random sponsorships" but if you want to join, there's still some time and we'd love to have ya!

Cool. Just PM once you've paid.


I don't think I'm going to probit them outright as I do appreciate people adding to the pot and it's not like it's something I could police anyway as people can just organise it behind the scenes, but I don't think people should be paying for existing users or players that have already played/paid before. Don't pay for random newbie accounts either. I'm not sure how you could do it fairly or avoid paying for alt accounts though as offering things like this will always bring out the greedy or cheap. If you want to pay for a friend or someone you like fair enough, but lets just keep in mind the growth of the pool as paying for previous users is just going to stall it rather than grow it.

Long time lurker on the forum, since I only use this forum as a marketplace, but I'm active on Sportsbet chat!

I'll try to be able to pay before Premier league begins!

Viperious

I will join this year.

Here's probably how the prizes will be so far:

1st 0.1 (£1,905)
2nd 0.05
3rd 0.04
4th 0.03
5th 0.02
6th 0.015
7th 0.014
8th 0.013
9th 0.012
10th 0.011
11th 0.01
12th 0.0025
13th 0.0025 (£47.60)

= 0.32

For everyone else that joins now I'll probably just add another place each so the more people that join the more prizes there will be and at least you have a shot at winning your money back.


Ok. Just PM me once you've paid.

Should I be able to sign a message from the sending address or can I send the payment directly from an exchange?

50 people have now paid.


Any address is fine.

How do I join the pool? do I still need to get the txid from rdbase and forward it to you via pm? since he's the one who paid for my spot.

I don't think anyone is in the pool yet, and my guess he's planning to send all the invites out at once, everyone just to make their picks on superbru, the predictions will be carried over into the pool.

Thanks for the clarification. I panicked a bit since we have only a few days left and assumed everyone was already in the pool.  ;D

@Harkorede
@ralle14

Check your PMs; we already have 38 people who have joined the pool (50 have paid).

51 people signed up now. Two more have promised to pay, but let's try to get it to 55 users so we can have some more payout places.


I usually send the link when someone paid but I missed a couple as messages get buried fast. If anyone has paid and doesn't have a link just PM me. As long as your predictions are in they will carry over once you join the pool even after it's started.

Hi,

I am keen to join but need to wait 48 hours for coinbase to whitelist the address! I just did this now, so hopefully I will still have time to join before the first game round if I send roughly this time on friday?

Sure. You can sign up to superbru and put your scores in now if you want and once you've paid and joined the pool the scores will carry over.

Ok great thanks, I have just signed up and submitted my scores  :)

I am in!  :)

I am trying to get familiar with superbru tonight and will be sending the BTC tomorrow morning once I can access my wallet. Thanks in advance!

We've got 55 people signed up and paid now so I updated the payouts:

1 0.1
2 0.05
3 0.04
4 0.03
5 0.02
6 0.015
7 0.014
8 0.013
9 0.012
10 0.011
11 0.01
12 0.005
13 0.005
14 0.005
15 0.005

Any additional players will add another place each at 0.0025 up to 20 max and/or maybe I will do a consolation prize for the highest overall yellow cap.

i would like to join as well, i just signed up on Superbru as elche and i submitted the scores for gw1.
i will be sending the entry fee within the next few days.
so excited for the PL starting tomorrow.
enjoy everyone!

Coming in for Slot #56, let's do this !

Pm with txid sent  8)

The first game is tonight so don't forget about that. If anyone is thinking of playing but can't pay yet I will give people a week or two to pay. You can sign up to Superbru and put in your picks now and they will carry on over once you join the pool.

We've got 58 people signed up now. Updated the payouts:

1 0.1
2 0.05
3 0.04
4 0.03
5 0.02
6 0.015
7 0.014
8 0.013
9 0.012
10 0.011
11 0.01
12 0.005
13 0.005
14 0.005
15 0.005
16 0.0025
17 0.0025
18 0.0025

Lets try to get 60 so we can have top 20. A couple of people have said they will pay so we should hit that. Any additional places will now just go towards a prize for the highest overall yellow cap (the highest weekly round score for those who haven't played before).

Hi,

PM with TX ID sent, looking forward to getting involved!

Until when can I register now and pay the fee in 1 or 2 weeks?

Sure. Just sign up to Superbru and put your scores in now. Once you've paid you can join the pool and your scores will carry over.

Can I pay next week? I can withdraw from Coinbase but it takes 1 week

Sure. But don't you have another address already whitelisted? Just send to that and then onto the pool address. Either way, just sign up to Superbru and make sure your pics are in and you can join the pool later.

Hey there just discovered I still have some LTC lying around, could I send you with LTC?

Why Superbru apps always crashing and lagging on my phone  :-\

It usually does when the games have concluded and about ~20-30 minutes thereafter. Check in after an hour or two and you will usually never have issues, it's just that everyone wants to check their scores after the games are done and it kills the servers (I imagine).

I see. I try to check it from Superbru website, it works smoothly and better than their apps

If anyone wants to play there's still time. If you have your scores in on Superbru they will carry over to the pool once you join, but if you haven't Superbru gives a certain number of 'default' picks for those who miss games. Currently you will have 5 points automatically which doesn't seem like a lot but it's only three less than what I got this round  ;D.

Here are the final payouts:


1 0.1 (£1910)
2 0.05 (£955)
3 0.04 (£764)
4 0.03 (£572)
5 0.02 (£381)
6 0.015 (£286)
7 0.014 (£267)
8 0.013 (£248)
9 0.012 (£229)
10 0.011 (£210)
11 0.01 (£190)
12 0.005 (£95)
13 0.005
14 0.005
15 0.005
16 0.0025 (£47)
17 0.0025
18 0.0025
19 0.0025
20 0.0025

Any additional money will go to the highest overall weekly scorer at the end of the season so there's still something to play for right till the end.

Will pay in 3 days! Promise haha excited to join. Have 10 points atm!

Still time to join:



Just PM me when you do.

Bump. Still time to join but will not accept new users after this month ends. Just make sure your picks are in on Superbru and you can join up until the end of the month.

Your boy LFC_Bitcoin exploded onto the scene yesterday with a match day 2 leading (so far) 14 points. It’s funny how close the pool leaderboard is so early in the season. I rose 43 places in the table :D

3 more games to complete match week 2.

It is really unbelievable to predict the scores of both matches today. You have reached 21 points and there is still one more match to be played. Congrats for the yellow cap and for an amazing week.

Last game of the round is my beloved LFC vs C Palace. I leave home in about 2 hours to get to the stadium. Think I predicted 3-0 LFC. We need to win after a bad result vs Fulham in the opening game. Our season starts tonight.

What a great week! Liverpool and Man United result really blown my mind lol

Not a great week for a Liverpool fan :D
I will take my yellow cap & a free bet as a nice consolation.

Cheers boys.

Who could have predicted 6-3 in the city united game.. !! Haaland is a beast !!
