Please note Local rule: This thread is only for those who have paid to play in the pool. Anyone posting in here who hasn't paid will have their posts removed.
For the past few years I've organised betting pools for the
English Premier League along with the
Champions League and
World Cup, and now it's time for the 2020/21 Premier League pool which will kick off on the 12th of September. This year's pool is sponsored by Sportsbet.io and they've generously donated 0.15 into the pot along with some other great prizes (see details of below), so thanks to both jeremypwr and Sportsbet for that.
We will again be using the
www.superbru.com website for predictions where you get 3 points for predicting an exact score, 1 point for a correct outcome (win/lose/draw) and 1.5 for a close prediction with correct outcome. Superbru is a free and easy to use site taking only a minute or two to register. You can change your scores right up until kick-off and you can even put your predictions in advance even for the entire season if you wanted to which is perfect if you think you might be away for the forum or not have a chance to make your predictions.
The total prizes will depend on how many people ultimately join, but the previous prizes were as follows:
0.1
0.05
0.04
0.03
0.02
0.015
0.014
0.013
0.012
0.011
= 0.305
What's left after fees will go to the highest overall weekly round (ten match rounds or less are only counted).
How it works: The competition is very similar to SkyBet's SuperSix tournament but every week each person involved will predict what they think the
exact scores will be of
all the games that will be played that week. We will be using the superbru website to keep track of points.
Example of scoring:If you picked:
Arsenal v Leicester 0-1
Burnley v Swansea 0-0
Crystal Palace v West Brom 1-1
And the actual results are:
Arsenal v Leicester 2-1
Loss: 0 points Burnley v Swansea 0-0
Win: 40 pointsCrystal Palace v West Brom 2-2
Win: 10 pointsYou would get 50 points from those three selections. The winner would obviously be the person who gets the most points over the season and the top five users will win prizes. This time there will also be 2 or 3 small consolation prizes for those that get the highest points from a round at the end of the season so everybody still has something to play for no matter where you are in the table.
