Is anyone interested in a fantasy pool? I know a few people have expressed interest in the past and I think even one or two said they would prefer it to the predictor. Reason I ask is it looks like Betnomi are going to be doing their own pool and it seems silly to have two competing pools running so I suggested they do a fantasy one instead. Hopefully there's enough interest for a fantasy pool because having another PL pool running is going to severely effect new members joining this one.


He's not over-rated. He's underrated if anything. He was one of the best if not the best players for England during the Euros. As for money, all players are overvalued these days but if Harry Maguire is worth 90 million then that's a steal for Phillips. Leeds' squad has took a pretty big hit with Raphinia leaving today. They'll probably be fighting relegation all season again if they don't make good use of all that money they just got.

I'll post them as soon as everyone's paid. If people can pay ASAP that would be great so I can start planning the prizes so please don't leave it last minute if you can. The quciker we can get the prizes fixed in the more people will likely join once they know what they are.


Yeah, please join the one sent via PM once you've paid.


I'd be surprised if he stays with no Champions League. He's going to want to hold onto that CL all tome top scorer lead which will be severely dented unless he can get himself to a team that is going to be playing in Europe. I'm sure he's conflicted with wages though as he might have to take a cut so there's that to weigh up. Not seeing him in the CL is kinda tragic. Maybe he should just go back to Real.

AJ has to go in for a scrap. If he just lazily walks into this without committing or hoping to win it miraculously on points I think a lot of people are going to lose interest in him.  He needs to change up his gameplan otherwise it's just going to be a repeat of the first fight. He needs to get the win for that Fury fight which will almost certainly happen if he gets the belts back. If not Fury will probably just fight Usyk but for some reason I really want to see him against AJ more.

I don't think he is. He had a cracked rib last time and proved it with x-rays and now the USA literally isn't allowing him in so there's not much he can do about it right now. I think Tommy really wants this fight as he's certainly been gunning for it on social media and it's likely the biggest payday he'll ever get and he probably sees it as an easy fight, though it is still very risky for him in my opinion. I'm hoping Tommy can get a Visa sorted and the fight will happen in the future or they'll just do it in the UK. Jake has offered him 500k to fight in the UK but Tommy Turned it down:


https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/jake-paul-tommy-fury-fight-27421883

Can't really blame him when he was getting 2 million for the other fight but beggars can't be choosers in his position.


Yeah, I'm thinking it's a bit of a safe bet as he will already know what he's up against, though his opponent doesn't exactly seem to be a pushover. I'm hoping Jake can keep his unbeaten record as I still want to see him go on to bigger and better things starting with the Tommy fight next if he can get that sorted.

It's relatively easy. If you're from one of the countries that has a visa waiver program which the UK does you just have to fill out a form a month or so before you go and it's valid for about six months or something. However, working visas I think require an embassy visit.


I'm not so sure about that. Tommy had a visa and was in the states only a month or so ago. The US just revoked it for reasons that haven't been made public but people are assuming it's because of Tyson connections to Kinehan. Tyson was also denied entry and has had his visa revoked in June.

He should be able to get it sorted out at the embassy according to Jake, though maybe the US are playing hard ball and want cooperation on info on Kinehan from the Furys. Would they have banned Tyson if he had a fight on? I'm not so sure. Hopefully Tommy can get it sorted. Maybe the fight will have to take place in the UK if not but Jake will almost certainly just fight someone else in August instead. I wonder if he has a backup in place?


It looks like his whole team isn't allowed, including Tyson, so he'd basically be alone over there according to his dad: https://www.insider.com/boxing-champ-tyson-fury-reportedly-banned-from-flying-into-us-2022-6

I can understand Tommy's frustrations if that's true. It would be a huge disadvantage to not have any family members or his regular coaches there. I think Tommy really wants this fight so I doubt he's going to turn it down unless there's something literally stopping him from doing it. And yeah, his dad is banned due to serving serious jail time for blinding someone in a fight. Anyone who's done prison time can't get in. If you have a criminal record you need to get special permission from the US embassy but they deal with them on a case by case basis.


That's what makes this fight to appealing to me. It's probably the first big challenge for both of them. Jake can win it for sure and to me both fighters are quite evenly matched, though Tommy has been fighting practically his own life whereas Jake is a relative newcomer. Tommy has only really fought bums and journeymen though and Jake has only fought youtubers and ex-MMA fighters who were on their way out and people have been clamouring for him to prove himself and fight a 'proper' boxer so here it is. Tommy is the perfect step up. He might not be the best boxer but he's still unbeaten and the biggest draw is that Fury name. Anything other than a KO by Fury is going to be an embarrassment for him. If Tommy losses it could even end his career. Nobody is going to take him seriously if he can't even beat a 'youtuber'. His family have practically said they'd disown him if he lost and that's a huge weight to bare. They've both said he should quit if he can't beat Jake and he might have to as that will follow him around his whole life.

It's not about money it's just visa issues. Jake said all Tommy has to do is go the American embassy in the UK and he should be able to sort it. He should be able to make a case that he's only connected to this by name. Barring him from the States over his brothers connections seems very harsh.

Neither Jake or Logan are going to fight Mayweather is he hasn't paid Logan for the first fight.

Yeah jeremypwr said they were busy but I'd like to get the thread going ASAP so we've got at least a month to promote it and get as many sign ups as possible.


Superbru is free to use worldwide. It's just a site we use to input our predictions and keep track of the leaderboard.
It's a great site and very easy to use. Sign up now and check it out if you want.

Uggh. I'm going to be so annoyed if this fight doesn't happen. Hopefully Tommy can get his VISA sorted out in time. At least there's plenty of time to try get approval and this was only for a promo event. It seems a bit unfair to not let him in based purely on the fact that he's the brother of Tyson who has links to Kinahan. I'm sure the US taxman will be losing a lot in revenue if the Fury's don't fight there anymore. Tyson will probably just fight out of the UK or Abu Dhabi in the future. Jake might have to find a new opponent though as I can't see him making the fight in the UK given he's already booked Madison Square Gardens.

The press conferences probably won't be that great. Tommy doesn't really have much patter/banter. He seems quite quiet really, especially compared to his brother/father and they were doing most of the talking in the build up to the last fight before it was called off. The real excitement is going to be what happens in the ring. I can't call it at all. The odds are slightly in Tommy's favour and that's understandable, but not my much. I could see it going the distance p[ersonally, though I hope someone gets knocked out. I think both fighters could be very cagey and worried about getting knocked out so might be hesitant to go for the kill. Both are going to want to keep their unbeaten 'titles' but it's going to be an absolute embarrassment for Tommy if he doesn't get the KO. Even if it goes the distance and he wins on points it's still going to be a bad look for him in my opinion.


It wasn't staged. The only people who say that are plastic armchair boxing commentators in YouTube and twitter comments. Woodley, got sparked out cold. Nobody saw that coming, not even Woodley.


But for what McGregor lacks in height he makes up in experience and skill. Both McGregor and Mayweather are 1.73 meters tall and Floyd obviously fought Logan Paul who is 1.88 so I can still see this happening in the future. Nobody will care about the difference in height/weight when there's a shitload of money on the line. If Jake wins this I guarantee you Connor will probably start sniffing around for this fight.

Ok for some, but I wonder how long we will have to wait before we find out whether they're even road legal elsewhere like in the UK and Europe? It's also going to be interesting to see if they can keep the price down as well. There's no way I can see these trucks being the cheapest Tesla. I'd be very surprised if it's not nearly double the initial price quoted.

It's a done deal now:

Should be a good month for boxing with AJ/Usyk later in the month.


Shut up with the baseless rigged nonsense. And all boxing fights are just for the money. Nobody is doing this for free. It's all about the money. Neither Jake Paul or Tommy will want to lose this fight and it's going to be an embarrassment for Fury if he does and I think that's what makes this fight intriguing. If Jake has a decent performance who knows where he will go after this fight but if he wins it wouldn't surprise me if his next fight is against someone like McGregor.

It looks like Jake Paul was apparently going to face Tommy Fury on this card but Fury is allegedly pulling out with some more excuses (according to Jake in the above video). Hoping this fight does get made as I think it's a great fight for both of them. Gives Jake the credit of fighting a 'proper' boxer and will be huge exposure for Tommy in the USA/worldwide and could get him out of the shadow of his brother depending on how well he does. If Tommy loses though he will be an embarrassment in the boxing world so there's a lot at stake for both of them. Personally, I think it's quite an even fight and couldn't really pick a winner. If Tommy doesn't make this happen it's gonna make him look like a flaker though. Two million purse is a lot of money to walk away from especially to someone like Tommy who really doesn't deserve that sort of cash right now but that's the benefit of fighting Jake.

Looks like Jake might have a back up plan though in Nate Diaz as Dana White has apparently given the OK for him to fight:

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/mma/jake-paul-nate-diaz-fight-27297260

I'd still prefer to see the Fury fight though.

Edit: https://twitter.com/tommytntfury/status/1539647903685173248

Looks like Tommy Fury is insinuating he's still fighting him according to that tweet. Tyson Fury was recently denied entry to the USA due to his ties to alleged gang boss so neither him or his dad would have been able to travel to the states for the Tommy fight. Maybe Tyson can get his VISA situation sorted out before then. You know they wouldn't turn him away if he personally had a boxing fight on.

Most commentary and even technical analysis is bullshit. I'd rather have a glass dildo shatter in my arsehole than have to listen to anything Michael Owen has to say. He's one of the most dullest men on the planet.

And to sync up the radio you can just pause the football until it's in time. Probably a bit of a faff but that's why I'd rather just listen to music. You're really not missing much on the commentary. There's only the odd time it's useful for when they're checking something on VAR and you're not sure what's going on or something has happened on the pitch that you're not sure about. A month or so ago they stopped the game for some reason and I had no idea what was going on but it turned out a fan in the stand was having a medical issue so they were getting medics to him. Had to google it after.


It's probably going to keep falling as well, especially if Celsius goes under which I think is very possible. If they manage to come out of this unscathed I've be very surprised. Lots of people are getting spooked by all these recent events and cashing out into fiat which is obviously having a massive knock on effect and is probably going to get a lot worse before it gets better. The fee will be between £25-£50 regardless though. I messaged jeremypwr about getting confirmation on the sponsorship and free bets so when I hear back I'll get the sign-up thread up and running.

Timelord has a very weird definition of what trust abuse is and it often changes to suit his own narrative. It is trust abuse and he should have removed it years ago.

Timelord's petty vendetta against me goes back years and all started in the first place because I excluded him from my trust-list because of his often wildly inaccurate feedbacks he left on dozens of instances and as we can see that still continues to this day, but that's the best excuse he could come up with to leave negative feedback on me after extensively combing through my posts to try find something to justify his feedback system abuse after he became butthurt after another spat we had.

His trust on me is also literally inaccurate because my comments were not homophobic. If anything you could maybe argue they were transphobic or whatever non-binary-phobic is, but it's neither of them because it was what is called a joke.

I would encourage everyone to distrust ~Timelord2067 until he sorts his hypocritical abusive trust out.


Pro-tip: Timelord left that feedback two years ago on a post that was almost two years older than that so he had to do a lot of digging to find it. Maybe timelord should take heed instead of being a further hypocrite.

You have a very weird set of standards for what constitutes trust abuse. That isn't trust abuse. However, this is:



As Loyvce said, I don't want to have to see your abusive shitsmear on any of my accounts.


Because I've done nothing to warrant being distrusted by you or anyone else. What behaviour have I exhibited that gives you the opinion that I cannot be trusted on this forum? Do you you really think a joke is a reason to distrust someone and even worse leave negative feedback for? Of course, we all know that's not the reason you actually distrust me but it's the best justification you could come up with. You've distrusted me over nothing but a petty vendetta that goes back years and all because I originally excluded you from my trust list because of your often wildly inaccurate and abusive trusts that as we can see still continue to this day.


You also like to conveniently leave out the fact that it was you who left me feedback from your two accounts first. I simply returned the favour. Of course, it's never trust abuse when you do it.


Then chop-chop. What's taking you so long? You can't be that busy since making posts here and elsewhere takes longer than to hit that delete button on your abusive feedback.

They must have lost the rights. They had it a year or two ago but I've been with the Spanish one for the last season. Commentary isn't a deal breaker for me. I usually just listen to music instead. You could probably just find a radio station that is covering it I suppose.


I can give people a grace period up to a certain point like I did last season. Maybe I could allow some users to pre-pay but you may have to make up the difference if the price changes drastically before I fix the amount to btc.



The pools have grown with every season so far so I'm hoping we can keep the tradition going. Hoping for at least 50 users this season.

I usually don't start taking in the money until a week or so before the league starts because the price can fluctuate so much in the space of a month or so. Somebody could end up paying nearly double more or likely less the way things are going. Depending on which way the price goes it can be unfair to those who pay either early or late, or become too high of a fee to play, so that's why I like to state roughly what the fee is likely to be in fiat then try to make it a nice round number in btc nearer the time and collect the money in one go nearer the time so it's fairer to everyone. The fee in the past has been between £25-40 in GBP fiat so I'd like to make it something like 0.002 or 0.0025 which would be fine as it stands but maybe not if the price keeps tanking.

0.0015 btc is currently 31.85 USD or 25.75 GBP
0.002 btc is currently 42.48 USD or 34.36 GBP
0.0025 btc is currently 53.13 USD or 42.98 GBP
0.003 btc is currently 63.63 USD or 51.46 GBP

I'd be fine with £50 but I don't want to price people out, but at the same time with a free $50 weekly bet up for grabs it's still a very good deal especially for an entire seasons worth of entertainment that is not going to have you chasing your losses  . 0.0025 is probably what I'd aim for right now.

Once I get the confirmation from Sportsbet on their sponsorship I'll start the sign-up thread asap.

It seems there's something brewing in the Fury camp given what he's been saying the past couple of days and he's been doing a lot of media. His next fight might only be an exhibition but as I said before, this retirement talk is almost certainly just part of Fury's game plan to squeeze as much possible money out of his next fight. He's "retired", but not if someone offers him half a billion which is pretty much what he said recently. Of course getting that sort of money almost certainly won't happen but I'm sure he's willing to negotiate. Start high and see what the best offers are. I think it's safe to assume that we will likely see Tyson fighting again. There's going to be far too much money on the line for a unification fight for all the belts. Probably not anywhere near 500k but he will end up with at least 100k minimum, maybe even double that if he wins. I don't think either Usyk or AJ will trouble him too much either so I think it will be a silly move to walk away from all the belts especially when there's not much risk on the line and that fight will be by far his biggest payday.

It's always both parties being greedy. The player can easily shut down his agent if he's the catalyst trying to encourage a transfer and they don't want it but they usually do want to milk as much money out of their situation. The player can quite easily say I'm fine where I am and that would be the end of it. Their existing club will still up their wages when it comes to re-sign if they're desperate to keep them but that often won't compete with what another club is offering them so if they leave just for a bit of extra cash then it's purely financially motivated. There's really no loyalty left if football these days. Most players just go wherever they can get the most cash. Can I blame them? Not really, but for some you would think there's more loyalty to a club and fanbase that gave them everything as opposed to swanning off elsewhere just for an extra couple of million which they probably don't even need.


They have, but Spain are seemingly pretty strict about tax issues, though you can usually always buy your way out of any serious repercussions or prison time etc. It's probably why they both left Spain. There's always going to be loopholes left to exploit and players like them two are going to have the best lawyers and accountants so they will always find a way to abuse both systems.


You still get some smaller teams making it into the CL spots though, but it is obviously very difficulty given the number of big clubs and it's always going to be the same big 4 or 5 thereabouts. The Super League was a little different though. It was completely elitist and purely greedy from the start. It was just the big clubs wanting to make a league exclusively for them and nobody else so they can take all the money and split it up by themselves whilst making their own rules.


I use the Spanish Dazn but it doesn't have English commentary. The Canadian one does and I used that before but I kept running into proxy issues so I went with the Spanish one once my subscription ran out. It might be ok now though or may just depend on the proxy you use. Try find someone in Canada and see if you can get them to create you an account. You can't sign up for it with proxy but once the account is created it's using a proxy is usually fine. You can pay pay as you go monthly and they even used to do one month free trial so you can give it a go and if it doesn't work just cancel it after a month. I have both the German and Spanish Dazns and they're both well worth the money. I split them with a friend as well as two people can watch at once. Between them both I have all the boxing, all UFC fights and pretty much all the biggest football leagues inn Europe.

Create your own thread about it if you are unable to comment or reply. People are free to create a thread to respond and I would encourage users do that if people are trying to stifle discussion in a way that suits them.



Well that would be against the rules and was probably reported and removed for such.

People should be allowed to lock their topic and bump it as long as it's within the rules. I've seen genuine users make use of locking a topic and bumping it likely because they don't want to deal with spam comments etc. Of course, scammers and idiots will make use of both locking their topic and deleting any comments they don't like but that's just how it goes. If you feel a user is doing something purely to troll or be abusive then you can try report the thread if you feel it breaks the rules. Users can already abuse the self-mod feature to delete comments they don't like but should we modify that or get rid of it too? I don't think so as users should be allowed to moderate their own topics however they want even if that does mean nefarious users will abuse it. If people are abusing these features, and especially to scam, then either create a thread in Rep or Scam Accs and/or use the feedback system to give warning/leave a note of why you find their behaviour suspicious or untrustworthy.
