Anybody wanna put their money where their mouth is?  Since it's near the what I think is the 6000 USD floor, would anybody here wanna bet against me 8 to 1?

I say BTC won't go below 6000 USD for your 80 bucks vs my 10 bucks (I could go up to 50 for your 400).

Terms would be:  

If BTC goes below 6000 USD, it should stay there for at least two weeks to be considered actually 'below 6000'.

If BTC goes below 6000 USD for a week (for example) then goes back up and then back down again, the counter for the 'below 6000 two week time frame' goes back to zero.

We use Bitfinex's BTC/USD price.

Bet is only open while BTC is above 6500 USD.

Bets would only be open to very trusted members and gamblers in hilariousandco's FIFA and EPL betting pool.

Anybody?

^  It's prolly better to keep every discussion as much as possible in this thread.  The other FIFA thread is full of people who could really be not into football or sports in general I think...  Judging from some of their posts.

Anyway...  I finished my bracket earlier before I joined the league.  I don't have to do anything else right?  My brackets are set regardless if I join a couple more leagues or not, right?

Yep or just send the league code.

^  Yup.  I can see hilarious and me but nobody else.  I think the link he sent us was a 1v1 challenge.  To have a league where all of us can be in, I think hilarious has to create one here:
 https://predictor.fifa.com/match/leagues and https://bracketchallenge.fifa.com/bracket/leagues

I don't think they're leagues but 1v1 challenges...?  Can you check hilarious, thanks.  I think to create a league you have to go here:  https://predictor.fifa.com/match/leagues and https://bracketchallenge.fifa.com/bracket/leagues

Not sure but let's double check how this thing works.

Hey Snorek, do you mind telling us if your Slark account had a strong password?  I mean seriously...  I don't think I've seen as much accounts getting hacked in a forum before.  It's weird.  How do they get all those passwords?

Last call to join the cool kids guys.  If you wanna play in the FIFA WC betting pool just go to the thread and tell hilariousandco you're interested.  It's just 25 GBP to join.

FIFA WC Betting Pool:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4130568.0

And discuss why or why not?

I just wanna know all your opinions.  I was also gonna make this a poll, but I think the discussion 'why' (or why not) would be better.

Let's also have some fun around in the thread...  

Edit:  Prop bet added.

*Bet is only available til the end of June (2018).

*If ever somebody bites and bets against me, it will end on December 31, 2018, midnight (forum time).

Anybody?

^  Yup...  I honestly had Romero winning that match.  But yeah, I think it would look really bad for the UFC to parade Whitaker with the belt around the octagon if he lost.  Lol.

Edit:  Surprising was RDA vs Covington...  I really thought RDA was taking Covington to school.

BTC for the WC betting pool shipped and pm sent to hilariousandco.

Trofo cool...  It's on!

^  Nope.  That site prolly collects referral fees from the sites it advertises.  You wanna know the best sports betting sites to use for the WC?

Check out Peeps Place, RyanK and Fruegreads' threads.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577102.0

Those are the most honest reviews I've seen in the forum.

^  Ok let's wait.  And yup Vettel was great but I'm more excited about the guys on third and fourth on the grid.  Verstappen vs Hamilton!

Should be fun seeing Verstappen defend vs Hamilton (under breaking!  Lmao). 

Quoting that^ and confirming that I agree to the rules.  Since you could go up to 50 USD then let's go to 50 USD.  But I prefer to leave it in USD...  We wouldn't have to deal with the volatility.  It would suck to agree with something like .007 and see BTC go to 15K USD the next month.  Lol.

Anyway quote this reply and it's on.

This is gonna be Messi's WC!  I can feel it!  

F*ck me.  Lol. 

It's pretty much a coin flip between Messi and Griezmann with the latter as a (very) slight favorite.  I'm looking at the latest odds at Pinnacle right now (Nitrogen doesn't work on my tablet):  https://www.pinnacle.com/en/odds/specials/soccer/fifa-world-cup

Last time I checked it was very close with Messi vs Neymar.

Wanna go for it?  Messi vs Griezmann?  G is a nice pick btw...  I regret not thinking about him.  I went for the obv choice.  Lol.

^  Since you're a football prediction expert, why don't you join us in BCT's own FIFA WC 2018 Betting Pool:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4130568.0

It's just 25 GBP to enter and it's run by global mod hilariousandco.  So no need to worry about getting cheated or something.

^  It's alright. 

Btw...  We have a betting pool going in case you and your friends wanna join in:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4130568.0

It's run by hilariousandco himself (BCT's global mod), so you're sure to get paid if you win.

^  I'm glad.  I'd like to see more of Kane and the Spur's core players this year.  I think City will have a waaay harder time dominating the league this time around with LFC, Man United and Tottenham improving their squads.  Tho we haven't seen Poch acquire anybody yet, it's safe to say Daniel Levy could break the bank to get the players they actually want.

^  We already did.  They're all talk, no action.    Anyway I have some side bets offered in Joca97's thread   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4409609.0

It's open to anybody who's in the FIFA WC betting pool too.  Anybody want in? 

So Romero didn't make weight again, making the main event a none title bout...  Sucks since there isn't much at stake anymore.  But the good news is the Romero line is going up.  Not sure what that means tho...  Does that mean he won't be fighting at peak performance?  Did he get an extended wait cut before the weigh in?

Anyway, the RDA line is fading too.  He's now the underdog and I'm not sure what that means too.  Lol.  I'll prolly just make small bets on the underdogs of the top fights in the main card (Romero, RDA and Anderson) just to make things entertaining.
