Just to let you know that we are still negotiating the details, this is not forgotten, and I'm pretty confidant it will go live!
In the meantime feel free to share and suggest anything you would like to see in the Poker League.

Yes you are correct. Ideally we would have a tournament 2 times a day (3 days a week), so we could reach both timezones at the best hour, but if not possible it should be like you said.

I do believe that should be acceptable in poker because many things must be analyzed when it comes to poker, like collusion detection etc
The sponsor is not yet decided, but that should be a common thing among all of them I guess, when it comes to poker at least.
I'm totally used to that in fiat poker rooms, and I don't expect it to be different in BTC poker, because of the same reasons. Anyway that of course will not be up to me, as I will only manage the competition, the rest will be up to the sponsor.

Glad Chelsea did not let me down. I think I will start risking a little more on them, could have one more if I did not played it cautious in the draw no bet. A win is a win, and it sure helped on "the mess" I did on the other leagues.

At least i won one of those bets, and it made things a little better but still a loss. Granada keeps messing me up from time to time lol
I was also expecting a little more from Real Madrid, after the draw from Barcelona and all.

omfg no idea about what happen in the Rio Ave vs Tondela. It was not even because of the red card, it was 1-3 before that...
oh well, I guess this is football. Congrats for all that went for the over 2.5 instead of betting on Rio Ave.
Terrible week on the Portuguese League for me, at least the other leagues covered this one.

The idea is to have more buy in tournaments than freerolls, so for that reason alone people playing in the buy in tournaments will have a chance to get more points. The buy in tournaments could award more points, but it should remain balanced. The main idea for the freeroll is to allow players to collect some coins there, and be also able to play in the other tournaments.


Not going to create a new site. Will try to get a sponsor and if the site has web browser poker it can be played in a browser. I'm used to download poker software, I even prefer to do it even when the poker room has a browser client, because clients tend to lag less and normaly have more features that I like to use. It would be great to create something that everyone would like, but sometimes that is not possible.

As for the freerolls, like I explained before, a skilled players should be able to pass by the league with profit without having to risk much, or probably anything. The winnings from the freerolls should pay the buy ins for the other tournaments, and the winnings from the other tournaments should pay their own buy in and the buy in of the main event. We will not have just freerolls, that is not the idea.

Yep I'm already in negotiations, so everything should be up and running very soon I hope. Stay tuned!
I'm pretty confidant we will have this Poker League!

Confirmed!
Thanks, and Happy New Year!

That is exactly what I have in mind, and what I'm trying to achieve. Did not thought about the sig campaign option.
That's probably not a bad ideia as well, although it would limit the number of participants I guess, since they would not be able to were their campaign sig.

To bad Mourinho is being announced as the next Real Madrid coach instead of Manchester United. It would bee nice to see him on United and Guardiola on City.

When I thought about main event it would not be for just some players. It would just be a more serious tournament that would award more points for the league and would have a bigger buy in than the regular ones during the month. This would be the last tournament of the month before the end of the League. It could have some cool feature like a bounty for the top league player by the time of that tournament etc, but I will still have to think more about it.

As for the sponsor I think I'm pretty close. I will keep you informed!

The idea of having at least 3 weekly tournaments was exactly thinking about that. One could be a freeroll, and the others could also have different buy ins. Maybe not to big, since this would be the first tournament, and it would be nice to allow most people to join, so they can build up there poker bankroll. I thin the ones with buy in could be somewhere between 5 - 10 mBTC, what do you guys think?


EDIT: I also just remembered that at the end of the month we could have something like a "main event", that would be the tournament with the biggest buy in. Nothing to big of course, but something to make it more exciting.

Very disappointed with Porto, not sure the coach will last long.

As for today I also agree that Rio Ave should have an "easy" win. The draw is always a risk vs these week teams, since they just defend a lot, but the odds are decent in my opinion so I will take that risk.

Rio Ave v Tondela
Rio Ave @ 1.59

To bad Celta did not score a goal, but all the others were wins so it was a good day in the Spanish league for me.
As for today I think I will risk a little.

Granada v Sevilla
Sevilla @ 1.78

Valencia v Real Madrid
Real Madrid @ 1.52
Both teams to Score?, Yes @ 1.59

Got a little scared with that own goal, but everything worked fine in the end, and got a good win on this one.
As for today I will go for the Chelsea game.

C Palace v Chelsea
Draw No Bet, Chelsea @ 1.41

I don't think they will lose this one. They are still far away from what they should be in my opinion but are playing better. I think the odds are decent enough for me to risk it.

I'm trying to get us a sponsor.

As for the tournament itself, I thought about at at least 3 a week two times a day (for different time zones), and at least one of them should be a freeroll. Depending on the place you finish you would be awarded points for the Poker League, and in the end of the month prizes would be paid for the top players in the League.

Hello guys, I'm a poker and sports betting enthusiastic. I'm glad to see the sports betting thriving in this forum.
Every day we see new tipsters threads, and we even now have a competition for tipsters, in which I participated and that is now in the IV edition.

So the big question is:

What about poker?

Would you like to see a monthly Poker League in this forum?
If so what would you like it to have?

I think it would be great if we had some exclusive tournaments for us during the week, and at least one could be a freeroll, and we could get points from participating, based on the place we finish in the tournament, etc, and in the end of the month prizes would be paid for the top players in the league.

Let me know what you think about this. What would you like to see in a Poker League?

I agree with you on the over 2.5. I really think this is a high risk game, for both teams. Because of that 1 point that separates them, and because of all the pressure the Porto's couch is having, so I think that after we get a goal they will have to risk a lot, and since they are good teams, many goals can happen. Let's see how it goes.

Yep there goes Leicester i guess. a loss vs Liverpool and now a draw vs a team from the bottom, they probably won't be able to keep it up.
Let's wait and see. As for united lol, they have to start winning some day xD
