The pool is now open for deposits. Please send 0.01 to the following address: 1NpyfbUeiEMtdCqqBwWNPMSmHLPLLynqfU

Done.

Assuming everyone pays in as promised I will probably make the pot something like:

£400 1st
£80 2nd
£20 3rd

This is ok, please correct value with bitcoin amount.
Good luck all!

Joined the league at BBC.  Can we start picking our predictions now or do we have to wait until everyone has their accounts set up?  I'm soooo excited!

Good luck everyone!

Registered. However it did not allow me to use BitcoinSupremo , the username I used to register in the first link. When I created a nick for the league I was forced to change so my name there is "Supremo1" .

I also see I am the second one registered after Hilariousandco.

By the way why it does not allow me to pick Arsenal for example in the first week. It only lets me move the score up or down.

Maybe that name was too long. Not sure if I've understood you correctly but that's how you make your pics by moving the scores to what you want.

No,  you can make your predictions now. I already did mine. 5 people have signed up via the BBC site so far.

Ok, I get it, the BBC league prediction is for exact scoreline result. Now I am waiting for you to open the thread in games and rounds so I can make my Moneyline predictions there, I couldn't at BBC predict 1 X 2 outcomes, that's what I meant. As I have already said exact score line is pure luck and does not show any tipping skill.

[hilariousetc]

The BBC is for both just like I originally proposed. If you think Arsenal are going to win then choose the score you think they will win by. IE if you think it will be 1-0 and they win 2-0 then that's still a win for you and you would get ten points. If you chose 2-0 and they won by that exact score you would then get 40 points.

Great idea for the BBC predictor! Probably would have lost my bct bookmark among the scores I already have. My only slight issue is that I would have liked to be able to put in my predictions for up to 3 or 4 weeks ahead, especially since I may not have access to Internet when I travel. With this option, it seems you can only predict for the upcoming week. But I'll still go along with this of course.

Just remember to keep a back-up in case it goes down at some point. Probably a screenshot of the league board each week should be enough. Good luck everyone!

I'm glad I found it. Saves me a lot of hassle and work. If you think you're going to be away if you wanted you can PM me the scores and your account details and I'll input them in for you but hopefully you should be able to get to a computer once a week.

How do I view predictions from the rest of the pool on that bbc site ?

And just to be sure, I don't have to predict all of them at the same time correct ?

You mean how do you view others predictions? You can't. They might show them after the week has finished though. And I don't think you do because I accidentally forgot one when I made my initial predictions (or it didn't save properly). You can edit your scores up until the kick off as well.

hilarious - I've paid. Check your 'mod' PM. It's not showing me as paid in the OP buddy.

Ok. Added you.

Everyone has paid so far except for these users:

Wendingo
BetAdviser
cicciobtc:
icanscript
BillCoin
tba

cicciobtc said yesterday he will pay today however.

Only ten users have signed up to the BBC predictor so far.

Done signing up using the link, good thing you found a system like that.  What happens if those users doesn't pay before August 11 or if someone pay late?

By the way why it does not allow me to pick Arsenal for example in the first week. It only lets me move the score up or down.

If you want to pick Arsenal to win vs Leicester just move the scoreline to 1-0, 2-1 or any winning score. Predicting the correct score is important too.

[hilariousetc]

I think most of them will pay though maybe one or two wont. I think I'll let anyone join in at anytime during the season as long as they pay in the 0.01. They'll obviously be at a slight disadvantage though but if they join in early and they're good enough they could soon catch up but it'll be fun anyway. Still a couple days to go though.

Just to share, I tested a few times, clearing cookies and re-logging in to see. Each time you change a prediction, the SAVE button above or below the list will light up. Once you click SAVE, the button fades out, so you know you've saved your picks. You can always come back later to edit as long as the matches haven't started yet.

@hilarious, thanks for the offer! Appreciate it. I'll PM you if I end up in such a situation.

[KuromaYoichi]

Already tried to predict and have no problem so far. It works just like the one from my local country forum. I don't mind people joining later if they pay, it's fun with more player and the price will increase aswell.

I hope lots more people join in throughout the season. It makes the pot bigger for us and they're less likely to win joining in at a later date haha. It will still be fun either way but if you consider yourself an expert tipster you could easily catch up to the 'amateurs' haha.

Is the BBC predictor the way we'll do it officially or will we have to submit predictions in this or another thread?

[hilariousetc]

The BBC site as it does everything for us automatically, but I will still post the other thread and if people want to publicly post their predictions they can do.
