Bitcointalk English Premier League pool betting Discussion Thread

[BetAdviser]

If I understood it correctly I just need to find the right outcome like 1 X 2 and I win points, but if I do get the correct score will be getting more points too ? Also we only post our predictions in this thread ? If that is the case I cannot miss this one,  so count me in. I have also a specific request, to send right now the 0.012 btc which is equal to 20 pound.

PM me the bitcoin address where to send the bitcoins or post here and anyone to add their transactions along with their names, this would be a good idea so we can check the pool prize too.

We are looking for correct score only, not outcome like 1 X 2

Example:

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: 10 points
Crystal Palace v West Brom 2-2 Win: 5 points

You would get 15 points from those three selections. The winner would obviously be the person who gets the most points over the season.

I think that you will be 15. competitor, but, lets wait hilariousandco to respond

I would prefer to wait till closer to the start of the season before collecting money so everybody pays the same in bitcoin. It could fall or rise before then and would be unfair to some.

It's both. You get points for a correct outcome but double for a correct score.

Ok last question, with 20 pound entry fee we can predict all Championship long or this fee is only for a certain time and is BTTS both teams to score option allowed in this pool betting ? If both answers are yes, count me in, thanks.

Edit: @Betadviser correct score is pure luck and does not show the true skills of a tipster.

It's a one off upfront payment of £20 for the entire Premier League season. The current pot is £300 in bitcoin. And no, it's not both teams to score, just the correct outcome (win, loss, draw) and bonus points for the correct score.

Ok , please count me in, there is room for a tipster like me to do extremely well during a long long championship like the Premier League in England with 1 X 2. Cheers.

Ok. I added you. I'm surprised not many other tipsters have joined up. If they were truly great tipsters they should have a big advantage in this sort of tournament.

I agree with you, I don't see many of the tipsters who were sponsored by Sportsbet a few months ago. I see there are a few great tipsters like CarlesPuyol and Betadviser but I am surprised to see Joca97 and ajaxmoor which are truly good tipsters are missing this tournament. Maybe you need to bump this thread a bit more, me too I only saw this yesterday and immediately applied to join.

It's bumped almost every day. I even asked Joca97 and ajaxmoor directly but they didn't seem interested.

I've only followed Joca/ajax for little over a month so that's not nearly good enough to compare even if am currently in profit - their style for football/tennis seems to be on over/unders as opposed to straight outcomes, which is perhaps why those types of tipsters won't take part here. Maybe update the pot amount/participants in the thread title?

Yeah, one of them requested that it be under/over but this isn't exactly difficult (nor is guessing the correct outcome - correct score is a different matter but that's just for bonus points). I think if you're a so-called tipster and follow football closely you should have an advantage in this sort of competition.

Maybe update the pot amount/participants in the thread title?

Good idea. I'll try do that if it fits. Edit: changed it to Bitcointalk English Premier League pool betting | Current pot: £300 - £20 buy-in

I am surprised so little players joined up while there are so many people in sport predictions threads and not to mention all these "experienced" bettors, everyone from sport bookies topics, all people who are sad because directbet closed doors, all the people who are gambling ONLY for fun(this should be fun) etc etc.
Guys, you don't have to predict exact result of the game to win, it is enough to predict 1 X 2, only difference is you will receive more points for correct result.

I think most of the people posting in the direct bet thread were just sig spammers and account farmers to be honest. I'm sure we'll get a few more users before the start of the season but 15 is a decent amount with a £300 pot.

I agree and their prediction thread was free to join that's why there's a lot of people joining. I'll try to share this thread on different places hope we get more people on the list.

[hilariousandco]

Yeah, it being free was part of its appeal but it was very hard to actually win. This is much easier and for a much bigger pot. Feel free to share the thread with whoever you think might be interested but the users/pot amount we have now is good enough for me.

[KuromaYoichi]

English isn't my first language so let me confirm the rules first.
1. Pay 20 pounds upfront for the entire epl season.
2. Pick score for ALL the matches each week, earn points based on the correct score / outcome.
3. The one with the highest total point will be the winner when the season end, winner takes all.
is this right?

Yes.  But I think if the pot is big enough we can ask hilariousandco to make it have first place, second place and third.

Yes. And just to confirm what tokeweed said there may be smaller second and possibly third place consolation prizes but depends on how many people we get and what other users want.

£20 Sounds good, count me in  .

[icanscript]

Yeah this seems fun and a good idea. Count me in for anything from £20 - £60 upfront.

Added you both. We'll probably just be going with the £20 now seeing as that's what a lot of people have pledged.
