Bitcointalk English Premier League pool betting Discussion Thread

[hahay]

If so, should be you tell again to all participants just for remind because lately I'm busy with my life so I do not notice to the rules like that, because at first you just asked me to register on BBC and I think it was just to create a table calculation of manually predicted results from games and rounds to placed there.
LOL this is really a very bad incident, I do not want this to happen, but I have lost points in the first week, it makes me despair.

I told you about signing up to the site but it's not my fault you misunderstood and didn't input your scores and everyone else managed this. Again, as I've said multiple times I will count your scores at the end of the season if you send me a screenshot of your results tab on the BBC site so you haven't lost out. They obviously wont be counted on the BBC table but we can take them into consideration at the end if it makes a difference so don't worry just send me the screenshot of your results on the BBC site and you will have your 80 points.

To be honest, once you tell me to register on the BBC I think that's enough and after registering on BBC, I never again access that site. Then i think posting in games and rounds is enough and then i think BBC just to show the rank on this contest.

Okay fine no problem, this is my mistake not seeing such rules.

I can not give a screenshot as you asked, because I did not put my prediction on BBC.

Sorry for my misunderstanding and prejudice to you.

I received a loss of points in this first week, sorry once again.

I know, but that's what I want you to prove. Send me a screenshot of that zero points because it's possible you changed your scores (though as I said initially this isn't likely and I don't believe it to be the case but just so there's no complaints from others). Once you've done that we can make note of the 80 points you should have had.

I've said that I did not put a prediction at BBC because I did not know about it so I can not make screenshots like you ask, I just put my predictions in games and rounds.

If you still ask me to make a screenshot on BBC, this is a screenshot that's all empty because I did not make predictions on the BBC.

Add his points next year on last round.
It looks like honest mistake and misunderstanding.
(If he didn't edit post, of course.)

[tokeweed]

It's hahay's fault for not carefully reading the thread.  He's the only guy here who made that mistake so it's pretty clear the rules shouldn't be bent just for you.

But just to shut him up, I suggest either give him his points or just give him his buy in back.

OK. That's all I wanted to confirm. We will credit you with the points you would have earned. Please make sure to submit your predictions to the BBC site which you can do now for this weeks games.

Add his points next year on last round.

I've already said I would do this if he provided proof which he has now done.

It was an honest misunderstanding so I don't think he should be penalised for it and it does no harm crediting him the points so everyone is happy.

For me it's ok to add points to him.
Guys this experiment of this pool betting is very interesting, let's have fun!

[buwaytress]

Glad everything's sorted out. For future guys, it's always important to read and get things right, especially if you're paying for it. I think the host is being extremely gracious, and the others no less. Any normal competition and you'd be out of luck. I have no issues with whatever decision is taken.

Nevertheless, I agree this is a new thing for most of us and we do want to have fun. I'm happy to be bottom of this league if my beleaguered Liverpool win it!

First game of this week starts in a little over an hour so please make sure your predictions are submitted to the BBC site. I've PMd hayhay and his are done so hopefully they'll be no slip ups this week.

I hope it is as you say but I have only seen very few people post also their predictions in the games and rounds thread. Hopefully they have put them in the BBC predictor so there are no misunderstandings this week. This competition is a lot of fun so far.

I'm sure nobody will forget. Most likely wont post their scores publicly now it is no longer needed. It will be interesting to see if those at the top of the board can continue their form or if they just got lucky  .

[BitcoinSupremo]

The games I must say ended as predicted most of them except Arsenal which started (as expected) to screw up since the second week. I didn't yet catch a correct score this time so I guess I will be left in the bottom of the table although there are three more games to end this week.

Don't be too disappointed, the 2nd round is still not yet over there's still 3 games left who knows you might hit a correct score.
It's cool to see that the leaderboard is getting updated now and I only failed to predict two correct outcomes. West Bromwich Albion with the suprise win and that 93th minute goal from Southampton. I was expecting both matches to end on a draw.

Lol, i failed to predict 4 outcomes.
However i predicted one correct score so i have 60 points 
One game has to end draw and i think i will change prediction for newcastle. I got some strange feeling...

[tokeweed]

Boy, do I suck in this game.  I actually thought I wasn't a bad predictor of these games but when you put it on paper where you can actually see it.  The truth comes out.  Lol. 

I see that cicciobtc is having a good run at it, leading with 190 points.  He should post his betting picks in the EPL thread for everyone to see.

I'm doing pretty shit so far with only 30 points. I think if you can get one correct score a week you're doing pretty well though.

Yeah,  glad you can see everybody's points from the current round now.

Ha, we'll that's one good reason why some people won't want to publicly post their scores because people can just copy the best tipsters.

It's only been two rounds so far so things can still drastically change if some people have a couple of bad or good weeks. I think results are harder to predict at the beginning of the season as well because teams are still rusty.

The season is very long, and with all these surprises in the Premier League scores are very low. Potentially every day you can do 400 points (40 points x 10 matches)! In the middle of the season we will see if some player takes advantage of the opponents.

I will try my best to continue my form at the top,yesterday i missed out on an easy game as i was late on entering my prediction but i am sure i will still hold up in the top and make sure it was not a lucky shot   the real fun part was the tipsters here are well far behind now which now gives a breather.   Yesterday i was disappointed with the performance of Arsenal other than that it was good.

[Mr. Big]

I got 40 points for this week, again... hahahaha... Not bad..

Ha, well yeah, potentially, but the odds of getting anywhere near 400 points is astronomical.

I wonder if Minho++ forgot to input his scores as he's the only one on zero points this week.

I got 40 points for this week, again... hahahaha... Not bad..  

That's ten more than me currently.

[BitcoinSupremo]

After Tottenham vs Chelsea finished and I got its correct result score I moved up to 90 points this week which is above average I think and in total I am so far at 170, should be in the top five for the moment.

Meanwhile I believe I can change my prediction for tomorrow game as I have a gut feeling it will be a different result , just asking here for confirmation ?

Yes you can, change prediction and save new one.
