Bitcointalk English Premier League pool betting Discussion Thread

By the way, are we going to be running this for the entire year ?

It's for the whole season 2017/18. Why would it be for any less? Why you asking, because you're in 1st place atm & want a pay out now

If Newcastle can score in the next 20 minutes, I might do very well even if tomorrow's game goes to hell.

Well Newcastle scored. Is 0-1 what you predicted? I needed Swansea to equalise for a 1-1 draw.

Indeed, that is exactly what I needed to take my score to 100. I was "right" also about one of the bottom 3 eventually winning last night, but I only predicted a 1-0 victory so couldn't rake in more. Should have taken more bets, all my Liverpool ones except total goals crapped out.

All-in-all 120 points for week 4 which is just great for me! I won't mind if this is my weekly average. @ajaxmoor, you're pulling away, great run again!

I'm happy that I'm not at the bottom right now, looking at the table.  But look who's at the bottom!  Lolololol. 

Maybe we should start ignoring his 'advice' now?  Just kidding.  The teasing in this betting pool is all in good fun.   

Hilariousandco, maybe we should have more of this.  A World Cup betting pool would also be fun for sure.

I had it down at 0-0 and it was up until the 70 minutes when they quickly got two goals. Thought I was going to grab another 40 points there.

Yeah, we can do more. I don't mind doing them if there's sites like the bbc predictor to do all the work for you. We could have done one with the champions league but it's a bit late now with the first games tonight.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I'd definitely be up for doing a World Cup one too, maybe a bit far away to start discussing that right now though.
As for the PL one, I just looked at our league table, I'm in 5th so not bad I suppose. Going to do my predictions for the weekend now

[buwaytress]

Quit trolling, toke But yes, has our friend Eality dropped out? Or was he going for crazy scores all over the place?

Ouf, I would have *really* loved to do this pool for Champions League but yeah I suppose it's not worth it unless we start from after the Group Stages are over. Now a World Cup finals pool would be something to look at. I'll keep an eye out for something free like the BBC sports predictor. I have a feeling FIFA might do something. I recall a sort of league game they made last World Cup, but it wasn't points based. Just a simple straight pick.

I think BetAdviser actually joined in late and missed some rounds. That's why his score is so low.

Top 5 after 4 matches:

1) Ajaxmoor        440 (average 110)
2) StephenCurry  380 (average  95)
3) CarlesPuyol     370 (average  92,5)
3) Hilarious          370 (average  92,5)
5) LFC_Bitcoin      360  (average  90)

120 is the best score of the day (both Buwaytress and LFC_Bitcoin)
Ajaxmoore increases its advantage (+60 points on second place)

[Here4Trades]

Count me in @WorldCup league guys ... my country is about to qualy directly and make history hence after France 1998 rules to qualify changed and we haven't qualy directly since that.  gogo Uruguay!!

Yeah it's quite a ways away but I'll try get one organised nearer the time.

Uefa have a predictor for the champions league if anyone wanted to do that: http://uclpredictor.uefa.com/match/yourpredictions/62

Could maybe start from the next round.

I'm happy with my performance so far. I wonder how long it will take for someone to break away from the pack or will it be a tightly contested competition all the way through.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I don't think we can afford to let ajaxmoor pull away any further, need to concentrate & make sure my predictions are spot on this week

[Here4Trades]

Guys I pmed Hilarous but haven't got a reply about creating a pool for the UEFA champions league , if he's not looking to manage it or maybe we ain't many to run hence it started already, we have til 26th to create a pool and I can take care of it (I got no issues to escrow funds directly or if someone else want to do it himself that's good too) want to hear you'r thoughts greetings!!

[hilariousetc]

LFC_Bitcoin, marlboroza and Wendingo are off to a good start this week all with correct scores.

Here4Trades got off to a bad start missing out the sneaky Friday game haha:

Haven't find " Bournemouth vs Brighton " on the BBC predictor idk if I'm that blind or is not gonna happen.
Happened yesterday IDK how I missed that one.

Wonder if there'll be a new number one this week. It's pretty close with the top 5 and LFC_Bitcoin is only one correct score away from joint 1st as it stands.

If we can get 10 or so people interested I'll get one going.

[BetAdviser]

This Crystal Palace....rllly...0:8, Benteke cant score a single goal .. My predict was 1:1 but after 5 games CP still without single goal..so sad


EDIT:

Thanks to Looserpool and Tottenham -.-

Haha, tell you what, Here4Trades. As SOON as Sunday/Monday is over, logon to your BBC and enter your predictions for the following week. Even if you haven't made any final decisions, at least you can have your scores locked in - in case you forget to come back to do it. I predicted a 1-0 win, so only got 10 points - I thought this was going to be a low-scoring game with a separate under 2.5 wager on it (lost it of course).

So far not looking good on this week's outcomes at HT. Watching the Liverpool game as usual and not sitting easy (as usual).

If we can get 10 or so people interested I'll get one going.

You can count me in as one.

Sadly hence my knownledge about Premier League is very limited although I watched many matchs lately.... is not my best.
I'd like to see how I do on the UEFA and WC ....
nice to know you join us  waytress.
As this is low amount and we are able to make predictions weekly I'd rather to do this than betting on singles matches ... is pretty damn cool.

[hahay]

lol I forgot to make a prediction in round 5, I had time to make a preview for the tottenham game but it did not get my score for me, only 2 games left, hopefully I can make correct predictions. by the way, I can not go in to make predictions on the BBC, does anyone know?

[tokeweed]

Is the BBC's predictor site working fine for everyone else?  I can't seem to find our game even with all the script blockers off.

Please post the table if it works for you.  Thanks.  

[hilariousandco]

It's working fine for me unless it was down and back up now.
