You can play such prop bets on sportsbooks dude. Why do you want a peer from this forum?

Dunno...  I find it more fun because me and the guy I'm betting with can tease each other the whole season long.  Betting on props in a sports book sometimes make betting impersonal and you're just there making the bet against your bookie.

Does anybody want to do a side bet with me just for fun?  Pick a player who you think would score more goals against my pick, Sergio Kun Aguero.  Bet will be .01 BTC.  First come, first serve.  If it's ok with hilariousandco, I prefer him to escrow.

Aguero agains't  Lukaku what you think about ? You want hilarious to escrow the bet or do you prefer a trust bet over all the champioship ? Ain't going to run for 0.01 but if you prefer to escrow it all the way I'm ok with it.

YES!  You're on!  Now let's wait for hilariousandco's reply if he's willing to escrow.  It's not that I don't trust you but having the money in escrow, however small, is better for both parties.

Well done Wendigo, you almost doubled your points and shot right into the Top 10. I saw that only three guys got 100 or more points. More relieved that most of you guys above me were just as crap with your picks You're really cutting the top lead, LFC... is that for Liverpool FC btw? I've been doing very badly with side betting on Liverpool... 4 straight winless games and a lot of btc burnt heh. So I'm on the cards for a sweet revenge win this weekend...  put a big fat one down at an away win and BBC score at 3-0. if I lose that, though, it'll be a few weeks before I find my nerves again.

Don't forget to add your picks guys. BBC Predictor working again.

It's becoming very congested at the top of the leaderboard, starting to look like it'll be uber competitive for the pay positions.

Edit - @ buwaytress yes, LFC is for my lifelong supported club Liverpool. Went to my 3rd match of the season last night, away at Leicester, was pretty shitty. My next game is not until the end of October at Anfield vs Huddersfield.

Hey guys, anybody else wanna escrow for my prop bet with Here4Trades?  Don't worry, it's only for .01 BTC each so it's really no big deal.   LFC_Bitcoin, cicciobtc, CarlesPuyol or whoever's active in the gambling board, do you guys wanna help us out and escrow?  Thanks.

And congrats to the top 5 in our betting pool.  Maybe somebody should calculate their percentages of winning and lay odds on them.  It would make for another interesting side bet.  What do you guys think?

Yeah, I'm ok with any of the guys to escrow the bet.
Anyway it is up and running as soon as escrow show up I send the coins  ok ?
Hehe I'd wish I was a good tipster, probably losing this bet but is for fun

[hilariousetc]

Is the BBC site working ok for everyone now? I never had a problem accessing it but only one person has posted their predictions in the Games and Rounds thread so I'm hoping it's ok for everyone.

[Wendigo]

It's for me and has been working fine since the start of the week. Over the last weekend there was an outage though.

Yeah it's been working well, I will start predicting the match for this week.
Good luck all

So guys how are you today, most of games are finished, it was some nice results, i just wanna to thanks Everton for this awesome comeback, and i hit that 2:1 correct score for them

I had Man City at 4-0 and Swansea at 1-1 and they both had a late goal to screw me over. Had another couple of other close ones but can't remember what they were off the top of my head and the predictions haven't updated yet. Not sure I ended up with any correct scores after the late goals .

I was so close with City, 4-1, but still no goal for CP, sad story for them. Also Man Utd with 0:2 but, they are delighated with only 1 goal..nvm waiting for Looserpool to win 2:1
Good luck

Same with me, had Man City at 4-0. This week results are certainly better than last week. Last week i got only 30 points but this week i produced better result.

[BitcoinSupremo]

This was a great week for me, right on 5-0 Man.City and 2-1 Everton plus all other teams won. So far this is the best week for me with 130 points so far. Cool not posting my predictions, I am having better luck since I am not showing them in the games and rounds threads. This competition gets more and more better and intense, glad to be part of it. The emotions we are feeling until now are much bigger than a mere 0.01 btc entry fee.

That was my only exact hit too. I had myself over-excited when Liverpool got themselves into 2-0 but I should have known better... I tipped both Manchester teams to draw tonight, 0-0 would have got me a nice score so lost points there, bloody Lukaku!

And well done to Stephen for temporarily dethroning Ajaxmoor... did he forget his picks? Quite a few predictable wins tonight, or did he also try to guess wild outcomes?

I had hoped for another Swansea win, but predicted them on the exact opposite 2:1 outcome. Blah.

@BetAdviser, I'm always waiting for Liverfool 3-0. Almost had it but they HAD to score 4 against Arsenal!

I got 1 correct score from the Manchester United match and got 5 correct outcomes.  Only 2 incorrect predictions from the Liverpool match I thought Leicester can pull another upset and the one on Burnley.

[Here4Trades]

My week sucked once again ... I think I'm bad at soccer predictions I guess.
Anyway we'r still looking for an escrow with tokeweed any one can help us with the side bet ? thanks guys.

[tokeweed]

I'm ok with doing it without escrow if we do a pledge that if one of us doesn't pay, we allow hilariousandco to put red negative trust in our BCT account.  What do you think?

Count me in bro, we already got this up and running   now I hope Lukaku makes it two years in a row.
Normally I would think that is purely unluck  but not been familiar with the Premier at all has gotten me at the bottom of the table.

What is going on? I think all the participants here have paid.

I think all soccer games have the same system in every country and I know English premier league is the most popular league, what makes you unfamiliar with English premier league?
BTW, are you not doing predictions for round 6? I also did not make predictions in round 5
