Congratulations to Betadviser for the best score of the week (140 points).
Excellent score also for Rickbig (120 points) who continues to climb positions in the standings.
Stephencurry with 100 points raises his first place.
Unfortunately, Ajaxmoor loses many positions  for forgetting to enter his bets.

Tomorrow there are already matches in the Premier League, guys remember to enter your bets

When will I receive a PM on the instructions on the next thing to do?

Hilarious, I think we should def make everybody aware that the betting pool is closed.  Entries this late seems unfair and it's like we're conning people into getting the pot bigger, without even any chance for them to win.

I have already given up on the game myself and consider my entry a donation.

I've left it open so people can join in for the fun of it. I doubt anyone seriously thinks that they will win at this point but nobody is forcing them to join and I'm not going to stop people from playing if they're willing to pay. If Ziskinberg is mistaken I have no issue in refunding him if he so wishes.

in addition to the current standings we can make another parallel standings that will start from the 20th round (December 26, 2017) at the 38th  round(may 2018) of Premier League, dedicating a small prize (for example 0,03) that will win only one player.
So, all new players or those who are too late in the current standings can hope to win.
I can update the standings every week without any problems

Thank you, finally I participated in the game. Let's have fun though it's hard to beat those who are in the top.

[buwaytress]

Well then, welcome properly to you Ziskinberg, if you actually win a prize at the end of season, you'll have a lot more than bragging rights to show off!

Guys, don't forget we have games tonight and tomorrow. I almost forgot to put in my predictions, so used to cup games and Champions League/Europa taking over mid week. Ajax has missed three weeks or something, otherwise he generally is one of the bastards I pine to emulate.

@hilarious: you still want to do the champions league small pot for us gamblers for the last 16 to final? From us alone we can have >10 players at GBP20. Or we leave all that to next season plus World Cup? I bet this thread will have caught the attentions of a lot of people by now.

How about we do a part 2 league for the newcomers and anyone else who wants to join? We could start the part 2 one on the 1st of jan (edit or end of dec like you said) officially so we have a little over a month to get more players in to make it a bit more exciting for them. I'll create a thread later trying to drum up a bit of interest because I'm sure there's many more players who would like to join in but not if they have no chance of winning.

Yes, great idea!
so, we attract new players and this pool betting will increase its appeal!
you can count on me if you need help.

[ajaxmoor]

Was away yesterday and couldn't make any bets.

[BitcoinSupremo]

Another reminder from me as the Week 14 of Premier league is tonight and tomorrow night so don't forget to place your bets. One week with 0 points now can result fatal after the final standings. This week I hope to get some good correct results as for correct scores they look not easy again.

[BetAdviser]

Tonight and tomorrow we have nice games, so what you guys think?
Hard away game for UTD
Kind a easy game for Arsenal
Everton with new coach
Boring game against WBA and Newcastle
Tight match between B'mouth and Burnley
Goals at Leicester v Tottenham
Can C. Palace win again
3 points for Blues and Citizens but which correct score will be
and can Liverpool win without goal in their web???

[BetAdviser]

Okay, i guess this 10 points, which everyone get is from Man Utd

[hilariousetc]

Yeah. Looks like most people did pretty shit and a lot only got ten points including me. StephCurry managed to get 60, the bastard. Ziskinberg also got 60 points. Lets see how far he manages to climb up the table.

It looks like a lot of people forgot to make their picks (or they did really shit haha).

Hi I am interested to join the Premier League pool betting but before I send my entry, can you help me understand this? :

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

Everyone should receive a PM with it shortly.

_______________________________________________________________________________ _____________

After I sent the required amount in the address, what should I do to ensure I will be able to receive a PM?

Sorry, I was a little confuse, don't know how it will really work. Thanks

After you pay I'll send you a PM on how to join the BBC predictor site. It literally only takes a minute to sign up and is good fun even though you're very very unlikely to win anything unless you're some sort of genius tipster.

Quoting as well, and yup I'm confirming that the bet is still on from my end and that it's trust based.  But I'm willing to do escrow with hilariousandco or someone trustworthy.

And I'm still willing to let hilarious in on the side bet with his 'horse', Harry Kane.  Here4Trades if you confirm that it's also ok with you then we have a three horse race and an escrow.  

Aguero, Lukaku and Kane are still tied with 8 goals each.

http://www.soccerstats.com/scorers.asp?league=england

I got cold feet once he got injured but seeing as he's back now I guess I'll join in for a bit of fun even though I think Aguero will get it. How much is the bet? I'll send you an escrow address later.

.01 BTC.

But if you think it should be lower let's go for $50 worth of BTC?  Up to you, but I'm ok with it either way.  And if Here4Trades also agrees then let's go.  I just want a nice fun side bet going.

I've sent hilarious various messages in regards of this bet in the past months and never had a reply. I would prefer to keep it as it was at first 0.01 you'r Kun my Lukaku, also Kane is already @9 and wouldn't be fair for us. I really have sent more than 5 messages in regards of this bet.... is not like I'm a chicken here ... just to clear it.

Do you want to do escrow on the bet?  If hilariousandco doesn't agree let's look for one at the Services section of the forum.  What do you say?  As Bitcoin keeps rising and rising, I don't trust myself or you to keep on our word.

Hilarious, would you be willing to be our escrow?  It would really be appreciated.

Edit:  No offense intended on Here4Trades.  It's more for me than for him.

I can do if you wish.

I have started up a new thread for a 2.0 version of this one for any newcomers who want to join in: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2484329.new#new

I will transfer £20 of bitcoin from Ziskinberg's money into the new pot and he can then play along in both. If anyone else wants to start afresh they can also join in both leagues as long as you pay the £20. Spread the word so we can drum up more interest for further leagues in the future.

Some very valid points to be made for todays game.

Yesterday's games results outlined below:
Tuesday's action saw Crystal Palace draw 0-0 with Brighton in the first M23 derby of the Premier League era, while Tottenham were shocked in a 2-1 defeat at Leicester.

Manchester United beat Watford 4-2 to avenge last season's 3-1 drubbing, while Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham, Liverpool and league leaders Man City are all in action on Wednesday night.

Beauty goal by Vardy in the Leicester shocker last night. Up and over.

[Wendigo]

Aw yisss. Top score this week

Not to be a dick but this thread is just for those who have paid to play. If you want to play you can join in the v2 pool I told you about.

Aw yisss. Top score this week  

You didn't seem to move up any places though  . I wonder if anyone will hit a good winning streak of a few weeks and go straight to the top. Remember there's 400 potential points up for grabs every week.

Glad I managed to salvage 40 points from the games yesterday. I'm more confident about the weekend ones.

[buwaytress]

OK, so I did get Everton's huge win right, I felt the laws of football had to give them a comfortable win esp with new management but really did they have to score another goal? Also missed the mark slightly on Chelsea (made 2-0) and got the reverse score on AFC. So many close margins for so few points.

I have Liverpool and two Mo Salah goals off the bench to thank for giving me yet another 3-0 win, or I'd have ended the night below my weekly average. You know, if I'd made 3-0 correct score bets on Liverpool every game, I'd be up more than x10. Such is gambling, and may they give me many more 3-0s to come.

Congrats to Wendigo for winning bastard of the week.

New thread, new game? Of course I'm in. Who knows, maybe that 20 pounds there will also be 200 at the end?
