^ I'll let you off the hook starting at .0065 BTC but could go for slightly less, but as the season end gets closer and closer, the price goes higher.  

Anyway, just giving you an out for cheap, I'd expect you to do the same for me if I'm the one losing.  

But then again it's only two goals up.  Just post away if you decide on something.

Hum, I'd take the out @0.0040 =P , 40% is not bad... =P ..
I'm pretty much new to making bets like this but here is my counter offer.

There's no pool for the WC?

World cup? I'll set one up nearer the time.

---------

Yes, World Cup let me  know for that one and  count me in... won't mess with the PL at least for the current seasson, btw gratz and gl holding the 1st place.

[BitcoinSupremo]

If the entry fee is still 20 GBP for the World Cup I would love to be part of it of course. Even if it is slightly more I believe I will still join as of now there are 3 mining boards with 6 x RX 570 each working for me and some friends, so I doubt I will be out of bitcoin back then. Yes I have such boards but I am a heavy gambler so it is no surprise if I am out of bitcoin at a specific time .

I'll probably be sending out PMs for the V2 pool tomorrow so keep an eye out for that so if anyone want's to join there's still time. 20 players have signed up so far.

I confirm that I am there for both competitions, even if there is a lot of time left for the world cup!

[Here4Trades]

Good guys, see many ready for the WC, Ill be ready for some side bets as a well if im not mistaken is a 1 month competition full of action... I'm excited about 

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I will join in for the world cup pool but not going to join the other PL one.

Too low but would be willing to take .0055 BTC.  :p

But I think I have a good solution that would be fair to the both of us and it lets us continue with the bet.  Let's set the price on the dollar amount of when the bet was made.  It kinda saves us both from regret and we also get to continue on with the excitement.

What do you think?

Ziskinberg makes the best score of the week (150 points)
Hilarious increases his lead over the pursuers, he is now the big favorite!
Rickbig continues to climb the standings, now he is 7th.

[buwaytress]

Bloody hell, I knew I should have put my scores in this morning but was in a rush and only managed to get internet now but seven games ongoing without predictions. Maybe I can score outright wins on the remaining three games of the weekend and get 120, huh? And here I am always reminding people to enter scores before the week starts! I wouldn't have gotten more than 50 points anyway if scores remain the same now, the way the games look approaching half time.

Anyway, Liverpool trailing by a goal, Chelsea already look like they've booked their 3 points. I'm betting on 1-1 for all the Manchester City, United, and Arsenal games. Watch me blaze to 120 points =p

You should put them in asap. You can always change them later if you have time and right up until kick off. I got another perfect score on the Liverpool game but so many I just narrowly missed out on by one goal. Was winning with the 1-0 Watford win until Swansea came back to win with two goals in the last five minutes. Ended up on 60 points so far but hopefully I can get at least 30 points from the remaining three games but Man United are 0-0 at half time and I need a 3-0 win for that haha.

[BitcoinSupremo]

I did 70 points for this week so far with Newcastle correct score and 3 correct results, Huddersfield, Chelsea and Liverpool. Surprised that Watford lost at home today against Swansea but more surprised with Man.Utd draw.

I have learned to put games before week starts, so I am taking this opportunity to tell everyone to put scores for 1 January as soon as this week finishes tomorrow afternoon, starts a new one next day on 1 January.

[Mr. Big]

Just like old times...  I only got 30 points... What a worst week for me... Anyway, Happy new year everyone...

Well Watford were winning up until the last five minutes. Not sure what happened as I wasn't watching but maybe they just got fatigued. I think the games today will be interesting. Both Arsenal and Man City are away and to small teams but I don't think either game will be easy for them. Arsenal have been struggling away and Palace can be tricky and are fighting for survival just managing to get out of the relegation zone. Some people are even predicting a Palace upset. I'm doubtful of that personally but I don't think City will slaughter them like they have been doing with other teams (with the exception of Newcastle who they only beat 1-0 and I could see another similar scoreline today).

Everyone has bad weeks even those of us at the top, but getting a couple of good results can change everything. I was 100 points clear at the top last week but StephCurry has caught up again. Maybe he will go top again today.

You were right, it was an upset from Crystal Palace, well this was totally unexpected and I doubt anyone got a correct result or correct score for this game. Anyway time to put new predictions for tomorrow as soon as Arsenal game finishes about 2 hour from now.

Edit: Why can't I make predictions for tomorrow games, it says this round is now closed. Does it mean it will open after 12 AM new year tonight or tomorrow morning ?

[buwaytress]

Wow. I only managed to put in 1-1 predictions for the final three games, and all of them turned out to be draws exactly! So 60 points for me is a great return, even if most of you will have managed over 100.

By the way guys, the next game starts in two hours but I can't put in my predictions. BBC says the round will open soon. But I can't enter anything until tonight as I won't have internet (am on the road). Hilarious, if it's possible, can I enter my predictions here and scores manually added later on? I know it's a bit troublesome so if it's not okay, I won't complain.

If possible though:
1. BHA vs AFC Bournemouth: 0-2
2. Burnely vs Liverpool: 0-3
3. Leicester vs Hudderfield: 2-1
4. Stoke vs Newcastle: 1-2
5. Everton vs Man Utd: 1-0

[BitcoinSupremo]

I am entering them too here as I still got the message next fixtures will be available soon while only 1 hour to go.

REMOVED GAMES AS THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO PREDICT NOW.

I will put tomorrow gamest here too if BBC predictor is stuck with that message too.

[hilariousandco]

The games are available to predict now. The first game of the year starts in an hour but the next ones aren't till three so please try get them in on the BBC site to avoid confusion.

[BitcoinSupremo]

The games are available to predict now. The first game of the year starts in 35 mins but the next ones aren't till three so please try get them in on the BBC site to avoid confusion.

I already placed the games there now and deleted them from here in order to avoid confusion and also to avoid giving tips to other players. All games are available to predict in BBC predictor up to 4th January.

[hilariousandco]

Yeah, hopefully buwaytress got them in as well. 40 minutes to go till the first kick off.

[Mr. Big]
