Bitcointalk English Premier League pool betting Discussion Thread

Well, that's it: game over. Looks like I'll probably have second place as I only got 50 points which takes me ten above Steph as it stands but I'm sure he got more than ten points this week (unless Cicciobtc or Supremo1 got freak scores). Didn't get any correct scores but narrowly missed out on perfect scores by one goal on the the Arsenal, Palace, Man United and City games.

I end up with 100 points on the last match day, lookinh forward to BBC table when they sort out that shitty bug.

Hmm, looks like we might be tied on points as I should be on 3150.

[BitcoinSupremo]

I already said , it is 50 points for me this week, just like you, so no freak scores. I hope to keep 5th place as if the sixth place had 150 points I am out of the 5th place. Anyway I highly doubt that anyone made 150 or more points, the results were not as expected at least most of them with Tottenham result I am sure no one had predict it correctly.

Well done to all you Top 5-ers! Guess we'll have to see how it all ends up still with BBC a bit wonky.

Liverpool still managed to upset me by scoring an extra goal to make my 3-0 prediction only worth 10 points. I have no idea how the scores really are though, as my personal weekly table has never really showed the correct score, but meaningless at the end of the day. Top 10 finish but I think I blew out of steam mid season. Too many gambles didn't work out, especially when predicted shock draws/losses correctly but not getting the exact scores right.

@hilarious. The WC pool I'm thinking off is more like a knock-out contest, as in, you can only select 1 team per round, with points awarded each correct team selected... almost like a survivor contest except you still get to play each round. I'll work out the details later but if it gets too complicated then I'll opt for a simpler version.

The table has been fine for me as far as I recall apart from the last few rounds after they put the warning about the errors but no idea what my true score is now. I should be on 3160 it seems after my 50 points are added but on the results it shows 3140 which would put LFC above me if he's actually on 3150. Hope the table sorts itself out.

I'll wait to the table updates and try contact the BBC if there's still some discrepancies and see what the correct scores should be. One thing for sure is that Steph is almost certainly the winner  .

[BitcoinSupremo]

Oh and I forgot to mention that I am the proud owner of the best score of all the season in a single week with 210 points, unless someone did 220 right now which is hard to believe for me considering the scores. I am already looking forward into the next season of Premier league

@hilarious - Let’s just see what happens with this table when they remove this messate -

Due to a technical fault, some players might notice errors in their scores when viewed in Predictor league tables. We are unable to correct these errors before the end of the season. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please note your data and scores will no longer be available after the 23rd May 2018.

If I’ve finished joint 2nd I’m happy but a little disappointed too that I only sorted my shit out ij the last 3 match weeks. I had a terrible month before that.

What are the prize pots again any way, I’m interested

Anybody C&P them for me?

I guarantee nobody had Newcastle 3-0 Chelsea too

[hilariousetc]

Yeah, I'll wait to see when the table updates.

Prizes:

1) 0.10
2) 0.06
3) 0.03
4) 0.02
5) 0.01

-------

So what shall we go with next season? Shall we go with both a £25 lower group and a higher £100 pot for the high rollers? Are the current top five all alright with the £100 pot? I think we'd need a minimum of five to make it interesting but I'm sure we could get at least five more before the start of the season. I think a lot more people will join both pools since this one was quite popular and there was quite a bit of interest in the v2.0 one that I never started.

I'll definitely do one or two consolation prizes for the highest points in a round as well so people still have something to play for.

I believe only the first one gets a considerable price amount in BTC, from second to fifth they get consolidation prizes while even the 2nd prize is still good. You sorted out last 3 weeks while it is exactly these weeks in which I lost steam and finished from 3rd to 5th or even 6th who knows.

For now I am OK with 25 Pounds while I will give an exact answer in the end of July beginning of August if I will be ready even with 100 pound minimum one time fee payment to join. Honestly it depends on bitcoin price, if the price is super high of 1 BTC, 100 pound will not be a problem for any of the participants who were part of this contest.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I’m ok with a £25 league of course. I’m ok with a £100 league, whatever. Be good if we could get 10 or so in that one.

[hilariousetc]

Table has finally updated:



Hopefully it's right but if you want to go though your scores and check let me know ASAP and I'll delay sending payments to the top five.

Othwerwise and as it stands prizes will be awarded as follows:

1) 0.10 - StephenCurry333
2) 0.06 - hilariousdandco
3) 0.03 - LFC_Bitcoin
4) 0.02 - Supremo1
5) 0.01 - Cicciobtc

I’m ok with a £25 league of course. I’m ok with a £100 league, whatever. Be good if we could get 10 or so in that one.

I'll message the top five when I send payments and see if they're in for the £100.

[BitcoinSupremo]

@hilariousandco
Thanks for organising and perfectly managing the most wonderful betting pool I have ever been in.
In whatever position I am, 4th or 5th, please send the payment at the address on my profile which is this one below

1P85HZEuM5pv82ZYWvXZJKcfCkop7a7kA

I am already OK with 25 pounds league and I will answer in a definitive way for 100 pound league only near end of July or beginning of August which means when we are near the league starting but chances will be high I will be OK with that too.

My 3010 score is correct as it is both in the table and both in results tab.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Yeah my score on the results section says 3150 but I’d be 3rd with that any way so no difference. Do what you need to do hilarious but I’m ok to go for payment now.

Whatever.

Whatever.

I think the real score is the one at results considering that it tracks all of our results and is being done by the correct algorithm. I think the table is updated automatically from the algorithm as it is created with a database (which in most of the cases is not error free if not programmed well).

I'll go trough scores tomorrow, it seems that something is wrong here.  
Well, I counted scores round by round at my result should be 2970.

I noticed hahay complained about this, what about others?
@hilarious if you want to check it i'll send you login details.

Where did hahay complain about it? Did you add up the total points it give you at the end of the round in the box or go through all the individual scores to make sure you'd been allocated the correct points to start with? I PMd Cicciobtc to see how many points he actually finished on but if you didn't get more than him then it won't matter anyway.

[marlboroza]

Where did hahay complain about it?

LOL I did not get points so far, all my predictions are "wrong". Maybe someone has it too?

Did you add up the total points it give you at the end of the round in the box

This.
Ah, I'll check scores to see if something is wrong there and update this.

edit
I was credited 60 points for 3 correct results in week 37. 
Still don't see how I end up with 2830 points, I double checked it now and it is 2940. Won't break my head too much over this, congratulations to winners.

[hilariousetc]

I think he's just complaining that his chosen picks are wrong and subsequently didn't get any points  . I'll wait for a response from Cicciobtc before I send the payments out but can the users in the top five PM me their address for if you haven't done so already.

Anyone have any idea about what to do for the World Cup? It's less than a month away so won't have much time do get something going.

My score so far is correct with 3010 points in both Results tab and in both the Bitcointalk league table. For the World Cup it would be great if you can manage to put something up for 20-25 pound , something like BBC predictor , I would be in then in this type of format. PM sent right now with address.
