Bitcointalk English Premier League Betting Pool v2.0 | Current pot: £420

[hilariousandco]

Since several users have expressed interest in joining the current bitcoin talk Premier League betting pool I have organised here we have decided to try open up a new one for any others that may want to join in but missed out on the action at the start of the season. This pool will be run in exactly the same way as the original one but will start officially on Round 22 of the Premier League games on the 1st of January 2018. This gives us about a month to drum up interest. To join the tournament it will be a flat fee of £20 in bitcoin which will be collected nearer the time due to fairness. The competition is similar to Skybet's SuperSix where you get 40 points for predicting the correct score and 10 for the correct outcome, but over all the games played that week. Points will be counted and tallied up throughout the season automatically via the BBC site and the person with the most points at the end of the league will win the pot. I will create a new league on the BBC's Premier League Predictor website and it will be separate but ran alongside the original.

What I'm wanting is for any players who are interested in joining to state so in this thread. If we can get 5+ players to pledge £20 in bitcoin interested before the end of the year then I will then create a new league.

Here is the current leader-board for the original and most seem to be enjoying it so far and there's a potential pot of of over 0.2 btc which will be split between the top five:



If you're willing to join and pledge £20 then please state so and we can get something up and running for all those who missed out on the original. I plan to do a tournament for every season so you'll all be able to join in the big league next year in the 2018/19 season.

Ha, not content with winning just the one prize? haha. I'll probably join in as well and I think I know someone else who will also.

Hello. I would like to join this game, it seems very interesting with a lot of players! I have some bitcoin to the amount needed. What do I need to do?

Just wait. Save the bitcoin and we will start collecting the money in later this month so everybody pays roughly the same price due to fluctuations. I'll PM all proposed participants nearer the time.

Not really sure what you're asking here, but no, it's not free to join. It's a gambling pool. I'm sure you can easily earn £20 by the end of the year from a signature campaign or in some other way. Feel free to create your own league on the BBC site though if you want to play for free/fun.

Count me in for a spot.
I am very interested in being a part of this when it does launch and I can do a payment near the end of the month as you propose to start collecting it.

Wonder if we can get more players than the original game? Spread the word as the more players = the more money for the winner(s).

I think I recall seeing this thread before, perhaps much earlier on V1. I see much more than 5 players already signing up, so I guess we can safely say that this is a confirmed thing. Please put me down for entry. Thank you! I am not a huge follower of the games, but I play fantasy leagues with my office mates also on a similar system where we all pay an entry. Not very sure how the system you use will look like but I think I can manage. Can I just ask what is the split of the 5 top players?

I'll add you to the op but looking at your feedback I hope you're serious and not just trolling. If anyone else is still interested please let me know. Not long before the end of the year but hopefully we can get 20 users involved for at least a couple of decent prizes.
