Bitcointalk's FIFA World Cup Pool Discussion Thread

[buwaytress]

@LFC don't worry mate, just get home safe (you are home by now I hope!). I'm still nursing a heavy heart myself... just not discussing it with anyone. My kid keeps telling me the new rumours of Allison and all that but I really don't have the mood for it yet.

@tokeweed and BitcoinSupremo, allow me to "arbitrate". tokeweed won the bet (damn you toke, you sidebet winner), here's the reference I also recall:

World Cup, who can't wait?

Cool then let he post the Btc address so I can pay him within 20 June at latest but will be much faster than that.

hi, i want to ask about the world cup.
there you say the predictions for group winners 10 points, and runner up 10 points. does that mean here the stakes are predicting who will be the group winner and runner up? I think there is a prediction for every match that goes on, and not deciding the group winner or runner up.
please, explain to me
thanks

We're doing both the bracket challenge and correct score predictions then adding the points together.

Just under two weeks to go now before the start.

What is the last day to sign up for the world cup pool ?

[hilariousetc]

Well, right up until the tournament kicks off I guess, but if you want to join during the final game I won't say no  . I think predictions might have to be in before the first game starts on the bracket challenge on the FIFA site though. I'll probably start collecting money in late next week but people can still join in after that.

Cool thanks!  I'll make good use of it by losing it to the next guy.  Lol.

Ten days to go now. Will probably start collecting money in on the weekend so look out for that.

Pot is currently at £400 for the World Cup.

would love to take part in the world cup pot , please pm me or notify me when I can make the payment
this should be fun to see the different picks of the members as well , so hopefully we all end up profiting from the world cup 

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Oh fuck it, stick me in for the World Cup one. I’ve signed up & submitted all predictions, what are the links or codes for both of our leagues for bracket & score predictors?

Nice. I'll add you later. Should have a couple of mates joining as well.

Have you signed up for both predictors? I haven't created the league yet. I'll PM it to everyone after they've paid.

Yeah I predicted all of the group stage results (Match Day 1 - 3) & completed the bracket challenge which led to Brazil winning it for me.

Is that what I was supposed to do?

[hilariousetc]

I don't think it matters when you make the picks as you can join the leagues at any time before it starts I believe. I'll probably go with Brazil in the final but not sure whether I'll chose them to win it or not yet. I'll see how some of the best teams do in the remaining friendly games but they're all pretty much playing shitters so hard to really gauge, especially if they themselves do shit.

I think you only need to sign up to one website as there you can do both predictions, the bracket challenge and the predictor challenge but I am waiting for other people to see before submitting my data. I am a bit confused of how to proceed so I am waiting to make the payment and see how to proceed. I think a guide can be helpful. The Premier league predictor was very easy to do.

Fifa World Cup 2018 is one of the most exciting and biggest event for all the football fans in the year of 2018, and it seems that the World Cup pool have attracted many players to take part in it as the current pot prizes is very attractive now, I will just wait for hilariousetc to pm me the BTC address to pay for my entry fees to participate in the World Cup pool.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Will it be winner takes all or a staggered prize payout like our last one in the PL pool?

Based on how I understand the OP, hilarious said that it will be the top 5 who has the most points who will receive the prizes he also have mentioned about consolation prizes to the person who has earned the highest point during that week. The winner takes all format will be for the World Cup League and the consolation prize will depend on how many people will join the league. But I really wish it was the same as the PL which will award the Top 5 players of the Pool
