Congrats to all 22 prize spot winners!

22 prize spot? I thought it's 20.

I have placed 12th. Very happy as in the middle I was not even in the top 30. Brentford fought well. I was not too brave to go for Brentford to win but I had the feeling that they will have a good match hence I went for a 1 - 1 draw for them.

Congratulations everyone who were able to win something especially the top guy who won a massive 0.1 BTC! It's was a good investment of only 0.0025 BTC.

hilariousandco, I know you will need the winners btc address, here is mine: bc1ql847ly3a0kaw6zhscc686a3lv7ve98qgay8422

Looking forward to the next season. All eyes are on the CL pool now.

I thought it was 22 but anyway 20 is great,so you at the 12 place is a great achievement as I know from you posting here that at a certain point you wanted to put all predictions before in the middle of the season and leave it be,so glad you came back and won a 0.005 Bitcoin.I am a bit disappointed as I thought I would keep my 11th place before this last round but strange enough most of the people did extremely well here during this last round and I honestly did not expect that.

Anyway hilariousandco here is my address: bc1q9u8xfrvk0h3ahcpjuk77kmnx75ar0wuapmm7xr

Congratulations to Mitchr, I believe that Everton's survival was unexpected by the opponents. Everton has now become the master of the forbidden zone internationally because for three consecutive seasons, it has managed to escape from the crocodile's mouth.

I was able to achieve 10 points in this round, but they were not enough to climb to the top, knowing that Manchester United spoiled my multiple tickets.

[famososMuertos]

The Arsenal got all goals in this last match, It is very thrill!  (sarcasm and I'm a fan of Ars.)

Congratulations mitchr4, + everyone who made ITM.

There's a saying; no one remembers the seconds but surely in my case yes, congratulations, you made the finale entertaining and also those who were disputing the 21st place, Mr. Bubble. 

[KTChampions]

Big congrats to mitchr4, the champion for 2022/23 Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool.

I join in the congratulations and many thanks for the screenshot! My application is still processing the results and I can't even view them myself.

By the way, can anyone give a link to the distribution of prizes? I don't even remember what we were fighting for 

hilariousandco thank you for opportunity and here is my address: bc1q0cahcke77x2pvcy59p5kuppyjryz5y8a23qe20

[ILuckyGuyI]

It has been a great pool and I totally enjoyed it. Maybe I could have done better than this placement but it still feels very good to finish in top 10.

It was a really dramatic ending to the season in the relegation area by the way. If Everton didn't win against Bournemouth they were going to find themselves in the Championship. But they did it again and clinged to the Premier League. But this can't go on like this for Everton. They have been horrible for two seasons. The only thing they can do is to postpone their relegation now. If nothing changes next season also then I think they might not get this lucky again.

[cryptofrka]

Well done Liverpool, it takes some skill to concede 4 goals against freaking Southampton.

Congrats to the winners (and sponsors and organizer ofc), can't wait for the next season

[mitchr4]

Thank you guys!

It was a very long game, we didn't expect we were at the end of this tournament. I really don't think I could be at the top, even though in those 38 rounds I never had a week winner but I'm happy to be in first place. Facing darbit at the end of the competition made me very nervous because only a few points difference, then we caught each other and overtaken several times in the top position.

Anyway congrats to the winners, see you next season.

@hilariousandco , PM you my address

[casperBGD]

congrats to winners, especially top2 mitchr4 and darxiomi, it was a tough fight between the two for almost half a season

didn't make it to paying spots, but in the end, pretty happy since Everton will be in EPL next season
see you all next season, looking forward to it

[hilariousandco]

Congrats to all the winners. Please PM me your addresses and I'll get the payments sent out this week.

[Betwrong]

Recently, I didn't win 1.55 mBTC because of only one wrong prediction:

This one was rough. Tottenham should have won that one. Just wondering this but how many tries have you gotten before you were this close on winning a betslip with over 100x odds

It's 155x actually. How many tries? I can't say for sure, but I feel like it was around 80 tries. Maybe a bit more, but definitely less than 100 tries. During those tries I won 100x once, so overall I'm in profit.

Also recently I won this free bet



which wasn't 100x, but due to the stake amount the profit was nice.


Congrats to all the winners in the Sportsbet's BitcoinTalk Pool on Superbru!

I finished 43rd myself with 287.0 points scored, so I'm really impressed by your results, guys in the top 20. Enjoy your very well deserved prizes!

[slaman29]

Oh well, rdbase and swogerino, indeed it was Manchester City who let me down, but still, it makes me think I should add more games where I have no knowledge. I even picked Hertha Berlin and it made me almost as much as the multibet if it won!

Congratulations to all winners in this pool. I feel like I should have done better but in the end, teams like Brighton and Brentford kept defeating the chances of others, and most of us didn't agree.

According to this post, there are actually 18 prize spots, so I actually won something, my fee back!!

Could I suggest updating OP for future seasons

Lets try to get 60 so we can have top 20. A couple of people have said they will pay so we should hit that. Any additional places will now just go towards a prize for the highest overall yellow cap (the highest weekly round score for those who haven't played before).

[buwaytress]

Pretty much a season to forget for me, but thank you Harkorede for remembering and paying out our side bet (have to admit, I didn't remember it, so anyone who knows I took sidebets and lost, please remind me heh).

Hard to imagine that at that stage of the season, we were both expecting great things from Spurs and Chelsea, only for them to both implode with some stretch of imagination. Spurs finishing above Chelsea, yet in ways we did not foresee.

@casperBGD Not bad for Everton, in the past 30 years, 3 great escapes on final day, and 2 on second-last day, at least. The team with the most battle-scarred history, and second-most consecutive stays at the top. Have to give credit where it's due.

Ready to do battle with you bastards once more next season. Luton Town for Conference spot, anyone?

You have older update. This is what I found and it seems it's the latest.

Bump. Still time to join but will not accept new users after this month ends. Just make sure your picks are in on Superbru and you can join up until the end of the month.

Still time to join:

If anyone wants to play there's still time. If you have your scores in on Superbru they will carry over to the pool once you join, but if you haven't Superbru gives a certain number of 'default' picks for those who miss games. Currently you will have 5 points automatically which doesn't seem like a lot but it's only three less than what I got this round  .

Here are the final payouts:


1 0.1 (£1910)
2 0.05 (£955)
3 0.04 (£764)
4 0.03 (£572)
5 0.02 (£381)
6 0.015 (£286)
7 0.014 (£267)
8 0.013 (£248)
9 0.012 (£229)
10 0.011 (£210)
11 0.01 (£190)
12 0.005 (£95)
13 0.005
14 0.005
15 0.005
16 0.0025 (£47)
17 0.0025
18 0.0025
19 0.0025
20 0.0025

Any additional money will go to the highest overall weekly scorer at the end of the season so there's still something to play for right till the end.

@hilariousandco, may be we can update first post of this thread every year with the prize details.

[Omikifuse]

Should I send my address through DM? I would prefer not use the one in my profile since I don't know if I have their private keys and I sent the fee from an exchange, therefore if you just send it back I won't receive it.

Also this was a good season for a first competition, I made some last minutes changes in my predictions that cost me the 3rd place and took me some time to get some good strategy for the exact scores, but a top 5 is more than good.

Waiting for the next season.

I wonder what the odds would have been for the likes of Brighton, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Man United to finish well above both teams that we picked, who could have seen that coming huh ?

I literally should have back Arsenal, but I didn't see Chelsea sacking Thomas Tuchel that early into the season, so it's all good, let's look forward to next season.

last two seasons were really harsh, fight for relegation, although last season we slipped down in last quarter, and this season was all about fighting to avoid relegation
there was a tweet, if you are constantly above the line, Championship will eventually pull you in, so hopefully we will have better next season, but it all depends on strikers, we simply cannot play without any 

onwards to next season, this one was not good for me at all

[CLS63]

Pretty much a season to forget for me, but thank you Harkorede for remembering and paying out our side bet (have to admit, I didn't remember it, so anyone who knows I took sidebets and lost, please remind me heh).

It came to my mind when I saw your post that you will pay my entry fee for next season. Besides I also need to make a 1 mbtc payment to swogerino. I was thinking at the beginning of the season that Manchester United would finish ahead of Arsenal. It is funny when I look at it now.

[buwaytress]

@Harko: Brighton probably wasn't that great odds to finish top 6, but Newcastle top 4, yeah I suspect that would have snagged at least 20/1. Didn't see Tuchel also but didn't drop my jaw either. With or without, Abramovich, you can win everything and still lose your job there. Ruthless.

@casperBGD: Wasn't too long ago when I remember some amazing vibes that even I felt good about, DCL frontlining Ancelotti's triumphant emergence, best start ever to the league, etc, and getting a tough point from us while sitting pretty. Rewind back even to Koeman and Lukaku (personally the best Everton I remember of post Moyes era) and you wonder why they do this see-saw so much.

@CLS63: Thanks for the reminder, and I'll always make good on my bets. I'll pay for your entry next season

that start with Ancelotti had great vibes, but with Moyes were the good days, and he actually came in season when Everton was in a similar situation, and got us survival
interesting enough, few season in his managing Everton, we avoided relegation on position 17th (although much less dramatic than last weekend), and Leicester and Leeds were relegated, as this year, and next season we qualified for CL spot, being 4th, history does not repeat, but often rhymes, Dean is a good manager, with good striker (Gyokeres would be great adding from Coventry), at least not thinking about survival is enough
