Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread

[tokeweed]

I totally missed a very important page of updates and somehow completely missed out the fact that hilarious had already secured a new sponsor. Which now makes sense to some conversations I'd been having where I felt I was clueless the past week. I'm so dumb. Seriously.

That said, well done @hilarious for that great work, but also thank you Sportsbet and co, I'm very glad that we got this rolling now. Welcome to the club of bastards @jeremypwr!

Pretty sure lots of new bastards will join up with that sponsor money coming in.    If they don't then there's a huge overlay which is good.

So has hilarious decided how much the entry fee will be?

Most chances we will have between 0.004 to 0.005 but still we have one month hopefully after end of Champions League all will be clear about this fees and other details.

[hilariousetc]

I can't say no to a free bet every week since that basically pays for itself even if you get one of those for the number of weeks in a regular season. Which can't be too hard to have it hit for each participant to achieve for a week.

Just to clarify: it's just the user who gets the most points from the week that gets the $50 free bet. It's not that hard to do and many different users got the yellow cap last season. I think someone posted a table of all the users a few pages back.

Probably between 0.004 and 0.0045 but I'll see how much that's worth when I post the thread. Bitcoin is down a little but I'm sure it will be up and down for a while. I'm trying to aim for £35-40 in fiat value though.

The Premier League kicks off on the 12 of Sept so it'll be a month tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow would be a good day to post the sign-up thread.

[webtricks]

@hilariousetc I didn't follow the thread for long but read your Sportsbet.io sponsoring post. That's a good news, really. So at which entry charges are we seeing consensus at? My vote is for 0.004 BTC per person. It's soft and good spot.

Other rewards are tempting too. $50 in free bets is surely something I would like to grab this season at least once. I already got my Watford shirt so maybe won't order another.

Agreed. Even I managed to get ONE yellow cap the whole 38 weeks and I need only repeat the feat to win it at least once, paying for the participation. It's almost a no-brainer if you know something decent about football.

Be interesting to see if there was anyone who didn't get any yellow caps. Looking forward to this a LOT btw!

I believe I am one of the those who never got yellow cap in this pool but I got several of them on Champions league pool so I hope hilarious will manage to get similar sponsorship for that pool as well.

This pool will provide higher motivation for sure so maybe I'll even do some research before the matches and not just pick everything by heart

I just check total 23 members won yellow caps and me never won in last season as well so now with this new sponsorship look like need to do some more work for 50$ free bet because very good deal for all members in this pool good work by @hilariousetc he is really doing great work for this pool from start.

I'll wait to see if the bitcoin price settles as it's gone down around £300, but it's still probably gonna be around £35-40 to join, but I'd like it to be at a nice round bitcoin-value.

big_daddy complied the table below. It's quite interesting. I missed out on the top 5 slots but had the most yellow caps. 23 players got a yellow cap and when there was only a little over 30 players that's pretty good going.

Ha. I've heard a lot of people tell me this already.

Most of the credit has to go to jeremypwr and Sportsbet for the offers. I just did my best to get the best deal for everyone. I'm sure this pool is going to make the upcoming season a lot more enjoyable for people   .

That statistic is missing a shared Yellow Cap, next time (next season) I will do a better one, cause Superbru is showing only one User per round    in that filter I've been looking at

[Indymoney]

Yes @big_daddy because I won two yellow caps one alone and one shared and this table showing my 1 yellow cap so this is missing I already check and today posting here after your post about your mistake.

[buwaytress]

^^There is no shared yellow cap as I recall, in the case of a tie Superbru goes head to head on past results to determine the yellow capper (right?)

And ah, 23 users from 30+ isn't too bad at all, pretty good to get so many in a season, actually, I'm definitely having a rethink of my strategy. For one, I will stop putting Liverpool down for 3-0 a lot!

It does show multiple yellow caps in the weekly table if one or more users grab them, but they do order them going by a specific formula so there will likely still be one user who technically did better than the other and that's how they're ordered. I'll have to have a think about how we award the free bets out if there's a tie. I guess we could either just give it to the user who is first by Superbru's formula or maybe just split the free bet between them. I'll have to speak to Sportsbet about how they want to handle that.

[DeathAngel]

I’m 4th in the yellow cap league, weird how I was so low in the overall table though. I guess my average week must stink haha. I will endeavour to be so much better this time.

[swogerino]

I normally am a slot player and if I don’t lose everything there like I usually do if I have something left maybe I will join this year.What is the price and when is the final date for the registration?Also are altcoins accepted as maybe I join as have some Ubiq left somewhere.

[hilariousetc]

What is the price and when is the final date for the registration?Also are altcoins accepted as maybe I join as have some Ubiq left somewhere.

The price will be around £35-40 in bitcoin (probably either 0.004 or 0.0045). Payment will be in bitcoin just to make things easier. I'm sure you can swap it for bitcoin easy enough either here or on an exchange. Maybe someone in this thread will help you out. As for the final date: There is none. You could sign up in the last round of the league for all I care. However, the season kicks off on the 12th of Sept so you probably wanna be joined up by then or you'll be dropping points. Some people did join up after the season kicked off last year but you're obviously at a disadvantage the longer you leave it. I will be creating the sign-up thread and taking payments over the weekend so everyone look out for that.

[swogerino]

I manage a few rigs of my collegues and they leave me 10% of the revenue every two months as a reward for my work.If I will have that amount by 12th September most probably I will join.You can put a question mark under my name until then.What I earn here with my signature I play it all in the slots but will try not to until 12th so I can join.

[tokeweed]

^  Rofl.  Just stay away from the slots for a couple of weeks and join us.

Make sure you join my friend, it’s not expensive & this thread is a real community throughout the whole season. It’s a little bit of a boys club so join in the fun

Just save the money rather than spend it. You have a little less than a month to try earn or save £40 which shouldn't be that difficult. There won't be any reservations or a list of names this time as once the thread goes live I'll be asking for the payment as well so you or anyone else will have till the start of the season to join.

[swogerino]

Ok guys you convinced me.This two weeks signature earning will go for the registration.I am in.I have always lost in sport betting that is why I started slots but who knows maybe in this tournament I will have the beginner’s luck and maybe I will not do terribly bad like I always do.
