A bit confused !
When I go on my Superbru account I seem to be in 2 groups
- Bitcointalk - 13 players
- Sportbet.io’S Bitcoin.... - 26 players

Is anyone else experiencing this ?
Does it make any difference?

Just scratching my head a bit on this one !

I just checked now and I am only in the Sportsbet.io pool with 26 players and I think this should be the correct pool for the upcoming season which starts this weekend.Many people are saying we are now near 30 participants so this should be the correct one with 26 participants already.

Yep, I m in that pool , then I clicked an Invitation to join the other pool ??
I presume the Sportsbet.io pool is the correct one !

You should not have clicked that second invitation. That was easiest way for hilariousandco to let all previous participants know there is new pool. He even said that in a post in one of these threads.

I don't think it makes any problems. That sportsbet pool is a real one and this other one isn't used for anything. I am not sure if hilariousandco can delete it to avoid misunderstanding but it should not make any problems anyway.

I would try to stop multi accounting since it will complicate our pool and rules significantly. It also gives one other unfair advantage. You can lock your picks on one account and see what everybody else entered and then use that knowledge on your other account. Not so important in the beginning of the season but very important when the end comes near.

Yup, this is an advantage that should not be given to any user. Still - since anybody can multiaccount without us knowing I don't see a way of stopping it.

I see Liverpool, City as top two. Southampton, Fulham and Leads as three bottom team. 🤪

5/10 mBTC side bet on Leeds? I say they stay up, you say they get relegated? Gentleman's agreement, no escrow needed if you ask me.

[Mbitr]

Cheers @Trofo - all sorted I’ve left that pool ! I think everyone who’s in that pool will have to leave too.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Interesting.
I am going to check with Trofo too so let's make 2.5mBTC with you which will be on Leeds. If they relegate then I win and if not then you win. I trust you so don't need any escrow. Confirm me.

I'll take City side for equal odds any time.

So you are saying City to lift the trophy and I say Liverpool. If none then bet void. I am up for 2.5 mBTC on it too. Please confirm.

You are on. Are you ok if make it in dollars paid in BTC? Who knows what BTC will be in one year time and this way we keep it sort of stable I suggest 25$ which is almost the same as 2.5 mBTC at the moment. If you insist on mBTC that is ok as well. Just confirm once more so we are 100% sure of conditions.

I will put this bet as neutral trust on your profile. It is a good way to keep track of the open bets since I usually have a couple of them going on during the season.

Fiat puts me off 😜
Come on! just put the BTC in an address and do not use them at all.

I was thinking the same. Last time it was with Harkorede and he left a neutral with the reference link of the post and it was easy to figure out.

Guys I am confused with this side bets. Aren't we making 1 whole pot for Champion and relegation and winners take it all. Or you want bets just between 2 people.

I had this in mind initially but it seems Trofo and cryptofrka challenged me on their own choices. But I am still on for it if we have few more in it. I can risk 2.5 mBTC more.

[tokeweed]

@pamoldar: I'd do the sidebet but I'm also Liverpool and toke has lost his appetite for it heh.

Southampton, Fulham and Leads as three bottom team. 🤪

I'm might regret this.  Lol.  But tell you what..  I say Southampton finishes 10th or better and Leeds stays up, if either one doesn't happen, I lose.  Give me 4 to 1.  It think that's a pretty fair price.

Gogo?

And here's another prop open for whoever trusted or has a sig campaign is interested, 30 bucks says Aubameyang can score more goals than any EPL player of your choosing.

You are on. I take Salah as my punt. I have a feeling this will be a very close race and hopefully it will not be affected with injuries or something like that. Quote to confirm.

My side bet counter has started rising again

Confirmed, if Leeds are relegated you get 2.5 mBTC, if they stay up I get 2.5 mBTC.

And here's another prop open for whoever trusted or has a sig campaign is interested, 30 bucks says Aubameyang can score more goals than any EPL player of your choosing.  

Only for 1 participant or can I take this one as well? Another 2.5 mBTC says Auba not getting the golden boot. Confirm if you agree or say it's too much for you if you're not taking it so I can make another side bet with it

I'm saying Salah under 20 for the season. Wanna take another one?

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

I will pass on top scorer. Too much money to risk LOL

I'm might regret this.  Lol.  But tell you what..  I say Southampton finishes 10th or better and Leeds stays up, if either one doesn't happen, I lose.  Give me 4 to 1.  It think that's a pretty fair price.

4 to 1?
Too many on Leeds. I will probably already have one with cryptofrka but if he don't then I can go with you but the odd will not be 4/1 of course. I can go 1 to 1 like I had with Trofo.

Edit:

Confirmed, if Leeds are relegated you get 2.5 mBTC, if they stay up I get 2.5 mBTC.

Confirmed too.

@Toke, I pass man.

[tokeweed]

^  Np.  Everybody should keep in mind tho that I've been losing almost all of these props.  I won like one or two.  

And here's another prop open for whoever trusted or has a sig campaign is interested, 30 bucks says Aubameyang can score more goals than any EPL player of your choosing.

Lol.  No.  I could bet 7 to 1 for that at the books.  I'm doing this for fun.  I choose Aubameyang vs an EPL player of your choosing to score more goals this season.  30 bucks.

And the Southampton to finish 10th or higher and Leeds to stay up is open to anybody too.  Either one misses, I lose.  Give me 4 to 1.

rdbase just signed up. We have 30 users now but need another 4 to hit the target of 0.3. We should get that as I think there's 4 or 5 who promised to pay but nothing is guaranteed and I'd like to try get it to 40 users if we can.

That's 33 so far and it's looking very good. Only 7 more will make it a nice number of 40. I see some new names so far.

Assuming they all pay. There's always a few cock-teasers  . It would be really nice if we could get 40. The pool will have grown by ten members each year then. Seems a way away though.

Ok so...  If I buy another entry and just do the same picks over and over and get first, does my other entry automatically get second?  I'm def thinking of getting another entry or two with that overlay rn.

I guess so. I'll have to think about it. I wouldn't want someone having five accounts and then winning the top 5 spots but obviously it's risky having more than one account with the same picks because if you don't do good then you won't win anything at all. I'll listen to others opinions on it but it's not like it's something I could enforce strictly. Maybe we could allow it for this season and see how it goes.

I think we'll need to make things very clear and the decision unanimous in case somebody wins multiple spots.  We don't want any member complaining that it's unfair as it would break the rep of the pool.  I plan on buying two more entries backed with real identities just in case Super Bru disallows it.

Well I don't think we could ban a user from winning multiple prizes as that would kinda seem unfair as well if they paid twice. I wouldn't really mind a user winning two spots but it would obviously be a bit shit if one year someone signed up with 5 accounts and won them all. That would be hard to do though and you're probably more likely to lose with all 5. I guess we could try to discourage users signing up with more than one but at the end of the day there's nothing stopping one from being sneaky about it. If somone this year wants multiple shirts maybe just try recruit a friend and let them play whilst you keep the shirt.

I would try to stop multi accounting since it will complicate our pool and rules significantly. It also gives one other unfair advantage. You can lock your picks on one account and see what everybody else entered and then use that knowledge on your other account. Not so important in the beginning of the season but very important when the end comes near.

It would be easy to do this if you wanted anyway. All you need is a friend who's in the pool. If you're worried about cheating this way you could either not put your picks in until nearer kick off or put a fake score in then change it.

A bit confused !

I deleted that pool. It was the only way to message all previous users.

[DeathAngel]

40 paid players would be really cool, always a few cock teasers haha. I did wonder what was going on when I got an email about a pool being deleted but it was the old one

Anybody who posts in this thread who hasn’t paid should get their post deleted. No desecrating the thread with sig spam from non-payers.

[slaman29]

Just went in today to make my picks but I still see a red "clock" logo next to all of our names, is there something we needed to do? Because I'm also in another pool and I don't see those symbols appearing.

I went for one or two draws, but mostly favorites:)

So it's left open to cheating...  Could we at least know and let every participant be aware of who has multiple entries and how many, who brought their friends to join the pool and who entered the pool without a BCT account?  It's only fair imho.

And with jeremypwr, the guy who brought the sponsorship money, saying he prefers one entry per account...  I won't be buying multiple entries.

I missed this one.  It's on!!!

And anybody want to take on my Southampton to finish 10th or better and Leeds to stay up prop?  Either one misses I lose.  Give me 4 to 1 but negotiable.
