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

[tokeweed]

This sounds awesome,

where are payments made?

Money will be collected in nearer the time of the start of the league so everyone pays the same and there's no issues with fluctuations etc. Are you in?

Great project! Joined.

I'll join the lower end of the bracket. So either £25 or £50 if you decide to do the latter. Hopefully, over the entire season I do better than I did in the World cup...

Why not tell the other Chipmixer guys to join up?    I'm pretty sure 50 GBP is nothing for you guys.  Lol.

Anyway, it's nice to see more and more people gambling a bit and having some fun. 

It's not much for anyone on a half decent signature campaign to be honest. You could probably make your money back on Chipmixer just by posting in the discussion thread throughout the league as well though. good fun either way and a decent chance of making some money.

Yeah I know...  I was just goading him to let the rest sign up.    

I mean it would be cool to get this thing to have 50 players or so...   And who knows, if it gets really popular maybe some sports betting site or something 'sponsors' the pool by adding some money to the pot.

I like your style toke, be good to get the prize pot up to £1,000 or something

I heard they prefer to spend their money on private jets, and parties in hot tubs. I guess if there were higher stakes at hand they would come flooding in!

This is why I have a love/hate relationship with bitcoin.  I will always support bitcoin obviously but it can be quite annoying when you get paid in bitcoin and the price plummets %50.  Of course the opposite can happen as well and it can rise %50.  The price we pay for being early adopters I guess

The current price of Bitcoin has no bearing on me whatsoever. In fact, I've gone several months without checking the price a few times before. I normally got my updates from the forum when users were panicking. I care about the value of Bitcoin rather than it's current price.

I'd like to say I am! 25$ isn't a bad price at all, seems like good fun, It's just a score prediction right? each match day predict scorelines?

When do you need to know by?

[hilariousetc]

Yes, you predict the score and get points for the correct outcome (win, lose, draw) and much more points for getting the correct score exactly right. I will PM everyone nearer the time about payments but it will probably be a week or two before the Premier League starts. Hopefully the bitcoin value will rise again during the tournament like it did last year and we'll end up with a nice bonus for the pot.

There's 20 users signed up now so that should be a £500 pot assuming everyone pays. Should be able to get a fair few more users before the start of the season in august so spread the word.

Awesome, thanks hilarious! It's going to be "painful" for me to wait a month after WC2018 for another chance at the pool pot. Haven't done well in either, looks like will end below the middle again but I see quite a few new players at the WC pool, be nice if every single one of them also joined up EPL, though understandable that not everyone follow the English league. I saw OP and it says five of us also signed up for the bigger 100-pound pool, so hopefully that's 2 pools to participate in. Allows for strategy mix. I like.

Wolverhampton Wanderers will have a crypto-related sponsor in the new season, btw. Sign of the times that the EPL has a sponsor in the industry.

Really? That’s interesting man!
I’m looking forward to the real football too
Liverpool tickets go on sale to members week commencing July 16th so I’ll be in the online queue getting as many as I’m able to. Annoying sometimes, you see certain games getting sold out whilst you’re still in the queue. I usually try to get 8-10 home games per season.

[tokeweed]

^  Yup...  They said it was Mark Karpeles.  He's using his secret stash and wants to promote his new exchange Mt.Gox 2.0.  Lmao. 

Imagine that beauty on a football shirt... 

Seriously, who's the sponsor?  I hope it won't be from those Bcash shills which I'm 99.9% it would be.

[panjul07]

I'm in for the £25

[tokeweed]

Oh my god!!!  buwaytress, I got it...  I think I know which 'crypto related' sponsor the Wolves are having.  DASH!  LMAO!  

I heard they could have about 4M USD a month just for marketing alone...?  But it would be fun to see the Wolves fans have a scam (basically) on their football shirts.  

[leowonderful]

Haven't checked in on this thread in quite some time, but I'm just letting you know that I'm fine with a £50 joining fee- really isn't a problem for me even though I don't have access to my main cold wallet atm, though I should regain access by early August. I'd go in more if I weren't so bad at sports betting and sports predictions in general, haha. I'll get some practice here.

[buwaytress]

@LFC and tokeweed, sorry didn't see your queries here haha. But the "crypto-related" sponsor is just CoinDeal. I've heard of them actually, but never tried. Euro exchange, Cyprus based. Not the sort of Binance crypto exchange for trading and more like a buy and sell exchange, small player I suppose but the fact that they'll be on billboards and matchdays... that's pretty big to me.

You can see the new jersey here: https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/club/20180704-wolves-unveil-coindeal-as-shirt-sleeve-sponsor/

[tokeweed]

^  I'm thinking about ordering an away Wolves kit actually.  I love their logo.    But too bad they switched to Adidas from Puma.  I looove Puma shirts, esp. the BVB and Arsenal shirts, even tho I love laughing at the Gunners, I love their shirt.  Go figure.  

But just the Wenger era tho.  Lol.  I'm excited to see that Emery can do.

Just seen this.

Awesome, every little helps as far as crypto exposure to average joe goes.

[tokeweed]

^  Lol yup.  We need new liquidity to come in and get the market trending up again.  I miss the feeling of elation when waking up in the morning and seeing another ATH again.  

Anyway, bump.  We need more players in here.

toke relax about the price of bitcoin bro. Have a bit of patience for a few years & HODL. We’ll see $40,000 - $50,000 per bitcoin 6-12 months after the next halving.

When exactly is the next halving anyway, 2020 I believe ? Anyway there are at least 25 players in here and that is almost the same number as we were last year, I am sure though there is room for more people here as this competition does not take much of your time, you only set your games once in a week or 2 sometimes and then you watch the games. It is not as tiresome as the WC pool was. The brain works better in such tournament so here chances are higher for a win.

[BitSat]

I am also in for £25

[LTU_btc]

There is one month until the start of EPL season, so I'm sure that we will get some more players. Personally, I'm not expecting to reach top 5 because I'm not following EPL very closely. So, it's just for fun. @hilariousandco, it's sad thay you don't organize prediction pools of La Liga or Champions league
