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

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Hey boys, sorry about the no introduction thing. I kinda put Bitcointalk on pause during the summer.

I'm Croatian, Trofo is the guilty one for me being here. I'm really passionate about football, huge LFC fan since 1998, didnt miss more than 5 games per season from probably early 2000's. I watched all that Hodgson crap as well, that's probably the biggest proof of love I ever showed to anything in my life

Happy to be here, this round was good for me but I started horribly too. We'll see how it goes

Welcome to the Liverpool dominated bitcoinTalk thread (I guess 🤪). Can I get shout out from Liverpool fans please? LFC_Bitcoin!
F off City supports 😛 (Joking)

LFC fan since I started to understand football 🙂

You really had an amazing week with all those points in superbru. Well done brother.

3 more points for the mighty red men without breaking a sweat & back in 1st place ahead of the international break....just like me in the pool

I didn't realise there was an international break. Boring.

Top five highest scorers so far:

cryptofrka 16.5
hilariousandco 14.5
Sojourner 14.5
BitcoinSupremo 13 tied
hahay 13 tied

I'm sure these will all be usurped by much higher scores as the season progresses so don't be disheartened. Everyone is still in with a chance of winning the top prizes as well.

If anyone wants to join the Champions League pool who haven't already signed up please state your interest here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5154317.0

Money will be collected early next week and it'll be around £25 again.

Is it only highest (winning) scores for each individual match week?
I scored 16 in match week 4. Does it only count for the match week leader?

[cryptofrka]

Wait, what? There's a reward for that too?

Yes. I've just been counting the 'yellow caps'.

Yes. In addition to the main top five places there are 5 consolation prizes for the highest scorers in a round so even if it becomes apparent that you're unlikely to win a top spot you're still in with a chance of winning something:

Main prizes (minus any fees if there's not enough to cover it):

0.04 1st
0.03 2nd
0.02 3rd
0.01 4th
0.005 5th

Consolation prizes:

0.005 1st
0.0025 2nd
0.0025 3rd
0.0025 4th
0.0025 5th

do we all have a chance to get this prize also? https://www.superbru.com/premierleague_predictor/prize_jackpot.php

[hilariousetc]

Yes. Why wouldn't you? Though the odds of winning one of the cash prizes are astronomical, especially when you consider only one person from the entire site can win each so even if you managed to get the correct scores right if someone else did and they have more points than you overall then they will win. Pretty shitty but I guess they can't afford to send prizes out to everyone who gets them right.

[cryptofrka]

@hillariousetc why do these rewards differ from the ones in the 1st post?

Not sure which ones I should be looking at.

Those are the prizes from the previous pool. I'll update them later.

finally I got a good explanation, cause the T&C are not so clear
tnx!

Near impossible to win those prizes. If anybody really thinks they have a chance of winning them they should put £1 or $1 on their predictions every weekend because if they get the top prize it will be a lot more than £50,000. I can tell you that for sure

of course it is, but here I see this opportunity as a lottery, and the possibility of winning is equal too

Yeah, I wouldn't put money on those sort of odds but just see it as a free lottery. Your odds of winning the lottery are astronomical, but people do win it and as they say you've got to be in it to win it. It's not like you have to do anything extra anyway and it's just there in the background. Would be cool if someone from here won something though. You never know, someone might get lucky. I wouldn't even think about it though and just concentrate on doing your best in the pool. It's why it's worth taking the risk with some picks though as there's always going to be some upset or crazy score nobody sees or predicts but that's half the fun.

Meh...  And I locked my picks early again.  Lmao.  Could be bad for me...  But club results tend to become a little unpredictable after international breaks (so could be good.  Lolol).

Common LFC join the Champions league to

Yep!  Joiiin!

Yeah man join.

Let's hope that this enormous peer pressure will outweigh your LFC related superstition

[tokeweed]

Locking all my picks except one...  United vs LCFC.  I can't decide if I go 2 - 1 or 1 - 2.  I mean with 4 core players doubtful (Pogba, Wan Bissaka, Martial, Lingard), this match could go Rodger's way.  But really?  Another loss at Old Trafford??

Edit:  Draw no bet is at 3.24 at FJ...  Could be higher at Nitrogen or Bitcoin Rush.  Hmmm... 

[Mbitr]

Time to get thinking again. 
Totally agree with tokeweed , really tricky match to predict - Man U v Leicester, gonna leave it until last minute on that one. Heart says one thing and head says the opposite!
Good luck all

It will be close. I was thinking about a draw but I think United should win it, but I'd like to see Leicester do well again and challenge for the league. They're in third place right now so who knows. Doubt we'll ever see anything like that again but I think that season of the PL was the most exciting in the last ten years. I have United to win on my accumulator though so would rather they win but I'd be happy with a Leicester win as it's always nice to see United lose especially at home.

I've gone for a lot of draws this week but I might change some. Brighton/Burnley, Sheff/Southampton, Wolves/Chelsea, Bournemouth/Everton, Watford/Arsenal & Villa/West Ham are all hard to call.

Don’t forget to pick your results after the eu qualification pause, I found an interesting promotion on sportsbet.io https://sportsbet.io/promotions/bitcoin-drop-this-sunday

Liverpool - Newcastle, my favourite for this weekend, my opinion is that Liverpool will win with a lot of goals scored but not with a clean sheet

Good luck to all
