Congratulations to the winners and I'm very happy with the 3rd place!

Admittedly, 4 times I had a yellow cap practically in my pocket because in the last minute a goal was scored or something like that, but that's sport. You also need to be lucky. Very stiff competition and great prizes. Thank you all and congratulations to @tomahawk.

ps - I am also interested in esports rather than football for some time ; )

 

[hahay]

I was just disappointed in myself, making the opposite choice in the last round saw me dropping and being overtaken by @kryptqnick. But yes, the tournament is still fun and I really like the competition, thank you and congratulations everyone, have a nice day for you all.

See you in another tournament next time!

47 total players in the pool and 28 players managed to get the Yellow Cap. 3 players win 3 yellow caps this season, 4 players win 2 yellow caps and the rest get it once.

So congratulations to all the top ten winners especially those in top three. Tomahawk lead out the pack and won the pool. There are alot of players with consistent performance that stays on top ten as well but Tomahawk overshadowed their achievement by staying on top ever since the 5th round

Hey, what's the process for getting the yellow cap freebet. Also when is the final raffle?

[leea-1334]

Congratulations to everyone for playing, and of course the heartiest to the winners:) I totally forgot I once won yellow cap,,, what an achievement for myself

A big season of disappointment for me and my team but the consolation is Conference League football and finishing above Arsenal. But London is totally blue this year so I have to live with this:)

See you all next season?

@Trofo & @BitcoinGirl.Club did you settle that sidebet of ours?
BitcoinGirl.Club lost to me and I lost to Trofo - so it's easier if BitcoinGirl.Club pays to Trofo directly.

Please let me know when it's settled.

I see that the user did not log on since May 23th but I already asked that we settle this prior to that (my first proposal was April 21st), what's the recommended behavior for this?
How long do I wait before flagging the account?

______________________________

@BitcoinGirl.Club one more reminder for this. I sent you a PM as well, this is the 5th time I'm asking about this sidebet.
I'd like to avoid all the drama so please settle the bet you lost.

It will be easier this way only if all three parties agree with this, until this happens @BitcoinGirl.Club owes you and you owe Trofo (and you cannot claim that you cannot pay off the debt because @BitcoinGirl.Club did not return the money to you). At least this is the ethics of debt...

I don't think the $ 100 debt is a valid reason for leaving the forum, so I'm inclined to think that BitcoinGirl.Club had another reason. In any case, you cannot leave him negative feedback for the reason that he does not owe you anything, (at least until Trofo does it first, thereby confirming the default on this debt).

Bitcoingirl.Club owes me 2.5 mBTC and he owes cryptofrka 2.5 mBTC. Crypofrka owes me 2.5 m BTC. Bitcoingirl.club already agreed to pay 5 mBTC to me as easiest solution. He even wrote that as neutral trust in my profile and there is some post about that here on the topic. Only problem is he went missing as the bets got resolved. Trust is here so we can use it, I believe that one month is more than enough of grace period before leaving red trust since it serves as a warning for other users. You can always delete or change it afterwards.

Thank you for clarifying all the details ... in this case, the cards are in your hands, and judging by your trilateral agreement, Crypofrka owes you nothing, no matter what the circumstances. Anyway, I am inclined to think that the $ 200 debt is not a good enough reason for offline, so let's hope that it will appear before the start of the European'Cship.

[cryptofrka]

I do owe Trofo, it was my bet to make. If BitcoinGirl.Club does not pay him, I will.

It will not make the situation for Bitcoingirl.Club any better though, the user will still owe 2x 2.5 mbtc, it will simply have to be paid to 2 users instead of 1.

[arallmuus]

Hey, what's the process for getting the yellow cap freebet.

You get the highest points for the round and you win freebets sponsored by sportsbet.io.

Also when is the final raffle?

What raffle?

See you all next season?

Im down for the next season if @hilariousandco arrange another one! I hope we can get sportsbet.io onboard to sponsor the next season as well. Getting some entry fee money back through the freebets would be great


@Crytofrka @Trofo @Bitcoingirl.Club

I hope you guys settle this issue asap. 5mbtc is merely $185 right now

[leea-1334]

Sidebets was always a trust issue, so agree,,, trust should be used to resolve this. But if I am not mistaken, this Bitcoingirl person has had several problems in the past supposedly with the account getting stolen before and then restored, and then name changed so it does have a certain history I would say is not safe. Sorry if you do not agree Bitcoingirl:)

[hilariousetc]

I sent payments to tomahawk, harkorede, fortebet, kryptqnick and hahay.

Isn't BitcoinGirl.Club famLFC on the pool? He came 7th so I he has 0.01 in winnings which I can keep hold of.

There's a raffle for all entrants to win a trip to watch one of the Sportsbet-sponsored teams. Haven't heard anything from sportsbet about it but will message them about it.

These small bets are ok if you trust the other person but issues can always arise and with the price of bitcoin able to double or lose half it's value within a month so it's a good idea to collect the funds in so people don't run into issue further down the line. Many people will have every intention of honouring their bet but just might not be able to if the price rises significantly or they run into some personal issues.

I strongly doubt he'd leave the because of such a ridiculous amount, I've had similar bets with him in the past, and I don't think it's his first bet with Trofo either, even if (supposedly) he were having difficulty paying out the funds I'm pretty sure he'd reach out to Trofo to ask for sometime (at least, that's what I'd do).

I sent payments to tomahawk, harkorede, fortebet, kryptqnick and hahay.

Received, Thanks.

Yes, he is... and that'd work too. And having double the amount he's owing lying here should also implies that's his absence likely doesn't have anything to the do with the amount he owes.

I really just hope he's fine and healthy.

Many people will have every intention of honouring their bet but just might not be able to if the price rises significantly

It probably would be best to just bet in fiat values, especially for these long term competitions.

[cryptofrka]

I agree with everybody, I wouldn't want to tag accounts for such small amounts. But then again, trust system is here specifically for this reason so was unsure how to proceed.

As far as I'm concerned, I'll give him/her time if they need it. They simply need to say so.

Having a reward from the pool higher than the 2 sidebets combined also gives more confidence in a fair outcome so let's wait a bit more and see how this evolves.

Thank you all, cheers.

[kryptqnick]

I sent payments to tomahawk, harkorede, fortebet, kryptqnick and hahay.

I've received my payment today, thanks a lot!
I hope the side bet issue will be resolved, and especially since the winnings didn't get sent to the winner yet, I guess it'll be alright.
I'll do my best not to miss the next EPL prediction contest as I'm very happy with how this one turned out for me. Thanks to Sportsbet and to you for organizing and managing it.

i remember him saying in another thread a while back that he didn't have time to post in the forum anymore which is why he stopped wearing a signature though he was posting very sporadically, but then he came back and applied to a sig campaign and started being active, but seems like he went awol again

I agree. And I guess especially with some users with past history of lapse in activity and also security issues,,, just to be extra careful. Personal life is always true for everyone of course but money has a bad habit of making things more difficult:)

Me too of course,,, he seemed always to have issues in the past and none of us like to wish someone bad but he needs to really solve his issues before taking on these things that can hurt him in the longterm.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Hope these side bets get resolved, they’re not for a lot of money. It’d be very disappointing to see them not get settled. I don’t want to have to start tagging people but I will if I have to.

I also hope these side bets get resolved as it would be a shame if they are not resolved.That is because everything went so smooth during the pool and it would be bad for these small amounts to not be cleared.

I also think that Trofo is right,one month is a long enough grace period for the users involved to clear everything in the best possible way,if not then the red tag will be inevitable I guess from DT members.
