Early thanks to hilariousandco for the pool, and the Euros coming too!
It has been a while since final match doesn't mean anything for Liverpool but perhaps it was always meant to be. Just the way Gerrard's slip paved the way for Klopp, so may a relaxed farewell prepare the way for Slot to slot right in.
We both know you will play everything. I like to start all the pools then about mid-season, I sort of half the number and give more time to those where I am doing good. Good result in one pool, pays several years of buy-ins to all pools so I think we are all deeply in the green. Even without counting the free bets.
I'm too dumb for my own good, but like I said and you agree: these pools are highly +EV. You only need to win one to pay off losing all of them for a few seasons, there's really no reason to NOT play in any. But I might do some adjustments like you say. See where I am mid-season, and then "neglect" the ones you're not in with a good chance.
Fair to say, I more or less neglected Bundesliga and F1 early -- but my FPL disaster is almost certainly my own fault.
I do find the competitions highly +EV so I've always played every season
This is the first season in which I didn't miss a single round and my results are great. I will walk away with ~5k$ in prizes so yeah - I'll be playing these for the foreseeable future.
The best R:R in the industry
It does seem so long ago when I placed in EPL, Serie A, and missed La Liga prize by half a point, so I could comfortably lose every season until 2028 or something and still be in the black. Just didn't expect to have such a fallow couple of years after that, but AFCON provided a very nice boost to my confidence.
Now I need to make sure I don't miss points by missing picks in at least 1 round. Happens every season, I blame Superbru as I don't think I ever forget, but there are rounds where somehow my picks weren't saved, so now have to make sure am in habit of checking on match day.
