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

[buwaytress]

Ha, City. You really are finished, aren't you?

Re pool sponsorship, time for hilarious to start flexing some muscle And if that doesn't flutter the hearts, yeah I'll still play. 1mbtc for top 5 prizes as igebotz suggests.

[BABY SHOES]

We already know ? he just announced that they couldn't find one  

We had 64 participants last season, and I doubt we'll have anything close this season owing to the current situation of things, since not everyone can afford 1mbtc or 2mbtc in this short time frame unless payment is extended till the end of the month. Join and pay later.

I think if there is no sponsor then having 20 participants is good enough, let alone a small League, let's say Ligue 1 has no sponsor then it probably won't work.

But people who like the Premier League they will definitely stick with it.

Arsenal have been good so far in this first half. I've liked the glimpses I have seen of Tzolis. MLS has looked ag jome in midfield,  Bruno has well been, Bruno. Exactly what you will expect from a player of his quality.
All together they look ready to win more trophies.

Arsenal 3 goals without reply goal, then Manchester City is a clown.
Did not expect that Arteta still maintains the original game, ahh if this is the competition is no longer talking about City but about Arsenal and Liverpool. Too ambitious for Liverpool.

I guess I could maybe start an auction for bids. I believe I may have done that in one of the first pools to get the first sponsor.

Shame if we can’t get a sponsor, makes it less attractive for sure. Is it just me or is sponsorship/sig campaign/advertising interest dying out since sportsbet.io left the forum?

Suppose it’s natural really as Bitcoin becomes more mainstream. This place used to be really desirable for companies to advertise. There are better places to spend money to get seen now.

No doubt, SB had a major impact on the sponsorship for pools and they made it a competition for other sponsors as well, I remember at a point where pool organizers had to pick between a multiple offers, but this season is a bit more complicated, especially with the world cup just concluding last month, and a lot of marketing budget surely went into that, even onsite campaigns were numerous, I believe they’re yet to fully get themselves back together, if you look at all the sportsbook themselves, you’ll barely find promotions that indicate that the regular league football is about to get underway.

I'm really excited for our first season without the pressure of not being able to get over the line hanging over our heads. There is the pressure of being champions and needing to back that up with a successful defense, but that's pressure we will welcome

I think we may have arguably the best midfield in the league now in addition to having the best defense when everyone is fit. The attack is not the sharpest yet but has enough quality to get goals. Tzolis feels after home in that area of the pitch freely drifting into the middle. Calafiori has the freedom to pop up anywhere and Ode really looked sharp, more like he was in his first few seasons.
If Saka hits form and we get another quality LWF (if Martinelli leaves), the team will almost be complete to compete again for all 4 trophies.

Now we have casinos that are only after deposits, run 3- 8 weeks sig campaigns, get as much deposit as possible, scam some and run away - not single one of them is ready to build a community or give back to the community like SB did over the years. Sad reality....

This line sounds familiar - we heard this last season and seasons before

SatRush.io Might be interested! Could share more details in PM?

True, this is difficult but it is likely that half of us will still be able to participate in the pools especially this is the EPL where the demand (in this forum) is still very large so I think this can still be forced in this increasingly tight time.

Losing Sponsor will probably make the euphoria a little less, it's just that I have high hopes that this pool will still exist.

Tzolis caught my attention with his performance in this match. This is his debut for an official match with Arsenal but 1 goal and 2 assists looks quite promising in the next season.

On the other hand, with this player Arteta can focus more on making their fast attack patterns balanced because Saka and Tzolis have above-average speed so that direct passes from midfield will not be too jomplang because both wings can balance their speed.

Seems like last season has made you forget the peak formnof saka from 22 - 24. Injuries and lots of game time caught up with him eventually,  we didn't have a capable rotation player in that wing for so long to give him some rest. It should scare you that we won the league without him on top form, if he does hit it this season it will be scary for other teams, like your team

I think wc probably drained a lot of money from the bookies, so now it is just harder to find sponsors. Rainbet, for example, sponsored a few pretty good btt pools during wc with decent prize pools, and Betcoin.ag also sponsored wc fantasy. So honestly, I think the reason might be much simpler than it seems.

I mentioned it sometimes ago that Saka was getting kicked more than he should, and that could a problem for him in the long run- he's one ACL away from turning into another Hazard ( not wishing him that, just saying)

The Premier is known for not protecting it's players; they let you get kicked until you have no legs to stand on.

It's already scary for the rest of us with new shinning toys ( managers ) after what I saw against Man City

Looks like we might get a sponsor after all.
But like I already stated I would play the Premier League pool even without a sponsor
Can't wait till the first 5 matchweeks in the Premier League are finished....only then will I get involved in late goal sniping since I need a bit more data.

I haven't heard anything about sponsorship yet and it kicks off on Friday. Shall we just play for fun this season and if we manage to get a sponsor just play for that?

I was curious about this pool, but sadly this season is having no sponsor, but as mentioned, if we can go ahead with low fees or just for fun, it's also ok.
Time is running out; just because of this, I am expecting things to be like this pool in the last few seasons, but still it's ok to keep alive and playing for fun. Hopefully someone will join for prizes in the coming days.

[hilariousandco]

Regardless of sponsor or not anyone can sign up to superbru now and your scores will carry over so just make sure you're signed up and your scores are in.

Some other pools started without sponsors as well, but with buy-ins.
I'd surely recommend that approach - otherwise if it's free to play 80% of the pool will give up after R10.

1mbtc at current prices seems cheap enough - how about that at least?

I agree with cryptofrka - let's make a buy-in of at least 1 mbtc.
If I remember right, the Euro 2024 pool was also without a sponsor but still had a lot of participants.

If I remember correctly, the first season of this pool was also without sponsors, just for fun. Sportsbet came later.
Even if it were free entry, it could be interesting.
It is probably necessary to define at least the basic rules for participation before the start of the season

btw. Sportsbet is still in the subject as a sponsor

[igebotz]

How about we play for potential 40-50mbtc instead of playing for free (since old participants are willing to pay a 1mbtc signup fee)? This is preferable to playing a full season for free.

If sponsors come in mid-season, that's good; if they don't, that's fine. I believe that if the place is active and things are going on, sponsors will come in easily; if they come and see it as it is today, it may not be as appealing for their business.

I'll still send in my answers in SuperBru regardless..
