Please note: This thread is only for the users who have paid to play in the pool. If you're not involved and post in here your posts will likely be removed. Thanks.






The next Champions League tournament will be starting on the 18th of September 2018 and due to the success of the previous Premier League and World Cup pools I have decided to do one for the UEFA Champions League. The entry fee will again be £25 in bitcoin and the prizes will be distributed between the top five players who gain the most points. The actual prize amounts will depend on how many users join but all money in the pot will be distributed between the winners. We will be using the Superbru website to conduct the tournament and points are awarded as follows:



If you want to see how the tournament will be run please see the current Premier League pool here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4479837.0

If you wish to join up at £25 in bitcoin please state your interest below. Money will be collected in likely the week or so before the tournament starts.

A couple players have some concerns about the lack of 'privacy' in Superbru and want a predictor site like what BBC had.  I suggest somebody find a better site and suggest it to hilarious.

Tbh I really don't mind Superbru's lack of 'privacy' but I don't mind playing in a BBC predictor-esque site either.  I just don't want some players leaving the pool.

Edit:  Btw I'm in.

I used Champions league predictor on uefa.com website in previous seasons. So, we can try it if some people don't like Superbru. I'm only not sure is it possible to create closed leagues on Uefa.com.
But I don't know what is exeactly wrong with Superbru?

What lack of privacy exactly? I won't be changing site unless there's something much better. Superbru is likely as good as you're going to get though.

Let's go with this Superbru thing, I checked around and I found nothing better so count me in for the Champions also. I know I will not win here as I am not a big fan of Champions but I try.

I think some players don't like the fact that other players could see their predictions after the lock.  I don't mind it personally, but if changing sites helps keeping all the EPL pool players in to play the CL pool, then I guess it's the better move.

But your decision is final, and I'll still play using whatever site anyone wants.

Watching this.
Out of interest, what classifies as a right outcome and close score? Will also have to take a look at this Superbru thing but you can count me as a possible participant.

[hilariousandco]

Bump.

A right outcome is if you guess the correct winner or the draw. Scoring for close picks can be found here: https://www.superbru.com/premierleague_predictor/how_to_play.php#tab=scoring

I think the Superbru site is very good and I don't think there is a problem there about privacy, but if anyone finds a better predictor site, why not.
Btw, for this pool I am interested and so please count me in.
Thanks!

So we got only 4 players from the EPL pool interested in this pool...?  This pool is a lot more fun imo, especially when we reach the KO stages and beyond kinda like the World Cup.  

[Hhampuz]

Count me in!

[panjul07]

Sure...
Count me in

[tokeweed]

Nice...  This pool is finally picking up.  I think there are some Monero guys who love playing these as well, but they mostly pay in XMR...

Hilarious, you willing to accept XMR?  I wanna ask them to join us. 

[buwaytress]

Of course I'm joining this pool! Didn't see it until today though, but add my name in.

Liverpool's first game is against PSV away, I'm somewhat amazed that bookies put them at strong favourites... I mean this is a Pot 1 team vs Pot 3 team. A league champion vs a team whose best finish was runner's up in CL. All the same, took an early bet already at 2.19.

@tokeweed: any interesting side bets you got in mind? $10 on Liverpool to progress further than a team of your choice? See how kind I am?

[tokeweed]

^  Lololol.  You're on!  I got Juventus!  

Tbh I really think they could win it this year, or at least have a really good chance, cos of the Ronaldo factor.  He could just be what the the club needs.

Edit:  And it doesn't have to be a side bet between just us.  Anybody can join and choose a club they think that could out last the other clubs.

BCT's CL Pool Side Bet:  Which Club Progresses the Furthest?

Me:  Juventus
buwaytress:  Liverpool.

Join us guys!  It's just for 10 bucks.

OK cool! Juventus could go far, and I think it was just a freaky result that knocked them out last season (yes, Ronaldo is a freak! ), so for me winning a knockout tournament is a bit of luck more than skill... the team to meet the most bad luck will have a hard time. For me Liverpool losing Mo Salah last CL was absolutely bad luck, even if Ramos had a history of aiming for the opponent's biggest goal threat (just watch all his games against Messi!)

$10 bucks I need to win back from you. Tiebreakers? Or tie shares pool?

[tokeweed]

^  Lol.  Not when you think Liverpool is gonna go further than Ronaldo this season.  He's gonna take Juve all the way to lift that trophy. 

And yup, I'm good with tie shares the pool.

[hilariousandco]

[tokeweed]

So it's just the 7 of us?  Nobody from the EPL pool wanna have more fun?    I think the CL with the KO stage and the bracket after that would make playing in this pool a lot more interesting imo.
