BitcoinNews.com's UEFA Champions League Football Preditor Pool Discussion thread

Got a lot of fancy high odd games available for the final, so I'm throwing quite a bit of money here and there haha.

My picks are Neymar to score (he really should have vs Leipzig) and he's due one and either PSG to win (10/1) or Bayern (75/10). I can't see this entering ET as both are fresh, fit and want this one in style.

And guys, I know not all of you played the Premier League pool this season but if you haven't checked it out yet, you'll want to. Every week alone you can win back your fee by getting the highest weekly score (yellow cap).

^ Yup props are fun to do for the final stages of the CL.

I got Bayern ML at 2.08, correct score 3 - 1 for Bayern at 11, Bayern winning margin 2 goals at 6, Bayern to win both halves at 2.30 and Bayern European handicap 0:1 at 3.25. Most of these bets I mostly now regret doing. Cheesy

I think we could see Bayern 3 - 2 or... an upset. Lawl.

I'm still bullish on Bayern, and I will bet that will win with a handicap this final

My pool pick for the grand final CL match is: PSG 1:4 Bayern, and Ivan P., score one of those 4 please Cool

Perisic will not start match this time so no so big chance he will score tonight 😀
I also think Bayern will win but I don't believe that final result will be 4:1 for them.
PSG is very strong team so my prediction is 2:1 for Bayern.

0:1
And Perisic can score if he will enter on the field Wink

Well, there is a chance

Ah man - on me hols and I can’t get to see the match anywhere ! Just checked the score - looks boring ? Is the match any good ?

RIght now its not issue this was boring or interesting main thing is Bayern now 6th time Champions of Europe and PSG is still not able to won thier first title in Europe even spending some good money on players buying/selling.

And that's that. Just won one bet out of 5 I made. I'm pretty sure I made my bookie happy again. Lolol. Cheesy

@toke heh yeah me too, I lost all my funny markets. Bet nobody won any of their big bets tonight except ML. Just glad to see them cross the line and get me my parlay home. I got 1.5 points on the final round, Superbru hasn't updated but I doubt anyone predicted 1-0... yay me for 4/5 place! And yay Coutinho got himself a medal and Liverpool 4 million euros!

Wasn't vintage. So many fouls, yellows, not much quality, a lot of nerves but in the end the Germans made their physicality count. Credit to Neymar and co they didn't roll around a lot and they actually got quite a bit of battering. Probably deserved in the end, Bayern should have gotten that penalty in the 1st half injury time, and all the shots that came to Mbappe, Neuer was Gandalf in goal.

@indyMoney: Yeah, but they got a first final appearance so maybe that gets Tuchel some joy?

Well done Bayern
Congrats!

I’ll do my best next season Wink

I won the Coppa America and Champions League on Superbru
I love SerieA, that will be my main focus on the next round

I'm glad that Bayern won, they were the most consistent team throughout the competition. They also played really well yesterday - controlling the game and containing PSG's front 3 is not as easy as it seemed.

Congrats to big_daddy, as well as other winners of the pot. Can't wait for next season and even better rewards, hopefully my end position will be as good as this year.

You got the second place, congrats mate! It will be enough BTC for all the pool fees in the incoming season Wink

Well done Croatia;) I saw nobody picked 1-0 and only 1 guy picked PSG, the match was a bit closer than the stats suggested in the end, just Neymar and Mbappe weren't having the best of days, though neither the Germans to be fair.

But well done Croatia for almost sweeping the entire prizes! At least I kind of won back my stake and will play for free in the next pool! Such "hard work" =D

What can I say, Champions League is our playground. Did you know that we have a Champions League winner in last 7 seasons?
2013 - Mandzukic - Bayern
2014 - Modric - Real
2015 - Rakitic - Barca
2016 - Modric, Kovacic - Real
2018 - Modric, Kovacic - Real
2019 - Lovren - Liverpool
2020 - Perisic - Bayern

I am quite sure that many bigger nations have nowhere near that success streak.

Top 5:

1 Bigdaddy
2 cryptofrka
3 examplens
4 sojourner
5 trofo

Congrats to the winners. If you PM me your addresses I'll get the payments sent out ASAP.

Neymar needs to stop spending half the time rolling around on the floor.

The next Champion's League starts on the 20th of October so I'll probably start arranging that early October. I'll bump this thread when it goes live. If you haven't signed up for the the next PL pool then you can do so here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5270461.msg55057484#msg55057484

Thanks very much for hosting, hilarious. I've now gone and registered myself in 4 pools next season (!!) but since they're all on Superbru anyway, it's not much of added management, just a couple more minutes per week to put in picks and who knows, get more beer money in.

The EPL pool is HUGE, can't wait!

Address sent via pm, I am looking forward for the pool next season as well. Hopefully you have some juicy sponsorship for this one as well

I am usually doing much better predicting CL than Premier league.

Once again thanks for organizing this. Hope to see all of you in the new pool as well as some new faces.

It sure is, only problem I can't break into top 10. Will have to do much better next season.

He’s not the only one rolling, but yes, fckn rolling and faking, those new generations of football players are driving me crazy...

I’ve sent the address in PM

Next season is around the corner Cool

Great pool for us Croats! 3 winners, and examplens is from Serbia I think so 4 from the Balkans.

Address sent, thanks for hosting and see you in the next season. Hopefully we can have a deal like for the PL one, including Sportsbet is a great addition to the competition.
