[Trofo]

I could have sworn I picked PSG so was quite happy following the match (don't fancy either team but I'd rather a new French winner than a commercial team go through), only to find I'd actually picked Leipzig haha. Trofo's finally caught up to me. Two games left so 1st-3rd are unassailable.

Best bastard win Trofo;)

What you mean finally caught up? I was third before the restart but started with predicting some upsets in those first games and dropped a few places. Now I am climbing up to my "real" positions

May the luckiest bastard win.

[cryptofrka]

I'm a point ahead of examplens in 2nd and have secured top 3. 2 games left and the final will decide between us, no way he isn't picking City today. Hopefully he doesn't get the correct result so I have some advantage

I know I asked like 5 times already, but I never received an answer. Where can I see the rewards for this pool?

[big_daddy]

will Bayern win tonight with a massive handicap?
I think it will yes

My pick is Lyon 0 : 5 Bayern

I would like to see Perišić as a goal scorer tonight!

The entry fee is 0.005 and the pot is currently over 0.205.

The winners will be the top five users who have the highest points at the end of the season. The prizes will currently be awarded as follows:

1st: 0.1
2nd: 0.04
3rd: 0.02
4th: 0.015
5th: 0.01

The prizes will be adjusted slightly if more people join. There will also be some small consolation prizes for the top 5 users who get the highest points from a weekly round, so even if it becomes apparent that you are unlikely to win as the tournament progresses you still have something to play for.

Consolation prizes for the top five users who score the most from a weekly round:

1st: 0.01
2nd: 0.005
3rd: 0.005
4th: 0.005
5th: 0.005

Thanks a lot, man. Huge difference between 2nd and 3rd, but high rewards overall. If I finish 2nd, it basically pays 2 pools (both the CL and the PL one) for the next 5 years.

I have to say I was a bit lucky because I had a good position before the corona break so it suited me to have less games.

LOLS I was hoping you'd react;) I have been in top 5 for a long time as I recall too, and somehow managed to stay in place but shifting farther and farther to 6th. I'm happy even at 5th as it'll be a hell lot better than my EPL pool performance!

May the bastardiest bastardo persevere!

will Bayern win tonight with a massive handicap?
I think it will yes

My pick is Lyon 0 : 5 Bayern

I would like to see Perišić as a goal scorer tonight!

I got over 3.5 goals at 1.91 and Bayern to win both halves at 2.25.  

I wonder how much Bayern's line was to win the CL before the knock out stages.  Prolly more than 8.

Edit:  Perisic anytime goal scorer is at 2.33.  Hmmmm..  Gambol?

[Hhampuz]

I think Lyon pulls the upset of the decade tonight

[tokeweed]

^  Ugh...  Talk about shitting on the pie.

And that makes two French clubs in the final.  Now all of you who laughed at Ligue Uh over the years take it back.  Lol.  It's something to talk about tho, that's for sure.

[hilariousetc]

Went with the draw last night. Didn't have anything to lose as I can't win anything anyway. I thought it would be a lot closer though, especially after Leipzig impressed against Madrid and I thought PSG were poor against Atlanta and lucky to go through at all. Looks like it's going to be a bayern/PSG final. Bayern should win that I think, though it will likely be close.

Those aren't the payouts. If you check it says that's how much was given last year, but that was for the PL and was just given as an example. I don't think I actually stated the ones for this year but I'll probably pay out the top as follows:

1st 0.03
2nd 0.02
3rd 0.015
4th 0.01
5th 0.005

Apologies - looking at it now , this makes a lot more sense 
Didn’t do my maths !

[buwaytress]

Trofo convinced me to change my picks to 4-1 (was originally 3-1) and now that Gnabry's got them the lead, I have a good feeling they'll hit four. Because Lyon will also be keen to get some goals in, so this should be an open game. My cable's not good right now so I'm not getting a good feed =/ Why I'm posting here and watching livescores heh.

My feeling is Bayern is going to win this match by 3 - 1 but right now as Bayern is doing its look like we are going to have some more goals then we are expecting because Bayern mean business nothing else Gnabry already on board and we still have muller perisic and lewandowski all love to have name on socre board as well.

of all players on the pool, it was you who had to guess the correct result? Why?
Congrats mate on 2nd place, you provide top performance after COVID pause. it bothers me even more that I changed at the last minute from 0:3 to 0:4.

I am satisfied with this 3rd place reward, even if I have a feeling that cryptofrka take 0.005 from my pocket 

[slaman29]

Well, it's a perfect final I guess. I know Lyon and Leipzig both deserve their place too but this was always going to be a matter of quality in the end. Bayern the huge favorite I'm sure!

I don't remember how much we paid for this pool, before but pretty sure price was low at the time right? Nice wins for the top 5 guys, even 5th place is double the fee IIRC:)

I've signed up for La Liga and I'm taking my chances here again with Barca next season. Maybe we do a turnaround like Bayern did after losing to Liverpool in humiliating fashion?

Sorry man, I locked my pick to see what you picked (did it for the 1st time yesterday) and saw that we both had 0-3. I was a point ahead so I thought - well, that's good for me, he can't pass me here. I wake up, check Superbru and something's off - I'm more points ahead. I check the results and see that you changed your pick

Don't give up just yet - you can still claim 2nd if you guess the correct result and I miss the winner.

That's why I couldn't find it then I guess. Not bitching or anything but it would be way better and more transparent in future pools if the rewards were defined at the beginning - as we have for the PL one.

[tokeweed]

Anybody else felt like Bayern pulled the foot from the gas and took it easy on Lyon?  I'm pretty sure they were more than capable of hitting 4 - 0, 5 - 0 or even more...  Cost me a bet.  Lol.  They're prolly saving it for the final.

And why did Arsenal sell Gnabry again?

[cryptofrka]

And why did Arsenal sell Gnabry again?

Because he really wasn't doing well in England. I remember joking about him, even after he started playing well at Bayern.

He's really a top player now but at the time selling him was the right move. He wasn't getting any minutes even on loan at WBA.

Well I normally do but I just must have just overlooked it for whatever reason. I'll make sure it's done as soon as all the money is in and the season starts next time.

[big_daddy]

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
