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

[buwaytress]

I've sent Harkorede the prize money with a little extra, sorry Harko I did a cheeky 1 sat/byte tx but it's RBF so I could have speed it up if it was urgent -- ended up confirming within the next couple of blocks haha. I'm such a skimp, I know, but I do love testing the limits of BTC network, been trying to "break" my 72 hour record for confirmation this year. "Disappointed" it happened so quick, not bad less than 8 cents fee huh?

I'll put up the same amount (0.005 btc) as a starting sponsorship bid for next pool =D That'll be worth at least double next year, right guys?

I confirm that the prize money has been received from @Buwaytress.

Thank to the Hilarious for host us and cheers to other players, I look forward to a better competition next season 😊

[buwaytress]

Saw the PM from hilarious. Cheers, captain. Am on mobile now and on extremely cramped ride so just thought to bump this and get people to notice.

In summary. UCL pool still good to go and yes I am interested and hope we get enough players!

+1
do not forget to put your picks into Superbru, since it will counted from day1, no matter when the pool starts

will be an interesting season, could PSG dream team win this through (doubt) or others will get it, namely Bavarian giant or United with Ronaldo, as that we are looking into 2000's season, when Bayern and Manchester ruled the game

[cryptofrka]

I did not get any messages and I played the previous 2 CL prediction pools. I actually got a prize in the last one, maybe that's why I wasn't invited

I'm interested as well so let me know if we're playing, I inserted my predictions into Superbru just in case. CL is the biggest competition, I thought we would already have a pool by now.

[Trofo]

Also got the PM.

I am of course interested, just entered the picks for first round. Will be tough to organize paid pool on such short notice but hopefully we will manage somehow.

Should be a great CL season, starting with cracking game between Barca and Bayern tonight. Don't know why but those evening CL matches have a special appeal to me, there is just something special when you see that CL logo Bought TV package with coverage of all CL games so I am as prepared as possible for this season.

I already thought that we won't have pool for Champions league this season. I received message from hilarious and offcourse I will join pool. I can't miss it . Maybe it's not the best time to start everything on last day. But better later than never. From responses here, seems that all usual suspects will be there .

[slaman29]

So I count 6 including myself, I had a good run even though didn't win last one but I can't play all the leagues and not play this one!

Weird but also for me, even though it means I have either to stay up very very late, or wake up very very early. And hope I'm not working night shift (which I am not this week).

It's special to watch these games when everyone here is asleep. As long as there is not a big English game other places or Real, for some reason Barca is a second Spanish favorite here:)

I got the PM too... And I've made my intentions of joining known in the sign up thread.


First fixtures are on already, It really didn't take long for Ronaldo to make his mark, yet again!

Salzburg missed a penalty just after 12 minute, but they've got another one again, perhaps they can make it right this time.

[buwaytress]

Well, I bet on YBs in their last two legs against United and lost. Then this one I stayed away from, as I thought, well, Ronaldo, right? But anyone else think Ronaldo there actually ruined United's chances tonight? They needed to be faster and more proactive after Wan-Bissaka's dismissal.

That's a big fat zero points for me in my SuperBru for the first 2 games. Haha! Going to get off forums and focus on Barca, got loads of bets with them on it!

That makes two, I had zero point for the two games as well... Who would have imagined, after the early goal, I predicted it was going to be long night for Young Boys, not knowing it was meant to be one of their best one. They took the one man advantage to it's fullest and without mincing words they deserved every bit of the victory.

I'm getting better with the current fixture, hopefully it would stay the same.

hopefully, your bets on the game were not on Barca to win, since their play against Bayern was really poor
Bayern proved to be favorite this season, they had one bad match last season, home with PSG, and that was enough to be kicked-out, and they are most constant team in last few seasons in all competitions, Lewa is obviously as wine, as older, that better

had solid performance in the pool, taking into account that results were far from expected, especially Young Boys win and Sevilla draw, Salzburg actually had three penalties in first half, congrats to referee, he decided to have four penalties in one half (1x Sevilla, 3x Salzburg), cannot remember seeing that before

I just got an email from Hilarious Andco via Superbru about an invitation to join BitcoinTalk's Champion'sL Pool. I don't know if you guys get it too because there are still no other participants that I saw there. Maybe it's just for fun because there are no details of fees and prizes there, I just joined and of course missed last night's match and hopefully it will still be fun.

I reactivated last year's pool as there were only 12 people in it so you should have got an email or invite on Superbru, but if not here's the link:

I doubt many people backed the home win there. I did pretty well. 14 points so far, which is surprising. Two exact scores and I got all the other game results right apart from the Man United one. I have no idea about half of the teams so it's just pure guesswork and luck.

Yeah, didn't see that coming. 12/1 IIRC pre-match. Would have been 20/1 at least just before the red. The only surprise is they didn't get their second goal earlier. Gotta feel for Lingard...

hopefully, your bets on the game were not on Barca to win, since their play against Bayern was really poor

They were, unfortunately. I know Messi-less Barca is not the Barca I know but I thought Bayern were away, and 35/10 was incredible value for the home side. Alas.

I was able to grab a few correct score myself, and 11.5 points in total, I though Lille poor run of form would continue into champions league, Lille could even have had great chance to still the win at the very last minute after a penalty was awarded by the referee, but VAR cam to the rescue.

We've got some early kickoff yet again today,
inconsistent Dortmund vs Besiktas, I went with BVB but I pretty much won't be surprise if their shenanigans happens to get the better today too.

Barca name and history have now became their problem. When clubs get to play against them they are all thinking football giant but vulnerable. Everyone believes they can win against them and nobody will underestimate them since they are Barca. Supporters are also used to certain style of play and you can't even try to defend against top opposition. You have to always attack and have good results, that will be tough this season.

Some more great games tonight, I'll watch Real probably, should be open game with lots of chances and hopefully some goals since I have my money on BTTS.

[buwaytress]

Wow. Just wow. Bottom placed on our pool after half time on end of Match Day 1 and what a battering some of the favourites have had. It's Group Stage of course, the time for upsets. Just happy Salah made amends (man, can't wait for VVD to get back to full strength), got an early live bet on them to win 3/1 so everything to fight and watch for (but looks like we'll bust Blackjack again oops haha). City as usual blowing away everything in front of them, and Ajax the usual bright start and but barely ahead.

[Harkorede]

I some how marginally beat Hilarious to win the game round, that's definitely all thanks to Real Madrid's late winner, No one could have predicted PSG being held by Club Brugge (those suckers cost me a 10.5 mBTC betslip 😒)...  What I actually found weird was that I was the only one who tipped Ajax (Initially, I had a 1-1 draw which I change after I saw the lineup).

Ajax is for me pleasant surprise, did not expect them to win in Portugal at all, but they knocked-down Sporting with five goals
regarding Brugge, it was a great game for them, and happy for Vanaken to score, Hans is probably the most regarded legend on Sorare fantasy football platform, been more constant in his scores than most football stars from anywhere

Real and Inter are obviously pair for group stage, and Shakhtar in their group, only Moenchengladbach was not here, but Sheriff is playing great so far
