This is quite old news, visit the sportsbet.io ANN thread --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1458034.0

IIRC, this has been announced a month or two already.

This can, of course, help Bitcoin to gain more interest from the people as this can be a big exposure. Though we should not expect that this can be sort of like a magic wand. Building a brand that people can trust can take some time and in many cases big businesses utilized millions of dollars just to advertise their names to the masses. We can only hope that more and more will sponsor to have the name Bitcoin plastered in events sports or entertainment.

This is indeed a very big public awareness campaign from subjects like this, and it really shows that bitcoin is growing more than what we are seeing and in the outside world, it is really being put into practice.

Imagine that other clubs join them and they are all accepting cryptocurrency, and when it comes to football, it has lots of fans and most of them would do anything to buy those tickets using bitcoin, we don’t even need them to be an holder, they should leave the holding business for us lol, but they need to be using bitcoin like the way they use fiat, this will surely create high demands for bitcoin every time there is need to watch football and every time there is need for the ticket to do so needs to be purchase, I think this is really another step forward.

This is one more step... all around BTC is entering our lives... German Bruger King, BTC ATM's and now football... it will not take long for everyone to be able to choose the format of their monthly wage...
I feel that the whales are getting ready for another serious run...

This news has dominated the market scene in the last week or so.

And yes, I agree that it would really create a lot of positive publicity and awareness to BTC. Although is is growing by the day, this kind of promotion will really take BTC on the next level.

There are other sports personalities as well that said they want their salary to be in crypto, those guys are forward thinkers, because they know that in the next coming years, the price could really go up and it's going to be a win-win for them.

Yeah I remembered when this news was announced some month's back and I could remember then the price of bitcoin was dropping drastically and at the same time bad news and FUDS around.

It may be old news to some but I am just seeing  this for the first time and as a football fan plus a crypto enthusiast, this is certainly a pleasant news if it will be effected eventually, because saying  it is one thing and putting  it into action  is another thing, I sincerely wish this will take effect because crypto needs it.

The same case for me, Football is one of the famous games in the world.
It really gives much exposure now and attracts some new investors.
I think if this going to be a good many Altcoins will follow its footsteps to advertise on the football fields.

[Duzter]

What Sportsbet.io has done is truly appreciable. They've done it in the right way to give exposure to common people about bitcoin. Different ways of marketing is done to promote the bitcoin acceptance on different services. Here, this is much more effective than the common ways of promotion. Also it'll reach a large user base as it is done through one of the popular soccer tournament.

Yeah almost all football fans watch premier league even though we have different choices in the clubs we support, but still  this is a huge opportunity for crypto to really be in the public light, imagine if other big clubs decide to  do the same thing some day in near future 

[EdvinZ]

Football, as we know, is the most popular sport on the planet. What is described in the article can really popularize cryptocurrency among football lovers. When a brand is advertised at major sporting events, it always increases its recognition among people.

More exposure leads to more awareness, and yes, that is always good news. However, similar things have been done before, with questionable results. It seems like things like these serve more to get the crypto community excited than to actually attract new users to the crypto space. I could be wrong, of course.

[lobat999]

This is significant step towards more mainstream adoption and I had high hopes more of this kinds of exposure for Bitcoin are already
on the pipeline. I think we should consider that Bitcoin's mainstream adoption will not be an overnight success and everybody who
loves it should do their part in promoting it anyway they can.

Satoshi being anonymous had made bitcoin very successful because we know that no one is controlling it and no one can ever control bitcoin. I think that is the very essence of decentralization wherein bitcoin can stand on it’s one without someone really controlling it and that it is immune to any government intervention.
If Satoshi comes out then I guess the thought of being decentralize will be gone and people views on bitcoin and the price movement will depend on its creator. For me, bitcoin is way better with Satoshi remained anonymous.

[bittraffic]

Binance CEO CZ appreciates what sportsbet.io did too. This is the kind of things that will help make BTC stand out that people will realize this isn't actually a scam unlike what the media has been telling. I wonder how much were being spent for this  by sportsbet. The company must be really rich, they were spending a lot in marketing and they do have a long running BTC campaign in the forum.

No,  it actually attract more users and establishment owners to adopt crypto as well.  We accept the fact that not all the things that have done before it results good, some of them falls into the negative effect of the market.  But we are actually making it right in order to justify how good is  Bitcoin and it helps us. Bitcoin isn't bold to see its goodness but for us who have been involve into bitcoin's development we could see its role in the community and it has proven several times.

[Sebas.tian]

This is actually a practical move from what had been preached on social medias down to press and now on Jessy. With this bold step from the club team, the world will start to see something good and positive about cryptocurrency, also, this will enable many who were deceived with negative preached from Bitcoin haters. Premier league as we know has more football enthusiasts whom among them are sport lovers. The positive effect of these singular act from the club will yield more result than we expect, if.not now but in few years to come. It is an important step from the right direction at a time like this.

[Distraction]

Teams have started to make sponsorship agreements with cryptos and this a great news I think. These sponsorships provides big advantages for cryptocurrency industry. Thanks to these agreements, cryptocurrencies ( especially Bitcoin ) are spreading worldwide faster.

I actually got this from Sportbet.io newsletter and its something deep down within that makes me glad and truth be told it is great movement from where bitcoin was to the point where it is now and most importantly, this no little achievement needs to be celebrated. For those who might feel that its being blown out of proportion then you might not have the full picture of what is being achieved on that day.

For one, it brings the highest publicity to the people that can really do something about it. Football they say unite a whole lot of people irrespective of their culture, race or background and the people watching goes beyond the people on the pitch but the millions spread across the world watching via cable and satellite distribution.

For it to be associated with a brand like Watford FC sends a message that its not always about illegality or some immoral things all the way but also can be used for something worthwhile that would have a lasting effect.
