IPL Mutual Pool Discussion.

[UmerIdrees]

People!
We have 7 members so far who are interested and have a price point in their mind. Bring it more!

@UmerIdrees, for PSL I can help you to get started with the pool if you want. I have seen in another thread you were interested to create a pool and I would like you to do that. Once you do things by yourself you learn the stuffs. Go on bud. I have your back. You have permission to use the format I use or to use any contents from my posts if you want.

Thanks for your support. I would like to start the PSL pool but sometimes i feel i won't be able to do justice with it because i am not online often as you are on this forum and it needs time which is difficult to manage with my offline activities. But this does not mean i am out of it , the idea is in back of my mind and lets see if i can bring it into reality.


Will you be starting a manual pool or a pool on Superbru  ?

[AB de Royse777]

Bump! (had a long break from me, let's awake it again)

Will you be starting a manual pool or a pool on Superbru  ?

Superbru is the best option like we did for IPL last year. Just checked in google, the tournament is starting from 20 Feb

Not sure if this is already on superbru however let me know if you will be able to find time to manage a thread for this event and also know the steps to create a pool in superbru.

Hey guys. Joining in on the discussion now. Thanks to JSRAW for pointing me to this thread. I haven't joined the TG yet as I am still getting the hang of this. I prefer that I get to know a little bit first before i just drop in and start asking noob questions. I think if i ask those noob questions here, it'd be helpful to others too.

I see that mutual betting threads started with the world cup and IPL and you guys would have wanted to have wider participation. It'd be great if we can lower the entry barrier in terms of information as well as entry fee in the beginning. As a newcomer to this, i feel i don't have enough direction. For example, I have no idea how mutual betting will work. I know i should start with registering the superbru app but it all feels too much self-navigation. I suggest that it'd be awesome if someone experienced can ELI5 things a bit for everyone. For example:

1. What is a mutual betting pool?
2. What do i place my bets on? Match results? Player rankings?
3. How do i win or lose?
4. Even if i don't care about winning or losing, whats the fun part in it?

Sorry if these questions sound like an imposition to someone, please rest assured, they are not. This is just an honest viewpoint from someone completely new to this but interested. I hope that this would also give the newbie's perspective to Royse and JSRAW who are leading the effort to build a community here.

There was no entry fees for Previous pool (IPL and WC), they were open to everybody. Some perks as hanging out with other cricket fans and few drawback as well, such as small amount of prize and attracting fair amount of spammers. First IPL pool prize was sponsored by Royse and World Cup pool by Royse, Me, Pffrt and Ronnie ( Cloudbet - Free spins for Round winners).

Entry fees for upcoming IPL pool which is schedule in End March ( 28th march) is open to discussion and not fixed yet. So far 7 members are interested in Paid Pool (All amount is for Prize pool ) and i believe more members will join us in the conversation next month. if we reach close to 15 participants then we can say that job well done.

Let me make a list as we progress of the interested users and so far the list have:

Code:

Interested Users - Proposed Entry Fee 
Royse777 - $20+
JSRAW - $5 to $20
akhjob - 15$ to 30$
SaShiRaJaVu - 0.001 BTC
RapTarX - 0.001 BTC
Haunebu - 0.001 to 0.002 BTC(Current price)
teosanru - $5-$10

I have no idea how mutual betting will work. I know i should start with registering the superbru app but it all feels too much self-navigation. I suggest that it'd be awesome if someone experienced can ELI5 things a bit for everyone. For example:

1. What is a mutual betting pool?

For mutual pools you don't need to register in superbru. superbru is for IPL or any ICC tournament only. As of now "Mutual betting pool" is for interested parties to bet among themselves here in Bitcointalk.

2. What do i place my bets on? Match results? Player rankings?

Match results only. Royce tried the multibet bet on the same match but that experiment kinda failed because no one won the single round ( Royse was bookie)

3. How do i win or lose?

So far only 3 Market to chose in mutual pools: Regular over Win - Tie - Win so its simple opt for right one.

4. Even if i don't care about winning or losing, whats the fun part in it?

As far as i understand Mutual pools for single game are another experiment for Royse just to keep community engage and checking the waters. I with few members  supporting him by participating in every experiment. not much fun due to low number of participants but sometimes we get to rub each other face when someone lose, Okay experience i would say. if this mutual pool experiment fails in a longer run then he might come up with new one or not? Depends on him and community.

For big tournaments such as IPL and WC (We use Superbru for this) situation is completely different due to many reasons. Majority of users are into it so it brings best out of it, interesting analysis of different teams, players. Good betting tips are part of it. Pakistani and Indian fans bantering, Bitching, small prize money and so on..... Its fun in short.

You are fast, Was about to post it in T-20 thread but skipped it as i am still checking my fav team encounters. You should stop by here more often @FIFA worldcup.

There is big chances that IPL can be cancel or postpone because of Corona Virus threat.

Gov and BCCI might have more clear position in this matter with in next week. So far BCCI following their usual routine of IPL preparation etc. Cancellation of complete tournament seems tough but i wouldn't be surprise if all matches are held in Empty stadium, better safe than sorry.

Empty stadium and IPL?
I don't think it's going to happen and say there are matches in empty stadium then how are they going to make money from all the investment they made ?

And this Corona virus thing, still they don't have any medications?

Damn!

IMO, Its small price if things go south. If i have to make wild guess then it shouldn't be more than 5-10% of IPL revenue, as BCCI revenue model based on TV rights. In BCCI point of view Play off ticket revenue goes to franchise anyway  , BCCI main concern should be Qualifier games, that's where they make shitload amount of money.

No one has any vaccine so far.

There is no points of playing any sports without sports enthusiast who go to stadium, playing in empty stadium won't make any sense. Don't think even BCCI will think to run IPL in empty stadium, like last time when Govt. told them they can't provide security so they move to South Africa.

Most probably Corona Virus impact will be very low beause of beginning of summer and schedule of IPL will go according to announcement.

Empty stadium is precaution, its not favorable to fans but seems legit step in such times.

Yeah, As of now Corona is not big issue in India except Delhi-NCR, no panic in public though. Rest of India seems pretty safe n sound so it shouldn't be a big problem anyway.

India's climate condition can also be a reason why it is not much worse as we have seen on other countries because research says the virus can't withstand high temperatures.But I thought the matches will be cancelled but it feels great to know that we can watch them online and also gambling industry of crypto will be alive in the corona season as well.

[AB de Royse777]

Guys two weeks to go (more or less), I will finalise the entry fee before the next Wednesday and will make the official pool topic. Get ready with your funds if you are in with us.

BTC is deeping, it will be easier even if the entry fee is 0.005 BTC :-D

May be or may be authorities taking necessary precautions but numbers are going up, slowly but going up.. last i read there were around 70+ cases. At start majority of cases were Italians tourist (16).

Update on IPL, i posted in T-20 thread. Sport ministry basically said that if games are held in empty stadium then they don't have any problems. Gov already told that major gathering is not safe at any cost.

I was about to create the pool in superbru but I see they have not yet added the event and I am sure they are not going to add it very soon from now too.



Any new update from IPL governing body?

We can forget IPL this year, looking way too tough now. Might be good idea to lock the thread for time being.

Replied in T-20 thread about Official statement.

^^ I didn't heard any official statement so far but as of now India is in complete lockdown for 21 days so no one thinking about sport or cricket anymore. 99% chances are "No IPL" this year.

[AB de Royse777]

I will look/wait for the official statement from India cricket board before locking this thread. May this will be the best instead of speculating. However I also feel that after 21 days lockdown if things started to recover then the entire nation will focus on rebuilding the damage that has been done and expecting IPL or any big sports may be a luxury considering the time?

“I can’t say anything at the moment. We are at the same place where we were on the day we postponed. Nothing has changed in the last 10 days. So, I don’t have an answer to it. Status quo remains,”

This is from Ganguly which means he has not made any final decision yet.

BCCI boards searching now window for IPL, may be mini IPL in September. No way it will run before that. In India even here is full lockdown for next 3 weeks, and most probably it will extend after that.
