Count me in.

I think to get more people it should be 1mbtc. Lots of guys might not join if the fee is higher, possibly keeping it at 1mbtc will get more sign ups making it more competitive.

You are right. Also there are so many pools this season and I want to join all of them. Because of this 1 mbtc fee would be much better for me too. The La Liga, FPL, Bundesliga, Serie A and normal PL. I hope I can win a prize from these ones.

[buwaytress]

Already replied elsewhere but I'm of course playing these. I'm still unsure about FPL and F1, just because of the style and the type of attention but for some reason always feel I can follow my gut fairly easily in the regular big leagues.

Lukaku to Chelski? Heh

I agree with this.
1 mBTC participation fee is enough with current bitcoin price and I think we re going to have more players signing up with that.
I dont know if reward distribution will be similar like last season or something will change this season, but I am seriously considering joining Seria A pool this season.

[Trofo]

Serie A pool is now officially open and you can start sending your buy ins. Buy in has been set at 1 mBTC. All the info is in the OP so check it up and let me know if something looks strange

Superbru hasn't started Serie A predictor yet so you will receive the link to join after I create the actual pool there. Should be about 1 week before Serie A starts.

I am keeping funds for La Liga and Serie A separate but if you want to save some cents on tx I suggest you find a buddy so one pays 2 mBTC to Serie A and other 2 mBTC to La Liga I know I am doing it like that usually.

[buwaytress]

Good stuff Trofo. $2000 is fantastic, so even though OP has prize structure from 2023-20224, it's okay, now I know you're still drunk

Regarding fee buddies I also received a proposal from 2 other regulars, and definitely a no-brainer, saves me from getting confused over which payments I've made so we're actually going to enter a tripartite agreement to pay our fees on all these EPL/LL/SA pools.

So with that, here's my payment for me (sojourner on Superbru), slaman29 and leea-1334 here: 354051233bfc60e7e141f9a7a3183d205600002e7f7b66dfa5ea75b079d9bbbf

Wait, you weren't here last season? Why the hell not?

I'm in in both La Liga and Serie A, made payment now. Today made payments for all football pools if I haven't missed anything. Quite a lot money combined when you pay at once, but not really much when you think that's for whole season fun.
And finally Trofo made segwit address

Thank you!! I will make payment for La Liga and post in that thread but I hope you guys can be patient with me, maximum next week before weekend, I just wanna wait for one incoming payment to not waste the chance to squash everything in 1 transaction

Great to see you here mate. Honestly, what keeps me playing is seeing the same old faces and some new faces every season. There are other competitions but I usually don't join cause there's no one to compete against or no mafia to make fun of

Since you didn't do it by the rules and sent me PM. Now you got invite and link and I am making it your job to forward to these two you paid for

I get many sign-ins and stuff like that, so I would appreciate if you would send me a pm. If you are paying for more people, include them in the copy. That way I can keep tabs easier and respond with links much easier. And most importantly I will not forget anyone.

Both pools are live and I have sent the links to all that paid so far. First time in history we have more players in Serie A than La Liga but that is only because of that tx above

[buwaytress]

^ Rules? What rules haha. Sent PM to the other two (sorry about that).

Has Serie A always been the smallest pool? I always assumed the same players in both La Liga / Serie A. It actually makes more sense if La Liga has more, given so many Spanish-speaking people on the forum.

I think Serie A has a lot of fans but like you said above , they might the smallest pool but I'm sure the fun for playing Serie A pool is without any equal because we all know very well that Serie A is very hard to predict no matter what team you chose to support.  That's why I do think Serie A is the funniest of all pools but unfortunately for me , they are a bit to expensive for me to join and I'm really not good at long runs for predictions .

Traditionally we have a couple of players less in Serie A than in La liga. Been like that every season so far. Some of the old ones that played only La Liga join here but then we get some newcomers for La Liga only. Enchanted circle

I love this enchanced circle concept, I think if we all look back on things like BSFL, none of it would happen if all the other pools didn't take place, regardless how big or small, you managed to get this enchanted circle group going and the magic flowed for BSFL and even LMS

BTW guys does anybody know how to find historical results for all the pools? I want to see if really I'm as bad as I feel in this pool but also in others.

[Trofo]

Hey guys, Serie A starts with Genoa - Inter match today. Not a lot of time left to join, we are talking hours here 20 of us so far which is respectable but I expected at least a couple more players since we have 26 in La Liga.

Entering my picks now. Don't feel confident at all.

[Trofo]

Bump, La Liga gets all the love so writing this here. Sending sign up free bets to be paid. Only for those that actually paid sign up fee. Those that I am still waiting on will get it after they pay. Same goes for La Liga as always.

Edit: Change of plan. After discussing with jeremypwr, everyone gets free bet now.

[jeremypwr]

2. 0.5 mBTC free bet for all participants paid when the league starts and we have the final number of participants

A very bad start in this one, with a few strange results in the openings.

Rome yesterday against Cagliari and Milan against Torino for sure destroy so many bets.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Very bad start to this pool for me, same with La Liga. I need to get my shit together.

Does anybody else base some of their predictions on bookmakers odds (some of the lesser known teams playing each other).

At the beginning I do, yeah. Later on mostly on home/away performances and recent form.
If early rounds get me near the top, I spend ~5 min selecting results. If I'm bad from the start, then probably less than a minute

[jeremypwr]

Hhampuz (and myself) win the Round 1 Yellow Cap

Quite a lucky break for me, 3 exact and 1 result, rest all wrong haha. Trying to figure out these different leagues as I feel quite comfortable with the PL but in Serie A it seems anything can happen  

EDIT; Wrong league, lol. It seems I had a decent run here! Now to keep it going..
