Updated the OP, give it a read guys and tell me if I missed something.

After you send the money for the pool please make sure to also send me a tx id trough the PM, or write it here in the thread. Then check the paid participants part for confirmation next day:)

Oops! I sent my payment soon after I posted that I would pay yesterday and forgot to come back here and say I did it:) I PM'd you my tx ID.

Being a culer, last couple of days were horrible for me. Can't tell you the mental pressure after seeing my favorite team getting smashed by German Giants by 8 to 2. But now I am ok and ready to support FC Barcelona once again. We won't let our team become Milan and support any kind of revamp team comes up with. Once a culer, always a culer!

Thank you Trofo for coming up with the prediction pool for La Liga. Last year, I joined Premier League pool hosted by hilariousandco but my favorite league is La Liga and prefer it over EPL any day. I can already see 10+ names in OP so it gonna be interesting competition. Beware people, I am La Liga expert and you won't find it easy to end in Top 3 playing with me.

Jk aside, consider me in. I will send 0.0025 BTC to that address soon.

Not a natural Catalan here but spiritual supporter of Barca. I guess you and me know the heartbreak for 4 seasons in a row now, it's like we love to go to Champions League to be humiliated by French, Italian, English and now German teams. And that is the life of a football fan. We live and die with our teams, no matter what.

Look forward to do better in this league than in EPL and CL where I'm bottom:p

You are the reason I wrote that, I have seen that I have extra money on addy and nobody informed me of joining. Did not want to ask outright since it could have invited some scammer to try and claim the spot for free

[casperBGD]

it is interesting that there is lot more discussion on Calcio topic, and here we have more participants that are involved in the competition at this point

hopefully, both competitions will have ten or more participants

[buwaytress]

Ah slaman29, yeah, you know this forum is full of good people but also quite a lot of funny characters. I'm quite pleased to see this number of confirmed payments already, looking forward to seeing how well you all perform. At least we know in here there will be actual gamblers posting!

casperBGD: invite your friends too to the Italian one. I'll up the sponsorship by 50% if we get 15 or more!

[tokeweed]

^  Get the whole bunch of Chipmixer people in here.  Pretty sure you guys have some BTC's to spare.  

Anyway Trofo, payment sent and txid sent to you via pm.  Leezz gooo!  This season should be fun.  I hope the covid thing is all over now and won't come back.

[Harkorede]

Seen it, still unconfirmed as expected but as you said we have time so...Will add you to the list officially when it confirms.

Small update for participants:
1. Please write your Superbru username when you are posting in this topic next time so I can put it next to your name in OP. That way we know who is who and I can check who already joined the pool and who forgot. So I can send you reminder via PM
2. You will get PM with password to join the pool as soon as I am able to make actual pool on Superbru. They still haven't opened tournaments for any league except Premier League. They will open them at least a week or two before the actual league begins so no worries.
3. There is 9 people in the pool already which I consider quite good since we still have a lot of time before actual competition starts. I'll also send PM reminders to the people which were on the interested list and didn't already join about two weeks before we start.

Check under number 2 in my post above yours.

If I wasn't clear enough - Superbru pool does not exist at this moment since Superbru didn't make La Liga tournaments available yet. As soon as they enter all the data I will create pool and send links/passwords.

Damn, I forgot about you. Now I am looking at pool finances and wondering why I have one fee extra, needed a couple minutes to remember Just woke up, brain needs a bit more times it seems.

Anyway, tx confirmed and you are in (both pools).

That brings us to 9 paid participants so far. I am sure big_daddy will join us soon so that will be 10. C'mon guys, spread the word we need 5 more to get additional sponsor money

[big_daddy]

^of course I'm IN 

This is my TX with the pool fee https://blockstream.info/tx/e58ce134fa352bb66ad72e094d5989469e6c07bed709262dd3bb2e665eda0470

my Superbru username is bigdaddy


Come on guys, next week is near, LaLiga is starting the new season

[Trofo]

The moment has come - Superbru has finally opened the La Liga tournaments and I have created our pool. Access to the pool is via link or password + I need to personally admit you to the pool (that is another reason why I need to know your Superbru nickname). I will send links via PM to all the paid participants in the next half an hour. If I missed some of you let me know but I should be able to manage 10 of us without much problems.

Edit: Sent all the links, first game is only 10 days away, you can already start entering your results.

[casperBGD]

entered, approved, let the games begin

this could be an interesting season, IMO Barcelona will not finish within top 2
nevertheless, could not say who will join Real Madrid in that top spot fight, Atletico or Sevilla, or some other team will have their season, could see just Sociedad and Valencia having the financial and administrative background to win constantly during season, but did not catch that they improved their teams

but, for a prognosis before the season sake - title will stay in Madrid

[tyKiwanuka]

I think I joined, still have to get familiar with everything, Superbru noob here, but I will get there

@Trofo
My nick is the same as here: tyKiwanuka

And thanks again for managing things for us

If I forget to submit my picks (which I hope won't happen), does this mean that some default picks will get entered ?

[Trofo]

You joined and I already approved you, so all set

If I forget to submit my picks (which I hope won't happen), does this mean that some default picks will get entered ?

Yes, but you only have a limited amount of those default picks. I think there is about 10 of them so if you miss one whole match day you are pretty match out. You can now enter your results all the way to the final match day and make sure you don't forget. Later you can change your picks as much as you want until the game starts or you lock the picks. You will also get Email notification if you haven't done picks 3 days before and another notification 1 day before games start.

After you lock the picks you can't change it anymore but you can check what others played in the pool. There is no need to lock the picks they get locked automatically when the game starts.

Hopefully, that covers everything.

I am playing these pools for 4 leagues so I usually enter all the picks about one week in advance and then I tinker before the matches start. Never locking any picks unless I plan to bet something big on particular game. In that case I lock that pick and check what pool leaders think about my choice

Paid! Tx sent! Let's fucking do this!! Am I the only Real Madrid fan here? We're gonna win this year again, bois, back to back! 

yo, it's gonna be so easy to predict Barcelona's scorelines without messi and a new manager, probably a lot of upsets in the first couple of months lol

Actually, there are 15.

Received the PM but I don't know if I will join or not. I may get inactive in bitcointalk even for a while as I have been planning of a new business and have scheduled a lot of works.

I'm here with you, man but if I do participate which I'm not sure yet.

[Rifmax]

Hey friends, I will also participate in this pool, I am really on vacation. I will send the coordinates after I go home, currently I cannot access my wallet.

[webtricks]

At last air is clear! Messi will remain in Barcelona. He spit out lots of words on club condition, President and even Koeman's project. He clearly said that he doesn't believe what Koeman is trying to do in the squad. Considering all the factors, I think it will be another disaster year for FCB but being long time supporter of the club, I will stand with the club for yet another year. Let's hope for the best.

I was waiting for the above news to clear before sending the pool entry fees. As it is now clear, consider me in and I will send the fees soon.

It seems Messi will not leave Barcelona

Barcelona's all-time leading goalscorer Lionel Messi says he is staying because it is "impossible" for any team to pay his release clause and he does not want to face "the club I love" in court.
