⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Spanish La Liga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2024/2025

[Trofo]

Main sponsor:
I am happy to announce that once again our main Sponsor is Sportsbet.io
I believe no further introduction is necessary since we are talking about top crypto bookie here. I am sure you all have an account there and if you don't, what are you waiting for?
The deal includes:
1. 2000$ paid in BTC for pool rewards
2. 0.5 mBTC free bet for all participants paid when the league starts and we have the final number of participants
3. 1 mBTC for each week yellow cap winner


How this pool works
Welcome to Spanish La Liga Prediction pool discussion thread. My intention is to run a pool on Superbru for the next season. This will be organized very similar as current Premier League Pool and Champions League pool. If you took part in any of them no need to read further, you already know most stuff.

For prediction, we will use Superbru page and we will have complementary discussion topic here on the forum for participants only. Superbru has been around for years and they are very good at providing custom pools for all kinds of sports. The idea of the game is to predict correct scores from all the games which gives you max points (3). If you get outcome correct but not the score there is still some points awarded (1-1.5). The winner is the person with most points at the end of the season.


Buy in
This is a paid pool and buy in is set to 1 mBTC, just over 60$ at this moment. This seems like a very fair price for a whole year of prediction fun + nice prizes boosted by our sponsor. All the collected money will be used for prizes.

Rewards:
Season 2024-2025 rewards structure:
1. Place - 27 mBTC (fees are paid from this prize)
2. Place - 13 mBTC
3. Place - 9 mBTC
4. Place - 7 mBTC
5. Place - 5,5 mBTC
Highest overall yellow cap - 5,5 mBTC

There is no reserve for fees so first place will sponsor our transaction. Fee will be set to confirm inside 5 blocks. In case fees stay like they are now that isn't important but if we get some crazy situations and overall fee gets over 1 mBTC I will spread it over other rewards as well proportionally. I never consolidated inputs before but if you think that is something you want me to do, let me know.

Remarks:
*There is no sharing of the prizes, Superbru has implemented tie-breakers and I will use their final table as basis to pay out rewards


Hopefully BTC will be worth much more by the time we end the pool and prizes will be so much better

Escrow and payment address (same as last year)
I am escrow for the funds on below mentioned address. In order to participate in the La Liga pool please pay 1 mBTC (around 60$ at the moment) to below address and send me a tx via pm so I know who sent the money. Be sure to include your Sportsbet and Superbru usernames in the same PM. Thank you.

I'm currently a participant of the free pool, and I'm hoping we would get more participants this time around, count me in on this 

[LTU_btc]

I also played in free pool this season. You can count me in!

[casperBGD]

count me in, hopefully next season will be better in La liga than this one, and Atletico or someone else would try to get into top two

[RapTarX]

Although I barely join such pool, I am interested to join the pool this time. Looking for more participants. Would be great to see above 15 participants to have a better riding.

[-CryptoViking-]

I will join the pool if there will be more then 15 interested participants, that would ensure that this would be interesting and fun to play. La Liga can't be worse next season then what it was this season for sure.

Added you and put an 15+ conditional to your name:)

Spread the word guys for this pool, next season will come sooner than anybody expects. For now the start date is set for September 12th, that is a bout month and a half away and we still have to finish all Champions Leagues matches before. That will be very short break for players from top tier clubs.

[buwaytress]

Trofo, I would have joined this if I knew about it, somehow I did not see it easily, nor the other.

Anyway, registering my interest here. I will probably be throwing money away even more than in the EPL pool, but since I'm so generous, I might as well support the gambling people in this forum;)

I think fixing the entry at 0.002 to 0.003 BTC would be good, giving BTC price. Heck if we ATH in September, that's going to be a $40 fee haha.

Also, regardless of whether I participate or not, I am also stating my intent to sponsor additional funds for my very small crypto business that I work on with a few others. It's not the best of times for everyone, even before the pandemic, but it's a small bunch of people doing their best to support the industry and a few freelancers all over the world, so I always do my best;)

I cannot put down a very hard number down, but I can say with some certainty that it should be BTC0.01 to the prize pool if we get 10 paying members, which I'll send to the host before the season starts. I can't promise much more BUT if I see participation from more established forum members, I will likely look to boost that amount.

I posted the links in our Premier League pool once or twice and on discussion threads for the leagues. I am putting you on the list
Entry will be somewhere in that price range.

Great man, I knew I could count on you, and hopefully with this extra boost to the prize pool we will get some more participation from other established forum members.

[LTU_btc]

Bump!
C'mon people, where are you? There is just 7 players yet... I thought there is way more people interested in La Liga.

[slaman29]

Count me in please! I played the EPL pool last 2 seasons, and last one only the Champions League, Barca small fan here. Not a serious one like most people, just a regular supporter but ok why not, maybe I do better in a league I like watching the most:) But please remind us before we start ok?
 
Hi buwaytress, thanks for sponsoring, seems like you always have a kindness for all these efforts:)

[Trofo]

I have put you on the list. Don't worry you will know when it starts, I will start collecting money if/when we reach 10 participants and probably sent a PM to all users who expressed a willingness to join. And we will get some extra traffic here in the tread before the actual league starts for sure.

If Bitcoin price stays how it is at the moment I am considering to put buy in on round number of 0.0025 BTC. That is just about something less than 30$. Sounds like a nice amount for the whole year of playing pool and especially now when we have sponsor. If there is 10 of that will result with a rewards pot of 0.035 BTC which is a little more than 400$ and is already a nice sum to win.

Rewards would be something like
1. 200$
2. 120$
3. 40$
overall best round result 40$

So, 3rd guy and the one with best round result get more than they paid for. Hopefully BTC will go significantly up in the next year and our rewards will be that much better. I will put out the "official" rewards as rounded BTC amounts after we start the pool so there is no confusion but they will be similar to those written above if we have about 10 players. If we get more players (15-20) I will add more paid places. Maybe first 5 or something.


I just spoke with our sponsor and if we manage to get 15 participants we will get a top up in sponsored money from 0.01 to 0.015BTC. So go get some other people to join

[big_daddy]

ok, count me in 
"my" club is still in LaLiga2 (Rayo Vallecano), maybe next year will be promoted in the first league

[casperBGD]

and probably sent a PM to all users who expressed a willingness to join

it is a good idea, i will probably hit the road in September, if they open borders for us to get to the sea, so will be less active, and would like to start from the beginning
of course, will follow, but in any case, it is good to have remainder

[Trofo]

We still have some time before La Liga starts but I have decided to open up the addresses for payment early in order to let you save some money on the fees and before our buy in price crosses 30$ threshold.

Buy in for BitcoinPRBuzz.com's Spanish La Liga Football Prediction Pool is set to 0.0025BTC (2.5mBTC). That amount sounds very reasonable to me when you take into account that this is for whole season and that we have a sponsor.

At the end of this post follows a dedicated address for this pool, please send your buy in before La Liga starts.  I have already deposited my buy in on that address. After you pay please reply here with tx id or send me a pm. Thanks. I will send you a password for joining the pool after that. The actual Superbru pool still isn't made since they didn't create LaLiga in their system yet.

Will update the OP later in day but wanted to make a new post for this so that we have an address in a post which will not be edited.

This sounds like a very fair deal, and I think it's great to give the sponsor some traffic so they feel it's worth it to sponsor us every season;)

I don't know very many people on the forum but I'll try and share the link with more people. I am always wondering though why so many people are in gambling thread but so few are actually placing bets! I will send my payment today:)

[LTU_btc]

Ok, I'm going to send BTC to both Serie A and La Liga pools later today.

ok, count me in 
"my" club is still in LaLiga2 (Rayo Vallecano), maybe next year will be promoted in the first league

I'm curious how did pick this team because they don't have significant achievements. For me Rayo is one of teams that I unlike most in Spain, after Real Madrid and Espanyol.
Any way, they were just 1 point behind promotion playoffs this year.

I think we all know answer . They are here to take money from sig. campaigns and they aren't ready to put their own money.

[webtricks]

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.

My first and only team is NK Rijeka  than I have a few more teams that I love and support: Internazionale, Liverpool and Rayo
Why Rayo? well it’s a long story, but let’s say in a few words, is the complete opposite to Real Madrid

[Trofo]

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:)
