Congratulations! Winning the competition back to back show how conversant you're with the league... I've been terrible or let me say I lost interest way to early I was just playing for a chance at the best overall point in a round (lol).

Congratulations to other winners as well, watch your back for the upcoming season!

[tomahawk9]

hold up! @casperBGD you've won two la liga pools in a row?? Impressive!

Congrats!

heh! looks like i was the party pooper this season LOL top 3 this year coulda finished with the exact same users in the exact same spots as last season, but here i am 

[LTU_btc]

Personally for me it was good season, but not for my team definitely. I just checked that I got just 2 yellow caps during season, but managed to finnish 3rd So, it means that I was consistent enough during whole season even without high scoring rounds.
P.S. Don't forget that there is 2 meaningless games on Sunday remaining, which will close season.

So, Luis Suarez brings La Liga title for Atletico Madrid. Too old for Barcelona, but one of key players in Atletico.

the disrespect from FC Barcelona came back to bite them (heh!) in the arse. 4th best striker of the season with 20 goals, meanwhile, griezmann and dembele, 18 goals 

And history repeated again today. After few years in Barcelona, David Villa wasn't needed for Barcelona anymore. So, he left to Atletico and on the same 201/14 season he won La Liga with Atletico.

, but managed to get La liga pool, back-to-back

congrats to tomahawk9 on second place, and third is still open?
I also think that bigdaddy won 20 points in a round, as highest score in the pool

Congrats, well deseved win! I think you were leading almost whole season. Also, from 312.5 points last season to 380.5 points this one is also impressiv thing. But it looks that we all improvedc, in comparison with last season. Did we got experts in La Liga, or it's just become more predictable ?
And yeah, I just checked, @bigdaddy is highest scorer this season. Congrat to him.
@casperBGD, I wish better next season for your Valencia, it's shame to see this team fighting for bottom table spots.

@LTU I was JUST talking the same about David Villa early this morning over breakfast with some friends on phone:) It wasn't as bad as this I would say though, not as I remember, and definitely not to the same emotions as Suarez and especially because he was Messi's best friend in the team.

Congrats to all big daddy, tomahawk and of course casper, the true La Liga champion here:)

Just wanted to comment on that but you were faster Intruder alert!

Not over yet, I just need 6 points from last 2 games and @LTU_btc to get 0 points, easy peasy. But realistically I'll finish 4th in this pool and 4th in Serie A pool, when first 3 positions are paying - typical.

@casperBGD destroyed us this season, congrats man.

Edit: I am gonna have some beef with Superbru if Sevilla games ends as a draw. I wanted to change my prediction to 1:1 knowing LTU_btc will most probably have them to win and then the page was not working and we both have 2:0. I got so close...

[slaman29]

Superbru did not work at all for me the whole of yesterday for any pool. So I think we need to remind each other that picks should be entered way early especially on big days like final matchday. Not that I would benefit from changing anything of course just I was annoyed to not be able to check if I filled everything on all the pools:)

Congrats again everyone!

[casperBGD]

here is my address - bc1qkgscpmuhpxz4ghehmm584vcdxpyy72jgcpsgcv

great season, hopefully we will all be there for next season pool and the participants number will be increased
as well, hopefully Valencia will be back into top4, and kick Sevilla out, but that could be too much to hope for at the moment

nevertheless, it is always good to see underdogs with the title, Atletico is not that far, as Lille in France, but more interesting than Bavarians taking the title each and every season, without competition

[tomahawk9]

@Trofo   sent you a PM (:

hope to see you all in the next La Liga pool. I'll definitely win that one for sure  

[LTU_btc]

@Trofo, I sent you PM with BTC address.
Note for me - not to gamble everything and keep these BTC for signup on EURO or Copa America pool .

[slaman29]

Next season I forbid anyone from locking in picks and seeing my shitty picks to laugh at me, one should only laugh at me after everything is done and we see it publicly.

Question for the winners, did you make money betting on La Liga? I actually did this season and would make more if I was not so stubborn to keep betting on my team Barca:)

interesting question, I am usually betting just for fun, and do not count that as making money, but could say that, despite pool results, I have much more success in EPL than La liga (maybe that is just a bias)

on the other hand, pools are specific, because one usually do not bet on exact scores, and that is what makes most part of success in the pool, you can have all ten scores right, and someone else could have only four exact results to be better than you

[Trofo]

Got all the addressees for both pools, combined my bulk tx files but waiting a bit for fees to drop down. Currently they are quite high, I am usually making transactions with one input and one output which is not that bad but this one has almost 15 inputs and 4 outputs. If anybody is an "expert" on bitcoin fees, feel free to advise the amount to use, otherwise I'll do some research tonight and then send the rewards. I am usually paying for confirmation inside 3 blocks but I fell like it would be better to save money on this one and let it confirm in couple of hours or even day. Usually the fees drop down in evening hours so....

@buwaytress
tagging you here since I know you have some experience in the matter

Been out for a while, taking a break after that Bustadice long run, but I didn't want to miss out congratulating the winners.

So, Congratulations to all of you guys @casperBGD, @tomahawk9, @LTU_btc and @big_daddy. It was a long nonstop season
Honestly, at some points, I even missed entering some picks because I was caught off guard by the ever continuous game weeks. It was a hell of rollercoaster season , so I would say it wasn't easy at all but you guys come out at the top.

What bustadice long run haha? Curious to know;) I don't play there anymore, just now at Bitdice but since the bullrun have not played much long sessions anymore because worried I will lose everything like before plus smaller amounts of btc now price is so expensive!

And again yeah it was a crazy season for me too, so unimaginable it felt like two seasons were played back to back because of Covid:)

[logfiles]

What bustadice long run haha? Curious to know;)

I am organizing Copa America pool at the moment. Maybe you want in?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5337628.0

I have just secured sponsorship for the pool via best bookie at the moment - who else than Sportsbet. I will write it officially tomorrow on Copa pool page but I am very happy with the deal and I think all of you will be happy as well 

[Trofo]

Hey guys, time to bump our Spanish La Liga thread, can't have it dropping that low with the league start less than a month away I am gonna use this same thread and redesign OP a little bit in next few days. Not official yet but we will be sponsored by Sportsbet this season, I am expecting a nice boost to the pot and probably some side competitions with free bets as well as well. Still negotiating.

You can already state your intent to participate which will get you a PM as a reminder when time comes close. I will start collecting money 2 weeks before La Liga starts.

La Liga and our pool start at Friday, August 13th, book the date

Bring it on mate! I'm in it to win it this time around!

I'm actually looking forward to the new season as Barcelona fan.. I would suggest you put up the collection early so that we can get the maximum number of participants.

[tomahawk9]
