Congrats to all the winners, some people cleaning in both of my pools. Lucky bastards

congrats to all winners from my side as well
Valencia secured their spot in La Liga for next season, and that is good enough for this season

this was a basically draw round, with 6 draws, especially in relegation fight, where there were all draws expect for Celta win (shame on Barca, losing several matches to relegation fighters (Celta, Valladolid), but also Sociedad, after being almost confirmed as Champions)
pity for Valladolid, Ronaldo will have to settle with another Segunda season and fight for La Liga

Congrats to all the winners, some people cleaning in both of my pools. Lucky bastards

Thanks for the congratulations and congratulations to all the winners!
I still can't believe that after the first half of yesterday's games, which almost all (except one, it seems) were unsuccessful for me, I was able to take off from 5th to 3rd place and in fact the gap from the first turned out to be much less than it was in the season. My bet on scoring draws has fully justified itself.

Once again I congratulate everyone and I think we will all meet in the pool next season - it's hard to refuse such entertainment

@KTChampions there was about 18.5 mBTC left for you in the end. Hope you don't mind I always select one place for tx fees begging of the season and that is always the one I boost most from initial rewards which are shown in percentages. Seems like most fair solution.

[slaman29]

Well done on closing this pool, successfully. I hope Sportsbet loved the results too.

And indeed KTChampions, you jumped above me in the last rounds, and then jumped 2 more places. Trofo yellow cap shows he is such a silent bastard, but Saint loup, you and icopress is the biggest cleaner in all these pools in my memory without checking.

See everyone next season. I don't mind paying early too regardless of sponsorship or not I think we should make this a regular thing without counting on prizes. 100% fees is fine for me too!!

[CLS63]

Thank you Trofo for managing a pool without problems again. I hope pools continue next season. My performance dropped down in all the pools on the recent weeks. Despite this I'm very happy for winning a prize in the La Liga, Premier League and BSFL all this season. Besides I thank sportsbet.io and Steve very much for supporting the pools on the forum.

Pools will continue don't worry. I can't guarantee how much money we will get from sponsors and if it will be our usual benefactor Sportsbet or someone else but I can guarantee pool will be here. As slaman said we always have our own sign in fees to contribute if nothing else.

[darxiaomi]

Congratulations for all the winners on both pools, what a bad luck for saint loup, losing it in the last round.

In my case i dont know when i lost so bad the train in this pools, but when i wake up it was too late.

I expect the next year can be more competitivie in all the pools and not only in one or two.

Thanks, I got the win! And yes, no problem, I won too much this season to pay attention to commissions 
Quite a funny feeling - I'm glad that everything is over (also because I fixed the win), but there is already a desire for the next season to start as soon as possible

I'm definitely in business. Next season I will probably even participate in random leagues (like Ligue 1 or Bundesliga).

we actually do not have Ligue 1 pool
but it would be too much, I am almost regular in all pools, and this season proved that it is too much, when counting Fantasy as well

but for La Liga I am here for sure, it is a my favorite league probably, and until this season, one with best results so far, have to bring back some good incentives on results

I did not know about Ligue 1, but maybe next season there will be a sponsor + organizer for this league. I remember that this season I chose the pools that were suitable for me and it was important for me that everything happens on one platform - the superbru seemed to me as convenient as possible. I don't know if I will register on other platforms (I remember that some pools use other platforms) since it's quite difficult to be everywhere, it brings confusion to the brain

It is great news! I'm already saying that I will absolutely be in the pool next season.

We used Kicktipp for the Bundesliga pool and I didn't like its point scoring system very much. However as the website interface is quite simple and useful I liked it very much. Registering a few more websites doesn't create a big problem as much as it seems.

If there happen to be a Ligue 1 pool for the upcoming season, I'm definitely going to be in for it, all things considered, I believe it only broadens my knowledge and awareness about this leagues too, It was definitely a handful of task to behold last season participating in all those pools and the kind of awareness and strategy that is required of FPL was the most draining not going to lie, but it was always fun down the stretch, but extremely strenuous if don't do the picks in advance and just review later, I mean spending the whole of Fridays doing those or Thursdays, if you've got Friday fixtures, this is a much needed break to be honest.

LOL thank you very much for the support darxiaomi but I'm very happy with this second place and its prize of course even if it's almost half of the first rank prize, that's still a very nice and big price for such a pool. I knew it will be very difficult to manage to keep the first rank since several contestants were just behind me, and the competition was very disputed. Anyway it would be boring if this kind of things wouldn't happen. So congratulations to Leea-1334 and all the winners, and thank you very much to Trofo, Sportsbet, and to all the participants, for this awesome 10 months long contest. I don't think I will be able to dedicate the same amount of time to the pools in the coming year, but I think I will at least try to subscribe in order to support the pool for the next season. So see you soon in August I hope.

[CLS63]

I'm in every pool on the forum. Therefore I would absolutely join if there is a pool to be opened for the Ligue 1 as well. However I don't think there would be a big interest in a pool for the Ligue 1.

I hope that you can manage to allocate time for pools next season. Because I want to get past you in pools next year but if you can't allocate that time then it wouldn't mean anything.

Oh not please, dont make me play another one, at this pace we are ended playing in the 2030 pools for 45 leagues.   

But in the toher hand..... we can have 1 pool fo each top 5 leagues, also i see one new "casino" here in BTC who have a lot of sponsors on Ligue 1......

Is there some other scoring system other than 3 points for a exact score, 1.5 for a close score, and 1 for a simple score? This can be interesting as it is possible that with a different scoring system, other guessing strategies will be more profitable.
It's possible that using multiple sites isn't that hard, but it seems to me that the chances of forgetting to make a forecast on time are higher than using one platform that constantly sends you notifications. Will see.

There are a number of options like Kicktipp which was used for the Bundesliga pool this season, it has an entirely different scoring system, but then I wouldn't want the current pool to be transitioned into another platform, I like how the current pools are split into different platforms for now, and I'll like to leave it that way to keep everything separated, to make the competition more worth while being spread across a couple platforms it helps have some level of fairness to people who would prefer this over that and are participants of major pools.

Alaves and Levante played first play-off final for a La Liga spot, and it finished without goals
next Saturday is a re-match decider, and Levante will be a host, but I don't see that as a big advantage, they had similar performance during season, and it will be a close call to see who is coming back

Las Palmas and Granada are already promoted, in a fury finish in Segunda

Watched this game and it was really boring. Both teams left everything for 2nd leg. 0:0 probably is better result for Levante, as 2nd leg will be played in Valencia. Really want to see return of Levante, they used to play quite attractive football and always were difficult for big teams. Also, would be nice to see Roberto Soldado last dance in La Liga, offcourse he can't be 90 minutes player anymore, but can be usedul for 20-30 minutes.

Soldado is still playing? Had no idea. I thought he retired after his spell at Granada. How old is he? Surely close to 40.

Did not watch any of lower league games, gonna wait until new season to actually see the promoted clubs in action.
