So, I was just 1 point away from 6th place, damn. Needed one more goal from Barcelona to get exact score and that my opponent wouldn't get it. At least got shared prize for highest yellow cap. Congrats to all guys who ended in prize spots and winner @jeremypwr who didn't left chance for anyone
Few words about last round. It's impressive how Dovbyk took top scorer title from Sorloth by scoring hattrick on last round. And Almeria said goodbye to La Liga in style by winning 6:1 against Cadiz.
Trofo and Sportsbet, thank you for another season!

Was super happy managing this pool for another season. 4th in the row if I am not mistaken.


With that I have a small request. Take your time and leave trust ratings and customize your trust lists. Not asking just for myself but generally for all the people that are handling large amounts of money on regular basis and always delivering promptly. For instance just this year I could have walked with 0.3BTC just from these 2 pools. That is without all the other stuff I am handling   Temptations, temptations, but I am staying for bragging rights 

I am also guilty of this and sometimes I took some members for granted, plan to rectify it in the upcoming months as much as possible.

What a crazy last round, for me it was thé hardest round to make thé right picks as every game was meaningless and it could have gone every way. Since there wasn't much separating 3rd position to the 10th position, it was anyone's chance to get into the paying spots. The last games were very intense for us on the paying positions as the rankings were changing throughout the round.
All in all it was very fun to be part of this pool, and a big thank  you to everyone who organized and sponsored this event, from Trofo to sportsbet.io.
Also congrats to Jeremy for kicking ass and all the other winners.

P.S. @Trofo Prize has been received already!! Thank you!!

[notblox1]

Final places. Still, some addresses missing. Gonna send PMs now.

Thank you.
I confirm that payment reward from evil snake has received its destination safely.

Congratulations to amazing first place and all other winners, but nobody else from LaLiga competition didnt win reward and 22 place in leaderboard than me  
This lowest place reward win sounds even better when we know that there was total of 27 teams in this competition.
For new season I need new strategy.

This is a good reminder to everyone. Admittedly, I haven't been very good with updating my trust lists, but in general, I do try to remember to leave a feedback whenever users have gone through great lengths in either contributing to the forum, or keeping the space safe.

By hosting these interactive pools, they not only bring value to participation, they increase assurance and reputation of the forum as having actual people you can trust with (increasingly) large sums of money.

Payment received!

Thanks you Trofo for all, i already have you in my trusted list. But i have to be more frecuent on give trust to some users.

Its not easy to be the guard of all the funds.


I have some ideas for next year i hope i receive some support from you guys!

[slaman29]

Thanks everyone for the great time. I will leave some trust records also for sure, it's just I always thought the trust was supposed to be for people you traded with before where you sent money first. All my feedback is about this that I gave a lot of funds first, and the person honored their end, yes even Sportsbet since I deposit first lol. but I guess I didn't read about updates since years

All of you guys managing funds deserve recognition of trust. I hope you are all at least getting paid for it lol

I don't think anybody is getting paid for the pools. I know I am not  We are doing it for the love of the game and providing value to the forum.

BSFL is a different beast, there is much more work involved and no matter how much I like it I wouldn't be doing that for free.

I always assumed you guys get paid or have a small token for the gesture

Personally, I would agree that everyone who participates can agree that you guys should get a small fee for managing, at least to recognize that it's SOME effort to look for sponsorships. It's not just about asking. If most of us ask, we would probably get redtag for scam lol it's your reputation and trust that allows sponsors to agree, and us to benefit.

In this case, I would be more than happy to have 5% or even 10% increase of fee to go to you guys

There's no need for that and I would be the first to complain if somebody took a percentage of rewards for running the superbru pool.

As I said, we (at least I am) are doing it for the community and we always take part, so better sponsorship means better rewards for us as well. Running a superbru pool isn't a lot of work. Only real risk we take is escrowing the money for rewards and the hassle of collecting all the payments.

Thank you for the payment. It was fast and smooth. I have also left my trust for you already. I'm quite satisfied with the way you are managing pools. It has been a long run and I finished in the 5th place. Next time I join, my target is going to be a higher finish than that.    Congrats on your big success jeremypwr. Enjoy your prize!

By the way I don't think that anyone is given money to manage a pool.

[Trofo]

My comment wasn't targeted to those of you that manage your trust lists and leave feedback, it was more of a wake-up call to the majority that doesn't use this feature of a forum. I know I have been guilty of neglecting it way too often and I believe it brings a lot to that something that makes this forum stand up from all the rest. You don't need to leave me a trust rating or include me in your trust lists, but please do it for the people you actually trust and do business with.


Now for something completely different, all of you have free entry to our Last Man Standing competition so if you haven't already, go sign up and see if you can be the one to take home at least 100mBTC.

@Trofo Late reply and yes, the hassle of keeping the money, and the risk as well, that's what the 'fee' should be about.

Hassle of pool is almost zero I guess if Superbru is used. Unless there's some work behind scenes I didn't know about.

All forum escrows here take a fee, minimum 3%. Even in ICO days some forum legendarys took 10% fee just for holding the money, not even about distributing. Later they took all the fork coins too, I guess as fee for distributing (returning).

All is good until the money is lost, or something bad happens, what if wallet is lost, will pool managers hold max responsibility? Probably yes, and that's unfair

BTW Ancelotti said Real Madrid boycotting CWC. GOOD!!

[slaman29]

Bump to get ready for new Spanish La Liga!

After my LMS success with Spain in football and tennis, I'm feeling good again about La Liga, despite every season performing actually worse than the leagues I know less about. That's life in Superbru I guess

Personally praying nobody snatches Nico Williams (we are trying to sign him) and Lamine Yamal from us before season starts!!

Starting the talks about sponsorship these days and then we will see what we have to work with. Pool will be here for sure even if we only have sign up fees for rewards but I don't think it will come to that.

Don't worry, whatever the result, I'm playing. It will be like good old days all the time here, hopefully we get some of the COPA guys to come over anyway.

It was a very long empty spell for me in all pools but I'm having very good vibes about Barca for no reason, this new season I will only bet on them early, and leave them alone so not to jinx them. World for COPA and EURO

[Trofo]

Hey guys, good news, we are back for another season. Main sponsorships will be 2000$ in BTC and we will have our usual free bets to dish out for yellow caps.

All the details will come in couple of days when I officially lunch the pool. For now just let me know if you feel strongly about buy inn. It will be at least 1mBTC and not more than 2mBTC.

Same goes for Serie A as usual.

[Saint-loup]

Wow congratulations on getting such sponsorship, $2000+free bets that's very generous. Thanks to Sportsbet, because I guess they will be the one sponsoring the pool this season again. I don't know why but I was thinking they were less interested by such sponsoring(maybe because of the eurocup).
Anyway a fee between 1mbtc and 2mbtc would be ok for me. And I hope many people will participate now Spain is champion of Europe.

[Trofo]

Anyone else willing to comment on buy in fee? Pool is ready to start and prizes will be roughly as follows. We are getting following from Sportsbet.
1. 2000$ in BTC cash
2. 0.5 mBTC free bet for all participants paid when the league starts and we have final number of participants
3. 1 mBTC for each week yellow cap winner

I wanna go for 1.5mBTC but wouldn't want to prize someone out if they would play for 1mBTC. Same conditions go for the sister pool - Serie A.
