⚽ Looking for sponsor ⚽ Spanish La Liga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread

[LTU_btc]

Today when I was thinking about new season, one random thought came to my head. We all will agree that platforms that we use now don't have most fair scoring system. Because now you're same when you predict boring 1:0 or 2:1 and results like 3:3 or Leganes win against Barca or Real. In reality these results don't have same weight, but in long term it's most beneficial to predict 1:0, 1:1 or 2:1 than to risk.
During World Cup one local platform was offering odds based prediction. Odds = points. You get points for predicitng outcome - home or away win and draw. And then you get points for predicting exact score. If you manage to hit exact score, you can get a lot of points. And it's probably most fair system. But problem that none of platforms isn't offering such things...

As for the prizes, I think if a sponsor is not found, it would be better if they were distributed more widely than 2-3 places (so that participants do not lose interest in the middle of the tournament if they start poorly).

Completely agree.

P.S. Good luck to everyone and enjoy the Real Madrid title

Agree with prize distributions. I know, I know, bigger prizes for a few people are more attractive as a pull but I really feel spreading it out just encourages people to play much longer. Obviously, of course, this should also depend on how many people pay. If it's just 10 of us, keep it at 2 prizes haha.

I'm also playing, just allow me and my RTG teammates to figure out how to pay for each other (some got excited and paid already haha). I want to try help keep inputs low.

Do you want to bet on Barça to win the title and Mourinho to receive 5+ red cards? Or no more than 5 red cards? Please clarify.

Yes please, actually, I'd like to get a price for both options:

Barca title + Mourinho 5+ red cards (La Liga only)
Barca title + Mourinho fewer than 5 red cards (La Liga only)

Hmm... that's a tough task. I'm wondering if you have your own ideas about quotes (or information from some niche/local markets) and are you trying to catch me or do you want to see the numbers to start your assessment? 

I'd write out the pricing in detail, but I'm afraid the bookmakers' AI bots will steal my analysis, so I'll just give the raw numbers:

Barca title + Mourinho Total red cards Over 4.5 (La Liga only) = 24
Barca title + Mourinho Total red cards Under 4.5 (La Liga only) = 2

What do you think? I think that's a fair assessment, but I'm not sure I'm ready to accept a 1 in 24 bet, nor am I ready to be a bettor on that outcome.

Did I miss something and are you talking about some kind of side bets or just bookmaker lines?
As a Real Madrid fan, I'm completely satisfied with the current odds:

Barcelona - 1.80
Real - 2.15

I'm certainly biased, but I find it hard to believe that Real will lose the title to crisis-ridden Barcelona three times in a row. I already have a bunch of outrights (published them here), now I need to make particularly daring one like: Real, Haaland, Kane, PSG, Bayern, Atletico top 4, Dortmund top 4.

I'm talking about this, I need more people to bet on Real Madrid (great odds) so that I can do Barca at 2x. I'm biased to Barca but I actually feel they are a risk to take at 1.8 and only 2x makes it cross the line of 'worthy' of considering. My feeling as a fan aside, I think we need to seriously go far in Champions League so it could even be at the cost of La Liga.

Your offer Barca title + Mourinho under 4.5 reds is only 2x, but actually that would be fun to take, would you like to do a simple 1mbtc fun sidebet if I take this? My only problem with sidebets is I cannot remember them

[Trofo]

La Liga starting in a matter of hours, last call to make your picks.

Will have a bit less players in the pool than usual but we are already well over 10 participants which isn't that bad.

[buwaytress]

Thanks for getting the prices, KT, I guess I probably should just pass on that season-long bet and save that sidebet cash and put it towards a donation to EffPeeEll... not even sure why but I guess I'm caving in to pressure. So Getafe doing Getafe things, but is Sevilla still the bedshitter we've known them to be for all the life of this pool?

Will be a solid pool in the end, quite a few of us inside already.

[LTU_btc]

I also have paid, here we go:
c55919bce81fcc68ded4ce4c0c706a3c3a04ccaff3cb56bcf5be110e09fa4a2b
Trofo, please update the OP, there is lot of outdated stuff like sponsor, buyins, free bets, rewards and etc, it's a bit confusing.

Ferran Torres to PSG, @slaman29, what do you think about it? With Lewa, Rashford and Torres leaving, we don't have players who scored 75 goals last season. Torees was player who was wasting so many chances to score abut I will miss him. Now our attack looks so meh and it will be nervous last weeks of transferwindow.

I know it is, nothing except escrow addy is good there. Waiting for some sponsors to get back to me so a bit lazy to update, but you are right, better to delete it all than leave it like this.

Will do it tomorrow morning.

In general, this would be unwise on my part, since a simple bet on Real (which we both rightly consider undervalued) will give me better odds   This has been just a price discussion so far, it's actually hard to find an interesting option for the Mourinho red card market.

Yeah, I agree.
Damn, in the 90th minute I thought 3 points would be a good start for me in the pool... imagine my surprise when the score became 3-0 in just 2 minutes  


I'm shocked by what La Liga did with the calendar - the first round ends later than the second, even though some clubs are still playing friendlies when the first one starts. Biiiiitch what?!  
Of course, there is a rational explanation for everything (there is, right?), but the fact remains a fact.

Updated Not as settled as I like it to be but WC threw a spanner into a lot of plans it seems.

Really strange, and what is worse I don't see why they wanted to start a week early? Probably some money angle where they want to check how much money they can get without top teams. I guess Real and Barca are by far the biggest selling points outside of Spain and if this works they will find more and more ways to cash out on others as well.

Yep. I don't know what could be behind this. Checked the Bundesliga, the Premier League, and Serie A - everywhere the tournament starts with the current champion's game, and in La Liga it's Alaves vs. Getafe! How can anyone make money from this other than scaring away all the fans? Getafe's games should be hidden deep inside the round so that no one accidentally sees them, and whoever made the opening game involving Getafe should be sent to prison.
If we talk about it from a betting perspective, then everything is also bleak - I don’t have the slightest idea how these 6 pairs will play, even Atletico.

I think now it is fair to say we are not just fanatics but addicts,,, who cares if no sponsors come, let us show them what they are missing 

BTW what a shitshow from you in the first 2 games

And may I ask where is our SPAIN megafan @slaman29?

[cryptofrka]

15 players? That's actually solid. GG guys, nice to see it isn't all about the sponsorships.

Started with a correct score pick but it's Superbru, so when it's 2-1 it means shit all

Hahah, yeah - a truly weird round with just 6 games. A terrible opener as well - I'm sure more people watched Wolves - Blackburn on Friday.

[slaman29]

No problem @KTChampions, I know it was fun anyway.

Ferran Torres to PSG, @slaman29, what do you think about it? With Lewa, Rashford and Torres leaving, we don't have players who scored 75 goals last season. Torees was player who was wasting so many chances to score abut I will miss him. Now our attack looks so meh and it will be nervous last weeks of transferwindow.

He was not my favorite player, but I generally don't place my favorites in forwards, I mean I even personally liked Fati more than anyone recently, but yeah, hard not to be worried to lose our goalscorers, but we've been equally good at bringing people in, like Lewa and Rashford were great examples I was so worried when they came in I couldn't imagine how well they eventually played for us!!

And may I ask where is our SPAIN megafan @slaman29?

I'm playing, I'm playing I just forgot to send Trofo my payment id: d1bed8312f5efef2083ae9372348050520b8088cbb1a4ceb64e36436a57fa4d7

Blew everyone and Getafe out of the water with that result. At least I got it right, I was really considering going both away teams and then wisened up in the last moments.

Aaaand I forgot my first pick of the season today already... at least it ended a draw, I'd have backed Villareal. If there's an explanation, I'm too lazy to look for it.

[LTU_btc]

15 players, wow, better than I expected. Love you guys!
Racing Santander marks theeir return to La Liga with draw against Villarreal - nobody didn't expected it. Great result, but there should be some bittersweet feeling as they had 2:0 lead.

Yeah, such schedule doesn't makes sense at all. I read that Spanish federation gave more rest for Real and Barca because they had significant representation at World Cup semifinals and finals. Still doesn't makes much sense, especially when you start with Alaves - Getafe.
But from what I remember in recent years they never had champions game on season opener.

I'm playing, I'm playing

I did think the league is missing without you and other Latin fans

I am actually also very impressed to see 15 people in the pool,,, it really shows and separates the quality of the forum IMO. Terrible day for everyone when gambling section is,,, full of chatters and not gamblers
