🏁🏎️ Sportsbet.io🏁 FORMULA 1 2022 Season🏁🏎️Prediction Pool Discussion Thread

[CLS63]

Hello friends. The prize distribution system in my mind for the pool is like this now:

1) 6mbtc
2) 3mbtc
3) 3mbtc(minus tx fees)

I didn't want to allocate an extra prize from the pot for the most yellow cap winner. Because as jeremypwr explained, Sportsbet are going to distribute 1mbtc free bet for each yellow cap winner. And I'd like to thank them again for their contribution like this as well.

Like we mentioned above, I've made the payment to the people who finished in top 3. Thanks everyone again. I'd be very happy if the people who have got the payment confirm it as well.

Received, thanks.

First of all, thank you guys for making this pool and offcourse Sportsbet for supporting it. Considering that you made it just few days before the season, getting 12 participants isn't bad after all. I hope that next season we will have more. When I joined, I didn't knew what to expect, it's completely different from predicting football results. But I'm glad that I took part here.
Second, congrats to winners. Two top places getting same number of points after whole season, it's something similar like fight between Leclerc and Perez for 2nd place .
Also, very happy to win yellow cap 2nd race in a row.
Hope to see you all guys next season.

Thank you for the fast payment mate,I received it as well and it was a great season as I said before because for us it didn't end when Verstappen was already Champion many races before the end of the Championship.We had something to watch the races for with emotions,of course emotions private to us only,the participants of the pool.This pool was also better than the other pools because no big difference can be created here as it is extremely difficult to predict the complete podium exactly which is the best to do in a round so it was better even in this way.What missed is a money sponsorship which I hope next season we will get that as well so we can have more participants and more money to distribute.

Congrats to the winners!

Really good tournament, first time for me here in superbru F1, its really hard to put the correct score points and you relly a lot in luck, for engine problems, crash, etc
But we have to say its no other way to make this.

I hope next year can be more tricky having three teams in the fight.

expecting a bigger pool next season

I'm considering to participate next season, looks interesting and next round will be exciting most likely when Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes will be similarly strong but for Ferrari I've still some doubts. 
Ferrarri had started development very early in 2021 for the current season (2022), when Red Bull and Mercedes were still fighting for WDC between Hamilton and Verstappen.
So, will be interesting to see if Ferrari can challenge Red Bull (and Mercedes which will be likely a competitive contender) next year.

Still, over 100 days until first race next year, so plenty time for development. Last season ended later (in December?), I beleive...

And, we'll see a new track in Las Vegas.

Hello everybody. Guys, I think the Formula 1 pool we organized last season was very entertaining. There are numbered days left for the new season to start from now on. I think it can be really fun if we organize a pool for this season as well. When I saw casperBGD and darxiaomi talking about F1 pool under a different subject I thought it was time for reviving this topic already now.

Although we created the topic while there were only 3 days left for the previous season, we still managed to reach 12 participants. I'm guessing there will be more participants in number this season. F1's popularity around the world has increased incredibly recently.

I haven't talked to anyone about the sponsorship yet. If you make a request about participation in this pool then I will talk. The participants last year were these:

I will join without any doubts. Last season was fun, even despite that there wasn't many of us playing. Maybe F1 can't compete with EPL, but I think that we can get at least 20 players this season. Previous season I didn't paid enough attention to F1 pool and my results weren't great, but in last rounds I managed to get few yellow caps. I hope to do better this year, but it will be more difficult with more participants.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I'll also join this pool again. It was really fun last season. I enjoy making predictions about the races because it makes the races more watchable for me after. 

[swogerino]

Count me in for this year too and this time around I won't be starting penalized because I didn't know about the EBP-Early Brew Points so maybe I would have been second place and not third last season but this is of no importance,the prizes were small but the adrenaline and emotions were enhanced by this pool for me,as I will be watching F1 even if this pool did not exist at all.Looking forward to have more participants during this year and I would also love a bigger sponsorship,usually Sportsbet sponsors such pools but they need more people in order to give us like 0.10 or more as a sponsored amount.

[jeremypwr]

Previous season I didn't paid enough attention to F1 pool and my results weren't great, but in last rounds I managed to get few yellow caps.

You won 3 Yellow Caps last season (Italy, Brazil and Abu Dhabi) which is pretty good considering it only cost 1 mbtc to participate.
Everyone also got a 0.5 Free Bet at the beginning of the season.

Last year Steve and Sportsbet.io were quite generous. Besides Steve helped me quite a lot about organizing the pool in only 3 days. I would like to thank him once again. If we reach a reasonable number of people in this year as well then I think Sportsbet.io will sponsor the pool.

I will join without any doubts. Last season was fun, even despite that there wasn't many of us playing. Maybe F1 can't compete with EPL, but I think that we can get at least 20 players this season.

It looks like you won the yellow cap in last two weeks. This makes you one of the favourites of the pool for this year.

As for your results, remember that it's not just about the number of yellow caps you collect, but also about the enjoyment you get from following the races and being a part of the pool.
It will also be a pleasure to participate for the second time in pool, I hope more players will join and enjoy this sport, I had no experience about this great sport but for now I have a little bit of knowledge through which I can achieve some tickets

[darxiaomi]

I think clearly im gonna play, i hope this year i dont trust so much Mercedes like the last year when i always support they comeback and that never comes and throw away all my chances in the pool.

[buwaytress]

Hello! Yeah, F1 about to start again, had no idea. Count me in as usual. As jeremypwr points out, even signing up gets you half the fee back. Then you need one yellow cap (all I managed haha) to make it a positive return in value.

And that's me as an outsider with very little current knowledge. I do follow some of the races though (my kid's watching them all, more than football).

Come man, stop lying , you know we are gonna use that freebet on a multi bet with really high odds and ending without profit  . Or mega profit.....

I remember one guy who doesnt come and play i dont remember his name very good, something like Tro** o no wait its so obvious maybe ***fo.

[CLS63]

jeremypwr reached me via PM last night and he said that he would talk to Steve about the sponsorship in the coming week. If there is positive news jeremypwr or I will inform you about it under this subject.

By the way, I'm very excited about Ford's getting into a partnership with RedBull as of 2026 and coming back to F1.

He said last year that his marriage would be at risk if he watched Formula 1 as well. Therefore I didn't push him.

I think that a sponsorship is sure to attract more users as I think the low prizes were somewhat of a factor together with the event being held for the first time that we only reached 12 persons as a maximum.

As for the Ford comeback they are suffering with sales I assume that they want to come back at a time when even Audi has expressed such desires to be part of F1 in 2026 and even KIA has such a desire,to me the more brands the better as most probably we can end up seeing races with 24-26 cars on the grid and that would add to the beauty of F1 in general.

Well, I will refrain from predictions, but last season I didn't made predictions before qualifying many times and it cost me lot of Early Bru Points. This strategy didn't worked, so, this season I hope to do better.

As for your results, remember that it's not just about the number of yellow caps you collect, but also about the enjoyment you get from following the races and being a part of the pool.

Yeah, agree that having good time is important thing. But chance to get yellow cap motivates you to don't give up, even if you're at the bottom of table.

Bigger pot definitely would help to attract more players and it would be more fun to play with more participants. But I think that main factor why we got just 12 last season because pool was made just few days before the season.

I agree that few days was not enough to get more participants, and bigger pool will attract more players
and while I would like to have bigger pot, maybe it is better to have mid pot and regular participants, than to have more outsiders that will just try to get the pot, and would not hang-out in the topic, really not sure

nevertheless, this season should be better than previous one, and more interesting

hopefully, we will get going
