⚽Welcome to the UEFA Champions League Football Predictor Pool - 2023/24! The biggest club football tournament on the planet now knows all participants and the competition proper kicks off with Group Stage Match Day 1 starting 19 Sep 2023, with the final at Wembley on 4 June 2024.
I'm really pleased to announce that this season's sponsor is crypto casino and sportsbook, Rollbit, also the European betting partner of Italian champions SSC Napoli. We will play for $10,000 in sponsorship funds (USDT) plus $1,000 in freebets, and additional UCL-themed betting promos. I'd like to thank Hhampuz for his role in securing this sponsorship.
Since 2018, we've had a Bitcointalk predictor pool. The concept is simple: participants pay a fee that goes into a pot. Players predict results, winning points to climb the leaderboard. Winners then share the entire pot among themselves + sponsorship prizes.
Alongside the classic score prediction event on Superbru, this 2023/24 season introduces an odds-based prediction event.
➥ The entry fee is 0.002 BTC or approx. $50
(September 6th estimate). Payment should be sent to:
bc1q3rrxzuknzfvlclprprjshqruvjhp5tettcthea. This is an escrow held by buwaytress.
➥ Participants will be required to create a
Superbru account. This is for the score prediction event.
➥ Participants will also need to create a
Google account. This is for the odds-based predictions event using Google forms.
➥ After you pay the participation fee to the BTC address above, I will send you an invitation to the Superbru pool
(Send me a PM with tx ID and Superbru + Forum username).
Scores-based prediction eventScore predictions will be made using the
Superbru sports prediction website. Why Superbru? It's been around since 2006, has one of the most reliable servers able to handle huge loads, and accepts players from any country. They use a simple leaderboard system awarding points for correct predictions on each game.
The more accurate the predictions, the more points. 3 points for exact scores | 1.5 points for close scores | 1 point for correct outcome | additional 1,2 and 3 points for reaching 5,8, and 10 correct outcomes in a MatchDay. New player? Read about Superbru scoring system
here.
Leaderboards are automatically compiled by Superbru.
Tiebreakers are automatically calculated -- players higher on the leaderboard are ranked higher.
Odds-based prediction event1x2 predictions [regular time only] will be made using a Google form each Matchday.

1. Each Matchday, all participants will be assigned 10 points. Think of this as your bankroll to bet on football. They "stake" these points on Moneyline outcomes on any of the matches in that Matchday. Only one ML outcome per match allowed.
2. You can stake 1-10 points per match, or spread the points over many matches, but total staked points cannot exceed 10. Unused points don't carry over, each Matchday starts anew with 10 points per participant.
3. Leaderboard Points are earned on winning outcomes, according to the odds of those outcomes. Wrong outcomes earn 0 points.
Tiebreakers are won by the player with the largest points accumulated in a single match. Failing that, earlier submission of that match wins.
Matchdays 1-6 are Group Stage legs (home + away). 16 games each.
Matchday 7 and 8 are the Last 16 legs. 8 games each.
Matchday 9 will be the QF. 8 games.
Matchday 10 will be SF legs + Final. 5 games.
