^ Nope, you weren't alone. I put a small bet against Benfica myself... that didn't turn out well. Was really expecting Kyiv to at least score but I suppose I overestimated their patriotism (if that's what I can call it). On a semi-related note, was also surprised to learn Zivchenko had switched teams...

Anyway. Just a daily reminder to please spread the word on this pool, and that there are 2 free slots to claim, for anyone who can't make the payment on time!

I had Benfica ML, so it went well for my multi but I must admit I was quite scared for my bet in first half between the goals from Benfica, Kiev had some excellent chances, few were saved by the keeper and few passed very close to posts. Should have scored at least one goal.

So many pools this season, really curious how much I'll manage to get from them. I believe excel sheet is needed this time around to track all of them + all the free bets we can get.

Thanks to icopress, I am confident I will join the UCL prediction campaign, I will make payment and confirm before 5th September. I hope I won't lose it along the way like I did with La Liga last season 
It's sad that I missed out on the FPL pool deadline, since fantasy Premier League has been my favourite for years.

Ah, so Kiev were a bit unlucky huh. Seems like a good bet again away if they play the same? Odds should be even higher and they have to score 2 goals so BTTS anyway is something good for that tie next week.

Based on my performance right now, in prize spots for 2 pools but not the one I'd like to be in (EPL heh heh), but way too early to judge anything... I think you're right about needing to track, although I foresee myself getting incredibly busy this season I may have to "abandon" some of the pools along the way (which is really bad as I hate throwing away like that).

@logfiles welcome and glad someone convinced you! How did you miss pools, you been away?

[slaman29]

I messaged about this place a few times but really no one has responded except one but he/she ended up ghosting me and the issue was about... the fee. Gamblers in this place are half real people and half fake ones lol.

Anyway, still got time so I hope just many people will join late!

[famososMuertos]

Hi, buwaytress,

I'm in, I sent PM with tx ID, Superbru (username).

Good vibes to all and thanks to those involved with the organization and sponsorship.

[slaman29]

So I guess there is something like 20 of us already in this pool right? Meanwhile, bookmaker odds for UCL winner doesn't seem to have changed even with all the new transfers and ongoing results, so odds aren't going to be different anyway for those who made early ones.

And yes this means even Casemiro to United didn't do anything hehe

Do you mean Real Madrid odds? Because United will play in the Europa League.
As for the bookmakers, they are unlikely to change the quotes until the last rounds in the group stage. In long-term quotes, they are very little mobile. Even now, you can still bet on the winner of the Bundesliga with the same odds of 1.05, although it is already clear who will win.

I even went to check last season EPL table because I was sure that MU is outside Champions league.
You're right, departure of one player can't change outright odds much. Maybe it can change a bit after draw of groups, but more significantly it will change only in later phase of tournament.

Yeah I doubt one guy leaving makes a difference -- same as one guy coming. Would be different if they'd shipped out half the team and got a lot of new faces in. If the odds shift in the market now, it's going to be because of money put on the lines (and it's probably going to get a significant bump closer to the start).

As LTU_btc said, the draws also will probably shift things a bit. Group of Death etc.

Even so, I'm not sure the odds will change much. I remember last year Juventus got off to a bad start and it was obvious they were already in too deep but the bookmakers kept listing them as favorites in the title race. For me it was amazing. However, I do not make long-term bets, maybe this is some kind of "special" market.

Just received another pool payment, thank you Saint-loup! That brings us to 14 paid participants, 9 confirmed, plus we still have the 2 free slots. So that's 25 slots at minimum, not too bad?

Two more weeks to sign up, so am not too concerned with the numbers, but would love to see a few more people coming in

[KTChampions]

Yesterday, Benfica, Maccabi and Victoria qualified for the group stage. Today, three more teams will be lucky: Rangers vs PSV - I think PSV will traditionally get their ticket. Copenhagen vs Trabzonspor - I have no idea about this pair. Boude-Glimt vs Dinamo (Zagreb) - similar, but I'll be rooting for a more exotic Norwegian club.
Tomorrow is the group draw and you can start building long-term forecasts and come up with strategies to maximize profits from betting in the group stage

 Boude-Glimt vs Dinamo (Zagreb) - similar, but I'll be rooting for a more exotic Norwegian club.

will be interesting to see Bodo tonight, they had great run last season in Conference league, and strong home ground, but just one goal up prior to re-match tonight

Dinamo has a good chance to get back into CL

not sure about PSV, but would like to see Rangers in CL, they missed their chance in EL final last season, so tonight is a new chance

Cobenhavn is closer to CL than Trabzonspor, IMO, but as all matches, will be interesting

Really glad to hear that. I was thinking yesterday, we can be 25 or 30, still a good number. I think 40 can be the maximum at we can hope with a lot of luck in our side.

I dont know why people dont come and play this kind of "tournament", but well more for us

Just have noticed this thread. Great to see that betnomi has sponsored this. Though I haven’t participated in previous seasons, this time I will join. I'm not in access of my wallet. Will send the fee in an hour.

I'm a bit confused on the yellow cap reward. Will it be paid through betnomi account in form of free bet? Pardon my ignorance. To be honest, I haven’t read all these pages.

Hey Little Mouse! Thanks for your interest, and of course, feel free to pay whenever you can, there is still time.

The Yellow Cap reward is given to the Yellow Cap winner of any particular week. The reward is, indeed, a freebet worth $50. That will be paid out to your Betnomi account, though, so you should register for one before the tournament starts.

Thanks for the elaboration. I'm aware of what Yellow cap is as I have played some cricket tournament on superbru. I was looking for whether it will be freebet or in other form. Now it's clear. Thanks, anyway.

And here you go, my tx id- a8d48cc0c798a7bedc33458569cc577fb71a511c8b471122b6cd44792522dab7

Hopefully we will have fun.

Edit- Transaction is RBF enabled. Let me know if I have to increase the fee. I have used 1sat/byte. Hopefully it will be confirmed within an hour at max.

Edit again- It's confirmed now lol.

[KTChampions]

So:

Group A: AJAX, LIVERPOOL, NAPOLI, RANGERS.
Group B: PORTO, ATLETICO, BAYER, BRUGES.
Group C: BAVARIA, BARCELONA, INTER, VICTORIA.
Group D: EINTRACHT, TOTTENHAM, SPORTING, MARSEL.
Group E: MILAN, CHELSEA, SALZBURG, DYNAMO ZG.
Group F: REAL MADRID, LEIPZIG, SHAKHTAR, CELTICK.
Group G: MANCHESTER CITY, SEVILLE, BORUSSIA D, COPENHAGEN.
Group H: PSG, JUVENTUS, BENFICA, MACCABI.

Group C is what everyone was waiting for - again an epic confrontation between Barcelona and Bayern, and in addition, Inter, which may well knock out Barcelona already at the group stage 
Groups E and H - it is immediately clear who will take the first two places, but in the other groups the situation is more interesting: despite the presence of a strong favorite, there will be a serious struggle for second place and I would say that the outcome is almost nowhere clear.

Yes 25 participants would be unbelievable for this pool because even if it is the most prestigious contest, it will start after all the national championships, and most bitcointalk bettors and soccer fans have already subscribed to those pools unfortunately.
Anyway people are coming back from summer holidays and groups had been drawn now, it could attract some more people hopefully.
