Rollbit | 2025/26 Champions League Pool | ⚽️ Discussion | ~$15,000 prizes!

[buwaytress]

⚽Welcome to the UEFA Champions League Football Predictor Pool - 2025/26! The biggest club football tournament on the planet returns in September 2025.

I'm really pleased to announce that this season's sponsor is crypto casino and sportsbook, Rollbit. We will play for 0.1BTC in sponsorship funds (currently worth $11,000) plus $850 in freebets, not including player fees. 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.

Since the 2023/24 season, we introduced an odds-based prediction event with two concurrent events with prizes split into 2 pots.

For this 2025/26 season, we have decided to combine both Score Prediction and odds-based Outcome Prediction events into a single pot, with more prize spots, on our very own platform. No more Superbru, no more Google!

• How to Join?

➥ The entry fee is 0.001 BTC (1 mbtc) or approx. $115 (18 August 2025 estimate). Payment should be sent to: bc1q3rrxzuknzfvlclprprjshqruvjhp5tettcthea. This is an escrow held by buwaytress.
➥ Participants will need to register their forum username and BTC address for payouts on a self-hosted platform.
➥ After you pay the participation fee to the BTC address above, I will send you an invitation to pool (Send me a PM with tx ID and username).

• How to Play?

The prediction area will consist of 2 sections: Score and Outcome.

Score Prediction
1. Each Matchday, all players must predict the Full-Time (90 mins regular time + added/stoppage time; NOT Extra Time) scores for every match for that Matchday.

2. Base points are awarded for each correct prediction:
a. An Exact score: 4 points
- player predicts the exact score
b. A Close score: 2 points
- Player predicts correct 1x2, but is off by 1 goal
- Player predicts correct 1x2 and goal difference, but is off by 2 goals
c. A Correct score: 1 point
- Player predicts correct 1x2 and doesn’t meet Close score requirements

3. Bonus points are also awarded for each correct prediction:
a. Upset: 1 to 1.5 points:
- If the 1x2 outcome odds is 3x to 4.99x: 1 point
- If the 1x2 outcomes odds is 5x or more: 1.5 points
b. Maverick: 1 to 2 points
- If your score is only picked by 10% or less of players: 1 point
- If your score is only picked by 5% or less of players: 1.5 points
- If your score is Close/Exact AND the only one picked in the pool: 2 points


Outcome Prediction
1. Each Matchday all participants will be assigned 6 Stakes. Think of this as your bankroll to bet on football.
2. You are free to assign these stakes to any outcome available in the Matchday.
3. A maximum of 3 Stakes can be placed per outcome. Up to 1 Stake can be saved per Matchday. This will carry over to the next Matchday as a saved Stake. A Maximum of 3 Stakes can be saved. Any unused Stakes that cannot be saved do not carry over to the next Matchday.
4. Points are won if the correct outcome is selected. Points Staked * Odds and added to a Total. The Total is cumulative for all Matchdays.
5. Any player with 0 points won in a single Matchday will incur a 5% penalty to their current Total.
6. Points won for every Matchday are accumulated on the Leaderboard. Those with the most points accrued on the Leaderboard after the final win.

A short video demonstrating how to enter your predictions is here: https://biteable.com/watch/4466700/538952b54704aae3661525db75973a96

Complete rules in detail can be found here: [to be published soon]

Leaderboards are automatically compiled as results are finalised. Points from all predictions will be totalled and automatically compile player standings on the Leaderboard as results are finalised. Tiebreaker rules apply.

• What are the Prizes?

All sponsorship and entry fees constitute the prize fund, with 10 (ten) winners following this tentative breakdown:


🥇 1st place - (20% of prize pot)
🥈 2nd place - (15% of prize pot)
🥉 3rd place - (12% of prize pot)
🏅 4th and 5th place - (9% of prize pot)
🏅 6th to 10th place - (7% of prize pot)


*Tx costs, including possible consolidation, will be borne by first-prize winner's portion of player fees.

The freebets feature is currently in the process of being updated (should be completed in early September).

A note in case there are any delays. Free bets will still be awarded (just maybe it will be retroactively).

Finally, the UCL Pool would be getting the attention it duly deserves, the last 2-3 seasons have been a complete mess, especially due to nature of the game and lack of interest, having over a month of time to join should give us around 50 users innit ?

Needless to say, you know I'm definitely going to be playing!

[Unknown01]

Okay, actually I wasn't planning on participating in another event, but the prize money here is really very tempting and I love and follow the Champions League as a tournament, so I will also participate here. Many thanks for the organization and for the sponsoring, really great! I will send the BTC-amount soon.

Agree with the most but somehow I doubt we will get 50 users, hopefully we will. Needless to say I will participate in this pool as well. Damn, this is gonna be one hell of a season. If my count is correct I am already in 6 pools, this will be the 7th. Really interested to see how much I will learn from the pools if anything. I think I will probably have to do some excel spreadsheet to keep track of it.

Still a lot of time before CL starts, I'll probably pay next week, when I get new campaign payment on my hot wallet. I am on holiday so limited access to stuff.

[casperBGD]

count me in
it is a great news, and sponsorship is rocking, biggest pool that I am aware of

my results in CL are far from great, but will put more effort into it this season
could be a good season in CL, since there is quite a lot of teams that can fight for the title, and somehow I am close to support AC Milan to go to SF, or similar

[arallmuus]

Woah the prizepool for this is much higher compared to the other betnomi's pool. Tempted to join in but Im not sure I might be able to do my predictions lol but still few weeks before the UCL start so I'll see about it. Well atleast they give $50 free bets as well though so getting one yellow cap would be pretty much money back already

Agree with the most but somehow I doubt we will get 50 users,

I think getting atleast 25 would be decent already considering that we have alot of pools this year so some regulars might decided not to pitch in this due to joining all the other pools already

[Ulven]

As long as there is good sponsorship it will be very interesting for this season's CL and I think I will also be involved in this pool and I will pay the entry fee later. There are probably many gamblers who always want to get attractive offers, so I expect the total number of players to be more than 40 participants

[dittoup]

Thanks for putting this together Buwaytress, and thanks to Betnomi for chipping in awesome 0.3 BTC overlay!

Count me in, I will make the payment later this week.

[buwaytress]

^Good to see some familiar faces popping up, and yes, well aware there are already so many pools... Myself am already almost questioning myself on why joining so many haha...

But, this is Champions League! It doesn't get any bigger than this -D

Thanks also for a couple of ppl PMing about participation. Plenty of time left to pay so no worries about it.

Would love to see 40 players here too, get this thing going!

[CLS63]

It is very beautiful to have a very nice pool for the Champions League on our forum. I'm absolutely going to join this pool. I'd like to thank Betnomi and buwaytress for the pool. I'm going to make the payment this week unless there is any mishap. Every match in this pool is more important than the league matches. And this increases the excitement level.

[LTU_btc]

Good to see that finally we have proper pool Champions League pool. Such tournament deserves something better than we had few recent seasons. I'll join definitely, there is plenty of time left, so I'll send funds a bit later. I already lost count how many pools I'm playing in and how much money it costs, but I planned to join CL pool anyway. Ok, I'll try to count - EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Champions League, F1 and I'm sure that we will have pool for World Cup too. Did I missed something ?

Finally, the UCL Pool would be getting the attention it duly deserves, the last 2-3 seasons have been a complete mess, especially due to nature of the game and lack of interest, having over a month of time to join should give us around 50 users innit ?

I think it's unlikely that we will have 50 participants. Maybe 30 more realistic number. Due to nature of tournament, Champions league pool won't have bigger interest than EPL.

[slaman29]

So happy to see this coming up finally, and yes, you can take me as a participant. We have 1 month left to pay so I will take my time obviously lol

Barcelona all the way, fellas! And that big prize spot is pretty amazing. Can we get a list of participants up with confirmed and paid already so we can ramp up more interest?

[cryptofrka]

Damn, huge pool. Congrats!
I was always surprised that CL doesn't get more participants, this year it will change for sure.

I just need to send 50$ worth of BTC here and that's it, correct? Or do I send 0.0025 BTC?

[casperBGD]

are the payments already started, we have more than a month before CL starts
but, yeah, CL deserves to be between hugest pools and this sponsorship will bring it there, not sure how much is in EPL pool, but this seems as largest pool

and qualifications are under way, Serbian champion is playing tomorrow, for a chance to reach last qualification round

I have sent the payment for the pool approximately three hours ago. But I think that everyone still has a lot of time as there is still so much time for the matches to start. And I think that we can reach more than 30 people as well.

Yellow Cap means the winner of separate rounds (by analogy with the EPL pool)?
I have already joined the Premier League pool and will join here too. Good prizes and I really like the Superbru interface - the calendar and reminders minimize the risk of missing necessary forecasts (which was my biggest concern  ).
Thanks to the organizers!

Fee is 0.0025 BTC yes or 2.5 mbtc if that helps!

Correct! Superbru calls it the yellow cap winner and yeah, people like other platforms but I personally feel this is the easiest and more reliable.

@CLS63 payment received. I can only create the pool when Superbru opens it. Since UCL is over a month away, I expect this in a few weeks.

[cryptofrka]

Yup, did not know whether to send fixed BTC amount or a dollar equivalent at the time of transaction.

I paid this afternoon, the tx is confirmed: 621bb0cd3df70e0397acb2971851c7ee3591708c9da6cfb3834eb527419b7749

Happy to skin your asses!
