Looking forward to this one, bro.

Hopefully I can do a bit better in this pool than some of the others I’ve been involved in for the last couple of seasons. Congrats for running this and attracting a great prize pot. Many of us are going to have our eyes on dat monayyyy.

@leea1334 @tokeweed @swogerino @ajiz138 and others, I'm really glad you all decided to join.

I'm pleased to announce our biggest-ever prize pot of $11,000 ($10,000 crypto + $1,000 in freebets) in sponsorship funds, courtesy of crypto casino and sportsbook Rollbit!

OP has now been updated with new guidance while we continue to work (I say we, but it's really just joker_josue haha) on refining the form submission for the odds-based event.

Summary of this season's new points:
- 70/30 prize split. 70% to Superbru classic pool, as that's the most popular, 30% to the odds-based event, which is experimental. Use this week to read the rules and test out the new system!
- 20 prize spots, not 10 -- but you can win in both events.
- stablecoin, but BTC payout, end of season. This preserves the dollar value, per request of sponsor.

We now have 33 confirmed participants (13 paid, marked below with asterisk. Paid but no asterisk? PM me!), and 2 tentative (marked in brackets). Can we see if we get the numbers to cross 50? Invite your degen friends!

Wow! Great news! I was already starting to worry 
I remembered the nervous tension I felt last season and since the prizes are very tempting, I will continue to experience it now  Hopefully I can take my mind off things and make predictions without being under pressure (which usually hurts the results).

[ajiz138]

Thank you for the welcome. LOL

I'm at the beginning of my journey, who knows, maybe I'll be at the top too. LOL - we're excited about this announcement with Rollbit bringing on sponsorship for this pool.

One more week until the UCL journey.

[swogerino]

I don't really care anymore as I won almost the max win in FISH EYE slot today and after that an x3593 multiplier so here is my "free" money entry that I got from the casino today,I don't care if I lose everything now there,I just keep playing that f*cking super addictive slot.

Here is the tx id,and let's see where are the rules to read for that 30% new type of points going on here

This is amazing 
I just sent my application fee, and you can check your messages for transaction ID confirmation.
Now I think that I just need to join Superbru pool and prepare mentally for start of new CL season.

We now have 33 confirmed participants (13 paid, marked below with asterisk. Paid but no asterisk? PM me!), and 2 tentative (marked in brackets). Can we see if we get the numbers to cross 50? Invite your degen friends!

Are you trying to set new Guinness World Records for number of pool participants?  +
I think we could reach 50 members easily if Champions League was starting later in few weeks, but maybe you can still accept application even at later stages.

[buwaytress]

Man, I'm just expecting that we will have a bull run and thus less amount of BTC lol. I would be happy to see a BTC conversion right now. That's how I see it.

It's a sponsor requirement. I see nothing wrong with knowing a near-fixed dollar value. I personally prefer BTC, but I suspect it's not so early to the next bull run

I would love to stay on Superbru 100% as we have always used that format here and in many other pools,except the Euro or World Cups where we have used the UEFA/FIFA one time and then used UEFA/FIFA as a side bet,so you can put that with the odds as an additional prize to play for but not split the prizes,you can give that like 1000 dollars as prize as the guy who makes the most correct predictions wins that side quest prize.

I think this should be much more fair than using a dual system for the main purpose of this pool.Waiting to see how will be the final decision before sending in the fee in the next few days.

It's been decided. 70% of the prize still goes to Superbru style. If you follow earlier posts about this, then you know we're trying out an experiment. I like classic pools too but they are much more passive and random (guess the outcome, precise scores are luck), Odds-based favours risk-taking. Sponsors want more value. Players want more engagement. Let's see how it goes end of season. So far, most people are on board. If you don't like the B pot, I'm sure people taking it seriously will be happy to hear. Good luck, and try it anyway! Might end up enjoying it

First time seeing this pool and just trying to get clarity before joining...

Playing for Prize Pot A is easy to understand, but for the Prize Pot B, is this going to be played on Rollbit site as I saw this writing " paid Bitcointalk participants of this pool will gain exclusive access to Rollbit's UCL sportsbook specials " So are we required to place bets here [Rollbit website]or everything will be done on the special spreadsheet   Hope am not asking questions that have already been answered..

Check OP. It has instructions that I'll update. I quote below. No bets are required.

Separately, there will be other Rollbit sportsbook promotions exclusive to the pool, these are optional, and will be mentioned as they come =)

You can test the sample form at this post.

Scored-based prediction event
Score predictions will be made using a Google form each Matchday. This post will always be updated with the current links.

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.
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.

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.

Looking forward to this one, bro.

Hopefully I can do a bit better in this pool than some of the others I’ve been involved in for the last couple of seasons. Congrats for running this and attracting a great prize pot. Many of us are going to have our eyes on dat monayyyy.

You're one of the constants, and I'm sure you've just been a victim of variance. Guys like you are why we keep this pool prediction tradition alive =)

I would still play these pools without a sponsor (and there was always going to be one, even if it was going to be modest

It is really a very big deal. This would suit to the Champions League as well. Thank you for working on the organization of the pool and Rollbit for sponsoring very much. I will need to follow the results in the Champions League on Flashscore continually on Tuesdays and Wednesdays this season. I feel like I will win a big prize this season. I hope I can do this.

Because you are gambling addict! 
I also immediately confirmed my participation and was ready to play without a sponsor, but when good money is at stake, it fuels the excitement.
By the way, this season the situation with “waiting for the next round” will be easier since neither FIFA nor UEFA have invented any winter tournament. Ideally, we will see a good, even season, although my desire to see the rivalry of the three tops in the form of Real + Mbappe, Bayern + Kane, City + Haaland did not come true.

[swogerino]

Now that I see it is with a google form where can use what we call the currency of our pool (staked points) and see how it goes.I am pretty sure now that I understand that this is a nice B pot which can a real potential value and real engagement from the participants for the pool.

As for my transaction sorry I sent it for confirmation in the other 10 blocks and now it has gone bad in 12 blocks,I am sure it will come through though as I paid a 1 dollar fee or something more so there is no risk in the transaction not coming.

Awesome to hear such positive news. Conditionas are really nice and I believe a split of 70 / 30 is a good decision.
+1 for rewarding more participants as well.
I've also announced your pool in our German Bundesliga prediction topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5460510.msg62835894#msg62835894
Maybe some people will join and we can get closer to 50 participants.

I'll send you my participation fee right away via PM now. 

[LTU_btc]

Nice to see Rollbit joining our pool with big money. Wouldn't be against taking part of pot in the end of season . It will be tough, but I see that 3 top perfromers of each round will be rewarded with free bets, not just Yellow Cap winner. So, chances to win something becomes higher.
Odds based game, I thought that it might be something complicated, but I looked at example and everything is so simple, you simply get 10 points and you stake on your selected matches in this round.

[goodpunt]

That is indeed great news.
I really like the prize structure from both pools.... even me whose predictions are mediocre at best have a small chance to win a prize

[seek3r]

Great news!

Didnt pay attention to this pool to be honest. Would like to join if its still possible.

It is! Just follow instructions on OP

[Strongkored]

Thank you Buwaytress for the invitation, this is the first paid pool I have participated in and I am still very unfamiliar with Superbru but that's not a problem at all and I will quickly understand it. The fee will be sent according to the discussion in PM.
The prizes are quite attractive and thank you to sponsors, but it is not easy to be in the top 10, but good luck to all participants.

[slaman29]

Great news and what a development after only 1 week of discussion. Imagine how much you can get and how many players if you started this a month ago lol.

Prize Pot B looks good on its own, I'm definitely thinking of some strategies already for first round of games, I hope everyone loses points trying to get "big" odds hehe

Wait...  What?  10k in the pot with less than 50 of us in the pool?  You could like make all spots in the money for 100 and there would still be a lot left over for the top places.   

Anyway, 20 spots to get a chance to some of that 10k is good.  I think I might really start trying to win a spot for this one.    Congrats for bagging the elephant.  How did you pull it off?

Amazing work @buwaytress. Sick price pool tbh and pretty cool that you got Rollbit as this year's Champions League Pool sponsor.

I also really like the 70%/30% split, that's why I am in, ofc. Let's see if we can make it to 50 participants!

I will be sending the funds tomorrow, when I have access to my hot wallet.

It will be same as will betting, it all comes out to the decision when to pull the trigger on upset. They are paying that well because they are just that, upsets. They will not come that often but once you get it you get big and it gives you some more margin to miss.

When you play on favorites it is the other way around, easier to get winning ticket but you need several wins to cover even one loss.

buwaytress really did a very great work. I think that not much thing would have changed if we opened the pool earlier. People who are eager to join are already deciding to join it in a short time. I also liked the idea of a partition of 70%-30%. It can be very boring sometimes to make only score predictions. Therefore the pools I like the most are the F1 and FPL ones.
