It has been in the OP since made it, but I keep getting asked so I am repeating it until people understand =)

Yes it has and I can see it now. Not good optimization for readers Just kidding probably problems with my eyes after though day but maybe you could also repeat the links in the bottom of the post. I went to read the rules of betting part of the pool and then just scrolled down, never thought to look above for the links

officially in, and submitted my Superbru picks
now to charming picks, and some tactics what to do, expected to see more than ML, but I agree that it would a real hassle in this format to add more odds

~snip
I have read the thread here a day or two ago and saw that cryptofrka posted that it could be smart to bet all 10 points on Manchester City.

this is a smart move for first round, but odds are really miserable, there are some also pretty secure picks, that offer a bit better odds than City against Crvena Zvezda
will be interesting to see what people are betting on, is that pure secure picks, or some worth bets (around 2), or picking surprises, and if does go in any round, you are in for prizes

I know about these services but unfortunately I've wasted quite a lot of time to try tons of these services and tons of numbers just to know in the end that either all limits are reached for a certain number ("this number is not allowed to enter as it has reached max limit of created accounts") or the confirmation SMS just never arrives. I've wasted so much time for this BS. I've had a polish site once (it's not active anymore), where I've created a few Accounts and sometimes Google doesn't request a number, so I've an Gmail Account available for this Contest and I'm set, even when it will be required to sign up from Gmail.  
I'll submit my picks later today.  

I just recently used that free SMS service for first time and then couple of more times since it worked really well. First number I choose worked every time and I had to wait maybe 2 minutes to get confirmation SMS. Did not even know they existed before but now I don't have any problems using them in the future whenever there is need for phone verification.

+1, if it's ok for you, I might PM you next weekend because Google's / Gmail's crap is such a f**** BS. I've already wasted 1 hour today again to log in because Google / Gmail seems to have deactivated 2 of my accounts, where I've logged in previously without any problems but now, it's requesting a number. No, backup mail confirmation code is not enough, Google wants a SMS number. 
I've tried 2 free SMS numbers, response "limit is exhausted - try later in 1 hour again". 
Luckily, my 3rd attempt for my 3rd account was succesful, Gmail account is still accessible. What a joke. F*** Gmail.
Sorry for off-topic. It's such a pain in the arse... 

Picks are submitted now, yaay. 

But @buwaytress
Is it normal in your Google form, that it says submissions from my mail address and my Google account are NOT eligible (because it is not whitelisted?)?
Did my 1miau entry appear in your list? I couldn't access your spreadsheet.

Odds are very low but honestly, Man City not winning at home would be one of the biggest upsets of recent Champions League history.
(Yes, I've taken Manchester to win here for most of my stake. It's too tempting somehow.  )


Good luck to everyone. 

[ralle14]

All of my entries for the first round are ready to go but I still haven't locked my predictions on the Superbru side. For the odds-based side, I used all my stakes on three favorites. Initially, I planned to stake more than three but the odds made me think it's better to pick less.

Also, i'm looking forward to the exclusive UCL sportsbook specials once it's ready to be announced.

[swogerino]

@cryptofrka ah great. Found it thanks! I still don't see how this sheet can be interesting as I've hidden all the stakes selected, all everyone can see is who submitted, but I guess that's better than nothing!

Where are the google forms so we can start filling them in or maybe they will be put here tomorrow as said by OP some posts ago?Either way this pot looks really substantial for people participating and the entry fee was little compared to the final prizes which will be more than 10 winning spots.

I've been posting them throughout the last few pages and even in PM to some people asking... and reminding constantly to please read the first post of this thread =) Everything you ever need will always be on OP (Original Post).

Here it is again:

Pools are live!

Pot A: Superbru Pool
Pot B: Matchday 1 Submission Form    |    Matchday 1 Responses

Please enter your picks for both events. Both event deadlines are kickoff, 16:45 UTC (forum time) on 19 September. Late match submissions won't be counted. Remember to fill in bitcointalk usernames exactly as it is =)

Always refer to OP (first post) for links and instructions =)

Good to know,I just staked everything,the 10 points for Porto,despite being much better games to try,I have gone for an average odd of 1.8 and 18 points is enough for me for the first round.I have also requested access to the responses if that is allowed,if that is not allowed (which I don't think why it should not be allowed) then leave it be.

Also on Superbru put my prediction for tonight games while for tomorrow I will wait tomorrow and this is the main pot,the substantial one,the one we should all be fighting for as our main priority.

[cryptofrka]

I went with draws and outsiders. Couldn't find a decent favorite who I'd trust in this round - although as already said, going all in on City at 1.10 makes the most sense.

Round points median will be way less than 11, and there's 0 chance of City not winning the game. I need 2 of my draws to hit to have a better result than that, which probably won't happen.
TBH, I'd be happy with one - which would bring me at around 10 again.

I don't think going all in in Manchester City will bring you great amount of points,sure there is no way they lose their game tonight against a much weaker team but that only gives you 11 points,people I am sure will risk it for more just like I did with Porto at 1.8 odd.Some may even go for Milan or Atletico Madrid and if they go all in with any of such team and if these teams win they get double the points of that 1.10 odd of Manchester City.People who play Manchester City are trying to get points and play it safe but in the long run I don't believe this will bring anyone to winning spots.

I feel it depends on the round. In some rounds there will be a favorite you're willing to trust, in some there won't. I for one don't trust this Porto team at all.
There will be rounds (like this one?), especially in the beginning, where keeping points will make more sense - at least I think so.

Maybe you are right.It is better to have some sure points rather than risking it,for me though I have risked it and I cannot change the pick but I don't care whatever happens to the Pot B,I am fighting hard for that Pot A which should be much more substantial for the winning guys than this Google Form Pot B so I am just experimenting here,if it pays in the end good if it doesn't still good  .

So you guys can share some bet slips for us who have completely no idea which teams to parlay with odds well over 1.5?

I chose for Bayern Munich to hammer ManU and also on someone else, I do not remember exactly because I cannot see the results. Maybe it was Real Madrid or Arsena

[Woodie]

I chose for Bayern Munich to hammer ManU

Well played  

With all the confusion going on at Manchester united...
I really see them as the weakest team here based on the fact the team isn't mentally invested, key players missing ,  lads haven't found their confidence mojo & those lads are just playing as individuals and not as a team.
Btw I expect Kane to make his mark this evening as he returns to England  bearing gifts   but then again there is just something about champions league football that brings the best out of a team, hence I advice to proceed with caution.

and also on someone else, I do not remember exactly because I cannot see the results. Maybe it was Real Madrid or Arsena

My guess, Real Madrid..the champions league destroyers

[Patrick6549]

Hello everyone!
I have finally locked in all the matches in the first group and distrubuted my points for the winning teams.
Good luck everyone and may the best win!

@1miau your entry is noted, so it worked. Let me know if you have Google problems (sorry about that)

[Rruchi man]

I chose for Bayern Munich to hammer ManU and also on someone else, I do not remember exactly because I cannot see the results.

Bayern Munich are favorites for the game to win it by almost everyone, but for some reasons, I just have some faith in Manchester United not no win, but to manage a draw against Bayern Munich. Rasmus Hojlund will start, with Rashford playing from his favourite position and very likely Sergio Reguilon who was impressive in his debut at left back will also start. Dalot will play Right back since Aaron Wan-Bissaka will not play due to a Hamstring problem. Amrabat may also have his debut.

I predicted a 2-2 draw, I know very well that Manchester United can surely disappoint me.

[Woodie]

Champions league youth team results, what you do with this information is up to you

[Harkorede]

Updates!

 Who is Hoody Hoo btw?

@morvillz7z  goes by Hoody Hoo on SuperBRU, he doesn’t hang out these threads often, but he’s very active with FPL team, that’s probably the best means to know he’s here and often Jeremypwr’s threads too, I think you can drop him a pm, he should get it quicker.

[buwaytress]

2 late entries today: logfiles. el che -- welcome!
1 person did not submit Pot B answers on time: icopress

Considering we have 52 in the pool, it's not a bad %, hm?

And now I can watch the games in peace Enjoy Champs League, everyone and good luck!

I figured it out, thanks all!

[casperBGD]

can't complain about starting two matches, have both close scores, would be better if Leipzig didn't score third, but what a heck
and in pot B, had Leipzig to win on 5 stakes, so that is good too

now to all important matches, our arch rival Crvena Zvezda is still holding in Manchester, and it is 15 minutes already, while Porto and Shakhtar are sipping goals as rain

[notblox1]

OK guys I managed to submit everything and I hope everything is good, it can be overwhelming when I have to submit both Superbru and to answer all the questions on spreadsheet, but I like the concept with stakes.
I reached my limits with pools for this season, and I am not sure I will be able to submit them each time with my La Liga, F1, Newcastle promo and BSFL  

Considering we have 52 in the pool, it's not a bad %, hm?

Great work attracting so many people!
I think this is a new world record

Round points median will be way less than 11, and there's 0 chance of City not winning the game.

probability is still close to zero, but City is down on HT, didn't expected that at all
and they are playing with first team

will be interesting to see second half, and will they pull out goals fast, or maybe we could see a surprise there
happy to skip City in my betting list, Barca looked as good as that, and better odds, but skipped that too, going with some medium favorites and draws
