20 submissions so far, which is actually quite a feat, considering. I'll send a reminder tomorrow for stragglers.
Anyone else feel Bayern has a chance at an upset? You know they've been outright favourites for many seasons until City this one.
The odds from the return games attracted me so I spent some points there unnecessarily. I hope to hit these, they would be a nice boost to keep 2nd place before the last round.
Hhampuz is unerachable but the battle for top 5 will be fierce.
So far I won points in all rounds, I expect to do it once again. Curious to see what people close to me picked.
I felt I had to add some sprinkles there, as it's a risk to bet on without knowing 1st leg outcomes. But yeah, Hhampuz has this in his hands I feel. Would require others below to go for broke on the penalty shootout (we had 1 in the last 16, but not at the KO stage for 10 years before!).
The addition of getting potential bonus points was a good idea buwaytress. I’m not well placed in Pot B but I’d like to keep my 5th position, if not improve it in the SuperBru pool.
The competition is so fierce with you bitcointalk.org guys. I regularly perform quite poorly in pools vs you guys.
Quite because I didn't properly plan Matchdays! But glad there aren't many complaints (yet). From the submissions sent, I think people more or less understood what they had to do, except Strongkored who put in 20 stakes haha. As per precedent, I'm only accepting the first 10 stakes, anyone who put in more won't have the latter points count.
Really pleased to see you doing well in this one!
The odds are 55-45, which is not much of a difference - I'm letting you take 14-time champions against one-time champs whose best player is 60-year-old KDB. You have all the juice in your castle, but as a King, I'll let you pick the "creativity." Make it watering.
Condition: Team to proceed to the Next round...
I'm going to go for boring. 1mbtc on Real to proceed to the next round but must score over 1.5 goals (both legs). Now tell me you don't fancy that free money!
Nice mix, the only downside is I have to wait quite a long time to see how I did. Feel like you could have gone even further overboard and offered some proper multi for those without much chance. Like Lewandoski gets a red card and Jamal scores 3+ goals across both legs with Napoli not scoring in both games @30.
JK, by the way. That wouldn't be fair to those on top, even if there is no chance of it happening.
Believe me, my natural instinct was to go all 10/1 and above. But one of them would have to hit, and then you would get everyone in 11th place and below -- myself included, throwing our points there. Hit, and poor guys who worked so hard in Top 10 would feel (justifiably) aggrieved.
I still think one 10/1 in there is a good balance, we've had at least one of those every Matchday anyway!
Already have some mini ideas to do something for next season that will still be odds-based at the foundation, but should include some "skill" multipliers to further reward knowledge. Simplest form would be to have an additional set of questions that each add 0.1x multiplier to total points accrued. It will require a longer questionnaire, not sure how people feel about putting in more work but hey, if the prize is right... right? Just need to really study the new format first!
So If I understand this right, I wont get any point this week because Im betting on the bonus outcome on 2nd leg but then I will get another 10 points to stake on the 2nd leg so thats total of 20 points for me on 2nd leg ?
You only get 10 points. This Matchday covers the entire QF (both legs). You'll just have to wait for that to settle =)
