📯2026/27 Champions League Pool | ⚽️ Discussion | sponsor TBA

[LTU_btc]

Few words about qualifiers - most surprising result for me is Crvena Zvezda getting eliminated by Hapoel Beer Sheva. Sabah after loss away to Danish champions Aarhus today didn't had problems to make comeback and won 4:0
Already wanted to write complaint about Celje how they disappointed me, but at time of writting this post they scored 2 very late goal and wongame without going to extra time.
Lyon is leading Sparta 1:0 at halftime, what would mean extra time, but Sparta after red hard now remains with 10 men - it will be very long 45 minutes for them.
And next week we will hear Champions league anthem for the first time this season.

I will pay my fee here after all the other pools are taken care of,,, if that is ok. I am seeing now it might be a difficult thing, but agree with @dzonikg28 it seems weird that sponsors are putting UCL last on the list when it is surely bigger than everything other than English Premier League? I mean, there literally is nothing better in terms of reputation than winning Champions League.

Sorry Club World Cup that is a side circus

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Will likely join the pool (against my better judgement as I always finish near the bottom in this format ).

I really need to figure out a strategy to save myself being cooked in this format. Any tips are gladly appreciated.

So what do you guys think about Super Cup? This is probably the only 'noncup' cup that I actually like, just too bad its 4am my time and right in the middle of the week so there's no way I'll watch it.

Paris should be coming up with 50% of the squad still on vacay but Villa might like to try get the extra prize money

Stop picking Liverpool to win

But I know what it feels like. If there's one team that loses me points in contests its Barca. Then again, betting on Spain and picking them really served me so good in World Cup, so I guess if you have to pick a team, might as well be a good one. No tips that work from me, but I'm very interested in understanding how the same few people placed top in last year's pools!!

UEFA Super Cup 2026 this is what I think  well, that is, nothing is clear, the only thing that makes sense is to wait for the announcement of the lineups and see where the odds will shift. If we think about it from a historical perspective, then it’s worth betting on the underdog, not on the underdog winning, but on the favorite not winning in regulation time. Over the past 10 years, the Super Cup has only gone to a team that wasn't the Champions League winner once. When placing a bet, it is worth considering that there is no extra time.

Yes i was also surprised by that and not end there now we are gonna have in the "group" stage or main stage of the champions league some low tier teams thanks to this results and the draw for the last phase of the playoff round.

Is sad to see Lyon against Fenerbahce in one match and in other Beer sheva against Sabah......

I point out this in the jackpotter thread since they have a promo for this match, because i was not sure to bet on the PSG, i said like you are saying that the favorite and winner of the CHampions League didnt won in the last seasons in regular time so it was not so sure to bet on them since most of this teams takes this game not in a serious way.

Yeah, Beer Sheva - Sabah more looks like Europa league pair, not Champions league. While Lyon - Fenerbahche, it's same League Path that we discussed already. Though, despite being big names on paper, it's been a while since both clubs played in Champions league group stage last time, especialy Fenerbahche

I looked at results of recent Supercups, and it's quite rare when winner is decided in regular time - very often we see penalties or winning goal in extra time. I tend to think that this time will be different. But it's difficult to predict things when teams are still in preparation mode

[slaman29]

I like favoring Lyon for here but our memories are older than some of the boys in that team lol, but that's always good to see.

I missed that thread, and about 50 people somehow saw it before me lol

I probably would have lost money, thought the odds was favoring a draw and that's what I'd have chosen anyway, but also not sure if the game showed any team's true colors. Hope you got something out of it, now we wait for 1.5 months to see true Champions League phase games.

In the end I lost 10 bucks, there is a screenshot of my bet in that thread. The reliable outcomes were too dismal to attract me, so I build a bet at odds of 5.5. Overall, I'm satisfied, but the number of corners - two for both teams (nil for PSG) - was shocking. I'm not a fan of this market, I only take corners for body bet boosts, and this outcome surprised me.
For comparison purposes, I look at Hearts vs. Benfica and Rangers vs. Jagiellonia and see that corners in the 0-2 range are priced at 5.70 for Benfica and 8.50 for Rangers. For PSG it turns out they were in this range.

Just paid for paco92x and myself. Here is tx id

Now go find us a sponsor, I want better ROI  How will I explain these expanses to my wife otherwise.

[swogerino]

When is last day for payment, count me in but I will most probably pay when I come back from holidays in the end of August. The format remaining unchanged is great news for me, I like it that way despite last season even when I was in a relatively good position I forgot to put my pics for 3 consecutive match days that did cost me a lot. I am already looking forward to the first match day of the pool and let's see what Champions has in store for us.

[leea-1334]

Come on @buwa you can find a sponsor for sure, but I will try to send payment by next week together with other pools. Can someone remind everyone how many pools so far in total? I feel like it is only La Liga and this one so far? Still playing with or without sponsor.

Now go find us a sponsor, I want better ROI  How will I explain these expanses to my wife otherwise.

Did she like your explanations for how many thousands you won in Beat The Bookie? I am wondering if @Hhampuz is married also in this case 

[paco92x]

Hey guys! Decided to join the UCL fun for the first time. I have some experience predicting scores through La Liga, EPL, and other pools, though not with much success . Thanks Trofo for the payment .

I'm a big fan of losing $10 and $5 bucks, and then winning $40 every few losses. I take 10 steps back and 5 steps forward when it comes to betting, so I'm just every bit as bad as my history in trading.

I'm sick of reliable outcomes too, so now I'm going to try @buway tactics in Champions League.

World Cup was first time in long time reliable outcomes were good price. Hope the same this season for CL!!

[buwaytress]

Thank you for those who've paid first. We're still waiting on good news so I hope to update sooner rather than later, but we already have 4 participants. Sponsor might ask for something a bit different, but we'll try and humour them, while getting a good deal. It is what it is, and welcome paco92x!

Yes, I too, if I’m not sure about anything and am not ready to bet serious money, then I prefer to pass by or bet small amounts of money.
I wish I knew what makes bookmakers richer - small fun bets or "serious and reliable" ones haha. It seems to me that only the first ones offer a chance, because firstly, you are freed from pressure (the fear of losing the bet body), and secondly, because reliable bets do not give Xs, but only stretch out your losses over time. For prediction markets, it's the opposite, but we'll see at the end of the season.

Hey buwaman can we get official confirmation when first round is starting,and what is deadline for sending participation fees?
I see there are champions league matches player next week, but I think this is not group stage yet, but only play-off round.
There is no chance I am going to miss this competition, and this season I am going to win this time and become rich like the Trotters
