📯2026/27 Champions League Pool | ⚽️ Discussion

I wouldn't want to miss the first day of the Champions League. Is there any complete information on how and where to make predictions?
I checked the first post and the last couple of pages, but it's not all that clear  Ideally, it would be good to clarify everything today, tomorrow I’m not sure that I’ll be in touch during the day, and since the games start quite early in the evening, I might miss the deadline.

I will also be playing with or without sponsor, it is for fun that we play here mostly to compete against each other and of course adding a big prize pool from a sponsor looks good in the end even without the sponsor I am sure it will be a good journey. I find it strange though that no casino would want such a huge exposure that this thread will be giving them during the match days and of course almost during all week of a game as we will be talking about this event heavily, it is their lost base of players that they would be gaining through such sponsorship.

Gentlemen! Big apologies for the delay, but I lost my "eyes" on Friday and while I could reasonably type posts, I actually found it very, very difficult to see numbers and add them up. But personally, I should also add that I'm somewhat suffering from low motivation, with the sad news that I couldn't secure any sponsorship, despite actually having many threads of conversations, even tweaking things and proposing, this was the season with the most talk resulting in nothing haha.

No problem, we have 16 people registered, so we play only for 5 prizes, updated in OP.

All your accounts are transferred over except for B1g4udge who has to register an account (welcome!). You should be able to submit your picks. Nothing has changed except for the halved penalty

Any problems, please DM me here or on Telegram (same username).

Matchday 1 Open for Submissions!

*deadline 8 Sep 4.45pm UTC/forum time

As promised im gonna be playing, im a little bit lost and i dont remember i dont pay the entry fee yet right?

Im gonna try to check it now and send it to you as fast as i can.

I hope more people continues to join jsut before the deadline, we are just in strange waters for the forum contest since some of the ebst contest like this one are not getting the sponsorship they deserve but doesnt matter we are gonna prevail thanks to our comunity support against each others.

Finally Champions league begins. And you know what I like about opening week - it's extended to 3 days, so, I will be able to watch even more games.
Good luck for everyone who is playing! And these who aren't playing - you don't know what you're missing and you will regret

It's a bit sad that we got only 16 players. I expected that we can get at least 20 or 25 even without sponsorship. But it is what it is

Ahh... I already said this season was unlucky for sponsors, not disappointed but we expected it, even if it was not there, it was just that the number of participants became a little different from last season. Just ignore the sponsors, let's react in this pool.
-----------------------
Hey, I chose Como in this match only risking one point first to see the result, in Serie A don't ask this team is on fire so is Roma, there is a chance they win for this round, so you can pay attention now.

[arallmuus]

Hey, I chose Como in this match only risking one point first to see the result,

You need to be more ballsy and drop 3 points on that. I have Como at 3 points, its still early season so we either go big or go home from the start. I think they are the dark horse of Serie A, could easily get top 4 there

Ahh... I already said this season was unlucky for sponsors

Im not sure whats with the sponsor drought. Its a whole year tournament with people that potentially will play on their site, even some lower end amount + freebets would be appreciated but yeah I guess its fine even without sponsors

But personally, I should also add that I'm somewhat suffering from low motivation

Take it easy mate, 16 people are decent.

[swogerino]

Can you please reset my pin or send a link where to reset it for me as I tried the old pin which I correctly remember and it says the pin is invalid. I hope it can be done easily as tomorrow we start, we don't care about the sponsorship prize, we will have enough fun here ourselves.

The fact that penalties are halved is a great way to improve things yet I know from last year better to choose always those 1.20 to 1.50 odds so I could keep getting points in every week, last season I got for big surprises and lost it all completely.

Better send me link to register as I only see where to put the pin, not where to put the username.

I think you're right haha... I have now taken the same conclusion to take a bigger risk with 3 points at stake, in the past if not wrong this round they get a lot of points because they choose the underdog team, so they should be able to gain points now, I myself am too confident in Como.

The old PIN still works well, you can try typing "maisfacil" in your email search to see if your PIN is correct or not, if it is still invalid, of course you have to ask the OP to update it.

[swogerino]

Unfortunately I have deleted all the emails and put an empty mailbox in the address used to register here, I know my pin is correct as I have it in my notes in my phone so that is maybe why I need to register again or sent a pin reset link for the games of tonight. I will try some other ones I have used in 2024/2025 season but I doubt they will work.

[buwaytress]

Hey everyone! We now have 20 registered users, not bad in the end, so that means 8mbtc so far for first prize.

swogerino, I've sent you a PIN for your account, anyone else who doesn't have a PIN please PM me here or on Telegram for a quicker response... same username. I may not have access to forum as am on the road this whole week.

KTChampions I hope you figured it out, it is essentially same rules as last season with half the penalties.

B1g4udge also just reach out if you can't figure out but I see you have submitted so it should be fine.

Prize structure so far, updated in OP:
🥇 1st place - (40% of prize pot)
🥈 2nd place - (25% of prize pot)
🥉 3rd place - (15% of prize pot)
🏅 4th and 5th place - (10% of prize pot)

Thanks mate it worked, I remember that I had something with those numbers but was putting the wrong combination during all the time, we finally start today and this new format I had forgotten it has 3 days a week of action so mostly we will have time to watch a game or two.

We are all ready to take each other money  .

Yes, I figured it out, thanks.
I'm glad that the Champions League is back and that even United is participating, but the feeling from the first round is strange, it seems like there are good games (like Real - Inter), but there is no appetite for betting and risk. I made my predictions yesterday and only distributed 5 stakes, I will leave 1 for when I feel it is worth the risk. I hope I don't start earning penalties right from the first round 

[buwaytress]

KTChampions, I see you're learning to save stakes now. I did it last season and it actually didn't help as the final round where I banged 3 stakes extra all failed. Still nice to have all those saved stakes!

Final tag and reminder for everyone, the first match kicks off in about 2 hours, and I can't guarantee another tag so please fill in! PM me on Telegram (same username) for fastest response if you encounter issues. Also if you need to register, Telegram!

[cryptofrka]

22 players is great, congrats!

We don't need the sponsors, BTC will be at 250k at the time of the CL final.
Let the games begin

@buwaytress - sorry but I kinda forgot, where are we with penalties now? What was the final call?
It's probably in the OP but I'm too lazy to go through it now - have to submit my picks and then go do the BSFL and RTG stuff.

If you don't feel like replying I'll search for it myself, promise

[notblox1]

I managed to register and join CL pool in the last minute.
This is the only pool I joined except Mafia pools that I have to join because of their blackmailing me 
Maybe sponsor will show up late this time.

Are there spreadsheet or other way to confirm I submitted correctly?

You really like to do things last minute hehe,,, I even stayed up late today just to watch the early games, actually feeling the surprise that I am interested I guess RTG and this pool are serving me 2 reasons to stay up late

No spreadsheet I guess but Leaderboard is like 1 hour late is this supposed to be so @buwaytress?

[joker_josue]

It's not time late.
In Europe we are on daylight saving time (+1 UTC).

The script is configured to work based on UTC time, hence the one-hour difference. Despite the games taking place based on the country's summer time.

But it is already appearing.

Its down from 5% to 2.5% this season and also the other new changes are min odds gonna be 1.5 min so no more of that 'safe' 1.2x bet to avoid penalty

5. Any player with 0 points won from outcome predictions in a single Matchday will incur a 2.5% penalty to their current Total.

Check the leaderboard and yes you have submitted everything as far as I can check

I guess this answer why it has always been 1 hour after the first game start. I've always wonder about this

[Stormisover]

It's the first match day for the UEFA Champions League, and teams like Aston Villa has shown credibilities on their first games, and I quite find it interesting, Real Madrid is also winning Inter Milan by 2 goals to nothing, of which I expected a win from Real Madrid on this game, and it's clear they are not disappointing me, I know many will have double thoughts on betting on Real Madrid win, because of their last encounter with Real betis, but I saw that lost as nothing that will effect them in today's game, anyways let keep calm till the final whistle.
