⚽ Cross League Goal Madness ⚽ Discussion Thread

[buwaytress]

Have I already congratulated the winners in this thread? If not, then my belated: fucking well done, now don't you dare win again next season!

Thanks dar for the organisation, and trying to do something different. Keep it up, and may we see more madness next season. I may never win, but if someone asks me if we need more chaos in the forum, I say yes. All the time. Every time.

Yes a rest is good as always after having to pay attention to so much things across the season but like the phrase said "Sarna con gusto no pica" "A willing scabies doesn't itch" is the literal translation but i dont know if is used in that form in the english languages maybe is better to say "What pleases is not tedious".

I have never had a scab that doesn't itch, even the ones I made willingly... but I understand completely this sentiment. I'm not sure the body will always agree however. There are some things I do today that I would objectively say pleases me, but that I also find increasingly tedious. Hating the mafia, for example.

Thank you Buwa for your support as always and your kind words. We can said kind words from time to time, the only guys who dont receive kind words are the mafia ones.


In a previous psot of mine i said in monday we are gonna have news about the chance of a WC Madness and today is monday so here we go......

The news are we dont have news, i keep trying to found a sponsor fot he WC but is turning out really difficult until now we dont have an agreement so im gonna keep making my efforts.

If i dont reach any maybe im gonna make some kind of madness for fun and open to everyone in the G&R section.

You know it brother man, if we are not the ones supporting each other, who else will? Mafia? They only understand money and crime.

Don't worry about the World Cup, just make sure we make the most out of the existing ones. If you end up making something for fun, I'll smack it up. Since I'm winning the WC ones, anyway shouldn't be a big problem to make space for some things.

Im between taking some needed rest and to keep making some other proyects im making, i dont know right now im more into the rest than other thing since im not reaching the sponsor deal and we already have quite a few contests already. But i dont know.

The good thing about the madness is its super simple and fast to made the picks for each round, so is not time consuming for the player. But it takes a little time for me.

I don't need to tell you, the forum is secondary to everything else in life. We've had people take time off, I've already said goodbye to a handful of forum friends, knowing new ones come along. No stress with forum sponsors, know that all efforts are appreciated. Besides, once the World Cup's over and you're drowning in gaucho drinks with fellow Argentinos, you'll be ready and refreshed for new season.

Maybe... invest in a sort of spreadsheet to take away all your manual calcs. I was lucky to have joker_josue help with automating a major portion of the CL pool (though it is a big ask even then to constantly test and fix that kind of system). I suspect it could be something easier if done in a spreadsheet with AI checking your formulas?

I hope you win all your battles, amigo.

I know the main reason why it is not easy for you to find a good sponsor for WC madness, it is Mafia that hijacked all the biggest casinos sponsors and they force them to sign special NDA only with them and nobody else
To tell you the truth I dont know if I will join that many WC pools this summer, I want to rest my head from having so many reminders and rules having to follow.

[darxiaomi]

Hi guys! I hope all of you are well i just have to let you know how we are and in which situation we are right now with this contest.

To be completly honest with all of you i send a lot of message asking for sponsorship and until now we cant close anyone, the season is aproaching very fast and we are running out of time, in our case we always have a little bit more of time since we always start after the season starts in every single mayor league at round 2 or 3, so we can wait until september if necesary. If you ask me i see the chance of getting a sponsor not so high sadly, we can already notice it across other pools.

So..... im gonna ask if despite it anyone is willing to play only for the collected fees and maybe if we can reach a deal to a sponsor later.

Anyways i still have hope of reaching a deal sooner or later.

This end is indeed the manager is always trying hard to get sponsors... only a few have reached an agreement whereas there are still many uncertainties about the other league pools.

I believe you've worked hard to make this event a success, however I hope Whale.io come back.

Code:

Fee: 0.5mbtc (add your suggestion) I can just join as long as it costs 0.5 mbtc, although the prize pool is small, for us it doesn't matter that the pool is still running...

I will play, no matter we have sponsor or not, but I really hope that you will manage to find it. But it's sad situation, not only prediction pools, but also other kind of games struggle to find sponsors. Considering how many various gambling platforms we have on Bitcointalk, it's disappointing that's very few who are ready to support community runned games.

[el che]

It's definitely been a tough season for securing sponsors but I'm keeping hope alive that something positive pops up soon.
I’m 100% in regardless of whether we secure a sponsor. I do worry a bit that playing only for entry fees might turn some people away, but I'm remaining optimistic. Hopefully we secure a sponsor and we even manage to pull in some new players this season.

I indicated the contribution amount taking into account that I will also be participating in the La Liga pool, which will also apparently be without sponsorship. Plus, it seems to me that, despite the fact that most participants receive money from signature campaigns and, in essence, everything here is free, they may be scared off by a significant fee.
It's sad that the pools theme is gradually fading away, but maybe something new will appear, we need to come up with something.

[slaman29]

Seems like everyone is facing the same challenge, but I will play this pool also without a sponsor, I think we have to show that we are playing anyway and not just for prize sponsors. This is a fun competition too anyway and another chance to show our random knowledge

I wish you good luck bro.

Madness is a part of me now..

Naturally, ignore my opinion regarding fees.
I'm always on a 'higher fee' side because then I play more seriously but I'll be playing no matter the fee.

Still time for the last round of pitches so fingers crossed..

[darxiaomi]

Well guys first of all thanks you all for keep supporting this contest despite not having a sponsor right now for the next season, this feels good and encourage me and for sure others to keep building contest for the comunnity im gonna still wait for more comments to come for the remaining players who didnt post yet, and also keep trying to get a sponsor.

But for sure we are gonna have the madness running if the community wants it we are gonna deliver it.

Absolutely want to play regardless of the sponsor issue. The fee is much more subjective, I could possibly afford much more per pool, but I always want to think about what's more sensible for many others. 0.5 personally is a bit on the low side for me but it's still a fair amount of money for some people yes?

Remember, long ago, we had pools without sponsors... or with tiny sponsorship money. We can still have fun taking money from each other, no?

If we don't get sponsors for the pools I would actually much rather play 1 or 2 pools with higher fees than 10 with low fees. Last season felt like doing chores to me. Most of that feeling is coming from superbru though and I didn't mind madness.

My list of priorities among the pools that aren't sponsored yet:
EPL Fantasy
Champions League by Buwa
Madness
One or two Superbru, maybe I am biased by I am leaning towards my La Liga and Serie A cause they are the biggest league other than PL and who knows who would even take care of captaining PL

Anyway, as usual, I will play almost anything that gets posted, no matter the fee.

It looks like some other pools are also having bit of issue finding sponsors but yeah I will join even without sponsorship.

For some reason Im straight trash on this pool ( 2 seasons ) , also on Fantasy but you know Fantasy is harder which is why I opted out on that one but I cant be just straight up bad on a pool that predict total number of goals so yeah lets give it 1 more season to try

and also keep trying to get a sponsor.

We dont really need a fancy amount on this pool. Small extra prizes with free bets each round on top of the registration fee would be great already, good luck on securing one though

Just like with other pools that I've committed to I would be fine playing without sponsorship, FPL, RTG and UCL are the priority for me as well, but I'd be up for up to 1mbtc for this one as well, I could easily stick to just one SuperBRU this season if it's becoming, submitting 40 (80 on double gameweeks) predictions per week on SuperBRU alone last season was crazy TBF.

I'd say I'm exactly in the same boat. What I'm surely playing is (in this order):

EPL Fantasy
Champions League by Buwa
Madness
PL Superbru

Then I'll probably do La Liga Superbru as well and call it a day. I'll play any other interesting ones if they pop up - but not Superbru.

Thanks guys for all your supportive comments, later in this week im gonna made the proper post and put a wallet to start collecting the fees for this new season.

We all now since the departure of SB all is up hill sicne they covered like 4 pools without so much effort and leaving room for a few more being sponsored by others and now without them we have so much empty space and nobody comes to fill that gap sadly, despite rain putting a big effort covering the most relevant ones.
