Hello all,
I'm afraid to report that we've lost our sponsorship.

The previously announced sponsor will not be honoring the addition to the pot, nor will there be free bets for the weekly winner going forward.

Sorry for the bad news.

Sponsorship funds will be sent to escrow in the next 48 hours

Holy crap, my worst week ever, by leaps and bounds. Thankfully it was a pretty bad week for almost everybody, with the highest picker being xlays, with 9 picks (so far, we have 1 to go). So I'm at 3 picks so far... hope the Chiefs trounce the Commanders so I can have one more, lol.

Despite the fact that things went horribly awry, I'm still out in front by 3... Just 3! Jeez. Wonder what went wrong, except for a bunch of team doing better or worse than they were supposed to.

Sweet. Thanks for that, and thanks to Sportsbet.

Finally, I got 1st place in this week NFL pool.. But the question is does the weekly winner still receive freebet prize?
Did yahoo62278 who won last week get the freebet prize for weekly? Hmm

Anyway I’ll just share this too: in the Sportsbet.io Discord server, all their promotions have also been pulled out, just like here on bitcointalk..

Also it looks like the sponsored funds already sent to the escrow address.. Hoping to see soon the prizepool allocation..

Yes, you will receive the freebet prize for Week 8

The funds landed in the pool address today!  I'm glad my prior news was indeed fake!

Horrible week, you would think 50/50 picks should at least result in one high week among the several we've already had. I don't have time to odds compare but I will for the one after this I think. Just to see if I can't get a better result.

You can thank Steve for that. I would have won this pool anyway, with or without it.

Alright, having my best week since Week 4. That was the last time I had double digits. My lead has narrowed to 4 -- would be nice to pick up one more win tomorrow and have 11 for the week.

The biggest disappointment was Detroit, not only failing to cover -8.5 but actually losing by 3 points. That was bad, as was Indianapolis losing by 7 to the Steelers and then Jacksonville beating the Raiders by only 1 single point.

Its supposed to be a high scoring game tomorrow. Hope you picked a high total points for the tiebreaker.

^It’s the opposite for me this week.. my record last week was great, which is why I won the freebet, but this round has been pretty bad.
I think I’ll only get around 5 points this week.. smh

For today’s last game of the week, my pick is for the Dallas Cowboys to cover -4. I’m still sticking with my strategy of picking all teams to cover based on the Sleep app that’s where my picks come from.

By the way, @jeremypwr, I’ve already received the freebet. I was surprised by what I got..  it was 2X0.00025btc freebets. Thanks

Early Sunday I thought this was going to be my worst week ever - possibly getting less than 4 picks - but by late afternoon things had improved a bit and now I'm 7-6. My nearest competitor is now just 2 picks behind... that's what I get for slacking off and not doing proper research.

I don't know if you guys have noticed but some of the games have an edge to them because they are based on old odds. Like, odds at the opening. Then the general line changes but it stays the same on Sleeper. I notice it doesn't update the line... at least, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. So its good to try to capitalize off those discrepancies when they arise.

:://:::

This has been my worst week yet, especially considering the point margins you mentioned. At best, I'll tie my previous low score, and that's only if my pick for tonight wins. Anyway, I was comfortably T10 until Week 9.

The performance in the last few weeks has been horrible. Those 10-12 points needed to win the week matchup look easy, but there are too many sharks in this pool—they leave nothing on the table for the minnows ^{(or fish, Here is one )}

GG to this week's winner. I'm guessing it'll be Jinetic

Howdy fellas,
I just want to inform you that someone (who'll remain nameless) accidentally sent his Fantasy Football payment (for himself and a friend) to the Pick-Em Pool address.  Two UTXOs for 0.0005BTC each, for a total of 0.001BTC were supposed to go the Fantasy Football league address.  I'll be moving the funds to the correct address momentarily, just wanted to let you all know.

Otherwise, all participants except for two have sent their Pick-Em Pool payments.  If you're payment is pending please send it soon and PM with the TxId.  Thank you.

I actually can't believe it  . I've lost faith in my picks for the past few weeks I just picked with little to no research at all, guess I should keep on doing that in this case. But anyway thanks for the shout bro hope I can keep it up, what a week for NFL though a lot of wild wins and end game sequences overall holy smokes.

I really need to apologise. I only sent my payment today. First time in several years of BTT pool history I forgot to pay a fee... and I had the audacity to tell DireWolf Trofo paid for me hahaha (he did, last season!).

A combination of poor recollection, misplaced trust in myself, and a lack of pool management. I've now paid, thank you OP for chasing it up, so sorry I made it so hard for you to locate the missing fee.

No apology necessary, shit happens.  I'm just glad you were able to join us.

Scammer. What is worse involving me in your schemes   

Just so you know it, next season I am telling all the pool captains buwaytrees paid for me and seeing what happens

Is there still a weekly fb in this pool? Just wondering cause I haven't been following along that much recently.

All freebets were still being honored as far as I knew but if sportsbet is no longer accepting bitcoin deposits then it will be hard for them to honor the rest of the season. DireWolfM14 do you have any info regarding this?
