season 2022/23   bullrun2020bro (419 points)

[cygan]

just in time for the announcement of the new bundesliga game schedule, it's now official and registrations for the new prediction game can now be made ⚽
there are also some changes to the prices (due to the current and future BTC price):

• sportsbet.io continues to participate with a certain amount (but this time in € instead of directly at the start of the pool in BTC)
• the participation fee decreases from 0.001BTC to 0.0005BTC
• the free bets can/will also vary for different matchdays
• if there is still interest in the jerseys, they can also be added to the prize pool (please note that if you win, you must provide me with a shipping address)

i'm tagging all the participants from last season here again in the hope that they will take part again this season:

Well, of course you can count me in. No more Alonso, but I hope Bayer continues to provide a stern test to Bayern. I am forever hopeful of some Freiburg miracle, but we also have some interesting conversations with the new boys in Bundesliga, not least of all Hamburger!

P.S. Does anyone know where I can buy a good affordable past jerseys? Online searches are pretty bad esp for size S. Bayer's 120-yr jersey almost made me cough up..!

[Trofo]

I am in of course. Not gonna miss on any football pool this upcoming season.

Would prefer if buy in stayed 1mBTC but I get it why it was lowered. Last season all the pools costed me around 800$ and this season that amount would go well over 1000$ which is a lot of many for most. ROI is great though and I don't think I ever finished the pool season on bitcointalk in the red. One good result is usually enough, even without the free bets part.

[LTU_btc]

Wow, it's very early, but I'm not complaining Offcourse that I'm in! Already sent money (PM'ed with tx id).
Nice to see Hamburger finally returned to Bundesliga. It looked that they kinda stuck in Bundesliga 2, if I'm not mistaken from all clubs that played in Bundesliga 2, Hamburger been there for longest time.
Last season for me was worst from all since I started playing Bundesliga pool. So, I hope to do better this year.

ROI is great though and I don't think I ever finished the pool season on bitcointalk in the red. One good result is usually enough, even without the free bets part.

Already few seasons I'm planning to make spreadsheet to check how I'm doing in all pools, but I'm just too lazy :/ But I think that even if I'm in red, it's not deep minus.

✂️

the performance of Bitcoin is the reason why i reduced the buy-in by half (to 0.0005BTC)
on the other hand, i also want to give users the opportunity to participate in the bl pool, for whom 0.001BTC is a lot of money

and when the new season comes to an end next year, I don't want to know how much USD or EUR the 0.0005BTC will be worth then

[KTChampions]

Of course I'm in. I'll send fee as the other pools announce themselves, I'd like to do it in one payment.
I would be happy with the old fee amount, but I understand that in that case some participants might not participate due to the high bitcoin price.
Overall it doesn't really matter since we are fighting for respect 

[buwaytress]

I just realised from Trofo's post how much this season's entry fees will cost for all the pools and he's right, it's just not financially viable for some people, given it's several months salary where I come from! But I think if you do well in just one pool, or at the very least take part in all the side comps, the freebets themselves should at least cover back the outlay.

That's a long-winded way for me to also say: would be happy if it were a bit higher, but happy to always have a good opportunity to win something. Been fortunate enough to win here and there but I'd love to get in on Bundesliga too. I'll try to play with a lot of care this season... haha

@KTChampions that's what i expected from you, that as the current champion of the bundesliga pool you will also participate this season and try to defend your title
with @LTU_btc and @buwaytress we now have the first two official participants (list of participants has been updated)

to another ones... feel free to join!

That is your biggest weakness my friend, you now get light-headed because of your luck streak in the Club World Cup pool. Everyone could have gotten that lottery pool right, but here it's pros like me who you are up against.



I suggest you think twice before crashing into the wall. Maybe you believe I have no clue about the Bundesliga, but this is all part of a long-term sophisticated strategy that is about to be executed in the upcoming season. You can't ever blame me, I warned you!

Good luck, good luck!

The very best in any profession stay ahead of the curve by competing with the best. To be sure, I'm still getting airsick every time I'm above the majority in a pool or league. I got lucky in the last AFCON and so far am holding steady in this tournament (maybe my genius resurfaces every time it's a short format).

I like crashing into walls anyway, so it's perfectly fine to continue my donation in Bundesliga -- but if I were you I would study the psychology of the hustler, who insists on losing often at first, to pull in more unsuspecting moths to the light. Enjoy the limelight as a footnote in the grand history of Bitcointalk pools, brother!

The embarrassing truth is that I do worse than most others on a regular basis and I thought I really know what I am doing, but at the end of the day this is good proof that luck is still a huge factor.

Towards the end of all pool seasons, you can see that often the leading guys have the same picks. They are pretty strategic about it as it makes sense then not to take risk. I guess taking too much risk and deviate from standard expectations doesn't make much sense anyway, but I sometimes can't help but go against expectations.

Alright, entry fee sorted out...really looking forward to the new season.

Is it me, or did we have a somewhat different point system for draws last season? We used to get three points for non-exact draws, for example, if a match ended 2-2, anyone with 1-1 or even 3-3 would get three points...now it's two. Not a biggie, i just noticed it.
✂️

you noticed that correctly. this points distribution is automatically set in kicktipp and unfortunately i missed to change it before the start of the bundesliga (like last season)

Friendly reminder to have the scores for non-exact draws fixed/bumped from 2 to 3 points.

[cygan]

i had actually planned to do that
but now that you've reminded me, i've taken this as an opportunity to increase the points awarded for a draw from 2 to 3 points (as far as the tendency is concerned)

and thanks to join the bl-pool again

[Trofo]

Now I am officially in Good luck in new season guys, may you all finish behind me

I took a break from the last edition due playing way too many pools, and not paying attention to most of them, but I'll definitely back for this one even though it means another website to save on my tab, as this one is different from the superbru cliche.

I thought the league doesn't start until the 22nd of August, right ?

you're right – the league starts on August 22
that's why i set the deadline so that all registrations are completed by then, because some people register but wait to send in their buy-in.

it's a shame you can't be there this season, but i'm looking forward to seeing you again in the 26/27 season
