0 points per round, tough! I didn't take any risks and scored 1.5 points more  Thank goodness, all my pursuers played reliably, too, and I retained my first place. But it turns out the risk was worth it: if the favorites scored 1.5 points, those who backed the underdogs could have turned the tables in their favor. At the end of the season, the results are always surprising, I didn’t watch the odds this time, but I’m sure the bookmakers saw this too and didn’t give good odds on the underdogs.

Yes! It made me drop out of 4th spot and lose 5% of the prize immediately 

But very happy of course to win something and I have sent my BTC address to @icopress,,, I would like to thank everyone involved for organizing so @Trofo and @Whale and for pulling me in to this competition even though I honestly had doubts about playing, first time lucky I guess is nothing to be ashamed of.

Friends, thank you all for participating, and everyone who sent a Bitcoin address has already received prizes! 

p.s. Leea-1334's prize will be sent when he sends me a PM. 

Done! Thank you bro

Sent the 5.5 to icopress and he turned 1500$ to BTC as per current rate which ended on 19.5. So we have a total of 25 mBTC.
That means these are your actual rewards once you all send your addresses to him. Thanks for playing guys and have fun spending the money.

I received my prize, thank you Whale and icopress.

Yeehaw! Freebet coming my way, I'll turn it into 10x and get better prizes than all you winners. Just realised the postponed final game is now abandoned.

That was my original plan. But throughout the entire season, I think I only turned $20 into $500 once. All tournaments have turned into a mess due to the number of games and the volatility of results is such that there are fewer reliable teams (only Bayern maintains its level) and, in general, the results are more even, with the favorites winning with greater difficulty than before (we cross out Bayern again). In such conditions, it is difficult to catch a multiplier of x100+.

I received my prize, thank you Whale and icopress.

If you'd like, you can thank them for their sponsorship and the consistent bonus payments throughout the year! I think this will help them feel the community's involvement.

I actually turned one freebet into several hundred, don't even remember the amount, very early on in the season. I don't know why I didn't stop. And then more recently in Champions League turned 2 freebets into over 10x in one or two shots. No need to ask me what happened next. I'm not sure what kind of disease I have to not even withdraw a little before going all in. Some obsession with turning the 3-digit balance into 4. Knowing I'll be obssessed with getting it to 5 after that.

I've actually been suffering in the past few seasons with the way odds have drastically ironed out owing to the exact reason you noticed: fewer reliable teams. I used to find it relatively frequent to hit 10/1s and above in the steamroller days of City, Real, even PSG. I don't think there has ever been one game this season with Real's opponent nicking 10/1. It feels like I'm getting cheated these days, betting on West Ham vs City and getting a meagre 5/1. What is that?

Payment received yesterday,,, thank you @Whale and @icopress it was the last prize but still super appreciated and a nice feeling to get fees back plus freebets over the season is always a good chance to recoup fees.

Personally disappointed in the outcome of the champions but who else here prefers to see PSG win Champions League instead of Arsenal?

Congratualtions to all the winners of this pool in his first ever season.

About the ligue1 itself we all know is not a top level league compared to Premier League for example but aside of that they are making efforts to become more and more competitive.

One thing to point out in this season is what a crazy to see a big team like Nice having to play the promotion/relegation play off and at the same time being in the cup final.

All clear! It's just unclear how such an experienced bettor as you could get so deep into this spiral. One lesson was enough for me, when I lost 50 mbtc (also a bankroll I built up from a free bet) at a Liverpool game with odds of something like 1.1. That was two seasons ago, and I don't take those risks anymore. Obviously, $40,000 is better than $4,000, but being realistic, it's better to take what you have than to bet on the mess we're seeing in sports right now.
By the way, the odds for Bournemouth were 4+ for a win and 4+ for a draw. What kind of crap is this? All tails are cut off.

Congratulations to all the winners, try as much as you can to spend your money wisely, lol. The Maiden edition of the Ligue 1 prediction pool didin't disappoint and i hope we can go again next season. I won a couple of Yellow Caps, so not too bad for me i guess.

Thank you to our sponsor, Whale.io, you do a lot for the community since you came. And as always, thanks to icopress, you run things smoothly all the time, cheers.
