You all know I am playing, every buy-in we end up with is good for me. Talked a bit with icopress and we will give you guys a couple more days to give your opinions. Then the pool will officially start and icopress will start collecting money while I will make our league.

Same deal as FPL this season. He is in charge of money, I am in charge of handling fantasy stuff. Hope it will be a good one

Folden, Harry Kane and the one way merchant Saka are all old taste, I want to watch something different and just so you know I've never rooted m this English team. My favorite euro teams ( Germany, Belgium and Croatia) are all shit at the moment and I don't know what I'm going to brag with honestly.

To whom it may concern; download the UEFA gaming app from play store to get access to the Euros fantasy, get your team and play around. I like the mid-matchday sub rules.

I love it!

Many of us here already will not mind the entry fee, but if we want to attract more people to join in the pool, then we need to consider this and put them in perspective. 1.5 mBTC sounds appropriate.

Many players from England have had a good season and will be entering this competition in very good form. The only challenge for them will be playing time because there will be lots of team rotation. Phil Foden was Manchester City's best player from the just-concluded season; Palmer was the best for Chelsea; Saka also had a good season; and Harry Kane as well. But among them all, the player with the most certainty of playing in more games will be Harry Kane, because he remains England's most valuable player.

Something to keep me active - after two weeks of FPL, I was already bored and wanted something to keep me going. The only issue is that we may have a small pool due to the ongoing signature campaign bloodbath. With current Bitcoin price, 1-1.5 mBTC is sufficient to attract more participants. I'm fine with whatever buy-in fees you decide, but I'd want at least a large pool.

The last World Cup Fantasy was boring with wired rules; hopefully, this won't be the same.

Aside from Palmer who do you guys have on your Euros Watchlist?

Even though it is a lower sponsorship fee than I expected I want to join the fantasy pool very much. Therefore write me to the list absolutely. I'm going to be there.  I think 2 mbtc is suitable. In the end you are buying a fun package for the whole Euro 2024 with this money. 

Personally, I don’t mind this thread having to serve that purpose as a temp thread for the Euros in 2024 days, I’ve been a bit bored with all the leagues gone and I would have loved to compete but, am not a big fan of international footballing competitions. Can’t keep up with them and the news hence, it would be just loosing yet again I think. So, am not sure I would be in on this one but, I might just be here to see how it goes.

2mBTC served its purpose well when Bitcoin price was ranging and it came easy, coupled with the fact that, the sponsorship was much more than that and enticing as well. To enjoy the game and make it more competitive, the entry fee would be what bridges that and push the prices a bit up.

So I’ll say, 2mBTC is enough if you’re sure to have more participants.

Obviously, it could be that and these are speculations that could easily be the other of the times. Like we had people from Clubhouse TV channel on Telegram, coming over to voice over the cheat situation we had from last time and picked up the pace with evidence to support the proceedings, it was something nice to see. Such users would be able to adapt rather easily and add to the forum but, I don’t think the forum is what the sponsorship is about mostly.

My first season, we was just a handful and it wasn’t any less competitive but this season, we had even more users and it still was very competitive. Having more and having the list of users grow helps to promote more competitiveness and the idea of a bottlers league ensures you don’t get to give up on being competitive because you found yourself relegated in the bottom due to some mistakes you made when the season kicked off. All these really adds to what we could benefit as well as the prize pool.

As much as opening the opportunities for just anyone could go, it would be nice for those that have been around to have some differentials with the entry fee. Take it as a faithful’s benefit.

I'd play, not sure we'll get a big pool though. 1mBTC is the soft spot but it's the Euros, if you decide to go with 2mBTC I hope the people will still mostly go for it.

Would be a good test actually. Small sponsorship fee, big buyin, let's see how big the crowd is when we're the ones to chip in most of the rewards.

Friends.

This thread will serve as a temporary home for Fantasy Euro 2024

The sponsorship fee will not be as large as we would like (about $1200 + bonus codes), but nevertheless I wanted to know your opinion.

What do you think if the entry fee is 2 mbtc?

It is very possible that some of these people that would join this forum for the purpose of participating in our FPL games, may just decide to stick around and become members of the forum, so I would not be so bothered about them coming around to just eat some money and leave although that is possible too.

More person's in the pool will make it more fun and improve the competition, I support it too.

This should be fully supported. We need some fresh blood ant tthe more people we have the better.


Honestly, I really like this. Considering the main thing here is banter, everybody that discusses for a while will reach Member status quite soon. I'd say Member and higher pays the same, lower ranks pay 50% more.
That means less room for multiaccounts as well.

You have a point there, I think over the cause of my first season participating in this group and competition, I naturally felt it was a member exclusive thread where users in the FPL get to discuss tactics and how to manage the proceedings of there team, I even had to rebuke a user whom randomly dropped by to share some comment on the games that week but, was made to come to an understanding that by Icopress on how the thread doubles as both an FPL and EPL thread on the gambling board.

This brings to mind that, though we might not have participation from everyone or even some players, it doesn’t necessarily mean that thread isn’t been watched. Before I joined up, I watched the thread for sometime.

I’m my first season, I think users on the forum could get an invitation link to join right from the sponsorship site, was that it… someone remind me if am wrong. While this might not advertise the sponsorship site but rather the forum, this thread, functioning as a double does reflects the sponsorship too.

I get your point, feels like they would just come in, take our money and leave right? I guess that wouldn’t bother you much if you were winning, lol… am not winning anyway but, I’ll be there soon and am not very much bothered on the fact that, I have those much better than myself having to win the prizes and teach me the game but, I’ll like to see these guys around. Not having them come with yet another alt every time, creating more and more accounts that adds nothing to the forum only to leave it after the season and multi-participate in the next.

All good if we can attract some truly bottlers rather than a bunch of Alts to boost the prize pool and increase the pool's competition, but the only concern is that if strangers from outside the community continue to win the larger prize, everyone will become bored and lose interest over time. I enjoy losing money to individuals I know, as well as taking their money for bragging rights.

Can we also increase a little % for those buying in from outside the forum? We pay 1, they pay 1.5 ( forum privilege)  

Yeah but you guys are missing the other part of equation. We have to sell these pools to someone to get sponsorship. You can't sell a pool for the same 20 people which all already have their accounts made on all the bookies represented on forum.

To get sponsorship money you need some angle, be it players, popularty or whatever. And that goes double for fantasy which has super focused group and nobody who isn't part of the pool reads this thread

You need to be a forum user to join the FPL on the forum, that’s to say, it’s exclusive to for forum users but then, having to create an account with aim geared at participating in it’s forum exclusive FPL contest feels a bit off. Given that, the much that is done here would be undermined just for some fun time while contesting for a grand prize and runner up.

Even now, I feel a little board of the fact that, the season is gone, the FPL in another 3months then, we would have our guest users gone with their league oriented account, only to come back when there is a prize to be won. It doesn’t feel like the best approach towards the forum. They don’t leave us a ghost town, only to ride in when we preparing a fist.

More regular forum users would be nice. So, I’ll say get regular and get a pass towards some of the forum’s exclusive activities and not just a registration ID with a fee to support.

Creating an account just to join isn't enough for me; we want individuals who understand the forum rules and are willing to play fairly; we shouldn't just choose people from the street to increase the pool size. I believe that this is a private pool that should only be open to Forum members who understand how this place works, care about their reputation, and are aware of the consequences of cheating in a pool.

The only time we let a random duck head into the pool, he nearly shot us in the head and stole our money. I'm fine with the numbers we already have. If it weren't for the few of us who keep this thread going, it would be somewhere among the 444+ pages buried in the sand of time, looking dusty like Liverpool's Donasiour era League titles cabinets

Yeah, I wouldn't mind people from the outside, there is only so much room we can grow into here on the forum. Sports betting is a niche and then Fantasy is a niche inside that. On the other hand, as Igebotz says I also want to play against people I know and can chat with here on the forum. This season was a bit flat on the top since 3/4 people that I was fighting against most of the season aren't vocal here.

Banter is what makes these pools tick. Sponsorship money is a bonus we all enjoy but if it wasn't for that ask yourselves how many would join the pool actually? I know I would and I am quite sure for all the people writing here regularly as well. We just get more from it.

In short, if they are guys (or girls) who will regularly discuss things with us, by all means, otherwise keep them away. This is my personal opinion not my stance as a pool organizer. Who knows who will organize the pool, what sponsors we will have, and what rules that combo will land on?

That's nice to hear...my record across all pools from last season was awful so I have to check my spreadsheets and calculate how profitable every pool was before I make a decision but would be of course nice if the door is open for me.

Yes such people with "multiple personality disorders" make it harder for everyone.
I can understand now why bookmakers sometimes have to run additional security checks just because of such scammers and now even prediction pools aren't safe from them.

We're already dealing with trofo masterclass and we're all far behind and now you're just gonna bring in bunch of FPL experts to kill us all and take our money  this is all fun playing with people I chat with here. Just my opinion.

Arsenal did well this season, but the unfortunate thing is that the only thing we have to show for it is the record we made.

89 points this season, higher than our 84 points from last season and we still did not win the league! Pep's side has been the weapon fashioned against us for two seasons. It is going to take an incredible performance, one that Arsenal losses no game all season in the league if we are going to beat this Pep's team.

This was Arteta's first Champions League experience and the first for many of our players, What kind of performance were you expecting? I was delusional enough to think that we could do it, but I saw how shaky our boys looked against the more experienced Bayern Munich. The entire experience was just a learning process for Arsenal, we will come back stronger this season in the champions league.

Smartvirus is one sneaky player, he doesn't talk much about his moves, but he gets results. @Igebotz, I will not be surprised he finishes ahead of you.

On the other side of things, what may be surprising to you both is that I finish ahead of you both (laughing in Satoshi)

I take motivation from this; this was my first season as well, and I will surely be better next season.

I also think that everyone should be able to get involved however I was thinking of inviting some of my friends outside the forum for next season. They would not only sign up to the forum but also would join contests. However after these incidents I would understand its not being allowed.

People who are in very bad places in their first season shouldn't be sad. I was also bad in my first season and I completed this season in 3rd place after the disqualification decision.
