Pool is now officially closed for this season. There is 21 of us competing and we have 40 mBTC sponsorship from Sportsbet. That comes down to 61 mBTC total funds.
Season 2024-2025 rewards structure:
1. Place - 25 mBTC (fees are paid from this prize)
2. Place - 12 mBTC
3. Place - 8 mBTC
4. Place - 6 mBTC
5. Place - 5 mBTC
Highest overall yellow cap - 5 mBTC
There is no reserve for fees so first place will sponsor our transaction. Fee will be set to confirm inside 5 blocks. In case fees stay like they are now that isn't important but if we get some crazy situations and overall fee gets over 1 mBTC I will spread it over other rewards as well proportionally. I never consolidated inputs before but if you think that is something you want me to do, let me know.

Anyone else got the itch for a Como surprise? I'm still considering! Monday is far away.
They definitely have an interesting project brewing down there. They signed few players I considered way out of their league. Now it is time to see if they will gel properly and get some results.Either they are throwing money at them or they have some big ideas that resonate among players.

Now all they need to do is hire Zidane and they will have the two best footballer headers in the world
Took me a while to Google and figure that out heh. Well, the world has fewer crazies managing teams now, wish I could tune in more to Serie A and get a bit of juices flowing.
You won't believe who is Empoli's new coach.

I noticed something new when seeing the Leaderboard now and looked about it.
Seems now the yellow cap ranking is only updated on Leaderboard, to show the last round's top guy.
But if you check, round by round, the winners are still wearing their yellow caps
This is because in Rounds, there is no tiebreaker on points.
But on leaderboard, there is tiebreaker, using Superbru closeness system. More correct picks > more exacts > more close > more correct margins.
Just in case anybody else is curious

Well done Hhampuz/jeremypwr for figuring out the secret recipe of MD1
At the beginning I do, yeah. Later on mostly on home/away performances and recent form.
If early rounds get me near the top, I spend ~5 min selecting results. If I'm bad from the start, then probably less than a minute
I do yes, but odds are somewhat similar or close to what you'd expect anyway in the big leagues, if you take into account at least last season's form. Especially in Serie A anyway, Napoli, for example, shitty finish and still the slight favourite in MD1.
Same as cryptofrka, the better I do, the more I think. Heh.
Can't afford to act like immature boys in the big leagues. I've always believed in game management as key to survival, doesn't matter if you're a rich squad or a newly-promoted one. Win the games you can by killing any possible comeback. Lose the games you will by as few goals as possible. The only time you're allowed to be naive is by betting like I do
Does anybody else base some of their predictions on bookmakers odds (some of the lesser known teams playing each other).

They reminded me of Benevento under Pippo Inzaghi a few years back, that naive, open style of football that gets punished almost every time. I know it's only round 1, but that's the vibe i got from them...long season though, things can change.
Lol, i didn't realize Pepe Reina was still playing...👀

Juve and Atalanta's wins today ended a mini-streak of rather unexpected results over the weekend. I don't mind the normalcy, neither my bets.
Watched a bit of Juventus and Como...I don't think Como will stay up. They were caught twice on counter-attacks, which is not a great feat for a newly promoted team playing on the road.

I don't understand how a mediocre coach like D'Aversa (relegated with Parma last season)....
Despite the poor start to the season, i don't think they'll get relegated. They have a decent squad and most importantly, Giampaolo (he along with D'Aversa might be the worst coaches in Italian football) is no longer with the team.
My boy Roberto d'Aversa is hitting new highs in his illustrious coaching career:

🟡🔴 Serie A side Lecce have decided to sack the manager Roberto d’Aversa after he headbutted Verona striker Thomas Henry yesterday.
The thing is that no one wants to coach shit teams in Serie A anymore, the same 5-6 names are recycled over and over. He'll be back in a year or two, mark my words.
You won't believe who is Empoli's new coach.

Hhampuz (and myself) win the Round 1 Yellow Cap
Quite a lucky break for me, 3 exact and 1 result, rest all wrong haha. Trying to figure out these different leagues as I feel quite comfortable with the PL but in Serie A it seems anything can happen
EDIT; Wrong league, lol. It seems I had a decent run here! Now to keep it going..

Very bad start to this pool for me, same with La Liga. I need to get my shit together.

2. 0.5 mBTC free bet for all participants paid when the league starts and we have the final number of participants
Hey guys,
Free Bets for 0.5 mBTC have now been credited to your Sportsbet accounts
Received!
A very bad start in this one, with a few strange results in the openings.
Rome yesterday against Cagliari and Milan against Torino for sure destroy so many bets.

Bump, La Liga gets all the love so writing this here. Sending sign up free bets to be paid. Only for those that actually paid sign up fee. Those that I am still waiting on will get it after they pay. Same goes for La Liga as always.
Edit: Change of plan. After discussing with jeremypwr, everyone gets free bet now.

Hey guys, Serie A starts with Genoa - Inter match today. Not a lot of time left to join, we are talking hours here 20 of us so far which is respectable but I expected at least a couple more players since we have 26 in La Liga.
Entering my picks now. Don't feel confident at all.

Traditionally we have a couple of players less in Serie A than in La liga. Been like that every season so far. Some of the old ones that played only La Liga join here but then we get some newcomers for La Liga only. Enchanted circle
I love this enchanced circle concept, I think if we all look back on things like BSFL, none of it would happen if all the other pools didn't take place, regardless how big or small, you managed to get this enchanted circle group going and the magic flowed for BSFL and even LMS
BTW guys does anybody know how to find historical results for all the pools? I want to see if really I'm as bad as I feel in this pool but also in others.
August 04, 2024, 01:08:33 PM
^ Rules? What rules haha. Sent PM to the other two (sorry about that).
Has Serie A always been the smallest pool? I always assumed the same players in both La Liga / Serie A. It actually makes more sense if La Liga has more, given so many Spanish-speaking people on the forum.

I think Serie A has a lot of fans but like you said above , they might the smallest pool but I'm sure the fun for playing Serie A pool is without any equal because we all know very well that Serie A is very hard to predict no matter what team you chose to support.
That's why I do think Serie A is the funniest of all pools but unfortunately for me , they are a bit to expensive for me to join and I'm really not good at long runs for predictions

So with that, here's my payment for me (sojourner on Superbru), slaman29 and leea-1334 here: 354051233bfc60e7e141f9a7a3183d205600002e7f7b66dfa5ea75b079d9bbbf
Since you didn't do it by the rules and sent me PM. Now you got invite and link and I am making it your job to forward to these two you paid for I get many sign-ins and stuff like that, so I would appreciate if you would send me a pm. If you are paying for more people, include them in the copy. That way I can keep tabs easier and respond with links much easier. And most importantly I will not forget anyone.
Both pools are live and I have sent the links to all that paid so far. First time in history we have more players in Serie A than La Liga but that is only because of that tx above

Thank you!! I will make payment for La Liga and post in that thread but I hope you guys can be patient with me, maximum next week before weekend, I just wanna wait for one incoming payment to not waste the chance to squash everything in 1 transaction
I'm in in both La Liga and Serie A, made payment now. Today made payments for all football pools if I haven't missed anything. Quite a lot money combined when you pay at once, but not really much when you think that's for whole season fun.
And finally Trofo made segwit address

Great to see you here mate. Honestly, what keeps me playing is seeing the same old faces and some new faces every season. There are other competitions but I usually don't join cause there's no one to compete against or no mafia to make fun of
