Nice the pool's started, can't believe I've been asking for football for weeks and now it's all coming in a big bunch and I'm on the move ha!

All good though, at least where I'll be it'll be really easy to catch a game in public... and yes I know not everyone cares, but I'll be hearing the commentary in a language I understand w00t!

Thank you for the invite,,, of course I joined and I kept the team I was supporting, even though I feel like Pogba has something left to say and to prove himself all over again, he just might be one of those explosive players to do it all!

Agree about discussions of Germany football being healthy financially,,, that is purely because of their special rule that does not allow club to be in control of monopoly right?

Just a quick update, I have received sponsorship money from our main sponsor Sportsbet.io and our additional sponsor buwaytress. You can check balances on the escrow addressees.

Superbru created the leagues so I used some extra time during the weekend to create our pools. I have now sent invitations to all participants that payed so far. At least that was the idea, if you paid and I missed you, shoot me a pm and we will take care of that.

This message is valid for La Liga pool as well, but all participants of that pools are playing here as well so I am posting this just here.

I think that UEFA league ranking resembles Top 5 league very well, it's made according to all clubs performance in UEFA tournaments in last 5 years:
https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/uefarankings/country/#/yr/2022
No questions about England, Spain is still going 2nd, Italy 3rd with Bundesliga few points behind. France? C'mon, they'e struggling to stay in Top 5, fighting with Portugal Primeira Liga. As long as Ligue 1 and Bundesliga will remain to be one team league, they're not going to compete with remaining Top leagues. Especially France, while in Bundesliga it doesn't feels that much. Despite Bayern dominance, they have more decentr teams.

If we are objective list goes:
England
Spain
Italy
Germany
France


that is what UEFA list is showing as well

but, looking at tropheys in last five seasons, Italy has only Conference league last season, and that puts them above France, but below top three than won all EL and CL trophies in last five seasons
Germany that have:
1 CL (Bayern), 1 EL (Eintracht)
Spain has more:
2 CL, 3 EL
and England has:
2 CL, 1 EL

no France as trophy holders in last five years (PSG is big domestic only)

last CL for Italy was in 2010, by Inter and Mourinho, and for me more important measure is EL winning (since that prove more than one quality time in league), last trophy was by Parma (what a history for them) in 1999

^^^ interesting view, I would say that Bundesliga is for me bigger than Calcio (not just by teams, by results lately as well)
La Liga is bigger than both, but has really big quality gap between few clubs on the top, and teams from position 6 till relegation

this season in Calcio could see several teams fighting for title, and I will probably put something small on Lazio @51, to make it more interesting, with Maximiano on goal, I think that they are bound to at least 15+ clean sheets this season

I think Bundesliga is just bigger because German tv has more broadcast rights and beam it to a lot of places, unlike Italian, based on my experience going to resorts and hotels, they always have a menu and TV in German but very few have Italian.

In this sense even French football has bigger presence and perceived bigger quality.

But I think Italian football especially in recent times is really what I would say is high technical quality, maybe not speed and aggression like in Bundesliga.

Anyway, Lazio is nice, I hope they win too!
No way, french league can be considered any better than 5 position. If we are objective list goes:
England
Spain
Italy
Germany
France

Italy has great history but they had fallen off somewhat in recent past but now they are again rising in my opinion. Spain has lost a lot when Ronaldo and Messi left and it will have big reprecusions. I can see Italy taking that second position in the future, especially if Barca does not rise to the top of EU football again.

Germany and France can't get that far since you know league winner every season before it starts. Germany has maybe the healthiest clubs looking financially but that is also not enough to leapfrog other heavyweights.

I expect many more participants to be in your pools this year compared to the past seasons. I'm also going to be one of these participants. I'm planning to make payments for both of these two pools on Monday. I think that the quality of the Serie A has increased gradually in the recent years. Besides there is no such league as Juventus dominated in the old times from now on. The competition level in the Serie A has become quite high. I think that the biggest deficit of the Bundesliga is this.
You are right, there was never so many title contenders and it doesn't hurt that most teams in Italy playes watchable attacking football and try to score a goal more. Gonne are the days when Juventus had 20+  1:0 wins in season.

Italy is now back on track to maybe even overtake Spain on second spot. They are just missing a bit of that galacticos wibe Real and Barca bring. Premier League is untachable but Italy really rose high and Spain is fair game.

Hello! I have made my payments to both Italian and Spanish pools. I know I hardly post in here since this is a "fun for me and easy to do" league, but I think I'll do my best to be more active here as well. And in fact I think I did better here and in English pools than my own favorite Spanish. Strange life isn't it?

Anyway I already sent my PM to Trofo, good luck everybody, NOT!!

1. 100 mBTC cash for pool rewards (around 2200$ at the moment)

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this the largest pot we've ever had for the Serie A pool? If we get at least 15 people in, it will be more than BTC 0.12...plus all the weekly goodies. It's insane how some of these other pools don't get enough attention, especially given how cheap the entry fee is and how much you can win if you finish in the top places at the end of the season. Anyways, thanks to Trofo for running the pool for third straight year and for our very generous sponsor!  Tongue

I've already paid the entry fee! Looking forward to playing with you all!
This is the biggest pot we have ever had, if you look at dollar value at the moment pools were started, it is not so much, just around 400$. But if you look at BTC amount it is 60mBTC difference. Hopefully by the time season ends, BTC will also start going up and then we will have really unbelievable rewards.

I am always surprised how small number of participants for these pools is. Heck, we are on gambling part of the forum, and we get only 15 people ready to part with 30$ for these pools? Always surprises me, but on the other hand we are all family here while I don't "know" half of the people in Premier League pool Smiley

Firstly thank you to all the great sponsors for making this happen again. I really cannot wait to get this going again!

Something weird of a coincidence I was planning for a BTC deposit to SB account (been using USDT for a while now) today and then this pools all happen, so making payments right now.

Such great news to hear and yes it's usually one of Serie A/Spanish threads that becomes active and we forget the other one, which is of course natural,,, since we are mostly the same people or are we even all the same people?

We should try and get a new person each to join!

Hey! i was in the same situation but a user of the forum provide me the solution, use a P.O:BOX if you win , so you can still anonimus but keep receiving the gifts.

Search if in your country you can have one, but i think a lot of you are from Europe so easily can have this services in your Mails or postal services.
Yeah that works but it is extra hassle and i know people have turned down merch in the past.


Since I am running 2 pools with basically same rules, one of them always gets neglected a bit. I advise those that are just part of one pool the bookmark other pool thread as well. I try to duplicate all the important info but something less important does get neglected.

I am happy to inform you guys that sponsorship has been secured, our main Sponsor this year is again Sportsbet.io with whooping 100mBTC. Should be even better money by the time rewards get to be paid out. We will also have our secondary sponsor buwaytress to chip in with something. I will let him announce it himself.

Buy in for our pool will be 1.5 mBTC and we will again have some free bets promos/challenges for participants, courtesy of Sportsbet. I expect that this part will be more or less same as last year. Did not iron out all the last details yet. Will officially start the pool tomorrow probably so you guys can start joining.


Edit:
Op has been updated. You can start sending 1.5mBTC participation fee on below address. Please send me PM with tx id, or alternatively hit me on telegram @Trofo T

Currently in talk with sponsors, nothing finalized yet but I believe we will have very nice pot. Plan is to kick start both pools as soon as that is finished. Should be in next few days.

is there a eay to get shirt as sponsorship? if I remember correctly, there was a Watford shirt in EPL pool two years ago, and I would be quite happy to get Sao Paolo shirt this season Smiley, as this is new partnership for them

nevertheless, with Maximiano in Lazio, I will watch Calcio more, and would try to improve my score here, since this is the pool where I am getting worst results
There probably can be a way to get shirt as a reward, we just have to agree on proper way to award it. There is also a chance that not all participants are willing to disclose full address details and that is necessary to ship the shirt. I am also looking to put my hands on some new merchandise so I'll try to arrange something.

It is also probable that we will have to wait to actually do something on that part and maybe organize something mid season since I know Sportsbet did not get their merchandise packages for new season yet.

Hello everyone,,, did you all enjoy the month long plus break and vacation? I am just checking to see if there is going to be a new pool for the next season?

Seeing that there is good reception for EPL pool I thought I would also continue in the other 2 Europe pools. And I would like to pay soon before I lose everything on CL qualifiers ulp!
Of course there will be a pool Smiley I wrote about it in La Liga thread but not here since we are basically same people in both pools with one or two exceptions. Buy in will be 1-2 mBTC still deciding about it. Currently in talk with sponsors, nothing finalized yet but I believe we will have very nice pot. Plan is to kick start both pools as soon as that is finished. Should be in next few days.
