I'm in for both the Euro and Copa America pools. I'd appreciate it if someone could please share the link to the signup thread (when it's ready) here because i tend to miss some topics that are not on my watchlist.

So, not to get completely off-topic here,....man fuck these Verona bums, i just skimmed through the highlights from the match real quick, so many good chances wasted, they hit the post twice, got a shady VAR decision against them to disallow a goal that was in the buildup like a minute prior to the goal, only to get a late equalizer out of nowhere and ruin my close result and give bigdaddy and Trofo 3. I hate those late goals like you can't even imagine, rant over! Cheesy

I am thinking EURO should not be a problem but Copa America could be less interesting. My rule of thumb is that 10 players minimum are needed to have a fun pool.

Yeah, getting participants for EURO pool shouldn't be difficult. But we already had Copa America pool in 2019 and there was 10 players:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/copa-america-2019-discussion-thread-prediction-pool-registration-closed-5146493. I think we can get at least 10-15 players this time. Main issue that EURO and Copa America will be played on same time, so probably Copa will get less interest because of this. But I like that this summer we will have football all day all night Cheesy

We did have a euro pool as I recall or was that World Cup now? Either way definitely joining if there is enough interest!

Can't remember about EURO 2016, probably prediction pools on Bitcointalk 5 years ago wasn't thing yet. But we really had pool for World Cup in 2018, it was fun thing.

It's actually still called Euro 2020. I made the mistake myself but looked it up and it was after all decided to retain the original name so as not to cause confusion ha.

I always bet on Copa, and even Afcon... Good value bets always to be found on smaller countries but who recently have very competitive squads thanks to rich vlub experience in the Europe Big Fours...

I'm definitely going to join prediction pool next season. Also, I hope that you or hilarious will make pool for EURO 2020. I just realised that we have Copa America this year also - maybe it can be interesting too.

I have just sent a pm to hilarious to check if he is interested. Both competitions are starting in a little more than a month and I would like to have threads up as soon as possible to judge the interest. I am thinking EURO should not be a problem but Copa America could be less interesting. My rule of thumb is that 10 players minimum are needed to have a fun pool.

Are we calling this EURO 20 or EURO 21 Huh

I will be running this pool next season for sure as long as we have at least that 10 players. I'll start it immediately in this thread after sending the prizes for this year.

Thanks for Milan analysis, folks. As I already said, my knowledge about Serie A isn't deep enough, but I also got impression that Miland squad depth and quality isn't good enough to compete with Inter, Juventus and even Atlanta or Napoli. Injuries didn't helped them too.
@Trofo, wow, it's nice numbers. I didn't knew that there is extra prize for yellow cap winner, but unfortunately it's mission impossible to reach tyKiwanuka - 24 points per round is something extraordinary. I'm already waiting for next season and despite that Serie A isn't my league, I'm definitely going to join prediction pool next season. Also, I hope that you or hilarious will make pool for EURO 2020. I just realised that we have Copa America this year also - maybe it can be interesting too.

Since we are coming close to the end of our pool. I checked our yellow cap winners. The man to beat at the moment is tyKiwanuka with monster 24 points. He also had a couple more big points yellow hats so I am not sure how he is not ranked a lot better in our pool. I guess it is all or nothing for our yellow cap champ.

And to remind you all about our prizes:
First place: 0,018 BTC - 950$
Second place: 0,01 - 0.011 BTC * - 550$
Third place: 0.005 BTC - 260$
Highest round score among all the rounds: 0.0035BTC - 180$

Not bad for a buy in of about 25$ isn't it? The beauty of bull run, may it last for a long long time Cool

I must admit that I don't follow Serie A as much as La Liga or EPL, so, I want to ask one question. What happened to Milan in second part of season? In first part of season they looked like Scudetto contenders and now it's likely that they can end without spot in Champions league next season. They loose toalmost every direct competitor recently.

I don't know, whether this is a related issue about Ibra or not because even before when Ibra was out of action due to injury but the truth is Milan can still be consistent in getting points to win and / or draw. But after Ibra's case went up, Milan seemed unable to be consistent anymore and everything seemed chaotic in the team or just happened by chance because it seemed like Milan still needed longer time to finally rise like Inter or at least fill the UCL position.

Reality check!

I am not following Serie A that close but when I look at the squads Milan has mediocre squad when compered to top clubs in Italy. Juve, Inter, Atalanta and Napoli have better teams. Lazio and Roma are on the level of Milan so I would expect Milan to finish around 6th place.

What happened to Milan in second part of season?

It's difficult to pinpoint a single reason for their recent mediocre results, things are, imo, very complex.

The campaign began well for them as you noted, with just one loss in their first 25-30 matches iirc, possibly the best performing team in all of Europe, and it just wasn't possible to keep up until the end, it was unsustainable as simple as that.

The tight schedule (including their Europa League rendezvous) and multiple injuries in defense primarily resulted in rather unwanted draws against weaker opponents. And, although they have a reasonable amount of players to choose upfront, Pioli is forced to play with Kalulu and Tomori (neither of them has a place in this team) if Kjaer and Romagnoli are not available. I'll use Liverpool as an example: when your key guys (centre-backs) are absent, things get really difficult.

Milan will almost certainly not qualify for the Champions League, Atalanta and Napoli have relatively easy remaining fixtures, and the final spot will probably go to Juventus, who have a direct match with Milan next week.

Juve if I must pick one of them.

Quote from: morvillz7z on April 24, 2021, 06:31:45 PM

Verona's defense has been abysmal these last few fixtures, and with Inter coming off two straight draws, it might be a long Sunday afternoon in Milan. Also, Verona has zero wins at San Siro against Inter (historically speaking)...if i were you, i'd mark that match off my list of possible upsets for tomorrow.

As for Juventus, unlikely, can't see it happening, but i'm hoping for goals, Fiorentina's last three home matches have produced 5 or more goals, so i'm tempted to go for O3.5...we'll see. Cool

Right then, I've made up my mind, thanks boys. Inter 2 straight draws I agree, they'll want to change things up and get off the marks quick, so a HT win is what I'll do with them.

Juventus on the other hand just look so lost I think Fiorentina will fancy their chances. Odds weren't TOO bad either, so I finally took it at 6.6. I'm definitely staying off BTTS today, even though so tempting haha. All the leagues are finding it hard to score now!

BTTS is coming in the other 2 games 100%. Or maybe I should say it would have come for sure if I did not put them on my ticket. This way I am a bit skeptical

Weird seeing Sassuolo keep a clean sheet, Samp hit the post once and were not given a penalty in the second half, this one should have also been btts.

Eh damn another BTTS parlay failed. Two in a week now, signs must be telling me I jumped on the btts ship too late. Funny how I can pick the games so well hmm!

Other games today uninteresting for me so I'll just stay put on my losses like a good kid and just watch highlights tomorrow morning.

Juve if I must pick one of them.

Since we Liverpool also have something against Atalanta (making it up as I go) sure why not? Might even form a sister hate club for Napoli. Lazio I can be my one member club it's ok. My fault for backing them often and ignoring yhe fact that they are not of the same vintage as last season.

Also, need something else other than my club's owners to pour scorn on.

Walkon, btts, walk on.

Six rounds and a month of football left before it's all concluded and we have our champion crowned.

Trofo leapfrogged into third place with a monster 14pts performance, i guess i have to worry about him too now, 20pts ain't that much. Grin

Since this thread serves other purposes, such as bashing on Atalanta, these jerks had no business losing points today, they should've scored 3 or 4 before halftime, Muriel missed a three-foot sitter in the second, he probably misses one in a thousand on a bad day, then a red card and a goal from the logo (if i can use an NBA term). We should form an Atalanta hate club or something, who's with me? Cheesy

It was about time for me to earn one yellow cap. My goal in all pools is to keep in touch with leaders and then leapfrog them in last few games. Of course it never works, but maybe this time...

Welcome to Atalanta trash talk club. We are rapidly rising in numbers Grin

So are you saying I should put two even bets on 0-0 and 1:0? Wink

Maybe even 0-0 pre-match and live 1-0 around 90th min;)

Given my run when betting on Atalanta it is quite probable yes. You just forgot to cover Juve winning 1:0 as well. Maybe your best would be to play 1 max one goal in the match Grin

I have lost so much on Atalanta so this is their last chance to give me back something, I just know I'll get rektd.

Dammit man... it was 7/1 on 0-0 and I didn't even get in time to put 1-0 live. This could have been a nice fat win for me, but ended up losing even though Atalanta nicked it in. Live betting is just so hard on my connection but to be fair markets are always closing to close to the game.

Told you. It was a given, every single time I placed a bet or watched Atalanta it was a game with maximum of 1 goal in it. It feels like it was about 10 times this season which is absolutely incredible. I am not sure for all games but I remember those that hurt me most: Juve, Real, Ajax, Napoli, Genoa, Calgari.... Screw them, not gonna touch them this season any more. They are so far up on my blacklist that other teams almost don't matter.

Every time I just check the result they win with some crazy goal line like 4:2

Most annoying match of the day for me so far, Lazio winning was pointless too as others fked me up (Arsenal).
