I would love to do something for La Liga as well but I would prefer to have a few words with some sports crazy member from Spanish section first to get his opinion and help with spreading the word. Anybody knows such member? If so please point him to this post or something. I also believe La Liga would probably generate more interest.

I am putting you on the list with question mark added. It is not like you signed up for anything, this is more like to just measure the interest. I would definitely recomend that you join a pool here on the forum, they really are great fun. I have put links to the PL and CL pools we played this season in OP so you can check them out.

I think it is a good idea and I will probably join this one. I'm not 100% sure yet so don't count me in just yet, but I welcome this type of content and some fun won't harm anyone and it makes watching matches a bit more exciting after all

Exactly the same with me. I'd be terrible with predictions as I don't really follow the league at all and will only watch a handful of big or vital games, but I'm glad people are starting their own pools for various leagues and I encourage users to start their own for their domestic leagues.


You'd probably get more interest for La Liga to be honest, though again I don't really follow it that much apart from the big games. It's arguably the second biggest league to the PL though, but that doesn't necessarily translate to users wanting to join a pool here. Maybe make a post in the local boards trying to drum up interest. I'm sure there'd be a lot more users interested from the specific local boards/

yeah, it will be hard to have more than ten people for some leagues, i would join La liga as well, do not know about PL, but Champions league would like to join as well, Bundesliga for sure

think that this will be hard for Croation league

You got it wrong. Best round results is intended as a reward for highest points in single round when all rounds are over. Let's say you are doing bad in the pool and have no chance for the prize. You can still have one hell of a last round and make 25 points in last round and snatch the reward for best round 60$ as per your example. That gives incentive to all participants to keep playing until the end, no matter the results.

Edit: I could have worded that part better. I can see how it could confuse participants who didn't play previous pools. Will change it a bit


I am not following Serie A as well but I have no problem playing 20$ to have some extra fun. I know I will do badly but that doesn't bother me since I bet on higher amounts every day. This way I can use the pool as a sort of extra check if my bets are realistic. I just lock my picks and check out what the best participants have for particular game.

Edit: I would be interested to join or run La liga pool as well. If you know there is some interest we could run something. I am just afraid we will not have enough participants. PL is usually first choice than CL and then it could end up too expensive for most members to continue joining La Liga, Serie A or whatever else. I would also be up for German League, Europa League and Croatian league if I could find at least 10 interested people.

interested in joining the pool, think that it could be interesting, but i do not get this best round result, think that reward is too low, and should be forfeited, or rules a bit changed, or i do not understand the competition

let's say there is a 20 participants, and $30 entry, that is $600 for the pool, and best round result is 10% - $60, with 38 rounds in Italy, it is $1,5 - not worth sending on a BTC or ETH network, just a suggestion to adjust the prize pool

nevertheless, you can put me on the list of participants

I'm always interested in joining various prediction pools, but I'm not sure whether I will join this or no. I don't follow Serie A that much as La Liga or EPL, so it would be a bit difficult for me to predict, especially when we talk about smaller clubs. So, I don't really know now.

That is the same thing but your suggestion will be easier to understand for most of the members so I changed it. I am used to term match day because of fantasy football.

Fantastic!

I will reserve this spot for any update needed

@Trofo, I think that should be written "Best round result" or am I wrong?

Thanks to our sponsor BitcoinPRBuzz.com
I am happy to announce that we have sponsor for this year. BitcoinPRBuzz.com has generously agreed to sponsor us with 0.01 BTC and add an extra 0.005 BTC in case we have 15+ participants. That first sure part of sponsorship has already been deposited to pool escrow address.

How this pool works
Welcome to Italian Seria A Prediction thread. My intention is to run a pool on Superbru for the next season. This will be organized very similar as current Premier League Pool and Champions League pool. If you took part in any of them no need to read further, you already know most stuff.

For prediction we will use Superbru page and we will have complementary discussion topic here on the forum for participants only. Superbru has been around for years and they are very good at providing custom pools for all kinds of sports. The idea of the game is to predict correct scores from all the games which gives you max points (3). If you get outcome correct but not the score there is still some points awarded (1-1.5). The winner is the person with most points at the end of the season.

Buy in and prizes
This will be paid pool and buy in is set to 0.0025 BTC, just under 30$ at the moment I started collecting money. This seems like a very fair price for whole year of prediction fun + nice prizes boosted by our sponsor. All the collected money will be used for prizes.

Prize structure:
First place: 0,018 BTC
Second place: 0,01 - 0.011 BTC *
Third place: 0.005 BTC
Highest round score among all the rounds: 0.0035BTC

*All the transaction fees will be paid from second place prize since this is the one I boosted the most from my initial idea.

Disclaimer:
There will be no sharing of the prizes, prizes will be paid out as per Superbru ranking. Even if 2 participants have same points, Superbru has some tie breakers implemented so the prize goes to the participant that is listed first. In case the league gets cancelled for whatever reason (covid or something else) the rewards will be paid as mentioned above if more than half of the games has been played. If not, I will return the money or we will make a pool for next season.


Escrow and payment address
I am escrow for the funds on below mentioned address. In order to participate in the Serie A pool please pay 0.0025 BTC to below address and send me a tx via pm so I know who sent the money. After day or two check the paid participants part to see if I added you there for extra security. Thank you.
