The new English Premier League season will start on Friday the 11th of August 2017 and I've decided to organise a betting pool on the weekly results. The competition is similar to Skybet's
SuperSix where you will get points for predicting the correct score and/or outcome but over all the games played that week and points will be counted and tallied up throughout the season. The person with the most points at the end of the season will win the pot but there will be second and third consolation prizes.
It will cost 0.01
BTC to enter and currently the prize money will be around (in
BTC equivalent):
£400 1st place
£80 2nd place
£20 3rd place
But this may change depending on how many people sign up. Currently we have 21 users who have pledged 0.01
BTC but hopefully we can get a few more before Friday.
If you wish to join in at any time during the season you can do so by sending 0.01BTC to the following address and PM me with the txid: 1NpyfbUeiEMtdCqqBwWNPMSmHLPLLynqfUIf any anonymous (or not so anonymous) donor wants to spice things up for us by adding money into the pot I'm sure that will be greatly appreciated by all
.
How to play: At the beginning of every week I will post the fixtures in advance and you just need to predict what you think the exact score will be of all the games played. You will get 40 points for a correct/exact score and 10 points for a correct outcome.
Example:If you picked:
Arsenal v Leicester 0-1
Burnley v Swansea 0-0
Crystal Palace v West Brom 1-1
And the actual results are:
Arsenal v Leicester 2-1 Loss: 0 points
Burnley v Swansea 0-0 Win: 40 points
Crystal Palace v West Brom 2-2 Win: 10 points
You would get 50 points from those three selections. The winner would obviously be the person who gets the most points at the end of the season.
