Yup. It's ironic because I had him for a basketball fan. Lol. 
Has he dropped by in the thread and posted yet? I'd like to pick his brain and talk about football. Maybe he could even start his own tipster thread or something.

Week 2 and this one are the worst for me. Last game of Leicester isn't helping either, I had them 1-0 correct result and now they are 1-1 already, let's hope they score so I get another 10 point and make this not another worse week, 50 points is acceptable. Anyway before this one I had 2 great weeks so I hope next one to recover a bit.
I also had 1-0 to Leicester. It seems Stephcurry is on fire with his predictions:
Leicester vs West Brom 1-1
Both he and rickbig got 120 points.
Week nine's games are now available to pick. There's a lot of games I don't like the look of.

Wow. I had both of last night's games at 1-1 but then decided to change them both to Everton and Newcastle winning at 2-1. So I lost out on 50 points for a fickle mind. Just goes to show what happens when emotions rule at betting haha...
Even if I get a correct outcome tonight, this will be my lowest scoring week. rickbig41's the only one so far to have more than 100 points. I guess eality forgot to put his picks in again?

^ Nope. Had it at 0 - 1. I really thought Everton would step up this weekend.
But overall, it's a weird round of results.

Doesn’t look like anybody had a great week so far, fingers crossed I improve on my pathetic 40 points in the remaining games this weekend.
Yeah, but that can change with the remaining games. I just got a perfect score thanks to a 90 minute pen from Rooney haha. Anyone else get 1-1? I see cicciobtc did and Step got 10 points for the draw. If I can get another 40 points from the remaining two games it won't have been a bad round in the end.

30 points here so that's 4 of us, there's so much unpredicted results this weekend I only manage to hit one of them and it's watford winning against arsenal. Good thing there's no movement on the upper to middle part of the leaderboard so i'm satisfied with the results for now.
I guess you are the only one who predicted Arsenal to lose, maybe someone else had it draw also but I had 1-2 correct result for Arsenal and I was hoping until last minute that they would score, but in fact they conceded a goal in that minute.

OK, so I stopped playing my bluffs this week (I almost always choose draw results for the Big 4 except Liverpool) but then Chelsea and Arsenal go ahead and make me smile ruefully (not that my draws would have gotten points anyway!).
Doubt anyone would have predicted City's 7-2, so am relieved (sorry guys) that my 30 points total so far hasn't pushed me down as badly as I thought. Still in eighth place, but well done to those who predicted the 0-0 draws (stephen your Under 2.5 bet on the other thread was a great pick).
@hilarious: 4th and 5th consolation gifts would be great, and I'm only too happy to agree. I'm having a lot of fun with this pool.

For me until this moment, a disastrous week with only 30 points scored after 6 matches
I hope for you that the 3 different matches have given you more points than me.

Yeah, I only got thirty points as well. StephenCurry got 40 points on the Liverpool vs Manchester United 0-0 draw so he'll likely still be top unless ajaxmoor got some big points.

Week 8 was a disaster so far for me and for everyone who hasn't played a bluff (bluff means to bet on the least favorite of teams ,when teams with huge difference are playing like in Crystal Palace vs Chelsea game). I have only 30 points from 3 correct results ,Liverpool draw, Tottenham win and Man.City win. Lol now that I see it I got 40 as I have placed 2-0 on Crystal Palace while I wanted to place 0-2 on Chelsea
At least you got 40 points, my predictions were terrible and I got only 30 points from Tottenham, Swansea and City. October 14, 2017, 12:15:32 PM

Welcome back to EPL everyone, don't forget to enter predictions! As can be expected, some of our favourite players are nursing injuries from their WC qualifiers. I don't really understand what happens in these games that break even beasts like Sadio Mane, and just before meeting our arch rivals too! Six weeks without Mane, I'm really gutted =(
Anyway, I've decided to KEEP my 3-0 Liverpool prediction, so if that happens, I'll be happy to only get 40 points this week.
@ciccio I think we voted to keep it to Top 3, as specified in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.20745851
Of course, the pot is worth something closer to £1,000 now!
@tokeweed Yeah let's spice it up next season with plenty of side bets!

It will cost 0.01BTC to enter and currently the prize money will be around (in BTC equivalent):
£400 1st place
£80 2nd place
£20 3rd place

I may do very small 4th and 5th consolation prizes just to make it a bit more interesting for others and an incentive to keep playing, especially with the pot having nearly doubled.
My picks this week are weirdly exactly the same as cicciobtc's choices with the exception of three.
here are my exact results for week 8:
Liverpool vs Manchester United 1-1
Burnley vs West Ham 1-0
Crystal Palace vs Chelsea 0-3
Manchester City vs Stoke 4-0
Swansea vs Huddersfield 0-0
Tottenham vs Bournemouth 2-0
Watford vs Arsenal 1-2
Brighton vs Everton 1-1
Southampton vs Newcastle 1-1
Leicester vs West Brom 2-0
after the break for the national teams, there are always surprises, we will see if it will be this again this time.

Great that premier league is back. This week based on the games that are playing sounds one of the most difficult so far so I expect a lot of surprises tomorrow. I would be very happy with 50 points this week.
I'm optimistic this week. Looking to get myself back into the top 5 or hopefully higher.
yes, with 5 prizes there are chances for so many players to win.

I think the top three spots will get some of the prize money. Although it would have been more fun if it was winner take all. 
Maybe next season we can also have side bets for highest goal scorer or something.

Are you proposing another change? I vote no.
Anyway, I think this is gonna be my week to move up a notch or two once again! And I hope to be in the top by December.
Here4Trades, for our side bet, Aguero could be back again for an early shock return. He's seen back at training. It's on!
I did not see the final decision on the various awards, in doubt I will try to get first in the standings.
However the experiment of this pool is very positive, this competition is really interesting.
Good luck at all
