Well at least I got ten points on the Chelsea game.

Anyone get an error on their scores? Says at the top "Due to a technical fault, some players might notice errors in their scores when viewed in Predictor league tables. We are unable to correct these errors before the end of the season. We apologise for any inconvenience caused":



Says Steph got 110 points but only added 70 I believe (I think he was 20 points behind me last round).

Worst week of premiership for me with only 10 points, Liverpool equalising, Burnley not winning yet and I doubt it will win, Newcastle losing, are just a few of the games gone wrong. This is a great opportunity for the ones behind me to overtake me in the standings as I see no chance of recovering for this week. Only two weeks to go after this.

Well you did better than me. I got zero. Closest I came was my 1-0 prediction to Burnley but they failed to score. I wonder how well the rest did? I could easily fall down to fourth place now  Angry. I doubt there was many correct scores though this round but those correct outcomes all add up and steph only needs twenty points to level me.

Yeah it is becoming quite tough at the top of the list. I think anyone in the top 5 has a real chance to become number one with hilarious and stephencurry being the most advantaged to win this betting pool. I had Everton to win 3-1 but 1-0 gave me 10 points and I see very few people got points from this game. This weekend games will be crucial as only two weeks left after them.

Lovely post that buddy. If anybody gives a shit I put Everton 2-2 Newcastle, not looking likely atm but hope to pick up 10 points for a draw maybe.


I had 1-1 down and was hoping for the equaliser. Looks like StephenCurry333 was the only one to get it right and moves up only 20 points behind me now.

Anyway I'm willing to play for 100 GBP for an EPL fantasy league if hilarious organizes it, it's way more fun, less for a betting pool prediction.

I prefer betting on scores. Never been that much interested in Fantasy leagues before. I'll set one up alongside the pool though and see how it goes.

We could stick with £25 maybe and try the higher stakes one as well at £100. Think we would need a minimum of five players for it but ideally ten. We could have winner takes all so it's a straight £1000 for the winner. Would the current top five be interested in the higher stakes one?
If you stick with those numbers I will join both pools. I would prefer to have rewards for at least top 3; 3rd place could have just the stake back and hopefully with the rise of BTC still be happy Smiley Of course that makes sense only if enough people join, if it is below 10 people, winner takes all sounds good.


It won't be every week. It will just be whoever got the most points from a round at the end of the tournament. I'll probably do 2 or maybe three places though just in case somebody gets a ridiculous score by fluke and will probably likely never be beaten haha.  It would be too costly otherwise unless you wanted to do the prize for something small like £1 but that hardly seems worth it. I'll see how many people we actually get before I decided anything though. If we can get a load then we can give out more prizes but don't want the main prize pots to be small.

Sounds good, should keep even those without winning chance to keep playing. IMHO it is much better to have few prizes with solid amounts then weakly prize of 1£.

Are you guys mostly UK based? I thought USD would give much more of feeling about actual amount discussed to most members here. Dosen't matter to me, just had to copy paste GBP symbol since I don't have it on the keyboard Smiley On the other hand it makes sense since it is the Premier League.

All for a repeat of next round next season. I'd love to participate in two pools, whatever the cost is. I know I gamble enough away anyway, and it'd give me the chance to try for two "strategies". GBP 25 and GBP 100 sound good to me. These weeks have been way more interactive than other pools I joined, though yeah, tough to see people giving up.

@LFC and hilarious: I'm a late "Bitcoiner" but still managed to get most of what I hold in late 2016. Of course I didn't sell at the ATH but I was always going to hold out, will do the same for years until it either goes boom or bust. I'm not all in on anything, can't afford to be since I'm no longer "alone" in my life, but I hope you guys at least remember to cash out enough to enjoy some well-deserved reward.

P.S. Game starts in 9 minutes so put in your predictions.

Edit - And yes hilarious, I’d do a £100 one if people wanted to, I reckon a few other peeps would join too maybe.

I’d be willing to up it to £50 for sure next season. I’d do £100 too but I don't think we’d have enough people willing to join & pay that much.

I'm sure whatever the value to enter next season there will be many who will be interested to join. Have a friend who already said his interest to join next season. But the side rewards in every week I think will be very good to apply. Grin

Yes I like the second way of the prize in btc, this way for the next season we will have more people who will be enticed by that amount and more people will join even with double the entry fee of what it was this year. I think this week will make a difference as it will have apart the game of tonight , all other games on the weekend and not diversified in different days. I have had bad luck with different days while my luck has been good on weekend only games.

After missing two to three rounds (probably more, I lost count) I lost hope in bouncing back and eventually gave up. I'll still join on the pool for the next season. I'm fine with a £25 entrance fee I could go as high as £50 if everyone agrees with it.

Cool. The consolation prizes should keep people like you interested in playing on. At the minimum I'll make it so a couple of people can win their money back at least. Depends how many people are playing. I'd like to make the prizes more than just winning their fee back if I can as it's always nice to win a bonus. As for £50, if most others agree to it I'll probably go with that. £25 or even £50 isn't much at all for an entire season of fun. I bet most gamblers send more than that in a week so £50 for an entire season shouldn't break the bank and it's gambling responsibly at least  Grin. There's all the new players to consider as well.

There's this in the other thread:

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




But will probably just go with these:

The top five will win prizes. The actual amounts are somewhere in the thread but I'll need to find it. Think they might have been in dollar or pound amounts as well so we'll have to work out what it would be in today's value.

Thanks boss  Cool

I remember maybe these awards:

1) 0.10 btc
2) 0.06
3) 0.03
4) 0.02
5) 0.01

What fee should we do for next season? Should we keep it at £25 or maybe up it a bit to £50 or something. We could still do two different ones - a higher stakes and lower stakes pool. Lower stakes could be £25-50 and the higher stakes £100 or even more. I would join in both at £25 and £100. I'm sure we can get more interest for next season but I don't know how many players from this round will drop out. It seems 10 players aren't really participating any more. Next season I will include a couple of consolation prizes for the person who gets the highest score in a round just so people have something to keep playing for.

I know it's still 4 games left and if anyone can get 100+ points each of those remaining weeks, they can still pip someone in the Top 5, but you bet your ass they'll also perform to their usual averages! I lost a bit of discipline when I dropped to 6th/7th and tried betting on crazy results, but paid that price. Lessons learnt for next season or will the gambler in me shine through? Heh.

Still going to play for fun of course, and you just never know, maybe I make 200 points in two weeks and everything looks bright again.

Still working on prepping for the World Cup. Bitcoin's price is also looking like it'll get to 10k, so that's a really lovely pot waiting for you guys.

I hope so, my cold storage stash when the price was $19,000 (if I sold) went from me being able to afford a really nice house & even 1 or 2 properties to let out also to only being able to afford an average 4 bedroom house.

Welcome to the club.

I’m relying on bitcoin a lot to make my life comfortable in the future. Watch this space after the next halving, I expect to see $50,000 per bitcoin, maybe more.

I wouldn't put all your eggs in one basket or bet all in on bitcoin. Bitcoin has always been incredibly risky and there's always the threat of that bubble bursting one time where it just doesn't recover or even an alt over takes it.

Back on topic - I don’t think I will finish any higher than 5th, looking like I’ll stay 5th. I am trying my best but it just hasn’t been good enough this season.

I think the top five will probably stay as they are now but anyone of them could win the top spot I think. I'm happy in the top five but that 1st place spot comes with pretty sweet pot so obviously want to keep that position.



What are the pot pay outs 1st - 5th ?
I think it’ll be yourself or StephenCurry to win
