Accepted the invite links of both the WC Bracket and Predictor Leagues. I also have already submitted my predictions on group stage as well as the match predictions. Can't wait for the opening kickoff of the World Cup to start, Russia vs. Saudi Arabia will be a good one and I hope I am right with my match prediction. To all league participants I wish you all Good Luck. Smiley

I can't say I'm that excited about the opening game but I'll watch it. Will probably be pretty boring as Saudi Arabia are easily one of the worst teams in the tournament and Russia aren't great either but they do have the home advantage. Maybe they have a couple of the referees in their pocket as well after buying the tournament in the first place  Grin. I think Russia will probably get through the group stage but will get knocked straight out (unless they have bought the refs and they go all the way  Cheesy). I would have gone with Egypt to go through instead if Salah was 100% fit but I'm not sure if he's confirmed to even be playing the first game or not yet.

Yeah, I think anyone seriously wanting to win money would probably just spend days betting on sportsbook. I actually had a really enjoyable experience with the recently-concluded EPL pool hosted by the same hilariousandco. Don't know if I'll learn anything from you guys (not because you don't have knowledge to share but because I never learn my betting lessons) but can already sense a bit of fun in this group... LFC, toke, Sy, and even Welsh looks like he could scatter some fun times over this thread.

I'm actually going to MISS the opener! Real life is inconveniently in the way.

I have already sent the required amount of BTC to the address for the entry in the World Cup pool, this is getting pretty exciting as the first match of the World Cup will finally begin in just a few days time, I guess it is time to start analyzing some of the matches in the group stage.
Analyze? Just lump on Wales! Oh shit they aren't in the world cup. Bloody hell I think I'm out of my depth here. I'll be routing for any team that rhymes with Bale, Wales or sheep I guess, and possibly those playing in red.

I know I might as well bet on a sportsbook for him but there's no existing lines other than Golden Boot and even I know it's a long shot for the Egyptian to win that without 2 of his Liverpool Tremendous Three with him.
My sources are telling me Egypt, and Brazil will meet up in the final, and Firmino will assist Mo Salah. Although, it should of been flagged offside Mane is in disguise of the linesman, and opted not to raise his flag.
And yeah to anyone who has paid already have you received the details via pm regarding on how to join the group? Or will Hilarious still wait until he received all the payments regarding the World Cup pool?
It would make sense for him to wait a while until the majority has been sent, and send the message in one rather than individually.

Just spent my commitment to the WC pool, I realise I'm the most cheapskate fee sender but I promise it'll confirm!

Thanks again to hilarious for organising this. I see 9 people already sent, so the pot's already pretty nice to see. Trofo and tokeweed, I see you got your sidebets going. Tempted to offer a head to head against my very own Mo Salah but let's see what happens with his fitness these next few days. I know I might as well bet on a sportsbook for him but there's no existing lines other than Golden Boot and even I know it's a long shot for the Egyptian to win that without 2 of his Liverpool Tremendous Three with him.

^  We already did.  They're all talk, no action.  Grin  Anyway I have some side bets offered in Joca97's thread   https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fifa-world-cup-winnerplayer-of-the-tournament-who-do-you-got-4409609

It's open to anybody who's in the FIFA WC betting pool too.  Anybody want in?  Grin

I checked your bet a bit and will probably take you on it or slightly different one if you are interested. What odds would you give me for Griezman? Neymar or Messi will probably outscore him but I would like to take him if you offer fair odds.

It's pretty much a coin flip between Messi and Griezmann with the latter as a (very) slight favorite.  I'm looking at the latest odds at Pinnacle right now (Nitrogen doesn't work on my tablet):  https://www.pinnacle.com/en/odds/specials/soccer/fifa-world-cup

Last time I checked it was very close with Messi vs Neymar.

Wanna go for it?  Messi vs Griezmann?  G is a nice pick btw...  I regret not thinking about him.  I went for the obv choice.  Lol.

Ok. Fair enough. Let's go for it, in the bookie I checked Messi was a slight favorite.
Couple of rules for the bet, add something if I missed it:
1. We look to official FIFA page for number of goals scored (in case of some funny situation where it is unclear who scored the goal)
2. The bet is void if Messi & Griezmann score same amount of goals (sometimes FIFA proclaims the winner based on some obscure rule like who scored first or last, we will ignore that).
3. Amount? I will let you pick that one. I saw you said from 10-25$. I am ok with anything between 10-50$. I would prefer if we make a bet in BTC comparative, that way it is also sort of small crypto investment but if you have problem with that we can leave it in $.
4. And of course I pick Griezmann and Messi is your choice. If you want to change it to Neymar, please do because I believe Messi will outscore Neymar for sure Smiley

Quoting that^ and confirming that I agree to the rules.  Since you could go up to 50 USD then let's go to 50 USD.  But I prefer to leave it in USD...  We wouldn't have to deal with the volatility.  It would suck to agree with something like .007 and see BTC go to 15K USD the next month.  Lol.

Anyway quote this reply and it's on.

This is gonna be Messi's WC!  I can feel it!  Grin


Ok. The bet is on for 50$ (payed in BTC after bet concludes) on h2h between Messi & Grizmann for who will score more goals (not be the golden boot because maybe Neymar wins golden boot and still our bet is valid).

After yesterday performance from France I am not so sure in Grizmann but I will just hope it was a bad day in the office Smiley Good luck and may the better tipster win our bet.


To all other guys reading this, sorry for stealing the thread for few posts. Waiting for BTC deposit address for world cup pool.
