^  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

Maybe we could advertise our pool a bit in the following topic: FIFA WORLD CUP 2018?. I saw few of you there as well so when we put our post maybe we can also put a line break and invitation to this topic?

Feel free to post about it in there. I usually remind people when I make a post in that thread but I don't think we've got any players interested from there yet. Same thing happened last year.

^  We already did.  They're all talk, no action. 

Exactly. They're happy to chat shit for sig campaign monies but aren't willing to put their money where their mouth is  Roll Eyes. Given the amount of so called tipsters and gamblers we apparently have here I thought people would be jumping at the chance to join the pools. It's pretty good value really and doesn't exactly break the bank, not to mention it's great fun (and for an entire month). Makes the tournament infinitely more enjoyable because you take an interest in every one of the games and can cheer on the outcomes. I'll probably send users the address for payment today so keep a look out for that.

Well I will send today at late night max if I receive the address as I will be out for a romantic dinner tonight, when I will be back I will make payment. And I am a tipster that love competition and so far in every competition I have taken place, in sportsbet.io I have won, in BBC premier league pool I have won, I hope to win something here too although I am realist and I know I start in disadvantage in International football. Hilarious please together with the address send us the league details that you will create.

500 pound pot collected in such a short amount of time, now we are talking and I think a few more people will join this pool until hilarious starts to collect money on Monday. It will be an interesting betting pool and I personally can't wait for it to start because if this is going to be like Premier League betting pool it will be a hell of a lot of fun to participate in it.

Lol. England don't have any world class players. Closest there is is Harry Kane but I feel a bit silly calling him world class for some reason. You really just can't compare him to your Messi and Ronaldos as he comes no where near. And the Premier League is only so great because of all the foreigners, hence why England never do very well internationally and I'd be surprised if they get past the round of 16.

I think there are some players in England who I do think they are world class or at least so they seemed in the beginning like Danny Wellback and Jammie Vardy together with Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford as they played well in these last 2 years of Premier. Anyway I will bet on England to win the world cup (if odd is good) so I would be surprised a lot if they don't get past the round of 16. This does not mean I will put England to win in the bracket challenge though, I like diversifying my bets and my plays.
England does have a good side but the odds of them winning the world cup aren't as good. I am very optimistic about Brazil and no doubt they have the maximum odds. The only thing I am worried about right now is Neymar's form. He has had a fractured foot for a long time and I do not know whether he would be at 100%.
Germany do not look like a good contender this year because they lack the attacking strength which they had last year. No wonder they lost 2-1 to Austria last week.

Danny Welbeck lol. People will have forgotten about Vardy in a few years time. Leicester will likely lose Mahrez and Casper pretty soon and then Vardy will probably follow suit and their team will fall apart. And Rashford could go on to be a new Rooney/Kane but he's no Neymar.

Sign me up for the World Cup £25 Cool

Cool. Prize pot should be £500 now assuming everyone pays. Hopefully we can squeeze in some more newcomers before the start.

Personally, I think that Kane is a world class player, but England don't have more big stars. And, how many players we can compare with Messi and Ronaldo? Smiley
Many foreign players in EPL is a problem for England national team. It's enough to see starting XI of top EPL teams and count how many English players there are. In Euro 2016 main players of England was from Totenham, Southampton and Liverpool - teams which didn't played in UCL back then and it tells a lot about current situation in English football

Even Messi and Ronaldo aside I still can't really put him up there. Let's see how he fares in the world cup.

Less than a week to go now people. Let's try get a few more users to bolster the prize pots. Only £25 to join and £500 to be won. I'll probably start collecting in the money on Monday so look out for that.

will you hilarious post a league like in Bbc predictor or with our registration to the fifa website we can post predictions there Huh


Yes.

Cool I am waiting for you to create the league then to post predictions, we are very near the FIFA World Cup so can't wait to start. I am not that experienced in International Football so I don't fight for any prize this time but to learn my way better in International Football and if I seem to do good I will start thinking about any prize.

I think nobody's an expert in Internationals especially when they play so infrequent so it's often hard to gauge and even teams full of world class players sometimes don't mesh together well.

England national team being the clearest example of players don't getting to play together well although there are world star players there and Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world.
