Topic: IPL Mutual Pool Discussion. - page 9. (Read 1943 times)

There is no points of playing any sports without sports enthusiast who go to stadium, playing in empty stadium won't make any sense. Don't think even BCCI will think to run IPL in empty stadium, like last time when Govt. told them they can't provide security so they move to South Africa.

Most probably Corona Virus impact will be very low beause of beginning of summer and schedule of IPL will go according to announcement.

IMO, Its small price if things go south. If i have to make wild guess then it shouldn't be more than 5-10% of IPL revenue, as BCCI revenue model based on TV rights. In BCCI point of view Play off ticket revenue goes to franchise anyway  , BCCI main concern should be Qualifier games, that's where they make shitload amount of money.

No one has any vaccine so far. 

Empty stadium and IPL?
I don't think it's going to happen and say there are matches in empty stadium then how are they going to make money from all the investment they made ?

And this Corona virus thing, still they don't have any medications?

Damn!

Gov and BCCI might have more clear position in this matter with in next week. So far BCCI following their usual routine of IPL preparation etc. Cancellation of complete tournament seems tough but i wouldn't be surprise if all matches are held in Empty stadium, better safe than sorry.

There is big chances that IPL can be cancel or postpone because of Corona Virus threat.

I have just seen the post from JSRAW in here and thought to bump this topic.

I will do a review guys and in the mean time if anyone interested then please comment.

Cheers,

Edit:
If I am missing anyone's name in the list here then please let me know.

You are fast, Was about to post it in T-20 thread but skipped it as i am still checking my fav team encounters. You should stop by here more often @FIFA worldcup.

You can find the detail official schedule of IPL here.
2020IPL_MATCH_SCHEDULE from 29 March to 17 May

It will help you to create the Pool at Superbru.

There was no entry fees for Previous pool (IPL and WC), they were open to everybody. Some perks as hanging out with other cricket fans and few drawback as well, such as small amount of prize and attracting fair amount of spammers. First IPL pool prize was sponsored by Royse and World Cup pool by Royse, Me, Pffrt and Ronnie ( Cloudbet - Free spins for Round winners).

Entry fees for upcoming IPL pool which is schedule in End March ( 28th march) is open to discussion and not fixed yet. So far 7 members are interested in Paid Pool (All amount is for Prize pool ) and i believe more members will join us in the conversation next month. if we reach close to 15 participants then we can say that job well done.




For mutual pools you don't need to register in superbru. superbru is for IPL or any ICC tournament only. As of now "Mutual betting pool" is for interested parties to bet among themselves here in Bitcointalk.


Match results only. Royce tried the multibet bet on the same match but that experiment kinda failed because no one won the single round ( Royse was bookie)


So far only 3 Market to chose in mutual pools: Regular over Win - Tie - Win so its simple opt for right one.


As far as i understand Mutual pools for single game are another experiment for Royse just to keep community engage and checking the waters. I with few members  supporting him by participating in every experiment. not much fun due to low number of participants but sometimes we get to rub each other face when someone lose, Okay experience i would say. if this mutual pool experiment fails in a longer run then he might come up with new one or not? Depends on him and community.

For big tournaments such as IPL and WC (We use Superbru for this) situation is completely different due to many reasons. Majority of users are into it so it brings best out of it, interesting analysis of different teams, players. Good betting tips are part of it. Pakistani and Indian fans bantering, Bitching, small prize money and so on..... Its fun in short.

Hey guys. Joining in on the discussion now. Thanks to JSRAW for pointing me to this thread. I haven't joined the TG yet as I am still getting the hang of this. I prefer that I get to know a little bit first before i just drop in and start asking noob questions. I think if i ask those noob questions here, it'd be helpful to others too.

I see that mutual betting threads started with the world cup and IPL and you guys would have wanted to have wider participation. It'd be great if we can lower the entry barrier in terms of information as well as entry fee in the beginning. As a newcomer to this, i feel i don't have enough direction. For example, I have no idea how mutual betting will work. I know i should start with registering the superbru app but it all feels too much self-navigation. I suggest that it'd be awesome if someone experienced can ELI5 things a bit for everyone. For example:

1. What is a mutual betting pool?
2. What do i place my bets on? Match results? Player rankings?
3. How do i win or lose?
4. Even if i don't care about winning or losing, whats the fun part in it?

Sorry if these questions sound like an imposition to someone, please rest assured, they are not. This is just an honest viewpoint from someone completely new to this but interested. I hope that this would also give the newbie's perspective to Royse and JSRAW who are leading the effort to build a community here.

Bump! (had a long break from me, let's awake it again)

Superbru is the best option like we did for IPL last year. Just checked in google, the tournament is starting from 20 Feb

Not sure if this is already on superbru however let me know if you will be able to find time to manage a thread for this event and also know the steps to create a pool in superbru.

Thanks for your support. I would like to start the PSL pool but sometimes i feel i won't be able to do justice with it because i am not online often as you are on this forum and it needs time which is difficult to manage with my offline activities. But this does not mean i am out of it , the idea is in back of my mind and lets see if i can bring it into reality.


Will you be starting a manual pool or a pool on Superbru  ?

People!
We have 7 members so far who are interested and have a price point in their mind. Bring it more!

@UmerIdrees, for PSL I can help you to get started with the pool if you want. I have seen in another thread you were interested to create a pool and I would like you to do that. Once you do things by yourself you learn the stuffs. Go on bud. I have your back. You have permission to use the format I use or to use any contents from my posts if you want.

Did you read my post properly? I mentioned "Current Price" which is why I was obviously referring to $7 - $15 and that is also why you need to get your eyes checked.

I agree, but the fact is that many gambling signature campaign members never actually gamble and only pretend to for obvious reasons which is why I think that the entry fee should not be too low. $7 - $15 seems right in my opinion.

Maybe a bit too early to make this thread IPL has more than 6 months but still I would like to join it. I think $5-$10 is enough. Problem is that IPL doesn't actually has that much craze on this forum so more or less we are those same 5-6 people who discuss cricket in ODI, TEST & T20 Threads. It's better to keep it low so other people could also join in.yeah 0.001 seems quite legit to me. It is around $7 and won't really hurt a lot of people.

An entry of 15$ to 30$ will be fine for me  Anything below 10$ will be too low IMHO, but I'll join irrespective of the fees if it's not above 30$.

I guess almost everyone who is active in cricket discussion is in a Signature Campaign, so I think it wouldn't hurt to pay a week's payout as an entry fee for the pool
Even though my Sig Campaign pay is less, I can afford up to 30$ for the fun

Agree with @deadley and @Haunebu that its bit early to talk about the IPL but IMO its doesn't hurt us to create little hype for IPL pool and its comes handy when there is some sort of participation fees because the last 2 pool (IPL and World Cup) were free to join.

Yeah you are right on your case but we have to keep our mind open that there might be some users who thinks 20 bucks are big amount to spend in some Inter-web cricket community (putting it respectfully) and rightly so because it depends on the individual budget or pocket. We have tiny community and i personally don't want any good user to left out only because of fees.

But fees are necessary to avoid sig-spam similar to "English Premier league Football"

Agreed!

That would be great, even if its for small amount.

0.001 to 0.002 BTC turns out to be between 7 - 15 dollars. If you are deciding the pool amount, make it count in dollars and not in terms of satoshi.
By the time IPL will start, that is about 3 - 4 months from now, the bitcoin price could be quite high with halving coming in June.  0.001 may well be between 17 -20$ at that time.

Lol. This thread surprised me too kinda like the Xbox Series X reveal yesterday since there is plenty of time left for the IPL. Anyway, count me in since I had a blast playing in the pool along with you guys the last time around.

I agree with this amount. Anything from 0.001 to 0.002 BTC(Current price) seems optimal in my opinion.

Well, big bash league may not be of much interest here. I did not know anyone who is from Australia here ?
But before the IPL, we have the PSL tournament which has two advantages. First most of the people have interest in it and secondly it's duration is shorter as compare to  IPL, so it will be good if we can have a PSL pool before the IPL one. But again it depends upon the Royse and people here who want this pool or not. (sometimes i feel i am too patriotic.. )
