wanted to show you a very nice caricature showing the comparison of what L. Messi won with fc barcelona and what he won with the argentine national team

A good comparison, but when it comes to club and national team careers, Messi isn't the only one worth mentioning. Not to mention the fact that Argentina's national team has not won the A'Cup for 26 years ... and God knows how long has passed since the W'Cup was won. I mean, since 2005, Messi won the trophy for the first time playing for the national team, playing 150 matches while Maradona played 90 matches and won twice the W'Cup and twice the A'Cup. Tongue

i am sure that winning the copa has a very very high value for him and he is finally happy to have won a title with the national team as well
it was the same with CR7 when he won the euro with portugal in 2016

Looking forward to more of these pools, there will be a month until we get leagues starting again so plenty of time to organise new pools.

Don't worry there will be pools for next season as well. I will be running La Liga and Serie A like last season, already started talking with some sponsors and I plan to take the pools online in a week or two. There will also be Premier League and Champions League pools for sure. That should be enough even for most degenerate gamblers.

Term degenerate gamblers is used with positive stance here and I include myself among them

Well, firstly, despite the fact that my favorite was the Brazilian national team, I am happy for Argentina, since they really have not won for a long time. I also join in congratulations ... although a little sad, because I also scored the same points as MoSala, but it turned out to be even more ridiculous that we both blindly made the same predictions, so in any case, I would not have been able to overtake him.

Congrats for the winners, I was far behind in this pool since day one.
I didn't make even make my prediction in the last match didn't matter anyway because I would chosen Brazil to win,
But atleast I win in the grand prize in the Final Competitions that was equal to 3rd place finish so I would like to thank Sportbet and Trofo for Organising and making this pool fun with the free bets and giving more them half of the pools pot,

Payments have been sent to the winners. I used a fee on lower end so it could take some time but it should confirm latest during the night. We had one user joining late so I had 1 mBTC more to work with which resulted with some extra dust for 2nd and 3rd place a full prize for first place (no tx fee).

And I got hell of a lucky, tx confirmed inside first block while I was writing this Grin

Seems I picked right mining pool to accelerate it. Side contest prizes should be paid out tomorrow.

I confirm! I received the rewards! Mega thanks

I'll start grading our complimentary competition now.

Congratulations to @darxiaomi & @vd309, both of you played well man.

I’m so grateful for @Trofo's contribution, to say thank you is not enough, where we could not participate in the free bet competition regularly due to our personal work but @Trofo has taken a lot of pressure to manage our pool+free bet competition. I'm waiting to join with new pool organized by you.

Thank you @Steve and Sportsbet for sponsoring our pool and giving us a lot of free bets (though I missed it last time).

Thank you, everyone, all of you have made this competition neat and clean, we didn't have much of a difference between each other's points, everyone played well.

Finally the missing piece for Lionel Messi after heartbreaks on four other different occasions, I don't know what else he could have done should he have lost this one again... The game wasn't an all entertaining one but the nerves were really high in the last 15 minutes.

Congratulations to all winners! and Special kudos to Sportsbet for the host and goodies, then Trofo for organizing this in such a smooth fashion see you all in the next comp right ?

If you need help on the side for calculating and maintaining, we'll do our best, but I think you're doing great. These things to take time to take hold, but I think perseverance is key;)

You offered now go into the other thread and confirm my calculations or tell me if I screwed something up

I don't mind doing it especially when reward is 1 mBTC, if I make a mistake I can easily just pay out from my pocket but when it is 20 mBTC on the line like today better somebody double check before I contact Sportsbet.

I am really feeling bad for not watching the COPA final, but I decided to get my beuty sleep and watch Wimbledon final and EURO final today.

Thanks guys, means a lot since it takes some time, coordination and responsibility to pull it off. It is very easy and I love to do it when I have the time but then comes the day when competition ends and I have to grade it and of course it is the busiest day in the week for me

Planing to do same with the La Liga and Serie A competitions next seasons.

@buwaytress, hope you will get well soon man

I'll try to rustle up my side of things too, to pad up what SB may offer, and make it even more worthwhile for people... just a bit tough getting things up to speed, but yeah, it'd be so cool to see these competitions look similar, with side games going on for participants. If you need help on the side for calculating and maintaining, we'll do our best, but I think you're doing great. These things to take time to take hold, but I think perseverance is key;)

@toma there's definitely a lot of poetry in Latin America, and sadly, more tragedy than joy, everything seems to be bittersweet even with victories involved. Just seeing the pics from the win was good for me though, and yeah the game seemed pretty shit itself otherwise.

And I know it's because they didn't start Bobby, Alisson and Fabs -- Tite made a wrong call there;)

Thanks for the pool again Steve and Trofo, and well done to all you winners. Nice to see new names! As predicted, I end up bottom of the pile, but hey, I did well in the final side competition when I actually bothered making a pick, didn't I? Wink

I'm so happy for Messi that he finally won trophy with his national team. Though, it wasn't good game for him and whole tournament was nothing special for him. That Di Maria goal - what a pass by Rodrigo de Paul!
And final game wasn't most exciting. Dirty football, lot of fouls and yellow cards. But it was difficult to expect something different.
Congrats to our pool winners - @darbit, @SwordsRex and @MoSala.

Neymar. Burst out crying after the final whistle. Crushed. One of Brazil's most devastating defeats in their history

I think that Maracanzo in 1950 or 7:1 to Germany in 2014 was more painful, but yeah, it hurts to lose final in home soil against main rival.

We have a total of 15 participants which gives us 15 mBTC in the pot + 20 mBTC from our sponsor Sportsbet. That gives us a total of 35 mBTC to dish out for rewards. Rewards will be paid out as follows:
1. Place - 20 mBTC
2. Place - 10 mBTC
3. Place - 5 mBTC

*All transaction fees will be paid out from 1. place reward since it is slightly bigger then I intended initially (55% of the pot)
** There will be no sharing of the prizes, prizes will be paid out as per Superbru ranking. Even if 2 participants have same points, Superbru has some tie breakers implemented so the prize goes to the participant that is listed first.

Congrats to the winners, send me your BTC addresses and you will get your deserved rewards. Damn, we "regulars" got our asses handed to us, will have to be better next time around.

Argentina wins its first major trophy in almost 30 years. Against no other than Brazil in Maracana. 3rd most important win for them after the 2 WC

For the first time in my life, I've seen Argentina win an international title. I am happy because Messi has won the trophy. At least no one would refuse to call him a legend for the trophy anymore.

Messi's first big win with the NT. Crying of happiness on the pitch. Legendary

This is the biggest victory of Messi's life for his country. Messi has done well in all the past Copa America matches but today he has missed a lot of shots. Maybe it's because of his extra stress. But I feel bad for Neymar, he tried hard to make a goal, Argentine defenders have repeatedly resisted him.

A bit more than 30 minutes left until final and I still haven't fall asleep Cheesy

. I haven't saw many games of Copa, but I simply can't miss such final. It's great to see that there will be some fans in stadium. No doubts that I'm rooting for Argentina in this final, I hope that Messi will win his first major international trophy with Argentina.

Quote from: tomahawk9 on July 10, 2021, 08:56:46 AM

man, the amount of ppl who missed out on the free bets competitions is crazy, not sure if they didn't know or simply didn't care. Either way, bump in prizes for the last competiton is pretty hefty (thank u Steve and SB), let's see if they show up tonight. Btw, great job organizing every competition, Trofo 👍

I missed it myself several times. I simply thought that I will leave my predictions later and when I remembered about it, games was already in play. Really appreciate what Trofo and Steve have done.
Speaking about our pool, everyone is so close to each other, but situation can't be different when there is so few games in tournament.

Screw that last minute Colombia goal. I had a draw in our pool and expected big things, now I am out of the paid places for the first since beginning with just one game to go on.

Working on challenges now, should be up in half an hour tops.

@Trofo I've thrown in my hat in this final one;) Thanks for organising this and I think it was a great idea to open it only for pool participants!

@toma: yeah I missed out on all the past ones, as seriously have been so busy and/or sick with work and study, really bad last 6 weeks, every time I reminded myself, I forgot (plus the games come on so late!) but not missing this final one;) If I can risk my health, I'll sleep early and wake up too, I mean, 3 Liverpool players plus Messi on the same pitch, the last time that happened, was one of my happiest memories;)

Trofo: you're the best.

good luck today everyone. Top 3 in our pool is still possible for at least 10 users i think, although most of us are gonna need those at the top of the leaderboard to mess up their last prediction tonight

It's been a very close contest, although I'm practically out of the first few spots and would need a miracle to claim one.

Quote from: tomahawk9 on July 10, 2021, 08:56:46 AM

game is a must-watch, no way i'm gonna miss it (:

This is a match I wouldn't want to miss either, but I'm yet to be able to watch one game live all tournament long, the tournament isn't aired in my country and I've tried to stream online a couple of times but couldn't find one, all I get is this endless ads links after clicking.
