Topic: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ COPA America ⚽ Prediction Pool Discussion Thread - page 10. (Read 2247 times)

I think I participated in the last Copa America pool, but I'm definitely in on this either, It's always terrible for me though, as I'll always back Argentina to go all the way and every time it's just the same old story 😏

Since all leagues will be over, 10 participants should be an easy reach, I suppose.

Made some good calls in last one and yeah, anything to fill ke in while wallowing in the misery of pre season so count me in.

Suarez and Messi probably still going to give this a go. Uruguay gave quite good value in qualifications maybe a nice outright. Chile probably a decent run. But let's see what the bookies think.

You can count me in! I might need to secure another monitor or tv, i think we will have matches from Euro overlapping with the some of early Copa America matches, 24 hours of football for about a month. Bring it! 

I'm okay with whatever the entry fee is, hopefully, we get at least 10 to join.


I took the courtesy to DM them on Twitter and ask them if they are going to have a predictor game for 2021 Copa America, this was their response:

Let's make it to that 10 participants and then we are fine. I would hate it if I had to drop it after securing sponsorship
It is already 3 of us and I expect at least a couple more regulars to join us.

Superbru usually adds stuff about a week before it starts. I am 99.9% sure it will be there. If not we will find some other solution. It was on Superbru last few editions and Superbru is just adding tournaments not removing them.

could not say that I am thrilled to participate in the pool, but you can count me in if there is at least 10 participants (or nine + me) - presume that you will not organize this one at all without 10 participants, or we could play just for fun in that case

how do you plan to follow scores, did not saw Copa America on Superbru?

Copa America is starting on 13th June, so about a month for now, actually same day EURO starts. There was some interest about having prediction pool for this competition and I decided to start it. It will be organized same as previous pools run by me so if you were a part of La Liga pool or Serie A pool you know how it works. No need to read further just participate! For new comers go check those pools to see how much fun they are, and how big rewards we are dishing out thanks to BTC price action.

COPA is played in two groups, one in Argentina and one in Colombia, final games will be played in Colombia. 4 teams are progressing from each group so I am expecting a lot of strange results in group stage. Home teams should do well since first 2 teams from each group get to stay in the country while 3rd and 4th are having to move camps.

Sporsbet Sponsorship:
Big thanks to Sportsbet for sponsoring our pool this year, the deal includes:
1. 20 mBTC boost to our pot (over 700$ at the moment)
2. 0.5 mBTC free bet on sportsbet.io for every participant (you have to let me know your sportsbet username and have account on sportsbet to collect)
3. Free bets for our weekly competitions, only for participants of the pool. More on this to come when the tournament starts.

How this pool works
For prediction we will use Superbru page and we will have complementary discussion topic here on the forum for participants only. Superbru has been around for years and they are very good at providing custom pools for all kinds of sports. The idea of the game is to predict correct scores from all the games which gives you max points (3). If you get outcome correct but not the score there is still some points awarded (1-1.5). The winner is the person with most points at the end of the season.

Buy in and prizes
Buy in for the pool is 1 mBTC = 0.001 BTC or little more than 35$ at the moment. A little bit more then usual but more then worth it since you get 0.5 mBTC free bet just for participating.
BTC address to send the funds:
1PUknW57jM21p5WnLCWqFcZw7n1QUUBK63

I will decide on prizes after we know final number of participants but it will be something like:
1. 55% of the pot
2. 30% of the pot
3. 15% of the pot
