No problem mate, I don't mind having extra money on the account Smiley Much better to have extra payments and not know who made them than missing payments.

Finally fellow Brazilian supporter, I got sick of all those La Celeste supporters Smiley I am actually leaning towards Colombia a bit more but Brazil is my second choice. That being said I don't like them moving Copa to Brazil. They should have picked some country where it can be played with supporters. I believe southern USA states would have been a good compromise in this covid times and another boost to football popularity in USA.

Well, moving Copa America to Brazil is really going to make things more spicy. But on the other hand, this thing means that games will be played without spectators. Covid situation in Brazil is one of the worst in the world and from what I saw, now Brazil Serie A clubs are playing in empty stadiums. So, I think that moving tournament to USA would be much better decision.

Copa America will move to Brazil https://twitter.com/CONMEBOL/status/1399366306944651264  (glad the whole thing about moving the tourney to the USA was just smoke)
On the one hand, for the fans of the Brazilian national team, this is good news ... but two weeks to prepare for the tournament seem unrealistic to me, (not to mention the fact that there is covid in full swing).

I have sent PM's to all paid participants who notified me up to now. If I missed you or you don't see your name in OP, let me know. [...]
I apologize for the delay in answering, but I just forgot to inform you that the registration fee was paid ...

and people from argentina are fuming right now lol  Grin not only because they won't see their NT playing in their home ground, but, to those who don't remember: 2019 Copa America, after losing to Brazil in the semifinal, Messi explicitly said that the refs were biased towards brazil and the whole tournament was fixed so that Brazil would win it, he also said the Conmebol is full corruption

this is gonna be a spicy copa america  Smiley
It will be spicy for sure. Probably there is a lot of some truth in Messi claim but even if there weren't they would complain about this decision for sure. Just hope football will manage to be main story and not some behind the scenes decisions or bad referee decisions.

We are collecting players nicely, 6 have paid already and I am sure we will reach more than 10 soon, expecting about 15, 20 would be a stretch probably Smiley



I have sent PM's to all paid participants who notified me up to now. If I missed you or you don't see your name in OP, let me know. Sponsorship money has arrived to the addy as well. Please remember to send me your Sportsbet and Superbru name in the PM, otherwise don't complain if you miss out on free bet  Wink

Hi Trofo i sent u pm to join but i forgot to tell you my favorite team,
I also cheering for Uruguay, i think everyone wants them to win is because they always shine in this competition.
as they are leading in the alltime winners with 15 titles followed by Argentina 14 titles and  Brazil with 9.
i see them favorites to win because it could be the last time that for Cavani and Suarez to help their county winning one more trophy despite they are still firing all cylinders.
other contenders like Brazil and Argentina on paper they have better chances but they are not very convincing sometimes.

Edit: what' s up with all this Uruguay supporting? I expected to see Brazil and Argentina supporters and then all our early birds went for Uruguay Smiley I guess Suarez and Cavani have a good chance to open any defense even if they have a lot of years on their back.
 
I also like Uruguay. I felt in love with this team in 2010 World Cup. I remember that Diego Forlan was amazing then. And that 1/4 final with Ghana was one of the most memorable games I ever saw. Suarez handball on last minute and missed penalty by Gyan. I also feel sympathy for Uruguay because it's small country with little population - underdogs against Brazil or Argentina.
I think I'm going to pay fee later today when I will be at home. And it's nice sponsorship deal with Sportsbet.io you got @Trofo Wink.

actually, for me it is Forlan time that draws me to Urugvay, and I when sign up to cheer for some team, it is usually long-term commitment Smiley (shit, I am still Auxxere fan, and rarely follow Ligue1)
for Brasil and Argentina, I was up to Brasil since 90-ties, but more recently, it is equal, do not have any preference between the two

regarding third part of the competition, since there are two groups on the Copa, maybe guessing number of goals per group in group stage could be nice to have (player/team to have highest number of goals on the competition could be everyone guessing the same)
Per sponsorship deal we will get additional free bet on weekly basis awarded to winner of that mini competition. So it is only logical that we have a winner once per week. Idea is good but I'll have to check when the games are finishing to see if it is feasible. I will probably lean towards something with shorter time frame.

that's way too much. I sent a tx earlier today with 40 sats fee, like 3 bucks, and got confirmed in 1 hour  Smiley  you could go as low as 5-10 sats and it'll get confirmed within 24h or so

agree, just sent a fee for the pool, with 3 sats, and it is expected to be confirmed within next block
if you are planning to join the competition, it is probably the best time to pay the fee

@Trofo, I will send you PM as soon as the transaction is confirmed, good to be in, and you managed to get nice sponsorship and prizes (sent you a PM)

You'll do anything to drag me into another pool, won't you? Grin
What can I say, I love playing against local guys which I can beat and then gloat when we meet for beer. big_daddy is not fun since he always kicks our ass Smiley


I have created the pool on Superbru and you will get link for joining after sending the the buy in money. Please remember to send me your Sportsbet username (to award free bet) and Superbru username (I have to manually confirm you to pool) in the same PM with tx confirmation. You can also send me the name of your favorite team on the Copa to add a bit flair - check the table in the OP. I'll keep Sportsbet username private and other information will be publicly displayed in the OP.

I am already in the pool since I created the pool even though I did not pay, privileges of being captain Smiley Don't worry I'll pay same as everybody else just waiting to pool some transactions end eliminate extra fees.

If I forgot something or you have some extra questions let me know guys. Now is the time to make this the best pool ever on this forum.

By all means try to pool transactions. It helps now to save some money and it also helps to lower the amount of inputs when I dish out the prizes. Easy way to cut transaction costs in half if you are playing both this pool and EURO pool is that you pair up with the buddy and one of you pays fees for both of you in Copa and the other one pays fees for both of you in Euro. I'll probably do it that way with cryptofrka.

If some you have extra chips on SwC poker site I'll take 1000 and pay buy in for you Smiley Need some money there and P2P transfers are free there.

If you end up paying for your tx just send it cheap and turn on "replace by fee" option. You wait for it to confirm and if it doesn't you raise the fee when date gets near.

Ok, count me in here as well. I see the rewards really are great, my only downside is that outside of the top 4 teams I probably don't know more than 3 players per team.
At least I'll follow Copa this season then, I usually skip it until the semifinals.

@Trofo  


good job
Will send my tx/username over the weekend

At the moment, the transaction fees appear to be around $ 12 ... or 33% of the transfer amount.

Don't think that is true. I sent BTC twice today and paid each transaction about 1.5$ and they confirmed inside 3 blocks.

But we can of course do something like you suggested and lower it even more.
Then there is no problem ... I will check the details a little later, but I only said what I saw [https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactionfees.html#3m]

USDT or BTC (TRC20) would be better alternatives but the fees will remain inevitable when the need to convert to mainnet arrives... The best to do now is to send with the lowest (reasonable) fee that you can afford, the competition doesn't underway until mid June which is enough time for it to get confirmed, provided you'll not be needing to make another transaction from the same input/ouput.

Yes, perhaps of all the options discussed, this one looks the most reasonable [in case of high transaction fees].

USDT or BTC (TRC20) would be better alternatives but the fees will remain inevitable when the need to convert to mainnet arrives...
It seems to me that this is not such a significant problem, given that in this situation, the conversion will need to be performed only once.

At the moment, the transaction fees appear to be around $ 12 ... or 33% of the transfer amount. Therefore, I would like to inquire whether payment in USDT or BTC (TRC20)  is accepted? Or we can do it differently ... someone of us who is ready to accept USDT from several people in the end will just make 1 transfer to Trofo's address, (I just want to say that I would rather put that $ 10 in a common pool or tip someone, rather than waste it on a commission).

^ @Trofo, you did a great job in securing sponsorship for our pool!

With a prize pool of around 30-40mbtc, a bunch of free bets and whatnot, $35 entry fee is nothing imo! It will be awesome if we get at least 15+ participants.

I've already paid and sent you the txid / Sb username via pm.


In all likelihood, Copa America will remain in Argentina, despite speculations for it to be moved to the United States:

"Argentina presents a “strict protocol” to CONMEBOL to host 2021 Copa America"
source: https://mundoalbiceleste.com/2021/05/27/argentina-presents-a-strict-protocol-to-conmebol-to-host-copa-america-2021/

Quote
The Argentine government presented a strict protocol to CONMEBOL for the realization of Copa America 2021, to be held in the country. In a meeting that took place at the Quinta de Olivos, the organizational and logistical aspects were evaluated -with the eventual authorization of additional venue’s- and everything concerning the sanitary protocols.

The analysis of this CONMEBOL Copa America and its sanitary protocols, so that it can be organized in the country, will remain under the rigorous study of officials of the Ministry of Health of the República Argentina. This was agreed by the President of the República Argentina, Alberto Fernández, and the head of CONMEBOL, Alejandro Domínguez.
