For the past few years I've organised betting pools for the
English Premier League along with the
Champions League and
World Cup, and now it's time for the 2020/21 Premier League pool which will kick off on the 12th of September. This year's pool is sponsored by Sportsbet.io and they've generously donated 0.15 into the pot along with some other great prizes (see details of below), so thanks to both jeremypwr and Sportsbet for that.
We will again be using the
www.superbru.com website for predictions where you get 3 points for predicting an exact score, 1 point for a correct outcome (win/lose/draw) and 1.5 for a close prediction with correct outcome. Superbru is a free and easy to use site taking only a minute or two to register. You can change your scores right up until kick-off and you can even put your predictions in advance even for the entire season if you wanted to which is perfect if you think you might be away for the forum or not have a chance to make your predictions.
The price to join is 0.0045 in bitcoin and 100% of the money received is paid out between the winners. The total prizes will depend on how many people ultimately join, but based on 34 users joining at 0.0045 which will make the total pot a little over 0.3 the prizes will likely be as follows:
1st 0.1
2nd 0.05
3rd 0.04
4th 0.03
5th 0.02
6th 0.01
7th 0.01
8th 0.01
9th 0.01
10th 0.01
A little over 30 users joined last year's pool but I anticipate at least 40-50 users this year and hopefully maybe more. If many more users than that join I may increase the payout places to top 15 or so. However, I would also like to boost the above prizes a little as well to make it more competitive, but this will all be decided once users have finished signing up and the above prizes are likely the
minimum you can expect to be in with a chance of winning.
In addition to the prizes above Sportsbet are also offering a free Watford shirt to every player who signs up (assuming you want one and subject to stock). They will also be offering a $50 free bet to every 'yellow cap' of the weekly round which is the user that gets the most points in that week. Finally, the best prize they're offering is one lucky player will be in with the chance to win an all expenses paid trip to a football game of their choice*. How it will work is everyone who joins will be entered into a raffle. The number of raffle tickets you get will depend on your final place in the table at the end of the season, for example:
Assuming 50 players join:
1st place will win 50 raffle tickets
2nd Place 49 raffle tickets
3rd Place 48 raffle tickets, and so on with the player who finishes last in 50th getting 1 ticket.
This way everyone who joins has a chance to win but the better you do the better odds you get at winning. Please note: I am only responsible for paying out the cash prizes and all other prizes will be handled by jeremypwr and Sportsbet.
*Full terms and conditions of the football trip raffle will be released shortly before the pool stars.
To join this year's pool simply send 0.0045** to the following address: 1Lt6vyUjFbT8Nu1GYtwF6YRX4UJHziBoFJ or scan the QR Code:
Once you have done so please PM me the txid and I will send you the details of how to join.
** The price to join will likely remain the same, but if the price fluctuates by a great amount I may change it to be more around £40 in bitcoin which is the current value as of today.
