Nice! Bigger prizes than last season Cool

good job, @Trofo, and thx again for the sponsorship @buwaytress 👍

anyway, this international break came in clutch for Barcelona, no? 2 weeks to cool down a bit, plenty of time to try to figure out again just wth is going on...but, is it gonna the calm before the storm?

Quote from: Harkorede on October 03, 2021, 04:46:40 AM

It is a though most people from the pool went with Atletico to win, which obviously was an easy decision since only 3 people went other way.

one of them had 1-4 Barcelona...damn!! Grin

Prizes for this season:

We have 62 mBTC (40 mBTC Sportsbet sponsorship + 5 buwaytress sponsorship + 17x1 mBTC buy in fee) in the pool, I decided to award first 4 places and best yellow cap this season.
1. place - 27 mBTC (minus tx fees)
2. place - 15 mBTC
3. place - 10 mBTC
4. place - 5 mBTC
Highest yellow cap - 5 mBTC

Remarks:
*There is no sharing of the prizes, Superbru has implemented tie breakers and I will use their final table as basis to pay out rewards
*All transaction fees will be paid out from first prize. I boosted this one with extra 2mBTC when compered to Serie A thread so it seemed like most fair solution.

No, no, it was less than 50$ per person and rest is Sponsorship money, buy in was 1 mBTC, not sure what was BTC then but it was probably around 40k. You gave 5 mBTC sponsorship money into the pool and Sportsbet gave very generous 40 mBTC. We have 17 participants per 1 mBTC so that gives following pool:
40 (Sportsbet) + 5 (buwaytress) + 17 (all participants) = 62 mBTC ~ little less than 3000$ at the moment.
That is the beauty of blockchain, I can check what happened very easy and so can all of you. Granted it is even easier for me since I labeled the transactions as they were coming.

Really can't believe there is not at least 50 players here. When you also add the chance to win 1 mBTC free bet every week and 0.5 mBTC participating free bet that everyone got, value proposition is through the roof.

There is very similar calculation for Serie A, just 2 mBTC less since we have 2 participants more here.

Thanks man. Blame my Sunday memory, back of my head I knew about the sponsorship money, but my brain somehow computed the $3000 as participants' fees.

17 players, 3/4 prize spots.
Half of fee returned as Freebets.
Weekly freebets where chances are you get 2 throughout the season if you're really poor.
150%++ of fee as sponsorship money.

These pools are by far the best value, we need to talk about them often, and especially end of the next season in the regular La Liga/Serie A threads to get even more people playing. I know there are fewer gamblers than the forum discussion threads suggest but yeah, still strange to get only this few people.

I have no preferences, but remind me if I haven't paid up for anything (my PMs are a maze right now).

Effing hell, $3000 per pool, I didn't realise it was that much. What was the fee each again? 15 participants means about $200 each??

Was this the last game for Koeman at Barcelona ? We keep hearing this for 2 weeks now and nothing happens because lets be honest , who could replace him right now ? Maybe a top coach from LaLiga that most of us did not hear of him but he is doing a great job on certain teams. Another issue might be that maybe barcelona doesn't have the necessary funds to replace Koeman right now ...this might be possible if he is still coach tomorrow.

Probably, If whatever the President said a few days was supposed to believed but I'm looking to see when team comes battling for a spot in Europe (after being eliminated in the champions league during the group stages), or maybe when the El Classico turn out to be another humiliating game for the history of Barcelona.

The team looks worse with every match, players are also reading all those articles and i am sure they are not 100% behind Koeman. Horrible situation for all involved parties. Probably making a lot of people in Madrid very happy though

Yeah, they're not even the team I support, or really like a lot, but no one wants to see this happen to a club, who's given us so much great memories past and recent past. And of course Madrid is happy, I'm smiling whenever Manchester (both) has big issues Tongue

The deadline has passed and I am not accepting new participants any more. We actually almost had another participant just few days ago but it seems he decided to wait for next season. I'll take some time tomorrow and work out exact rewards amounts now that our pot is final. I am still undecided if it is better to reward first 3 places with higher amounts or drop the amounts a little and add reward for 4th place as well. If you have preferences you have about 12 hours to let me know. We have 0.062 in the pot for La Liga and 0.06 for Serie A (almost 3000$ per pool). I think that is enough to reward 4 places + highest yellow cap this year.

Shame about the almost-guy. I have no preferences, but remind me if I haven't paid up for anything (my PMs are a maze right now).

how often have you always heard these confessional statements about how you stand behind the coach... i think, as I wrote 2-3 weeks ago, that RK will be dismissed in december at the latest and then today's words of boss Laporta are already forgotten again

Farce, like Trofo says. I usually get pretty disgusted anyway by all of this politicking, but this particular series of nonsense takes football club management to a whole different dimension of circus.

The writing had been on the wall—at least in the media—Ronald Koeman's days as FC Barcelona's head coach were counted. But now Barça boss Joan Laporta has strengthened Koeman's position at the club. "No matter the result, Koeman will remain coach," Laporta said ahead of the game against champions Atlético Madrid to reporters (cited by Barcawelt).

"Koeman will stay" said FC Barcelona's president earlier today...

Koeman really didn't want to be around anymore judging from his last press conference. Worst feeling in the world, when you're still on the payroll because it's more expensive to fire you than to keep you. I really feel for you Barca fans.

This is really becoming a farce. They need to find solution and fast. The team looks worse with every match, players are also reading all those articles and i am sure they are not 100% behind Koeman.

Personally I think that this time Griezmann will destroy us.

It's a matter of pride for him and Suarez to do just that. I feel more and more idiotic now placing that Barca bet ha ha.

Who else is thinking about making the idiot bet on Barca? I actually saw it at over 5/1 at one point, but now more like 45/10. I might end up pulling the trigger closer to the game, but if they let in a goal first, they'll crumble like they have the last few games.

Barca moneyline is just a donation button to the bookie...imo, if you''re feeling confident about Barca, asian handicap 0 or +0.5 is the way to go

I wonder for how long Koeman would stay even when it's become obvious that's his tactics or so called plan isn't working. I really don't know what to expect from Barcelona so I'm definitely not coming close to the game (bet wise), I'll just be watching with utter disgust for Koeman being on the sideline.

Atletico have not be up and running with their defensive abilities which had been the core component of their success over the years, I'd expect goals at both ends, except of course if Koeman have other plans.

You all know which match I'd be watching if I could. But it's 3 am starting and I have a shift so maybe it's good for my health. No Messi to shake hands with Suarez, I still haven't got over the shock of Barca's downfall.

P.S. I just realised I haven't been playing the special side bets, and I noticed quite a few of you haven't also, so here's my reminder to check out Trofo's ongoing challenge thread;)

Do you ever doubt me betting on my team?

And thanks for the reminder. I will go and put in my picks now. I have so many reminders about so many things it's hard but I should make it a point to not miss out this!

Went for a tight home win on the early game, I know Rayo's been tearing up the league lately but this is my "return to mean" picks. So far so good on the stats at half time -- 3 yellows for the away team, something's got to give. Need to do a little bit better here to improve on Top 5!

@Trofo, seems that only @rdbase decided to go against majority and this time majority were right. Athletic win wasn't easy and Inaki Williams achieved impressive La Liga record with 203 appearances in a row. He haven't missed any single game since 2016 April. Or 4,5 years without missing game for injuries or yellow/red cards. Wow!

i have a feeling Suarez is gonna score a hat-trick or he's gonna be the MVP with goal+assist or something like that...this has to be his match, it's gotta be Suarez the one who puts the final nail in the coffin and koeman finally gets sacked...2-1 Atletico is my pick

btw, latest rumours say that Pirlo could be the next manager lol and this one came out just recently: "Laporta wants Tuchel in 2022" Roll Eyes

source: Mundo Deportivo (spanish newspaper)

Personally I think that this time Griezmann will destroy us.
Tuchel sounds good, but I doubt that he is likely option. I don't see any reasons why successful manager would want to got to current Barca. If Pirlo is an option, I'd rather stay with Koeman lol Cheesy

.

Sure Laporta wants Tuchel and I want to win the lottery. Chances are about the same, even though I don't play lottery Grin

Yeaf right, Tuchel is interested to leave one of the top clubs in the world playing in the best league with the budget only surpassed by PSG and maybe City for a club with tons of debt where nothing works as it should playing in the league that is loosing it's major stars. And probably for a quarter of the wages he has now. While he is at it maybe he could also check Guardiola or Klopp, I am sure they are dying for a chance to take control of this Barca.

That Inaki record is incredible, just shows how well prepared he is.

Atletico Bilbao playing home against Alaves.

yeah, I expect consensus in the pool regarding home win, it will be difference regarding results, from 1:0 to 2:1, maybe someone would put 3:1 and that is it
Bilbao is strong at home, but I would certainly skip betting on this match, due to Friday night and usual surprises at Friday night

Now when we all praised Bilbao here we will have unanimus outcomes in Superbru, here is a good chance for laggers to try and capitalize on upset Grin

Some great games during weekend. I am also expecting atletico to win over Barca. Much better form at the moment. Quite possibly we will see goals from both Suarez and Griezmann.

We have a game tomorrow.
Atletico Bilbao playing home against Alaves.
The game starts in less then 20hrs from now so get your predictions in.
Alaves just enjoyed their first points that came against Atletico Madrid with a win while bilbao have now 10 points from 7 game.
Scoring 6 in them and conceded 4.
For this match it feels like it's going to be a home win for Bilbao and I don’t think we are going to see a lot of goals here as Alaves looking to get a draw from this match.
So more likely to be 1-0 or 2-0.
