My comment wasn't targeted to those of you that manage your trust lists and leave feedback, it was more of a wake-up call to the majority that doesn't use this feature of a forum. I know I have been guilty of neglecting it way too often and I believe it brings a lot to that something that makes this forum stand up from all the rest. You don't need to leave me a trust rating or include me in your trust lists, but please do it for the people you actually trust and do business with.

Thank you for the payment. It was fast and smooth. I have also left my trust for you already. I'm quite satisfied with the way you are managing pools. It has been a long run and I finished in the 5th place. Next time I join, my target is going to be a higher finish than that.    Congrats on your big success jeremypwr. Enjoy your prize!

By the way I don't think that anyone is given money to manage a pool.

There's no need for that and I would be the first to complain if somebody took a percentage of rewards for running the superbru pool.

As I said, we (at least I am) are doing it for the community and we always take part, so better sponsorship means better rewards for us as well. Running a superbru pool isn't a lot of work. Only real risk we take is escrowing the money for rewards and the hassle of collecting all the payments.

I always assumed you guys get paid or have a small token for the gesture

Personally, I would agree that everyone who participates can agree that you guys should get a small fee for managing, at least to recognize that it's SOME effort to look for sponsorships. It's not just about asking. If most of us ask, we would probably get redtag for scam lol it's your reputation and trust that allows sponsors to agree, and us to benefit.

In this case, I would be more than happy to have 5% or even 10% increase of fee to go to you guys

I don't think anybody is getting paid for the pools. I know I am not  We are doing it for the love of the game and providing value to the forum.

BSFL is a different beast, there is much more work involved and no matter how much I like it I wouldn't be doing that for free.

Thanks everyone for the great time. I will leave some trust records also for sure, it's just I always thought the trust was supposed to be for people you traded with before where you sent money first. All my feedback is about this that I gave a lot of funds first, and the person honored their end, yes even Sportsbet since I deposit first lol. but I guess I didn't read about updates since years

All of you guys managing funds deserve recognition of trust. I hope you are all at least getting paid for it lol

Payment received!

Thanks you Trofo for all, i already have you in my trusted list. But i have to be more frecuent on give trust to some users.

Its not easy to be the guard of all the funds.

I have some ideas for next year i hope i receive some support from you guys!

This is a good reminder to everyone. Admittedly, I haven't been very good with updating my trust lists, but in general, I do try to remember to leave a feedback whenever users have gone through great lengths in either contributing to the forum, or keeping the space safe.

By hosting these interactive pools, they not only bring value to participation, they increase assurance and reputation of the forum as having actual people you can trust with (increasingly) large sums of money.

Thank you.
I confirm that payment reward from evil snake has received its destination safely.

Congratulations to amazing first place and all other winners, but nobody else from LaLiga competition didnt win reward and 22 place in leaderboard than me  
This lowest place reward win sounds even better when we know that there was total of 27 teams in this competition.
For new season I need new strategy.

What a crazy last round, for me it was thé hardest round to make thé right picks as every game was meaningless and it could have gone every way. Since there wasn't much separating 3rd position to the 10th position, it was anyone's chance to get into the paying spots. The last games were very intense for us on the paying positions as the rankings were changing throughout the round.
All in all it was very fun to be part of this pool, and a big thank  you to everyone who organized and sponsored this event, from Trofo to sportsbet.io.
Also congrats to Jeremy for kicking ass and all the other winners.

P.S. @Trofo Prize has been received already!! Thank you!!

Payment sent, enjoy it guys. Tx id: 488f636f24f822eedc3928b81ae05e1405d2abcbc424afbc3ebaf7725a526cd5

Was super happy managing this pool for another season. 4th in the row if I am not mistaken.

With that I have a small request. Take your time and leave trust ratings and customize your trust lists. Not asking just for myself but generally for all the people that are handling large amounts of money on regular basis and always delivering promptly. For instance just this year I could have walked with 0.3BTC just from these 2 pools. That is without all the other stuff I am handling   Temptations, temptations, but I am staying for bragging rights 

I am also guilty of this and sometimes I took some members for granted, plan to rectify it in the upcoming months as much as possible.

Another wonderfull season ended, what to say.... it was nearby to a bad joke winning the alst round hahaha.

I was in third position until the last 3/4 round asides of this one , wehre i collect no points basically, but i wake up just in time to take the last paid spot.

Thanks as always to SB, STeve, Jeremy and Trofo to make this possible and to all of us for become part of ti. Congratulations to the other winners.

So, I was just 1 point away from 6th place, damn. Needed one more goal from Barcelona to get exact score and that my opponent wouldn't get it. At least got shared prize for highest yellow cap. Congrats to all guys who ended in prize spots and winner @jeremypwr who didn't left chance for anyone
Few words about last round. It's impressive how Dovbyk took top scorer title from Sorloth by scoring hattrick on last round. And Almeria said goodbye to La Liga in style by winning 6:1 against Cadiz.
Trofo and Sportsbet, thank you for another season!

Well done jeremypwr. #2 GLOBALLY!!


Yes, it is one big soap opera as I can remember, the last time we were truly together as a family was during MSN times. And not to discredit Laporta but him leaving was actually good, then somehow as soon as Neymar left, it started to fall apart not because of the player but just the way finances and the club getting run, and then the Suarez exit was the biggest sign of what kind of club we were becoming. Then Laporta comes back. Then Messi shameful exit.

It is not easy for exact problem solving but I think first, you cannot have a politician and a lawyer also leading the club. That means 3 jobs, and each will be crossing over and sacrificing, of course the football club is the one that gives up the most. That's why our club paid corruption fees and bribes, because you had politician leading the club, and you have politician leading Spanish refereeing!! I like Spain and La Liga but this mixing of politics with football is the worse MF shit thing in the world.

Bayern issues are corruption and scandal too, true, and Manchester United from the start was owners who use the club as a business purely for profit and banking. But no way same the kind of scandal Barcelona are in.

Real Madrid president also problematic but at least he is not in Spanish politics. He's a businessman, that's normal And so he knows how to run Real's finances, very good!

Barca has some same issues at the surface. Players with "power" and high wages. The easiest to fix is finance. If you are a millionaire and you become bankrupt, you cannot say I want to continue eating steak every day, you must learn to eat rice lol so we need to stop hiring Lewandowskis we must focus on youth, fix our finances. Politicians make the worst financial managers. Hence our situation.

Thanks a lot @Trofo. Will be sending you my address later today.

Congrats @jeremypwr for winning the pool. Sick picks all season, extremly well done bro.

When I look at Barcelona from afar (in the sense of not just one season, but several), they remind me of United (and Bayern is now also following a parallel course like Barcelona, but with a lag of a couple of years). The clubs (Barcelona and Bayern) really need changes, and not at the level of coaches, but at the level of management/business model (to be honest, I can’t say exactly what is needed specifically), I saw how United was slowly sliding into nowhere and all this was accompanied by some kind of scandals vanity and nonsense and now the same thing is happening with Barcelona/Bavaria.
I don’t even know what the roots of these processes are. Maybe bureaucracy (and therefore corruption) in management? But Real does better under the same conditions. Maybe it's a matter of personalities? Well then, taking into account Laporta’s many years of work at the club, we should blame him first of all.
In general, I don’t know anything, but the naked eye can see which clubs are developing and which are in a downtrend.

Today is the last day of our pool, been a pleasure guys, feel free to start sending me your BTC addresses for rewards here or in PM.

Using this more as a tag to notify you to send addys. Official results will be tomorrow but I would love to be able to send out the prizes immediately.

So happy, haha. Most of the Bayern fans (me included) are really happy that Flick is moving to Barca now. There was a lot of chatter in the past weeks, that he might return to Bayern. And I don't know anyone who would have liked that. Even though we won the CL 2020 together.

I'm quite curious to see how long he can last in Barcelona. 1-2 seasons max? I guess. 

Fuuuukkk yes I found out too, what a terrible jinx, to mention it and they he gets sacked on the day.

I am very close to giving up on my own club to be honest guys. It's not about their football or the way they are. I love the players and the fans but the owners and the way the club is run, it's like if we don't do anything about it, it's gonna get worse. I remember the Glazers caused the most loyal United fans to breakaway, and I think Barca is going down the same route.

@KTChampions Something needs to change, this is drama football, like a soap opera, when we need to play football again. But it's not about Xavi, or Flick. It's about the top.
