I am sure there is some people that have missed this pool but mostly it is as your wrote above. I am participating in Premier League, La Liga and Serie A pools already and I will also take part in Champions League pool when it gets going. Choosing that many results can get a bit tedious and I guess it drops your chances to win prizes if you are researching games. I am picking them by gut feeling so I don't care

oh man, i got 4 points in total in week 1! wth?! 😭🤣  a bit late but, good job, hahay, for getting the 1st yellow cap

he! Sojourner and upsets, iconic duo in this board and the pools 👍 you're gonna put that prediction in a bet slip next weekend? some good odds in the bookies right now, although we could see some other tempting upsets w/ higher odds (the type you like in a single bet) in Serie A or PL

ohm and about the low number of participants here, i kinda expected it, not because of the spanish-audience not visiting this board, but because La liga isn't that popular around here so i figure people were going to either skip this pool or join the EPL one

Good call on all those finalisations, Trofo. I think for a first edition 13 players really isn't such a bad start, I'm honestly surprised not more people are in it but I guess Spanish-speaking players don't really come into this section of the forum?

Put in my 2nd round picks already, including a nice upset;)

I don't think it will get cancelled as well. I am expecting a couple of games to be moved to other dates when some teams end up with several sick players but no more than that. As you said there is too much money involved and show must go on

I included a sentence regarding cancellation just because we had a discussion in last year PL pool what to the when league was stopped and it is difficult to come to conclusion when money is directly involved and there is already a lot of players out of prize race. Better to account for it and not need it.

I am fine with that - probably my only chance to get something in return here^^ Don't think the season will get canceled due to Corona though; they have already higher numbers than in spring now and these hygiene concepts work very well in general. Too much money involved

Prize structure looks good as well. Thanks again for taking care of things.

First round of matches is over and I guess who wanted to join the pool has already joined so the time has come for me to finalize rewards structure. Logfiles is our latest addition and I am happy he managed to get all the predictions in even though I was half an hour late to supply pool link This now confirms that if you enter predictions and join the pool at later date you will have all the points as if you played from day 1. This mechanic can possibly be abused (somebody waits until half the season passed and then joins only if he would be in the lead) so I am putting a deadline to our pool.

Pool is open for joining until the end of game week 4.

There is 13 of us now and it is probably the final number so here comes the prizes
We have 0.0425 BTC in the pool, 0,0325 from fees and 0,01 thanks to our sponsor BitcoinPRBuzz.com

Prize structure:
First place: 0,02 BTC
Second place: 0,012 BTC
Third place: 0.005 - 0.006 BTC *
Highest round score among all the rounds: 0.0045BTC

*All the transaction fees will be paid from Third place prize since this is the one I boosted the most from my initial idea. This rule will only change in case BTC tx shoot trough the roof and get to be more than 1mBTC.

Disclaimer:
There will be no sharing of the prizes, prizes will be paid out as per Superbru ranking. Even if 2 participants have same points, Superbru has some tie breakers implemented so the prize goes to the participant that is listed first.

I was thinking of adding one more paid spots but felt like this structure is better, if you would like to see another paid spot (lower rewards for the rest) then now is the time to speak up. If you have some other ideas feel free to share. In case we get another sign up I am adding a prize for 4th place for sure.

After game week 4 I will add prizes to the OP and then there will be no changes. What you guys want to do in case La Liga gets canceled (Corona or some other shit)? I propose we pay out the rewards if more than half season gets played and return the entry fee in case it does not.

@ty
Yeah, they're never easy for me to be fair, even though I do follow La Liga somewhat as a Barca fan, but yeah well done hahay. It really is impressive. I'm just going to have to be happy with my own performance for now at second place;) Three whole points from 1st to 2nd, and three whole points from me to third:P

Well, first round was really difficult to predict. Mainly because biggest teams haven't played yet - usually it's source of easy points. Also, there was many tricky games like Valladolid - Real Sociedad or Eibar - Celta without obvious favorite. Upsets like Huesca draw with Villarreal didn't helped too. Valencia didn't played well, but somehow managed to win derby. Wouldn't be surprised if Levante will finnish above them.

I saw both of you with zero point earlier in the evening, And I for a moment thought you by chance have forgotten to make your picks 

Hahay is killing it 

Well the prize is you get a nice wooden spoon icon next to your name in Superbru

If we were sitting on much bigger sponsor funds and privacy wasn't such a big deal in this crypto space I would actually run the pool with yellow caps and spoons sent to participants on weekly basis. Engraved with something appropriate. Sadly, never gonna happen.

I am also doing quite bad so far but at least there is time to get better.

What was the prize again for the worst performance in a round ? Can't seem to find that information in first post jk

The games in this round weren't easy to predict, but I am still sitting at zero points Kudos to hahay for getting 9pts already, thats quite impressive. LaLiga has always been a league I didn't find that interesting, but don't know why. I think there are a lot of boring games (apart from the obviously exciting ones in general, i.e. RM vs Barca) and the atmosphere in the stadiums is not catching me as well. But I also joined here to get some more knowledge about this league and seems there is a lot of work to be done in that department.

Damn you hahay, 3 whole points ahead of the whole pack. I picked quite a lot of nice ones but all 1.5 points and such a shame Sociedad couldn't find a way to win so I got 0 instead of 3 (picked 2-1). Late now so I have to go to bed and wake up with a nice surprise:P


Like I said, just because. I've got no reason to change my pick whatever the first game. First friendly looked good shape everywhere to be fair!

I put the score 0-1 for the Cadiz CF vs Osasuna match and it looks like it still doesn't guarantee to get an exact score because there is still a second half where there might be another goal or this 0-1 score will last until the end of the match, because the two previous games were also there weren't many goals scored and apart from that, I'm not sure Cadiz CF will score a goal in this match.

You are in now, you sure like to cut it close. Let me know what happened with the first match.

I think you could have picked the scores even before joining the pool and you would have points after joining. If you did not do that maybe you got a default score which is good as well. At worst you are one game behind but it should not matter much in the long run anyway. Especially since it is a tough one to predict.

Best of luck and glad you are with us.

Yup hurrryyy!  You got like a tad less than 15 mins before Eibar and Celta Vigo starts.  You can join the Italian pool too while you're at it if you want.    

Thanks.
I just had to send the BTC using high priority fees and the transaction has one confirmation already. I hope Trofo sees my PM before kick off  

Yes, that's the correct address, and welcome on board  

You need to be very fast with the transaction, though. There is barely an hour before the first game gets underways and hopefully Trofo would confirm and accept your application to meet the kick off.

I have been having trouble logging into my old superbru account, so I just decided to create a new one. I hope I am not late.
Somebody help me and  confirm, Is this the address to send funds to in order to join? 1Jz6CJsgZJNWDBjDEchpgbBhckTxsfA1Cg
@Trofo @tokeweed @Harkorede

but Barca is postponed, so i will skip it for this weekend bet
did not saw the new termin for this match, when it is scheduled, if we are speaking regarding first round Barcelona and Elche match

Neither for me. I picked Barca to win by 2 goals just because. I know we probably won't have Suarez by then but that just means we'll probably be playing Griezmann together with Coutinho and that sounds pretty fierce on its own.

Granada to win + Valencia + Villareal also sound like an "easy" 10x but nothing goes as predicted at these stages usually.
