I have put you on the list. Don't worry you will know when it starts, I will start collecting money if/when we reach 10 participants and probably sent a PM to all users who expressed a willingness to join. And we will get some extra traffic here in the tread before the actual league starts for sure.

If Bitcoin price stays how it is at the moment I am considering to put buy in on round number of 0.0025 BTC. That is just about something less than 30$. Sounds like a nice amount for the whole year of playing pool and especially now when we have sponsor. If there is 10 of that will result with a rewards pot of 0.035 BTC which is a little more than 400$ and is already a nice sum to win.

Rewards would be something like
1. 200$
2. 120$
3. 40$
overall best round result 40$

So, 3rd guy and the one with best round result get more than they paid for. Hopefully BTC will go significantly up in the next year and our rewards will be that much better. I will put out the "official" rewards as rounded BTC amounts after we start the pool so there is no confusion but they will be similar to those written above if we have about 10 players. If we get more players (15-20) I will add more paid places. Maybe first 5 or something.

I just spoke with our sponsor and if we manage to get 15 participants we will get a top up in sponsored money from 0.01 to 0.015BTC. So go get some other people to join

Count me in please! I played the EPL pool last 2 seasons, and last one only the Champions League, Barca small fan here. Not a serious one like most people, just a regular supporter but ok why not, maybe I do better in a league I like watching the most:) But please remind us before we start ok?
 
Hi buwaytress, thanks for sponsoring, seems like you always have a kindness for all these efforts:)

Bump!
C'mon people, where are you? There is just 7 players yet... I thought there is way more people interested in La Liga.

I posted the links in our Premier League pool once or twice and on discussion threads for the leagues. I am putting you on the list
Entry will be somewhere in that price range.

Great man, I knew I could count on you, and hopefully with this extra boost to the prize pool we will get some more participation from other established forum members.

Trofo, I would have joined this if I knew about it, somehow I did not see it easily, nor the other.

Anyway, registering my interest here. I will probably be throwing money away even more than in the EPL pool, but since I'm so generous, I might as well support the gambling people in this forum;)

I think fixing the entry at 0.002 to 0.003 BTC would be good, giving BTC price. Heck if we ATH in September, that's going to be a $40 fee haha.

Also, regardless of whether I participate or not, I am also stating my intent to sponsor additional funds for my very small crypto business that I work on with a few others. It's not the best of times for everyone, even before the pandemic, but it's a small bunch of people doing their best to support the industry and a few freelancers all over the world, so I always do my best;)

I cannot put down a very hard number down, but I can say with some certainty that it should be BTC0.01 to the prize pool if we get 10 paying members, which I'll send to the host before the season starts. I can't promise much more BUT if I see participation from more established forum members, I will likely look to boost that amount.

Added you and put an 15+ conditional to your name:)

Spread the word guys for this pool, next season will come sooner than anybody expects. For now the start date is set for September 12th, that is a bout month and a half away and we still have to finish all Champions Leagues matches before. That will be very short break for players from top tier clubs.

I will join the pool if there will be more then 15 interested participants, that would ensure that this would be interesting and fun to play. La Liga can't be worse next season then what it was this season for sure.

Although I barely join such pool, I am interested to join the pool this time. Looking for more participants. Would be great to see above 15 participants to have a better riding.

count me in, hopefully next season will be better in La liga than this one, and Atletico or someone else would try to get into top two

I also played in free pool this season. You can count me in!

I'm currently a participant of the free pool, and I'm hoping we would get more participants this time around, count me in on this 

Main sponsor:
I am happy to announce that our main Sponsor for this year is Sportsbet.io
I believe no further introduction is necessary since we are talking about top crypto bookie here. I am sure you all have an account there and if you don't, what are you waiting for?
The deal includes:
1. 40 mBTC cash for pool rewards (around 1600$ at the moment)
2. 0.5 mBTC free bet for every participant, in other words you get half of entrance fee back as free bet on Sportsbet.io when the tournament starts
3. Free bets for weekly competition. If you played COPA pool you know what I am talking about. I am thinking of having one competition for both La Liga and Serie A pools.
We may still have another additional sponsor. Waiting to hear from them.

Supporting sponsor
buwaytress -- "contact me for blockchain - and crypto-centric content strategy, ghostwriting, and financial compliance consultancy. Also available for pro bono consultancy for non-profits."
Added additional 5 mBTC to the pot.

How this pool works
Welcome to Spanish La Liga Prediction pool discussion thread. My intention is to run a pool on Superbru for the next season. This will be organized very similar as current Premier League Pool and Champions League pool. If you took part in any of them no need to read further, you already know most stuff.

For prediction we will use Superbru page and we will have complementary discussion topic here on the forum for participants only. Superbru has been around for years and they are very good at providing custom pools for all kinds of sports. The idea of the game is to predict correct scores from all the games which gives you max points (3). If you get outcome correct but not the score there is still some points awarded (1-1.5). The winner is the person with most points at the end of the season.


Buy in
This is a paid pool and buy in is set to 0.001 BTC, just about 40$ at this moment. This seems like a very fair price for whole year of prediction fun + nice prizes boosted by our sponsor. All the collected money will be used for prizes. Also you get half of it back as free bet.

Rewards:

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. 

Hopefully BTC will be worth much more by the time we end the pool and prizes will be so much better

Escrow and payment address (same as last year)
I am escrow for the funds on below mentioned address. In order to participate in the La Liga pool please pay 0.001 BTC (around 40$ at the moment) to below address and send me a tx via pm so I know who sent the money. Be sure to include your Sportsbet and Superbru usernames in the same PM. After day or two check the paid participants part to see if I added you there for extra security. Thank you.
