MAaaN...!! CUT THAT STUPID SHIT

friendly reminder to all my fellow La Liga fans that today around this time (8pm Las Vegas, zzz i'm sleepy), we're gonna have a pre-season El Clasico 😳

It's a friendly, sure, but you bet your ass Lewandowski wants to have a dream debut with FC Barcelona. But on the other hand, Benzema and the boys don't want to miss the opportunity to give Barca fans a reality check (fans look too excited lately, time to smash their hopes, hehe)

Even though it's only a test match, the two Spanish giants will still be testing their new strength. The match that will be held at Ellegiant Stadium, Las vegas will be a fierce battle, this match will show the ability of both teams. Especially at this time who was intensively in the transfer market. Barcelona will have new players, namely Rapinha from Leeds United and Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. this will be their first debut in barcelona with a test match El Clasico.

Bundesliga is not the same platform, it will be the only one on another site. They used that one in the past and didn't wanted to change. That is probably the only one I may skip. Mostly because of platform.

I'll be joining the Bundesliga pool, and that's for the sake of it being run on another platform, I'd like to see how it would work perhaps, it could be a worth replacement for SuperBRU which I get we all are accustomed too, but sometimes there's always something new, perhaps better out there you just have to find them and give them a trial (I'm not talking about our wives or women here).

I'm definitely going to have my weekends really hectic with these pools next season, I'll probably take a day or two to put in all my picks for the entire season, then change as I dim fit as the game week approaches and team forms begin to set in, at least that way I'll be sure I won't be missing any pick due have a long Friday or some shitty network weekends.

I mentioned that I could be wrong about the percentage, and it's very possible because of how I watch my games. I don't watch my games at home; instead, I prefer to watch them at fans viewing centers, where you have access to 4- 5 TVs, allowing you to watch 3-4 fixtures at a time, and sometimes these fixtures usually start 2 hours apart, giving you more time to watch each game. It feels great to watch games with a cold vodka while also having the opportunity to banter with rivalry fans for fun.

That is cheating

And it is possible to do it home as well, I just don't find much joy at it. When you watch multiple games on different screens like that you end up just watching goal chances and you miss on a lot of stuff. I have a 3 monitor setup in my room/office so sometimes when I have a bet on multiple games/sports that play out at the same time I watch them all at once. When I do that for a longer period of time it just makes me tired and I get headache so screw all that, pick the best game that is on and enjoy it fully.

Haha, I pay $5 for a single match and whenever 3-4 matches start at the same time, we consider it a bonus because you came to watch your favorite but ended up watching other actions as well. I only watch Sunday early kickoffs on my phone while I'm in church, which is a bad habit, but it's a Chelsea game, I'm not missing that. My wife despises it, but she has no control over it. Football is a passionate sport. Cheesy

Haha, realistically, I watched 98% of Chelsea's games last season, missing only two league cup matches because they weren't broadcast on major channels. To be honest, I wasn't sure about those percentages, but I watch 3-4 random fixtures every weekend.

When the league games officially begin, I will share the telegram link. A $100 to $1000 challenge with a 98% success rate. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Damn man, I see I'll have to give out some math instructions Grin

Let's go with the easy one first. It is impossible to watch 86% of Premier League games if you don't watch at least 2 and probably 3 of them on replays. There is 10 games every week. For you to get 86% you would need to watch 8-9 games every week. Which is impossible since at least 3 of them and sometimes more are played at the same time on Saturday. So if you watch every single live game every single week you would get 60-65%.

Chelsea played 63 games last season (you made me google it) if you missed 2 of them that means you missed:
2/63*100=3,175%, which means you actually watched a little less of 97% of games. So you were actually very close here.

I didn't do my home work very well. Angry

Quote from: casperBGD on July 22, 2022, 03:58:24 PM

it is hardly possible to watch more EPL matches, since most play on Saturday in the same time (and if you have one TV, as I do, I can watch one game at a time, so basically missing out on four-five matches on that time) - although we have several matches on live coverage from provider

It's possible if you don't watch it at home.

last two seasons, La Liga did a lot on that, due to Covid, and they have almost all matches at different timing during weekends, so you can watch almost all, but on the other side, some matches could be really boring (I am calling their Sunday 14:00 match a sleeping giant, since it is usually 0-1 goals, and 0-5 shots on goal match))

I'd like to be a part of it. I'm also a Laliga fan, though I only watch the important matches, compared to the EPL, which I watch nearly 86% of the games. If I were to join a Laliga pool, I would base most of my predictions on bookmaker odds because I don't follow most of the teams there. I'll decide whether to join the fantasy pool or Laliga in a few days. I'd also be running a daily 1.50 odd free tips challenge on Telegram for those interested.

So nearly 86% of the games? Really curios how you worked out that number and then added nearly in front of it

Cracked me up really good.

So share some forum link if you are documenting that challenge here, or maybe telegram invitation if it is only there. I believe you have my nick on telegram so you can send it to me there as well.

I have a problem with percentages apparently since I am discussing them here with you after drinking 5 beers and a bottle of home brewed schnaps instead of going to bed. I think is because of college and all the math classes I listened there, ruined for life

I actually always assumed most people in EPL pool was also going to join, last season I thought only because these pools were just for the first time sponsored by Sportsbet but I guess the majority of football followers don't really see much interest in football leagues that is not EPL.

We should try our best to convert some, like Welsh hilarious LFC_Bitcoin igehhh and rdbase are the loyalists of Premier League, why not try these 2 also, there is free contest every week too for extra freebets

Well done Ulven for making the decision! It's easy to remember once you're in Superbru, all the pools you're active in will be notified for action from dashboard, plus these threads will all be active. Now the only times I do forget is after international break but I usually still make it in time. Plus, default picks settings help save you for 10 games. Definitely saved me last season in 1 pool (forget which).

Trofo That kind of happened to me in past seasons when Top 10 seems so far away!

morvillz7z Pools are honestly much quicker to complete, if you know the league well, and I'm sure your fantasy time means you probably even know it better than us, it's literally 10 seconds to enter picks per Match Day Wink

But agree, if you know you can't participate in, no pressure (well, just a little pressure Wink

). I'm saying no to Fantasy, though I wish I could.

There is so many pools this season that I am also afraid it will become a bit of a chore to enter all the results. I can see myself giving up in pools where I am not doing so well.

i do not want to see me giving up during the season, and that is why I am still thinking about Bundesliga, although I like german football probably more than La Liga or Calcio, I do not watch it that often (simply they have bad timings - Saturday same time as Premier league), and on Sunday there is usually better football on other sides (either Premier, or La Liga)

maybe they could change it, but I do think that they are oriented to domestic fans, and will not

will think it thorugh once again, Premier, La Liga, Calcio is a lot already, but it is a same platform at least, another platform would provide more work

Bundesliga is not the same platform, it will be the only one on another site. They used that one in the past and didn't wanted to change. That is probably the only one I may skip. Mostly because of platform.

Great, I will create our pools over the weekend and start sending out the invites to the people that paid. It is easier that way than to keep track of whom needs to get invite in spreadsheet Grin

And yeah, Superbru hasn't opened any of the big leagues except Premier League, someone needs to spank them!

I am not worried for them, they are a bit lazy with leagues other then PL, but they always come true about 10 days before leagues start. Sometimes even sooner. It will seem long time this time around since I started the pools a bit earlier then usual to hopefully get more participants. Not expecting it though since we have so many pools this season and it is difficult to chose and difficult to pay entries to all of them at the same time.

I would also like to participate in the Spanish pool, but I am afraid that I will not remember some of the pools that I participated in of them this season Cheesy

I have great memories of last season where I won many tickets to LaLiga matches.

So put me on the list trofo. I will send you the entrance fee next week

Big shout out to you guys, since all of you are in my other pool as well, so no need to post anything there. To be fair, Serie A actually has one more participant,
morvillz7z. Don't know why but he does not like this pool while he is regular in Serie A.

@morvillz7z
What are the chances to make you join here as well if put out some well thought out peer pressure?

I'm up to my ears in fantasy sports, especially fantasy football (NFL), i will be playing in 4 or 5 paid leagues this season and it takes pretty much all the free time that i have. I just can't make enough space for all the pools available here, add to that i don't follow La Liga closely, hell i haven't even watched El Clasico the last few editions. I don't want to participate in pools i won't be able to play competitively and fight for the top spots.

~snip

thanks for reminder, I will do it tonight for both pools, sending you DM later on

looking at friendly, Valencia is playing really solid football, maybe this season will be a breakthrough into top4
just checked Superbru for F1, and La Liga is not even there yet, I hope that we will reach 20 participants this season, have three more weeks for that

Looks like pool would be more like a full time weekends jobs for me this season, as they're tons of it, and it should be all really interesting. All things be equal, I should be to join all by this weekend.

I strongly doubt Morvillz7z would join la liga pool, as it doesn't find much interest in it, same with me tbh, I'm always joining because I'll always follow the league as a Barcelona fan, but the lower teams fixture really doesn't provide much interest like those of Serie A, because I'd literally rather watch a match like Sassuolo vs Empoli, than watch Sevilla vs Càdiz or a match like Getafe vs Espanyol.
