Liverpool is my favourite team this season. In fact we made a similar side bet with Hhampuz about this topic. What do you say for a similar side bet to the one in last year as you are much more challenging in the pools this season?

Fine haha, let's do it. Add me to your spreadsheet. I know I had a bad start but you know, I'm counting on some major upsets this season, might as well add another layer of money to back it!

I think Nottingham Forest is better then Sheffield and i think they might win by a small difference against Sheffield. It will be a close match but i think they can take ,both teams are looking for points in the league to try and remove those zero points from the league table. But i think Forest will take all three

Blades were pretty damned good in some parts of the Championship but yeah, Nottingham Forest finally have some semblance of a team after the weird Frankenstein assembly of last season. I think they'll get a solid win too.

@un_rank these sidebets are made on gentlemen's agreement -- you don't pay up, you lose reputation. That's quite powerful at this forum.

The reputation worth five figure x than the amount were risked in some cases the reputations are something that is even can not be lost or sell for any amount of money.

Great! I did not know that. Welcome to the team. Now even if I lose the sidebet with you, I will have no regret after all you are my team mate 😘

I do want to satisfy you and since you have a spreadsheet... which is your favourite team? I can bet Liverpool will get fewer cards AND bigger goal difference than yours if it's not City Wink

Sure, I am aware of how sidebets work, we were discussing how best to record them; in a spreadsheet or a thread.

If there are many people who want a subject to be created I can do it. If there is someone who wants me to add to the spreadsheet it is enough to just tag me to the post. I will have seen it thanks to the telegram bot.

So one week passed extremely fast and tomorrow we will have again Premier League action.It is Nottingham vs Sheffield United,two teams that have lost their first games and will be fighting hard to collect their first ever points of this new season Premier League.Based on what I saw in the first game it looks like Sheffield United has not upgraded their team to fill a super fast rhythm and great play of the Premier League,they lost at home against Crystal Palace and this make me think that it will be extremely difficult for them to win away in tomorrow game.

A draw seems like an expected result and I will expect it to be a low scoring one or even a goalless one. Predictions matter little when the whistle is blown for kickoff and the match can swing whichever way.

It doesn't need to be heavily moderated to work, it's just about the OP stating the rules of engagement in the thread in the first post...

The thread creator will also expect to personally scrape finalized bets from the different threads cause many users will not report their bets there, not by choice but cause they forgot about the thread at the time when the sidebet was made.
With careful planning and effort from the OP, it can work.

- Jay -

I think you're getting my idea quite in a wrong way, the OP doesn't have to monitor anyone's side bets for them, it's literally going to be an open thread for those who have proposed sidebets to each other on any thread, La Liga, Premier League, BSFL just any thread, having proposed their bets terms and agreement on those thread, the side bets thread would only serve as a thread for documentation, and it's not going to have 50 post in just one or two days because there shouldn't be any form of multiple discussions there, just one party posting the details of their already agreed bet terms, and the opponent quote the post as an indication of accepting the bet, when the bets eventually gets settled, it takes just one of both parties to state that the bet have settled/paid.

Man City are finally have two European titles right, I was actually anxious that the same fate of the shield could end repeating it self, and that would have been such a blow because who knows when next they'll get the chance for another one, but as fate would have it, they were the one who had to come from behind this time around, so they won the penalties, while it was vice versa against Arsenal.

I'm sure every Man City fan or player would pick this victory over that one against Arsenal.

I really like the idea of a spreadsheet, but I think would it be better to perhaps have a thread specifically for this in the gambling discussion ?

The thread will have to be heavily moderated to be effective and if it gets the expected traffic readers will have to skim through pages to be able to see the sidebet they are searching for. It seems much easier to go through a spreadsheet which can be updated by a certain user.

A thread could work if a certain user takes it on themselves to take all the sidebets from the different threads and edit it into a new thread.

It doesn't need to be heavily moderated to work, it's just about the OP stating the rules of engagement in the thread in the first post, and local rule of no off topic posts that doesn't include the finalization of a sidebet by the two users. If that's been done any other post would only need to be reported and most likely will get deleted by the admins based on the local rules, it might take while to make the thread a perfect one, but I think it would work out well, just like the collectibles section.

And about the thread getting lost in middle of all threads overtime, it's easier to bookmark or enable following for just one thread. You'll also need to bookmark the spreadsheet or look for the post containing the link as well as time goes on.

Also you can find the details related to all the bets in the spreadsheet

You made too many side bets. If you are able to finish over all of us then you are going to stash a lot of BTC LOL. Good luck again, it's a long season, 37x10 matches left. Anything can happen.

Why Little Mouse - BitcoinGirl.Club sidebet filled with ~~yellow~~ orange? There are no way for Arsenal to win the title.

One needs to make preparation like they will lose all of the side bets.

I have fixed the colour now.

I mean it would have to put a lot of work on who is updating the spreadsheet, because there are still weekly and soon maybe monthly sidebets going on other threads like the BSFL, so it'd would be easier to have two players post the details of their sidebet and it's will very open too, I don't know if it's going to be an allowed thread as per the forum rules in the gambling section.

Frankly I think it is a reasonable opinion. I'm going to create a subject today. I hope that it doesn't mean any problem to anyone.

Good luck you two. How much did you bet?

Thank you. I hope that I can be the winner. Tongue

The losing side is going to pay the Premier League pool entry fee of the winner next season. Even though the amount changes every year this equals to nearly 75 dollars. As I make so many side bets this is a good amount for me. Although I have made so many side bets this season I'm still not satisfied due to not being able to make a side bet with buwaytress. Tongue

I'm still open to some of these (Haaland under 33,5 still available after yesterday):

Let me know your odd?
Last season he scored 36 goals. If he don't catch an injury then his possibility for over 33.5 is higher even he can score more than 36 goals too.

Equal odds - I say he'll go under 33,5 in the league.

Individual performance based bet means relaying on one individual. It's hard to predict many factors, factors like health comes first, no doubt about the ability though but one simple injury can ruin everything. Lately I am thinking to walk away. I will pass.

Deal. I have added it to the spreadsheet. You are going to come to my mind every time Haaland scores in the league this season.

Good luck you two. How much did you bet?

I just picked randomly .I did played 3 draws just beacuse i dont know which one to pick between them.Happy to see that I broke records😁

It might be random but some football knowledge will go into the picks you made. You rode a expected difficult first match week which many will struggle to predict many wins or losses.
Now we have to come for your yellow cap next matchweek.

A decent start for me though I missed some pretty easy predictions which affected the overall points.

if Salah's goal had stood things might have been different.

If Mykhailo Mudryk wouldn't miss the goal at the last minute, I would have gotten 3 points lol. Again, it's if. Apart from losing 3 points, I lost 2 mBTC too in that match Cry

21 points in 10 matches are outstanding. You really had a nice start. If I can remember correctly, KYChampions had such a start in the UCL pool last season. Lucky you! Don't forget that we are still far away from the final match. A good round may change everyone's position in the pool ranking. Good luck mate.

hi guys, is there still a chance to join? If the answer is yes then I will send the fee immediately.. Another question, I see i got 9 points in the first round, do I start at 0 points if I join or do I keep these points?

You can join and your 9 point will be counted automatically.

Don't know what is @Colorpoll54 name on Bitcointalk, but he simply delivering on 1st round - so far he got right outcomes of all 9 games so far, including 4 exact scores. He have great chance to get right predictions of all 10 games, it happens very rarely in EPL.

Quote from: buwaytress on August 13, 2023, 09:03:22 AM

OK, so today, just watched my first game -- and I guess we're all going to have to get used to all that extra time. 10+ minutes for the first half unheard of, but personally, I think it's great if it reduces time-wasting and simulation. I would prefer if teams who did it were punished by refs to give that extra time only if the opponent needs it (and if the team guilty is losing, they blow regular).

It seems excessive at the moment. 20+ mins per game mean almost 15 extra "matches" over the season!

I expressed my opinion in other thread and I don't really like new regulations. I understand that this is how things should be handled with wasted time, but it makes games a bit too long for me. As you said, with 20 minutes added per game, clubs will get quite a lot ''full games'' in whole season. I doubt they're happy about it when they already have such intensive calendar. I think that risk of injuries can increase too.

I like that added time and especially giving the cards for complaints. This way there isn't that much time wasting and those guys that always complain should get used to beeing booked all the time. Yes, games are longer but we also have 5 subs which should help with fatigue.

I had a nice round and thought I have a chance for yellow cap but than I saw the monster result Colorpoli made.

I saw that 21 points too.That is massive points for a single round with ten games and the beauty of it is that it is not over yet.Maybe he has played a lot of draws and if this is his playing style overall he will lose points and positions Grin

.He got a lot of points yesterday so most probably he had played the draws in those games of yesterday which few people predicted seeing how the ranking updated from Saturday to yesterday.It is just the first week though but yeah that guy set a new record for 10 games weeks even if he does not get any point in tonight game.

I just picked randomly .I did played 3 draws just beacuse i dont know which one to pick between them.Happy to see that I broke records😁
