* The entry fee will be 2.5 mBTC and I'll leave the pot breakdown for hilariousandco to decide

Wasn't this always around £35-£40? 2.5 mBTC currently it's $77 (or £61), is it inflation? Grin

Maybe the first few when we only had 20 users or so. It was 0.0025 last year and the World Cup pool was 0.002 but we're getting 0.2 in sponsorship compared to nothing when we first started. £60 is still a bargain when there's a chance to 3 mBTC Free Bet each week and 0.1 for first place.

Nil Satis Nisi Optimum

and after almost having us relegated last season, Frank Lampard is close to be back in Everton
he could not succeed as manager, but as Sean Dyche is no magnet for any player, and Everton can't even sign Gyokeres from Coventry, not to mention any better, Lampard will be back as transfer lead, since players obviously like him, and have trust in him

unbelievable, but almost truth, waiting to see what will happen

Where is Darkstar?

Don't know. Hadn't noticed he'd been away but his sig says he's on a break: "taking a break - expect delayed responses".

Oh now I see ! He needed a break somewhere where the beach for some fresh air to clear his head after the whole Chipmixer drama.

Just wondering this, does anyone know anything about @tomahawk9? Dude just stop playing the pool the same month he stop being active in bitcointalk

Dunno, but looking at his feedback he might still have an active loan out with Darkstar that he took out a month prior to going AWOL to pay back within two months, so that doesn't look good: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.61241585

Did not know about this loan thing. The amount is quite big but not big enough to merit going a way for high ranking account. Couple of months in sig campaign would have taken care of that.

My thinking so far was that unfortunately something happened to him. He went missing suddenly and he did not just disappear from forum, he stopped playing all the pools as well. I always thought that if it is conscious decision to step back, we higher ranks on the forum would have said so in some topic at least.

I have a feeling something happened to him, but there is no way we can verify it unless someone from his community who knows him personally comes out to clear it up. I don't think he left the forum because of a loan or something, and BTW Darkstar has been offline for almost two months now, I have an overdue loan as well, I've sent him a message on TG because that's where we mostly deal, but no response yet, and I don't think sending coin to his address is brave enough without hearing from the owner.

Livecasino, 20% cashback, no fuss payouts.

Wow I didn't see the news here before, wish I could merit everyone but am out hehe.

Thank you to Sportsbet/Steve mainly for continuing the tradition of the pool, such a big prize and it might actually be worth even much more next season end after halving Wink

Thanks to hilarious, jeremypwr for all the arrangements. See you next season guys, I can't do badly again right??

No idea. I think some of the legendaries mentioned about him in other pools as well, just disappeared.

200 mBTC from Sportsbet is very generous offer, big thanks tor what they're doing. There was question about how many spots to award and I think that fewer places should be rewarded. 20 places awarded would significantly increase chance to win something, but I'm in for higher prizes. Especially when there is other chances to recover what you paid as sign up fee through prizes for yellow caps and weekly prediction contests.

Quote from: KTChampions on June 30, 2023, 09:06:12 AM

100 people would be a frightening competition - because in this case, if you take a full random, then the chance of winning the yellow cap during the season would be 38/100 - quite small. On the other hand, by increasing the number of participants, the prizes would also increase and be even more attractive. Top 1 would get about 0.14 mbtc

100 players would make prize pot even more huge, but I think that such number would be too big. Then chances to win something would become very tiny. Even winning weekly yellow cap would become very difficult task (not saying that's easy now Cheesy

). So, I think that such huge pool would be less fun to play.

Its technically correct but if you factor in people that will quit halfway of the season then chances is actually still decent.

I think that when a participant loses a chance at the main prizes, instead of stopping predictions, he starts making bolder and more variable predictions - after all, he still has a chance to get a yellow cap, right? In fact, for those who continue to fight for a strategic general victory, this reduces the chances of getting a yellow cap.

Technically this should be the case but if you look at the leaderboard from last season, atleast 5 players out of 61 players actually stopped playing for various reasons so if we actually make it to 100 players then Im pretty sure that we might even have atleast 10 players that would stop playing mid way of the tournament

I will be giving this a shot for the first time with this new season and see how it turns out in the end. Great sponsorship from SportsBet which means that it will attract the best of punters to join in the fun.

It's better to have the signup thread available as soon as possible so that there will be enough time for a wider audience reach and also enough time for everyone interested to join in.

Pretty sure at this point there are alot of people that have seen this pool's thread already with 519 pages of reply but it seems some people are always hesitant to pay 2.5 mbtc to sign up on this pool. I guess we'll get somewhere around 50-55 this season, still a pretty decent pool to play with this high prizepool if we include the freebets for yellow cap winner then it would be $10,000 prizepool

Hey guys,

With the English Premier League set to kick-off on August 12, we wanted to give everyone the chance to get excited for what should be another fun and competitive season Cool

Sponsorship
* Sportsbet.io has agreed to continue the tradition with a generous 200 mBTC sponsorship (Big thanks to Steve)
* If we get our usual 50-60+ entrants, that brings the total pot to 325-350 mBTC+
* The entry fee will be 2.5 mBTC and I'll leave the pot breakdown for hilariousandco to decide

Free Bets
* There are 38 weeks in the season with the Yellow Cap winner(s) receiving a 3 mBTC Free Bet each week
* In addition, there will be Exclusive Prediction Contests for paid entrants throughout the season; so plenty of opportunities to win additional Free Bets

Let's try to break last season's record of 61 paid entrants and get an even bigger pot

This really is an enormous sponsorship again, wow!

I hope we can get as many users more than those of the previous seasons, and the weekly free bet also is something worth playing for the entire 38 weeks, I just hope I'll do much better this season, because I fell off totally in the last edition.

It's better to have the signup thread available as soon as possible so that there will be enough time for a wider audience reach and also enough time for everyone interested to join in.

200 mBtc?

Did I see that right plus the entry fees of each participant plus tons of free bets to get from?That sound just as great as last season,I will make sure to start saving some coins (losing dramatically in the casino many times in a row now Grin

) so I can be part of this wonderful pool again.I was in the prize spots last year so my hope and objective will be the same to be again there.What would be a better objective is if we come near 100 people to join this pool,I am sure the interest is there,it just needs some sparkling Grin

The Best Tipster on the Forum!!

Wow,amazing. This is good news and cannot wait to play again. Last season was first at the middle of the league but ended up with a prize. So hopefully next season i will be in top 5. Also with how the trend is going i think we might see more then 60+ people for next premier league. The only thing if its possible somehow to make things intresting is to have top 3 or 2 place in a week to get a prize. Like we have that only the best gets the free bet. I dont know if its possible to make it happen but still i like how the pool will look next season. Thanks to all that made this happen and cant wait to play!

Yeah, 20 is probably too many to be honest. It's kinda annoying having to send out that many prizes as well haha. Maybe we can do top 10 substantial payments and then at the most 5 consolation prizes that basically just win you your money back or maybe a little more. I'll see how big the sponsorship is and how many people sign up before I decide but I don't think I will go with more than 15 this time.

Top 10 prize position + $100 free bet for 11-15th position.

^ This imo. Potential to win bigger prizes make players more motivated to be in the money.

And for 11 - 15 spots, why not they just get their entry fee back, basically free rolling the next season's pool. But yeah, sprinkling some free bets in there wouldn't be a bad idea.
