Nope! There is only 20 gaurenteed position for prizes (money) according to the pool captain.

20:  0.0025 BTC

Any additional money will go to the highest overall weekly scorer at the end of the season so there's still something to play for right till the end.
I thought it's 10. Now I have a reason to take the pool a bit seriously LOL
I think the entry fee was only 0.0025 BTC
Yeah I love this pool as there is always something for everyone, those who will not be able to make it to top 20 also have the chance to get free 2mBtc weekly to cover their signup fees so it's a win-win pool for everyone.

Despite a bad week, I'm still in a good place. After the Liverpool game, there were two green arrows..

I got up at this not normal hour because of my next door neighbor, all this while had no idea he was Liverpool but he was grumbling like hell, I thought they lost but it just turns out it was a draw with no goals.

arallmuus wow 2-1 exact and all that is nice but 0-0 and being the only one in 50 is actually something to be proud of...

and I think Liverpool will not disappoint either and will hopefully make a win to make this round much better than the last one.

I guess they did disappoint the fans again but Im glad that I decided to go with 0-0 on this game. I've tried different approach by getting some crazy unexpected picks that most people wouldnt go for and its not working out as I intended it to be except for this game, glad that I went it



You know what, It hits totally different when you are the only person in the pool that got exact points eventhough Im pretty far from top 20 and have only collected 5.5 points so far Roll Eyes

This round I think with the games of today most people made money,except Everton I think every other game came in as predicted and even Everton I would not call it a surprise as they are not in the best of their form and there has been a lot of inconsistency from them.

Arsenal did their job and got the win,I was surprised they are starting to win with just one goal difference but since we are approaching the last 1/3 of the season I guess every 3 points count no matter how they make them,City is also doing their job,West Ham won and I think Liverpool will not disappoint either and will hopefully make a win to make this round much better than the last one.

2-3 good rounds can move you into top3 easily
When you are hardly having luck, you will find nothing works in your favour. But it looks like top 5 had only 12 points gap and top 10 has 15 points so far. I am again very positive to move up 😂

City please make it 0 - 3!

22 spots are in the money?  If I only knew I would've continued trying to get as much points as I can.  Lol.  I mostly just click and type the score line I feel and think of first after the first couple of months.

Shame about the draw last night, probably should have seen that coming but I felt it was close enough to warrant my pick of a Wolves win.

I didn't expect at all Wolves to score let alone to win the game and got for a Fulham clean sheet as bet and also as a win for Fulham in the pool,nothing came right unfortunately but seeing that nothing has changed in the standings means that very few people have opted for a draw.

We are coming near the end of the Premier League season (yes I know we have 3 months) and these rounds are of critical importance to the people fighting for a spot in one of the 22 places that nets you a prize.

Yeah, I not only missed the Wolves upset, I actually had Mitrovic to score on another prediction. Serves me right for not waiting for lineup news.

I completely forgot there are 22 places to play for and not 10 actually. Suddenly my 50+ position doesn't look so bad (who am I kidding, right?). Anyway, I've got a lot more upsets lined up this week. Let's see me get 2 consecutive yellow caps maybe and then see if I can switch back to "normal"?

How much does the 22nd place pay for?  And how much as you move up a notch.  I think it's cool that our little pool has grown and be where it is right now.  It all started with hilarious saying he wants to start a pool one day and if we wanted to join...  I think there were just around 12 people or so who showed up.

I'm currently sitting 1 point above you and just 15 points below the first place with more than 50 points to fight for, it's still an open race for everyone, this is not like a knockout game where each round gets harder as it goes on. It's an interesting fact that 4 exact score lines get you back to the top 10 and 4 bad results get you rocking the bottom.

That's how the thing goes, that's why it's often best to try as much as possible to maintain a specific momentum, even if it's not at the highest level or pace, it's rather better to not try to chase not so feasible result every week just trying to chase the every gap between participant, I'm still never paying much attention to the leaderboard, but when we get about weeks left I'll check what's left to play for and what not, until then it's just guts, logic or pure statistical, perhaps a combination of the 3 to make a decision for me.
Yes, there are so many games and so little space between positions that this is more like a dog race where the winner is not guaranteed until the final light. To be honest, I didn't expect to be in the top 20 after only making three predictions last weekend; this isn't the first time this has happened; I always have a setback when I'm getting closer to the top, but I'm not concerned because there's still plenty to play for.


I started the weekend with an exact score, I'm having a good feelings already. Expecting another 1-1 draw from LEE - SOU game.

Not going well at all. I thought my luck was improving when I finally got freebets from 2 insurance that failed on the last game what else but Barca Sad

Then I used it up and it failed on the first game Fulham lol and they could have lost too.

Yes, the best way is to participate in many pools at once and then you will not have time to track minor changes in positions within them  Cheesy
By the way, at the end of the championship, it seems to me that the randomness of the results will increase (not in the pool, but in club games) - many teams will either have already solved their problems, or have completely failed, and therefore they will not have the motivation to play at full strength.

I have been slowly making good points too but the positions are too close to each other to really feel confident about anything. I also don't look at position but of course you can't help check when entering picks.

From 1 to 10, 15 points, then from 10 to 26, only 10 points. That's just how good this pool is.

The pool this year has been really good everyone has a chance. Im 24th i think but still only around 10 points or a little more for me to reach top 10. I think a good round can change everything and anyone can move into top 10 just like that . 2-3 good rounds can move you into top3 easily

Currently sitting in 40th place out of 61.

Something positive to take away from this is that at least Liverpool are performing better than you,  Grin

I'm currently sitting 22nd, but honestly there are some fine margins between these positions, a couple good game weeks and you're back in the bigger picture, but it's getting harder since were approaching the final third of the season.

I'm currently sitting 1 point above you and just 15 points below the first place with more than 50 points to fight for, it's still an open race for everyone, this is not like a knockout game where each round gets harder as it goes on.

In addition all the players are supertop so its more like a chemistry between players than skills of them. What are the main diference between top coachs? How they manage the locker room.


mostly agree with this, some teams have better players than others, and we have to admit that, but between same level teams locker room makes a difference (and some tactics, if you are Jose Mo, and don't mind having all your players in your own yard)
but, overall, good manager has to make harmony in the team, and Klopp failed with Mane and Salah (Mane obviously felt not appreciated enough) and that is a main difference between this and last season, some players are not seen enough until they left

I have a clue and its very simple, and its happen in the whole world of football.

In Premier League the 20 teams have tons of money and you only can put in the pitch 11 players, so you can buy X star but other its also buying other star and you cant have all the stars because you cant put them in the pitch, so we are heading to a football where all the teams have superteams in term of stars or future stars, but you are not gonna know never if this season can be good or bad.

In addition all the players are supertop so its more like a chemistry between players than skills of them. What are the main diference between top coachs? How they manage the locker room.

Cohesion has always been one of the top factors of a team being successful or not. It's why United were absolutely terrible despite having world class players. Liverpool still have world class players, and I don't think they've lost that chemistry, but rather lost the motivation. I was just talking about it in the Fury vs Usyk thread, but as soon as you reach your goal, i.e Liverpool winning the Premier League, and Champions League you lose motivation. So, we could be seeing something similar here with the players at Liverpool. They aren't as motivated for success. This might pass, and I imagine it's also a combination of teams learning to play against us, and also aging players.

Klopp has always been the best man manager for me, even before he was at Liverpool. I remember saying to someone when we were rumoured to sign Klopp, I said something along the lines if we get him, it'll be our best signing ever, and I was absolutely spot on. The guys a gem, not perfect, but a damn good manager.
