It is okay for me and thank you for accepting it.   My offer is still valid. By the way, I believe that Manchester United will complete the season nicely this year.

I can do that but only for fun meaning the amount to be 0.001 Bitcoin in total.This of course is just to increase the emotions of when we see the games of both Arsenal which I clearly see performing a lot better than Manchester United.

I have put this low amount as I know I will have it when the pool will end,however if you agree we can also increase the bet during the ongoing Premier League season if you want,but that of course most likely will be in your great disadvantage.

It is quite nice that the pool participants are betting with each other before the season starts. I would also like to put a little money on something if there is anyone interested. I think that Manchester United will complete the season ahead of Arsenal. If there is anyone interested in joining this bet with me, I would be very happy if that person writes the amount in their mind by quoting this post.

That's why I'd consider the bet somewhat a really tricky one if not a no brainer one especially If Chelsea exits their cups competitions early given them better and enough chances of not having any outstanding game, or it could be the other way round, and more so, Chelsea would also be the 2nd team from last season top 4 teams to play their first fixture of the season and would be playing against a team that finished in the bottom 5, so what happens If Chelsea wins by a larger margin than Liverpool, and Arsenal who's first fixture is relatively tougher imo, as I'd expect the other four fixtures before Chelsea's to be close ones, thus goes the bet after less than 24 hours into the new season. I'd rather take well defined bet that doesn't have to do with some random luck or scenarios.


1. Btw @buwaytress, you seem keen on Tottenham having a great season or at least a better one than Chelsea so, I'll take your side bet of Tottenham not finishing above Chelsea in the league, for a risk of If I lose I'll pay 3 mBTC while if you lose, you pay 2 mBTC
2. I'm also down for Tottenham not finishing better than Chelsea in most other non premier league competitions with all cup competitions considered equal, i.e. it doesn't matter if Chelsea wins the Champions league, if they exit most of the other competitions before Tottenham you win, for the same value as that in the first post.

Who else going to start the season with a big bang on Community Shield? I know I am. Over 3/1 odds too!


Clearly you didn't read my post. I already said 3/1 odds from the very first post. How's that cheating? Pay attention

Chelsea have more than double percentage (81%) according to odds than Spurs to finish top 4.

They're favoured more than Spurs, so you have the advantage. You're EXPECTED to finish above Spurs. Winning the same amount of money for choosing the favourite, how's that fair?

Not even close to what you wrote first. That first bet I would take immediately.

I am up for Chelsea to lead the table at the season break or any point after that - No
Season break is defined as the time when league stops for world cup.

That removes possibility of Chelsea winning first 2 games and being top of the table. Or chelsea playing first in the beginning and topping the table before other clubs play.

It means they are expected to lead the league at some point during the season before the completion of the 38 games. Given that the majority of pundits predicted they would finish outside the top 4 next season. It's a risky bet but I believe in the team I support.

Both players would probably score at least 5 penalties each, that you leaves you with 11 goals, I'd also take such bet for both of them score at least that amount of goals provided they play at least 70% of the full season, in case of an unfortunate long term injury. I think it will be fair to draw your numbers from a specified sportsbook to get an informed guess of what the fair lines should be, I'm sure most of the bookies would have no more than a margin of +/- 1.5 goals for approximately the same odds, that'd be better than just drawing random values/lines.


I would probably take this bet, but I still don't totally understand the exact definition; what I only understand is that you're not saying Chelsea to top the table at any point of the season. But either half of the season is going to be a bit tricky bet to explain.

Is it that after 19 games have been played each, Chelsea should be top of the table, if they're not, will the 2nd half of the season considered as a different 19 games ? or will the final standing at the end of the season be put into consideration, because it is quite possible for a team to not be at the top of the table on either half of the season as my first two scenario states and end up as the league champion.

No man! That's cheating, hahaha! Why include the odds when we are going offline to wager? While you are certain that Spur will finish ahead of Chelsea, I am certain that Chelsea will finish ahead of Spurs! It's fair that you pay me 2 mbtc if I win and I pay 2 mbtc if I lose.


Ronaldo and Salah to score over 15.5 goals!! Who's ready to bet against?

@trofo we are yet to make a deal. Haha  

Chelsea to top the league table either half of the season! @$50 who says No!?

Well, I figured now that Mane's gone..
There's also no African cup this season.

Fair argument though, but if the margin was set to 20 I'd bet on over.

it seems to me as well that Liverpool could finish outside of top2, but it is hard to predict who will be above them in the end (except City, they will win easily, IMO)

Arsenal looked great against Chelsea, but it is friendly and does not mean a lot, but could indicate that they could finish top4 this season

maybe United is that missing piece, you never know with them, just looking at 2020/21

Just to be clear, that means I'm backing Spurs to finish above Chelsea for the 22/23 EPL season, with a 2mbtc stake at 3/1 odds.

If I lose, I pay igehhh 2 mbtc. If I win igehhh pays 4 mbtc.

@cryptofrka no one's taking over 25 goals for Salah haha. Over/Under 20 would be a much more reasonable bet for even money (to me)

both of you, are you sure that Liverpool will take 2nd (or even 1st) place? why not 4th or lower?

You don't need anybody else to quote you guys. You quote each other and nobody can change the post later. But here I quoted it for extra security as well.

I already offered you a bet similar to what buwaytress did. I just chose two sides (Spurs & Arsenal) and said if one of them finishes above Chelsea I win but I gave you even odds while buwaytress gave you 3/1. I am not sure who will do great I just feel that Chelsea will disappoint and there isn't single club that is worth taking for even odds. Liverpool and City are much bigger favorites so it wouldn't be fair to you.

I can also offer it the other way around. If Chelsea finishes above Liverpool or City you win at even odds.

Don't want to take other competitions in consideration. That complicates it way too much.

No way!! This is something I'd like to do; we're fucking bad, but NO way Spurs of Conte will finish above us this season. So, someone is going to quote this post, right? Is this the standard procedure?

If Spurs finish 3rd and Chelsea finish 4th, but both exit the Champions League (round doesn't matter), we can happily say Spurs had a better season than Chelsea. However, if Chelsea won a domestic cup and finished lower in the league than Spurs, we can all agree that Chelsea had a good season. Is everything clear now?

I like the idea of buwaytress; pick a side and let's make a deal because you're sure Chelsea won't do well next season.

Anybody thinking Salah going over 25 goals this season?

I'm willing to bet he goes under, so if somebody's taking this let me know. 2mBTC or around that, or we can make 50$ in BTC at the last day of the season.

To complicated, I am not for those bets that aren't clear to grade. Imagine following sitation. Chelsea finishes 4th in the league, Spurs 3rd, but Chelsea exits CL in semi final and Spurs exit in quarter final. Let's say they both sides do equally well in domestic cups. Who had better season? It could be even more complicated.

Same goes for any bets that aren't even odds. I am up only for even odds, easy to grade stuff for these side bets.

Might as well specify the cup or league,would end up confusing. Here is my offer for now.

I would take Spurs to finish above Chelsea for 3/1. Since Chelsea are rated 3rd favourite to win title, seems good value for whoever wants that.

2mbtc, any takers?

Since the three teams are playing in European competitions I think we can all agree that the UEFA Champions League> league cups!! Right. This must be taken into consideration too.

But how then would you guys decide the winner, If Arsenal wins the FA Cup and Chelsea win the Champions League and Tottenham with no trophy? or If Chelsea wins UCL, Arsenal FA Cup and Tottenham win Capital one cup ?
