Although I'm currently leading, I vote for more people getting the prizes. Makes it more interesting for a wider group of people.

Switched my Tottenham pick from 0-1 to 0-2. I'm sure 0-2 was the majority pick and I hope leea and Woodie have the same.
I still think it will be closer than that, but this way feels safer to get that 2mBTC freebet.

15.5 points for me so far in match week one. We still have one game to finish off the round, Leicester vs Tottenham. Should be a good game, I’m going to sit down and watch it.
Regarding the prize pay outs, I don’t mind what we do.

There's 0.15305160 in the pot so far.
Here's what we can probably have for the top ten:
0.05
0.03
0.02
0.015
0.01
0.005
0.005
0.005
0.005
0.005
= 0.15
+ whatever is left as a consolation prize for the highest overall weekly yellow cap.
Or if you wanted to do top 5 we could have:
0.05
0.04
0.03
0.02
0.01
= 0.15
+ whatever is left as a consolation prize for the highest overall weekly yellow cap.
I don't mind either way. If more people sign up we could have some more consolation prizes where we have another five places where you just win your entry fee back.

It is confusing for me as old player to find info, imagine how for a new player 
I know all of us don't care but I'm asking because I am thinking of new players or even people thinking about joining.
As a new player, I don't really care whether the top 10 or 15 places get a reward. I'm here for the fun, and if I win something, even better. I know all of us don't care but I'm asking because I am thinking of new players or even people thinking about joining.
Do we have any supporters here from Leicester I wonder, actually I always wonder in La Liga who are the supporters other than the big teams but since casperBGD left (he supports Valencia), I find no one I know well outside.
How about in this 50+ pool? Any supporter who is NOT from the big teams?
I generally dislike big teams, but since City is the only EPL team with Croatian players, I have no other option but to support them. That said, it's hard not to like Leicester after what they did back in 2015/2016. Everyone loves a Cinderella story. How about in this 50+ pool? Any supporter who is NOT from the big teams?

A floop Jackson will score more goals than your world best striker G. Jesus for the second season in a row - 1.5mbtc side bet.
Jackson and Palmer will have more G/A than Kai Havertz and Saka ( you're already 3 ahead) 1mbtc side bet.
Here. We. Land!!!!!

Not strictly true. I posted them late but a fair few rounds before the end of the season and it was the same top 10 payments as the season before, just without the 11-15 consolation prizes.
Ah ok, my mistake but my point was it was not easy to find for regulars, or maybe its just me:) Maybe if we can post in OP or signup thread OP after we finalize this time then its better, just my suggestion
Yeah, I agree. I'll update the OP once I finalise things. I'll give people a couple of weeks maybe a month tops to get their payments in. I don't think it will be more than ten places though.

And we all thought City or Arsenal or Liverpool were gonna be the big scorers then Brighton said hello guys did you forget about us?
I also petition to remove mafia, they are everywhere!!

Another last moment change cost me points in this round, I changed prediction in Chelase vs Man City from 0:2 to 1:3 
I expected more goals in this match but Premier League is just getting started and City machine is not firing from all weapons right away.
So far Brighton is the only team that scored 3 goals but we have one more match left Leicester vs Tottenham.
There is a big competition on top of Superbru leaderboard, and I want to see Mafia removed from top

BTW OP how many prize spots do we have? Last season I thought 20, and ended up 10. Are we having the same now? I don't see anything in OP seems like very old info, maybe put the link there?
It is the same as last season for now, the info was shared in the sign up thread:Sportsbet have very generously offered to sponsor the pool again with 0.1BTC jackpot and a 2 mbtc freebet for the highest weekly cap of each round, plus exclusive entry to Sportsbet's weekly promotions in Games & Rounds. 100% of the money in the pot will be split between the highest 1-10 places. How many places we pay and how much the prizes are will depend on how many people sign up.
We got 46 sign ups which is up there with amounts from previous pools, so I would expect it stays the same with top ten players winning prizes.- Jay -
I don't really wanna do more than ten places. I will work out the actual prizes asap after everyone has paid. A few people have promised to pay and we usually always get some latecomers. If anyone else is thinking of playing just make sure your picks are in on Superbru.

Halaand had one chance and buried it, unlike Jackson. We're pressing hard, but not taking our chances will cost us in the end, but I believe the second half will be positive
It would have at least 2 - 1 by now in Chelsea's favor. I missed first 6 minutes of the 2nd half. Looking for an exciting game. City needs a bad start LOLThis squad badly needs Osimhen and Felix, and we need to get it done as soon as possible before PSG does. We're removing Lukaku and Sterling from our wages to save around £700k, which should be enough to cover Osimhen and Felix's wages plus some leftover change
If we don't get our attack sorted out before next game I would know we're not a serious club.

Igebotz is a draw possible? After conceding the goal Chelsea is pressing hard. Haaland is a machine man LOL
[Update]
Come on Jackson. First off-side to miss a score and just before the first half whistle he missed another a golden opportunity to score. It's not his day.

Jackson's offside track awareness is poor; these are basics that every striker should know. Despite seeing Palmer aiming to shoot, he remained offside. Lol If we had Osimhen, we would be 2-3 goals ahead in the first half.

I am not sure, but since there are more than 50 people in the pool, we may have more than 10 winners.
This is why the places are not set in stone from the beginning. The expected pay out is to the top ten, can be extended if high number of people join. During the middle of the season when all buy ins should have been made the exact amount and placed are known.50 players in in line with the average amount for previous seasons, I would expect it stays at 1-10 but we have to wait and see.

Multiple winners, multiple freebets if I remember correctly, similar thing happened multiple times last season.
Just as it's been for the past few seasons, multiple winners = multiple Free Bets.Regarding the prize structure, I usually leave that up to hilariousandco to decide (feel free to voice your opinions on this).
August 18, 2024, 10:35:41 AM
Here is the sign up thread for last season[1], I think it was made very clear that we will have ten winners:
Right, but I think it's possible that the prize will be shared between more than 10 people. The first place jackpot prize will be a guaranteed 0.1BTC and then the rest of the money will be split between 2nd-10th places.
This is also from the sign-up topic posted by hilariousandco:
The payouts for last season were as follows and this season will be similar but of course it all depends on how many people play but it will be between 10-20 max:
I am not sure, but since there are more than 50 people in the pool, we may have more than 10 winners.

If my memory serves me right, the exact price amounts were also confirmed before the season ended.

Noticed some patterns in the match day1 games that have been played so far. First game, the home team won and the next game the away side won. The pattern continued up till the Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth game (since they had a 1:1 draw) but the next game kicked off from where the pattern stopped. Let see what other games are going to bring to the table. Results so far hasn't favoured me for an exact scoreline prediction but I'll get there eventually.
Ps: Don't take this too serious, just messing around to see what favours me lol.

Lol. This is exactly how FTX pool punters analyse their draws: they look to event patterns and dates, rather than team form, to make their predictions. It was a really eventful day of football. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but the excitement isn't there yet; all of the games I've seen have been boring so far. Let's see if Chelsea can deliver something amazing today.
And just a quick question, in a scenario where 2 or many players are tied for first place in a game week , do all players get the 2mb freebet

Actually what is shared as you quoted above needs to be black and white
' How many places we pay and how much the prizes are will depend on how many people sign up. '
Last time I asked a similar question, was told we shall have 10 paying places which is not bad considering the size of the pool
But it's also not a bad idea to have this information deliberately updated in the OP to show it's a new season to avoid these questions

Heh, what a start. Everything going my way, 4 exact results so far. 16 points out of 7 games, I can't ask for much more.
With 3 games remaining, I hope to keep the lead for that tasty 2mBTC freebet.
Am pretty sure you feeling the pressure for heading a pack of 50+ members , and great start btw...and I think from the 7games I too had 4 games correctly predicted and still not enough for a top spot With 3 games remaining, I hope to keep the lead for that tasty 2mBTC freebet.
the level of competitiveness in this pool is out of this world!!And just a quick question, in a scenario where 2 or many players are tied for first place in a game week , do all players get the 2mb freebet
But still we have to wait for the official update from the @jeremypwr.
