hilariousetc posted this about the beginning date of the pool the last time. Don't worry, I'm following the topic closely. If you'd like I can send a PM to you when the pool starts to accept participants. 

When will the next pool begin? I missed it last season because I was not properly informed; this season promises to be exciting and entertaining. Guys, let me in, this is where I belong.. 

Ha fair enough. I do enjoy that 'noise' though, specially if it's in a good part of the stadium. Owen really isn't pretty though, was always a choir boy and while Carragher's possibly my all-time favourite Red, I can't really bear listening to him. The banter on Sky sometimes though, I enjoy every now and then. Roy Keane's an idiot half the time and then brilliant another half (nothing to do with the football action of course).


Yeah. It's incredible to read how companies like 3AC are staring down total liquidation when they were as big as it gets. Just goes to show anyone can be successful in a bull market. The list of names of companies going bust is only going to lengthen. There's just this HK firm valued at $3B last month, and just finished raising 80 mill weeks ago, now going bust because BTC dropped 35%? I understand leverage but if they're facing all kinds of spiralling nonsense now makes me wonder just how much gambling these companies really do.

Thanks for taking care of this (and to jeremypwr and Sportsbet, of course).

Think we could tag on a request for Champions League? Qualification starts next week, if you can believe it (qualifying of course, pool group starts September but that's actually little less than 3 months away).

Most commentary and even technical analysis is bullshit. I'd rather have a glass dildo shatter in my arsehole than have to listen to anything Michael Owen has to say. He's one of the most dullest men on the planet.

And to sync up the radio you can just pause the football until it's in time. Probably a bit of a faff but that's why I'd rather just listen to music. You're really not missing much on the commentary. There's only the odd time it's useful for when they're checking something on VAR and you're not sure what's going on or something has happened on the pitch that you're not sure about. A month or so ago they stopped the game for some reason and I had no idea what was going on but it turned out a fan in the stand was having a medical issue so they were getting medics to him. Had to google it after.


It's probably going to keep falling as well, especially if Celsius goes under which I think is very possible. If they manage to come out of this unscathed I've be very surprised. Lots of people are getting spooked by all these recent events and cashing out into fiat which is obviously having a massive knock on effect and is probably going to get a lot worse before it gets better. The fee will be between £25-£50 regardless though. I messaged jeremypwr about getting confirmation on the sponsorship and free bets so when I hear back I'll get the sign-up thread up and running.

@tokes $10 may not be a lot of money but right now it's > 1 mbtc haha.


It appears so. Commentary never really used to be a dealbreaker for me either, I guess the particular local language I hear just sounds so foreign plus I do understand some of it and it seems to be poor quality anyway, they're really just mumbling through and using the same repeat phrases over and over. It goes something like this every 5 minutes:

jongen, jongen, jongen, ay yay yay yay yay to mean practically anything like "boy, boy, boy, oh man what a miss, oh that was bad, oh bad pass"

Radio + broadcast also works bad for me with roughly 5 seconds delay haha.


It's been one of the real subforum successes to my eyes too. Active and an actual lot of pretty decent bastard expert commentary.

Oh and I guess 3mbtc isn't a bad fee considering we're now sub-20k BTC (ouch).

I expect that they will go down. And Norwich will get promoted lol. In recent years it's difficult to imagine different scenario.

Football and music in background - well, that's interesting combination. And for commentary radio isn't needed. Flashscore app commentary for all EPL and for other main leagues.

They must have lost the rights. They had it a year or two ago but I've been with the Spanish one for the last season. Commentary isn't a deal breaker for me. I usually just listen to music instead. You could probably just find a radio station that is covering it I suppose.


I can give people a grace period up to a certain point like I did last season. Maybe I could allow some users to pre-pay but you may have to make up the difference if the price changes drastically before I fix the amount to btc.



The pools have grown with every season so far so I'm hoping we can keep the tradition going. Hoping for at least 50 users this season.

Hello friends, I think you are very excited before the season starts, so I will be there with you hoping that more participants will join the pool.
Last season, I didn't get any hats all season, but I won enough bets.
I think next season I will be in the top 10.

Cool.  And yeah sure, I'll remind you but wouldn't it be embarassing to remind somebody with such a small bet?  Lmao.  I usually remind people if I'm on the losing end.  But when I'm winning, I usually just wait.  I think I've had a couple winning side bets that haven't been paid.  Lol.  But it's alright, really nothing to squabble over.

So yeah, nice to be back in here.  I see this pool has become a success with a growing number of people joining every season.  I think this thing has been running for 5 seasons now?  Time flies...

I'm also going to take part in the pool absolutely. I'm very happy that I won one yellow cap last season. But my target in this season is going to be winning yellow cap together with finishing the pool in top 10. I'd also respect and obey the decision made about the pool entry fee.

I will most probably be on vacation during August as always but I think @hilarious won't say no to someone who at the worst will pay 5-10 September at max (just like last year I think) but I prefer to pay much sooner than that this year hopefully.This is to say that I too am taking part in the upcoming pool and damn how I am eager to compete again after missing the final prize place for just 2 or 3 points I don't remember well,and it felt really great to be the leader of the standings for a couple of weeks in the beginning of the tournament.

Not sure they have the squad to stay in the league at the moment but it is still early and they have enough time to bring additional quality.

I would love them to stay and recover a bit if their rich history but it will not be easy.

Everton is rich club and I expect them to fight for europa league spots this season. Hopefully DCL will be injury free and he means a lot to them.

I am also fine with 3mBTC entry fee

not sure about Fulham, yeah they basically are yoyo, but there are other shitty candidates as well, hopefully Everton will have better season, and fight for Europe, not relegation

what you guys think of Nottingham chances, are they back on winning tracks, or join Fulham in getting relegated? they will be my second fan team, replacing Leeds next season

I will join as well, no matter the fact that I cannot get anything going my way for a few seasons already. I am fine with the higher buy-ins.


Likewise, we are basically a statistical anomaly

I'm happy with the 3 mbtc pool fee, and if there are new people wanting to join and they feel they're priced out because of that, I guess we could ask but I seem to recall the fee not really being an issue when we asked people before (and that was when BTC was a bit more than it is today).

@tokes sure. I'll take you on. You'll have to remind me if I forget though.


Thanks! Yeah I'd happily pay for Dazn, just the one locally available doesn't have ANY football, just pure boxing and Women's Champions League (which actually is free to watch on their own youtube anyway). So it looks like I'll have to look for someone in Canada, might need to tap a few shoulders for that if can't do it on my own (Amazon UK e.g. needs a UK card, which I happen to have from 2016 days but that's now expired and can't be renewed per Brexit haha).

Anyone from forum pool willing to split or offer me a way for EPL/UCL games? (English please) I'm actually even happy to pay for the full thing if I can watch it on my TV or even laptop.


I made a good start last season betting against Arsenal and City in opener, they're both a bit silly when season starts, experimental and very bad at player conditioning.

Fulham, man I really didn't want them back in EPL. Sadly, Liverpool outright not as good as last season (9/1)... now it's 32/10, so no money tied up for me there.

So who won the season for the bragging rights and how much were the prizes?  


Yeah I'm coming in back again and will be joining you guys next season.  I'm find with dropping in at 50 GBP and hopefully we see BTC rise back up and see at least triple that come end of the season next year.  

And who says Fullham goes down?  I got 10 bucks for fun that says they won't..  Give me 3 to 1.  I guess that's more than fair?

Like your Fulham tip, they are as you say, yoyo team. Same goes for their star striker Mitrović. He scores shitload of goals in lower devision, they get promoted, everbody takes him in their fantasy teams and then he can't do anything when playing in the big boys league.

Arsenal game has blunder written all over it. Perfect opportunity to place something on CP.

yoyo team spotted. You know the drill, Fulham to get relegated @ whatever odds you find is free money  and opening day match goes to Arsenal eh, don't think the fans are happy about this, just saw some stats and the Gunners have a woeful record against Palace since the 18/19 season: 1W 5D 2L

I'm fine with 0.0025 BTC if it's not too much for other users. Yeah, BTC now is falling crazy, but I expect that in the end of season rewards may look very sweet .
Canadian DAZN doesn't have EPL. There is Fubo.TV in Canada with EPL, Serie A and more sports, it costs about $15. But I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure is it possible to sign up there and use it with VPN. German and Spanish DAZN with all their content would be great, but absence of English language is big disadvantage.

I'm definitely in for next season too, it's also better now that BTC is dropping in terms of value and we can hope for a run towards to the end for the season, but that'd be advantageous to only the set of winners.

I'd also root for an early sign up, maybe we can get much users.
