Bitcoin price is already too high against dollar. So, I think that the prize in the second option is still very good. And the second option would be much better as the competition among the middle positions can still continue till the last weeks.

Being on the 44th place right now, I agree with any breakdown because my chances of finishing ITM are slim anyway.

On the bright side, I already more than doubled(on Sportsbet.io) what I paid for the participation. So, I have no regrets whatsoever. Grin

I’m having a tough time in the pool, really doing badly tbh but it’s fun & I enjoy playing, plus we have the weekly prize for finishing in 1st place so there is that. I’m in 43rd place dude so 1 spot above you Undecided

Just going to do my predictions now, hopefully I do better this weekend.

I'm also not too far away from you. But I think that there are still many weeks to climb to upper positions.

Being not in a prize spot, I would go for Top 10 prizes,,, I just like the idea of more people winning and do not think I have a chance.

I do like the top yellow cap prize though as it is a big sum of money to tempt people to make exact predictions and get lucky. We should not count double rounds and I remember last season we had it and we discounted that week's score right? So no problem there.

+ maybe 0.01 for the highest overall yellow cap. Or if anyone has any other price breakdowns I'm open to suggestions. I'll probably go with the top 10 though unless most seemingly want the other.

I would drop the prize for highest yellow cap. We already have that 50$ prize for every yellow cap so the highest yellow cap already got something. We always have 1 or 2 double game weeks in PL so you are basically giving extra prize to that person that gets luckiest during double game week.

No preference about rewarding 5 or 10 players. That 0.1 for first place sounds juicy but I would love to reward a couple more places. Though decision.

How shall we split the prize pot up? I got the 0.1 in sponsorship from Sportsbet and I was thinking we either do top 5

A)

1 0.1
2 0.05
3 0.02
4 0.01
5 0.005 = 0.185

I like this prize arrangement.

Me too (even though the gap between me and 1st place is a whopping 20 points and if I do cross that threshold in one round then I might as well collect a cash prize from superbru Tongue

)

How shall we split the prize pot up? I got the 0.1 in sponsorship from Sportsbet and I was thinking we either do top 5 or top 10. Obviously more people get a chance to win with 10 but the prizes are diluted. 0.1 as the jackpot would be a nice chunk of change for the winner but only 5 people can win total. I'm open to either:

A)

1 0.1
2 0.05
3 0.02
4 0.01
5 0.005 = 0.185

or

B)

1 0.05
2 0.04
3 0.03
4 0.02
5 0.01
6 0.005
7 0.004
8 0.003
9 0.002
10 0.001 = 0.165

+ maybe 0.01 for the highest overall yellow cap. Or if anyone has any other price breakdowns I'm open to suggestions. I'll probably go with the top 10 though unless most seemingly want the other.

I was so close to going with a draw as I needed to get either that or the correct score and hope nobody got a close result to win the yellow cap.

Yeah I felt you breathing down my neck. Literally Wink

So glad more people didn't smell the draw.

Quote from: swogerino on October 19, 2021, 03:56:54 AM

Most people backed the home win. People might start to lose faith in them now though. Shocked at Man U losing more points. I bet Ronaldo is starting to regret his decision. I really thought he'd turn the team around.

I went through my bout of no-confidence Arsenal early on but even I've changed my mind about them recently, especially since they seemed to have gotten back the Auba-Lazazette pair. They only had a bit of time on the pitch together but everything changed when the latter came on.

Man U shock? I told my kid (who supports them) buying Sancho won't be of any use if they don't play him like they continue not to play van de Beek. And Ronaldo's a good striker but he's not gonna do OGS a "buy Robbie van Persie" and win spin.

Congrats on being first and with a certain lead in points.This week was difficult for many but yet the top ten are only divided by only a bunch of points and the next round is almost here because the first game is after tomorrow.Manchester United needs a bit of time unless Cristiano finds harmony with his new team mates and then we will see a good Manchester United.

Two people went with draw and I was the only one that had Crystal Palace to win. I thought I had it already until Arsenal scored but well I wont get the Yellow Cap either way even with close score but it would be nice to be the only one that get points from that match lol. Anyway, you are doing way better than last season by getting the 2nd spot

So. Arsenal-Palace. Conundrum. Only won once -- but it was against Spurs, and then came away with arguably tricky draws vs Brentford, Hammers and even Leicester before the break. Surely they deserve better than 14th, but Arsenal also had a good run. I feel like it's a draw on this one, anything goes after 2 weeks pause.

After very bad performances from Arsenal this season I am surprised that only 2 people in our pool went for draw and only 1 person went for a win. That was a huge upset in the works coming until of course Lacazette scored the equalizer with second last kick of the game. So the game week ends and the table moved very little. I climbed a few spots but still so far away but at least now 4 spots from the exact middle

Bear in mind,,, a few people seem to stop playing so the "real" middle is actually 22.

It looks I was the only one to believe in an Arsenal win yesterday night.I thought lately they have played well but yesterday they could not just keep up with the game.A draw was the ideal result based on the game,anyway I hope I forget this week very soon as it was a real nightmare for me going from second to ninth or tenth don't know.

No, a lot of people took the win if you check the results, only 3 or 4 people chose a draw or Crystal Palace win!

Most reports say Palace deserved to win actually but the quality of strikers in Aubameyeng and Lacazette was the key difference. Only I am not sure why Laca was not played earlier,,, is he not fit?

There were really surprising results in the Premier League last week. And it was a big surprise for me that I climbed a few places in the standings even though I ended the week with only 7.5 points. From my point of view, being at the 35th place is a big disappointment. Let's see if I'm going to be able to make the predictions that will help me climb to upper places in the rest of the season.

Anyway, came across a few Salah clips, apparently the King was in London last night to give away the Earthshot prize (and the winners said: "Thank you, you'll never walk alone." haha). Never heard the guy actually give a speech, everything I hear is from LFC TV, so a small gem if anyone wants to see, all over Twitter.

Also, gave a few tips to the prince on how to be king.

2 minutes until kickoff and I'm backing a Newcastle stun against Spurs. The stadium atmosphere will definitely overwhelm Spurs and make them wilt.

Surprisingly I'm the only one making this gamble along with jayce

It's too early to conclude this match lol. But yeah I was very sure Newcastle could show something in the front of their new owner, but somehow Son - Kane find their shape again...

Oh damn it's 2-3

Of course we can't expect miracles from Newcastles right now.Until the new management starts to bring really new good players Newcastle will remain the same,no matter if the new owners have a lot of money to spend.Of course speaking for the future Newcastle can also be a second Manchester City and can be a really strong contender for the title but starting next year as for this one I don't think they stand any chance.

I am thinking the same plus I am expecting some goals in this one as well. Though pick for the pool but at least I know what I am putting on my ticket - both to score @1.65. Newcastle has been quite attacking this season and now they are playing to impress new owners, both Saint-Max and Wilson are ready and expected in first 11. I am thinking Newcastle scores 2 goals today and Spurs should be good enough to match them.

In the end I went for a slim Spurs win, but the goals flowed in the first half in the end, so happy for the result at least, though 2-1 as usual was the best pick of the game -- Spurs fans will be pleased their goalscorers found their scoring boots, think the atmosphere actually helped them more than Newcastle!

Tough week to negotiate really, and still another confusing pick for Monday left. Don't you just love the unpredictability of post-international games?

It was my initial pick too BEFORE the break, but seems like Spurs and Leicester benefited most from 2 weeks away from league action =) Of course, I say this with 15 minutes left on the clock and we all know EPL is where the magic happens in these last 15% of the game...
