Premier league is getting more and more interesting year after year. I can understand that for example Serie A isn't getting much love, I wanted to participate in that one so Trofo gets another participant in the pool but I just can't be arsed to put results on random throughout 38 rounds.
~snip

agree on this one, been Serie A member last year, and mostly put random picks from round 10, for example, just based on odds, still thinking about this season

and yeah, if you watch Premier league, this is a bit larger fee, but nothing to hold you from joining, and SB bonus is here as well, while prizes are really good, although I do think that next June BTC will be lower priced than this June
nevertheless, in the end 1BTC is 1BTC always

But I think everybody watches Prem, the fee is really low if you consider that the competition lasts almost a year, and it's actually a great way to gamble a bit of your BTC because it will be worth 3x what it is currently by the end of the competition Grin

Add to it the SB bonuses, it really is a no-brainer for me and I'm surprised we don't have a lot more interest.

I guess people do have lives.

What do you mean lives Shocked

Am I missing something out there while hanging around here and gambling?

I got so used with the bircointalk that I visit every day, even if it is just for few minutes from my mobile phone while waiting in the line for the groceries. I am only checking watchlist topics though so I can miss new topics easy but I never miss posts in the existing threads or when someone pings me with my username.

26 people have paid so far so halfway there. We'll get 30 users but really was hoping for 50 so spread the word. I'm sure most of us know a friend or someone else who would play so if ten of us could bring in someone else we'd soon get to 50.

Mind you, I've put plenty of win-to-nil predictions, hedging the incredible Specials on Matchday 1 Sportsbet has put out (433/1 for BTTS on all games and 366/1 on a goal in each half).

This thread also gets bumped fairly often, so hard to imagine regulars unaware of it now.

Both hilarius and me are using "old" threads for our respective pools so I am sure all the gambling section regulars have to be aware of them. Right?
Regarding those specials you mentioned, go read Sportsbet twitter or my last post for nice small surprise. Could have worded it better

Maybe it's psychological. Bitcoin having such a higher value than it did this time last year might make some feel like it's more expensive than last year. But again, we have a week before the season starts and there are still some who haven't registered. 18 members have registered on Superbru, but the address shows at least 25 member have paid the entrance fee. Hopefully we can get at least five more to join in the next week.

Well the fee is actually much less in terms of bitcoin amount. If you think bitcoin is going to rally this year then the pot is going to get much bigger throughout the season. The annoying thing is there's always people wanting to play after the season starts and I know that will happen again.

You see all the regulars in the various league threads, and then come to a pool like this for a relatively paltry sum and disappointing responses.

Some 'regulars' in this gambling section probably dont gamble at all Roll Eyes

but yeah the responses was kinda dissapointing. I was expecting somewhere between 35-40 this time because we had 47 players last season

It must have something to do with the fact that 0.0045BTC (last year's entry fee) is written all over the OP so people think that's the fee. It should be updated to reflect the new season and adjusted 0.002BTC fee.

Next to nobody will be reading the op in here.

No! Heresy! People posting in Bitcoin forums who don't use Bitcoin, and gambling section who don't gamble? But you're right, I feel like I'm missing some users who were active users a year ago and not anymore. Pamoldar/somethingbitcoingirl reappeared recently, for example. I guess people do have lives.

There's obviously a lot of gamblers here but they will be dwarfed by shitposters just looking for an easy avenue to hit their signature campaign quotas. Lots of people here know little to nothing about bitcoin or probably care much about it but they can rack up a lot of posts just talking about sports.

I think we will manage to get at least 40 participants this time,we are in a vacation time,July and mostly August are the months where people mostly go on vacation so probably some of the members are not aware yet of the new upcoming pool as they are enjoying their vacation.This year pool is gonna be at least as good as last year one.

Shouldn't affect last year's participants, who'd have gotten a PM about it (that's how I got alerted).

The entry fee for last year was 0.0045 btc and the value for it in fiat was pretty much the same as the current entry fee. This is also a year long contest so its actually pretty cheap though

That would be 0.16 btc prizepool if we ended up getting only 30 players this season

. I'm surprised the pool isn't much more popular given how many people probably bet on the PL every week and it's a one off fee so it's not like you'll be chasing your losses. Maybe most people just aren't aware of it. I doubt the fee is that much of an issue given you can make that quite easily if you're on a signature campaign.

Yeah, it surprised me two seasons ago and again last one when Sportsbet came in and put down whopping big prizes. You see all the regulars in the various league threads, and then come to a pool like this for a relatively paltry sum and disappointing responses. The La Liga and Serie A pools (who have also good "action" in the league threads) suffer from the same.

I recognize about half the members from the euros pool. I hope more of them join so we can push the total over 30

21 people paid so far. We should get 30 as there's a handful of people who have promised to pay. Was kinda hoping we got 50 again though so the pool would be at 0.2.

Lots of people talks about gambling but very few among us actually gamble with significant amounts money. I believe this buy in will be too big for some of the guys on the edge but I don't mind it in the least. 50 is a bit on high side for my liking and I would be very happy if had around 30 players.

Don't you think this is quite ironic? Almost every second person on the forum participates in a signature campaign, and in fact the cost of the registration fee equates to one week of payment. I do not think that with the money earned in this way, someone pays the bills for food, I would say that many people spend this modest bonus on their small hobbies in the form of betting or buying trinkets, etc.

For example, I spend this money on betting and paying for services such as protonmail, and I'm pretty sure my views are no different from those of the regulars in the gambling section. So I agree with the statement that if someone cannot afford to pay the modest entry fee for the whole season, then they should refrain from betting altogether.

Think of it as buying match tickets. You don't want to pay, don't bother going to the match. Most clubs will get you good seats for $60/match.

Say WHAT?!?! I never got a shirt. With my luck the statute of limitations has expired.

Are you new here? Myself/hilarious must've made 10 posts/PMs about this over the last year Cheesy

Anyway, I know for certain that I'll be giving away the NEW Southampton shirts in my Prediction threads this season.

The games start in a week, but only 11 people joined the pool so far. Come on, guys, let's do this! We had almost 50 people for the previous season, and it was a great competition and a nice atmosphere with so many people taking part. Why isn't it the case this time? Is it just about the fee, or am I missing something? If it's the fee, I want to remind you that a year ago we paid 0.0045 BTC easily. And it's 9 months worth of rounds, so it's only $9 per month on gambling at the current BTC price. I really hope a lot more people will join in the remaining time.

17 people have paid so far and another 5 have said they will pay asap.

Quote from: DireWolfM14 on August 06, 2021, 11:09:17 AM

I don't remember what the entry fee was last year, but I don't recall it being much less than this year's in fiat terms, so I kind of doubt that the expense is the issue. I hope that the short notice isn't why people aren't joining. Hilariousandco has already mentioned that he'll give folks some time to come up with the payment. There's still a week left before the season begins, so hopefully we'll get some more folks to join.

Quote from: hilariousandco on August 03, 2021, 03:32:24 AM

Like last time I will give people a grace period of a month or so to pay if that'll help someone get the money together.

The entry fee was 0.0045, which was a little under £40 at the time I believe. 0.002 is a little over £60 right now with the price of bitcoin hovering above £30k, but it was moving between £50-55 the week I announced the thread. I think more people signed up last year as there was extra prizes of a shirt for everyone that joined so that was worth the price alone. I'm sure we'll get 30+ but a few previous members have said they're not playing this year. The fee really isn't much considering it's an entire season of fun and you can't chase your losses since it's a one-off fee. If you're on a signature campaign then you'll almost certainly make it back just by posting in this thread throughout the season anyway and if you win the weekly round then the $50 bet almost covers the entry fee. Hopefully bitcoin will keep rallying throughout the season and the prize pot will be more valuable as well. Put it this way, at least one person is going to win the 0.1 jackpot and that's worth the gamble of £50-60 in my opinion.

I have also just joined the pool.. I'm sure a few more users would joined over the weekend and during next week.

I really can't wait for the league to start again.

Guys, I have a question ... I'm not sure if this has been discussed already, but I'll ask you anyway. What if, hypothetically, I want to increase my chances? Can I double or triple the entry fee? The question is more related to ethics, since if we are guided by logic, then we can assume that ten people who made a double entry fee will increase the total prize pool. However, only your main Superbru account can participate in the weekly Yellow Cap draw.

I think it's been discussed before but I'm not following it any further. But in essence, at the time regarding multiple entries with the same entry fee, I personally disagreed about it and again, I don't know what the outcome of the discussion at that time was whether it was approved or not.
