DireWolfM14 signed up. One more person needed to hit 30.

tomahawk9 said he will pay by the start as did BitcoinGirl.Club mole0815, and ulven. BitSat19 said he will pay by the 12th so I'll give him until then to pay. Again, if anyone wants to play but cannot pay before the 12th I will give you a months grace period to get the funds in.

Nothing personal against second accounts, though the 50 a week prize should go for only 1 stated account... Feels slightly unfair for others who only have the one chance, but again, I'm not going to complain. I wouldn't have the time to make more than 1 pick as it is.

Wonder what it would take to get 30 signups. Prize is already SO good.

Well only one person can win the weekly free bet so it doesn't matter too much there. I guess you've got an advantage if you use two accounts with different scores as you've doubled your chance of winning but you've still got to do great on one of them to win. As someone else mentioned, it's probably going to be a disadvantage having more than one account, especially if you're not consistent on one of them.

Ok so...  If I buy another entry and just do the same picks over and over and get first, does my other entry automatically get second?  I'm def thinking of getting another entry or two with that overlay rn.

I guess so. I'll have to think about it. I wouldn't want someone having five accounts and then winning the top 5 spots but obviously it's risky having more than one account with the same picks because if you don't do good then you won't win anything at all. I'll listen to others opinions on it but it's not like it's something I could enforce strictly. Maybe we could allow it for this season and see how it goes.

Second account is giving some small advantage for weekly prize for sure. I don't see how it could help to win the main rewards though. There is just so many games and combinations that even 10 accounts would not help that much.

I would prefer if it is one buy in per player for maximum fairness but it isn't a big problem for me.

I agree with this, I see having 2 accounts as a way to get advantage but it has a cost as well.
Bottom line is that there's no way of stopping it anyway, therefore we might as well say that it's allowed.

It will be used to farm weeklies and weekly is a free bet that you still have to win in order to get the money. So I'd say go for it, it brings more money to the pot.

I am in. Some nice perks this season. Can we have more than 1 entry?

Sure. As many as you like.



That's a bit unfair with the overlay, don't you think?  We're giving him multiple opportunities to get different combos to score nicely each week.


I don't think so, it's not as easy you think, it's a 38-week long game and it's not just a win or lose prediction, even If it were, I still strongly doubt it will increase their chance of winning a top price (except the most points for the weekly yellow cap winners) by 1% per each additional entry, I'm not good at numbers, maybe someone can help out with that.

EDIT: I totally missed @Trofo's post before writing this 🤦‍♂️

Yeah it we don’t get the full allocation of sign ups just remove the bottom couple of paid spots. That way not much changes & we still have a few well paid spots at the top to chase.

Probably will do that if we don't hit the target. Hopefully we don't need to as there are a handful of people who did say they would pay, but you always get some no shows but I'm sure there will be a few last minute joiners as well. As I said before, it anyone wants to play but don't think they will be able to get the money together before Saturday I could give a months grace period or so if this is essential, but again, don't bankrupt yourself to join.

There's nothing stopping anyone from having multiple accounts anyway so it wouldn't really be enforceable much like the forum deals with alts, but it's only an advantage if you're good, but if someone is willing to pay twice I don't see an issue. They could just be doubling the money they throw away or do good on one and not the other which could lead to average results overall. Either way I personally don't have an issue with it but maybe others disagree. Personally I would just prefer more money in the pot but I would be surprised if one person won something on both accounts unless they both entered the same picks week after week. If I was to have two though I'd probably go with slightly experimental or riskier scores on one.

A week to go now guys. 28 people have signed up so lets try get that to 30 before Monday. A few users have promised to pay so we should hit 30 users at least but we need 34 to give the prizes I stated in the sign-up thread. If we don't hit at least 30 I'll probably have to get rid of a couple of the eight and ninth place pay outs.

I am in. Some nice perks this season. Can we have more than 1 entry?

Sure. As many as you like.

Am I getting 2 shirts. I might do 2nd entry just for that.

I can't see why not but I can ask for clarification. It hasn't been stated to me that it's only one shirt per person, but if they do say that's the case you could just sign up to Superbru with a different account and get one sent to a friends address or something. 
Yes, ask please. Just to be clear on that. Thanks.

I've PMd them about clarification on the prizes.

Come on guys, only a week to sign up now. Put your money where your mouth is, I see loads of people posting in the gambling section. Prove that you like to gamble & not just post crap for your signature pay.

It’s a season long competition, really fun with lots of paid prizes.

If anyone have suggestions for some sidebets I am open to it. Lets go.

I'm sure someone will bet you something. I know there were a few side bets going on last season.

Another person signed up. Nearly a week to go now. As I said above, if anyone is struggling to get the money together before the start of the season let me know and I may give you a months grace period if that's all you need, though I would rather have the money in before so I can work out the full prizes. spread the word if you can as I'm sure everyone knows someone who would like to play.

Two more users signed up. 25 users paid now. Hopefully we can get 30 by the end of the week.

You might have got an email from superbru to join the restarted pool. Disregard that. It was the only way I could contact all the previous users to see if they were interested in joining the new one. The pool we will be using is the one I sent you via PM.



Like what the mods did to the WO thread..?  Dunno..

Anyway, yeah the suggestion sounded dumb in hindsight...  And desperate.  Lol.  But if nobody else wants to join then we'll have an overlay on the prizes.  Works for the guys who joined.

Only an admin can do that and as far as I'm aware that's the only thread that was given such treatment. I don't think it's required or necessary here. Just keep spreading the word about the pool and I'm sure we can get a handful of new users.
Today I receive a message from superbru for joining again this pool and my son is really feeling good about this pool as well so hopefully before start I will send fees and join because right now have some tough time after very long lockdown but I will manage this all as my sone really love to join again.

It would be nice to have you on board again but don't bankrupt yourself trying to join if you struggle to pay for it. If there's anyone who's wanting to join but might not be able to pay before the start of the season then let me know and I could give you a month or so extra to pay. Users can always be removed from the pool if they fail to do so, but again, don't get yourself into debt just to play.
