I’ve had a paid finishing position every pool we’ve done, pretty sure I was even top at around Xmas this season but I’ve been awful ever since. I will obviously be taking part next season (which is announced today as starting 12th September).
Suppose we might have to start paying to enter soon, hilarious?

The main pool seem tight for 2nd position if I have some good picks in the last round. I will need at-least 2.5 more points than MoSalah in this round to change the currant order.
4th or 5th place is still open for hahay if you and Mbitr slips to score decent points.

Yep , very tight for 2nd and 3rd and again for 4th and 5th - Sunday is going to be fun ?
Got to say I’m feeling the pressure
@hilarious - I’m definitely in for next year , I’ve really enjoyed it . Plenty of ups and downs , which certainly makes life interesting !
Thanks for having me in the pool gang and I’m already looking forward to next season

Consolation prizes are still up for grabs for everyone so don't give up.
I like how you keep pitching this Consolation 😜Well I think some people have forgotten about them and feel like they have nothing left to play for so you can at least try claw your entry fee back.
By the way, looking at the current fund we have for the pool, which spot is getting how much prize?
I think these are them:
0.04 1st
0.03 2nd
0.02 3rd
0.01 4th
0.005 5th
Consolation prizes:
0.005 1st
0.0025 2nd
0.0025 3rd
0.0025 4th
0.0025 5th
I posted them in the thread somewhere shortly after the pool started but they're not coming up in search.

Good luck! I'll be very happy to at least match the amount sponsored for the season, and maybe a bit more because I did pretty well betting-wise too, happy to put it all back here, if I don't lose it in Champs League haha!
Always appreciate the offer but Hhampuz managed to hook us up with a tasty 0.1 for the pot from Roobet so thanks to him for that. Hopefully we can get the pot to at least 0.2 with user contributions. As long as we get 30 sign-ups it should be doable. Currently 30 players are in this seasons pool but a handful will naturally drop out but I know there was a few people who wanted to join the pool after it started and with the pot being boosted with 0.1 that might attract a bit more interest. I'll announce the new pool after I've paid out the winners next week so we can maximise the sign ups before the new season apparently starts on 12th September. It'll probably be around £25-30 again. I'd like to raise the price a bit ideally but I don't know how many people would drop out because of it. £37.5 is currently 0.005 which is a nice number to have and we'd only need 20 users for another 0.1. 0.004 is currently £30 but 0.005 is a nice round number. I'll see what the price of bitcoin is at when I announce the thread and take into consideration what price users are ok with.

I haven’t done too well in my pool debut season but it’s something to do & I hope to do much better next season. Count me in, I’m definitely up for renewal.

Is there an extra CL place because Liverpool get automatic entry for winning last year or did they get that this year? The break has me confused.
Not so unfortunately, the extra spot only goes to the holders if they don't qualify via the league -- I know this quite well only because my kid actually supports the enemy (Utd) and he keeps asking me this, plus also the rule only came into being because of Liverpool and Istanbul (I know, I know, golden child of Europe =p).
Oh and I'm happy to renew sponsorship, if you guys still like this pool next season (of course we do, right?)!
I'm talking to a couple of sites trying to get as much as I can to bolster the pot, but if they fall through you can certainly have it again.

we're gonna have high-stakes football matches next weekend and a thrilling final round in our pool...couldn't ask for more
Well maybe not for toke. He could probably forget to do his picks and still come out number one. Maybe someone will get a high score though to grab a consolation prize so get studying the fixtures as you still have something to play for.
Awful Manchester United is now leaking wounds as they lost few more points and hopes for next years Champions League entry now Chelsea and Leicester both have good chance for qualifying in pool today we have no one with draw or West ham win what a shocker result for all of us.
But United is third rn... Had to rub my eyes and look again. Lol. How did that happen?
It's LCFC and Chelsea fighting for the last CL slot.
Edit: Well it's close. United has to win their last match to secure a CL slot... And damn it's vs LCFC.
If Chelsea lose and Leicester win then the latter will end up in third place. Is there an extra CL place because Liverpool get automatic entry for winning last year or did they get that this year? The break has me confused.

@toma yeah, urgh, I actually hate doing those hedging bets, but right now with all the promos going on, I'm also raking in the freebets huzzah!
Too early to congratulate 4th/5th spot but let's all do our best to get bonus spot eh?
@hilarious if the final week of games is as exciting as yesterday's 8-goal thriller, then yes, I'm definitely on. Probably going to throw away money on some unlikely bets. Maybe Liverpool to score 4+ goals, parlayed with a Watford win and Leicester win, should be a tidy 20/1 or so bet, might even squeeze in some smaller bets for parlay boosts.

A draw is enough for united CL qualification. If they don't lose against Leicester they are 3rd or 4th for sure, I actually believe they played their previous game so poorly because they were aware of this and didn't wan't risk loosing that important 1 point advantage against Leicester. United looses that CL spot only if they loose and and Chelsea wins their game.
Chelsea has a tough match against Wolverhampton. Both teams need points here, Chelsea for CL and Wolves for Europa League. This one should be a good game.

@toma: Liverpool over 2.5 for 1.6 looks really good value agree, but I actually think 21/10 for the straight win is even better value. We did lose our 100% home streak already but I know the entire team want to "deserve" getting the trophy tonight.
good call, and pretty good win you got last night thx to Liverpool and Roma (:@Tomahawk that's probably the easiest money you have/would make this week
among the "EZ wins" of the week for sure although serie A has been a bit kinder in my bet slips than the EPLThere's only 7.5 points between me in fifth place and examplens in tenth. The top three spots have probably been claimed by the current top three though but 4th and 5th are all to play for.

Hard to say really, but Watford probably have it the hardest. I'll probably watch that match.
would recommend not doing this unless you literally have nothing better to do. 90% of the time watford games are completely one-sided and turn out to be a training match for their rivals causing you to wonder why the hell you spent X amount of time watching that borefest 
source: been there, done thatThey might be boring but they're fighting for survival so it's probably all or nothing for them. I'll probably watch the Manchester/Leicester game now though since shitty United drew today and they're only separated by a point so the winner will grab the Champion's League spot.
Didn't watch the Liverpool game but at 5-3 I wish I did now. Had notifications on and when I saw it was 4-3 I was hoping Chelsea could come back to grab another and get me points for the draw. Final round now so no games left until Sunday. It's gonna be pretty interesting seeing all those scores roll in at the same time especially since it's so close in the pool. There's only 7.5 points between me in fifth place and examplens in tenth. The top three spots have probably been claimed by the current top three though but 4th and 5th are all to play for.

That's a great value, If you ask me. This game should easily be a goal fest, Chelsea win/draw could also be worth it, looking at what is at stake for both teams. I went for a 2 - 2 draw in the pool, btw.
If you ask me we should stop betting on premier league for remainder of the season or try with some upsets. Latest results don't make any sense and if somebody is in profit, total respect. I am able to hit a bet here and there but it looks like an uphill battle. I will probably just play a bunch of over 2.5 goals bets for last round and hope for the best.
Yeah right, things are getting really crazy in the EPL and the last game might be more weird, over 2.5 goals might be the way to go!

gonna go with the following in a single:
good value or what? the match today should motivate Klopp's squad to go back to being that good 'ol liverpool before winning the title, right? good chance for them to crush chelsea's european dream

@DeathAngel I kind of did a sucker bet on West Ham for about 11/1 and the penalty gave me high hopes but I think United should still edge this out after having levelled. No chances for the past 10 minutes though so maybe I get another lucky strike at the death, is Antonio on a purple streak or what?
