whaaat? Pamoldar changed his username? I didn't know you could do that here. Question: can we still call you Pamoldar? D:

And is there anyone who are into FJM? Make sure you make your picks.
Done  Cool

Mousset - Aubameyang - Richarlison - Abraham - R.Jimenez - Mané - Callum Wilson.


About the pool, i'm expecting a close game between Sheffield vs West Ham so, a draw.


O McBurnie - Aubameyang - D Lewin - Abraham - R.Jimenez - Mané - C Wilson

My picks for FJM7 Just two different from you so we both can go for five Wink

Good picks.  And you already got one right..  I'd pick Salah over Mane tho.  There was a small window when he wasn't getting the goals in but he's back imo.

Edit:  Two down.

A boring first half. I do not see in this match we will find any excitements at all. We can expect a 1 - 0 win for any team or a draw with either a 0 - 0 or a 1 - 1. I do not see any 2 - 0 or a 2 - 1 win for Sheffs. I gone with 2 - 1 for Sheffs and it seems I made a wrong decision. I hope I am wrong here, at least 1 or 1.5 points from this match would be nice.

And it ended 1:0. Snodgrass scored on 92 minute and made result 1:1, but goal was cancelled after VAR review. It's good for me, because I got 1.5 point on Superbru Cheesy.

Well off to a good start as I got that score spot on. I was gutted when I got the notification that West Ham had equalised in injury time and was praying for a var cancellation as often happens these days and it happened haha. It was quite harsh watching the hightlights. The defender headed the ball onto the attackers hand and it was given as handball. It was ball-to-hand really and it's not like he purposely controlled it: https://youtu.be/bxtU_ppPjkk?t=135

What on earth you can change usernames? Because buwaytress was a nonsense name that didn't mean anything at all, I made the account never once thinking I'd end up getting so hooked to Bitcoin and bct! =D So hard explaining to people what my name actually means (nothing) and that I don't speak tagalog (since apparently buway means "instability" to them).

Speak to theymos about it, but it's rare that he changes them and I was surprised by this one and even I didn't realise it at first and thought he was some randomer. I think being able to change your name should come as a perk of a new donator rank. I think that would be quite popular. I'm sure a lot of people dislike their names here and were chosen on the spot. I don't mind mine but I wanted one that I hadn't used anywhere else for privacy reasons.

Pamoldar you have to share the reasons one day for this BitcoinGirlClub thing. You're not catfishing anyone are you?

Lol. He explained here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53559575

Back to business: My 2-0 Sheffield pick lucky. West Ham should really have drawn this one. Still at 17th. I went for more than a couple of upsets this round... hoping FA cup fever slows down some of the favourites (except Liverpool who played their 12-yr olds haha).

3 games this weekend have an underdog with over 10/1 odds of beating Chelsea, United or City (odds I got from a couple of days ago on Fairlay, bookies have all adjusted down now). Gotta say Norwich at 12/1 isn't exactly an upset right? Still thinking =p

Next season we should have a higher stakes league, winner takes all (as well as the normal pool). It would make things a lot more fun for the high ballers.
I'm not against higher stakes, I would agreeto pay something like £50. But I think it's better to more interesting to have more players with current stakes, than less participants with higer stakes. And I don't think that winner takes all isn't good idea. Many players just would lose interest, because they will see that they have no chances to win. For example, probably I won't win this pool, but I still can reach top 5 to get prize for it.

A boring first half. I do not see in this match we will find any excitements at all. We can expect a 1 - 0 win for any team or a draw with either a 0 - 0 or a 1 - 1. I do not see any 2 - 0 or a 2 - 1 win for Sheffs. I gone with 2 - 1 for Sheffs and it seems I made a wrong decision. I hope I am wrong here, at least 1 or 1.5 points from this match would be nice.
We have first goal 54th minute and Sheffield United leading.

Yeah, a narrow home win for me, though the draw is tempting.

I wouldn't mind upping the stakes a bit but I don't want to price people out either and I want as many people to join as possible and hopefully the pool will grow over the years. Roughly £25 in bitcoin isn't much but doubling it or more might make many others pass. As Trofo said, I did initially see if anyone wanted to join a higher stakes pool but there wasn't that much interest or enough where I thought it would be worth it. I also don't really want to do a winner takes all. I think it's better having multiple prizes so a lot of people still have a chance of winning something. Hopefully we can get more sponsorship money as well with next pools.

I love this idea and will go with this in next season  Cheesy

I'll consider it. Maybe the winner could get the extra cash then choose whether to buy the hat or spoon themselves so nobody has to give their address out. I can't imagine many people would want to buy the wooden spoon though and don't know if I want to reward someone with cash for doing very badly haha.

Pamoldar offered theymos sexual services in exchange for his username being changed (only kidding buddy).
Nohome mate. It's publicly known that theymos goes sexual only with Lauda 😜
Besides imagine theymos to have gay relationships with all those users who has changed usernames so far LOL (EWW!)

whaaat? Pamoldar changed his username? I didn't know you could do that here. Question: can we still call you Pamoldar? D:
Yes to both questions. Actually I don't care much. However, I prefer Pam as short. I PMed theymos with my reasons to change it and my wish was granted. Lucky me, ain't I? I picked up a good occasion though. At Christmas Santa never say no to anyone.


You, tokeweed and famLFC need more wooden spoon to earn. Other players must have a chance  Cheesy
Burn in hell 😘


I gone with Sheff in this occasion. Let the home team to win.

I think we tried that last year and there was some interest but still not enough. There should be at least 10 of us to make it interesting and there was less than that. I am currently on mobile so don't feel like searching for old sign ups.

I am definitely interested and would gladly join, provided we get to 10 participants or at least close to it.

I suppose if enough people wanted it maybe this pool or the one next year I could take the money out of the pot to have a cap or spoon shipped to the winner/loser.

Tough call tonight imo. Going for a Sheffield united win, should be low scoring - lol - probably be 4-3 to West Ham now Smiley
Love the idea of a wooden spoon and cap , could it possibly be personalised ?

By the way, I was wondering what did you pick in the Wolves vs Newcastle, Everton vs Brighton and Bournemouth vs Watford?

Everton and Wolves home wins and Bournemouth vs Watford a draw probably for me. I've gone for all home wins on the 3 o'clock kick-offs but I'm sure there will be at least one draw in there (maybe the Everton//Brighton game). Watford are the better team right now but not sure I'd back them to win away and both teams are next to each other on the table and are fighting relegation so a draw it is for me (I'm sure they'll both be happy with the point as well). That game could go anywhere though from a bore draw 0-0 to a goalfest like 2-2 or something so not sure whether to risk watching it or not.


Any way, just got my predictions submitted. Hopefully I don’t get another wooden spoon this weekend.

 Roll Eyes

I think we should have a tip jar in our pool where we could put some small amounts, or just take a small portion of sponsored money and actually ship wooden spoons to the recipients. Or at least we should buy and send an actual wooden spoon to the person that collects most of them. We could even engrave it with something  Grin

Nobody wants a wooden spoon and I'm sure people wont want to expose their address for one, but you can actually buy the Superbru-branded spoons and caps:
