I suggested that one previously for the world cup competition but they had complicated scoring for that one. I actually used it last season for Premier League and they are quite ok. They will even remind you over Email to enter predictions. I believe they are running it for a lot of different competitions.

OK. Thanks. I guess we'll go with that one unless we find anything else that's better. It's a shame the Premier League doesn't have an official one like FIFA did for the World Cup. I saw they have a free to play fantasy league though: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/

Maybe we could do that as well if people are interested, though I've never took part in one before and think I would prefer the correct scores. A fantasy league looks like too much work to me haha. Maybe we could do a free to play one for this season and see how it goes.

YES PLEASE! I'd love to play that one. I played some twice back in the day with some friends when I had FB still. It's fun!

I'd love to play even if it's for free. Maybe we can even get a bookie to sponsor a little prize money in exchange for their banner posted and their name in the title...? Something like 'Nitrogensports BTC Community Fantasy League'.

How hard would it be to get them in?

I have played FPL for the last 6 years, so would be happy to offer advice/help out if required. It's free to use the site and you can have as many people as you want in a private league. The only issue is the account most people who already play use is linked to their real name, since they mostly play with real life friends, so people might want to create a separate account for privacy reasons which is technically against the rules.

It is a fair amount of work if you want to remain competitive. I am in the opppsite situation to you - the reason I've not signed up for your prediction pool is because I already spend too long on my team without also having to predict scores, haha.

Is that the one that somebody suggested previously? I'd like to check out a couple predictors to see what the best one is before we commit. I'd like something as close as possible to the BBC one we used, but more importantly it needs to be reliable. That scoring system seems fine though. The odds of somebody getting 7 correct scores though is astronomical. It's like SkyBet's SuperSix which hardly anybody ever wins, but with one more haha.

Ah, so Trofo was the one who suggested. I actually just only found it. Looks like it's been around for a while, judging from the history of other players I've checked out. I agree on reliability 100%, and this one looks like it's been battle-tested for many rounds and other sports, but can't speak for it personally as have never tried (perhaps for the interest of experimenting I'll try it anyway even if we don't settle on it).

7 is absolutely crazy, agree. We had someone hit 5 in our last pool didn't we and that was rare enough. But it's a nice bonus on the off chance someone's favoured by the gods, something extra to play for... and it seems to record all our performances over seasons. Maybe this pool becomes a regular feature.

How about this one?
https://www.superbru.com/premierleague_predictor

Scoring system is ALMOST similar. 3 points for exact score. 1 point for correct outcome. 1.5 points for "close"... correct outcome plus 1 goal off or correct goal difference, same style as FIFA World Cup predictor.

There's also 15 "default picks" that will enter the most popular score if you forget/miss games, so that's good for everyone who inevitably will miss a few games throughout the season.

There's also additional prizes for getting exact scores in 7 games or more in a given round: https://www.superbru.com/premierleague_predictor/prize_jackpot.php

Bump.

We need the pot to get to 1k GBP before the season starts quick! Tho I don't think I'll be doing that well as seen in the last two betting pools. But I'm happy to donate some coins to play and have some fun. GL everyone.

*Anti jinx post on* Grin

I think getting twelve new players before the start of the season on the tenth will be a stretch. Keep spreading the word though. £25 is a steal for an entire season of entertainment and the pot is pretty decent so far. The pool makes the tournament more exciting at least as you have an interest in every game, even the shitters. Still looking for a website to use if anyone can suggest some seeing as the BBC one won't be available.

Hello admin and everyone. I enjoyed the world cup pool, even though I lost, I will remember that I was Number 1,,, for two days, so that means I have some skill to show off, even if not the best of the best. I would like to add my name again for this pool also, if everything is done in the same way as before. If it is not too late!

Good luck to every team. I will support Tottenham Hotspurs to get 1st place.

It's not too late. You could join in half way through the tournament if you really wanted. You'd just have very little chance of winning then haha. A couple of users did join in a few rounds into the tournament last year. I'll probably message everyone a week or so before the start to collect all the money in so keep an eye out for that. Pot is now currently at £675. One more person for £700.

You could also add a poll for this thread just for the lulz... And of course see what some players think. Maybe they're not as vocal as they should be but would find it easier to click 'yes or no' on a poll...?

Anyway, I think we'll see almost the same amount of players joining in.

I don't think you can add polls once a thread has been created. Also, the poll would be open to anyone so you'd just get random plebs voting on it who had no interest in the pool.

Without a doubt I will join for the CL pool as well, as it is a bigger event than EPL so I think it would be nice to have bigger prizepool. Obviously it requires bigger entry fee, lets say £50. Probably we need to make vote between £25 or £50 for the CL pool. But if £50 is too much for most participants then £25 is OK.

I'll probably just keep it to £25 as to not price people out of it. We won't have as long to organise it/drum up interest as well so I'm not sure if more people will join over the Premier League.

Hey hilarious... Maybe instead of doing 25 GBP pool and a 100 GBP one, why not start a CL betting pool for the same (25) price instead? I'm pretty sure most, if not, all the players here would play the CL pool too.

What do you think?

I'll probably just stick to the £25 one for this season for the Premier League. Too late and too much hassle to get everyone to agree to £50 and don't want any users to drop out. Maybe I'll double it to £50 for next. We'll see. We can do a Champions League one as well for another £25 though. Would have done one last season for it but left it a bit too late and didn't really want to do it with only a few players. Once the Premier League starts I'll open up a thread about the Champions League pool. Will give us over a month to recruit people then.

the champions league pool should be epic , to be honest I don't even watch EPL but I do follow CL so joined here just for fun
if it's easy to manage two pools at the same time then yeah another pool for the champions should be amazing

Count me in as the first player for the Champions too. Pretty convinced many people will join as much more people watch Champions league that they watch Premier League. Even casual gamblers or non gamblers watch it, so I am sure we will have many people join this competition.
