Thanks for pointing out the next round. I will not be there this time and will take a season break.

But next time it might work out again.
I wish you a lot of fun and a few exciting rounds of betting!

 

**Bump**

Little bump for this fabulous competition. Don’t forget to put your predictions in, game week 3 starts on Saturday.
My predictions are in & hoping to do better than the first two weeks 

Yeah, on the 'brumail' via their site. Thanks. It seems you get both a notification on the site and a message to your registered email:



So they should see it assuming they're checking the site or their emails.

When you say sent another message what exactly do you mean? For testing purposes I just sent you something called Brumail on Superbru. I guess you should get it on the mail you registered with Superbru. Did you do that or there is some other way to send message as well? If you did something else send a test one to me and I will let you know how visible it is.

This thread doesn't need to be bumped now. I doubt we'll get any new sign-ups so it's best to just continue with the discussion thread and let this one die off as I said above.

BTW, I'm still looking to find out who the user PLSbre here is if they can PM me if they see this. Sent them another message about it on there but I'm not sure how well you get notified of messages on Superburu so they might not see it. Hopefully they'll see this here.

Bump

It was the Watford shirt last time I spoke to them but nothing has been confirmed yet and maybe things will change now they've sponsored Southampton. I will keep everyone updated when I get any info.

So is it sure that we gonna get Watford shirt? No possibility of Southampton new shirts?

If anyone still wants to join the pool it's not too late. A new user just joined and he got some automatic points. It's only four but that's 0.5 more than I've got right now  . Superbru gives all users 15 'default' picks if you miss any games where it backs the winner for you so you can take advantage of that and overtake me in the process  : .

Pot is at 0.35564980 with 0.1 for first place with many more prizes to be won and a free Watford shirt so it's a steal either way.

Will do. There's still a few people who need to pay so I'll wait till those are in so I can work out the prizes fully as we took in a little more than expected so some of the prizes can go up a little. As for the shirt, the details are still being worked on but everyone should get a shirt if they want one. Not sure whether it'll be the new or old Watford shirt but I'll keep everyone posted.

Would you mind porting over the prizes and all of that info to the other thread?

Also, (I didn't stay in the loop) I just saw OP about a free shirt, what's the logistics of that? 

Sportsbet are amazing and doing everything the right way in terms of marketing, holy hell that all expense paid trip to watch a game - fantastic!

This thread will probably die off pretty fast. It's just for sign-ups really so it's best to stick to the discussion thread.

If anyone wants to still sign up though you've only missed seven games which isn't a big deal. If you're already on superbru you can carry you picks over from another league if you've already made them.

Best of luck this season y'all! Just posting to get this thread on my list.

Maybe they're just really strict about copyright or pictures of people who obviously aren't you (unless you are really Marouane Fellaini  ). They accepted mine no problems though.

Meant to include the picture.

I have also been rejected several times any of my upload avatar pictures. the only thing I understood as a reason, it needs to be a personal picture of myself. I don't want to share it there. I see that some have registered using Facebook account automatically taken profile photo from there.

There is a rule on upload photo settings:
"Please upload a photo of yourself, ideally a close-up of your face: seeing genuine images of other players makes Superbru more fun for everyone. We will reject at our sole discretion images that we believe do not meet this criteria."

Leeds deserved a point.


What did you upload? Did they not give a reason?

 

Nice opening Liverpool’s win was almost a fautly draw 
Not a great performance as I’ve expected to be honest

Hey, I would love to join the pool.

Tx Id- efb62321280a9c62d69cb27774e014c02faecc61bae9bf7eeedc7a611ab824e3

Please pm me the pool link to join

Thank you

Yes. I will give you until the 12th of October to pay but if you can pay earlier please do so.

Hey, can I still join?  Sorry for being late, been busy doing real-life stuff. I won't be able to pay the "entrance fee" right now but will be able to do that in the coming days. Would that be okay? 

Last call for anyone wanting to join the pool. There's a little less than 4 hours to go before the start of the first game and over six before the next one at 3 o clock so missing one wouldn't matter too much especially as some people will get that game wrong. If anyone wants to play but doesn't have the money yet I will give you a month's grace period to join so as long as you pay by the 12th you won't be removed. We currently have about 43 users and the pot is at 0.34215000BTC.

Problem solved
I made my picks

Wow the list of players is simply amazing, I’m pretty sure that we will have more shared yellow caps per round than the last season

Looks like you missed me out too.

I probably missed you as it looks like you didn't PM me. I sent you it now.

The pool is there, we have 38 people inside already. I don't see you among them though.

We all have these red clocks? next to our names, meaning we're not yet confirmed I guess. I think we can enter our picks regardless because I just put mine without any issues.

I would like to make my fist result predictions for the first round starting on Saturday, when will our pool be visible on superbru?

(my username is bigdaddy)

Hi, I would also love to participate in the pool.
Payment sent - 215fbf6b4003aafae61ff96126a314b0214a14a51b38f254686a136352607d48 (not confirmed yet though)

Finally paid!
Tx will be sent to your PM.

of course - sorry for the delay
pm with the transaction id is out to you

Less than four days to go now. Pot is getting bigger and bigger with every new sign up now.


Are you still playing? If BitcoinGirl.Club, tomahawk9, ulven and bitsat pay then all we need is you to hit 40 users.

Nice. tyKiwanuka, tomahawk9 and mole0815 all paid and we've hit our target so any additional people who join now will bump up the prizes.

good to see that number of participants is increasing, will be more interesting

just to add, you can already make your predictions, and we have three more days to the start, opener between Fulham and Arsenal

i would like to play too.
i won the german 1. bundesliga prediction pool last season and would like to try my luck here too
payment goes out as soon as my wallet is synchronized

So meanwhile the IF can be removed
My participation fee has been transferred and I have taken the liberty of advertising the betting game in the german speaking subboard.
I wish us a few exciting rounds and a lot of fun here in the thread

Tomorrow officially I will join. So it's not too long 😜

joca97 signed up so that's 32 users now. Just need two more to hit the target then anyone else is a bonus and we can expand the prizes. If mole0815, BitcoinGirl.Club, tomahawk9, ulven and bitsat all pay then we might hit 40 as we will only need 3 additional users. Keep spreading the word. I'm sure most of us have a friend or know someone who would probably like to play.

Nice. If mole0815, BitcoinGirl.Club, tomahawk9, ulven and bitsat pay then that will be 36. Really hoping we can get 40 users or more now and we can have a few more bonus prizes or bump up the 6-10 places.

Count me in as #31.

rdbase just signed up so that's 30 users now. If anyone's signature is free and they want to help promote the pool maybe consider advertising it. Here's my basic one if anyone wants to use it (or create your own):

Join Sportsbet.io's 2020/21 English Premier League predictor pool here.

Nearly 0.3BTC in the pot, a $50 free bet for every weekly winner, a free football shirt for all sign-ups, and the chance to win a free trip all to be given away!





Sign up for the shirt. I think this year's pool is too good not to join. A free shirt, chance to win a $50 bet every week and some huge prizes for the winner. I'm really surprised we don't have more users to be honest. I was expecting between 40-50, though it's a good thing for the current players as there's more chance to win. Maybe they'll be a mad rush of players signing up before the start.

Keep spreading the word anyway. If we get more than 34 users I can add some more prizes maybe for the highest scorers.

I won't partecipate to this one, but I must admit that just the shirt is worth the enrollment fee... good luck to everybody, and I hope to be present in the next round 

A little over 30.

29 so far! That's awesome.
How many we were in the last year? I think 29?
There are still a long week. I know until I pay, I am not in the list but including me it's 30 so very well done!
I see the first prize is 0.1 and I like it 😉

29 users signed up now. Lets see if we can get to 30 by Monday. All we need is four more to hit the target of 0.3 pot. Spread the word.

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 op. 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. Spread the word and lets try to get 34 users before Saturday.

Sent.


There's 27 paid so far I think. A handful of people have yet to join via superbru.

You’ll be the 23rd player I think, we could do with another 7 or something to make a nice round number of 30.

I'm joining this as well. I've sent the payment, but the transaction hasn't been confirmed yet. I'll pm transaction ID when it gets through.
Edit: I've sent the link.

Nearly a week to go before the season starts.


What cryptofrka said is correct: everyone who joins gets a shirt. It was and still likely is a Watford shirt as from what I understood Sportsbet have a surplus of them, but I'll get confirmation before the season starts. Either way maybe sportsbet will throw in some of the new Watford or Southampton shirts for some of the winners but don't quote me on that.

Nope, the kit is for every player that pays the entry fee. I'm quoting it here from the OP:


The only thing left to check is whether we can pick the Southampton kit instead because they did not have that sponsorship arranged when hillariousandco spoke with them about the rewards.

Basically, the kit alone is worth the buy-in so I'm really surprised we do not have 50+ players already.

Nope, you read what would you like to hear 
Here is a prediction Premier League pool. Sign up fee cost each player 0.0045BTC and the whole championship is played based by earned points.
Sportsbet.io as the main sponsor of Watford and Southampton (you can find Sportsbet name on his jersey) is also a sponsor of this pool and in addition to cash prizes, there will be some t-shirt's giveaways. not for everyone but some will surely get it.
For now, we don't know if one person will be awarded, ten or all of thirty pool participants. but it will certainly be interesting

You know I am in. Did I read it right - free Watford t-shirt for everyone 

Bump. 25 users have now signed up. Lets see if we can get 30 by the end of the week. Shouldn't be too difficult as around 5 people have said that they'll join.

I’ve PM’d 5 or 6 others to see if they’re interested & I posted in the WO thread to see if any of those guys feel like joining.

Because there's two people to be announced. jeremypwr hasn't paid yet but said he will. Don't really want to spam people with messages, especially if they're not interested. I'm sure most would assume the pool was continuing and would know where to find it if they were interested.

You forgot to add hilariousandco  
Why is TBA twice on the list?
it seems to me that I saw the application of jeremypwr, or I misinterpreted something. Also, maybe you can send PM to the rest of the participants from the previous season, just as a reminder.

btw, I see that some have already set their picks on the first round.   you are very impatient

It was originally a Watford shirt but maybe that's changed since they're now sponsored Southampton but I need to get clarification. The trip to a game might now be to a Southampton match since they've apparently got a VIP box now there but I'll keep everyone updated.

That is good to hear. I have a few items on my To Do list at the moment.
In any case, I will be there as already announced and will take care of the transfer of the participation fee as soon as possible

//edit: Short question about the additional price. Is it a Watford or a Southampton shirt?

A little bumpski on this 
Come on people, loads of chances of winning something.
You got to be in it to win it

Nice to see you back.


Welcome. You're the 20th user to sign up. Sent you the details to join. If you need any help setting up superbru just give me a pm, though it's very simple and straight firward.

Welcome everybody, Here I am new I register for the first time. Is there a welcome? Never heard of pools like this before, this will be my first experience!
hilariousetc, see pm

Count me in!
I was watching the progress but could not make an update. I will send the fees in about a week and will PM you. Let's count it 20 😊

Bump. 15 days to go. Pot at 0.23705000. 19 people signed up so far. Lets try get that to 30 at least.

Leicester City vs. Sheffield Wednesday are having a friendly that has just kicked off in anyone is wanting to watch some Pl action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ynub_N62EwQ

Maybe one day they will be the main sponsor of LFC
That one is a must have in my collection, but I’ll not wait for a gift, will buy it asap :-D

I'm in https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/d8243e46a6a7efdf630f6e22a78bd70d9064db654a371714fc059df77ad5d084 sent PM also.


Sorry mate, you are too late. 
since you ruined us the previous season we won't grieve much for you 


Now they are a sponsor of Southampton, I would like to see his jersey on my back.

When do we get the code to join the pool or something? Or do we wait for more people to sign up furst?

Thanks in advance!

I'm in, here is my tx for the fee https://blockstream.info/tx/e58ce134fa352bb66ad72e094d5989469e6c07bed709262dd3bb2e665eda0470

Thank you Sportsbet.io for the sponsorship of this pool and thank you for the Watford's jersey I got by mail, it's beautiful!

Best regards

There's certainly no rush but the season is fast approaching with 18 days to go. I'm sure most users will sign up from last season but I'll be pretty disappointed it we don't get at least 30 users, though at least it gives us a better chance at winning. I thought we'd be swamped with interest this season due to the prizes. Pretty cool that Sportsbet stepped in at the last minute to sponsor them and keep Bitcoin in the Premier League. Nice to see that they've put the BTC logo on their shirts too as that's good for exposure and adoption and something Sportsbet certainly don't have to do so shows their commitment to bitcoin.

Payment made, PM sent.
Yeah, not that many people sent money, but probably they aren't in hurry, there is enough time until season start. I'm sure that we will get at least not less participants than last season.
BTW, I just realized that there is Southanpton players with Sportsbet logo on their shirt in the OP. If somebody aren't aware, Southampton signed one year sponsorship deal with Sportsbet.io:

@hilariousandco
Thanks again, my friend, for organizing, I will work on paying this week and I hope there will be more participants this season, I think this season will be more exciting, there is not much left for the beginning of the matches of EPL.
And I wish everyone good luck!!

There's no deadline per se other than the start of the season but I'd rather get everyone's money in asap so I can work out the prizes. The more people that join the bigger the pot is and the more lucrative it is which makes others wan't to join. Don't really want a load of last minute sign-us if I can help it. I thought we'd have at least 30 users by now. Think only ten have paid so far. The more people that join the more likely it is we'll get a better sponsor for next pools including the CL one.

Is there a deadline?  I'm joining again, reserve me a spot.  I will send payment asap. 

Leeezz gooo!

I have sent my payment, PM'd OP. Good luck everybody!

He wrote in the post 0.0005 and I did not check the actual tx. No matter that will be more money for the transactions in the end or a small bonus for the pot. Your math is probably ok.

I just made a new Premier League prediction thread (The old one was getting too big) and put an link to this pool in the OP.  Maybe we will get few new members if we are lucky

My maths tell me swogerino was just 0.00001 BTC short. Am I missing anything here?

I'm going to send payment tomorrow. Already can't wait for next season. This year our pool are going to be very interesting. I'm already after I saw prizes. Besides whole pot, $50 free bet for yellow cap winners, free Watford shirt. And chance to win ticket to selected football game - it's something incredible!

Payment sent;)

@hilariousandco
Hey I just sent 0.01 mBTC to the pool address, here is tx id:
0c75c5fb55604c827b3e4c7ac2cb95f13712811879aa0e227351e4b3d3cbc23c

This transaction covers:
- 0.0045 Trofo pool fee
- 0.0045 cryptofrka pool fee
- 0.0005 swogerino missing amount for his fee
- 0.0005 a little extra to cover some tx when sending rewards

Hopefully, I did not complicate things for you with this multi tx. Thanks once again organizing this.

Sure. Send as low as possible. As long as it confirms before the 12th it's fine.

Cheers mate , just signed in - 4 players so far 

I'm in as well!

https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/6a9029f742a581e003b3ff16f206a9a88dafe6fd1c9bd4ab4e19526e10b8b2ee

PS: I sent my transaction with quite a low around 2 sat/byte, since we are in no hurry... no problem, right ?

All the people who have paid so far have been sent the link to join.

I'm in as well, Trofo will be covering my fee.

Thanks to hilariousandco and Sportsbet, looking forward to playing. The payouts are great, 10 spots cover the fee (and add to it) and additional prizes are awesome too.

Well organized, cheers!

here I am enrolling for next season, now I have more experience but it seems to me that there will be tough competition.
I'll update this post with tx after payments. Probably Wednesday.


I think it is the shirt from 2019/20 season away kit. I got one and posted about that, also TedMosby get the same
I assume they got a certain amount of jersey for promotion under the contract, now with a new equipment sponsor and new design are no longer top-up.

I will PM the people who have paid tomorrow.


Just to clarify, I think the shirt offer is for the old one, and not the new one, but I'll get clarification on that. Hopefully they might throw in a new shirt somehow for some winner. I'm sure they'll be doing some giveaway for it regardless.

have sent you PM with a payment, where to stand in line for a free shirt, looks great with this yellow-black combination

wish you all a good tournament and may the best win

jeremypwr updated me on this:


That's a really nice shirt. I hope it has the BTC logo on the sleeves as well.


There's no rush for payment for anybody who is worrying. As long as it's in before the season starts then it's all good. People can join even after it's started but you'll obviously be dropping points.

I really appreciate it and send you big thanks for your generous offering.Can’t wait to try something I never tried before and I dream about that saying beginner’s luck when someone wins the first time.Congratulations to all.

Don't worry man I will cover that 0.0005 for you and even add a few satoshi more to cover some pool transactions. Consider it as welcome to our pool. Already made a deal with friend from local part of the thread so will take care of all that in single tx.  I will pay probably on Sunday when I get back home from weekend on the islands.

Big thanks to hilariousandco for running this once again.

I am glad to be the first person to post the payment id here:


https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/2278c145092558d17ed99b9c2e4343d0d05f1ced34e026f985d83f27db1ff1ec

I could only send 0.00449 but I will make sure to send the remaining 0.0005 during the time until or before 12 September when the league starts.I hope this is not a problem.
It was extremely difficult to hold on until here but I am glad I did.

I just saw now I am the second person  and not the first one.

Great! Here we go! Let me be the first person to get on board this season. BTC sent, PM incoming!

Did I read right? Free Trip to one match of our choice? Wohooo!! That's so generous of you, Sportsbet. Love you guys. It's my long standing dream to visit Europe for football match. Let see if SportsBet is the answer. 

By the way, Watford jersey will be from 2020/21 season or 2019/20 season? This is the new jersey and it's looking dope:


Wouldn't mind to have one of these in my collection.

For the past few years I've organised betting pools for the English Premier League along with the Champions League and World Cup, and now it's time for the 2020/21 Premier League pool which will kick off on the 12th of September. This year's pool is sponsored by Sportsbet.io and they've generously donated 0.15 into the pot along with some other great prizes (see details of below), so thanks to both jeremypwr and Sportsbet for that.

We will again be using the www.superbru.com website for predictions where you get 3 points for predicting an exact score, 1 point for a correct outcome (win/lose/draw) and 1.5 for a close prediction with correct outcome. Superbru is a free and easy to use site taking only a minute or two to register. You can change your scores right up until kick-off and you can even put your predictions in advance even for the entire season if you wanted to which is perfect if you think you might be away for the forum or not have a chance to make your predictions.

The price to join is 0.0045 in bitcoin and 100% of the money received is paid out between the winners. The total prizes will depend on how many people ultimately join, but based on 34 users joining at 0.0045 which will make the total pot a little over 0.3 the prizes will likely be as follows:

1st 0.1
2nd 0.05
3rd 0.04
4th 0.03
5th 0.02

6th 0.01
7th 0.01
8th 0.01
9th 0.01
10th 0.01

A little over 30 users joined last year's pool but I anticipate at least 40-50 users this year and hopefully maybe more. If many more users than that join I may increase the payout places to top 15 or so. However, I would also like to boost the above prizes a little as well to make it more competitive, but this will all be decided once users have finished signing up and the above prizes are likely the minimum you can expect to be in with a chance of winning.

In addition to the prizes above Sportsbet are also offering a free Watford shirt to every player who signs up (assuming you want one and subject to stock). They will also be offering a $50 free bet to every 'yellow cap' of the weekly round which is the user that gets the most points in that week. Finally, the best prize they're offering is one lucky player will be in with the chance to win an all expenses paid trip to a football game of their choice*. How it will work is everyone who joins will be entered into a raffle. The number of raffle tickets you get will depend on your final place in the table at the end of the season, for example:

Assuming 50 players join:

1st place will win 50 raffle tickets
2nd Place 49 raffle tickets
3rd Place 48 raffle tickets, and so on with the player who finishes last in 50th getting 1 ticket.

This way everyone who joins has a chance to win but the better you do the better odds you get at winning. Please note: I am only responsible for paying out the cash prizes and all other prizes will be handled by jeremypwr and Sportsbet.

*Full terms and conditions of the football trip raffle will be released shortly before the pool stars.

To join this year's pool simply send 0.0045** to the following address: 1Lt6vyUjFbT8Nu1GYtwF6YRX4UJHziBoFJ or scan the QR Code:



Once you have done so please PM me the txid and I will send you the details of how to join.

** The price to join will likely remain the same, but if the price fluctuates by a great amount I may change it to be more around £40 in bitcoin which is the current value as of today.
