Test completed, looks good! @Slissy: Qatar, eh? Wink

Slackovic comes from our local section, he only recently found the will to start writing in gambling after we spent years luring him here. So be gentle with him  Grin Not so much into sports other than big competitions like WC, but other than that enormous character flow, a realy good guy  Grin

We had to have one group of death for it to be a propper competition.

Yes, up until a month ago I was writing almost entirely in our local section. But now that the World Cup is starting I started to follow the Gambling section. After a few days I noticed that most of you are normal people and not some gambling addicts that are just talking about betting. I even started my own thread about Croatian football league. It's not that popular because the league is not popular but we will see if it will catch up when the World Cup ends and league matches start again.

Well, then a warm welcome to you friend! I still get a small tingly feeling of excitement each time a new user comes to my part of the bitcointalk woods -- I know the forum's much, much larger than the section I'm active in, and to be fair, gambling also wasn't my most active section initially so I know how tough it can be to "break in".

I've had good enough fortune to meet many people from forum, initially just Bitcoin people, but more recently guys from gambling and the good news is they are really cool people, regular and normal as can be, with unique interests you couldn't really find in normal life heh.

I saw your thread actually, and never commented only because I know zero about the leagues there but that kind of diversity is awesome. I have been thinking also about creating a new thread on Women's football, as that's probably one of the seriously untapped markets (gambling wise) and after watching some tournaments recently, I admit the quality is really catching up in Europe, probably even better than some regular football leagues I've played in or watched.

What I like about this pool I think we actually have locals supporting. From what I can gather looking at users, English, Aussies, Croatians, Argentinians, Welsh, US Americans, Canadians, Danish at least have reps here (I actually wonder if it's a good idea to voluntarily note our nationalities too, just for fun of course). I know we have at least one Nigerian I can see, too bad they're not in WC. Any Ghanaian, Cameroonian, Senegalese..?

We need to lure a Brazilian from Sportsbet though!

done testing successfully, I think the gameplay will be interesting to everyone.


I see that in group stage we will have 4 games every day, probably I won't be able to watch live part of it due to work, but I hope that I won't miss predictions with my bussy schedule.


Yes, I also can't watch all the matches, but we have weekends in which we can watch some matches.
There are only a few days left until the start of the event, so be prepared and good luck to everyone!!

People in my group seem familiar, especially morvillz7z being active in the NBA thread. I can't wait for this to start. I will be a huge underdog here. But I'll give my best. Vamos Argentina!

Hey fellas, let's do a test run. This is a form for you to see how it will work going forward.

This is just a test version of the form, so we can see if everything works the way it should. It is not mandatory to fill out, but it might be good for you to test it out.
The 1st round of questions will be sent to you on Friday or Saturday, and will be similar to the 2 questions you can see here.

In this spreadsheet you should be able to see your answers after you submit them through the form.

We are aware that you can submit multiple times and that you can submit with a different name. We can see who did that so please don't try - we will ban anyone who tries that.
There are steps we can make to stop this possibility, but we would have to collect your email addresses which we don't want to do.

Let's keep it fun and fair and let's all enjoy this!

I recognise Mitch from my group (D) and I feel like I recognise Renampun from somewhere, but Slackovic, can someone remind me who this guy is? I want to suss up my competition first, but I think I agree Group H is the Group of Death judging from just usernames I'm familiar with.

No big players? Your group seed is maybe the toughest one in the competition. He does not have the forum rank and presence like some other seeds but he is kicking our buts in pools on regular basis. Lucky bastard  Grin
I noticed KTC and few other guys in predictions pools and I jealous only on him, but I can't remember everyone Cheesy
It's a shame you are not eligible for participation, but let's remember your bet on vd309 to win competition and see what happens after World Cup finishes.
I know you are going to have lot of work collecting everything from us, so good luck with that.

When you said the time its doesnt matter its because we are going to answer question more like the 4-3-3 format?

So you can browse and search in google but you cant make so much with that because every game its different to another.

Im correct? Or im destroying the "surprise"?  Grin

Slava Ukraini!
I'm satisfied with draw results. As seeded player, I won't face some big names, but I see that in other groups there is some regular participants of most pools. Jayce and Ulven play in EPL pool now, while I'm not familiar with Slissy.
Already waiting for World Cup to start and also to see how this game will work.

I don't quite understand how the rates will be tracked.

Just an idea... Trofo sends a google form link to 32 users in a PM (participants in turn confirm their participation by sending a screenshot of the bid, or the ID).
It will be a form, linked in the world cup topic and here, you will each answer the same set of fixtures and attach a screenshot of the qualifying bet. Still working on finishing details but that is the gist of it. Test round will be active later today or tomorrow so you can give it a try and see how it looks.

Frankly, I think that we have got a very difficult draw as a team. Two members in the group is coming from the club talk quota. It is not very hard to predict that these people are at a high level about betting. dittoup is very active on Sportsbet's contests on the forum especially. He is stepping forward as a successful member. Therefore it would be a big surprise for us to qualify from the group. But we will do our best to make our supporters happy.


You forgot to add that you will give 110%, that is a staple to show how serious you are to perform Smiley

We wanted to play this one really bad and commented on it many times internally but it is impossible to lead competition like this and make it absolutely impossible for us to gain some advantage. What is more important it would be very difficult to prove withot any doubt. For instance we have to have able to see what you guys post to grade it and how to prove we did not check what our rivals answered?

Maybe we could have utilised blockchain to that effect but that would mean paying transactions by every participant and then we would probably not even get 32 players.

Wish there was more time to help you guys do this, maybe next big competition (I guess euros?). There has to be a way, and to use a cheap blockchain (or even almost free blockchain) with timestamping -- but yeah, the only way that probably fits everyone is to have it all impartial on the side of the organisers.

Still, I hope you guys have as much fun as us.

@Trofo, I didn't seem find an answer to the question buwaytress asked earlier, That is If a BetBuilder bet would count towards the minimal 1.5+ Odds for one match ?
We will accept betbuilders with odds above 1.5. not gonna complicate the rules too much. Every bet on every market with odds over 1.5 is ok.

'Bitcoins are like gold bars with wings' - T.W.
Hope this helps with giving a visual representation of how the bracket system will apply. Would have gone the extra mile of replacing names and the alike but unfortunately, I couldn't replace country names with how the names have been drawn in our group charts as this might bring about confusion when compared to the actual team's performance in IRL, otherwise, this is it.

OP just a quick one, since this is going to be simulating the real games does this mean Group A will have an opening match just like the Qatar - Ecuador match?

Thanks! Yep, that's how it will look like and I'll make the graphics once we get to the knockouts. Nice job from your side as well Smiley
It will simulate the real games, but per round. It means that all the participants have to submit the answers before the 1st game, and for all of them the questions will be the same.
That means that it makes no difference whether you are placed in group A or group E - everything is the same for you.

This is so entirely different from what have been accustomed to here on the forum, and this is going to be loads of fun, just like the Serie A and La Liga exclusive free bet competition we had last season.

Too bad that Cryptofrka and Trofo can not join in to play, but looking at the structure of the competition and since the answers couldn't have been know before hand and users predictions would get posted one each match day start, I don't think that gives both of them any form of edge over others, but I understand the reason for not being allowed to join in, I just believe it would have gotten more competitive you both playing.

@Trofo, I didn't seem find an answer to the question buwaytress asked earlier, That is If a BetBuilder bet would count towards the minimal 1.5+ Odds for one match ?

We are really thrilled to do this, and if it goes well hopefully we can do it more often as well. That's why your feedback will be important.
We thought about playing, we do agree that answers can't be known but we can set the questions up so they work in our favor. That's why we decided to skip - we feel it is more fair like that.
