just in time for the announcement of the new bundesliga game schedule, it's now official and registrations for the new prediction game can now be made ⚽
there are also some changes to the prices (due to the current and future BTC price):

• sportsbet.io continues to participate with a certain amount (but this time in € instead of directly at the start of the pool in BTC)
• the participation fee decreases from 0.001BTC to 0.0005BTC
• the free bets can/will also vary for different matchdays
• if there is still interest in the jerseys, they can also be added to the prize pool (please note that if you win, you must provide me with a shipping address)

i'm tagging all the participants from last season here again in the hope that they will take part again this season:

I am in of course. Not gonna miss on any football pool this upcoming season.

Would prefer if buy in stayed 1mBTC but I get it why it was lowered. Last season all the pools costed me around 800$ and this season that amount would go well over 1000$ which is a lot of many for most. ROI is great though and I don't think I ever finished the pool season on bitcointalk in the red. One good result is usually enough, even without the free bets part.

the performance of Bitcoin is the reason why i reduced the buy-in by half (to 0.0005BTC)
on the other hand, i also want to give users the opportunity to participate in the bl pool, for whom 0.001BTC is a lot of money

and when the new season comes to an end next year, I don't want to know how much USD or EUR the 0.0005BTC will be worth then

I just realised from Trofo's post how much this season's entry fees will cost for all the pools and he's right, it's just not financially viable for some people, given it's several months salary where I come from! But I think if you do well in just one pool, or at the very least take part in all the side comps, the freebets themselves should at least cover back the outlay.

That's a long-winded way for me to also say: would be happy if it were a bit higher, but happy to always have a good opportunity to win something. Been fortunate enough to win here and there but I'd love to get in on Bundesliga too. I'll try to play with a lot of care this season... haha

Entry paid =)

That is your biggest weakness my friend, you now get light-headed because of your luck streak in the Club World Cup pool. Everyone could have gotten that lottery pool right, but here it's pros like me who you are up against.



I suggest you think twice before crashing into the wall. Maybe you believe I have no clue about the Bundesliga, but this is all part of a long-term sophisticated strategy that is about to be executed in the upcoming season. You can't ever blame me, I warned you!

Good luck, good luck!

The embarrassing truth is that I do worse than most others on a regular basis and I thought I really know what I am doing, but at the end of the day this is good proof that luck is still a huge factor.

Towards the end of all pool seasons, you can see that often the leading guys have the same picks. They are pretty strategic about it as it makes sense then not to take risk. I guess taking too much risk and deviate from standard expectations doesn't make much sense anyway, but I sometimes can't help but go against expectations.

i had actually planned to do that
but now that you've reminded me, i've taken this as an opportunity to increase the points awarded for a draw from 2 to 3 points (as far as the tendency is concerned)

and thanks to join the bl-pool again
