Dybala's last-second goal for 4:1 ruined what could have been my only exact score of this round, annoying.  Sad

There were a couple more annoying results overall, Spezia/Verona was a draw written all over it, it took a red card and a bicycle kick by Zaccagni for Verona to win, i needed a goal from Benevento (they missed a penalty), the red card for Cagliari inflated the end result too much. Lazio's inconsistent play continues, Torino with their only second win of the season (congrats to those who picked them). Regardless, decent round for everyone i guess!

I have Atalanta on one of my legs today, super tough game and Sassuolo are evenly matched on paper, so 5/1 is a good bet, but I just thought after the rest Atalanta should be on fire today.

Then again. Crotone leading Inter right now after just 12 minutes, and actually playing slightly better. We'll see. Live bet on Inter comeback tempting but not if they're playing like they are right now heh.

Edit: Screw me, Inter 1-1 =D

@LTU_btc you can't change predictions after kick off, and that seems to be time set on Superbru, rather than actual kickoff times. I've seen that happen before:)

BTW guys don't forget the first games of 2021 start tomorrow! Personally I think the favourites should have no problem with all the rest they'll have had. Or maybe they party too hard and underdogs stand a chance?

other thing that I have spotted in some earlier rounds is that beginning times for matches in Superbru do not match with actual times, and that could be exploited (there were few examples, most notably Getafe - Villareal in Spain, few rounds ago, and I saw that there was a lot good picks on that match), Superbru lock those matches after first goal that is reported by their contributors
usually, I put my picks on Thursday/Friday, and do not change anything (whenever I changed, that did not brought me any luck)
I haven't noticed beginning time of matches on Superbru and actual time doesn't match yet. But locking matches after first goal isn't true actually. What if it's goaless game, you can change your prediction until the end of game? I tried to check this thing on Sevilla - Villarreal game today, it started 17:00 local time and when I checked on 17:01 it was already not possible to change prediction.

You can see other people picks even if they are not locked 100%. If you want to test it check my picks, they are not locked except for Sevilla game. I lock only the games which I bet on so I can check what you guys played and have some sort of reality check.

There is some possibility for abuse but that only comes into play in last rounds and you can always just tinker your picks 5 minutes before the game starts and make it almost a non issue. There is much more possibilities for abuse by multi acounting in our Premier League and we discussed it there in more detail.

it is possible to see other picks, but you have to lock your picks prior, or am I missing something, so if you lock your pick, it is of no use for the competition that you will see other picks, since you cannot change your own?
maybe, if you have two or three accounts, and one using just for the oversight for other people picks, but that would be too much of the effort for this pool? with BTC rising, reward is better, but it is just too much effort for a year to follow all picks, and you cannot guarantee success after all, it is just good for last rounds, if you are on the top, and have one follower, but you should came to the top in the first place

nevertheless, I do not see much of a worry there

Edit: wrong pool again, dammit, have to read headers before posting. But he point is sort of pool proof so I'll let it stay.

Allowing people to see picks that are not locked could actually lead to abuse, don't you think? Hypothetically speaking, i don't mean this pool or the EPL one, what happens if you join a pool with two accounts, or you are buddy-buddy with someone, you can take an unfair advantage if you are able to see unlocked picks to let's say defend/or attack a top spot in your pool in the last couple of rounds, right?

Also, does anyone know what's the cut-off time to make our predictions, 1, 2, or 5 minutes before the start of the match?
Good point. I really havent thought that it can lead to abuse, but yeah, it's possible. Though, I doubt that someone from our pools would do such thing.
I remember making picks 1 or 2 minutes before the game several times. So, I think you can make prediction even 1 second before start of the game, but I wouldn't risk to try it.

Glad that you guys brought this up, i was gonna ask anyway, which one is it after all:

Guys, what is with the slacking?! Lock you damn picks so I can see how you are thinking haha
Doesn't work that way. You can see other people picks as soon as you lock your own. Doesn't matter if other people picks are locked or not.

or

You won't see my picks because I never lock it

Mine are already locked and you are all slacking hard Cheesy

Btw. Merry Christmas and happy new year to all of you!
You won't see my picks because I never lock it, just in case if I would want to change my pick before the game  Tongue Anyway, there is no need to hurry because there is plenty time left until upcoming round which will be played on Sunday.
Probably there is no most watch games this round, though Atalanta - Sassuolo should be fun game.

I don't even use the lock picks function anymore. Thought to gain some insight from other people's picks before, but it turns out, doesn't help me improve my game at all haha.

But yeah, I'm slogging through EPL games now. No space for anything until 1 Jan to make other picks.

I guess we are waiting for the last moment, there is still almost a week left to do them and Premier League is going all the time so our time is invested there.

Ah yeah I see, noticed the prize pot also went down a bit this season. Budgets are cut all around it seems.
That is why we are playing our pool in BTC. We have already more than doubled our prizes. When we started, first prize was about 200$ now it is almost 450$ and we are just getting started. I feel like I will be paying out thousands by the time our pool finishes  Grin

Certainly pays to be hunkering down in BTC doesn't it? I see all of my sports/casino deposits growing in USD value too. Of course it helps that I've actually been making more than losing in general, but glad I kept most of my coins in casinos over the years and just gambling with them.

But phew, whoever wins our pool and all the various pools will be laughing to the bank!

@morvillz nothing but well done from me to you. I'm all out of magic for Serie A heh.

^ I think i finished with 6pts, 1 exact and 2 close ones, there are a few games under 'Live', which means points from these matches are still to be added.

Don't know why but Serie A pool takes way too much time to update/finalize results, compared to the EPL pool for example.

Overall, pretty low-scoring round for all of us, and i agree some fucked up outcomes today.

edit; results just got updated while i was posting, nothing out of the ordinary, was able to put 1.5pts on Trofo, i will take that!  Tongue

Global Leaderboard  8/4,601, i'm one exact score from the 1st place, holy shit  Shocked

Hell of round isn't it ? We've got a maximum of 4.5 points for the round, I managed to get 4 points and Hoody Hoo still got at least an 0.5 point lead increment over me  Huh

Just so many upset and Juventus kicked us off with a 3 Nil lost at Turin, Milan kept their cool head intact btw.

Milan's leading now after 11 minutes. Feels weird these days betting against Lazio and predicting against them but even after their last decent win against Napoli, I'm really not sure they've got what it takes to take them through the season.

Of course, AC Milan are the firm favourites here so if they end up winning it won't have been much of a surprise (which is why I sided with them today). Sorry, Ciro, sorry Lucas, sorry Pepe. But I'm betting on you vs Bayern heh.

You guys feel bad for anti-nostalgia bets?

Sounds as good tactic as any Smiley I am personally spamming both to score market in the last few weeks with solid results. For instance Juve got me a lot of money this season. They are conceding goals all the time and bookies still keep both to score @1.85 or close against weaker opponents.

I haven't really counted but after EPL's explosive start, they seem to be going down in terms of goals scored, while Italy has been shoving it in quite regularly -- psychologically I always feel like they are a low scoring league but that could be shifting. I really ought to check other markets more often!

I think they are giving it only for EPL. Unfortunately Superbru isn't making that much money to pay these prizes for every league.
@morvillz7z, I see that you already 12th in global leaderboard - very impressive. Next goal - TOP 10. It would be nice if you will be able to finnish season in such high place. Sometimes I look at these Global leaderboard and usually even leaders of our pools aren't doing very well there.

I'm wondering, if the big prize Superbru gives out also applies to other leagues outside EPL? Hope your picks also translate to good winnings:) Lazio gave me loads of joy last season but this time around I have to accept they won't even be in Europe at this stage.

I have no idea what to expect any time of the week now in this season. Starting to see real value on regularly betting upsets or handicaps against the typical Champions League spot contenders, or maybe to pick goalscorers and double down when they don't score. Honestly can't even predict from day to day, never mind match weeks!
