I know some of you have been playing these Superbru pools for two or more years now, my question is, has anyone ever got all 10 outcomes correct in a single round, 10 outcomes = 3 slam points. Has this been done before, i mean forum wise?
I think I haven't saw such thing. My best achievement in previous EPL season was probably 8 correct outcomes if I'm not mistaken and 20 or 20.5 points. Predicting all 10 outcomes is such difficult task.
BTW, @tyKiwanuka is doing impressive stuff so far, 4 exact scores. Though, it will be difficult to get many points from Juve game, he had their win 3:1, while we have boring 0:0 at halftime.

I took Bologna to win for our pool, but i'm pretty sure they will draw for sixth time in a row, aren't they? Lol  I just hope there will be goals scored, i have small parlay BTTS + Milan/Torino O8.5 corners for 2.30 total odds. Wish me luck!  Grin

edit; off to a good start lol, genoa to nil!

^ Have to really credit Milan for being the last among the Big Four European leagues to finally taste defeat, but they probably missed their best chance so far to deliver a psychological blow to the Old Lady. Saved myself some pain by not betting big on them, but it is still going to be looked back as a missed opportunity for them.
Both to score. The only market worth playing in Italy last two seasons. I never play anything else and the best thing is - the odds are still much better then in some other leagues. I had 4 BTS games from Italy yesterday which passed easy including Milan game. If I am not mistaken only Atalanta kept a clean sheet this week.

Too bad I needed one more game for insurance on Sportsbet and I was on the limb between PSG and Lille to win their games and I chose Lille for higher odds. In the end neither managed so it was a bust for sure but another free bet is here.

Good luck for your record, buddy;)

So, Milan got first defeat in Serie A this season, Juve had really solid game. And after this game, Juventus situation significantly improved, they are now just 7 points behind Miland and they still have one game in advance.

Last round we had a grand total of 6 exact scores between all of us, this round we are doing so much better, 20 exact scores already with two games left to be played. Almost everyone has 10+ pts and LTU_btc is killing it, he needs one close result and he will reach 20 (which i think will be a pool record so far).
Well, it shows how few exact scores can change everything. Until this round I probably had least exact predictions in whole pool and now I was able to get up from 9th to 7th place. Fun thing that I almost forgot to leave predictions - I had no idea that they can play midweek games so early, I thought it will be played in the evening.

I actually think that consolidation is happening and more normal results are on the way.

Question is whether you think Milan defeating Juve is normal? haha

Inter unexpectedly dropping three points + Juventus losing, that would be simply FantasticoGrin

It's an high scoring week generally! I've got 11.5 points so far... The fun fact is on Torino vs Verona match, we've got more users with the exact scores than those who were wrong about the result, and it was a uniform prediction..

Juventus losing, that would be simply FantasticoGrin

No, please! I've got a draw on this!!!

agree, if you are good in betting, does not matter where you are in the pool, at least from my point of view
I was at the bottom in the pool, for as long as the pool started, and still hoovering just above it, but I am still trying to be better

nevertheless, as long my betting experience is better than this, I am good with that

regarding the pool, I did not expected Atalanta performance, Sassuolo seem to be more stable this season, but Bergamo team is just playing for better or worse, and it does not matter who is actually in the team, they could beat everyone, and lose from every team in the same time

Well they can't loose from everyone in the league for sure, it's not that random team when it comes to Atalanta.

Me with the wooden spoon again. I wonder if Superbru has a special award for people who actually try very hard and still fall flat;) I've even managed to slide down across all the league pools in Superbru, embarrassingly at 75% in all of them, except global ones. And that's probably because of inactive players.

As long as I'm still winning in the betting, right guys?

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.
