And what am I supposed to say after descending by 16 places to 32nd position?
Well, the whole thing reminds me of a poker tournament with around 50 participants. With 2 rounds out of 38 played, we are at the very beginning. It's like the first 15 minutes in a 4 hours+ tournament. @arallmuus you play poker and you know what does being at the bottom at that stage mean, right? It means nothing. You can still take down the tournament.

Also I am quite sure that default picks are taking preffered pick from whole Superbru community and not just our pool.

That's what I think too. And I'm wondering wouldn't it be better in the case of total uncertainty to leave it to the Superbru community to decide for me? The whole community can't be very wrong, or can they?

Well you along with Sojourner ( buwaytress(?) ) and Harkorede had the exact same points for now so yeah you will need to keep getting all those correct results prediction if you want to stay on top
Yeah, that's me:) I've been trying my luck requesting a username change on the forum to Sojourner (which is my name everywhere else usually) but I'll keep trying;)
Nice job Harko and swog. I never imagined myself top for 2 weeks too, I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
Toma, bag some wins with the freebet, yeah? I'll support the ban for you if you win again
Welsh: wooden spoon's awesome.

I've put in scores for like 2/3 weeks just in case I miss them since I'm expecting to be somewhat busy over these weeks. I'm somewhat happy with my performance in the leaderboard at the moment. Literally, if it wasn't for Liverpool who I've guessed the correct score 2/2 times, I'd be significantly worse off than I am right now.
Yeah, that's rare. There's usually one or two crazy fuckers who predict some crazy upset. Sometimes I'm like wtf are these guys doing and then the score comes in 
.
Like I said before, this week is probably the last chance you'll get to sign up without being at a significant disadvantage. If you sign up now you will be given six points. The bottom three have 3.4, 4.5 and 5.5 so you'll be joint 40th but still have everything to play for.
I might just start putting in some crazy scores on teams like Leeds. I'll at least be playing for something. Even if that is the wooden spoon. .Like I said before, this week is probably the last chance you'll get to sign up without being at a significant disadvantage.

Tomahawk is this round's yellow cap. Is he gonna run away with it again? He's half a point behind first place and last season I think he held onto that position since the third round or something. If that happens again I will have to assume he's cheating and ban him from all further competitions .
Yeah, things like these can be quite surprising. The pool consists of 40+ people, the 100% conviction on United winning away from home is an anomaly.

Wow after two weeks I am leading the pack and this is an amazing feeling.I never knew I would manage even for just a week to be at the top of the leaderboard. I guess it is because I found 8 results out of 10 games and this gave me 2 slam points which led me to the top of the leaderboard,great going so far.

congratulations to you guys for this very good score.
i was able to climb up 19 places after this matchday and had predicted my first exact result with the match arsenal vs. chelsea 0-2
i am already looking forward to the next matchday with the game liverpool vs. chelsea among others

You don't need to lock your picks unless you want to take a peak what was the choices of other people in the pool. I never lock my picks so I can tinker with them until match starts. Not that it helps me, usually ends with me getting less points then what my initial pick would bring.
I didnt know that we can choose not to lock it and it will be automatically locked, thats fancy. I locked in my predictions like way ahead sometimes and I thought we had to lock it manually or else it will be counted as not making any predictions for the match. Good to know, might be useful in case I need to change my prediction before the match start

Too bad I didn't lock my pick on the West Ham vs Leicester City game
Didnt you lock it?
or was this the default picks from Superbru because most of our pools chose Leicester to win so you are locked with Leicester to win as a default.
Also I am quite sure that default picks are taking preffered pick from whole Superbru community and not just our pool.
I didn't lock it, I was actually talking about the temptation of changing it, If it were to be locked I wouldn't have had the imagination of trying to change it, changing it really wouldn't have mattered because I would have gone for 1 - 0 win for West Ham if I were to go for West Ham. It just isn't my week yet I'd but still, so far so good.

Whoever's backed Hammers should be smiling, which is the bookies and about 18 of you;) Leicester haven't got a single shot on goal and then Perez does the dirty on Fornals, can't argue against the sending off really. Going to be a long night for Brendan Rodgers if he can't claw his way back into this. Don't know what I was thinking, they did look suspect against Wolves heh.

but my pick has been Leicester City
Well at least the default picks will helps you get some points in case if Leicester win but if its a draw or West Ham win then Tomahawk9 is going to win the Yellow Cap for the week so goodluck to either one of you. Its not looking good for Leicester though, 1-0 for West Ham and a red card for Leicester.

Too bad I didn't lock my pick on the West Ham vs Leicester City game, now I'm second myself looking at the line up, it's tough to make some picks, but it's even tougher today that the week is literally dependent on it... Everyone (including the Bookies) is fancying West Ham to win or draw, but my pick has been Leicester City since I made my picks during the weekend... I'm probably going to stick with my guts here, I hope I'm right though
It looks like this round winner will be tomahawk if West Ham wins,we have the same result 2-1 for West Ham.I think Leicester stands no chance right now as they got a red card.I am still happy that will get the close points plus a slam point and overall I am doing pretty well in the leaderboard so far.

I had draw as well and that game dropped me way down in rankings. Did not watch the game but from what I read and saw in stats Wolves deserved something from that game. Probably even a win.

did not watched the match as well, but had Wolves to win in the pool, and expected to have that one, but obviously fast goal by Tottenham took them down psychologically, and they could not score, although having good statistics
since I was on the bottom until the middle of the season, everything in the upper part is great, and I happy with the start after two rounds
missed Everton as well, expected a win from them, I think that Leeds will struggle this season, but ended as a draw
consensus on United win is a surprise for me, although we all pick United to win, so should not be surprised
August 23, 2021, 07:47:29 AM
I have no exact predictions in this round so far, but I hope my West Ham - Leicester prediction will do the job.
I just locked it at 2 - 2, and I can see that 15.9% of us did the same.
Good Luck to all of us! Especially I need it, cos I'm down from 16th to 31th place.
Right now we have 47 players:
We are so close to the addition of another 0.1 BTC to the prize pool. Am I right that we need just 3 more participants? Because it looked like we needed 4 just 3 hours ago.

I was even more surprised to see that 83% of the pool backed Tottenham to win away at Wolves. Ultimately they did win, I went for a draw and that one will probably cost me the yellow cap.

Probably even a win.Looking forward to West ham - Leicester tonight, I expect a good game with lots of goals. My bet goes on both to score but ML is very tough to predict so still waiting on my pool prediction.

There was a huge conviction on a Chelsea win as well, but considering my love for Arsenal that one I do understand. Bookies however trusted Arsenal way more than us here.
August 23, 2021, 05:21:01 AM
Don't forget there's a game on tonight. The Monday games seem to catch a lot of people out. This one is hard to call a winner so will probably go for the draw.
Manchester United I think let us all down today,I thought they would manage to win but Southampton is a strong team when playing in their home field so not that a big upset for me.At least I got the correct score in Tottenham game today which is keeping me in the top ten for two consecutive weeks so far.I think in both remaining games of this week I will manage to get some points more hopefully and let's see how things unfold in the future.So far is really tight at the top.
Surprisingly not a single person backed the draw or even a home win.
By the way, if anyone still wants to play this week is probably the last chance to sign up without missing out on a lot of points. Superbru gives you 15 'default picks' if you miss the games based on the most likely result and if you sign up now you will be given six points automatically. The current bottom of the table player has 7 points so you'll only be one point behind them and the first place has 26.5 so there's still everything to play for. If we can get 4 more players the pot will be at 0.2 and first place will probably be 0.1. Don't forget the person who also gets the highest points in the weekly round receives a free £50 bet from sportsbet as well and there's 32 chances to win them throughout the season. Just PM me if you want to play but can't pay just yet and I'll give you until the end of the month to do so.
Not the greatest round for me, my fault for relying on Manchester United . Liverpool on the other hand have been brilliant for me, scoring me maximum points for their game both weeks. I might need to start watching some of the other teams in the Premier League to actually get a little closer on the scores. I thought Manchester United's hype after the Leeds game was unwarranted.
