Well three correct scores for me and the bastard of the week with the first yellow cap Cheesy

. I narrowly missed out on four other correct scores by one goal, two of those games screwing me over in the last few minutes with a late goal. Imagine getting seven correct scores. Would have got me a cash prize of £500. I suspect missing out on a lot of games just by one goal will be quite common though and that's why it's so difficult to do so. Aiminbg for 5 correct scores from one round though to get myself a proper yellow cap Cheesy

Well, I started predicting my usual 3-0 scoreline that served me so well last season, but it looks like a lot of people are now liking this 3-0 scoreline. Credit to LFC and slaman for going even 1 better and getting the full 3 points for 4-0. Well done!

Salah scores, Mane got a brace, Firminho came close. Shaqiri looked lively, Sturridge got his 20 seconds after coming on. Can't say Alisson made any noteworthy saves so credit to Gomez in defence for helping VVD ensure we never needed to test our new keeper.

Couldn't be a better game really, except a small tarnish of a yellow card for Trent, but I like that fire in our players. Klopp hasn't changed much, subbed strikers at 3-0 up and hungry for more in the last 5 minutes, but maybe this opener was much needed.

I had Liverpool to win 3-1 and they won 4-0 so I think I couldn't get the close 1.5 points to the game. Had also a shock result with Burnley to win on Southampton 0-1 but it is a lost game for me. Main game starts just after a bit and I placed a really funny score on it.

So now this contest is sponsored by cloudbet, really?
I think it's different and I send the entrance fee again Cheesy

do I have to ask it to be returned or how? Roll Eyes

I didn't get any response, if it can't be returned it doesn't matter to me. I just want to know what your response is.

This is the first txid : 6ea79c14b426ab31578423ce4d160684d2f667af2ad3e86cbdda96d82a22a27a

That happened because I saw this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cloudbets-english-premier-league-football-pool-0005-to-join-prize-pot-021-4863740
I think it's different from this one, and I want to participate in both but it turns out that it's the same Pool.

because at first the title of this thread is different, but after I see it again it has changed and both are the same.

Slam point is awarded to the persons with the most correct scores in a single round of 10 games. It used to be 5 and up , but apparently it is being given even if you get less than that. For more you can see the explanation here.

https://www.superbru.com/news/introducing-the-slam-point?a=introducing-the-slam-point

No you get slam points for having 5 or more correct outcomes. Like I only got 2 exact scores correct but also 3 correct scores = 5 correct outcomes, so 1 slam point. 8-9 gets you 2 slam points. 10 gets you the most.

So I guess it is just to reward people who got a lot of correct outcomes (winner or draw) but keep getting the exact goals wrong.

Looks like I'm first place so far but still so early. I hate peaking early. hsports got THREE exact scores!

Interesting scoring system, I didn't know we will get 1.5 points for close score, probably half players will have very close results in few weeks.
So far I have 3 close, 2 exact and 2 miss and I see several of us received 1 "slam point" which adds to total score, but not to points Huh

Does anyone know what is "slam point"?

Look like I am not bad at all just check standing on second with 2 exact and 3 close now seventh is also going good as Wolves going to win today go Wolves go Cheesy

Yes you are doing great, however I see something common for many people taking place in the pool betting, never seen a score that starts with a 3 , and maximum I have seen is 2 , this may result is some deceiving in the longer term. This is my friendly suggestion to all.

Meh... Had Newcastle vs Spurs at 1 - 1. Didn't think Poch will deploy a strong squad considering some of his key players need rest for another weekend or two... Less injury risk.

Same with me, had Newcastle at 1-1 against Tottenham. Well until now I am getting all the games live normal result, but I need a few goals for the correct score and hopefully to receive the first point of the week for me.

Really didn't think it'd stay 2-1 from half-time.

I had Man Utd 2-0 Leicester, Vardy fucked that up for me.
Locked my picks this morning so I could see what everybody else has predicted, quite an interesting tool that is, good that you can’t change your picks once you see everybody else's.

I told you about 2-1 being a very popular score:

I am tempted to try 1 strategy for the whole season in a separate pool: just predict 1-1 draws for all the teams every single week,,, if I recall rightly, there was one season where there were 7 teams who scored 1-1 in one week. But I think 7 correct scores if you make 10 pools and try everything, you have 10 chances every week, and 38 weeks = 380 chances.

Well you're certainly free to try and who knows how well it will do, but I don't think 1-1 would be the score to go for nor do I think sticking with one result will do you very well in the grand scheme of things. I usually find 2-1 is a very popular score, but I wouldn't want to back it for the whole season and wouldn't be much fun for me doing that. However, if you want to pay in another 0.0005 and have one for the same score as an experiment feel free to join on another account.

I wonder how well you would do backing it for the entire season.

If anyone else wants to join then there's still time as you've only missed one game so far. Couple of people have expressed interest via PM but still need to pay to play.

I had 1-1 and I think without the penalty the game would have ended in the 1-1 result. Boy was I surprised when I saw all those people with the correct score, good start for the Betting pool by them. Still I predicted a lot of upset results in today and tomorrow games, let's see how it will go.

Well, I predicted 2-1 Leicester, and had Vardy been on earlier (boy, was he lively) and that silly penalty not been given away, who knows? But such is the risk of backing the unlikely result. Odds were over 7/1 for Leicester, but I was taken aback by how well they still could play even after losing Mahrez. Some confusion in midfield for sure, but the way Childwell (sp?) kep roving up gives me hope that they don't go down this season.

Not a bad first game I'd say. Even Mourinho looked super relieved.

I got quite a few against the bookies this week too. Let's see.

P.S. Took me a while to find this thread! Had to search back my post history but good on CB.

Robbed of full points by a 92nd minute Jamie Vardy goal. Disappointing. Not to worry though, I've got 9 100% accurate predictions coming up in the next few days. Grin
