I can only see others' predictions after I've locked in my own picks. Is it different in private leagues? As you say, seeing others' picks before you choose your own ruins the entire point of the game - glad you can remove it.

I don't know. You haven't joined our league yet though, right? Once you lock in your prediction you can't change them at all? If they only show after you've locked them and can't change your own scores then that's probably fine.

That's correct. I joined a random public league just to get a feel for things. Trying to view other predictions prior to making my own was met with an error message. After I had locked in my own picks and they were no longer editable, I could see "Community Stats", which is a list of scores with what percentage of people had picked each scoreline.

Would definitely be good if we can remove the option to see others predictions. That makes a joke of the whole pool if people are able to do that.

I’d defo be in favour of removing that option.

This. Maybe we can wait for the first few weeks to pass and check if it is true. There is no problem in seeing other people picks after yours are locked. It worked like this in the past.

You can probably pay at the later date if it is necessary. i don't believe anybody will be copying results in the beginning of our pool

The deadline to change it is Saturday 25 Aug 12:30, so it'll have to be done by then if so.

I particularly like that you can see the community's picks after you've made your picks - got a good chuckle at the guy who predicted Huddersfield to beat Chelsea 9-0.

I don't and I'll likely be changing that. It's one of the paid features to remove others from seeing your scores, but it's only £3. I don't mind people seeing my picks after kick off but people can cheat if they see them in advance or it will definitely influence other's choices even if subliminally. If you're in first place you could just copy the second place's choice and they'll never catch up. Happened to a mate of mine who used to do Fantasy football and it ruined it for him.

I just created a league on the fantasy prediction if anyone wants to join it. Pin is: 2475654-564008

We'll see how it goes but I won't be taking in any money for it unless any of you want to play with money between yourselves.

hmm actually the main reason I joined the pool in first place is to see who is doing good and follow some of the guys' plays Grin

but yeah got your point
I don't care much about the prize here since my goal is to profit betting , but yeah I guess some people won't share their plays and analysis because of the leaderboard

the games discussion threads have a lot of spam , so would you guys be interested in joining a telegram group where we share our plays ?
I mentioned that idea in the WC pool and guess some people liked the idea , if you are interested guys just pm me your telegram and I will add you to a group where we can share plays and info about tipsters and resources

As much as I enjoy Fantasy Football, I don't want to give up my anonymity by joining the league, and I definitely don't want to run two teams, so I'll give that one a miss. Thanks though.

Just made my predictions, will get the money sent over tomorrow. Superbru site is nice actually, easy to navigate and to use. I particularly like that you can see the community's picks after you've made your picks - got a good chuckle at the guy who predicted Huddersfield to beat Chelsea 9-0.

BTC sent. And wow I didn't realize that the league is gonna start next week... That was fast, but not too much excitement on the transfer window this year (for me at least). I guess some clubs are waiting til the last minute, like Daniel Levy of the Spurs as usual. A curious move.

Spura are moving into that new stadium which has obviously cost a lot of money to build. Maybe they don’t have much or any to spend.

Edit - Just submitted predictions for week 1. Just to be sure, we’re doing score predictions only & not fantasy league? I can’t be bothered to do fantasy league.

It's the same sort of game as last time, only the points have changed slightly. I'll probably set up a free to play one for the fantasy league and see how that goes. I'm not sure I'll even stick with it though. Depends how much work it is. I tried signing up for the Premier League site yesterday but it just wasn't processing for some reason.

I'll probably send everyone who has paid the details on how to join the league in Monday.

I'll get around to sending my payment later today. I checked out the Superbru site, and it looks good enough for me. Watched the Liverpool friendly last night, and they seem like they could cause some waves in the premier league this season. Predicting their score lines won't be easy though.

They've definitely got a shot this season, but topping City will be tough. Wouldn't look too much into friendlies either.

Well I guess before the tournament starts which is Friday, though there's nothing stopping you from paying during the tournament like a couple did last season, but this will obviously put you at a disadvantage if you miss rounds.

Thanks. I'll get you paid well before Friday.

Add my name to the list for the £25 pool. When's the deadline for payment? Would be super helpful if I could have until Monday to send it, but can arrange to do so earlier if necessary.

I doubt we will change from the Superbru site. I actually quite like it and seems reliable from what others have mentioned. You can also make your predictions for the entire season in advance if you wanted to, so that would be great for people who might be afk or going on holiday or whatnot. As I mentioned before, getting consolation points for a near-result is also good.

I'll wait till everybody has paid before I work out the prizes, but there will be some small consolation ones for users who get the highest points from a round so everyone still has something to play for even if it becomes apparent you likely won't win one of the main prizes.

Thanks hilarious for getting this together, I've made my payment (tx id in PM). The Cloudbet sponsorship is crazy awesome too. Probably means more wiggle room for consolation prizes, and sweeten the winnings for the top winners. Good on them (and thanks CB).

I think we should just decide on Superbru for now, so everyone has the chance to sign up and familiarise with the system in the remaining few days before the first game. I'm Sojourner/buwaytress on there (not sure which username will show up), I've put in all my predictions already.

Not one for fantasy league. Tried a few but ultimately don't have the time it deserves to do decently.
