Just stop season now and award title to Arsenal. We have 60 players in the pool, but just few of them managed to get points from 3 today's games. I was surprised to see West Ham not favoured by bookmakers against Brighton, but seems that it was not without reason. I have no words about City abd Chelsea results today, but this is why we love EPL.
Tonight's match is another tough one and I have no idea what's going to happen. Liverpool are on back to back draws against shitty teams and Man U are on two losses to shitty teams. I think there's either going to be lots of goals and a lot of cards/action, or they'll cancel each other out and it'll be a 0-0 bore draw or something. Liverpool are obviously the better team and are the favourites but Man U have the home advantage so I honestly don't know what to expect. I'll be watching it so I'm hoping it's lively at least. |

It's a shame that one judge tried to steal its result. There is no way AJ won 7 rounds. Glen Feldman should be banned from judging again. Here are the actual scorecards in the fight.  Here are the punch stats according to Compubox.  I think they really need to do something about boxing judges because half of the time they seem to be making shit up. Imagine how many boxers lose fights solely because of judges when in reality it should have been the opposite. Personally, I thought there was a couple of other robberies on that card. Richard Rivera was easily the better fighter and I thought Zhang Zhilei probably won as well. They should probably just start using the actual stats to determine the victor rather than the often biased opinion of judges. I also thought it was weird how the judges weren't all from neutral countries and had one from both England and Ukraine. I mean, really? You don't think they could be biased towards their fellow countrymen? In football international matches they always have neutral officials so why not boxing where it would be much easier to influence the outcome of a match when it's pretty much subjective. Looks like there's already talks for the Usyk/Fury fight: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19576401/tyson-fury-comeback-fight-oleksandr-usyk-saudi-arabia-december/Talks are ongoing about hosting it on December 17 - the day before the World Cup Final in neighbouring Qatar.
Al Saud said: “We’re interested, that’s all I can say. We are open to that. We’re bidding for a lot of events.
“If it does happen, it will be hosted in Riyadh. But we still haven’t decided on anything.”
Fury already has influential friends and financiers in Saudi Arabia after his WWE wrestling bout here in 2019.
Britain’s Gypsy King, 34, and Usyk, 35, would each net at least £50m. Saudi's have pockets deep enough to make this happen and looks like they're eager to so hopefully we see this before the end of the year. AJ got 65 million for this fight so I wouldn't be surprised if Fury gets near 100 Mill for this. |

I think it is high time Joshua retire, dude has paid his due, the tide is no longer in his favor. He should retire, before destroying and shattering all his good records. He actually fought a good fight, those body shots were on point and he landed more combination punches than the first fight. He hurt Usyk bad in the 9th round but Usyk is just special and stepped it up round 10-12 to win. Aside Fury I don’t think any of the current heavyweight top guys can beat Usyk and even with Fury he has a chance but Fury is just so big and long.
At 32 and still strong and with high motivation I don't think Joshua will do that, he can take a vacation and take out all the pressure, the last part of the boxer that will give is the mind, he is not giving up on himself his body can still take it, maybe another tune fight will get his motivation back he still has that power but lacks the ring generalship at 32 it is not yet late to reinvest himself, he can come back anytime, Foreman did it after many years off in boxing. AJ should just take some time off and fight whoever he can to try get his mojo back. He might end up being the mandatory again at some point so it's not over for him yet and the belts won't stay with either Usyk or Fury forever either. Fury will probably have one or two more championship fights in him before he actually retires. Retiring after Usyk wouldn't be a bad way to go especially if he unifies all the belts, and like I said yesterday it looks like Fury's current 'retirement' was just a money grab as he's now asking for the big bucks for the Usyk fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mD_W8qoYAThat fight really needs to happen. Usyk wants it, it's going to be both of their biggest paydays, and I don't think Usyk will trouble Fury too much so there's no reason why this fight shouldn't happen. |

What is happening to AJ? Has he lost his drive, his motivation, his hunger? I mean, because I do not understand what's been going on with this champ. Has he made so much money that his heart in no longer in the sport? Totally appalled and embarrassed with his performance in the ring. The AJ I watched today stands no fighting chance against Fury and Wilder.
What you're asking is like asking why Brighton lost 4-0 to Man City last weekend. He doesn't seem to have lost his drive at all and I think he wanted this win more than anything but he just couldn't beat a better man. He did much better this time around than last though I thought. I give him winning 3 rounds at least, and I think he did have Usyk stung in the 9th or 10th round or so, he just didn't have the gas tank to capitalise on it.
Usyk could be the greatest heavyweight boxer of this generation after all, and I wonder what's next for Joshua.
Nah. I really doubt it. I don't think he would trouble Fury too much, and I think Wilder would beat him as well. Hopefully we get to see him fight both though. Usyk and Fury really need to fight now. It's the logical match up. Fury might struggle to KO him but he'd win it on points I'm sure. Then again, If Fury can flatten Wilder I think he can do the same to Usyk. I think it is high time Joshua retire, dude has paid his due, the tide is no longer in his favor. He should retire, before destroying and shattering all his good records. He actually fought a good fight, those body shots were on point and he landed more combination punches than the first fight. He hurt Usyk bad in the 9th round but Usyk is just special and stepped it up round 10-12 to win. Aside Fury I don’t think any of the current heavyweight top guys can beat Usyk and even with Fury he has a chance but Fury is just so big and long.
Why do you think he should retire if he had a good fight? Most boxers don't retire after a couple of defeats. I still think AJ beats most other boxers, but Usyk, Fury and Wilder etc are all too good for him. I still would like to see him fight the latter two though. Without the belts the Fury fight would probably be at the tail end of their careers but I could see him against Wilder now that he's back. |

Fury definitely shouldn't be retiring when there's people like Usyk still to beat and I think he has to take those fights to cement his legacy.
You never know with Fury. I've been a fan forever, and I still don't know when he's being serious, and when he isn't. It annoys me to a certain extent, and while he's perfectly within his right, and will retire a legend. It just feels wrong to do so, when he could have two more fights against the these two men, and potentially cement his position as the best of his era, and no one would be able to argue it. Currently, we're always going to be like "what about AJ or Usyk". Even though, I'm quite confident he beats both of them, and almost certain he beats AJ, I still want to see it. I just hope he's playing mind games, and comes back regardless who wins. He's annoying a lot of people and people are starting to not take him serious. I always though his retirement shtick was just a ploy to try squeeze more money out of a potential fight. I.e. well I am retired but I'll come out of retirement if the price is right. He's obviously not serious anyway since he just offered Chisora 2 million for a fight and I think Chisora is very stupid and/or greedy to ask for more. He got $500,00 for his last fight against Pulev and I doubt he'll be getting even close to that for his next fights so he should have just taken the money. He's on tail end of his career as well so just take the money and retire rather than fighting a bum once a year for less than 100k a pop. Fury should 100% fight the winner of this match and let's face it that's probably going to be Usyk. Walking away when he can unify all the belts, get the biggest payday of his career and probably with out too much trouble seems silly. I guess we'll find out Fury's true intentions by the end of the month as he's going to have to vacate the belt. |
|
|

That is the logical thing to do and you rightly said he would probably beat Joshua or Usyk without too much hassle. Maybe the best way to make the most money would be to let the belts slips away and then fight the winner of the Joshua vs Usyk rematch as a contender rather than as a champion.. would Fury be able to command more money that way? Nah, no way. The opposite. The person who holds the belts holds most of the sway and can dictate most of the terms. Unless it's a mandatory fight then AJ or whoever could just refuse to fight Fury as there's nothing other than money that will make that fight happen. You might wonder why he would turn that down but if AJ knows or thinks he's likely to lose he could just go with the easier option or whoever the commission puts in front of him as mandatory. The best thing to do is for Fury to hold on to the belts but we will soon find out by the end of the month if he's serious about retiring. If AJ wins then I'm sure we will see Fury fighting him but either way I'd like to see Fury against whoever wins. Fury definitely shouldn't be retiring when there's people like Usyk still to beat and I think he has to take those fights to cement his legacy. |

What you said is true for all promoters  They have to keep pushing for extra publicity right up until both fighters get in the ring and as you rightly stated once it is all over AJ retires, Hearn will still be promoting the next possible champion. I do think there is a big chance Fury will be tempted out of retirement to fight Usyk or Joshua for a unification fight but first of this rematch needs to be settled. We will soon see. Fury has until august 26th and after that the belts will be vacated. The logical thing would be to just fight the winner here and I think Fury wins them both without much trouble so he'd be silly to walk away now. If AJ does win though I'd bet a lot of money that Tyson will step into the ring for that. Apparently and according to Hearn Fury did actually send a contract over to Chisora for the trilogy but not sure whether Chisora didn't want the fight on those terms of Fury withdrew the offer. This definitely won't be the last we've heard of Fury but maybe if he walks away from these belts at the end of the month he will just do the big blockbuster exhibition fights like Ngannou and Thor etc. |

The only way I see KSI fighting Jake is if KSI has improved massively since the Logan fight, which of course is possible but with only one fight under his belt we have no idea. Jake has come a long way in a short period of time so there's no reason why KSI couldn't either. I think taking on Jake Paul might be a bit of a leap for him though. I'm sure Jake would happily take this fight though because he like knows or at least thinks it's an easy fight for him. The more wins Jake gets under his belt the more his stuck rises so he's going to be desperate to keep that winning streak for the big boys that will come sniffing around soon enough.
From what I can gather, KSI hasn't been massively in shape the past few months, and only recently started to get toned up. I know that doesn't always mean a lot, since you have fight camps for a reason, but you'd expect him to look a bit better than he did if he was training constantly. Also, fights are different to sparring as I think anyone involved in the fighting business would agree too. He hasn't had proper fights, and rules, and regulations means he can't be going full on in the gym in sparring, unless the gym is absolutely terrible, and don't care for their fighters. However, I believe he has been training with Vidals dad, right? I have no doubt in my mind Jake would take this fight. KSI said Jake was avoiding him at the start of KSI's career, which might have been true, but I think the shoe is most certainly on the other foot now. Jake wins by KO, and I'm more of a fan than KSI than Jake. I would back a Jake KO too. I'd be surprised if KSI takes this fight, and especially if it was a winner takes all as he initially proposed. I'm sure he will have some excuses as to why it falls through and was just hot air. Personally, I'm hoping Jake just gets the Tommy Fury fight sorted. I'm sure it would be easy to do in the UK. No excuses for Tommy then and Jake gets the kudos of fighting a "real" boxer. It's a fight he can win too but not one that would be easy for hhim either but he needs a challenge. |

According to this link DAZN was outbid by SkySports therefore it is PPV with them but you are right, Youtube will be showing the fight live in Ukraine. I know Sky have got it for the UK but there's all the other rights across the world. I have German and Spanish Dazn and Dazn usually gets the rights for one of those or at least somewhere in the world. Hopefully Youtube don't block proxys and I can watch it there. Hearn seems to talk a lot of nonsense when he is in the mood. He is promoting Joshua and the only hope of him making more money off Joshua is if Joshua beats Usyk then manages to lure Fury out of retirement. Hearn never got over the fact he was outbid by Frank Warren for the previous Fury fight.
Fury is talking a lot of nonsense as well. A couple of months ago he said he was retired and done forever. Then he says he will fight for half a billion. Then he says he will fight AJ for free. Now he's seemingly trying to fight Chisora for the third time whilst also calling out Thor. I think Hearn was right when he said he was just trying to take away the attention from AJ right now. Is he seriously serious about any of those fights? You don't know what to believe with that guy. I think the logical fight is to fight the winner of this match. The big money fight would obviously be with AJ but it's going to take a miracle for him to emerge victorious from this fight. |

They both agree to it. Seems pretty official to me. It's literally straight from the horses mouth. Given that the last two of Jake's "official" fights were cancelled, I think this is as official as it gets until they step into the ring.
Are you new to boxing? Agreeing to something on twitter is not a done deal nor is it legally blinding. I don't think KSI agreed to it either, just proposed it not expecting Jake to agree to it. Do you know how many fighters have agreed to fight publicly then one of them backs out or doesn't go though with it? Happens every month. Fights fall through even after both parties have everything agreed but just need to put pen to paper and sign off on it. Eddie Hearn says he's lost count of how many fights have fallen through because the fighters couldn't agree on something as simple as who gets to walk out first or who's name takes first billing. Two fighters saying they fight will on Twitter is just the first of many steps, and that's assuming KSI wasn't just chatting shit in the first place and just trying to get attention for his upcoming fight which is probably going to bomb seeing as he's fighting a nobody now and it's on PPV as well. Can't see many people paying for that. I find it a little hard to believe he'd turn down $40 million dollars to promote anything, but if he did, good for him. It sounds like he's got bigger plans of making a whole lot more than that, which I wish him luck. If he turned down $40 million from Stake though, he's just plain dumb unless it came with some sort of no-compete clause. I'm sure he's exaggerating the amount but it may have worked out to that over the contract time if a genuine offer. I believe Drake is getting millions a month from Stake so Jake would probably get a similar deal, but if Jake is starting his own company then why just take money from another company when you can make that and more with your own company? He has his own boxing promotions company and will get free advertising on all his and his fighters cards so it's a no brainer really. Why promote a brand when you can become the brand. He could easily become bigger than Stake the way he's going. I've thought the KSI vs Jake Paul fight has been dead in the water for a long time. Jake Paul has clearly advanced beyond KSI's skill level. It would be a stupid fight on all levels. Jake Paul likely gets the finish, while KSI loses stock. I don't blame KSI wanting to duck that fight if the rumours are true. He would simply not benefit from it other than the share of the purse he would be guaranteed.
Jake Paul, despite what some might think of him has become a real boxer. He has dedicated the last few years to building a reputation in the sport, and while he might have cherry picked his opponents who doesn't when they're just starting out. Hell, I think big names like Joshua, and Fury cherry picked their opponents quite late into their careers. It's only now they're at the top level, they aren't so much. Although, Fury generally went for the more tougher opponents than AJ.
I doubt KSI would actually want this fight either and he's already coming out with excuses. He could have fought him in London but would rather fight a nobody. His upcoming fight this month is almost certainly going to be a flop. The only way I see KSI fighting Jake is if KSI has improved massively since the Logan fight, which of course is possible but with only one fight under his belt we have no idea. Jake has come a long way in a short period of time so there's no reason why KSI couldn't either. I think taking on Jake Paul might be a bit of a leap for him though. I'm sure Jake would happily take this fight though because he like knows or at least thinks it's an easy fight for him. The more wins Jake gets under his belt the more his stuck rises so he's going to be desperate to keep that winning streak for the big boys that will come sniffing around soon enough. |

Does anyone know if Dazn has got any of the worldwide rights to this fight? According to wiki it does but there's no source and I can't see anything official from dazn or on their socials: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleksandr_Usyk_vs_Anthony_Joshua_IIWorst comes to worse I'm hoping a Ukrainian proxy will be ok to watch the fight on Usyk's own YouTube channel which he got the rights for. How does he know Usyk hasn't been doing the same? There's no way he's just going to walk into this like it's an easy fight and I'm sure Usyk will be prepared, but he also has the added insight on now having fought him before. Personally, I expect a similar result, but AJ is going to have to go in for the kill this time if he doesn't want a repeat of this first fight. I can see him doing that but tiring early on and if so maybe we will see a knock out from Usyk. |

Looks like the Jake Paul vs KSI fight is official now. They're not doing it until next year for some reason, which seems like a lot of downtime for Jake who was ready to fight now... I think this is one of the lamest fights that Jake could make, but I guess he's running out of options. Personally, I would have much rather seen him fight McGregor or Andrew Tate, but I guess those guys don't feel like Jake is near their level yet. I will be happy when this youtube boxing stuff is over with and must admit I'm surprised Jake has been able to carry this on for so long.
It's far from official. They've just verbally agreed to the fight on Twitter. It might make it more interesting if it's a winner takes all fight as KSI requested: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/breaking-jake-paul-accepts-ksis-27685364Jake Paul has accepted KSI's offer of a winner-takes-all fight at Wembley next year.
The YouTube rivals have a long-running rivalry which dates back to KSI's two fights with Paul's elder brother Logan. The pair have traded insults for three years without agreeing to fight but now appear close to an agreement.
KSI had tweeted earlier on Monday: "I'm going to send you a contract. We fight next year. Wembley Stadium. Winner of the fight takes all. 100 per cent of the purse will be on the line. Put your money where your mouth is and let’s finally end this. Will you accept Jake Paul?"
Paul later replied: "Good morning guy 'fighting' rapper with t-shirt on. Your hometown and winner takes all. 1000 per cent I accept, but one condition… you have to reply and admit that as of TODAY when it comes to boxing, I am better." KSI replied: As of today in boxing you're better. Let's run it b****." I'm not sure if KSI will keep his end of the bargain though. Jake has a lot of options either way: Tommy Fury, KSI, Cobra Tate and probably Nate Diaz. I'd like to see him fight any and all to be honest. I still think KSI would be an easy fight for Jake unless KSI has improved massively rom his last fight. It seems Jake is starting his own Sports media company / Betting site as well called Betr: https://twitter.com/jakepaul/status/1556641526612205571https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/jake-paul-joey-levy-media-gambling-betr-1235189371/Social media personality and Disney Channel star turned professional boxer Jake Paul is getting back into the media business, and he’s doing it with a sports betting twist.
Paul and business partner Joey Levy have raised $50 million to launch a new media and micro-betting company called Betr, with plans to develop sports media properties and eventually build out a sports betting business built around the so-called micro-bets (instead of betting on the outcome of a game, think betting on the outcome of the next pitch, or the next play). He also says he turned down 40 million to promote a Crypto casino. I wonder if that was Stake? |

Never make it to production? They just built an entire factory for it… I get that hating on other people’s products is a bit of a theme around here, but Tesla care what haters on this forum think. The Cybertruck is going to be made, it’s going to be badass, I’m going to own one (if I can stay alive long enough) and what I’m most looking forward to is all the hate from people who don’t understand what an amazing innovation the exoskeleton is. I just hope they produce mine before these things start turning smart cars into pancakes and Tesla is forced to stop producing them.
Tesla does or doesn't care? I don't believe they built a factory solely for Cybertucks but even if they did I'm sure they will just produce other models there if it doesn't go into full production. I'm not a 'tesla hater' either. More of a Cybertruck realist, but it sounds like you might be one of the Tesla fanboys suchmoon mentioned above. How do you know it's going to be badass? I really hope it is, believe me. I've said in this very thread I don't think there's a vehicle I'd like to own more right now and would buy one today if it was around 50k and looked like the prototypes, but is it going to be? I really hope the thing is a success as I don't think I've seen more of a futuristic and individualistic vehicle but I think there's dozens of things that could go wrong with this or stop it from being a huge success. They really need to keep the costs down but I struggle to see how they can make a profitable car at a reasonable price. In its current form it almost certainly won't be road legal in Europe and many other countries without some significant design changes and I can't see what changes could be made to make it safe without completely changing the design/look. I'm really hoping Elon can get all the issues worked out and would happily love my cynicism of the project to be proved wrong but I am very sceptical. There just seems to be far too many issues and things holding it back without the original design being greatly compromised or going way over the stated retail price. |

I have a preorder in we will see what happens next year.
It will be watered down even more, and will cost six figures... like everyone except Elon's fanboys been saying for the last three years. Tesla’s Cybertruck, that object of intense fascination and ridicule that may or may not go into production next year, was supposed to start at the extremely attractive price of $39,900. But that was back in 2019 when the Cybertruck was first announced, and as Tesla CEO Elon Musk put it recently, “a lot has changed” since then.
Speaking at his company’s annual shareholder meeting, Musk said that the Cybertruck’s specs and price “will be different,” citing inflation and other “various issues” that have cropped up in the three years since the electric truck was first unveiled.
What "changed" is that reality started catching up with child's drawings. As I said before, I'd be very surprised if it was released at that cost price or anywhere near it. How can it possibly be the cheapest Tesla? It wouldn't surprise me if it ends up being one of the most expensive if not the most expensive. I'm sure it will be more close to 100k than 40. I also don't think I'd be shocked if it never makes it to production either as with many concept cars. It would be a shame but how successful will it be if it's post 100k? It'll probably just be a niche item for the rich who like it for it's uniqueness. Instagram: Vs reality: |

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-11087331/Fighters-scheduled-Jake-Paul-undercard-paid-50-contracted-purse.htmlYouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul will pay all fighters scheduled for undercard of his cancelled Hasim Rahman Jr bout '50% of their contracted purse' from his own pocket Love him or hate him this is why you have to respect Jake Paul. How many other boxers would have done this? Mayweather still hasn't paid Logan for his fight. At least Jake puts his money where his mouth is regarding fighter pay. Jake Paul is calling out Andrew Tate now after his last two opponents haven’t been able to find their way into the ring. I think Andrew Tate is one of the few people that is hated more than Jake Paul is. I’d love to see this fight and I’m not sure how well Andrew Tate can box, but given his ego I think there’s a decent shot of a fight like this happening and drawing an audience. The only thing is that I’m not sure Andrew Tate needs the money.
Hehehe if Jake Paul gives a good offer for Andrew Tate and Andrew accepts, this will be one of the highest payperviews in the history of the sport of boxing. Andew Tate has become quite the internet personality that is being idolized by young people for his life counseling in social media. This would be an interesting fight. Andrew was a half-decent kickboxer and is pretty hot right now so it would sell tickets. Obviously not being able to use his feet the advantage would be towards Jake, especially with him being a lot younger. I'd watch it, but I'm still hoping for the Tommy fight.

He floated the Andrew Tate fight, but I don't think Tate would accept to be honest. He seems to have turned his focus to KSI now. He's been posting all day long on Twitter and making videos about how KSI is ducking him. Jake Paul agreed to fight in London at 180lbs and even said that he would fight FOR FREE. I think there's a chance it will actually happen because of that. It seems like for KSI, this is the no-brainer fight to take. Although if Jake Paul destroys him, it would probably show that him and Logan Paul aren't the amazing fighters they were built up as. Jake Paul would spark KSI out easy and I think both Jake and KSI know it. KSI v Logan Paul was a very close fight even though KSI technically won and Jake is a much better fighter. KSI will probably have a lot of excuses why he won't take this fight, but I'd be surprised if he accepts Jake as essentially a step in. It would sell much more if they built and hyped this fight up rather than Jake being just a replacement fighter. I'd watch it and I think Jake wins this easy so it will only add to Jakes hype.

What a pleasure to finally have PL running again, solid start by Arsenal as well.
Regarding the yellow cap, is it a freebet prize in every round or is it only for the highest cap throughout the season?
Looks like you won the yellow cap though it isn't showing so right now. So I guess Ronaldo is back in the menu now?  He probably couldn't get a favourable deal with another club sorted out in time so was forced to stay. I'm sure he will leave as soon as he can as he obviously doesn't want to not play Champion's League football. The transfer window doesn't close until 1st of Sept I think so I think it's likely he will leave by then but for a player of his stature it's difficult to get a contract sorted and he's obviously going to command the biggest paycheques so that complicates things as well. If any team in the CL offers him the same wages that he's on now or maybe even a little less I'm sure he will take it. |

So, today is the day! Folks, congratulations with a start of new season. Wish luck for your supported teams and don't lose too much in betting  Almost 60 participants, not bad. I see many new names and seems that not everyone already joined Superbru. But damn, this season it will be even more difficult to get yellow cap. We have 59 slots paid for at least. Someone is going to pay me over the weekend so that's 60. Here are the final payouts: 1 0.1 (£1910) 2 0.05 (£955) 3 0.04 (£764) 4 0.03 (£572) 5 0.02 (£381) 6 0.015 (£286) 7 0.014 (£267) 8 0.013 (£248) 9 0.012 (£229) 10 0.011 (£210) 11 0.01 (£190) 12 0.005 (£95) 13 0.005 14 0.005 15 0.005 16 0.0025 (£47) 17 0.0025 18 0.0025 19 0.0025 20 0.0025 Any additional people that join the money will likely go to the highest overall yellow cap. A few people have said they will pay so there should be at least another one or two users. There are still a handful of people who haven't joined the superbru pool yet. Don't worry if you haven't or don't have a link yet, just make sure your predictions are in on superbru and they will carry over. If you haven't paid but are thinking about it as above just make sure your scores are in on Superbru and they will carry over to our pool once you join. First game is tonight at 8pm so don't forget about it. Don't worry too much if you miss that though as you get some default picks by superbru where they pick the most popular score for you. |

The first game is tonight so don't forget about that. If anyone is thinking of playing but can't pay yet I will give people a week or two to pay.

A couple of people have said they will pay so we should hit that. Any additional places will now just go towards a prize for the highest overall yellow cap (the highest weekly round score for those who haven't played before). This is my first time in the pool, so I want to clarify some things: what is the forecast deadline? Crystal Palace vs Arsenal are playing tomorrow at 21:00, what is the latest time I can make a prediction? And what does "Lock" mean in the forecast interface? Until I press the lock can I change my prediction?
You can put in and change your picks right up until kick off as long as you don't lock them. Helpful if you change your mind or there's team news updates, but I find it's best to stick to your guns or gut feeling rather than change them as you tend to shoot yourself in the foot more often than not I find.

You cannot see other people's predictions until you press the lock button, and once your tip is locked, you cannot edit it! The deadline for predictions is before kickoff. You have from now till 20:58 to put in your prediction. And if you don't lock your picks you can change them until each particular game starts. You will still be able to change other results after Arsenal game starts, just be sure to not lock the picks. It is not necessary and is done automatically when games start. As igehhh said locking only gives you insight into what other players picked. I am sometimes using that to make a betting decisions as double check that my expected result is actually the one most people expect. Okay, thanks for the explanations. I don't really see much point in peeking at other people's predictions, but I agree that when I bet I often need "approving" opinions or similar predictions in order to be more courageous in betting. Often, some odds seem too good and it's hard to believe that there's no catch in them. Well it's like you said. People often want to go with the crowd or if you can see others picks you could play it strategically, especially in the later rounds where points are vital or in the last game of the round if you're trying to win the yellow cap. |
