Ok thanks for letting me know. Just done it, now let me go and edit my post in the Games and Rounds so I do everything correctly and there is no room for misunderstandings. I will change correct score from 2-0 to 2-1 for Man.City for tomorrow game, just my feeling.

You can edit the scores right up until kick off on the BBC site. You don't need to update or even post your scores in games and rounds either. I've also gone for 2-1 for tomorrow's game but I've done shit this week haha.

I got 40 points for this week, again... hahahaha... Not bad.. 

I got around the same number of points as you.  And sadly I don't agree that it's 'not bad' because it's really below average tbh.

As for Sunday's results.  Bleh...  I got both matches wrong!  Lol.

@tokeweed Aside from a couple of good runs with football "tipstering" last season, I've always known I'm a pretty poor betting guy when it comes to football. I tend to play a bit too close to overturning statistics, guilty of football fallacy. For example, Player X hasn't scored in 5 games, it's about time or as in this Week 2, Man Utd can't get 2 big wins in a row (then they go and make history with 2 opening 4-0 wins).

I suppose this week's 60 points is a big improvement from last week's 20... but again my "shock predictions" turned out shit. Leicester's 2-0 prediction was my saving grace.

Newcastle! Spurs! Where were you? Anyway, predicted a minor 1-1 shock draw for today's match and it's still scoreless at 20 minutes =D

[ajaxmoor]

Thank you cicciobtc(150 was for the week though). But like someone said, we still have a long way to go. Could change in just a day.

[tokeweed]

Alright!  I got my predictions down and waiting for the matches.  I'm fairly confident that this is my week and I'm gonna blow everyone away this time.  So excited!

GL everyone! 

[BitcoinSupremo]

I also saved my predictions since yesterday , both in BBC predictor which is the main source for the competition but I also did post in the games and rounds thread for anyone who wants to have a look. I am not superstitious so I don't care if my predictions are public or not.

I think this week has some games that will be very close and too tough to call. I'm not expecting to get many points from this week to be honest but maybe I'll get lucky.

Well it's not really about superstition but if you're a good predictor people can just copy your results.

So far this is my worst week ever in the tournament, only 20 points so far. I hope to improve with the 4 games of today but seeing results until know of this week I am not confident anymore.

Your worst week?
Yesterday I forgot to save bloody predictions! Lol

That's still better than winning nothing(no offense to malboroza). I'm also not doing well this week 40 points with 2 games left and my target is to reach 50 or more at the end of this round. Almost everyone's score are very close though only a couple of correct scores would make you go to the top again.

[Wendigo]

Oh boy I just checked the predictor status page for the first time and I am at the rock bottom lol  I hope for an epic comeback before the winter break comes 

[buwaytress]

I didn't do too badly the past two weeks, as it turned out! Newcastle's win (finally) for example. But Manchester City's last gasp goal to give me an exact 2-1, tonight's WBA-Stoke goal apiece were the 80 points. Too bad Sturridge HAD to score a sub goal or my 3-0 prediction would have been a sweet highest personal weekly.

Tip to all: just put in and save your predictions as soon as you're able to (like tonight, for example). You can always come back and change your predictions. If you don't, at least you have a chance at the following week! P.S. Looking good up there, ajax. @OP I'm on your tail finally!

[hilariousetc]

Funny how I thought I was going to do terrible and ended up coming second only ten points behind StephenCurry333 this round. Now joint third on the table.

But Manchester City's last gasp goal to give me an exact 2-1, tonight's WBA-Stoke goal apiece were the 80 points.

I got those ones right also. Narrowly missed out on another two by Everton and Leicester failing to score.

[Here4Trades]

Had to share... haha after forgetting saturday match predictions on the bbc and thread sunday was a very good day matching on 2-0 of Chelsea against Everton 

[cicciobtc]

The competition is heating up nicely lol. I didn't actually believe that the top places would be so closely contested with point differences as low as 10 points haha. Looks like the fight for the paid spots will be brutal guys
