^  Why not, it would be good practice for next season.    You ok with betting small?  Maybe 20 bucks?

Anyway, the rest can join too if they want and make the pool winner take all...?  What do you think?

I'll make an account later when I get back home.

Just checked the leaderboard, I’m in 8th with 13.0 points. Congrats to hilarious, great effort with 18.5 points, setting a great pace in round 1.

I thought I’d be higher than 8th, got 2 or 3 exact scores & missed a couple by 1 goal. Just shows how tough it’ll be this season to win a prize.

It’s a marathon not a sprint though bitches, I’m not going anywhere

I thought I would do quite well,,, like hilarious pointed out usually we can see some surprising results in the very first game, for example, new teams and new coaches, or just players rusty from holiday, like Mourinho likes to say some players holiday too much! I did quite okay for my own standards, and I put in some careful scores but ended up that the big teams won as expected not even 1 surprise draw.

Marathon for sure, not a sprint. I want to make up for last pool in World Cup to sit for 2 days in the winning spots and lose on last two days, was very painful

Well, I didn't have chance to do any predictions the last round. But, I'm still quietly confident Nah, I'm just in it for the fun as I'll probably miss a few rounds in the future too.

Why don't you just put as many as you can in now? That way you won't miss any games and can always change them when you get chance. You could even put the entire season's in if you really wanted. Missing a few round doesn't really matter either. I get next to zero points in a few rounds last season and still came second overall.

[o_e_l_e_o]

Even if you just put in a 1-1 for draw for every game the entire season if you really can't be bothered - last season there were a good few weeks where 1-1 for everything would have got you a three exact results and a bunch more "close" results.

Yeah, I'm going to be looking to sit down, and do as many as possible as I won't have too much time on my hands for about 3 weeks in October. I managed to watch some of the weekend games though, and wanted to judge their performances on my future predictions. I'm not really that bothered by missing a few rounds.

Just saw an email from SuperBru, looks like someone already won GBP 500 from 7 correct guesses in Week 1. Apparently, 2 other guys got 7 exact picks, but they lost out narrowly (global leader wins). Trofo must have been right somehow though, fairly predictable round so it only needed the right goals to get those exact scores right.

Funny thing is he predicted 3-2 for Liverpool. 1 more exact score and he'd be swimming in sterling.

Also, Welsh and others, you have 15 free picks if you ever forget. They're used up automatically, and are set to the most popular prediction for the games. So basically, you haven't lost anything just yet.

I've put my picks in up to Week 3, but will probably make sure I have at least 2 weeks in advance picked out. You can always change them later. Takes all of 30 mins to enter everything right up to season end, so why not?

[tokeweed]

I just joined hilarious' fantasy league.  Took me like over 30 minutes to set everything up.  Lol.  It's time consuming, but reeeaallyyy fun if you love football.

Anyway if you have the spare time, join us:  https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/home

Got my predictions in all the way up until week 3. Well, it’s technically only another 2 rounds of fixtures but I wanted to do it whilst I was bored. Might go up until week 5 tomorrow if I can be bothered.

I'll do it week by week. There is just more charm in doing it that way for me. And it's not likely that I will forget since I am always tinkering with my Fantasy squad as well.

Yeah, well obviously you have to account for form etc so I’d never do months worth of games in advance. I’ve tried kinda hard for this weeks fixtures so let’s see how it goes.

Good luck buddy

[o_e_l_e_o]

I like to put in a bunch of predictions at least a week in advance without really thinking about it. Then look at them all again in more detail the day or two before and see if my reasoning matches my gut feelings from the week before.

Yes, same here. I mean, it can be a bit silly to put in random numbers because like today I am late to change anything for Newcastle match which has just started (I predicted them to win) but that's why for now I just put all the predictions for a normal win, 2-0 or such, based on my feelings for them. Like LFC says though, form is always something to look for so I always put in advance predict wins for the big guys, and draws for the teams I'm not so sure.

But that's still better than getting your picks made to the most popular, because the most popular isn't always right, as FIFA world cup showed.

[BitcoinSupremo]

I am always putting my predictions on a week by week basis. I never lock my pick so the other members can see my picks only when the game starts, I also cannot see other users pick. I don't want to see this as I don't want to be impacted. On Newcastle game I predicted 1-1 and I see a lot of persons have the same predictions.

This doesn't seem to be the case. Others can still see them if they've locked theirs and you have at least put yours in. I also predicted 1-1 for this game and it's currently in play at 0-0 with ten minutes to go.

For those interested I've started a new pool to get one organised for the Champions League. There's a month to go before it kicks off so please sign up at the following thread if interested: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4919683

[BitcoinSupremo]

That is why I don't like of the Superbru, privacy is 0 here compared to the old good BBC predictor and I still miss it compare to this Superbru thing. If the Champions League will offer more privacy I am keen to enter but with a Superbru website honestly not feeling like I want to enter.

Not fun at all. The 1.5 close result is the most f up thing I have ever seen. I want 1 point for correct result and 3 for correct score only, this shows who is the best in the end.

[tokeweed]

^  Not locking your predictions til the last minute is the best way to deal with it.  But I don't mind personally.  Lol.  You all can copy my predictions of you wanna lose.  

But yeah...  It'd be cool to play in a predictor site like what BBC had.

[o_e_l_e_o]

You can't copy any body else because you can't see their predictions until yours are locked in and therefore unchangeable.

[Hhampuz]

Exactly this.

I've never used BBC(lol), but I have to say that I love Superbru so far, it's great & simple (imo) and I'll use it with my friends for CL. The points system is great as well, I like the 1.5p close result.

[buwaytress]

I don't lock my picks so I don't see anything until game is over and scores are given, so I really don't see any disadvantage with Superbru.

1.5 close result is pretty good to me too, I mean you got to say it's "fairer" to give half a point more to the guy who predicted 4-0 when the game ends 5-0, instead of getting the same scores as the guys who predicted 1-0. I don't know. I don't think there's a perfect system, and it would appear SB changes their scoring system based on player feedback.

Newcastle converting their penalty would have given me something out of this. Predicted a narrow 2-1 away win. But for that or the red card...
