That's what I think too. And I'm wondering wouldn't it be better in the case of total uncertainty to leave it to the Superbru community to decide for me? The whole community can't be very wrong, or can they?

That could work out maybe for the games without clear favourite but I always go for draw in them 

I am sure that community picks are same as what bookies place as favourite outcome. Usually with much bigger percentages as well. If you tried some pool betting pages you probably know what i mean. Odds on such pages drop very low favourites but there can be real value bets found on outsiders.

Maybe I should I bet on Arsenal defeating Man City and see what happens  

And what am I supposed to say after descending by 16 places to 32nd position?  

You're just one place below me  


EDIT: Superbru killing premium today in my country without any prior explanation has really pissed me off because not only didn't I get a refund (I was halfway in the plan) but also they did it without warning although I was using Apple Pay.

It's not like my bets are clones of the premium predictions (I just use them as data points) but it's the fact that they did it so suddenly in the last couple of hours that has me angry. I think it's pretty stupid to pay for correct score predictions, especially when it's a large sum.

LOL where is Toke? Wasn't him the one who destroyed everyone else's dream to be first?
I did not notice Toma was leading too for a long time.

Damn, good question. I haven't noticed that he isn't in the pool this season until I saw your post.

That's strange thing. Have you tried to contact their support?

Saving his money so he can pay for our side bet when he looses, again  Sorry, Toke had to take a jab at you
He was here before we started and said he is skipping the pools this season.

Arsenal found their attacking boots today, let's see if they can transfer that killer instinct to PL.

Usually, my experience with customer support for these kinds of issues ends with "We are sorry, but Superbru Premium is not available in this region" or words to that effect (that is what the error message actually says when I try to resubscribe). I highly doubt they'll do anything to resolve this problem.

Another person paid so we just need two more people now for 50 and a pot of 0.2. If anyone still wants to play there's still time but the next round starts on saturday. If you're already playing on Superbru if you join the league your points will carry over to our pool. If not you can still join but you will be given six 'default' points which will put you at the bottom of the table but only one point behind the current last but given that we're only two rounds in you can easily make up ground so it won't be much of a disadvantage. Just PM me if you're thinking of playing but can't pay yet and I'll give you a week or two to pay.

If that happens again I will have to assume he's cheating and ban him from all further competitions .

I think he won the pool before tomahawk. He definitely won one of the them but didn't want to play this year even though I tried to persuade him.

Have you messaged them? They should refund you at least the remaining months but I'd ask for a full refund as you haven't got what you paid/signed up for.

Just done my predictions, I am stinking the place out so far this season but also last season. It’s such a tough pool, I won it a few seasons ago & was 3rd the season before that. Just shows how competitive it is & how much you guys know your football that no individual player can dominate in consecutive seasons.

Just entered my predictions and found out another Superbru limit. Max amount of goals you can predict is 12 for one team. Don't ask me how I found out about the number 

Some nice games this week, can't wait for Liverpool - Chelsea but City - Arsenal should be more than good enough to shorten that wait. Especially if Arsenal manages to bring their attacking game from the cup. Did not watch it but it seems they were very on point and maybe Auba finally found his form again.

Let me guess,,, the DFB Pokal game where Bayern won 12-0;) I tested Superbru after you mentioned this and you are right it does not let you predict more than 12 goals, in fact it is just a pulldown menu. I guess Superbru has not yet put in women football leagues yet?

Last month Estonia league 14-1
Last season England league 11-1, Super League there were two 9-0s
Last Women World Cup USA beat Thailand 13-0

So Ronaldo in United and nobody is talking about it here? I expected to find at least one full page of posts when I logged in.

What are you guys thinking? Obviously he is a class player and should help United raise their game even higher. What position will he play? I sort of think maybe he would be best as striker this time around. A little bit less of running and more chances for scoring goals, and weakest United position at the moment. I just hope he will not take all direct free kicks from Fernandez since his record in last couple years is far from the best

Never saw this move coming. It was all City in the news and then bam - United done deal.

A lot of talking in your thread Premier League prediction about Cristiano.Still he can't do much now at almost 37 years old despite his perfect physical form,age is a determining factor in football.For United though he is a great addition but I don't think he will be a determining factor in United fight for title but let's see.

I also put in my predictions but I am pretty sure I will suck up big time this week as I predicted as many in the community have done,I doubt we will see such result.I think I will not be first after this week games but my objective is to be in the top ten in the end of the season so I am hopeful for that.

No one saw this coming, the deal was literally hijacked with relative ease and it didn't even take a minute for all terms to reached and everything to be finalised, It really was easy for Man Utd to make contact due to the past relationship and what the deal would have meant for the fans and Ronaldo himself...

It's a big win for the club already, the club stocks was said to have soared by more 8% since the announcement 🥳

for the case of Ronaldo age is going to be just a number look at Ibrahimovic last season with Milan he scored so many goals despite his age closing on 40yo and he did have a serious injury in the late of his career while Ronaldo little bit younger and have no history of serious injuries like Ibrahimovic and he is a more goalscorer machine with a team that have many creative players like Fernandes Sancho Pogba and others.
The only  position that United needs to upgrade is a defensive midfielder so I guess we will see Ronaldo have somewhere between 25-30 goals involvment atleast in the EPL.

I agree, Ronaldo takes his health and fitness very seriously, and 36 is not that old.  He scored quite a few goals last season in Seire A last season, there's no reason to believe he's done.

I imagine lots of United fans are happy to have him back.

I mean, we did get an early warning about this a few months ago, in the form of him wanting to finish his career at United and then at Sporting.

Kinda surprising how everyone (including him) was talking about wanting to go to City and then at the last minute he switches to United. I do agree though that United fans would've been pissed if that happened though.

Man. United now back in the title race at the expense of City (and that has me worried with my EPL wager on sportsbet.io, City in top 2 , same with PSG without Mbappe how do they win the CL )

edit:

Superbru is now being silly and is giving me my premium membership on one day and withholding it on the next.

Last message from them is on August 26th when a rep said they'll investigate this and get it resolved ASAP.

[buwaytress]

Arsenal! Match started so don't mind saying I went for the boring City win, but hedged that with an Arsenal outlay. Boring slow start so far and then a punt up to Ferran. Hoping for fireworks, not least cause of Blackjack;)

NotATether: you paid for premium? I know what you get, but you use the tips from them?

Yeah you see this also on those p2p betting sites that do parimutuel where everyone bets on the 1x2 markets and winning side splits the pool proportional to your share of the total stakes. Absolutely worst odds on favourites but if you're lucky you find a market no one likes, and the effective odds can be really insane.

[NotATether]

Arsenal gets a red card at 35' and basically falls apart after that. I read some guys on twitter predicting 0-5 for Arsenal, 1-2 etc I'm glad I went for the long shot in city though even now it looks like they're going to stun everybody with a stupidly high 7-0 result.

NotATether: you paid for premium? I know what you get, but you use the tips from them?

Sort of, as a data point in my analysis.

♪ you'll never sing that, you'll never sing thaaaaat, bottom of the league, you'll never sing that ♪

[hahay]

Arsenal, Lol. I think putting a score of 4-0 is already a high score which is difficult to be an exact score. But the fact is, only in the first half City can lead by 3-0 and then not even 10 minutes into the second half City have added another goal. Maybe City will still score again considering there is still a lot of time left now. That way, it feels like my hopes have been dashed to get the exact score points.
