^ Have to really credit Milan for being the last among the Big Four European leagues to finally taste defeat, but they probably missed their best chance so far to deliver a psychological blow to the Old Lady. Saved myself some pain by not betting big on them, but it is still going to be looked back as a missed opportunity for them.

Good luck for your record, buddy;)

Both to score. The only market worth playing in Italy last two seasons. I never play anything else and the best thing is - the odds are still much better then in some other leagues. I had 4 BTS games from Italy yesterday which passed easy including Milan game. If I am not mistaken only Atalanta kept a clean sheet this week.

Too bad I needed one more game for insurance on Sportsbet and I was on the limb between PSG and Lille to win their games and I chose Lille for higher odds. In the end neither managed so it was a bust for sure but another free bet is here.

I know some of you have been playing these Superbru pools for two or more years now, my question is, has anyone ever got all 10 outcomes correct in a single round, 10 outcomes = 3 slam points. Has this been done before, i mean forum wise?

I took Bologna to win for our pool, but i'm pretty sure they will draw for sixth time in a row, aren't they? Lol  I just hope there will be goals scored, i have small parlay BTTS + Milan/Torino O8.5 corners for 2.30 total odds. Wish me luck!  

edit; off to a good start lol, genoa to nil!

I think I haven't saw such thing. My best achievement in previous EPL season was probably 8 correct outcomes if I'm not mistaken and 20 or 20.5 points. Predicting all 10 outcomes is such difficult task.
BTW, @tyKiwanuka is doing impressive stuff so far, 4 exact scores. Though, it will be difficult to get many points from Juve game, he had their win 3:1, while we have boring 0:0 at halftime.

I was ecstatic when I saw the score page and saw I've 3 exact scores and other close ones, only to check the leaderboard and discover someone is having a better run, It's still a somewhat high scoring round all round as every one in the pool has got double figure...

I've got Juventus to win 2 - 0, meanwhile they just took the lead as the 2nd half began, but with Sassuolo down to 10 men this might be bad

My post above didn't aged well . Juventus managed to win 3:1 and @tyKiwanuka got exact score. 5 exact scores, 21 points and we still have on game on Monday. Very impressive performance.

Yeah right! Crazy round from him, I've dropped a position on the leaderboard.

Take out the draws, like this round for example, as we have just one so far, i think 10 correct outcomes can be achieved.

I missed on only one game (before the final game tomorrow), the Genoa win, but man...the pitch on Stadio Luigi Ferraris is in critical condition, it looks more like a random piece of land in the middle of nowhere rather than a football pitch. The bad weather, way too many games played in a very short period of time has almost completely destroyed it. My point, both Sampdoria (don't forget their surprise win over Inter just a couple of days ago) and Genoa will have an advantage playing there, as they are used to play in that mud bath.

Two big derbies next week, Lazio vs. Roma and Inter vs. Juventus!

interesting point, did not had a chance to watch Sampdoria or Genoa lately, and if the pitch is that bad, it is an advantage for home, and should be taken into account
yeah, this round results were widely expected, and one could predict them almost all, but previous rounds brought many upsets, and that is why I set some upsets in every round, and that did not get well into this round, I did not expected that Lazio will win in Parma, nevertheless they did, and they made Parma's fifth lose in a row, eight matches without a win - they are on the road to hell (Serie B for them)

This was very easy round to predict in Serie A, all the games finished as expected so we all have a good round. That being said big congrats to tyK since it is a big difference of getting outcome correct and getting correct score correct. Have a feeling this round will be enough for you take best yellow cap prize (0.0035 BTC) at the end of our contest. That prize was about 40$ when we started and over 120$ at the moment. Hopefully much more till this pool ends


I have just seen that I never updated the OP with actual prizes so I have done so today Just copy paste from my post on the page 5 or somewhere around there.

[buwaytress]

About the 10 outcomes, I have only played Superbru for 3 seasons now and I remember the very first week of 2018/19 season someone got 9/10 and he won a small prize (at the time it would be 10,000 GBP for 10/10) and that was Premier League.

I actually don't know if anyone's ever hit it. But I've definitely seen 7 or 8 out of 10 a number of times in other leagues (but no prizes there).

Juventus march on in Coppa;)

[morvillz7z]

Low scoring round across our prediction pool, Parma just ended their five-game losing streak Sassuolo equalized while i was typing haha, and Crotone completely decimated Benevento, needless to say, nobody got points off those two.

They were able to resurrect the pitch for Sampodoria's home game, the turf was replaced (from penalty area on one side to the other), if i knew that i would probably not take Samp to win 2:1, lucky break here. Those screenshots are taken approximately one week apart, see the difference?

A lot of low scoring rounds for me personally have come. Last 2 rounds were amongst the lowest scoring rounds overall I think. Causing me to adjust the way I bet and going for less risky predictions.So most likely following round will be crazy  


Edit: This was officially my 1000th post

Does anyone knows why odds for Milan win against Atalanta is such high? 2.65 doesn't makes much sense IMO. They will play at home, they have almost all player ready to play, while Atalanta isn't very consistent team this season. Chance to make some money?

I watched a bit of last Sampdoria game and I was wondering where that awful quality pitch is gone. Well, respect to people who are responsible for this stadium pitch.

Congrats!

No idea, there are no bad news for Milan as far as I'm aware and you are right on the money with that assessment. I will bet on Milan for sure in this match and odds are looking real juicy. Hard to pass this opportunity.

They signed Mandzukic

Just kidding, I am looking forward to seeing how well he will perform for Milan. Sort of feel like this transfer would never happen if they did not do it with Ibra first and he proved that age is just a number.

Those odds look high to me as well and I will also play on Milan, maybe 1x for extra security on high stake ticket.

I'm happy with that signing, I think Mandzukic still has some good matches in his legs and him paired with Ibra if that happens can be really mean and evil Unfortunately Milan lost, I didn't have a chance to watch the match, but 0-3 is not something I was expecting.

After the starting lineups were announced, odds for Milan to win went as high as 3.20 even 3.40, i guess some serious money has been put on Atalanta. This was probably the worst Milan lineup i've seen all year round with three defensive midfielders Kessie, Tonali and that new guy from Torino. Kalulu playing as a center back is just plain suicide, he was responsible for Atalanta's first goal, and maybe even for the 2nd (penalty)...

Unfortunately Milan lost, I didn't have a chance to watch the match, but 0-3 is not something I was expecting.

I watched the first half only, as expected bunch of forced balls to Ibra, nothing from Leao and Castillejo. Ilicic was unstoppable, even double-teaming him wasn't enough, dude was doing whatever he wanted. Big props to Inter for losing points in Udine....all good.

[Trofo]

Really thought Milan would do better yesterday but the problem with Atalanta is that it all usually depends on them. If they have a good day they can win against anybody with goals to spare. If they have a bad day they can also lose against most clubs.

Atalanta is going on my blacklist, they screwed me too many times already. When I expect them to win they lose and vice versa, when I play both to score they again manage to keep clean net. No more.

That'd be Napoli, for me... Atalanta have screwed over just a few times, not as much as Napoli (or will), Speaking of Napoli I have them to win against Verona both in my betslip and in the pool, but it seems like it's going to be just one of those days, again!

EDIT:  Just as I submitted my post, Hellas Verona took the lead
