in less than 10 hours the match heidenheim vs. dortmund will start and thus also the 20th matchday in the bundesliga
to make sure that everyone submits their picks in time, i'm now sending the weekly reminder to the following users who haven't submitted anything yet:

don't hesitate and don't let casperBGD get away from us

There goes the saying, One day you're the cock of the walk, then next a feather duster.

Can you imagine, I was here a couple of days earlier talking about who's missed quite a number of round, and I could have sworn that I had made my picks earlier into the week, but because we had a midweek round, I totally forgot there could be a Friday fixture or I had done them all along.

The is point crying over spilled milk now, I probably would had Dortmund on 2-1 or 2-0 victory, so should anything otherwise happen in this game, then there is no point lost for me, I'd guess.

Thanks for the heads up

Same. About 30 minutes later I saw (in the list of live games) that Dortmund was already playing and remembered that today was Friday, so some games could already take place. Thank God Dortmund lost points, so we can assume that not many people bet on this, and certainly not those at the top of the table (after all, favorites win more often than outsiders). Therefore, this forecast pass was “free” for me.

This is a situation that can happen to everyone. I'm also having difficulties sometimes because there are so many matches. You are still very lucky. If you forgot about making predictions in BSFL like me the consequences would have been much heavier. On top of that you didn't lose anything because the Dortmund match ended 0-0.

Yeah, that makes two of us, as I've said earlier Dortmund dropping points would mean the most for me as not would be able to capitalize on that, and they did, however, someone from the pool did get the draw prediction right, they went with 1-1 and got 3 points off that and just as the person name suggest "goodpunt", lol.

Yes, complete disaster averted for me on that... I strongly doubt I would forget about making my picks in BSFL though, but to err is human, right!

Dortmund lost points on Friday encounter, missing on an opportunity to regroup for third spot

@Harkorede @KTChampions
you had your share of luck today, missing on a deadline and passing free on that
nevertheless, that is where Superbru is different, they gave you default points for 10 games that you miss, if result is widely expected
in this case, you would get zero, but in case Dortmund wins, you would still get a point

Yes, I know about this option on Superbru (quite fair, I must say taking into account the fact that the one who missed the forecast gets a maximum of one point, and the one who did everything on time can get three), as I understand there is nothing like it on kicktipp? If so, then this also has its own logic - discipline is rewarded.
They write that Tuchel has the flu and will miss the game with Monchengladbach, but this is unlikely to prevent Bayern from winning. Bayer has an even easier game with a team that is in last place, so it is unlikely that we will see changes at the top of the standings.

I must admit that I have a weird addiction with draw-bets and couldn't resist here.
Even placed several bets on a draw when my country faced Australia in the Asian cup.
And for today's Bundesliga matches I am tempted to go for a double draw 

[Betwrong]

Right, right, and that's what I'm afraid of at the moment. I don't want to tumble down from the heights I've climbed through such hard efforts. What I want is climbing further up, and, I can't believe it myself, but I did manage to make that one step up recently

Yeah and I'm falling down once more with that Union crap haha. We all deserve where we are, and I'm at least able to say I'm losing to some of the really veteran players in this forum. Just wish I could wring a bit more out of Freiburg, I think the problem with them and Union is I have an unshakeable bias with their players. And when I go against them, as I did with Union, they actually win. Goddamn =)

And now I'm one position down



I've noticed that it's especially hard to hold your position when you are a the top. I hope today's games will improve my position



I've just changed the score from 2-0 to 3-1 in the last game, but whether it was the right move we'll only see later today.

2-2 is often the toughest scoring draw to go for, but if there is about 4 minutes plus stoppage time left and it looks like you've hit the nail right on the head on that one, except there is a latest plot twist there.

[buwaytress]

Half-time frustration from elsewhere, so where else do I go but the pool I've got no complaints about? Haha

Darmstadt should be a win for Leverkusen any time but M'Gladbach has history making headlines against Bayern, mostly at home, but maybe they can do something in Munich too

have a good round

Turned out to be another bad round for me. Just can't seem to pick the right side in close games between the bottom half. Support Werder, they lose, support Mainz, they can't win. Gladbach magic vs Bayern seems to have vanished. Sad.

P.S. I just found out I missed a moment in MD19 when Union ushered in the first woman manager (she only stood in because Bjelica was suspended) in Bundesliga. 100% record haha.

Suppose it shores up my bad performance thus far. Need more exacts like this to pull me back up into Top 10 though...

after the 20th matchday, we can congratulate 1r0n1c for the first time today on his matchday win and thus on his first free bet on sportsbet.io
with a strong 23 points he catapults himself 6 places up the table
there was no movement in the first 4 places but the field is getting closer and closer together

[cygan]

due to the upcoming top match between leverkusen and bayern, i was able to arrange another promotion with Steve from sportsbet.io
all participants of this bl-pool will get a 0.25mBTC free bet credited to their accounts on thursday
this will only be valid for 3 days - i will send a separate message to all participants via the kicktipp portal

[cygan]

due to the match being postponed (mainz vs. union) and the current points score in our pool, the winner of the matchday will only be determined after the match has been played
a total of 4 users (-Lemming-, LTU_btc, Spray. & darxiaomi) are currently leading the matchday with 12 points each and are therefore among the potential matchday winners, as are the other participants with 8 or more points
unfortunately, it is not yet clear when the match will be replayed

i'm quoting myself here, because the canceled game is taking place today and you all still have the chance to adjust your picks
will one of the 4 players mentioned be the winner of the matchday?
a very interesting game where any result is possible...

[cygan]

darxiaomi is the lucky winner of the 18th matchday. because the game mainz vs. union ended with a 1-1 and therefore you have reached the highest score of 16 points and can therefore look forward to a free bet on sportsbet.io - congratulations!

[LTU_btc]

Thanks for reminder, it was needeed. Bundesliga is strict with calendar and usually you don't expect such midweek games. Wasted chance to get yellow cap, congrats to darxiaomi.
Game was postponed for some time as Union started throwing tennis balls to pitch. As I understand it was their protest, but does anyone know against what?
BTW, I see that Cup game between Saarbrucken and Gladbach got postponed because of waterlogged pitch. Good decision because it looked that pitch fits more for waterpolo than football. Just pity for away fans who made long trip on midweek.

Thanks man, i forgot about that but nice to see this now.

I think jeremypwr is gonna have nightmares with my name this week, 3 yellows cap in a row (la liga serie A and this old bundesliga one), lets see where i waste this freebies now hahaha.

the reason for this is that the potential involvement of an investor in the german football league (DFL) is viewed critically by most organized fan scenes. they object to the further commercialization of football in germany and the potential influence of the investor.
it started with chocolate coins being thrown in front of the goal - now tennis balls are being used because they keep on flying...

Had no idea Union supporters were that loud and organized. Don't know the details about DFL but I guess they have good reason for doing so. Really respecting what Germans managed to do with their league. Full stadiums and healthy financial status should have much higher priority in football than it does.

4 points from this postponed game came handy for me to keep in touch with top positions.

Thanks for explanation. Union is unique club with unique fans. It's one of few old fashioned clubs in big leagues who still keep their strong identity and it's more important than doing business for them.

Man, I sometimes randomly tune in Bundesliga 2 games and it's amazing. Probably they are in Top 5 by attendance in Europe and we're talking about 2nd division.
Though, not everything is so great. Schalke have big debts and if they will relegate to 3rd division, it probably will be the end of their glorious story as club wouldn't get license to play. It would be a shame.
