Oh well... no matter what, having missed the first two game days as well as the bonus questions, I think I don`t deserve any better than the last spot! 

[casperBGD]

entered my picks for this week
didn't take to much thinking, after 25 points round, it has to be a bad one, so why put much effort into it

Leipzig vs Bayern is the game of the week, and will be interesting, IMO can go on any side, and Leverkusen is there to try to use eventual Bayern bad result to remain alone on top

today the 6th matchday starts with the game hoffenheim vs. dortmund. since not everyone has submitted their picks yet, here is a reminder to the participants who still have ~10 hours to guess at least the friday game

Hey, seriously cygan, thank you for the ping. I was so sure at the back of my head I'd submitted pick here ahead of all the other leagues even and realise now it must have been some weird ass fever dream -- entered everything in under 10 seconds, I love the format of kicktipp, tab button is your friend haha.

I went this time with 80% favourites (funny enough this time I was in full agreement with bookies)!

Same. I join in the gratitude. These games in the middle of the week knocked the sense of time out of me and this morning I was completely confident that I only needed to make a forecast for the Barcelona game. Then I was surprised (through Superbru) to see other things, then I remembered about the Bundesliga and only then about Fantasy (and damn it was already too late to make transfers).

[cygan]

@buwaytress @KTChampions you know that i do this every week (before the matchday starts) and ask all participants for their picks
we all want to have a very fair competition here and fun at the highest level

Dortmund is ahead against Hoffenheim at half-time
can't say they are better so far, but overtime goal by Reus gave them the lead 1:2

pretty sure Trofo is on BTTS market here, and I was on over goals (2.5), with 3.5 option still not reached, but expect it to be until the end
pick was for a draw, still not out of reach either, and seems realistic on the pitch, looking at playing style

If not Trofo, who else would you expect, he's a BTTS merchant and addict, I don't know what the odds for Dortmund BTTS because that's most likely the only thing that can deter him from going for it!

I have Dortmund to win in the pool exactly by 2 goals to 1, a score I changed from 2-0 just few minutes before the kickoff, so I can only hope it would stay this way until the final whistle.

EDIT: I jinxed it, Dortmund ended the game 3-1, meaning my initial prediction would have paid off 

[CLS63]

Last minute goals are always destroying me.    I bet on Dortmund to win by 2-1 but they scored a goal in the 90+5th minute and it ended by 3-1 instead. It was Julian Ryerson's first goal in the season which ruined my bet at the same time. But I watched the goal and Hoffenheim defense was just too bad at defending him.

Yeah, I think all of the pools on this forum remind everyone. Fair and fun is the desire, am sure no one here likes winning without a fair chance for opponent, but I thank the reminder anyway as I would surely have missed it.

And what a precious 4 points it turned out to be -- even with the sending off I was right to trust my gut =D

3.5 option still not reached, but expect it to be until the end
pick was for a draw, still not out of reach either, and seems realistic on the pitch, looking at playing style

Happy for that final goal, though, right? I also hedge a lot on pools. Bets that go against picks so I win *somewhere*!

very happy
expected it on other side, but as it came in overtime, any side was good

all hedge to win somewhere, and there is no certain pick anywhere
it is a bit off-topic, but this EPL round was probably great for you, underdogs on their way to ruin all favorites, it was just Newcastle and West Ham to serve odds

I wanted to be, but odds were 1.38 on Sportsbet and nowhere else higher than 1.4. Those are way too low odds for both to score market. I never play it under 1.5 and I prefer it on a games where I can get 1.7-1.8.  Already wrote about it somewhere, it is almost same difficulty for me to get it correct no matter the odds so makes sense to pick only those that pay good enough.


Was looking quite bad in this round before Leipzig-Bayern correct score, really proud of that one and I was quite sure it will be a draw but couldn't decide between 1:1 and 2:2.

It was a fantastic week for me. Good to see so many close points in the competition. Although in the beginning, I didn't like kicktipp, it looks good. Having odds is certainly a unique feature.

Oh, that's nice surprise for me after terrible weekend in other leagues. I still didn't got any points today in all other leagues that I'm playing and I'm afraid to open Superbru . First yellow for me this season in all tournaments, hope that not last. Now I'm up by 5 places to 13th, so, still long way to go up.

I know that feeling But I think it also saved me many games. It is just a subjective feeling most of the time. But I think it was last season there were 2 goals in the 96' minute I believe and they saved me. This is what makes it a fun game. Everyone leading on a match day wants the final whistle when all results are perfect after 70 minutes and you know exactly that every point could still be destroyed.

From second to 9th place there is only 2 points difference. In one round you can soar to first place or fall out of the top ten. Brutal 
As for the interface of the site, it is really very convenient; if there were also BTTS and Total markets, then in case of laziness/hurry, you could make predictions even without looking at other details from the bookmakers.

I also like that the odds are shown right where you make your predictions. It hasn't helped me so far,



but I'm sure it will in the future. Further down I won't go anyway.

I asked Bard AI, "What is the most probable outcome of the game FC Bayern Munich vs SC Freiburg?" The answer was:



So, I predicted 4-1. Let's see how this turns out for me. I'm using Bard for the first time for the Bundesliga predictions. I've performed so badly by myself that I decided to try to use AI.

it is still beginning, so differences are small, should increased with time
although, this year pools are full of participants, and that create competivity, with many people with round win distance

wasn't like that last season, there was less people, and difference end-up to be large even after 10 rounds
seeing Leverkusen on top looking good, but Mainz and Koeln fans certainly didn't expected to see their teams bottom down, with 1 point, who will react first to change

This situation started to happen to me very much unfortunately in the recent times. For example I made a prediction in the La Liga pool like the Las Palmas-Celta Vigo match would end 1-1. And it ended 2-1 by the goal came in the 90+7th minute. When matches result in like this it becomes really annoying for you. It is very delightful to win in the last minute as well. However I can't say that I experienced this feeling very much.
