I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in this season, but I hope that I will found out soon. I can't seem to collect more than a few points in each round. I'll try a different approach in the next round and hopefully it will bring me a lot more than just 4 points.

My RTG boy arall at it again, big whoop! But bloody hell Slam, going up the ranks so fast, and of course the only pick you didn't go 2-1, you got it exact. Can't you leave me in peace?!

You know, we Germans are smart, we have the "ü", which is "u+e". Think about it, you could make something great out of it with the logic I provided. Ok let me solve this for you. You have got a castle and a mountain, isn't that strong? I admit I don't know if that is supported by facts (Nürnberg, Würzburg, ...)

This is the very reason I drink German milk and eat German wieners (literally, not... ) I hoped in my younger days to gain some of that DNA in my blood. Unfortunately my ethnic background is not known for smartness (or rather, knowing what is smart, and choosing the complete opposite direction). You can look up "Rentap" if you want to wonder at some dumbassery guised as courage.

matchday #8 is now over, and we can congratulate two players on winning this matchday!
arallmuus and ralle14 each scored 16 points - the highest total of the matchday - and have also made a big jump up the standings - congrats!

I was already at a frustated state on this pool because I cant seems to get average points most of the time but this is a nice surprise. Gonna use the free bets to get back my registration fee atleast.

I dont think I need to send anything right since iirc I put in my vega username at the registration post (?)

Thanks and congrats to arall on the free bet. Your luck has been on a roll these past few weeks.

Ikr which makes me abit overwhelmed. The last time I had these kind of good luck, I missed BSFL so I hope I wont miss it tomorrow. I didnt realize that our username overlap, arall and rall ( The Rall bros ) 

My RTG boy arall at it again, big whoop!

Gotta whip up some cash out of this free bet

What? Why are you so good at scamming then? When I observe you scamming, I am impressed by how sophisticated this is being pulled off, you must be smart as fuck!

Damn brother, you are holding strong up there in the table while I am making sure the basement is warm and cozy should you run out of fuel You are always welcome as you know ❤️

correct, you'll find all the necessary information including your Vega.bet usernames in the op!
and i'm glad you've finally won a yellow cap. it's just that at some point (unexpectedly), the moment comes when you can celebrate and finally say you've arrived at the pool

in less then 10 hours the match between hamburg and mönchengladbach will kick off, marking the 9th matchday in the bundesliga and thus another chance to claim a 50 USDT free bet on Vega.bet!
we still have quite a few participants in our prediction pool who haven’t submitted their picks yet, and they are:

Thanks for the tag. It just dawned on me that it's Friday. Already up for six hours and out and about, but somehow thought it was Thursday. Freiburg. Schalke. Will they let me down or will they help me find my way back in? Because I'm not feeling the love these days...

Thanks again
In the last round, I only scored 6 points
I decided to ask Gemini's AI for help to see if I can improve a little
My predictions have been really bad 

Tomorrow I'll be able to watch Borussia Dortmund vs Elversberg
My guess is 3x1

I did that few times when I was in a hurry, but it didn't turn out to be good. AI can make predictions based on some past statistics and some published news. But I still think that human factor plays an important part in making good predictions. Sometimes you just have a gut feeling that goes against all odds and later it turns out to be correct.

Same here, I thought I would give myself an edge by usin the extra AI analysis, but the results have been dire. I dropped from the top half of the table to 18th place.
I think the so-called "gut feeling" is often underestimated. Maybe it's some sort of analysis that runs on a subconscious level...

If I the gap between me and the top 3 increases after this week's round, I'll probably go with a more relaxed approach and will be aiming to win weekly prizes.

[slaman29]

Lol about AI, no, you need specific sports model built only for the league and I was explaining in another thread that La Liga does use this on some of their broadcasts, but the AI does it poorly even with the most updated data.

And thats for the paid specific model.

The models we all have for free are 10x worse

BTW FU @buwa for that Exact Pick lol

[pawel7777]

Yeah, but those who aren't super-familiar with Bundesliga, or at least not yet, have a real dilemma, to use AI models that are somewhat useless, or to rely on their own, limited knowledge. Or you could just always go with picking bookies' favourites (hoping they have done their homework) and bet on the statistically most probable score, being 2-1 (with some exceptions when there's a big mismatch between teams).
Stuttgart Vs Werder has just started. In the last minute, I changed my pick from 2-1 to 2-2, based mostly on gut feeling, but also on the fact that Stuttgart has an average of 1.0 ponits per home game and Werder 1.25 points per away game. Stuttgart has zero draws in the league games but it has to happen eventually, so why not today.

There's no dilemma, AI models are probably much worse than bookmaker odds (which is already based on really accurate datasets). There's no edge to be found anywhere outside actually watching the league.

At least, judging from my own picks (completely based on markets and some very occasional and anecdotal knowledge). But I should ask AI to do my picks next week (after submitting). I'll use Google's latest, chatgpt (all free) and share the results. If I remember!

P.S. Who's cryptoblivion? Quietly sneaking up on Slam the Bastard.

as some of us have already noticed, Cryptoblivion has once again claimed a matchday victory!
With an impressive 27 points, he’s secured his next 50 USDT free bet on Vega.bet - congratulations!
meanwhile, i’m continuing to slip down the rankings and really need to be careful not to lose contact with the top places...

What a round... 19 points for me and not even close to @Cryptoblivion, lol.

I can't remember exactly, but did we ever have a round where someone got all nine games correct? I don't mean the exact result, but all nine tendencies? This time pretty much all the games went as expected, but hitting the results made the difference here. 27 points...

[Cryptoblivion]

  Whoohoo what a game day! Thanks Cygan for the congrats. 27 points is as lucky as it gets I guess. At least I don’t have to share with saint loup again

Congrats man! 27 points are really an impressive achievement. I was happy to see that I won 17 points (most since the start of this season), but my happiness didn't last long because majority of us scored pretty big. I'm slowly starting to lose moral to keep trying to climb up. OK, this round was pretty good, but the results were pretty much according to the expectations. That's why we all got a lot of points.

A very high-scoring round - exactly half of the participants scored 20+ points that doesn’t happen very often, I believe. Cryptoblivion also came close to matching or breaking the record (which, if I’m not mistaken, stands at 29 points). Gratz! I scored an acceptable 23 points and remain in the leading group, that's good enough. I should note that the field is separating more slowly this season: there’s a leading group of 7 people, while the rest are trailing by a somewhat wider margin. Bayern is gradually seeing its average scoring rate decline.

It is huge man, and only 1 miss, so many exact scores too and that is impressive, but at least I'm still ahead of @buwa the Bitch Many congrats on a big round and well-deserved victory.

BTW I changed from 2-1 picks all the time and its a big mistake, after 3 rounds where 2-1 helped me a lot, I was feeling there must be a week where it won't and chose wrongly.

But how about next week, right?

[ralle14]

Congrats to Cryptoblivion for this week's top scorer, finishing with 27 points in a single week is nuts. This must be the highest weekly score we've had out of the nine rounds.

I only got 23 with my predictions, but at least i'm slowly recovering after being stuck at 17th-19th in the previous weeks.
