Wow just wow is the only i can said for this round, we are all with "high" scores.

What do you mean we are all with the high scores? Buwaytress has 0 points in this easy round. Well done man  And sorry for taking a jab at you but even with this performance you are above me so it is jealousy talking. You are on for a perfect score, if only I had money on some bookie that supports lay bets I know where I would look for inspiration.

No offence taken. I'm happy that my picks have resulted in everyone else getting points -- maybe this round wipes all my bad luck to get ready for a big one next round.

I will propose the idea to a sportsbook. Take all my picks and offer people to place lays. But since that'll bankrupt the book, I guess I will never see my pitch accepted.

matchday #7 comes to an end with a very nice 4-2 away win for werder at wolfsbrug!
as for our matchday winner, his name today is morvillz7z aka Hoody_Hoo, who secured a free bet on sportsbet.io with 21 points!
we also have two special highlights on this matchday... Saint-Loup is the first participant to reach the 100-point mark and buwaytress aka Sojourner came away completely empty-handed on this matchday...

I really thinked i was put Union Berlin for the win for today match, but when i check i went with a draw, i dont know why.

Well saint loup is building a very good and healthy gap in front, the only good thing for us is the fact that here in Kitcktipp is more easy to clsoe a gap than in superbru in some cases.

#meinVfL have parted way with head coach Peter #Zeidler and sporting director Marc #Lettau following a crisis meeting this evening.

+4 bonus points for those of us with Bochum as the team that will first change/fire its manager.

Yeah, also saw it. Sucks for me since I picked Borussia Mönchengladbach as first team to sack their coach.

Congrats @Saint-Loup, 1r0n1c and all the others scoring 4 points. It's getting tougher at the top and I am losing points. FML.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

hahaha i dont know why i tried to play smart and choose Augsburg over the weakest teams, but well it was a bet and dont paid off.

Lets see if i can grab some other points from the bonus one in the other selections.

[bullrun2024bro]

Uff Dortmund got punished yesterday after leading 2:0 against Real. Brutal 5:2 in just half an hour. Are you adjusting your Bundesliga pick for the weekend bc of this?

Augsburg - Dortmund sounds crystal clear on paper, but after yesterdays lose everything is possible, imho. Thoughts?

By the way, don't forget to place your picks. I just saw that most ppl didn't place their picks yet.

Haha, and just about 24 hours later Bayern also got crushed by FC Barcelona. This Bundesliga matchday will get pretty heated imho. Top teams need to make back for their poor performance in the Champions League.

Don't miss your picks guys, first game is tomorrow on Friday (Mainz vs. Mönchengladbach):

Yes, it was a disaster for the top Bundesliga teams this week on europe, they are gonna seek revenge on his own compatriots? Lets see.

I still dont make my picks, later today im gonna enter it.

Hooray for me, I got 4 points. Don't even know why I chose them, I must have been an early-season genius. Who remembers Bochum's glory days of beating Bayern? 12/1 to win again at home. New manager bounce, seems like an excellent bet to make haha.

P.S. I should change my name to "buwaytress" as I don't get the notify under "Sojourner". I still remembered on my own, however

[cygan]

in less than 8 hours the 8th matchday in the bundesliga starts with the game mainz vs. mönchengladbach

Well, with the first batch of games already played in the Bundesliga, and with some really surprising results we have vd currently in top of this round with 10 points and im just behind him with 9 points, lets see tomorrow how all this round ends.

Indeed, Borussia Dortmund did really lose again against Augsburg, lol. Also Werder Bremen playing 2:2 against Leverkusen. I am pretty sure @cygan (big Werder fan) was quite happy with that result.

Luckily, my favorite team FC Bayern made back for their poor performance in the Champions League and won 5:0 against Bochum, even though I didn't pick such a high result in our betting round.

Congrats @vd309 on this impressive result. 18 points, not bad bro.

Thanks for the update @cygan!

Everything from 2nd - 9th is super close. I mean one good match day and you're likely to climb several spots in the leaderboard.

Any comments on Dortmund recent performances? Do you think they are going to sack their coach Nuri Sahin any time soon? I mean if they keep losing, things look dark for him.

Yes all is super tight and if you take out the bonus points out is more close.

About Dortmund, i dont really know what to think about them, its like from 10 years to this part i se them always in the same pattern, being a team that can score a ton of goals but losing the games you have to not lose, and being irregular in the worst part of the season plus losing all the key matches.

Yep, you're right. I mean, even this season they already lost against Augsburg, Union Berlin and Stuttgart (5:1!) and that's not even counting the 0:0 against Werder Bremen right at the beginning of the season.

I am sure they will make in the top 4 at the end somehow, but it's a pain betting on them, because they might lose even to the weaktest teams.

I also don't understand the Emre Can decision. He's the captain of the team but not playing. I mean if you don't trust him as a coach, then give the role to someone else. How should Can help the team, if he's sitting on the bench most of the time.

This is new to me! Last time I watched BVB he was still playing so well -- even performed pretty good for Germany when I saw him play vs Netherlands. If true he's on the bench, then yeah, bloody give ther armbard to someone else. Can't downplay the mental effect of moves like that, really. I know captaincy doesn't mean much to many teams but surely it bears some weight on a team like this.

Still taking the media storm about Sahin with a pinch of salt though. It's not like this team was any more consistent last season.

He played the last 14' min against Real Madrid and 45' against Augsburg. There is already a quite big discussion in German sports media about the topic.

Sahin said today, that Can will stay captain of the team, but there are no guarantees that he will be playing. It doesn't really look like the coach trusts him.

No clue, but that topic hurts the team a lot imho. Quite interesting to see what happens next match day. Doubt Can will be playing.

[buwaytress]

Yeah, you don't mess with intrinsic elements like captaincy in a team that relies on that sort of energy to keep going. Had no idea of their troubles like this or might have made up my mind differently over some recent picks.

The underwhelming loss to Wolfsburg probably a good thing in this current climate. Thank God for Leverkusen, though Bayern gets a free pass this season methinks.
