goodpunt is our matchday winner this time!
with 14 points he secures a free bet on sportsbet.io - congratulations for that!
the first three places finished the matchday in a tie this time - so there was no movement there

^ I would award Noobhere with a special mention, worthless as it may be, for being the only one to predict the correct outcome (but only gaining 2 points for daring to go against the grain). Further reminder that it actually isn't worth it at all, especially to predict draws instead of a favourite win.

Oh and, we're not all falling for BVB are we? Are we?!

Wow. So the other 19 participants got the yellow cap at least once? I didn't think the results were that varied actually.
An interesting round awaits us ahead, the clubs at the top of the tournament table are playing each other: Stuttgart - Bayern, Leipzig - Mainz, Eintracht - Bayer. It is noteworthy that the main favorites Bayern and Bayer are "balanced" by the away nature of the game.

Really nice variance, didn't realize all the rest managed to snatch a free bet. Let's go guys, raise your game and maybe we manage to finish the season with all of us getting FB at least once. Much easier to check these stats on kicktip than on superbru. Would be fun to see what are the stats in my pool but I think I would have to do it manually and that is proper pain.

Ey man don't expose us in that way  . Now im gonna take it personally.

Spoiler: Still didnt win any round, his performances was even worse than before this post.

Believe i really want, but Bundesliga seems to not like me way of making picks. I have to talk with my special delegate on that region.

Damn, that summarizes my performance this season very well. 19 different yellow cap winners in just 23 rounds, I think we never had anything similar in none of Bitcointalk pools. There is still plenty of time for me get my yellow cap too, but now got some extra pressure. But it will be very difficult to repeat something similar what I did in previous 2 seasos, ending it in 5th place.

Thank you always for the reminder cygan. Nothing too fancy today. Heart says go for a Bayern upset but not sure the home team is really capable of that. Kane and co will also want to get used to scoring before they do battle in Champs League, so yeah, I think a comfortable scoreline is the play. Something less important but I do want, stubbornly, Freiburg to grap a qualification spot so an away win will be on their agenda and I'm backing that.

exactly. in the following overview you can see exactly who has already collected how many matchday wins and thus free bets on sportsbet.io
so with 4 yellow caps Saint-Loup has the most wins so far. - followed by el che with 3 matchday wins so far

[buwaytress]

Oh wow. I don't think we've seen any pool have such a distribution, only dar and LTU have yet to get one. Means that almost everyone's got their money's worth in fees back as a freebet really (not bothering to actually check now haha).

But back to the round, I was just minutes away from claiming the early lead thanks to a precise scoreline from BVB, and a very cool Mainz comeback win that suited my mild upset pick just right. Ulven and redpool went for similar thinking as me, not sure why not more people felt comfortable picking Heidenheim.

Then Bremen get a late goal to give elche max points, so we're both on 14 now -- on the hunt to equal Saint-loup's 4 round wins! Three games left, and we see how it goes in a few minutes.

Very happy about my performance in this one again as I think I am slowly but surely breaking the record in getting the worst rounds of us all. But guys a record is a record, isn't it?

Unbelievable how bad I am. Please don't let the world know where I am from and that I think I know something about football... This is really terrible again this season.

[buwaytress]

0 points from the final two games and somehow I still retained the lead. Was so hopeful of a Freiburg win as few people picked that but I should be thankful of the draw as it prevented anyone else from overtaking me. Watch out, top 10 ha ha

They make fun of me in some of the other comps, but you're right. The "wooden spoon" is an effort that should be recognised. As you said in BSFL (I'm sorry for twisting your words), dogs need to pee and if no one is the tree, how do dogs do?

[cygan]

the 24th matchday is now over and we can congratulate buwaytress aka sojourner on winning the matchday!
with 16 points he now secures a free bet from sportsbet.io - have fun betting tomorrow
there was an away win in 8 out of 9 games this matchday - you don't get that every week either...

I made that suggestion to cryptofrka when I was on a 0-5 run in BSFL, I think it was 0-5. He said it is a great idea and suggested to double the fee for the next round. @cryptofrka, I still feel like you made fun of me, see what buwaytress has to say, the "wooden spoon" can no longer be disrespected the way the mafia believes it should be... There must be a reward of some kind! See my performance in the Bundesliga prediction pool as a German guy who thinks he knows something about the sport. _lol...

Let them make fun of us, we know all the psychological tricks like reading the table from bottom to top! I still feel strong! See in Switzerland the best grade you can get in university is a 6, while in Germany it is a 1 and a 6 is the worst you can get. Let's feel the Swiss vibes brother! I know them too well by the way.

~a free bet from sportsbet.io - have fun betting tomorrow

I will, thank you SB and all =) Just in time for Champions League upset mania and... maybe away wins like in Bundesliga?

We will be like Mainz. Vilified year after year and peed on, and now jostling for a place in Europe. We have a similar system, an aggregate where 6 means you barely passed (anything more than that is just different levels of shitty). A 1 is the best. I was a solid 4-average at best across the board.

Where I live now though they are discussing removing these levels for unis. Pass or fail, that's it. So children will never feel the shame of only being average like our generation did. I guess we like our kids being snowflakes.

[buwaytress]

Ha! I came to post before the reminder, having seen myself tonight's opener.  I'm going to take some unusual risks today, to try and get a hold of top 10 by the following "strategies":

• go with tight wins for the hot streak underdogs looking for Europe
• remembering that Kiel are tougher than they look
• relenting on some eternal favourites but not all

Clear as mud!

Hah! I thought Bayern would drop points, didn't expect an outright loss, and expected even less that all their rivals would drop the ball. I know it's still a way to go but cygan deserves this round's yellow cap for his daring picks. About all of us got all of 2 points from all the games so far. Pretty amazing, in a way? Hard to argue for which was a worse loss. Bayern to snatch defeat from victory? Bayer not able to score? BVB seeing a goal overturned but also 2 other goals against them chalked off?

When was the last time all three played at the same time and lost at home? NINETEEN yellows and 1 red in these three games too!
