Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted November 24, 2022 I did them all at the start, but gave hem a quick update. Oddly enough, I appear to have gone for completely different results on the Sky 6 thing…which is weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's like betting on Norwich to lose so you can have something to enjoy no matter what. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,437 Posted November 28, 2022 Reminder that the 3rd Round of group games starts tomorrow. Round 2 has been difficult so where one picker gains in one game fails back in another so currently @Aggy maintains his lead. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,437 Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Well it's been a tough round except for our leader Aggy who scored 9 out of 16 and has extended his lead to 4 points. Well done Aggy! Less success for the draw callers this time, but with so many upsets going for the favourites is not paying off either. Still to enter 3rd Round Tips for 3pm today - Elbrow, @hepphep, @NFN FC, @twidio and @shefcanary 22 Points - @Aggy 18 Points - @nutty nigel, @Branston Pickle 17 Points - @Peregrine Shorts - Excellent round 16 Points - @Keyneton Canary, @Elbrow 15 Points - @NFN FC, @KiwiScot 14 Points - @twidio 13 Points - @shefcanary 7 Points - @hepphep Edited November 29, 2022 by KiwiScot 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted December 2, 2022 Will soon be time to do the first knock-out round. I didn’t read the point scoring system…me and Eddie have 10 out of the 16 predictions right but seem to still be trailing Aggy on 9 , I’m happy enough with that 🙂.

Yes time to enter tips for the last 16 round and the website is now live so we can enter our picks. No draws allowed. Well Branston with the group games over you and Nutty have gained one more point than Aggy in this round and closed the gap overall on him to 3 points. Aggy is doing some mighty work and it's proving difficult for everyone to hold onto him, but Branston and Nutty are holding strong and still might catch him. Here's the leaderboard after the first 3 rounds! 31 pts - @Aggy 28 pts - @Branston Pickle, @nutty nigel 24 pts - @Peregrine Shorts 21 pts - @Keyneton Canary 20 pts - Me 19 pts - @shefcanary, @twidio 18 pts - @NFN FC 16 pts - Elbrow 7 pts - Hepphep Edited December 2, 2022 by KiwiScot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted December 2, 2022 Cool, will start predicting. The Sky Super 6 thing is up as well, it seems to be matches from Sunday, though I think that’s predictions for the score at 90 mins (if anyone knows better please shout as I’ve predicted a draw for Japan v Croatia!).

Talking in regard to this comp it's win only. If the website gave the option for a draw double check it as it might not have saved that tip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
