Exact Score Challenge: Round Three Prize Winner!
The 100% record of an Exact Score Challenge winner per week at Superbru has continued with Jacob Senwamadi from South Africa the latest person to scoop a prize thanks to some incredible Premier League predictor picks!
Jacob joins Darren Thornton (£500) and Yashen Reddy (a Yellow Cap) as the challenge winners so far this season having managed 6 out of 10 exact picks in round three. The prize for nailing six out of ten? A Premier League jersey for the team you support which in Jacob's case is Manchester City.
Here's a look at his prize-winning picks:
The weekend started badly for Jacob given that he's a City fan and got his opening pick wrong, but things improved dramatically following that 1-1 draw at Molineux! Here's what the man himself had to say about how his Superbru round played out:
"Like many Premier League fans, I was all set and ready for the third round of matches with my favourite team kicking things off, I was quite frustrated for most of the game and after the draw I was quite worried after not having a good week in GW2 and dropped to 3rd place in a pool I play in with my facebook friends who are the ones who actually introduced me to Superbru in 2015. The game was followed up by the goal rush where I was watching the Arsenal-West Ham game as it was one that I felt pretty positive about among the 16:00 kick-off games."
Jacob confirmed he is one of many Superbru players who avoid changing their picks once they've made them (clearly that strategy must work) and interestingly plays in a pool with a friend who was an Exact Score Challenge winner last season!
"I was no longer bothered about getting perfect picks, but things started to get interesting as the games went on. I lost all hope when Everton went 2-0 up with less than 25 minutes to go only to tune in for the final minutes and to my surprise, it was 2-2. I kept a record of everything after a positive Saturday even after Liverpool failed to score two more goals. It was on Sunday after the Chelsea game when one of my mates from the group (he is actually a previous winner with 7/10 picks, Kersan Kistan) actually made me aware that I was on 6/9 and I already stood a chance of winning a kit or better a cash prize if Tottenham beat Man United 2-1 as I had predicted. Everyone was quite supportive and rooting for me. It was quite difficult to focus on my assignment whilst thinking of changing my pick but I decided to stay away from the site to avoid making changes only to regret it."
Finally, we thought we'd ask about Jacob's predictor tactics in case we could learn a thing or two for our own picks. His answer? No strategy other than to perhaps listen to your partner..
"I do not really have a strategy, I just trusted my intuition and made my picks with my girlfriend, whom if I had listened to, I would have gotten 8/10 exact picks!"
