Jack | Operations & Media Manager

Wed 17 Jul 2019

Great news! The extra little motivation you had when making your Premier League score predictions over the past couple of seasons will remain in 2019/20 as our Exact Score Challenge continues. Simply by playing along and making your picks throughout the season as you would in all of our other free-to-play games, you could win prizes if you manage enough exact scores in a single round.

Whether you're miles ahead of your pool mates and looking for extra rewards or struggling to keep up with friends and looking for something else to play for, our Exact Score Challenge prizes will be up for grabs in every round of the upcoming campaign.

Here's the number of exact score predictions you need in order to qualify for each of our prizes. The full terms and conditions can be found by clicking here.

As the rules state, there can only be one winner per round but we had plenty of winners last season! We gave away prizes in all but 6 rounds of the 2018/19 Premier League with Yellow Caps, team jerseys and cash being sent all over the world.

Here's the full list of winners.. We're hopeful of having even more in the upcoming campaign!

Remember, in order to stand a chance of winning these prizes you don't have to do anything different when signing up for our predictor game nor join a special pool. Any Superbru player who has made their picks for a given round of Premier League action will be in with a chance of winning.

So make sure you join our free predictor game now and invite your friends to get involved!

Why not send a Wooden Spoon to whoever gets 10 wrong by being only one goal out every time?

No doubt in my mind that the scoring system is flawed. Exact scores are a matter of luck. Correctly predicting that title contenders City will lose to basement dwellers Huddersfield earns one point. Correctly predicting that City will beat Huddersfield earns one point. Guessing that City will concede a last minute penalty to win 4:1, instead of 4:0, earns an extra point and a half. Will they concede that penalty? Will it be awarded? Will it be converted? Pure guesswork. The skill, knowledge and risk of picking Huddersfield to beat City is hardly rewarded; yet there's no skill or risk involved in picking 4:0 vs 4:1. I reckon that one point for a correct prediction; a bonus half point for a close prediction, and a bonus one point for an exact prediction is fair and reasonable. Readers, please weigh in! 19 Jul 12:53

Completely agree! Let's remember that the primary objective of the game is to predict the correct outcome (win or draw) of a game which requires some skills to be successful. However,
to predict the exact score is pure luck.To illustrate: player 1 predicts the currect outcome (no close ot exact score) of the first 3 games of a round and receives 3 points - an excellent performance as she/he has a 100% correct outcome prediction. Player 2 predicts just one correct outcome (33.3% correct prediction) however has the exact score and receives three points as well - not really fair. A fairer system would be to award 1 point for the outcome, 1.5 points for a close score and 2 points for the exact score and this suggestion is shared by many of my friends who enjoy the game since many years as I do. 26 Jul 02:29

The current system is fair and well done Superbru.
Participants have got to remember that luck is only one of many ingredients that is factored when you make your picks.... So astute pickers will always complain when they are robbed buts it's the same for everyone...

Fair comments, Professor! Google tells me that Lefty Gomez said "I'd rather be lucky than good". Gary Player reckoned that the more he practiced, the luckier he got. Perhaps I should enter more Superbru Football competitions, in the hope of getting better! I do believe that with triple-point-exact-score-payouts in the Football predictions, luck plays a far bigger role than in the other sports. Not that I'd being getting more exact scores if the payout was less! 25 Jul 17:18

I agree with you Dreaded Red, I think predicting the outcome, win, lose or draw is the most important part of the challenge, the actual goal amount is pure luck, not to take away any of last seasons winners or high placings but quite often you will see that Superbrus that have finished lower down the table had a higher amount of correct outcomes than those above them who had been "lucky" in getting the exact goal tally, the previous seasons scoring was the better version. 26 Jul 02:11

No matter how knowledgeable you are, there's other factors that determine the outcome of a match like injuries ect. while playing. But the worse has to be own goals, which could even mean a team winning 1/0 though they didn't even score. So why should a player not be rewarded for thier 'lucky' picks with 3 points if a team can win an entire match because of luck. I also like to think of the 3 points from a purely marketing strategy point of view by Supebru. It's a business like any other. And for a business to prosper it has to grow. So how will they entice new players to keep playing, by winning a yellow cap I guess. How good does it feel to be the Best player in a round. Not everyone aims to be global champs. It's been said most players that do get the exact picks are not regulars, so why not give them thier time to shine and eventually they will become Superbru fans for life too . . .

Quality input PandaBear! I must admit I never even considered that side of it. Luck, misfortune, the bounce of the ball, refereeing inconsistencies, and a host of other imponderables play a massive role in sport. Perhaps that is the charm? Also like your view that the pleasure a bru feels after a good round is at the heart of playing Superbru. Share the joy around! I'm competitive, and want to do well, so perhaps I lose perspective. When I started playing Superbru 2 years ago, I was focussed on doing well in the pools. Now I'm much more focussed on my Global position in each tournament, and my annual position on the Club medal tables. I actually feel like I've been done in when a late penalty miss costs me three points! 26 Jul 17:02

Thank you DreadedRed, I also understand the frustration side of opinions as well. My red cards are safely tucked in my pocket until we start the discussion regarding Cricket predictor points haha. . .i was thankful changes were made but after the CWC I still feel more could be done to improve it.
When I first started, I only participated in a handful of tournaments for the first few years. It was the Prize pools that got me hooked. 27 Jul 08:04

Well said although I was global champion for the Super Rugby Fantasy 2 years ago and it gave me warm fuzzier for a week...
I'm hoping luck does not play a part in the Big rugby test tonight in Wellington, New Zealand. Go ABS. ..

Why only a week ?? Prof ? I relived my runner up global finish for Super Rugby Superstars the entire year by looking at my screenshots 2/16k and smiling to myself lol. I had my box of tissues ready when I finish top 2% this year. I thought we suppose to get older and wiser has time goes by. . .
No it won't be luck, it will be the ref. taking center stage. 27 Jul 08:16

Let me stick my Kiwi oar into your African KIller Bees' nest. Perhaps SB should do another poll? Maybe compromise with Exacts being worth 2.5 even though many agree 2 is about right. At least the Slam Points help us claw back the odd extra but many get 1 Slam so only a few get 2 per EPL 10 match round. So a 1 point gain that doesn't really compensate enough for 'Dumb Luckers' fluking 3 exacts, yet getting 5 or 6 or even 7 completely wrong. They have grabbed 9 when the next picker using the same Blunderbuss scattershot approach might get 7 closes for 10.5 plus 1 Slam so 11.5, compared to Mr or Ms Lumb-Ducker getting 9 & say 1 result and no Slam as they didn't get 5 outcomes right, so 10 in total. Only 1.5 worse off yet they got only 4 outcomes correct compared to 7.

So maybe the obvious solution is to make Slam Points harder to get but BIGGER. Say 1 for 6, 2 for 7-8 & 3 for 9-10. Its not that hard to get 5 out of 10 afterall.

BREAKING NEWS. Lefty Gomez was killed by a Gary Player miss-hit golf ball today. He was driving to a Bruce Springsteen concert at Sun City, having won a free ticket on 'Stupid You' a new 'Upstart Sports Predictor Website' created by several disgruntled former Superbru players.

After 22 weekends the top SuperBru pickers are averaging around 2.25 Exact scores per 10 games and getting only about 38 - 45% wrong. If they did that in the 1st weekend or even for 2 to 3 weekends it could be down to luck, but surely after 22 weekends it must be because their knowledge of teams and strategies are better at picking "Exact" scores, which would make them more likely to pick up a "Close" or a "Result"? I totally agree with all the above comments that there is a lot of luck (or lack of luck :-) involved, but I find it hard to believe those at the top of the 80,000 pool have just had a 220 game lucky streak.
