Superbru Jackpot: So close to a Round 1 Premier League winner!
It's fair to say lots of Superbru players had a very good opening round in our Premier League Predictor!
As most of you will know having seen the banners in our Predictor game and/or this article last week, if you score 28 points in a 10-match round of our Premier League Predictor, you can win £10,000 in association with our partner Hollywoodbets*.
Yesterday, 3 Superbru players were still in with a chance of scooping the prize if they managed an Exact score in the Leicester vs. Tottenham match.
Unfortunately, the upset in that final game meant the prize wasn't won, though a different player had 1-1 Exact to top the global leaderboard after Round 1 with a very impressive 27.5 points!
'I_Welcome_The_Chase', 'Dirty Harry' and 'Craggle Rock' were all still in contention unlike those that were above them on the leaderboard because they had 9/9 correct picks meaning an Exact for Leicester vs. Spurs would also have seen them receive a third and final Slam Point to reach the magic number of 28 points.
Those three players had predicted 0-2, 1-2 and 0-1 respectively, meaning any of those scorelines yesterday evening would have seen the jackpot won.
Had Jamie Vardy's header not gone in, or if Richarlison scored that late header, or had Tottenham scored any of the many chances they created at the King Power, things could have been very different but what a fantastic effort from those three brus and so many others in this opening round!
Here's a look at Wade's excellent picks that saw him just 0.5 points away from the jackpot.
Only Brighton's victory at Goodison Park surprised Wade and a Brighton pick would have secured enough points - though Alejandro Garnacho is probably more to blame for the jackpot being missed as if he converted his fantastic chance late on against Fulham then that would have been 9 Exacts!
Overall in Round 1, four players ended up within just a couple of points of the magic 28. The Superbru Jackpot remains up for grabs, though it might not be for much longer at this rate!
Remember, just by making your score predictions on Superbru for each round as usual, you are in with a free chance of winning the big prize.
Good luck with your Round 2 predictions and make sure you tell your friends and family to have a go too as it's not late to join our Premier League Predictor game!

Top performer
Last night's 1-1 draw meant that instead, 'Wade' from South Africa was the top performer in Round 1 with a remarkable 27.5 points!Here's a look at Wade's excellent picks that saw him just 0.5 points away from the jackpot.
Only Brighton's victory at Goodison Park surprised Wade and a Brighton pick would have secured enough points - though Alejandro Garnacho is probably more to blame for the jackpot being missed as if he converted his fantastic chance late on against Fulham then that would have been 9 Exacts!

Superbru on X
Superbru, when are you updating the RSA VS Windies cricket?
again just 4 changes per round, why can't you change it to 6 ?
cause sometimes a player gets injured in the 2nd minute, but your bench player won't come on, becuase that player did start, so it is not a case of a bad choice or pick, just plain bad luck that can cost you a lot of points, 21 Aug 11:53
So either half points for bench players or half points when selecting bench player will help alot. 21 Aug 11:56
But forget all that, as I think the bigger reason Superbru have calculated their money is pretty safe (using previous seasons' data regression analysis) is the PITIFULLY low value of SLAM POINTS, compared to the "Here, have TWO extra per Exact sweeties" compared to getting the outcome right! You only got a paltry TWO Slam Points. Its all so out of whack and well, just a 'randomiser'. Instead of properly rewarding consistency IMHO 21 Aug 18:08
