Heineken Cup/Amlin Challenge/SuperXV Sportsguru tipping comps - UPDATED July 2012

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Mon 17 Oct 2011 - 15:00

Hi all, just a heads up that I have set up 606v2 pools so we can have friendly tipping competitions for a fair few upcoming tournaments. Details are below.

In the past we have organised pools in tipping competitions run via www.sportsguru.com. Sportsguru recently merged with www.SuperBru.com, and they appear to have kept the SG tipping engine, while using the SuperBru brand. As a result, if you have not done so already you have the option of shifting your SG log-in over - it's a fairly painless process, even if (like I did) you already have an account on SuperBru.

Don't do it Kiwi, or there's no point the rest of us trying!

Who is the daddy after week 1?

pah, only by 0.25 points Hobo!

by PJHolybloke Mon 14 Nov 2011 - 7:02

You may be the daddy Hobo and Dreamer may be the mommy - but who's the third cousin twice removed then, eh? Very Happy

Hope you are still crowing in a few weeks time. Beginners luck?

by Adam D Fri 18 Nov 2011 - 21:51

All 4 correct tonight as well Very Happy

I was close on a few of the results but no exacts though.

by manofgwent Fri 18 Nov 2011 - 22:15

It's all about the pro 12 sport guru!!!

Quick question. Called into William hill on my rush home. Had a £5 accumulator on scarlets +11, Irish +8, clermont -28 and Edinburgh -1. Edinburgh came back and won by 1 point. Does that make it a draw and therefore a lost bet? Please help.

by wales606 Mon 2 Jan 2012 - 13:10

Im now top of the global list for the Pro12 sportsguru Smile

BOW TO MY PREDICTING ABILITY!

by **Pal Joey** Tue 3 Jan 2012 - 7:21

You're doing very well mate.

Go the Blues!

I'm-a-slipping on the Pro12... and pretty pathetic in the HC. steam

by Guest Thu 19 Jan 2012 - 11:02

Hi all,

I do this competition but the links to this round of the amlin and HC in the email reminders don't work. Anyone else struggling??? Even googling Sport Guru and following the link doesn't work. I've tried both internet explorer and firefox Sad

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Thu 19 Jan 2012 - 11:04

Griff, I've just submitted mine with firefox www.sportguru.com - new format for the webiste tho - belay that, just tried the link and it looks like the site is down temporarily

by Guest Thu 19 Jan 2012 - 12:52

Cheers As. The one I have in my favourites, where I usually make my predictions, is www.sportguru.co.uk not .com. Just tried it again and it says that 'Internet Explorer cannot display this page' Sad

There's an Amplin game tonight isn't there? Want to make my predictions quickly!

by Guest Thu 19 Jan 2012 - 12:56

Just tried Griff, and I managed to log in okay, maybe try again? the .co.uk one worked for me

by Guest Thu 19 Jan 2012 - 14:18

Managed it on my phone now, thanks guys. It was on my work computer that was the problem, but I always do it in work! Maybe big brother is closing in...!

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Mon 23 Jan 2012 - 9:23

Hello 606,
I've just set up a pool (606v2) for the RFU Championship on Sports guru, seems strange to start this so late into the season?
All are welcome

last weekend of the sportguru european challenges and DubRos is about to win both HC and AC 606 pools so well done to him.

by **Pal Joey** Fri 18 May 2012 - 11:43

Yes, it's a great effort from DubRos to win both of those pools. Well done!

by DubRos Fri 18 May 2012 - 14:59

Thanks guys, twas fun.

by Rava Mon 21 May 2012 - 13:45

Yep, well done Dub clap

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Mon 23 Jul 2012 - 16:50

All, I've added a bundle of up-coming tipping comps to the OP
- next season's RaboCop and Jeff
- the SH 4N
- the NZ and SA provincial comps
- English Soccer Premiership

HEC and Amlin will be added soon, I presume SuperBru will set them up once the draw's out.

by **Ozzy3213** Mon 23 Jul 2012 - 16:52

I got the invites to the Rabo and Jeff, what are the codes for the others?

I'm in, well, once you accept obviously. when do the ITM and Currie Cup start?

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Mon 23 Jul 2012 - 17:51

Curry Cup starts August 11th, ITM cup starts Aug 23rd (so both overlap with the Rugby Championship)

by **Biltong** Mon 23 Jul 2012 - 18:14

I have joined and also PM'd the other saffers.

ALL 4 of them. Laugh

by **Pal Joey** Tue 24 Jul 2012 - 11:07

Thanks Kiwi... got yours and a few other invites as well.

I'm gonna sit out RABO and Heino Cup this year (too unfamiliar), the Premier League (too many games!), Aviva (no interest)

How many games in the Currie Cup Biltong? I've no idea about team make ups and form, etc but might give it a go for kicks.

Will have a go at ITM and Rugby Championship though. I really need to reduce my load Wink

I was doing 8 tipping comps at the same time at one stage and it was like a full time job trying to keep up with it.

by **Biltong** Tue 24 Jul 2012 - 11:23

There are six teams this year LB, 10 matches each. so all in all 30 round robin matches and the semis and final.

I set a challenge on Super bru for the "foreigners" so join the currie cup. thumbsup

by **Pal Joey** Tue 24 Jul 2012 - 11:32

Just joined mate... your home province is WP?
Am I in the right one? If not, can you send me the invite?
Looks good... looking forward to it.

by **Biltong** Tue 24 Jul 2012 - 11:40

Nope, I don't have a specific team. Did you pick the 606v2 one?

by **Biltong** Tue 24 Jul 2012 - 11:42

You are in the right one LB. thumbsup

by **Pal Joey** Tue 24 Jul 2012 - 11:42

yes, there's about 4 others in it... you, fernn, kiwi, ozzy and me.
Now for a bit of research before it kicks off - aiming to come at least 3rd this time. Smile

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Tue 24 Jul 2012 - 11:44

Any chance that someone (in authority?!) could set up a T14 comp?

by **Biltong** Tue 24 Jul 2012 - 11:45

I'll provide you guys with a guide to the 6 teams later on, it should give you a good indication of how the teams should perform.

The currie cup results especially in the first half when the rugby championship is on will not go according to the Super rugby conference.

The cheetahs and Lions are much more competitive here. In fact the teams are more equal and if you go home advantage you will have a 70% accuracy.

by **Pal Joey** Tue 24 Jul 2012 - 11:46

Asbo, I've just received an invite from Dylan

Pool name: Dylans Top14
Pool code: spunpelt

just deciding whether to enter it myself.

Thanks for the heads up Biltong.... much appreciated Champ!

by **Pal Joey** Tue 24 Jul 2012 - 11:51

Kiwi - I was going add the Top 14 one up in the title but realised it's not an 'official' 606v2... although Dylan is on here, right?

Instead corrected "Curry" to Currie. Just as tasty hopefully. Very Happy

There's also this one:

"Ian Phillips (Dylan) has invited you to join a sports prediction pool on SuperBru."

Pool name: Dylans Currie Cup
Pool code: theedrip

by **Biltong** Tue 24 Jul 2012 - 11:53

Do you guys get to see some of the currie cup?
