Depends on whether there's fixture congestion or not. Has been known to happen...

Unless someone decides to amend their prediction before kick-off*, which wouldn't be breaking any rules... ;-)


*Allowing for EDF clock time delay

It would be breaking the rules.


You are not allowed to do that!

Of course you are. On PredictAddict you can change your predictions as many times as you want peior to kick off, after which it 'freezes'. If a prediction has been made on here after the official kick-off time then it will become void. I will work out what the time delay is after I've posted this...


Currently 5mins, so any predictions posted within 5mins of kick off will be void...

It's been re-arranged for next Monday, 24th...

By my calculations, 2 players definitely out, and it's 1 from 4 for the other wooden spoon place.

In the event of 2 or more players finishing on the same number of points, the player with the highest number of correct scores from all 3 rounds will go through. If it's still a tie, Ots gets to toss his double headed threepenny bit again...

You're right RD.


I don't think I was including the Sheff Wed predictions when I did the calculations.


I still don't think you should be allowed to change them. The fact that you can do it on predict addict is totally different because you can't see anyone else's predictions!


Just my opinion.


I certainly won't be changing mine to 2-1 just so I'll stay above you!

There are pros and cons with a ban on changing predictions. For instance if Barca announced today that Messi, Iniesta and Xavi were injured in training, I'd want to be able to change my prediction to reflect this. I think if someone did what you describe, it would be quite obvious and their 'win' would be tarnished. There are other loopholes in the format too, for instance there's nothing to stop someone waiting until everyone else has posted their predictions before posting their own. I can think of one player who is regularly one of the last to post their predictions... coincidence or tactics? I guess it comes down to the morals of the individual...

What would you do AM if you were one point behind me, and we both made the same prediction for the the Shef Wed game, thereby it was a 'dead rubber' and you couldn't beat me? Personally I'd have no problem if you changed your prediction. I think that is different than someone deliberately posting a matching prediction to stop a rival from catching them...

Not sure about everyone else but I never look at what else people have predicted

It's all about the fun of getting it right? or am I missing something


as for changing predictions I would rather get them in and then leave alone

that way everyone in same boat

I wouldn't change them on principle. Plus I'd feel like I cheated. I'm not that desperate to get into the top eight.

      T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD

      By red5 · Posted

      I have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect
