gwnn Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Maybe we should have a 'Wisdom of the Crowd' pick (just to find out what will actually happen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: Most of the non BBFs have put Spain in the quarterfinals in VC, while no member but me trusted them :wacko:. They probably didn't know yet that the third pair was composed with the woman who has read every read ever written and the other who never ever received a lesson let alone read a book and its proud of it. Those 2 are gonna be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdanno Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 If the crowd wins, does everybody get a bottle of wine? :) Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Scottish wine is probably best avoided anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRW Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Whatever the merits of Scottish wine, I'd settle for a sweet black & tan or a pint o' heavy anyhow. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDluxe Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Cool! Months offline, and I return to the land of the 'virtually living' right before the start of the BB. How keen. Of course, I miss the cut off for the pick'em. How sad. Good luck to all the competitors! I know the pool made watching fun last time 'round. Just for that purpose, here's my BB picks.

I had not considering giving a bottle of Scottish wine as a prize but, as Wayne suggests, if the Wisdom of the Crowd wins then I think 2ml each would be more than most could stand.

Fluffy Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 so far USA1 and Brazil are not doing as wisdom of the crowd predicted :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roupoil Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Oh, thanks for adding me, I was indeed playing for fun.

And to answer Fluffy's post, I already begin to think I might regret my big gamble : putting Brazil in the BB final :rolleyes: . I did that too :P, I wanted to bet on a surpsie, and that you always do on a friend, so it was Brenner or Pacareu. I would switch to Chile now hehe. But anyway its too early, Brazil will have a comeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 What happened to Brazil at the BB? I thouhgt they were gonna do so much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterGill Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 The younger talent from Chile (Robles - Pacareu) and Argentina (Pellegrini - Ravenna) is doing well, but the older talent (Brazil and USA1) is not. This forum was told before the event that Brazil's lead-up form was not good, and that USA1 was seeded 20th in the Spingold and performed accordingly. Perhaps Brazil needed to include some of their younger talent e.g. Brum in their team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberlour10 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Europeans show in BB good performance, all teams in the top8 at the moment. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
