My prediction:

@Joo732's prediction:

There are 2 ways of looking at this.

1 - He thought that I am a premier league predicting legend and he copied my predictions simply on the basis of me being a professional sports analyst 

Or

2 - He didn't want to make up his own predictions and just copied and pasted someone else's, only changing 1 match and 1 tiebreaker figure by 1 digit

At the end of the day, does it matter? Not really. I couldn't be bothered if someone copied me over a 50k sats max prize giveaway. If he doesn't want to be original and make up his own predictions, then so be it.

However, doing something like this is a a bit selfish and if it was to come down to the final digit and he won, it would remove my bragging rights to Faris and I won't be able to call myself the number 1 predictor.

So, what do you guys think of this? xD

Maybe this is his own prediction how you say this is your copy this is a matches prediction and mostly people chose strong teams because mostly win strong team just few times upsets maybe this is my prediction same you then you say I copy you

hmmm. I don't think that is cheating. Even though I don't know if he intentionally copied your Estimated Match Score or maybe he has what he thinks will be right according to him. I'm not sure.
But in my opinion, that isn't cheating

He predicted everything the same as me, he only changed the last match and my tiebreaker was 53223 and his was 54223 - He obviously copied me ...

You clearly copied me xD

Yes he did 'cheat' and copied, but it is allowed. If you don't want your predictions to be copied, you should post them close to the closing time...

Still hope you'll be more right than he will be :) (2nd and 3rd place after me)

I do know that it is allowed and it doesn’t really bother me, but I still find it funny how some people do it. Making up your own score surely shouldn’t be too difficult xD 

I was one of the last people to post it btw. He posited it 10 minutes before the start of the premier league matches. This clearly shows that he was rushing for it and at least he copied an expert ;)

I don't think it was cheating. But there was a lack of originality from those who did it last. Results predictions in sports can be almost or identical to the other. But a faithful copy in all aspects, I think it is unlikely!

As some say, follow the game!

I have not join this giveaway yet so far as I do not have much of a interest in football / soccer but I would have to say that it does seems not cool that the other guy's predictions is a carbon copy of yours Thepug.

What comes around goes back around. Karma is a bitch. If it is true that he copied your prediction. (which I am not sure because he is the only one who could honestly say it) let karma do it's own thing. Just move on and you are too blessed to chase for the small amount of satoshis. You deserve better than that I suppose. Good luck mate!

Looks like same but only in one game & tiebreaker prediction slightly changed. Though can't say if he really copied it or not. Maybe both of you have same thought running in your head 😁. That's why it matched.

Firstly dude the odds of that happening is insanely low, and the fact that the tiebreaker is only changed by 1 digit just makes it even more lower. 

Back to the topic, I have seen this happen many many times. It has happened with Faris's predictions as well, mine too and surely many more. But if you think about it, it would seem very hard for support to be checking if people have copied other peoples predictions. After all this is just a fun sorta game for the people at discord, and not so big of a prize. 

However, I think if reported and its like literally exactly the same, like I said I have seen before, they should just not include him or delete that forum post, that seems more plausible. :)

we never know whether someone copied someone's guess. because the score will only struggle with the numbers alone. and take it easy  @Thepug you get 6 points and @Joo732 4 points. because you're guessing right liverpool 2-0 is the same as my guess 🤩🤩. I dont know  tierbreaker value 🤣🤣🤣

I also often copy other people's guesses because I am lazy to write the length of the discord, but for the score I always replace everything with what my heart says and it is always 100% different from the guess I copied.

Oh what does tierbreaker mean?

Well we can't say its cheating .. he might have copied your predictions but he made some slight changes in it too + its no harm at all XD just following others predictions :)

Him only changing the Liverpool score was the thing that completely messed him up, as that was the only one that I got exactly correct. As @Nicol3said before, Karma is a bitch xD

It's quite possible that the betslip was copied.

  But really, cheating?

To be called a cheater or cheat is a strong word at a casino, and should not be used unless you are 100% certain that the player in question did actually cheat. 

To the best of my knowledge everything this player did is perfectly fine, even if he did copy the slip and change one part.   

It's simple. Don't like the rules, don't play the game.   

But as far as I'm concerned,  if a player accused me of cheating in a public forum and I'm sure I hadn't broken any rules, I'd complain to support. 

While copying a bet slip might not be the coolest thing you can do, calling someone a cheater because if it, isn't right.

maybe it's true as you say, but he has made a defense that in my opinion "ok" is a natural thing.

maybe in the next score prediction, score makers who feel accurate and famous can make a post at the end in order to minimize copy. and we see who can occupy the top 3 positions 😁😁
