The average success rate in last years Predictor was 68%, so this weeks 78% is pretty impressive (only once was this surpassed last season).  The running total over the opening three weeks of the season is 75% from 4,305 entries submitted from 154 entrants.

Our nine entrants who scored 100% are:


However, despite the wide odds we did have a "surprise result" (according to the Predictor Odds at least) with Mull winning at home against Bishopton, whilst another couple of games were won by only a single score - East Kilbride v Kilmarnock whilst Dalziel won against Cumnock with a penalty kick in the dying minutes.

Qualification for a place on the overall Leaderboard this week requires a minimum of two entries.

David McCrae continues to lead the way (92.9% from 28 entries submitted), but there's plenty of competition hot on his heels.


Last season we ran a "random" entry each week, which over the course of the season did show a return of 53%.  This year we're running an entry based on the Odds themselves.  This is currently sitting at 90% (36 correct from 40 games played).

The full scorecard is available here (opens a Google spreadsheet).
