I have to admit, I thought the same. I expected Crafty to get a clear win,
although I also expected lots of draws.

Watching all the games so far real time changed my mind. For me Junior is the
favourite by now and I would put my money on it if I had any to waste on risky
bets ;). Book so far has been more of an advantage for Crafty btw. And when I
forget about the few boring draws, watching the games has been huge fun.
