**Superbru** is a sports prediction website,[1] founded in 2006,[2][3] owned by SportEngage [Ltd](/source/Limited_company).[4][5] Predictions generally revolve around major competitions such as the [FIFA World Cup](/source/FIFA_World_Cup),[6][7] [English Premier League](/source/English_Premier_League),[8] or [Wimbledon](/source/The_Championships,_Wimbledon), across different sports, such as [rugby league](/source/Rugby_league) and [cycling](/source/Cycle_sport).[citation needed]

Superbru has been used to show how data scientists can correctly predict scores; such as *Principa* out-predicting 99.68% of human predictions for the [2015 Rugby World Cup](/source/2015_Rugby_World_Cup).[9][10] As of 2018, Superbru has over 1.5 million registered users.[11][12]

## History

SuperBru was founded in 2001 as a Super 12's prediction game, in the [University of Cape Town](/source/University_of_Cape_Town), as a paper based league. In 2003, the game was merged online, with access not available to the public. In 2006, Superbru was opened; with financial support from web design company *[Nevado](/source/Nevado)*, and later created a [United Kingdom](/source/United_Kingdom) version, called *Sports Guru*.[a] In 2011, Superbru moved away from Nevado, creating *SportsEngage*, financing the website.[11][13]
