I didn't do too bad this round getting 8.5 points and coming 30th out of 50 but still ended up rock bottom on the table  . I didn't bother watching the Liverpool game as I thought it would be boring and an safe Liverpool win. What happened to them? Nobody picked the Villa win and only one person went for the draw. Villa are now second in the table with a game in hand. Everton are in first place right now and they've playing Liverpool in the first game next round. Now that will be a game to watch.


There's no games until the 17th now because of the crappy international break.

I'm watching it. West Ham are just the better team and Leicester have been lacklustre. Annoying as I only needed Leicester to win for my five fold but doubt that will be coming in unless Leicester can turn things around pretty quickly in the first half.


I'm a Leeds fan but I had them pegged to be a relegation favourite. If they keep playing like they have been then there's no reason why they can't do really well this season. A point against City and nearly one against Liverpool is pretty good going.

No correct scores yet but I've got all the outcomes right so far today. I'm surprised only two other people went for the draw on the Leeds/City game as Leeds have been playing pretty well in my opinion. Three backed Leeds to win and the rest was City away wins. City dominated the first half but I think Leeds were the better team in the second, though they started to struggle towards the end but got the deserved point.

Maybe the ranks could be tweaked a bit. Legendary should probably follow the other ranks at 750 merit and in doubling with every one. I'd like to see an additional rank for those very high merited users. Some other perks would be nice.


That's like saying life's too short to care about money or a promotion at work. It's those things that often give people a better life so that's why they desire them as ranks here = promotion and more merit = more money and time saved if they can get it. The majority of people who spend their time here desperately trying to achieve ranks or earn from from campaigns are probably doing it because it's one of their better options. Would you rather be unemployed or do back-breaking menial work when you can get paid from the comfort of your own home for doing some posting? Some signature campaigns pay a good amount of money and if you're from the developing world getting on a campaign like Chipmixer might be life-changing money so that's why people are desperate for merit/ranks as it means more money for them. If most of these people had better options they'd probably be doing them but sadly they likely don't.

I would have said City are the better team over Leicester but they turned them over and Leeds very much deserved a point from the Liverpool game. If it wasn't for the two penalties they arguably would have got the full 3. Hopefully Leeds can take advantage of City's weakened team and recent performance. Leeds are playing Leicester at home at the end of the month as well and that will be another potentially great game.

More donator ranks as in new, different ones ie Silver and Gold Member etc.


I'm not suggesting people buy accounts or even the current user ranks but the benefits thereof ie you buy a Silver Membership which gets you the benefits of Full Member and Gold gets you the benefits of a Hero or something. You'd still be a Newbie or whatever just with the additional title. It's very hard for an average poster to rise through the ranks, hell, even a decent poster probably won't achieve the sufficient merit to become a Hero within the timeframe it takes to get the required activity so skipping the queue by donating seems like a win-win to me.

Seems some people are getting desperate to rank up as a couple of people have messaged me recently as well as a couple of people reporting unsolicited PMs. I usually just ignore the messages but people need to be really careful as this can easily backfire and they can end up tarnishing their account. I still really think we should add more donator ranks so things like this are less likely to happen and people can just buy themselves the equivalent rank rather than beg and fish for merits with threads created solely to try receive merit. It's counter-productive when that happens.

Who knows which Spurs and Manchester teams turn up. Both teams are unpredictable. Spurs are playing their second game this week tonight so that should be taken into consideration. I think it's worth a watch either way. Could be a lot of goals. I think I'll got for 2-2 but wait for the line-ups and score from tonight's game. The must watch game for me though is Leeds/City. Could be a lot of goals in that one too and will be interesting to see how Leeds get on. If they can play well against them and grab a point or three I think they can do anything this season especially after their performance against Liverpool. City have a weekend team right now so they can certainly take advantage of that.

Bale is out for at least a month. They could do with him this week though as Spurs have three games this week. I was going to back a draw with their game against Man United on Sunday but with it being away and their third game in six days they might struggle.


People shouldn't expect too much from him but Madrid barely played him so it's hard to judge what form he's in right now but he looked pretty good in the CL final a couple of years ago where he scored one of it not the best greatest CL final goal of all time. I'm looking forward to him playing anyway.

I love watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZKF9HCRMvQ

It's like a scene out of a movie. The music is weirdly perfect.


Seems average at best to me. Holm is pretty much the only fighter I'd be interested in watching. There's not really any cards I'm super interested in until UFC 254 with Khabib/Gaethje to be honest.

McGregor has said that his next fight will be Vs Manny Pacquiao. I'll believe that when I see it but if he's interested in fighting again he should just get back to the UFC. I'm sure Dana will be more than happy to give him some big fights.

No, I didn't see it but figured it was only a matter of time before someone spotted he was ban evading. A few people were banned last year during the pool but it doesn't really matter. They can contact me via superbru if they win anything. Bitsat is one of the players that hasn't paid yet though so if he doesn't by the 12th he'll be removed anyway.

Easily the worst I've ever done. It was a crazy round for sure.


As Trofo said, the weekly yellow caps mean a lot more this season as the $50 free bet is quite lucrative. I will probably do at least one consolation prize for the highest yellow cap scorer overall as well and maybe even pay a couple of places, but I'm waiting till everyone has paid before I announce them so I know what budget we've got.


They've already been played, unless you mean you're going to watch them  .

They probably will do as Chelsea and City have disappointed so far and I thought they'd be serious contenders this year. Maybe we'll have an unexpected winner this season. Leicester and Everton have all played well and are the only teams to win all three games so far. Leeds have impressed as well. Not suggesting they'll challenge for the title but they've done better than expected and were unlucky not to get a point from the Liverpool game. The game against Man City this upcoming weekend will be a big test for them but I feel they can win it the way City have been playing. There could be a lot of goals from both sides in that match much like the Liverpool fixture.

Well I didn't think mine were either but I only managed 1.5 from the Liverpool game. It was just a crazy week with a lot of upsets. Remember there were two matches where nobody picked the outcome at all.


Don't think so. It was fortebet and rdbase:



It's only the third round so where you are now doesn't mean much and I'm sure the table will look completely different by the end. Everyone will have bad weeks or runs. All you can do is your best but I wouldn't worry too much about where you are in the table right now. A few correct scores and you'll soon start to climb up the table.

I'm sure they won't want to do that and that's why it should be stated upfront if it's required, as many people will just assume it's not needed only then to be annoyingly blocked when they win and try cashout which isn't fair. I feel like casinos should be upfront about this regardless of if it turns people away or not. They're only going to turn many more away when this happens or if there's uncertainty.

I predict a boring match and maybe they'll cancel each other out. Gone for a draw on the PL predictor. I certainly can't back a favourite, though maybe there's a slight home advantage and Villa did beat Sheff United at home on their first game.


Great  . That would make the match even harder to predict. I also think Liverpool should win though a draw wouldn't surprise me but I'm still going to back the home side. Arsenal have won all their games so far but haven't really been against any decent teams, both arguable relegation favourites or certainly contenders.

I think you miss my point as well: more complaints and scam accusations = less money fore them as well (including tarnished reputations). The whole point of using bitcoin casinos is to not have to go through KYC. If they're going to demand it after a win then more people will just stay away and I would advise them to do so if they're demanding this information only after an attempted cash out.


If this has become common practice then people should push for change and react accordingly if casinos are abusing this to withhold money from people.

Their life will be hard when people are constantly complaining about not being able to withdraw funds and I'm seeing this more and more. They should either be using KYC properly and requesting it upon sign-up or not at all. I think most if not all legit sites will make you set up KYC before you can even proceed in the first place. A bank wouldn't let you create an account then ask for KYC after you've deposited or tried to withdraw money. Bitcoin sites shouldn't be knowingly let you play from an excluded country then asking for KYC as a barrier to withdrawal as this is just giving them an opportunity to not pay out. If this becomes common it's only a matter of time before someone is due a huge pay out and the casino blocks it through this loophole just because they don't want to take their loss. Their reputations will quickly become tarnished if this is so.

I'm on zero points so far. Surely Liverpool can beat Arsenal to get me point? Fulham and Villa is hard to predict a winner. I don't think there will be many goals but who knows with this crazy round.


It seriously needs to be reviewed. Even the Newcastle boss Steve Bruce said it was a silly decision. It's taking far too much time out of the game which was already a problem and now they've made it worse as refs have started going over to the touchline to watch 5 minutes of replays from every conceivable angle. Firstly, I don't think every goal should be checked. What's the point going looking for something or penalising someone because the lace of his boot was offside? If you have to zoom in and start putting computer generated grids on the pitch to see if someone was a millimetre offside then it's going too far and is obviously overkill. Many players don't even celebrate now because there's a good chance of VAR overruling it for something. If nobody's spotted anything or the opposite team isn't complaining what's the problem? Let a team have 3 appeals per game like in tennis. That would cut down on any false claims and only legit ones would be challenged.

The thing is is that certain things are still open to interpretation like a 'clear and obvious error' and the hands being in an 'unnatural' position. Well what the hell is an unnatural position? Your hands naturally should be straight down your sides but obviously not when running. Or jumping. When you jump your use your hands to propel yourself up, so it's natural for your hands to be stretched out as balance or above your head. Take a look at when defenders put their hands behind their backs to try avoid the ball hitting them. Ironically doing that makes them not in a natural position because nobody does that when running or playing football, so what if the ball hits their hand behind their back when they turn their back to avoid getting hit in the face which many of them now do (and ironically they're not able to use their hands to protect their face). Is that handball when you're not even looking at the ball? I've seen them given. Many attackers often take advantage of the defender having his arms behind him as he's off balance and they can easily move past them instead of crossing it in.


Yeah, it was good but it seemed more like a reckless swing at it and hope for the best. I think both Vardy's cheeky flick and Madison's goal in the Leicester game were better.


Not a single person even backed the West Ham home win which is bizarre. I went with a low scoring 1-1 draw but I'm surprised nobody had a faith in the home win.

Weird. I can move threads there on this account. There must be some sort of restrictions on who can, but Junior Members are now popping up claiming they can do it so not sure who it's limited to. Maybe it's an error or a bug.
