I was negligent today, so didn't update here but for those who follow and know you always take City when odds are above 10/1, you know you smash that bet button! It was 11/1 with a boost but interestingly, after the own goal, Wolves were still 9/1 and City a massively lousy 12/10 value so I took a live bet for fun on the home team right then.
There's probably some great value in UCL coming up, I'll try not to be lazy here!

I went on live betting today, very rare that I put all the leaders/favs in a single acca but I was trying out something new (backing the team with an early lead and better possession). Ipswich went right into that, but not PNE, and Boro (!!) despite their recent letdowns from them. Terrible result, but I was never confident on any, and serves me right for trusting Everton in EPL...

Vindicated for clearing Brighton out of my squad (except Estupinan, swapped in for Marsch). After their last big loss I was sure they'd do it again and they've gone and just done that. Own goal, yellow cards, bad day to have BHA on your team! It's a good thing that Estupinan was replaced at half-time How many negative points do you even get for conceding 6 goals? Watkins with 3 goals and 2 assists, fantastic start for all of us that have him in our teams. Can't believe I shipped out Marsch for Estupinan (I thought he was doing well for me but he was not getting game time so I switched last GW). -2 is what I have, I think that's just fr the own goal though, I think conceding doesn't result in negative once you get 0, but am too uninspired to look it up. 20 points for Watkins, fab return (also he has been ok for price past couple GWs), so I feel I did ok with 18 points (thanks Estupinan).

@buwaytress @KTChampions you know that i do this every week (before the matchday starts) and ask all participants for their picks we all want to have a very fair competition here and fun at the highest level Yeah, I think all of the pools on this forum remind everyone. Fair and fun is the desire, am sure no one here likes winning without a fair chance for opponent, but I thank the reminder anyway as I would surely have missed it. And what a precious 4 points it turned out to be -- even with the sending off I was right to trust my gut =D 3.5 option still not reached, but expect it to be until the end pick was for a draw, still not out of reach either, and seems realistic on the pitch, looking at playing style
Happy for that final goal, though, right? I also hedge a lot on pools. Bets that go against picks so I win *somewhere*!

notblox1 I just saw your responses for Spurs/Liv and I feel like this game will explode today... cryptofrka did pick Saints though, I feel they draw so that keeps you guys tied until the final Yes/No. This would be my earliest win of all time in this pool, That's If it is not a record of all-time fastest win in BSFL history, I mean when both parties have submitted in a timely fashion, have there been anyone to win a match up after the 5 games have been graded and 5 games yet to be ? If not, this should go down into the history book.
Sorry friend, you're just going to have to be content with winning against a team clearly exhausted (I don't feel sorry for them). I believe I hold that record in the penultimate game of Season 2 vs CLS63. I won the first two questions that played out in less than 4 hours after submission deadline had passed. The rest of our answers were eerily exactly the same, so I won by 2 "goals".

I missed this post until too late. Busy day and could only look at bets now when matches already underway -- seems like you're off to a good start 2-0 up after only 20 minutes. What odds did you get? I need some 2/1 spammers. Spammer, obviously. A guy who claims to have "monitored the progress of Ipswich Town" doesn't even see the team at the summit sitting on Ipswich's head? Yeah, try harder =p
It is not easy to find good members who post normal stuff and dont spam a lot. I would not like to be in position of campaign managers when they have to select and monitor members for their campaign. I wouldn't mind getting paid for it, but long-term mental health won't suit me I feel. Hard to say, I've moderated without pay on other platforms and it was hell, even if I loved the community otherwise. If only those mega campaign managers also notify user posts so they can see when they're called out for spamming, huh.

Hey, seriously cygan, thank you for the ping. I was so sure at the back of my head I'd submitted pick here ahead of all the other leagues even and realise now it must have been some weird ass fever dream -- entered everything in under 10 seconds, I love the format of kicktipp, tab button is your friend haha.
I went this time with 80% favourites (funny enough this time I was in full agreement with bookies)!

I'm not trading either of them away, btw, but just wanted to know what to expect in terms of playtime this GW. I appreciate all the input Nice you asked those questions, I have both Saka and Madds in my team, will likely bench rather than throw out as I expect a quick recovery. Funnily enough, Wilson's been on mine since day 1 and I keep thinking it's actually no longer necessary to throw him out. At this point though, I'm stuck for ideas. Triple Nunez vs Spurs or wait patiently for dgw? P.S. Nobody took DGW Burnley/Luton? Haha

Yesus, losing this bonus round like I don't know what I'm doing. notblox1 and cryptofrka also level with safe answers then Swiatek does WTA things;) Don't worry slackovic, in this increasingly PC world I would hope this forum remains as a last bastion of expression. Offense is never given, always taken. Remember that You know fashow I'm down when it comes these kind of competitions, and I don't think Buwaytress is the kind to back out either, maybe we could honor you with one big feet washing or last supper could be needed before you finally depart for your division 2 adventure.
I'm down for it!
Count me in, but help PM me when details are done. I won't back out, but I have a bog problem with management. One big honouring round, while taking money from Igehhh, love it. Haha.

And despite leaking goals, we're actually 2nd on "least chances conceded" behind Citeh, so I'm also okay there.
Conceding 5 goals in the league after 6 games is not exactly 'leaking goals'. Liverpool have conceded the second least amount of goals [5] just behind City with 3 and they have kept one clean sheet this season. I think what makes it look bad is that Liverpool have been going down first and needed to come back from behind in almost all the games they have played this season. It has a different feel when you are cruising to victory by 3 goals and the other team get a consolation goal and when you go down first. It is looking scary how good Liverpool's results have been and how much they have to improve to become better. They just might edge Arsenal and return as the main title contenders. - Jay - Fair enough. I guess I'm just talking in relative terms of high expectations. Like you said it's just jarring to always concede first. By that comparison, it feels like we're leaking, which spurs us into action. As you say, going up 3 goals and then allowing one is more like sailing, reaching the destination and then your hull cracks. For Liverpool, we start with the hole, and then bail the water out as we put our sails up.

Ordinarily I feel like I'd definitely do better in Pot B but only on a much larger sample of games. 10 rounds, might even be in loss. Tighter odds this time around. I'm going all in on Galata. Easy peasy.
You say what I think. Odds sdould be 10/1 though, this is United! I had to enter picks first, though, and with the absence of impulse, I put half of my bag on another away team

Borough leading in EFL trophy.... some glimmer in a suit season so far.
I am not impressed with them so far, but Bradford is much worse Look at Ipswich, another win in EFL Carabao Cup against Wolves! This guys are not joking this season, and I think they have serious financial backing to get back in Premier Legue next season. Yeah, that was the upset of the week -- though odds weren't actually great, so bookies either knew Ipswich were that good, or that Wolves were going to be that bad. Give me some solid 2/1+ odds, I'm going to pepper my weekend accas with Championship goodies Any notable star that followed them?
There is no need to ask me this question when you can just open flashscore website and see their full squad, if you are not that lazy to spend few moments on doing that. Spammer, obviously. A guy who claims to have "monitored the progress of Ipswich Town" doesn't even see the team at the summit sitting on Ipswich's head? Yeah, try harder =p I wonder how all these guys get hired for their campaigns, really.

Spurs and then Brighton, I prefer these tough games to come first, really, as they're a better gauge of how well your team is doing. Spurs currently getting goals at 3 times their expected rate while we're slightly underperforming on xG so I'm very happy there. And despite leaking goals, we're actually 2nd on "least chances conceded" behind Citeh, so I'm also okay there. Caveat is we haven't met a top side yet (Chelski don't count, do they?). I had Wolves on my ticket as well, but I also had Brentford and United. Seems like it could be 0 from 3 how that day has progressed so far. Thankfully, there is DOTA tournament going on and I will win that ticket and finish the day on positive 0.
Seems like quite a strange day in PL.
And funny enough, none of my EFL cup bets won -- City lost, but the odds weren't to my liking, there really isn't anything sure now except a live bet on Liverpool as soon as they concede. Did you see Jota's backheel goal @LFC_Bitcoin? We may only be the league's second top scoring team but our goals are pretty (if only those counted for something).

^ Slot variance is real. I didn't think to take a screenshot but my last $20 pop at the same slot (Wild Coyote paid me out over $40. So slightly over 100% profit on "outlay", and funny thing, 90% of it came on the very first spin, just row after row of hits raking in about $35 on just 50 cents value spin.
Still slightly short of my $80+ record haul some months back but nothing to sniff at for sure =)

Are you suffering because of BTTS?
I don't think I am suffering because of BSFL, my Premier league and Bundesliga pools are going OK and I expect great things from Fantasy pool. It is just these 2 that I have trouble with. I guess it is because I am captain and I have to give you guys head start. By the way, you will be playing in Div 4 in BSFL next season. Special division just for you for making me remember my position You have to pay 10 mBTC buy in and first place reward is 1 mBTC. Rest goes to me as emotional damage compensation You're suffering from post-BSFL stress for sure, I meant BTTS as that's your favourite market as I recall in Serie A and only 27 BTTS in the season so far (fewer than half?), thought that might contribute to your performance so far. Div 4 buy in sounds prestigious, where do I sign up? =D

Just summing up the last page of posts, we knew from last season hooliganism is rearing its head in Dutch football again -- some new rules in place I see being done here and there across Europe. Strange that Rotterdammers are usually to blame. Not to point fingers but I think they need to be harsher on clubs. Empty stadiums aren't enough, damage is done.
A lot of fans will suffer. Players too. But the problems seem to be worsening in the Randstads, absolute bans need to happen. Cause it starts like this. "Harmless" property damage and cheeky standoffs. It quickly progresses to threats, weapons, etc.
Back to the footie, Berghuis must be having nightmares =)

Just checked the form again and yes, it's protected from multiple outcome choices. Rules amended anyway for clarity =) Submissions for Matchday 2 are open! Please enter your picks for both events. Both event deadlines are kickoff, 16:45 UTC (forum time) on 3 October. Late match submissions won't be counted. Remember to fill in bitcointalk usernames exactly as it is =) In addition, Rollbit.com has introduced an exclusive UCL insurance offer for multibet/acca/parlay lovers. $50 (for members of this pool) back if your bet loses by one leg. I've asked for more details (I can predict the questions) but head on over to this thread (where eligible bets must be posted) to find out more: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5468233.0.

No no no, this is going to be a huge upset of this year if this ended up happening. Yeah Ten Hag is not using his best lineup for tonight but Im telling you this is not happening mate or atleast I hope it wont happen . I'll be monitoring this game tonight if United actually ended up losing this game, then Im going to be the first to congratulate you eventhough my hands will hurt because Im going to punch something LoL Edit : 3-0 on 70th minutes, phew glad that we are getting through this Yesterday was unlucky, Palace keeper got injured (Henderson Old Trafford curse) and United capitalised with 3 goals soon after. I'll try and look for value in the Blues again. Enjoy your next round progress =p Hey, no! We are here to get rich in betting one way or another, using the system or relying on our insight By the way, where are your bets against Chelsea? If I'm not mistaken, in one of the threads we discussed how betting against them can really help you get rich. If you are waiting for the odds against Chelsea to be the ones you like (closer to 10), then you shouldn’t wait - this team has fallen very much even in the eyes of the bookmakers. Yeah I've won a couple of Chelski bets but didn't think to feature them here. Sad, but that's the reality. I post something here when I really like it, and unfortunately, yes, normally when odds are really good to me. Today also a couple of good bets but no time to look and not so interesting for me to put up.
