I disagree with you. Conceding no goals since Conte's switch to the 3 4 3 formation is not 'luck'. He's definitely making a good use of all the squad's quality like the management and handling of Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses. Under Mourinho they weren't even considered to start. Again, having said that, the game against City will be the real test for them as Pep also uses the 3 4 3 and knows how to counter it.
I retract my statement that the Spurs might put Chelsea's 3 4 3 to the test due to them dropping disappointingly out of the CL. The mood of the team could be greatly affected badly.
I felt the Conte's formation is quite risky by using 3 defenders in Premier League because many coaches didnt get good result by using that before like Pep, LvG, and Koeman even Conte puts Azpiliqueta as one of those 3 defenders. But it goes amazing and Chelsea play well so far. That's because the 3 4 3 is trying to overwhelm the midfield and puts all the pressure high at their opponents' side of the pitch. So it forces their opponents to turtle up and defend. I mentioned that the real test will be vs Man City. Pep is also very attacking minded so let's so how Conte's 3 4 3 fares vs them. About Tottenham, seems they are not on top performance in both Premier League and UCL. Even tho Tottenham is only the team that never loses any single matche in Premier League so far, they just got 1 win and 4 draw in their last 5 matches. Who knows that Chelsea could be the team that break Tottenham's unbeatable record.
That could happen. And the Spurs coming home disappointed from the CL ending game will affect their performances badly for sure. This could be the start of Tottenham squad's mental deterioration. Most of their players are young and it could be psychologically tough for them being out of the CL early again.

For this weekend, I think Westbrom's high confidence after winning 4 - 0 from their last match could give them the edge vs Hull even if they're playing away. That's because Hull is looking like they have accepted the fact that they are indeed going down at the end of this season. My bet Westbrom to win +0 at 1.81.
For my second bet, it's Watford to win 0, -0.5 at 2.10 vs Stoke with them playing at home. No explanation needed except that I think Watford is in better form than Stoke lately.

Why not open this campaign for application to have a 150 max limit if the campaigners improve their posts or already has good posts. This will achieve two things. 1) It will improve the overall quality of this campaign. 2) It will make this campaign more recognized for giving more quality posts in the forum. Tbh, the Fortune Jack campaign has some of the worst posters. That's really bad considering they are among the highest paid and are giving low quality posts in this forum.

The final race of the Formula 1 season is upon us. Although I personally think the championship is in the bag for Rosberg, a part of me is still hoping to witness one of the greatest comebacks in motorsport. I would be willing to bet .01 BTC for 10 to 1 odds on Hamilton to win the championship. Any takers?

After a wonderful game from Virgil Van Dijk when Southampton draw against Liverpool, Now Liverpool planned to sign him in January. But with he still have a long contract in southampton, Van Dijk will have an expensive price tag.
*Another Southampton player will jpin to Liverpool
He'll be a good signing for sure. I won't be surprised if the other top teams in the EPL are looking to sign him as well. Both the Manchester clubs are in dire need of a good quality center back right now. But more United than City. It may also make the most sense for Mourinho to acquire him and partner him with Blind since they might have a good Dutch dynamic going on at the back.

Finally Real Madrid score a second goal for my bet on over 2.5 goals and I just need Lyon to hold on for a win and I win my parlay bet. 12 goals were scored in the Dortmund match, that would of been an entertaining match to watch. Looks like most of us have won tonight.
i don't know if it was dortmund defense really bad have to conceded 4 goals , or legia warszawa indeed in good form can afford to fight against dortmund and scored those 4 goals just like when they hold real madrid 3-3. but yes 12 goals in single champions league match very rare happened , it must be entertaned everybody to watch a lot of goals scored. Mistakes were surely committed defensively by Dortmund but they made it up plus more for scoring 8 goals. Thomas Tuchel has to look into this because clearly something's wrong. Their form in the Bundesliga isn't so good as where they should be, considering the quality of their squad. Maybe it's the inexperience of the manager, he's still young after all.

The next two games will put Conte's 3 4 3 to a test. We haven't seen Chelsea play with a top team in the EPL since the switch. There was Everton and Man United but their form is far from what Liverpool or City is enjoying. Chelsea could edge out Tottenham at home. But I doubt it'll be an easy game for them vs Man City away.
3-4-3 strategy is actually a very famous stategy in serie A however this is not serie A and I could totally say that they were just lucky and playing against a coach that know how to break this kind of strategy will means that this will be a total disaster for them especially against a team that has great winger I disagree with you.

He's definitely making a good use of all the squad's quality like the management and handling of Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses. Under Mourinho they weren't even considered to start.

It's CL week again but I usually don't bet on them as I don't really know what's going on with the other domestic leagues and tend to stick with the EPL. But this week I found a bet thanks to a newbie for putting it in my attention by posting about it in the CL/Europa League thread.
My bet for this week's matches is Monaco to win +0 at 1.83 vs Tottenham. The Spurs have a good squad but they haven't been playing as well as expected lately, they are also playing Monaco away so that's another minus for them in this match. With those odds at +0, it's a bet I'm willing to make.
Yes I know they won vs Westham last weekend, but I'm still not convinced about their form if it's getting better or not. Maybe it is, but we'll see...
Hmm that could indeed be a nice pick. The odds are great and Monaco is in good performance at the moment. Definitely worth a try I think.I will give it a shot!Thanks man! Will follow and check your thread regularly by the way.Good luck! Please feel free to post your picks here as well. I need more experience in sports betting, so sharing your thought process on each of your bets would be appreciated. And like bitcoinmaster44 said, my picks are indeed poor. But I'm trying. Thanks.

Lol if it's Man City acquiring Messi. City will be the most hated club in Europe for that and I could imagine all the news in the press coming out of how City is a 'money club', etc, etc. I would prefer him not to transfer. But I will be open to it only if Ronaldo transfers back to Man United. Yeah Ronaldo will go back to Man United when he is 40 yo. Prepare yourself, tokeweed Yeah and hopefully Ibra is still there for a 4 4 2 with the old timers up front. Messi should move to another league to prove us that he can play well in every team. His rival, Ronaldo, can get champions league trophy and ballon d'or in two different teams, even won Euro Cup.
Actually if that were to happen then there's no most likely club except Manchester City. The people behind the success of Pep and Messi at Barca are already running City as CEO and Sporting Director respectively.

Does anyone know what's going on with AS Monaco? I made a bet for them to win +0 at 1.83. Now I'm looking at the line and it's now at 2.004 at Nitrogen. Why are the sharps putting money on the Spurs? I may have made a bad bet again.

Yeah. That's the smartest way to go about it. It doesn't break the trend right away after the dump after the first spike giving the whales to slowly sell their coins to clueless, willing bagholders. The last dump were probably the bagholders finally realizing what's really going on and then proceeded to panic sell their holdings really quick.
so with your assessment its a dump coming from the bag holders and whales who really got the price while its still cheap and now they are dumping it to make more panic and to cash out their earnings? just asking because i love when you make assessment its cool to chase the price and it will turned to profitable if placing an entry in the right timing. To simplify this is what usually happens in pump and dumps. The whales and the insiders buy low and then they pump the coin selling high to the would be bagholders. The whales and insiders leave and the bagholders realize that the coin isn't getting much higher anymore. Some of the bagholders get lucky by selling first making them a small profit or making them break even. But most of the bagholders sell at a loss. While some stay in denial and don't sell, making them the real ultimate bagholders.

Did anyone read that? I read in one FC Barcelona news website that if Messi will calcel contract with Barcelona, than one football club is offering 100 Million for Messi. Name of that club isn't shown but I think Messi will be in barca of course, this was that team which helped Messi when he was boy. Also "Mirror" says that Man.City is going to pay 238 Million Euro in Messi and they believe that Guardiola will help them in Messi's transfer.
Lol if it's Man City acquiring Messi. City will be the most hated club in Europe for that and I could imagine all the news in the press coming out of how City is a 'money club', etc, etc. I would prefer him not to transfer. But I will be open to it only if Ronaldo transfers back to Man United.

I'd like to get your feelings on the match Celtic-Barcelona. Since Messi won't be playing, will they still manage to win, considering their draw against the poor team of Malaga, at home ?
Although without Messi Barcelona would win despite playing away as usual this is not the first time Barcelona against Celtic based on the history of the game Barcelona always win Neymar and Suarez can replace the role of Messi there Give me a line high enough and I will bet for Celtic. They are known to be notoriously loud on their home ground and Celtic tend to play and perform better vs big clubs. The weather, the travel and the fact that Messi will not be playing are the major factors that would affect this game negatively for Barca. A bet I would like to make for this game is under 3 goals @ 2.19. Barca's players 'hang over' from the international break probably's still there.

I followed the Minnesota Timberwolves bet as well. They looked good in the first three quarters but got owned on the fourth. They had the Celtics by 12 points at one point and seemed to have had the game in control only to fall on the last quarter.
I think the Wolves got tired at the fourth.

I wasn't particularly impressed with both Mousasi and Hall in this fight. My first impression when it all ended was that Hall took the fall for money. That was honestly my initial reaction when the referee stopped the fight and declared Mousasi the winner. Hall just gave up so easily and too quickly.

It's funny how mods transferred this thread to the altcoin section. I can imagine some people who are supporting Bitcoin Unlimited getting really butthurt with this. Maybe it's time for it's followers to converge at forum.bitcoin.com. That's Ver's forum and I'm pretty sure you guys will find like minded people. I go there from time to time and the traffic is decent.
