Stayed up to watch the fights. Pretty good card overall. Masvidal did decent but Usman was the better fighter. Glad Masvidal didn't give any excuses post-match but taking the fight on such short notice should be considered. I'd really like to see him fight McGregor at some point if he ever comes back. It seems so does Dana: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/12095198/conor-mcgregor-jorge-masvidal-fight-ufc/I think that would be the biggest UFC even ever, unless he fights Khabib again but I think a McGregor Masvidal fight would be a better match up. Max Holloway clearly won his fight. No idea what the judges were doing but pretty much everyone seemed to think he had it. Jose Aldo fight should have been stopped much earlier. No idea what the ref was doing. It seemed like Aldo was just waiting for the ref to step in and stop the beating. Namajunas deserved the decision, though the fight was pretty close. Paige VanZant isn't very good and I think she's only there for eye candy really, sadly. Will be interesting to see if she goes for another contract. She's not a great fighter but I'm sure she still brings in some eyeballs. Maybe she should stick to promoting shit on Instagram if that's where the money is for her. |

What the hell happened to Leicester? 1-0 up until the 67th minute and on aim to get me a correct score then they ended up losing 4-1. Anyone going for anything other than a home win on tonight's game? United have been playing pretty well recently and should win but Southampton have had some good results as well including beating Man City. I watched Tottenham vs Arsenal game, they killed my interest in football today. I'm not sure what their tactics are (for both teams). I hope none of them will qualify to European cups in next season, it will only embarrass Premier League. because of them, I missed an obviously good match between Bournemouth and Leicester. I think, Leicester going out of top 5 for sure. They can't play without Madison and Soyuncu against Wolves and Man Utd.
There are only few teams play seriously with desire to win(Man Utd, Sheffield, Wolves). All other from the middle of the table play just to finish this season, like Everton, Newcastle, Crystal Palace... Really hope, West Ham, Watford can stay in PL.
They don't deserve to qualify for Europe and doubt they will. Hopefully Wilves or Sheffield will instead. Regardless you moved up there places to sixth behind me. It's going to be real hard to hold on to the top 5 spots as it's so close. |

Question. Can we change picks for remaining games after first game started?
You can change them right up until kick off as long as you don't lock them. Gone for 3-0 on the Liverpool game. 1-0 now. I'm not watching it but looks like they're off to a sluggish start. Sheffield United is in a pretty good shape. Chelsea is quite efficient on the away matches, on the previous duels, they have both been quite effective as well
I think that both could score and I'm giving and advantage to Chelsea - 1:2 is my pick
I think it will be close. Anything could happen. Will probably back the draw though. I'll probably watch this one. |

^ I think it's going under 4.5. IMHO. I already made the bet. And here's the cage by the beach. Are they really gonna be fighting there??  The main card is gonna start at 22:00 EST, so that's 6:00 in the morning Abu Dhabi time? Looks like it's gonna be around sunrise and main event at around 8:00. Lol. No, though I wish it was. It would have made it so much better being on the beach. It's just for practising in.The main card is at bout 3-5AM UK time. Shame it wasn't on in the evening Abu Dhabi time but I guess they've done it early there for the US audience. I'll probably just go to bed early and set an alarm for the main card fights which should all be pretty decent. |

I don't think playing one leg is much different. It might make the games more intense if anything as you know you've only got one shot. There's no real need to play two legs in a neutral venue really.
What's annoying though is that they've seemingly arranged all the games to kick off at the same time. What's the point in that? There's four games kicking off at the same time on the 12th. Now we've gotta choose which game. They should have played them all on different days to maximise viewing.

Originally had 0-0 for the Spurs game last night but changed it last minute to 0-1 to Spurs thinking they should be able to get a goal. Would have been mad at changing it but I also changed the Everton game from 1-0 to 1-1 and that came in so ended up with the same amount of points in the end regardless of the change. Retook the fifth spot again but it's so close between places 2- to mid table really. Anything can happen. Can't afford any slips ups or the top 5 will be shaken up drastically but I think Tokeweed is safe in the number one spot. Another great win for Man Utd, they are definitely going to make a CL spot (assuming City are defo banned). Elsewhere Aston Villa are in deep trouble.
They'll find out on Monday whether the ban stays or not. |

Exciting matches it was yesterday, and hope today is even more exciting
Today's matches
Bournemouth vs Tottenham
Bournemouth is at home to Tottenham, Tottenham who are fresh of a win against Everton would be heading for all three points against Bournemouth whose defence was embarrassed by in form Manchester united.
I predict a win for Tottenham Hotspur
Next match
Everton vs Southampton
The Toffees will be hosting the saints to goodison park, Everton lost to Tottenham Hotspur while Southampton won Manchester city in the respective last matches, but today I think it will matter little, my prediction is about goals. Over2.5 and both team scores
Next match
Aston Villa vs Manchester united
The relegation battling team goes locks horn with in form and UEFA champions league chasing Manchester united who has inform players like bruno fernandes, greenwood, martial and co, I give Aston Villa a little chance in getting anything out of this match.
My prediction a win for Manchester united
Those are fair picks, and I'm bit surprised knowing the odds for Tottenham to win is @1.7 and Man United to win @1.3. By making a parlay of them, the odds becomes @2.2 which I think it's a very safe and great pick imo. I won't miss this chance lol. I wouldn't go with any of these personally. I think the Spurs game could be close. Tempted to go for the draw, but Spurs should win but I don't have that much faith in them right now. I think the Everton/Southampton game will also be close. Southampton have had some good results recently but I'm not sure how long that will continue. Both teams to score maybe but I could see a stalemate. Could also see 0-0 though to be honest. Man United should win but Villa are desperate for points so who knows what would happen. I'd probably back a narrow United win though. |

Edit: Still.. Sucks with Burns out and Khabib's dad. You guys think Khabib's really gonna retire?
I don't see why he should retire because of that. If anything he should continue on and do him proud. Khabib doesn't really seem to be all about the money though whereas before his father has said things somewhat contradictory in the media such as that if the money was right he will fight Connor again etc. Khabib doesn't seem to have been active on social media since it happened though so hopefully he will continue on and fight Gaethje on UFC 253. Didn't realise that the Fight Island was going to be so early in the morning over there. They're roughly on the same time zone as the UK normally so the fights are on at a reasonable time but I guess they're doing it so early for the US audiences which sucks for the Europeans. Would have liked to have watched the card live but I might just catch it in the morning now. I'll see if any other fighters drop out as it wouldn't surprise me if someone else tests positive for Covid especially when Masvidal's coach did which could end up with him being out if he tests positive at some point. Also looks like Mike Perry has been caught doing a McGregor and taken to OAP boxing: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8505009/Horrifying-moment-UFC-fighter-Mike-Perry-caught-video-punching-elderly-man.html |

Didn't do great yesterday but was close on the draw with the Sheffield Wolves game but then they went and scored in injury time. Sheffield are only one point behind Wolves now. Both could still get that Europa spot but I think Man U will likely hold onto it or maybe Leicester will drop some points and get overtaken. No real exciting matches tonight.
Watched some of the Sheffield United match last night - it was a draw all the way - Wolves must be gutted ! I like Wolves and want them to do well. Nice to see Sheffield doing great though also. Pretty crazy since they were in the Championship last year. It's rare that teams move up from there and do well. Look at Norwich. They won the league and now they're rock bottom and are almost certainly going straight back down. Can’t work Leicester out - they seem to be all over the place, there’s no consistency at all - just like my picks  A draw against Arsenal was good for Leicester. Anyone fancy Bournemouth for a surprise tonight ?
Not for me, though I don't know whether to go for a draw or Spurs win. |

Agree with panjul07 as right now if someone can predict just four of five exact results in single round then surely he can score some good points and have good chance of winning consolation prize as right now going in top five is very difficult but no impossible.
4 or 5 is very hard to do though and is usually rare. I'm not sure how many I got with my highest score as it doesn't seem to say for some reason. All I can see is the results, close scores and slam points. It's not all about exact scores either as you can tally points up easily just by getting right results with close scores. Didn't do great yesterday but was close on the draw with the Sheffield Wolves game but then they went and scored in injury time. Sheffield are only one point behind Wolves now. Both could still get that Europa spot but I think Man U will likely hold onto it or maybe Leicester will drop some points and get overtaken. No real exciting matches tonight. |

Well, good that I've bet the handicap (0) on Arsenal yesterday, it ended 1:1, and the red card was more than deserved
Today we have 4 matches going on, just made my pics
Manchester City is very convinced playing at home lately, Newcastle plays pretty well and efficiently after the break, I see a lot of goals here, and my pool pick is 3:0
Maybe I will play an Over 2.5 scored goals by City, not sure at the moment
After the restart of the season, Sheffield United haven't seen the net empty, they are receiving goals every match, Wolverhampton can score easily on away games
And in the first duel of this season, both teams scored a goal
My pool pick is 1:2, and a possible bet will be Both teams to score
West Ham has played two good matches in a row, Burnley plays a little bit weaker away games and they seems to be without the right motive as a team
My pool pick is 2:0 and I will bet on West Ham to win this match
Brighton is not playing well at home lately, Liverpool is simply great this season
The seven mutual duels belonged to Liverpool, I'm going with a 0:2 on the pool and will avoid this pair on the bookies
Yesterday I got 1 result and 1 close, not bad :-)
Today is a new chance to grab some more points
I think all the games will be close except for the City game. Should win 2 or 3 nil I reckon but they're coming off a shock loss to Southampton so it might not be the goalfest people are expecting. I wouldn't back Wolves away to Sheffield. I can see both teams scoring though. West Ham and Burnley anything could happen so I'll probably go for a draw. Liverpool should win but I'm thinking not by much, especially after the lucky win against Villa last week. 0-0 up until 70 minutes. If Liverpool had something to play for I'd be more confident that they could win by a few but I think this will be another close one but still a narrow win for them. Brighton need points though to make sure they stay well out of the relegation zone so that's the only thing that's making me think they might have something to play for here so them getting a point or even three wouldn't surprise me though I don't think they'll be getting the full three points. |

Liverpool ML at 1.60 odds!  a bit high, and they're facing a team from the bottom half, but considering Pool haven't won an away game in months, i kinda understand why such odds. I'll wait until the starting 11's are confirmed before pulling the trigger, those odds look like free money, but if Klopp decides to rotate the squad then i might change my mind City Liverpool Burnley to win 6.33/1
careful with Burnley, they're sitting comfortably in the mid table while West Ham are still not safe from relegation and will be more motivated to get the 3 points today. Yeah, I wouldn't back this. City should win easily, but I think the Burnley game could be a draw and have gone for that on my predictor. Definitely wouldn't back them to win away. I don't think Liverpool are a dead cert to win either. It was looking pretty dicey for the first 70 minutes of the Villa game until they scored and that was at home. I still think Liverpool will win but maybe only by a goal and I certainly wouldn't put money on it. Maybe draw no bet just in case. Skybet have a price boost for City Liverpool and Burnley to win at 8/1 if you're going to put it on. Burnley to draw instead is 7/1 and West ham to win is 9/2. nothing to interesting today in Premier league, but City and Liverpool could score many goals, and i will play both over 3.5 on my ticket, would add West ham on another one, since they could clear their status today with a win, and they will probably do it
Are you sure about Liverpool? They only managed two at home to Villa and was a stalemate for most of the game. I think this game could be much closer. Liverpool don't really have much to play for and Brighton aren't safe from relegation yet (though I think they'll be ok) but they'll still be clamouring for points wherever they can get them. |

i doubt his physical condition to last 5 rounds during pandemic and lock down as there is no gym and he was not having any fights to prepare
Here is the proof why Jorge Masvidal don't have enough stamina for 5 round fight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDrk0lbJtmAIt will a true pain for him cutting all that junk food if he wants to stay in his weight division, or put out with (which is harder) salary reduction. Haha. Doesn't matter what you eat if you get the job done. Masvidal doesn't seem like an unfit or unhealthy dude to me. I'm glad he stepped up for this fight and got a deal done. I didn't think it would happen. I can't really say who is my personal favourite to win this fight. Bookies have Masvidal as the underdog but I think it will be a lot closer. Not sure I'd put money on him but there's a lot of value there. Hopefully whatever is going on with McGregor can get sorted to as I don't want to see him fully retired (not that I believe it anyway). |

But what do you mean by this one possibly their last fight? There is a better Fury-Joshua on the line or possibly Wilder-Joshua depending on the result.
It will be the last fight between them if Fury wins. If he loses though there will almost certainly be another rematch in Fury's contract. Personally I don't really care what happens as long as it's a good fight, though I'd like to see Fury get the job done and move on to Joshua (assuming he retains his belts). Rushing out a vaccine would probably do more harm than good. A vaccine probably won't even be needed for most people, especially the young and healthy. Most people only get mild symptoms anyway and it has a very low mortality rate.
I agree with you on this point that vaccines must not only make antibodies against the virus but they also need to be tested to not cause any adverse effects when used, and they must also exist in the muscle. the human body for a long time. Finding something to prevent disease is easy, but creating it so that it exists in humans for a long time is difficult. They probably won't even need a vaccine. It seems to affect very little people in the grand scheme of things and most people get it with minimal symptoms so herd immunity will probably suffice. I'm not sure if the fight will go ahead though if they can't fill a venue with people. |

I done some work for this and have this data if there is any mistake then please point out thanks

Didn't realise I was first. Anyone can still win a spot on there though though it's probably a lot harder to do with these unpredictable games. Still something to play for though. I noticed tokeweed and a couple of others missed their picks last night. Can't be slipping out like that when you're at the top. I guess me picking a win for Arsenal was asking too much of them  but 1.5 each from other matches wasn't a bad one, especially a win from watford... Let's see how it all goes tomorrow. It was close, but I can't trust Arsenal right now hence why I went for the draw and luckily Vardy came in late to get me the correct score. Vital goal for him as well as he's still going for the golden boot and Aubameyang got the first one who is right behind him on the top goalscorers table. |

5 rounds to go ! Looks like tokeweed is absolutely smashing it !
Yeah, I'd be surprised if he doesn't keep hold of his 1st place position. All the others are still to play for though. I got a vital three points last night on the Spurs game tot ake me back into 5th place. It's going to be really hard to keep hold of it though. Places 2-5 could be grabbed by a lot of people though, even some of the mid tablers if they do well and hope everyone else does shit. @hilarious - any chance we could get a look at our leaderboard and results so far, ie, who’s in for a prize so far etc?
For us players heading for mid table mediocrity , it would be nice to still have something to play for.
Sorry , this might prove to be a bit of work as I’m not sure how you’ve recorded it ?
You can go through them round by round and it gives you the weekly leader-board by round: https://www.superbru.com/premierleague_predictor/pool.php?p=12098541&tab=rounds#tab=roundsNot sure if anyone has made it onto it since I last posted it. Maybe examplens with 19.5 points but I can't find the table I posted cos search is shit on here and isn't bringing anything up. I know I was on there somewhere. I'll go through it later and double check. Next time I'll just keep it updated week by week in the op so it's easy to find. |

So, nobody don't have faith in Arsenal anymore? Just one player in our pool backed their win against Wolves. Arsenal is so bad this season, but it's still a bit strange because their opponents isn't City or Liverpool today. Score is 0:0 in the end of first half. If nothing will change in next few round, it means that both North London teams will be without UEFA competitions next season.
You can't trust them given their form right now. I had a draw down and only one person backed them to win. No idea what just happened to City. I don't understand how they can go from destroying Liverpool to losing to Southampton. To be fair though Southampton's defence was excellent. They were throwing bodies in front of everything. Ederson needs to stay on his line though as he gave away that goal. |

PayPal getting involved in BTC at this point seems pretty unlikely given the KYC requirements. While they no doubt do know their customers, the difference between PayPal and, say, Coinbase in the KYC requirements seems huge. (I haven't had to register for either in quite some time so perhaps that has changed).
How huge was the difference during the time when you have registered? Also, how many users does Paypal presently have that has done KYC already? i have a verified paypal account from years ago that i occasionally still use. i don't believe i've ever given them my SSN, address, scan of driver's license or selfie---which have become standard KYC on licensed/regulated platforms like coinbase and square cash app. if the rumors are true, i bet they'll operate it as a segregated service where people who buy/sell crypto will be subjected to a higher level of KYC. They don't ask for a selfie. You can use Paypal without giving much info if you only spend a little. They have some limits that once you go over them they require you to submit some sort of ID and confirm your address and I think they lock your funds until they do. It's kinda weird how they don't require that info straight away as PayPal is a scammers paradise and anyone can open an account in minutes without any checks yet to deal with a bitcoin-based service you have to jump through numerous hoops. Paypal....LULZ I don't even trust them with my cash so there's no way I'm gonna trust them with my crypto. When a money grabbing organisation like paypal gets involved with Bitcoin you know it's just another money grab. Who on earth is gonna trust a wallet run by paypal? Besides, Bitcoin doesn't need paypal, it is a replacement for paypal & far safer.
Regardless of whether you like them or not it still would be huge... but I don't believe this rumour until I see some evidence. People have been saying the same thing for the past five years and nothing has happened so far. Maybe they will start dealing with cryto at some point but until I hear it from them I won't get excited. |

I wasn't expecting Masvidal to volunteer as a replacement fighter. It would have been a good chance to leverage his position to get a higher pay if Dana and UFC would want to keep that title match for the very first event on fight island. Jorge Masvidal was supposed to fight Kamaru Usman in this fight card but it was not scheduled because of payment issues and this is a great opportunity for Gamebred to get the money he is looking for by taking a short replacement fight but i doubt Usman will be willing to take him on a short notice. I'd like him to step up to take the fight but I really doubt Dana is going to step back and give him what he wants. He probably needs to stand firm. Otherwise it will just have a knock-on effect and many more fighters will just go on a protest asking for more money. Hopefully they can come to some compromise as this would be a huge fight for Masvidal and I can't see him fighting any time soon. With a belt on the line he should just take it, do his thing and perform well and maybe even win then he will be in a better position to get the big bucks for the big buck fights. Without a belt this is less likely to happen. |

I’m just making my pics on the pool and looking at the stats, Leicester has won a hime game against Crystal Palace back in the 2016.
I am giving an advance to Leicester today, my pick is 2:1
Another interesting match, a run for the 5th place is Wolves-Arsenal, I’m going with the same prediction above, 2:1
Leicester should win comfortably. So should United. Norwich City - Brighton & Hove Albion is a boring one that I'll probably go for a draw on. Anything can happen in the Wolverhampton - Arsenal match and it's hard to call. I'll probably go for a draw on that one since I can't split them. Chelsea should beat Watford but I kinda hope they don't as that could send them into the relegation zone. Not sure I'll watch any of the games today. Maybe Leicester City - Crystal Palace if I'm bored. |
