Was too long a Friday for me, friend, and by the time I finally managed to try and look at some betting options, realised majority of the games had already started (am I forgetful or is this unusual to start Friday games before offices are even closed? It's 3pm kickoff in the UK while 2 games were even completed..!
On the other hand, I'm definitely going to look at HT scores and see if I can't back a tasty comeback? Just not from Wigan or Huddersfield, though, relegation candidates don't fight back, against promotion candidates... right?

I thought Real Madrid is not a candidate for the CL title this season. Now I changed my mind.
As long as Benzema, and to a degree, Vinicius, are in that squad, and hell, even Modric, they will always be a CL candidate. It's just their playground. Learn this quickly heh. BigSlam, it's you and me. Cro2, request no more Liverpool questions, please haha. I'm just going to keep losing those questions, can't help it! Slissy vs Slackovic, is that the heavyweight tie or what?

Right, we're up again and I'm going to roll the dice on guys who haven't scored in a while... pretty sad for most of them as I rate them pretty well so that's Maddison and Antonio right out no question, while I'll stick to Havertz, Watkins, and Salah (boring, I know).
Toney and Kane are easy, right?
Is it dumb to ignore Newcastle finding their scoring boots?

Messi does seem to be doing all he can to help this happen, don't blame him, either.
I'm much more interested in pretending Monaco is silently making amends... think they just unravelled a bit of a surprise in Ben Seghir, looks so good with Taki now that Embolo's out. Minus his stepovers, though, heh.
It would be funny if the team whose players occupy all the top 10 places in the ranking of the highest paid players in the league did not become a champion. But unfortunately it's hard to believe, first of all, because there is no clear leader among the competitors and in the end they all interfere with each other in favor of PSG. Messi should always be blamed, he had two seasons to show at least 20% of what PR says about him, and if the first season could be explained "he left Barcelona for the first time," now no excuses work. Not as funny as Al-Nassr owning the number one highest-paid player in the world? Haha but no, you're right, but it does make me think of some American sports, where I believe it's actually pretty common to have best-paid players not be in title-winning teams (don't shoot me if I'm wrong). And yes, PSG should be lucky their rivals are taking points off each other...

Right so, Napoli, that's out of my system, hopefully out of theirs, really need them to be okay and back in the groove heh heh. Osimhen gets an injury update tomorrow but I'm kind of hoping they just sit him out again so he's well ready for next week's revenge meet.
Still, pretty pleased your team is also waking up at the right time, morvillz7z! I'm going to try bet live for the UCL clashes. On the team that goes behind first, if they do, in first half.

Seems to be a new feature on Bombay Blackjack for those of you keen to try. x1000 on Triple Treat (all cards match) on all 3 hands. Don't think I've ever seen it in real life, though a double hand match feels is common enough and pays out 100 I think. https://sportsbet.io/casino/play/table-games/bombay-blackjack![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FMCkWgNc%2Fimage.png&t=663&c=5t0tFWo5bU5_6Q) Form will dictate that Arsenal should batter us. Wouldn’t surprise me if we beat them though but then go and lose to Leeds 4-0.
I want Arsenal to win the league, it’s all in their hands so it’s up to them. Will probably cone down to the game at The Etihad.
Yeah, cue beating Bournemouth 9-0 and United 7-0 this season, while having the worst record in all departments in the Klopp era. Can't say we don't know how to entertain though... regrettable that such good memories must reside in a period of shittiness...

Sorry Barca but no clean sweep. Vini and Benzema show as usual, the latter on a hattrick now. As Teofo said, evening out things as expected.
Still half an hour to salvage a draw but two goals a bit too much to ask for now, huh.

Managers were given much more time in the Premier League in the past. In this season 12 managers have been sacked. I think the most important reason of this is that it is more difficult to show patience from now on by the extraordinary increase in the value of the Premier League in the recent years.
In the Premier League in which foreign capital is getting more dominant, the change in football culture can also be shown in addition to that.
Yeah, strange that these guys come in thinking of investment, and long-term, sustainable business practices etc. Then they panic and sell like degens. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F11%2F16%2FFMPaj.png&t=663&c=Glapmlsi2J1MxQ) Kinda wonder who this guy is, pretty catchy username Yeah, it's brilliant. Either a Leeds supporter, or USMNT follower, I'm actually pretty sure the identity was revealed much earlier on, just can't be bothered to dig now.

I have to hide this week for gambling on Salah. Ha ha ha. Can't even bear looking at the 3 Liverpool boys I inserted for DGW, Salah couldn't even get full points for his goal because he got carded. Such terrible choices I made. Gamble big, lose, go home.
Saka captaincy and didn't get much even with the big win. Just can't do anything right.
Consolation? I actually got the same points as average player this week. Worse news? That was actually me trying my best overthinking after Euro and giving up some penalties. Thanks Reds. Teach me a lesson, y'know.

I still see the only team that might be able to catch up with PSG and enter this title competition seriously as Marseille.
Because they are a bigger team than Lens and have a better squad also. This should make difference for them as long as they don't lose their concentration. Because their recent form hasn't been that much impressive. They lost 7 points in their last 5 matches in the league. They could have won against Montpellier and Strasbourg both if they played a little better. This would be enough to carry them right behind PSG. But considering that PSG are an unbalanced team I still give Marseille a chance to catch up for now.
Well, if any one of us believes PSG can still lose 2 more games, while drawing at least one (their GD means this needs to happen), while Lens/Marseille/Monaco get a perfect streak in these last 9 games, then well, might as well put good money on it. It would be the most spectacular stumble I'll have seen for a decade or so. Messi does seem to be doing all he can to help this happen, don't blame him, either. I'm much more interested in pretending Monaco is silently making amends... think they just unravelled a bit of a surprise in Ben Seghir, looks so good with Taki now that Embolo's out. Minus his stepovers, though, heh.

Great job darxiaomi and famososMuertos. Always nice to see forum peeps making it. For me, it's a really good thing I'm starting to trim down on my Liverpool bets. Their odds vs City and Chelsea didn't really help, but for once I'm listening to that tiny voice at the back of my head to ease off on chasing. Mainly because of Klopp's recent words I guess. He seems to be resigned... and that's good for me. Actually ended up with a good week, and only by picking 1 good winner, and making the happy mistake of forgetting I'd already placed a bet on the same game days earlier. In effect, doubling my profit. Another away game, another loss for Liverpool but not surprising. Apologies to Arsenal fans for offering nothing in help for their title challenge. Arsenal went ahead and beat Leeds comfortable any way though, 8 point lead at the top of the league intact. It’s going to be a thrilling title race which I am excited to see.
My words, right out of your mouth. I met up with an Arsenal fan on Monday and first thing I did was apologise, as I really want them to win this. He's still extremely worried, supercomputer says City still win, so would have loved to give them another 3-point cushion.

So the odds boost has happened. Most likely because bookies will feel Chelsea will play an actually good formation without Potter in charge, but that works for me and I do think this is finally a good value bet. Unfortunately, I can't wait for my price boost to recharge at Sportsbet.io but if you take it now you'll get 3.66. I'll take the less attractive one available on Fairlay. 200 units? 200 units at Fairlay on Liverpool to WIN vs Chelsea @3.36. Other odds: 3.66 Units advantage: 60 Running advantage after 46 bets: +4202 (-60) All-time cumulative: +87,282 Running units after 45 bets (8W|37L): +3028 (+682)

I'm wondering if Leicester will also get new-manager boost and win, but is it silly to think Nottingham Forest might get something out of crazy Leeds? Steady favourites at home despite only beating Saints and Bournemouth there in the last 7 months... Tomorrow we will face the Blues away, and I don't think I will bet on this match. We will see if Liverpool can achieve a victory against Chelsea, which itself has not achieved the desired results this season.
I'm dumb, so it's a natural yes for me to the question: will I bet on this match. Had stayed away all week because I felt odds weren't good enough. Chelsea will probably spring a proper lineup now they don't have Potter overthinking things...

So I managed to completely forget about F1 over the weekend, checked and I saw I had a relatively poor performance, thanks largely to all the DNFs... so much so even my old "fav" Tsunoda finally got AT their first point haha.
So loads of drama, and supposedly expected, I really need to read up on the next track to see if there will be similar predictions -- these always seem to take drivers out (LeClerc on Lap 1 being the most magnificent dud).

Duh.
We can apply it to a lot of things. I might say, for example, despite recent investigations and exposes in the news, gold trading is NOT money laundering. Used for decades and a known tool for money laundering, terrorism, WMD, etc. But we aren't going after people who trade gold specifically, are we? So just because there are powerful networks that clean dirty money through gold trading -- gold sourced from bloody mines in Africa, routed to Middle East, or to refineries in the US, where it can be freshly sold to the rest of the world, doesn't make gold trading money laundering.
Just because bad guy A used mixers to try and clean his ill-gotten gains doesn't make all mixer users bad guys.

^ Yeah, as poor as a lot of the English clubs have been this season, they have done pretty memorable games every now and then, and still probably deserve more time with their managers. But it's hard to really watch PSG and feel entertained. Since Emery, they've been dropping points and wins with every new coach, it's amazing.
Can't see anything really nice to put bets on yet, so we'll revisit this in a few days. Liverpool are about 3/1 tomorrow but I'll wait for odds to get juicier... otherwise I don't think it's value heh.
Will update units calculations then.

I mean anything can happen but those red sox teams had competitive teams. Their team just isn't that good. Over 162 game season they get exposed. Their pitching staff is mid and their lineup is meh. And they just lost Xander bogart. The AL East is too stacked this year. Yankees got a little better and Toronto and rays should be real good too. Sox and orioles will be fighting for basement rights. And as a yankees fan couldn't be more happy about it 😀
Well, they also had really good teams who didn't win it for decades, and not that I know very well, but I don't think the top favourite of each season I've looked at has won it. That means no Astros? Speaking of Yankees, I just saw an old rerun of Seinfeld where Constanza just got a job at the stadium. This was the era before Sox broke their curse. Bosox basement rights, indeed, getting spanked 9-10 to Orioles! @buwaytress : tried to bet by using your trick today, decided to go with favourites Houston Astros on my 1st one. Placed higher stake on this and will gradually lower the stake as I choose another option with higher odds. Probably will bet a total of around $100 or something on all these outright bets though
Yeah, fire and forget. If you lose it, it's forgotten by the end of season anyway. If you win it, nice bonus to end the season (that's how I always see these outrights!).

I've always knew you're just a blatant spammer, that supports Liverpool. I do hope you're enjoying the game man, there's nothing more suiting than knowing, I'm going to get a win over you in the question about the match, more so with Liverpool on the losing end after a supposedly great goal to take the lead ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Haha fairplay Harko, I think even objectively, I notice I probably talk Liverpool a bit too much on forum, even when it's not football or England, I have to find a way to bring them into the conversation. Believe me, I have backspaced and edited posts more over the years heh heh So with Rodgers and Potter out, this season has made a new record: most managers fired in a single season. Klopp even said he knows everyone is asking why he's still here, "last man standing" he admits. I agree @LFC_Bitcoin Hendo is past his years but he/Milner are giving way more on the pitch then say, Fabinho, who seems to be giving up running. Even Gakpo was doing more midfield work than Fab when we were chasing back. Also, I still think we're suffering from last season having no break and wringing our players dry. That's not defending how bad they've been, just I think the club didn't act smart to replenish the team with fresh legs etc. El Shitico is the most accurate assessment of tomorrow's game. Problem is, no more Potter and Rodgers and Conte to help people forget how bad Liverpool is.
