I thought hey, Leicester, hey Rodgers, maybe they wake up, Maddison a couple of goals, etc. Didn't even check lineup to see if he was playing. Re Spurs, a bit crazy the hate Son's been getting from his own fans... fickle people. Happy to see him get one.



Thanks! And I finally... finally... get up to 52nd place haha. Yellow Cap saves my season!


Yup, Spurs gave me one more game needed for the slam point, which yatty had earlier from United.

Oh no he's in my team, has been since the Triple card played I was like Trofo, wondering to switch him in for Fernandes but my bank account said nope.

So 2 guessing weeks for me, and 2 not-so-bad returns. Even Robbo is pretty good for me. I'll keep him in, maybe bring back... Nunez haha.


I'm going to take another penalty week for sure, need to clear out team, luckily only Rashford out, and I can sweep another couple more maybe under the rug.

Which reminds me, RIP BATMs in Europe? At least, where I live. When I first arrived in 2016/17 they were quite easily found, even within walking distance from me. Then they made a big fuss when they installed one at the major airport (I never got to see it, when I tried, it'd been taken away).

Then I think just as the onset of Covid came, and AMLD5, they took them all away. Store owners I spoke to said they were coming back soon, with identification features (at one point you could sell thousands of euros a day without KYC). I haven't seen any for two, maybe three years... not that I've looked them up. Just the familiar haunts have not seen them come back.

Damn, guys. I must have missed 3 editions already, not that it matters, I don't think I'd have picked enough to win anything. So, hopefully that means I've purged the bad luck.

Salah, Nunez, Gakpo, all coming up to speed perhaps?

My next picks are unimaginative, despite injury worries for one or two of them. Mitrovic, Salah, Haaland, JWP, Antonio, Saka, Watkins.

Cool questions indeed... well done guys! there look so deceptively simple yet are as tricky as ever. I'll probably put my picks in later or tomorrow (hopefully no more free dumb answers as in Round 1 haha).

I didn't expect to see a "goal difference" so that makes it look pretty special, heh heh. As I've said before, I don't think there's any advantage/disadvantage in making answers visible, but... glad it's not fixed.

MAAManda is active in other threads, I actually remember seeing a post from Bundesliga or Ligue 1 so I pinged him a DM. Naughty!

Several hundred more blocks to #777777 so put in your picks if you haven't already guys! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5438244.20

I also added a new rule in the event of a tie (2 guys get closest by 1). We just go for the next block and take those results Thanks jayce for pointing that out.

Actually now you mentioned it, I took early bets on Liverpool before their last 2 wins... and thought it was pretty decent odds at around 2.31. Now we've strung together two solid wins, we're getting injured players back and getting fit... odds are actually slightly higher. I know Real also had a good two wins, both late, so I guess that neutralised any good thoughts about Liverpool.

Porto for sure can be the upset of the week -- City will probably get 5-0.

My only tip now bullrun2020bro... Liverpool or Real Madrid value ML. Neither will see a draw as good enough. My bias says Liverpool loves a late season surge. And there are half a team that have a million things to prove. This is when we start winning. Got to make the most out of value odds while they are there.

I'd definitely have put up some money on Arsenal specials, just wasn't home in time to take them. Also gone for an away win, but only because odds were 5/1, and Maddison is back. How wrong I was hahaha.

Rashford's the key to beating United. Usually don't like pinning things down on one guy but have watched several Utd games already and they really are winning games on his goals alone.

GL to all you guys who took NBA specials. Should be a pretty game to watch.

Well I hope all you guys are right as I'm hoping for at least 1 clean sheet in the Atletico game, so I win my first round against LTU_btc (who went for a BTTS pick). So far so good... #nojinx!

Elche red card already, hope that doesn't take your luck away, slam!

Sevilla shat the bed, shame if we're surprised.

My money's all spread out already and surprisingly still alive (I even forgot I put Real on one of my tickets last night) so I'm just going to ride Sunday out till the end without extra stress.

I was wondering this season how difficult it was in the Big 4 leagues to fin 10/1 and above anymore. But to be fair, Gladbach after their first couple of wins in this tie have not enjoyed high odds anymore now that bookies understand this is Bayern's bogey team. But this season in Bundesliga I actually can't find many memories of 10/1 and up (at least, because I didn't bet).

BVB is an easy choice agreed. They should get some wind also from their UCL minor upset (yes it's an upset I don't care about Chelski form!). But you know me... anything less than 15/10 is a hard swallow, unless it's a pad on an acca. Hope you took the bet. HT and already 2 goals in the good.

Holy crap I didn't even realise it. Did some rough calculations and saw I was on 8.5 points after last night's win. I'm like cls63, thinking it's a shame we didn't get 3-0 (that was my pick for 2 games in a row and we missed by a goal in both situations).

United spoiled my party, but gave yatty89 all they needed (who's this again?) so hopefully my faith in Spurs is rewarded later.


Didn't watch 2nd half but they were still threatening in first -- 2 attempts on the post, not to mention some great Alisson defending. But a win's a win and we did cause Pope to panic, he went SO high up to defend twice, got unlucky on the second.

Bye, bye, Eindhoven. I know you weren't meant to be, but you were supposed to prove us wrong for a little while more. Took the lead, couldn't hold on. And you can't say Utrecht didn't deserve a share of the spoils, either.

P.S. Branthwaite been in the news all the day today, and seems he is already opening up channels with Dyche at Everton. Decided to celebrate with a yellow card.

Whoops, I knew I forgot something when scrolling on that first page haha. I normally even have recently visited pages but on mobile it's impossible to see the URLs properly.

I think cryptofrka is one of those pragmatic supporters. They know how bad the team is, where as I simply can't bring myself to ever bet against my team. It's a really bad disease.

Only match left of interest to me is Atletico. It's the only answer my BSFL opponent has differently and will decide the winner of this round.

A) Yes
B)  Under
C)  No
Tiebreaker: 319

Ya I made a big mistake with Haaland too -- and as usual forgot to look at my picks properly (I already selected the team early, best call was to take out Newcastle players just before the hammering they got to their defence).

Pope was actually my go to keeper early part, and for a time considered putting back in but of course GK's my least urgent part of the team that needs fixing.

Rashford. What to say?

What about if you're 14/16? Would one say I should just give up and find something else to do with my free time? At this point, should I be taking upsets all the time now (so we don't end up like today all not gaining any points because of Lecce)?

Or at least putting in strange scores?

I mean, I'm only doing better because most likely the 2 guys below me aren't even putting picks anymore =D

Neymar assist and goal, Mbappe on the scoresheet, damn you Lille, couldn't you just make this league stretch on for a bit? Second half still to come but the game looks done and dusted for now. Fonseca should have kept his mouth shut about this being the best in the world heh heh.

Not really trusting any of the other teams but I've got Monaco, Marseille and Nantes on my next tickets, let's see if they can do their part today.

Yeah, I'm cool with everything else except the altcoin hashtags. Not that I'm uncool with it, either, it just rubs off the wrong way. Bitcoin clones, Litecoin, even Ethereum might be worth mentioning if related to, in the book itself, but xrparmy especially made me cringe.

Still, credit where it's due. Books aren't... simple tasks to complete. Best of luck.

Not sure what to make of it as I watched first half, missed whole of second half except last few minutes, enough to see Milner make two super tackles and Jota almost heading to Bobby to goal... 2-0, so fast, could have been another day at office if Nunez/Gakpo missed those, but Pope sending himself off sort of guaranteed either side would not get a goal.

If Newcastle end this season on a high, let it be reminded it was only us who did the double on them haha.


I tuned in on the last 10 minutes of that, enough to see Chris Wood tap in. 1 shot, 1 goal, it was a familiar story for us... saw that Pep got a card, can't find out how yet, should be funny.

That... is so Dyche. He did use to joke with press a bit, didn't he?

That is good news, I might put them in on a ticket after tonight in this case -- I'm hoping they stay in, but also that they do something more permanent to make sure they stay up and put in a better showing next season. What that fix exactly is I can't say.

Good day for me on my 3 main tickets that isn't an acca... I'd have put another against Real today but Osasuna is not even 5/1 to win. I thought odds might change but a couple of hours to the game and it's refusing to budge. Atrocious!

Oh and yeah, Sociedad let me down, Villareal looks about to do the same.
