Just wanted to come here and say thanks for holding out the great promotion for Arsenal vs Crystal Palace. Won with my prediction and received my freebet. Also was a bit surprised with a small free bet to celebrate the Indian's historic Test win at Gabba. Thanks a lot Sportsbet


Me with free bets right now:

Haha really. India did well to break the record at Gabba that they were proud of. India beating Australia at their home is really something. Also India were without their key players but still they managed to defeat them. After all the controversies- i.e sledging, australian fans abusing, and so , young players did well to keep aside all the frustrations and shut their mouth right at their home.

Gives off wonderful feelings to fans... Love it

Was just curious about this- There was lot of questions asked about Pujara's slow batting style. What do you think about it? I've seen people praising such styles a bit when it is a tight situation and that playing style comes in handy if we are trying to get out of losing situation, but do you think the reaction could go opposite if it goes other way if a target seems pretty much achievable but somehow it goes towards draw? What do you guys feel as a cricket fan.

The reason why I am backing Starc is that he has delivered a lot of times when Australia needed him. Right now he is not consistent or giving of performance as expected but everyone come through that face. With Starc I feel it is not that bad. Plus another reason is that there isn't a proper name that pops out when we talk about replacement of Starc for whatever period.

He is a good bowler and helps his side a lot in ODI and Test matches. Yeah he is struggling in later test matches in this series but I think he got off with decent start , I mean taking wickets in first two Tests. I think Australian team is still gonna trust him since he is the spearhead on whom his team relies on usually. He is the one often leading the pace. And I still think Langer will still be trusting him in next matches. I would have agreed with you if the bowler wasn't delivering a good line and length and wasn't taking wickets for quite some matches (not 1-2  matches is what I mean since it is Test)

And btw he is quite a batsman as well. He recently in Sheffield Shield was so close to century until his captain declared the side. .

It was lovely innings from Gill. He is so young and facing against those deliveries is really crazy. I am sure by the end of the day, lot of cricket players and fans will be heaping praises.



Yeah... It is really close.. it could end either way. Lot of tactics putting into places to get those wickets could change this situation quickly. It is getting interesting in this last stage.

Last stage, Last test and crucial match...what are the chances of that.. huh Border-Gavaskar series is as amazing as Ashes isn't it :p (I know Ashes is just way better but still this series and young guns blazing for Indians has really packed some high quality entertainment for us.)

Ugh!! And he is out... It was working so well. I mean Pujara and Gill. Still we have Pant and Agarwal but right now Rahane is come onto crease after Gill's dismissal. I think it still could work for India. India need 196 in 50 overs so that's almost 4 rq. run rate and pretty much achievable... isn't it? Just one need to play with a bit of pace just like Gill was doing.

I still recall India win was @8x odds on SB which I also took in my Multi and one of the legs has already lost.

Well I was quite unsure about this match but Arsenal played really well. Aubameyang back on scoreboard (back on form?) is a good news for Arsenal. He and Laca are the ones who are the usual scorers and with him without goals was really worrying. Still I would say it was Newcastle defense who gave lot of chances and space for Arsenal to find their players and create chances.

I would like to see Gunner against some good defensive side. We have Southampton coming up next after FA Cup fixture which would be something I would say real test for Arsenal.

Great game from Arsenal today. Very happy to see Aubameyang getting his goals and Smith Rowe and Saka linkup is so pleasing to eyes. Wonderful performance but I would say they are still working on their attacking. Newcastle defense wasn't a real test for Arteta's side. We have next match against Southampton and I can say that Saints defense is very good so next game is gonna be a real test for gunners.

Anyway what matters in the end is 3 points and Arsenal back on 10th. 

Yeah means that something is going around with the player, there are lot of reasons why a player isn't in squad but when transfer rumours are around then it does indicate that something is going around with the player and negotiations are being going on. However it seems like it is done deal according to : https://twitter.com/433/status/1351221138819592193

Still yet to come with the official announcement from team social handles.

Good one Turquintino to get your first win in MM. Some of us have got our win after 1 year win or still hunting for it but you got it earlier than all of us. Good one.

I had a tough second day again but glad that it was one of us to get the part of MM prize again.

Just saw the news and that's great news for Ac Milan fans and as for Mandzukic fans. I am not quite fan of Mandzukic but watching him without club for sometime was making me feel sorry for him. Glad he is back into Serie A and in a good club but I wonder what place is gonna hold- along with Zlatan or bench? or maybe something that I am missing. Whatever it is , it certainly has made the Serie A interesting.

I think table has gone better than how it was couple of weeks ago but still there aren't much points difference if we see between the teams. they hardly can shift 2-3 positions above or below at best but still it is a tough race going on. Regarding Arsenal, I would say its too early to think that they are on winning momentum. Last one was draw and they were doing great in matches before to that but they need better tactics to outsmart the PL teams now. It is crucial time now for Arteta and his team as they need to work on something fast as we already have come to almost the first half of the season.

Great, started slow but glad that they are punishing for the 2-0 defeat Hornets faced in Huddersfield home game just some 2-3 weeks ago. I still recall I had Watford win in MM round but Huddersfield messed up. It was the same game after which Hornets previous manager was sacked and they appointed Xisco as manager the next day.

Leicester have tendency to drop in a match where they are quite favourite to win the match. With the way Southampton have been playing, I would say its worth taking the shot for Southampton to come as winner. There are some crucial players missing like Ings, Vestergaard in this fixture for Saints but IMO every player in Saints is quite something. Will go in for Saints today.

I was actually thinking this fixture was scheduled to start tomorrow but glad that your post made me check it before time.

Wasn't surprised since England has better squad than Sri Lanka. Still 135 is very low, quite some performance from Dom Bess and Broad in first innings. Winning is out of option for Sri Lanka, they still have chance to draw (very small chance). They started the second innings well with both the opening batsman giving them quite a score. Still Thirimanne is on crease which is a good sign for Sri Lanka, I think startegy for the fourth day should be to play it slow and push the match towards draw. It would be quite some task for the middle order though.

Very good move from AC Milan. I love the way they are planning things. They have good squad and they are trying to fill the squad with some young talents. They in previous transfer window got JP Hauge who is a great young player though he isn't getting much time as he did in Bodo/Glimt but still I  think he will be a regular in starting lineup soon.

^^ Glad that I didn't went for Wolves there. West Brom have been struggling very badly with their defence but their attack recovered just in time. Also it feels like Wolves will continue to struggle until there is someone good in attack. Adam Traore was so good last season but he still has yet to shine this season. While on other hand Jimenez is still to start after recovering from the horrible injury.

Still it wasn't bad from Wolves anyway but yeah they lost the 3 points which does matter.

That was really horrible and sloppy defending from Roma. I was expecting a better game from Roma but Lazio were the on playing the game and giving Roma troubles right from the start. Lot of drama, cards but it was Lazio who took the 3 points.

I didn't had any much idea about these two Serie A sides but what morvillz7z actually came out to be true. GG @morvillz7z

I feel Roma should be the one getting away with 3 points but seems like Lazio is also not playing that bad lately. Although I have taken Roma ML in MM entries so I hope Roma do win this one. I would however actually will stay away from ML lines and rather go for O/U goals market or maybe BTTS. Out of all market, I am thinking of dropping BTTS-Yes for this one since both teams have quite good attackers and its derby so I am expecting action from both sides.

I think it is best to handle with 14 remaining games we have as there could be problem if fixtures are changed at this point. They can add a new fixture and cancel the entries but I am sure there would be many who would argue with such decision being taken. It should be handled as it is IMO.
