Hey Stake people. Bet on your own girlfriend today Watford. United absolute favourites as they should be in every game anyway, Elanga the guy saving their asses, but Hornets got their own Denis to count on.

As long as he scores first for the Hornets, or in the first 15 minutes, we are all golden, right?

Waiting to see if Sarr also makes the lineup, but my money is in. Easy!

I don't trade but I do sell regularly in an almost predictable, not very flexible timeframe, and I can tell you, that chart you got there is what I would say is very, very optimistic.

Accurate at a while before the start of a rally en route to an ATH but holding past a cycle looks way, way bloodier than that. Long flatflines and heart-in-your-mouth drops, everyone dropping like flies, the rest of crypto on life support as the doom prophets crawl out of the woodworks.

It is fun.

Yeah, even with this unexpected rally (and again, thanks to stock markets I would say), I ain't expecting to upgrade my personal view of where we gonna be at this year. Happy to wait til 2025 haha. Halving is the one true factor that has not failed markets, and the pricing in will only begin next year at earliest.

Stack them well, gentlemen.

Man, Nadal! I cannot believe it's now twice I opted for someone else as my tourney winner, ignoring Nadal as the outsider. Now he's gotten over the most difficult opponent (a bit easier this time around even though it should have been harder!) and is set for another win.

Worse, it's twice in a row I go for Tsitsi and he falls at the same hurdle.


Think it's Medvedev's regardless of what happens in the final, have to admit I don't know how the rankings exactly work (not a super tennis person) but the news said something in that manner as soon as Djoko lost.

But this Norrie guy though, why haven't I really paid any attention to him haha. Hands up I didn't even hear much of him until very recently and he's not even very young.

Surprised (or not really) to see a high number of exact scores. I'd actually thought I had it at 3-1 -- watched the game and thought at least the late goal would give me an extra half point. Seeing back-to-back exact scores from Gooners and Saints warms my heart.


Absolutely brother. And I hope it starts tonight with Everton. Go at them, they are the slowest team in Champions League in terms of transition, and that also affects them coming back to defend counters. I celebrated Spurs last week, will for sure celebrate Everton haha.

We are right back, and April clash is coming up nicely.

Oh, and they also don't have Matip. I'm not a huge fan of his gangly forays up but hey if it gets a goal every few games, go for it man.

casper, Trofo, this is extremely off topic but I was at dinner talking about places to consider to go take the family now that this year finally seems "normal" and I was trying to lobby for Croatia haha.

Anyway, disappointment for all of us with Milan. They drop points, everyone else saves them and drop points, but surely they can't expect Inter to do it AGAIN?

Serious doubt about this. In the president's own Tweet announcing this first-ever double digit GDP growth, he's crediting exports and talking about THAT pet hospital. The minister quoted by the source actually provides no evidence to support her statement. On the contrary she says:



So they're still paying in foreign currency, not Bitcoin.

I have yet to see or hear of a tourist going there specifically because they can spend Bitcoin (surely these guys would be posting all over the forum if not Twitter etc).

Are we also now going to blame Bitcoin if energy use there increases? Next we'll be crediting "Bitcoin adoption" for lower infant mortality and other HDIs, once we run out of economic indicators.

Correlation not causation.

@Welsh yeah Pukki's been having some peculiar revival of form -- never in doubt when playing for his national team, but always seems to get stuck after promotion from Championship. But like Arsenal, I'm really hoping Southampton are carried by form.

Also missed your comment on Liverpool earlier about not giving up home until the maths says it's not possible -- I've been asking and looking for treble and quadruple specials for months, and tried being cheeky putting up markets on p2p when we were 12 points trailing, no takers haha.

Like you, I've also held that City aren't actually that great. Teams just seem to play against them with a resistance mentality, but go for their throats like Spurs and Palace did, as we've always done, and they're vulnerable, they're panicky, they give away fouls and make mistakes. Problem is, half of the job's done for them before the match even starts as (most) teams set up for damage control against them. I'm hoping and counting on Everton to smack them down tonight. Richarlison can be a handful, hope he turns it on tonight.

Yes, yes, well done to Barca, and this is the nail in the coffin for Napoli's season, but guys, try pay attention to the thread. This is for Conference haha


Roma has qualified yes, but I was referencing their 6-1 thrashing by Bodoe/Glimt actually, their most shameful defeat in Europe, to a nobody team from nowhere (pun there hahaha).

So I meant that Roma now can sit together with Celtic and relive their nightmares of losing to huge underdogs. I bet you one of the Championship teams will want to buy the Bodoe/Glimt strikers.

Wolves are almost always above 2/1 so they feel like the perfect martingale team of EPL! But phew. I thought Arsenal's from was hard to ignore in the end, but this was a mixture of pure luck... Pepe had a good game today and then a boring old 2-1 brings me luck, though to be fair, Arsenal probably deserved the win, just the manner it came will break Wolves hearts -- they're not used to doing so well so probably thought they should lose a few more games to remind their fans of what they are...

Only just realised now this was a mammoth round, so a lot of us got 2 slam points -- just falling short of one correct outcome for 3 slam points. We can all blame Spurs for that.

I am winnar! Thanks Trofo man =)

Sevilla - Betis
1. Match line - Home
2. Both to score - No
3. Number of yellow cards in the game - 4-5

Lazio - Napoli
1. Match line - Home
2. Both to score - No
3. Number of yellow cards in the game - 4-5


Tie breaker: 47' minute

@ morvillz7z yeah, to think I used to have Celtic (and Rangers) on my tickets every time in Europe. I gave Rangers up as soon as Gerrard left, it was always clear they were running on fumes fanned by him... but Celtic seem to be more intent on wresting away the Scotting Championship away from their Old Firm foes... And so, Bodoe/Glimt wasn't a flash in the pan after all. Least Roma can have Celtic in the same miserable company, how the mighty Europa candidates have fallen.

Anyone thinking it's time to pay attention to Wolves? Or are we backing Arsenal to continue their strange run of good form?


Yeah, so big I even would have still got 1 point if I upgraded 3-0 to 4-0 haha. Just my luck, but finally the goal difference is something I'm much more comfortably with. Didn't watch this regrettably, wonder now if I should keep not watching if it makes them play like this. Also slightly surprised he kept them on -- I know Mane and Salah just have stubborn heads and want to play on and on, but I suspect he was trying to see if either could smack a hattrick (and maybe get them en route to golden boot).

Yeah, also 3 in a row for me, but all this after 3 fairly quick hits so absolutely no complaints for me.

My only rant is United failed to provide a back to back BJ, and in both matches collecting the final point in the finalinute of play.

Elanga did not have to ruin it for us, tsk!

Oh and Liverpool, as a coincidence, have not provided a win since beating United... What a weird pull.

Yeah, I absolutely get the emotions. I'm probably kind of the same, but you don't take it out on someone else. I thought Kyrgios was pretty bad and no one comes close to the kind of abuse he gave (and no, I think Medvedev's outbursts in AO were more funny than scary) and he got his suspension proper. I'll be real surprised if Zverev escapes some kind of suspension too.

Didn't know about the ex-gf thing, sometimes I wish I didn't know about these things...

Ended up being able to see this game as well bits of the first half, was away from home but saw a tv for about 20 mins on a tiny screen haha. Definitely looked good for me seeing them 1-0 up and playing the way they did, not being brilliant but keeping United absolutely quiet.

I got screwed by both Ajax AND Atleti, but as you and others pointed out, Spaniards weren't to be relied upon either.

Nice wins, Harko. BTTS was too low for me to include in my acca below, and I thought I was squeezing value out of Atleti ML but you know, I suck.

I've to be completely honest and say I'm not really following any of the news, especially since it's been conflicting from different sources of late, but hadn't the invasion several times already been dated, also by the same president?

Anyway, less a direct impact I think of that, than of the stock markets in general. Somewhat denting claims that Bitcoin isn't any longer correlated to that.

Just my luck. Have to head out for some minor thing but am not going to be home soon, so not even going to be able to watch Leeds game tonight, was looking forward to it all day after a long week! Was just telling my kid I don't missing UCL if it's Liverpool but looks like won't even be catching that. We need a big win to keep the pressure on Citeh (and who knows, a favour from the dark Blues).

GL everyone, enjoy it all. Don't bet what I would.

Can't trust Juve and I still ML'd them, but they're arguably up against another team worthy of distrust (United). I might wait for a betbuilder superboost on Atletico win, over 1.5 cards each (UCL is very lenient but I'm hoping it gets nasty) if it's over 6/1 on that.


Yeah, that was painfully true watching it myself. Though to be fair, the team already looked so different when Ronaldo was in it, they just need to keep the good core and assess their decisions over the past 3/4 years (well, to me, Ronaldo was the biggest decision they should really reflect on to never repeat).

Atletico and Ajax for me as well, Dutch should get through without too many problems but can't ignore 25/10 for KO specialist Simeone.
