Game 1:  37, 28'
Game 2:  37, 26'
Game 3:  37, 35'

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?

Units advantage: 60

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...


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.

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!


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!).

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.

Close round and I got my GD back to 0, I probably need to reassess how I answer Liverpool questions, always seems to be my Kryptonite, scored 0 points last round and somehow managed to win this one with only 3...

... but I actually think Igelsea are worse so I'll stick to Salah and co for the cup. Also, Gladbach have been so bad compared to seasons past (except when they meet Bayern of course) but they also get my backing.

That's the tip for my opponent... or is it? Wink nudge. GL to the new guys!

How can I forget how bad Inter are? Oh, yeah, when odds against them aren't big enough.

Need to remember to pick against them every now and then for Superbru though! Quite a few of us did well so far with the week's round? And Roma looks on their way... Gini Wijnaldum back from the dead.


Yeah they'll be happy and will probably go far in UCL but Scudetto is what they want. Easy Napoli legs on my ticket all day any day, as long as odds make it above 15/10.

And the food is as good as they say in the South too... I gorged myself on seafood daily a few years back, fresh as can be, at extremely good prices!

You said what was on my mind man. We were set up and prepared for Haaland, we forgot that Alvarez actually plays as a "normal" guy. I'm hurting today still, but not enough to put Lyon up for our next upset?

100 units at Sportsbet on Lyon to WIN vs PSG @7.82. Other odds: 7.20
Units advantage: 62

Stop putting underdog bets Slam. Or follow mine =p Real and Barca haven't gone to my selections for a while, but only because they're really that good. Nothing really special to look at for now, either, though I'll have a look-see next round on odds above 10/1.

Benzema hattrick, what a guy.

No, but I looked at some plays, and that was pretty damned amazing, both went for outrageous shots (I don't know if that's the right term in tennis). That's an advertisement for whomever said a couple of days ago tennis is boring

The final is a good time though, perfect end to a Sunday of bad football results for me...


Seeing the latest "confirmed" and weirdly enough, Sabitzer is in. We have the same for everything, though, so it's just Dalot/AWB we're sweating on eh? GL man!

^ Yeah same, started well with Salah and Mitoma on the scoresheet but Jesus returned and Saka didn't score, not even Zaha or Wood could do it in a game with many goals. So getting Almiron and DCL won't help me.

My best record was 5 and 6 back when freebets were given out in BTC. I turned them into lovely wins during Champions League, long accas with plenty of Liverpool (en route to final). Those are good memories =)

Good thing we drew on the Bayern/BVB match, Harko, so we both lost out on that, meaning we both get to fight another day. Beautiful prank from Liverpool, shame on Chelski trying to steal the headlines from us


I see only you got green for the last question, assuming that's just pending the final, but yeah, well done on you for backing Sinner, think he changed racquet to beat Alcaraz's -- though in his interview, he admitted changing tactics, just didn't explain what that change was!

Result means Djoko's back in No. 1!

Sigh. Can't believe I'm disappointed twice today. And the second time, with BVB, even so by half time. It's the problem of the underdog. You need to settle things early, but you can be brash about it, and end up on the losing end quickly, as happened today.

Tuchel has his first win, but it was supposed to be harder than this...

Right. That was not really what I was saying. Global economic pressure and stock market correlation sort of proves more and more that Bitcoin markets (and by proxy, crypto) can, in fact, be impacted.

All I was saying is the headline is not necessarily bad news for crypto users in general. I always say, what doesn't kill Bitcoin only makes it stronger...

Yeah 16 games. Chance to take all Slam points but I went for broke and predicted plenty of upsets, just only the first one not going too well. Had Salah made the pass properly to Jota minutes before we conceded, could have been a different half but we are living dangerously.

Re Liverpool partnership, yeah I think they mulled the possibility at one point but that's probably different now with values and direction and all that. I do sort of miss Carlsberg for some reason heh heh.

Only one I ever worn is stuff I bought at Anfield but it has become so threadbare it is just a black tee now.

BTTS was the surest thing today and it hit before 30 mins. COYR!

Israel, haha.

Anyway, Premier League is back, and it's a game I can't afford to miss, so am actually otw home now on the road.

I completely forgot to put this bet down, Liverpool is away but City is as shaky, if not shakier, than Liverpool, and I know Pep doesn't have the best record against a side that has been known to bully them. This makes the odds high value for me, really! So let's double the bet size for this

If we do well, BVB is up next!

200 units at Fairlay on Liverpool to WIN vs City @5.96. Other odds: 5.2
Units advantage: 76


Wow, what a loss. Can't process it now, but why not add another double-unit bet on BVB?

200 units at Fairlay on BVB to WIN vs Bayern @5.99. Other odds: 6.20 (I saw this earlier, but too late to take it, I'll consider another bookie must have it).
Units advantage: -21

Hands up here, I can't really find anything that interests me in particular for this match day.

Burnley aren't even 15/10 so that automatically makes them poor value for me... but Sunderland 76/10? Now that almost tickles my fancy if not for knowing how good Burnley will be at home!

Blades/Canaries could be the pick to watch, if EPL's Arsenal - Leeds (which plays at the same time) doesn't interest you! Sheffield have that awesome game coming up against City, Norwich blanked us but international breaks are resets...
