I got 110 points too. Stephen Curry is wrecking the competition at the top haha. I reckon the top 5 contestants cemented their places already with 3 more rounds left to go.

There are only 2 more rounds to go and a postponed game which plays tonight. In theory there are 840 points in play so nothing is cemented yet in my opinion although the top five have higher chances ending the competition in the places they already are.

There's essentially 2 and a half rounds left as there's 6 rescheduled games that need to be played midweek. I think any of the top five could win it now. It could come down to the last round which always makes things more exciting. It's always boring to me when someone has won the Premier League with x amount of games to go.

Does anyone see different scores than this:



I swear this morning I was 20 points behind Steph now I'm only ten, but the table says it hasn't been updated yet.

Hoping ciccio forgot to put his Spurs vs Watford prediction in

[BitcoinSupremo]

Damn that Tottenham missed by one goal today, had it 3-0 correct score, anyway 10 points better than 0 so we are moving into the final stages, having 6 more games to be played in midweek is something I didn't know and I am happy we have some more games to predict before ending totally 2 weeks from now in 13 May.

I had 3-0 to Tottenham too. I think the winner will be between Steph & hilarious, I’m pretty certain of that tbh. 3rd - 5th could be any order. Nobody else will break into the top 5.

He won't have been the only one! I was sure I entered every game, but just checked and saw I forgot this one. Not that even 40 points would have made a difference, I ended the week with a miserable 10 points, can't even be bothered to check which game outcome I got right. Backed a lot of upsets and will continue to do the same, as it's the only hope I have for a sniff at #5. Counting on some teams to either "give up" or "take it easy". Seems like Liverpool are the only one in the top 4 to do that though haha. Oh well, some Rome fun tonight.

Well done to all!

I also backed them at 3-0 as I suspect a few others did. Probably Steph too. I think the top five will remain in the top five now but I actually think anyone in there could win it or it be completely shaken up as it stands now. Maybe someone will get some freak scores and shoot right to the top. Who has the most correct outcomes/points from a round so far? Highest I had was three but I think someone might have got four.

[BitcoinSupremo]

That is me, highest outcome correct scores, 5, highest score of a single round yet, 210 points. If I repeat it (which I highly doubt I will) in a week from the last two, things will change a lot but that can happen only in my dreams, last 2 weeks I have had a miserable performance overall.

The last two rounds and especially this one seem to have a lot of tricky games so even getting 100 points each round could take you to the top depending on other's results. I'm not confident this week and could be a potential wash out. West Brom vs Spurs could be an upset as they need to win for even a chance of staying up but don't know if I've got the balls to back them at such a stage. I'll see what the result of the Stoke Vs Palace game is at the early kick off because if Stoke win then I think West Brom are down. If Stoke Lose then West Brom will go for it but I still think they need Stoke Swansea and Southampton to lose or draw their games and a few of those teams are playing each other which makes it even harder for them.

I will give you a hint since I still think you and Steph are in a more favorable condition to win the betting pool than others. I was doing the same logic as yours above when backing up last 2 weeks which were a total disaster. DO NOT make the same error as I did as in the Premiership rarely games end as predicted and more especially now when the league is almost over.

[hilariousetc]

Haha but there's usually always one upset a week and that's often how you often get ahead of the pack. Most go for predictable results and lose but I think you have to take a few risks along the way to get to the top. Doing so now could be the difference between places though.

Bumping the thread to remind other participants to not forget about Man.Utd game tonight and also all other games for the weekend, these are the two last weeks of this awesome competition. I hope everyone else enjoyed this as much as I did.

^  I kinda regret giving up way too early in the season.  I'm gonna try hard on the next one...  

And I hope we could also have our own EPL fantasy league betting pool next season if enough players join up.  I haven't really played much of those with real money tbh.

Since you replied let me remind you our bet, Zidane is still at Real while the season is ending , get ready to pay me 0.001 BTC or in case of a late surprise I will pay you 0.001 BTC

[tokeweed]

^  Lol.  Yup...  It's a fun bet.  Be prepared to be shocked tho.  It really feels like Zidane is gonna take a sabbatical from football management, win or lose the CL.

I also have a couple of bets with buwaytress...  Looks like I'm gonna win both.

Lols toke. Send me your BTC address in PM and I'll send you your bets in latest by Monday. You've won both already! United will surely finish above Liverpool, and my CarlesPuyol seems to have given up in the past few weeks (don't worry I won't say it's unfair, your pick had an equal chance of giving up haha). We'll definitely go head to head again next season!

@LFC I was really hopeful of a 2nd place finish but then I'd take our 8th CL final any time had I been asked all those weeks ago.

[tokeweed]

^  United just lost.  Let's just wait until the season ends.  You never know, they might lose again and LFC might get lucky.

We agreed 100 USD for each bet right?

Stoke 1-2 C Palace

40 points for me, I’m coming for your 3rd place cicciobtc

[hilariousandco]

That late goal cost me 40 points and Stoke are now relegated.
