Bitcointalk English Premier League pool betting Discussion Thread

Tough, tough game this. Top 3 are pulling away, I’m drifting further away in 6th place.

I am falling behind too. The reason is I am focusing a lot more on my Premium tips thread which I just made 12th victory in a row tonight and my confidence is at the sky but I will be back here too trying to climb up, there is enough time for that.

@ajaxmoor, finally making a solid >100 round, looking to reclaim your #1 spot?

I hope to stand going forward. I haven't been researching any games much due to it being almost an year long   and missed a week of predictions.

Guys, to get to the end of the season in the top 5, everyone should be very regular and "remember" each week to make the predictions.
I do not think any player will take advantage of so many points on the opponents and everything will be decided in May!

[buwaytress]

Phew, there wasn't any Friday night game so I was in time to put in predictions for this week. I wish they'd open predictions as soon as games are over for the week though, I haven't been remembering to login on Monday for my next week's games. Good luck everyone! Fingers crossed for my eventual 3-0 Liverpool win!

[hilariousetc]

They're open pretty fast.

Kane is out injured for the opening game against Man U. I was going to go with a 1-1 draw but might change it to 2-1 now.

Tottenham is a good team even without Kane.
In this match I placed a 1-1 draw.
Good luck to us the match is starting soon

[hilariousetc]

Yeah, but not good enough to beat or draw with United at Old Trafford. Glad I got the 10 points at least but was worried they might get a late equaliser. Can't afford to be giving you guys above me 40 points haha.

[BitcoinSupremo]

I only hit Liverpool correct result today and Crystal Palace took away from me another 40 points from that late equalizer. 60 points so far for me, a bit better than last week, still weak compared to other players here.

[buwaytress]

Ah, Week 10 and Liverpool give me the full 40 points from this match, probably the only time this season I'll be glad Salah didn't convert his penalty! Zaha stole 40 points with his 6th minute injury strike, so that really took the shine off my week but at 100 points so far, I'll be satisfied to get a score above my weekly average. In fact, would gladly have given away my 10 points from the Man City game for West Brom to equalise, but that's the way EPL rolls!

If I can just get 40 points from the remaining games, I'll be really happy!

With 3 games left i'll be happy getting 30 max. 40 or more would be a bonus.

Slightly terrible day for me only hit 3 correct outcome should be 4 before the last minute goal on Crystal Palace took place to get the equalizer and crushed my prediction. I hope chelsea delivers the win on the second half so I could at least end the day with 40.

How are you guys doing for this round?

[marlboroza]

Yeeeeaaaayyyy finally Arsenal back to 4 ! Full time Result Arsenal 2 - 1 Swansea City .  Sead Kolasinac and aaron ramsey scored goal for arsenal . ramsey scored again and who will die?   now arsenal only 1 point behind Tottenham Hotspur

Who are you?

Can't complain, arsenal gave me 40 points and I have 80 points overall.
I am hoping for one more correct result tomorrow.

[hilariousetc]

I didn't get any correct scores this week but I did well for six correct outcomes. I have both of today's games down as draws. I think they'll be close.

rickbig41 has had another good week with 110 points taking him up to 700. He was pretty far down the table a couple of weeks ago so it's proof you can bounce up with a couple of good weeks.

[tokeweed]

I think I'm gonna start copying Lawro's predictions on BBC.  Lol.  The guys in the top 3 are too good, and they maintain a consistent run of points every week.

Where's Here4Trades?  I wonder if our side bet is still up...

I usually make my predictions on my own first based on intuition then check numerous other 'tipsters' including Lawro and Merson etc, plus a few other sources. If they have roughly same results I may change them but I usually tend to stick to my guns. I think part of the fun is making them yourself.

Lawro only has 790 points as well. I'm doing better than him currently  :

I was thinking of joining in with Kane a couple of weeks ago. He's currently in the lead by one but is out injured: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/top-scorers

even for me no exact result up to this point. excellent results for Rickbig and Buwaytress who with 110 points are climbing the standing.
StephenCurry and Ajaxmoor with 70 points are among the best even this week.

Sure!  Let's get Here4Trades back and maybe we could escrow the bets somewhere or you could do it if it's alright with you.  A bet doesn't feel like one until I've parted with my money.  

I'll pm Here4Trades now and ask him what's up.

Edit:  If he's out, just you and me then?  Kun vs Kane? 

[hilariousetc]

I'll probably do it if there's three. Not worth the risk for me otherwise as I don't think he'll end up top scorer this year and Aguero will take it. I can escrow it.

[CarlesPuyol]

Just catched correct score 1-1 between Southempton and Brighton. 90 points in this week so far.

Aguero's probably going to take it, Lukaku will find it hard to score many times in Mourinho's system and Kane is a bit brittle for an attacker. I'd have taken this side bet early season but am afraid ain't ballsy enough to back anyone outside of these guys!

I got this one too! I thought Rooney had a goal in him at a 2-1 Leicester win, but I can't win them all, I guess. 160 points are way more than I expected and there's still a game tomorrow for a chance to get my highest weekly ever.

Places 3-6 all unchanged, really tight up there!

Damn.  Still no reply from Here4Trades.  This would have been a really fun side bet.

Does anybody else wanna join in so we could get the bet under way?  Here are the top scorers for the EPL so far: 

http://www.soccerstats.com/scorers.asp?league=england

I got Aguero and hilariousandco got Kane.  Take your pick and join!  There are a couple more players who could be top scorer imo.

Hilarious, let's agree that the only qualified participants would be the ones who joined the betting pool.  That alright with you?
