As expected a lot of people did very good this week. I marginally keep my lead but still pretty close at the top:

CarlesPuyol and ajaxmoor on zero points. What happened there? Forget to play?

Most probably they quit from this betting pool as I see ajaxmoor it is quite some weeks that he is not playing and CarlesPuyol started to follow this trend in the latest weeks. Well  maybe Carles may have forget to play because he only forgets ocassionally so he should be back in the tournament in these last weeks. If he still gets 0 point during this upcoming week, I consider it as a give up from the betting pool.

Wow Bitcoin Supremo - 210 points that’s amazing. Congrats, very impressive. Maybe somebody else can confirm but that’s the best score I’ve seen this season.

It is as far as I recall. Think the highest I've gotten was 170. Next season I'll do a smaller consolation prize for the highest score in a round during the season. At least those who have little to no chance of winning the top five prizes still have something to play for.

Yeah I think so. Up until now I was holding the 200 points mark which was also the best score of the season so far, I just beat it with a 10 points but I am glad with my performance this week after three disastrous weeks for me. I earned 2 positions, and got to the podium for the moment.

Just going to do my predictions now - Can one or more of you bastards in the top 4 have a really bad week or forget to play or some shit

I guess I am done with the bad weeks, had 3 consecutive ones so I am hoping for another positive and I doubt I will forget to play the games of Saturday . Usually I put my predictions Thursday night or Friday night at best

@rickbig41 April Fools indeed. I got smack downed for 10 points only yesterday. P.S. Beatles fan?

OT:
I like beatles songs,(Something, Michelle, ticket to ride, and many more and of course John lennon's Come together)... But most of the time I am into blues, rock and anything harder than that...

BTT, next year I'll give more time to this game...

[tokeweed]

buwaytress...  I think we have two side bets.  One was who was gonna finish higher in the betting pool between LFC_Bitcoin (me) and CarlesPuyol (you).  But I think I forgot the other one... 

Is it who finishes higher at the end of the season between Man United (me) and Liverpool (you)?

And with BitcoinSupremo is the Zidane leaves on his own decision bet.

Please reply if I got everything right.

I am replying for my part of the side bet ,for me is everything right, our side bet continues. And by the way do not forget to put your predictions on, as a few persons , different ones every week end up with 0 points and that is not fair.

That's correct! Each for $10 worth of Bitcoin. I think you'll win both, and I already had coins set aside for you but seems I will have to top them up if Bitcoin doesn't recover soon! We'll probably know who'll finish 2nd after today's derbies. I'm expecting United to actually win (but prediction is a City win heh) but Liverpool seem to be content for 4th place. We'll see.

Good luck to everyone today! 8 lovely matches. I'm throwing caution to the win yet again.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

1 correct score
2 correct results

That’s me so far today - 60 points (before Man City vs Man United kicks off)

Crystal Palace conceded a late equaliser otherwise I’d have got 100 points

Only 2 correct results and also another one if Man.City wins, 30 points and missed a lot of correct scores by one goal today. The people who bet on draws are the happy ones today.

[hilariousetc]

Same. Can't believe Manchester United Came from 2-0 behind at the Etihad to beat City. They could have sealed the League with a win today I believe (though it's not like they're going to throw it away haha).I bet there will have been a couple that backed United but probably not at that score.

The people who bet on draws are the happy ones today.

Well I had lots of draws down but only two came in and not with the correct scores haha. Got Spurs this week. I reckon most people will have a had a sub par round this week thought there's always surprises.

[Wendigo]

I missed 6 exact scores by 1 goal yesterday  I had City - United 2-2. Well my experiment of using the exact same scores every week throughout the season seems to be shaping up as a complete fail so there's that 

[hilariousetc]

As expected most people had a subpar/average week:

1    hilarious   60   2870
2   StephenCurry333   40   2820
3   Cicciobtc   50   2740
4   Supremo1   20   2730
5   LFC_Bitcoin   60   2670
6   marlboroza   40   2560
7   hahay   50   2480
8   CarlesPuyol   0   2470
9   Wendigo   40   2420
10   BetAdviser   90   2390
11   buwaytress   40   2350
12   G-spot   10   2280
13   rickbig41   10   2160
14   unyil   30   2020

Only 14 users scored points of the 23 though most of the other have probably given up now haha. BetAdviseron top so far with 90. Two games left today. I think both home teams should win comfortably.

I’ve been putting 2-1 a lot & that seems to have been a major fail too sadly

I had Chelsea on 2-1 exact score and they failed to win against a pathetic West Ham. This was one of my worst weeks, with only 30 points in total, my worst being 20 so far. Only 5 weeks to go so things are getting tougher and tougher at the top. Anyone in the top five can be in the first place in the end if they have 2 or 3 weeks with over 150 points results.

Time for premier league again, however when I put my predictions I see in the Bbc website the game of Monday is missing. Maybe a problem with the bbc predictor website or the game is postponed ? By the way don't forget to put your predictions, I don't expect many points this week since I have gone for many surprise results and bet against the favourites this time.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Southampton 2-3 Chelsea
I bet nobody had that predicted, I went for Southampton 2-1 Chelsea to try & be clever. S’ton are in a relegation battle so I thought they might win, nearly worked out but then Chelsea decided to wake up at 2-0 down.

[BitcoinSupremo]

I thought to not do well this round but I got 2 correct scores and 1 correct result so 90 points is above average for me. Waiting for Tottenham to beat Man.City, I had Chelsea vs Southampton 1-1 as a draw but then the game took a truly unexpected term. I hope to keep my 4th place in the standings for this round as the primary objective of this round.
