Still hurting from bets yesterday. Arsenal, Liverpool, all let me down but Ige, what do you think of your chances today? Easy bet for me to take any given Sunday anyway but it feels like a trap.

Pep might want to rest players, but his secondary squad is as terrifying as any.

Nice send off for Bobby though yesterday.

The only game which I have doubts is West Ham vs Leeds as Leeds needs this victory in order to be feeling somewhat better in the last game which most likely they will play at home and play by themselves the relegation final.West Ham should be tired from playing at Netherlands on Thursday night and they have had only 2 days to rest before this game so this can be a deciding factor,nevertheless personally I bet on West Ham to win this game at 2.65 odd seems really nice.

For the other games they are only worth playing with goals,over 3.5 in both games and this should give quite a nice odd together if you also include West Ham or Leeds to win,as you said though today games look like traps and they may as well end 1-0 each of them because many people will play goals in these games.

On a last note,everybody lost money yesterday and Liverpool burned me down in several tickets as I was having the most faith in them to win.

City players will be desperate for a starting place in Istanbul so I think whatever team plays will be extra motivated to stake their claim. Their squad is so good, I don’t think there will be any drop in attitude. Chelsea are in for ANOTHER beating

Sad to see Bobby go but maybe the time was right, Milner too. The less said about Ox and Keita, the better.

The first two games came out as expected and if City also wins that means that finally after soooooooooooooo long we will have a day without surprise results in the Premier League.Of course the odds were low for Brighton and are also low for City but anything can happen in this last game while I think I agree with you,Chelsea is in for another beating,they are not winning from such a long time that they cannot in anyway win against a monstrous City which looks unstoppable.I know they won against Bournemouth but it was the referee that won that game and not Chelsea.

we should thank West Ham for this win, I didn't expect from them to fight like this, especially after Leeds was early up, but they fought, and Leeds is still on 31 point

Leicester has easier job now when Liverpool is out, Newcastle does not have to push for CL, but fight for third spot is open, and maybe that will motivate them

congrats to City, third title in a row

[arallmuus]

Newcastle does not have to push for CL, but fight for third spot is open, and maybe that will motivate them

3rd or 4th doesnt really matter at this point because either spot they placed in the end is not that really important as long as they get to qualify for UCL. Pretty sure that Newcastle is going hardcore right at start against Leicester, technically both Newcastle and Manchester United still need that last 1 point to ensure that they will grab that top 4 for sure

The first two games came out as expected and if City also wins that means that finally after soooooooooooooo long we will have a day without surprise results in the Premier League.

Wait wasnt that they are already the champions before they even play against Chelsea the moment Arsenal lost?

My performance in the pool has dropped down very much on the recent weeks. My target was to finish the pool in top 5 a few weeks ago. Now I will be very happy if I manage to finish in top 10. I was thinking that there would be many more goals in the Manchester City-Chelsea match today.

Yes, damn it, I fell into Pep's trap. I'm wondering how Chelsea managed to have six shots without translating them into goals, while City only had two shots and managed to score the winning goal. This is my carefully studied ticket for this week:

Strange to drop down so many places,I remember seeing you many weeks ago in the top 10 and now I see you are 8 points behind the 10th place which is difficult to translate that you will win 8 points in the remaining 13 games although anything can happen,you just need to find like 5-6 correct scores out of these 13 games and I am pretty confident that you can achieve it.

Personally I am staying in 11th place from about 7-8 weeks now and I think this will be my final place in the end although I like you am hopeful for a 10th place,whatever happens I think it is great that we ended in the prize spots,I surely was not expecting to be such high when the pool began.

[Betwrong]

Man Utd are currently are ahead with less than 30 minutes to go, while Liverpool have just had a goal ruled out, I guess it's high time to call it a day with this position and CL qualification race.

Liverpool's hope are gone now. We have nothing left in this season. Newcastle and Utd don't need to worry anymore. Villa was too good at defense? Or were not up to the mark to defeat their defense.

My bet to win Liverpool lost too. A day I fucked up totally and Liverpool did too.

I'm sorry you lost your bet, @BitcoinGirl.Club. I  can imagine that losing a bet of 1.7 mBTC can be tough. Recently, I didn't win 1.55 mBTC because of only one wrong prediction:



and although I didn't lose anything to worry about, just 0.01 mBTC, I still was thinking, "WTF, Tottenham! Couldn't you win in your home match, with all the rooting and cheering from your fans!"

And so many of us in the Sportsbet's BitcoinTalk Pool on Superbru could be saying the same about Liverpool. Liverpool beat Aston Villa 3-1 at the away match 5 months ago, but fell for a draw at Anfield. WTF!

But not all of us were so totally incorrect.



Congrats, @KTChampions, @jayce and @arallmuus! You can predict unexpected things, you guys.

Ahh man hurts also for me. But i have to say one thing you were so much bold on that bet. A lot of unlikely results you choose on that one.

Another one really hurt, but we have to say in this, Totenham being Totenham blowing up all.



Today game Newcastle to finish his enter on UCL and Leicester to make a movement into relegation or salvation.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I'm trying to hold onto top 10 but the point differences are really not much right now. This week has been a disaster for me honestly. It started with Tottenham's shocking loss from 1-0 to 1-3. Thankfully I got some points from last two games but still it is far away from top. Today there is a game that isn't easy to predict the result of - Newcastle vs Leicester.

I'm still indecisive about what to pick for this one. Because it is a game that is important for both sides. It is important for Newcastle because they want to secure their ticket for the Champions League groups. Even a draw is enough for them to do this and this pushes me to think of predicting a draw for this game also.

Leicester need a win desperately to keep their hopes alive for staying in the EPL. I'm feeling confident about both teams to score for now at least.

I don't think Leicester has enough ability to overcome Newcastle, but there is the element of surprise where anything is possible in the world of football. Indeed, Leicester's position has also made me doubt. In reality, it's not easy to predict the outcome of this match.

The odds of both teams not scoring at 1.99 seem good, so it will be included in my bets for today.

Ahh man hurts also for me. But i have to say one thing you were so much bold on that bet. A lot of unlikely results you choose on that one.

In reality, I win most of my individual bets, but the returns are small, so I prefer to create multiple tickets in order to achieve substantial winnings. However, it remains elusive. I believe the final round will witness many surprises, especially the match involving Everton, which might slip into the second division.

[arallmuus]

Recently, I didn't win 1.55 mBTC because of only one wrong prediction:

This one was rough. Tottenham should have won that one. Just wondering this but how many tries have you gotten before you were this close on winning a betslip with over 100x odds

Congrats, @KTChampions, @jayce and @arallmuus! You can predict unexpected things, you guys.

Well actually in my case, I was actually manifesting my own personal feeling on how I wanted the score to be. You know I want United to get the UCL spot and I know Liverpool is kinda unbeatable in Anfield hence the draw pick by me. I was kinda happy with the scoresheet, its either Villa win the game or draw when I checked it on 80th minutes so yeah

I think Leicester should have worried about staying in the Premier League in many games before and not to start looking for a desperate win tonight.Newcastle plays for a sure spot in the Champions League with a win tonight,not that if they don't win they are going to miss it but the team difference in quality is to big and I don't think Newcastle is going to let Leicester win in this game.Personally I have gone for an Asian Handicap -1.5 for Newcastle because if Newcastle wins this game I am sure they will win it with more than one goal difference and the odd was good enough well over 1.85 the moment I placed the bet.

In the pool,these 3 games including this one tonight and the two of midweek before the final round can make a difference as there are 39 points in play until the end.

From the beginning to nearly the end I was in top 7 however my performance on the recent weeks has been really very bad. It isn't like this only in the pool. It is the same when it comes to my betslips as well. I assume that the end of the season will be helpful for me the most. I don't want to lose more money.

[darxiaomi]

What a strange result and game, Newcasstle deserve the victory, Leicester parked the bus in the whole game, but have one last opportunitty saved by Pope.

Now for the last round, we have quite a difficult scenario in relegation, for me Leeds its practically on championship, Everton have 1 foot on premier but the main problem its if they draw and Leicester wins they have worst goal diference, so they need to go for the victory to secure their spot.

Good to see Necastle again in UCL i want to see what players they buy for next season , and one last thing, hat off to Eddie Howe really good manager.

Leicester were fucking awful today, just a single for the entire 90 minute is nothing worth rooting for, they should just enjoy their trip back to the championship were the awful butts belong, they couldn't even string a series of 5 consecutive passes together.

I hope Newcastle can make the most of their champions league appearance next, there is still quite a journey ahead of them before they can be regarded as one of the Europe Elites.

Once upon a time, Leicester City fought for the top 4 while Newcastle United fought for relegation; today, Newcastle will participate in the Champions League next season while Leicester City will be fighting for relegation. I've said it before: the success of any football club is dependent on their sugar daddy. Leicester City does not have sufficient funding to stay in the Premier League at this time.

It would be incredible to see Neymar and Hazard join Newcastle next season.

The relegation battle will go on until the bitter end, and I'm betting on Everton to stay up.

Leicester had that one shot at 90+4, but Pope was on the place, was a bit afraid, since he was there doing nothing for whole 90 minutes
they are fighting to avoid relegation, and had 20% possession and no shot in 90 minutes

last round is there, and Everton needs a win over Bournemouth to stay in Premier now, Leicester could stay with a win over West Ham, if Everton does not win, while Leeds needs Everton to lose and Leicester not to win, for their win over Tottenham to make sense and they stay in Premier, will be an interesting afternoon for sure

It was Newcastle that was an erratic team in attack,they shot more than 23 times but they could not translate those attacks in goals,probably they were tired and with just that point they have a strong foundation to be sure to be in Champions League spot for the remaining game that they have to play.Leicester I did not understand what they were trying to do as 1 point does not do them any good so they should have gone all out in attack yesterday and try to get goals scored because if they got the three points they would be in a much more comfortable position for the last game and to have better chances to be safe from relegation,now I believe this not to be possible.
