Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread

@Welsh it was indeed a close game and full of nice moves with last ditch defending on both ends, surprised you read some saying it was a boring game. Also surprised no one chastised Wijnaldum's terrible back pass that Alison cleaned up. Espn rated Salah and Bobby the lowest, which was probably fair, but as I said earlier, if this is the worst Liverpool plays and we still scraped a point (at the Bridge no doubt), then I am pleased.

@LFC good good games and you're steadily getting your grip on top spots, and you're right the Reds had a genuinely hard gauntlet to run, and they've acquitted themselves so far. I'm hoping Napoli stirs them ahead of City, would be sweet to reclaim top spot with a win.

Did anyone notice slaman had 6 exact scores? One more and you would have won 550 pounds! Free premier league jersey isn't too bad either! This pool definitely more exciting and lots of chances to win.

Looking at the gap between 1st and 10th gives me hope i can still break in... Just got to stop making speculative shock results heh.

I didn’t notice that but damn, congrats slaman. If he was from the UK & had repeated that feat on Sky Super 6 predictions he’d have won £250,000.

I had a horrible week but ended with two exact scores which saved my 1st place

Damn you Hhampuz!

It is not nice to praise yourself, but I can't resist. I managed to actually get right the results of all games this weekend except from Man Utd one in predictor. And I even got that one right in the bookies because I played West Ham 1x. Now I am really pissed with myself because I finished the weekend with positive 0 and could have had a shitload of money if I believed a bit more in my predictions.

Congrats to Slaman I thought that 18 points should have been more than enough for yellow cap but he managed to get 19.

Wow, thanks a lot guys! I didn't notice it either because I got the email saying 5/9 and forgot there was one last match last night which I got exact 2-1. Actually I made 4 wrong predictions, and I changed the West Ham win as well as the Everton win, but also I changed others to 2-0 and all my 2-0s hit, as well as both last 2-1s, so I shouldn't complain. In Week 1 I tied highest scores, happy to get it again in Week 7, but still there are 3 people above me who got more than 19 points so every round must be fought very hard to win the top 5 of this pool.

250k buys me retirement for me and my family here haha!

No email from Superbru for my prize, too bad I support Barcelona, not sure which team to take.

Well he would have if they were all on the three o'clock kick-offs. It's much easier to get six results out of ten games as opposed to just the six.

I think they only give the prizes out to the top users over all the site, which is a bit shit. So there would only be one winner site-wide, so if somebody else got five scores but got more points or something then they get the jersey. I could be wrong but I think that's how it works and obviously makes your chances of winning anything very slim.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Prize or no prize you did very well regardless slaman. Is that your 2nd yellow cap in our pool now?
I’m still trying to get my first one unfortunately, having lots of fun competing against you assholes though

I’ve done by predictions for the next round of fixtures already

^  I think it's better to wait til the CL matches are done.  There could be injuries among the clubs playing.  And sometimes a loss could spill over to the league.

Anyway, I got a wooden spoon a week ago.  It's like the opposite of the yellow cap.  Lololol.

You can always change the scores just as long as you don't lock them in. I normally wait until the end of the week when all the pundits start making their predictions and compare them against mine. Sometimes I'll tweak them accordingly but I like to stick to my guns. I usually do better than the actual pundits overall. Beat Lawro last year I think.

I was following the match thread on Reddit which admittedly is full of knee jerk reactions, and all kinds of bashing. From what I saw it was far from a boring game. Yeah, Liverpool are getting results even when playing sub par which is usually what champions are known for. Maybe, not Man City as they normally set the league alight. Wijnaldum apart from the recent game against Chelsea has been a stand out player for me, and feel he's a little underrated. He's very good at keeping the ball, and breaking up plays.

Thanks a lot for your comment LFC. No this was my first yellow cap, I tied for in the first round if I remember, but was second place because of global ranking. I'm having a lot of fun here, so it doesn't matter but yes yellow cap is good to hunt for top 5 highest weekly, and get the consolation prize for this pool!

And yes, I think hilarious is correct, only 1 winner per week, and this week, there were FOUR people with SEVEN exact scores, so they had to choose 1 guy from the 4 to win 650 british pounds sterling. But I don't mind getting 5 every week!

Just in case anyone is waiting to do their predictions tomorrow morning, a quick reminder that there is a game this evening - Brighton v West Ham kicks off in about an hour and half. Make sure you get your predictions in!

I’ve gone for Brighton 1-2 West Ham, it’s based on nothing really. They’re both teams that’ll likely end up in the hottom half of the table. I like Arnautovic at West Ham & he’s dangerous so I’ve gone for West Ham to edge this.

[hahay]

I was lucky to have made this prediction, but it seems like it's useless because I am pick 1-2 for West ham. It seems impossible for West ham to catch up because the match has entered the final minute, which is 80' and the score is still 1-0 for Brightone.

[Hhampuz]

Extremely uninspiring offense from west ham tonight. Well done brighton and well deserved 3 points.

[slaman29]

These types of games like Brighton West Ham, I actually don't know what I'm doing either. I don't know the teams well, I don't know the managers well, so I just make random guesses, but always go for small wins favoring home side, or just draws if I see that the odds are close. I don't know these days, home games don't seem to be as predictable anymore. Sometimes the home fans pressure too much and the team plays like shit, and they have more freedom on the away games to "express" their abilities.

Anyway, I got the first game exact, so good for me. Maybe I can make another crack at yellow cap? I need one more to break into top 5 I guess. Good luck to everyone. We are all watching City beat Liverpool of course!

[Welsh]

I think you are forgetting that Liverpool almost always up their games against City! Alright, I'll admit it that Liverpool really need to start clicking today if they want to beat City otherwise city has the potential to just run away with the game. I'm hoping Liverpool click. They had a very good start of the season with getting results even when they aren't playing at their best. However, its time for them now to start clicking, and throw all the pre season rustiness off.

Lots of rumors flying around right now about Mou. The Mirror reported that "Senior United sources" said he was to be sacked this weekend, regardless of the outcome against Newcastle, and then Sky Sports reported that United have "dismissed" these rumors.

Regardless of whether or not they are true, they surely signify complete chaos at United right now. The moral and focus of the players has to be at an all time low right now. They should have a very easy win against 18th placed Newcastle, but having said that, they lost 3-1 against 17th placed (at the time) West Ham just a few weeks ago.

[Welsh]

United will struggle against Newcastle I think. However, they should win, and I have gone for a United win. But, I wouldn't be surprised if they did end up drawing or even losing with the current shit show that's going on over there. I think Mou will be given until christmas (probably). I wouldn't trust the mirror personally.

That would be catastrophic for Man.Utd and I have them as my tip of the day in my tipping thread, they have not won from many games now and if they don't do it in front of their fans against a struggling Newcastle when will they do ? Going back to EPL pool I had 1-2 West Ham yesterday night and also have many surprises for this week, I may end with very few points or with lots of them depending if surprises happen today.

[Welsh]

Don't get me wrong. I think United will win. But, I don't think its going to be easy for them. I've included a United win on my accumulator. I tend to have different results on my actual betting than this little pool though. I tend to go for more of a gamble here in an attempt to pick up points other people aren't. (its not working)
