Burnley vs Wolves
Chelsea vs West Ham

Tonights games, I need some points to avoid the wooden spoon

Edit - Wooden spoon avoided

Steve, bro!

Rofl.  Damn...  I wonder how many wooden spoons I've gotten since the start.  It has been a really baaad season for me both in the pool and in betting on these fixtures.  I think I'm just gonna switch to long shot parlays for the rest of the season and try to hit a big one.  Lol.

I tried to be clever & go for a number of draws, it obviously didn’t work out & I’ve slipped a bunch of places in the pool. Will teach me for trying to be too clever, what an idiot 

[tokeweed]

^  Lolol.  I've been doing the same thing.    But in my defense, what other choice do I have?  I'm pretty much behind in points and I'm just trying to get lucky now...

There's no games until boxing day now but there's a load over the holiday season and new year so make sure you don't miss them as they cram them all in and I think teams will be playing three games within a week. No doubt Klopp will be crying about that.

He was not crying when he played my team two games ago. Did anyone notice he had zero substitutions even though people were warming up in the field and it was looking to be headed towards a 1-1 draw?

Mourinho was really angered and I guess now Klopp has less to cry about for 5-subs rule if he did not even make 1.

I managed to move up by two places over the round, and with you dropping by 11 positions to 16th position explains how competitive the pool still is, which means one good/terrible round could make a terrific impact, but tomahawk is really pulling clear at the top 😳😳

[jeremypwr]

Well done to this week's Yellow Cap winner, bigdaddy, who moved up 11 total spots after last week's matches.

I remain in 2nd place but am now 9.5 points away from 1st place with tomahawk9.

My current 2nd place standing is only 1.5 points more than 3rd place with tyKiwanuka.

Enjoy the little break everyone; as play resumes after Boxing Day (26th).

LOL
Only few days ago you were too confident and started trash talk 😛

The same happened with me in the past. After a very confident round and me having trash talk about the next round, a massive failure. Since then I stopped doing the same. If I have a good round, I am normal. If I have a bad round I take it easy with sadness.

Anyway, this happens brother. I too have a bad round in this one.

Congrats to big_daddy.

I am still awaiting for such round which never happened with me in this round yet.

^^
 (( Don’t have smetits for both of you  at the moment ))

I smashed last round yes, and tonbe honest, can’t wait the next round to try to attack the leading position on the table 

I was a little bit offline due some rush I have at work lately, will update the yellow caps stats asap (need a few mins in peace on my PC, can’t do it on mobile lol)

Thank You Steve and Sportsbet for the YC bonus!

I’ll try a different angle this week, be much more humble. I can’t believe how many places I dropped haha.
Congrats big_daddy, nice score.

Any way my predictions are in & I hope for much better this match week.

Let's see how you and big_daddy do in this round. Before getting busy with Christmas things and mess up my brain I thought it's time for me to make my picks.
I am average as always. I never got the yellow cap not the wooden spoon however I was close to get wooden spoon several times. I wish I do the same for yellow cap sometimes. 😛

I put in my picks early already. Hoping for a strong Spurs win but me myself I put in a rather conservative prediction,,, for me as long as we enter 2021 in a winning way in the top four I am happy. I know we lost 2 games,,, but it was to very strong contenders. We just have to keep winning the games to the bottom half of the table. Plus a semifinal EFL:)

[tokeweed]

I haven't made my picks yet..  You got 0 - 1 for Spurs?    I think that's what I'm going for but the Wolves are the type of club that could out fox any top 6 club.

That is my pick. 1:0 for Spurs sounds about right. Lot of away wins for me this time around, Man Utd, Everton, Southampton, Chelseam and Spurs. All good odds so hopefully it will be good day at the bookies as well.

Am I crazy, or is this first time we have odds written below games when making tips? I am sure I did not see that before and it helps a little.

[big_daddy]

^yes that’s the first time with the odds at the bottom
But anyway I’m not making my predictions based on odds, using a mixture of stats and feeling instead
Will make my predictions now cause will forget tomorrow  and I don’t wanna ruin my current position on the leaderboard

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

^yes that’s the first time with the odds at the bottom

This is bad news for me. I will get biased by the odds now and will mess up my picks LOL
Who is their betting partner?

I have gone with Utd to win in the first match but I am having a feeling that Leicester may surprise Utd. There a so many times Utd messed up with my points so if they draw or lose, I would not be surprised.

United is actually much better away than at home so I am quite confident they will play good game. Leicester is also better away than at home. Their H2H is very united favored, from last 6 games united won 5 and one ended as a draw. Only way I see Leicester doing big problems to united is if Vardy scores a couple of penalties.

I simply have to take odds @2.4 for United after all what I wrote above.

You are a good man. I hope they do win the match and if that is by 1 - 2 then it would be awesome LOL
The odd is very impressive for Utd and I have a free bet from SB. I will watch the first half just to see how the teams are playing. If there are good value then I will take a shot. I just don't want to ruin my free bet 😛

What do you guys think about Southampton match. Against Fullham they would not have much sweat to win?
Will Arsenal bite Chelsea despite having their bad run from the last two months?

I think Southampton will have an easy win today.I don’t know about the London derby as any result can happen there despite the Arsenal really bad form.

Also don’t forget to put your predictions anyone as there are ten games today and tomorrow and a new week also starts Monday.

Hope most of you got the round of freebets Sportsbet just credited randomly today, I spent all of it in under 2 minutes probably, just a couple of 5/1 or above upsets, and then the rest on silly parlays here and there. With the price of Bitcoin at ATH, They've practically given away $125 to me, honestly can't find a more generous bookie any day of the year.

Cheers Santa Steve and gang!

And may the best bastard win Boxing Day points!
