I received a 2mBTC free bet from sportsbet not sure if this was for round winning. Can anyone confirm if they also received the same amount. It took me few minutes to use the bet and lost it. LOL
It was a three fold and lost by one wrong pick unfortunately. Lately gambling is not going well with me.

New round starting in less than 6 hours. Make sure you all submit your picks. I thought I had all my picks but few minutes ago just realized that I had only one pick submitted LOL. Lucky me or I would miss the next two because I will be busy the entire afternoon.

A re-cap after the 17th round where the yellow cap was earned by famLFC, congrats!

Finally I am on the list. Wondering who will be the first to have more than one round winning 😆

How would you explain it that after 17 rounds there are no user who won a round twice. Strange coincidence for sure.

[buwaytress]

^Nope no freebet here, as you can see, you get some, you don't get some, and this time it was you, see how nice they are?

Anyway, 17 rounds, 17 unique yellow caps. Let's see if us 17 winnars can't do a repeat.

Some rearranged fixtures tomorrow night (Spurs vs Fulham) I've just put in my picks. Don't forget, gentlemen;) Happening in La Liga too, so I'm busy on Superbru. Good luck, bastards.

[slaman29]

So I guess the curse for a new winner on each round continues even in 2021, Im not complaining or being salty here . Im good enough this round, this is my best results so far and I literally has less than 7 points for the past 4 or 5 weeks in a row

I'm pretty good standing in this round until the last two games. I did not expect an easy ManCity win and Liverpool to lose.
But as a Manchester United fan, if I lose points due to the wrong choice to Liverpool win, I am still satisfied  

Sorry to respond to a week old comment but here I totally get what you mean. I don't support any particular team in EPL but yeah, I'd rather get my wrong picks for Real Madrid and even lose bets if they drop points, like they did in the last game (losing me quite a bit of money in the process).

Anyway, us neutrals are enjoying the season. I still think Liverpool overall "deserve" it based on the way they play. City as well attacking like them and not getting a lot of goals but I read it's because teams now park the bus against Liverpool and City.

Thanks for the La Liga reminder. I picked Sevilla;)

The statistic can say many things, but also can't show anything. Yes, Manchester City is attacking team but check his goal stats. They scored "only" 24 goals until now, which is along with West Ham worst GF in top 10. Judging by his last two games, they seem to have emerged from the crisis and going for better results.

[Indymoney]

After the end of first half I am feeling its good for those who have Sheffield United as winner because now Newcastle United is going to play with 10 players Fraser out with red card on 45th minute of first half.

[tokeweed]

^  Newcastle is still holding on tho.  Sheffield sucks at finishing this year.  I mean it’s a complete 180 from what they were last season.  This year they just look like a Championship club struggling at the EPL.

[Harkorede]

More users than I expected actually got points from Newcastle's loss against Sheffield United, finally got their first win after 18 games.

It's raining goals at Wolves already 1 - 1 in less than 20 minutes played, but I'm all in for the Toffees.

[LTU_btc]

If 2020 was strange year, now 2021 says "hold my beer". First, few days ago Schalke won their first win in Bundesliga after almost year break. And now, completely worst EPL team achieved their first win this season. What's next? MU on the top of table ?

Yeah, I was also surprised that so many backed them. I've been thinking between picking draw or Newcastle win.

[hilariousetc]

Zero points from those three games but I was a single goal away from the correct score on each one. Very annoying.

Did anyone see the VAR in the United match? They were simultaneously checking incidents at either end of the pitch and took about 5 minutes to do so. Not sure what Maguires goal was disallowed for either.

More users than I expected actually got points from Newcastle's loss against Sheffield United, finally got their first win after 18 games..

Yeah didn't think many would go for the home win. I had a 0-0 draw so wasn't far off

[arallmuus]

Yeah it happens. I know for sure sooner or later Sheffield probably going to win but I just cant let myself to pick Sheffield. Ended up picking Newcastle and lost. I even had Newcastle to win on one of my betslip with $89 winning potential if only Newcastle win

What's next? MU on the top of table ?

Why not? It happened and Manchester United is staying on top atleast until the next match against Liverpool. To be honest, I cant really recall when was the last time Manchester United stand on the top of the table after Sir Alex retired. Only 1 goal against Burnley, I'll take that and what matters the most is the 3 points from winning the game

Exactly.The leader of this week standings got 2 exact scores in Sheffield and Everton game and near missed another one in the Manchester game.I have only 2.5 points so far so this round I consider it bad as I don’t think I will recover anything in the upcoming games.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I really suck at the moment with my predictions. It was made double as bad with Man Utd overtaking LFC at the top of the PL. Oh well we’ll just have to beat them at Anfield on Sunday. I’m tempted to go for Man Utd to win in my predictions as a reverse indicator based on me being crap in the prediction pool this season. Usually what i predict the opposite happens so hocus pocus, LFC 0-2 Man Utd

[buwaytress]

^ Haven't looked forward to a United game in a really long time;)

Anyway, proud to say I'm a contender for the wooden spoon. Damn it. Blades' first win, and of course courtesy of Steve Bruce and his "all-out attack" team.

All the way in 39th place. That's what I get for thinking OGS will bottle it at Burnley. Did see the first half and it was heading for a draw, have to say.

I have some good day as one exact and 2 close its just because of last minute change I was on 0 - 1 for Manchester Unites vs Burnley but on last minute I change this with 0 - 2 which cost me badly but today going with 3 - 0 Manchester City and 3 - 1 with Tottenham hopefully these will also going with good result.

If we can’t get up & motivated to play Man Utd then we don’t deserve to win the title tbh.

[Harkorede]

I was about to rant in here about Man City have failed to live up to my 3 - 0 win expectations but I saw this in the pool https://i.imgur.com/ObgHo3z.jpg, so I can't even complain, lol. Man City are playing well, but the goals have really reduced drastically this season, Man City have only scored more goals(a goal) than just one team from the top 10 teams in the league.

[tokeweed]

^  Yup.  For what they have up front, they look pretty clueless.

With all the hype and the high expectations, I think these two clubs could negate each other and end up in a scoreless draw.  And it’s also very possible that VAR could ruin this game for either club.

Silly me for thinking Brighton could snatch this. I ought to stop throwing away money on these games, seems like City aren't as brittle at the back anymore but their goal problems up front are same as Liverpool and others -- just tiredness.

As I'm writing this, Sterling penalty oops haha. This was worse than de Bruyne's miss against Liverpool heh.

Anyway, Pep apparently said he's found the secret to success with his team, telling them not to run but walk (with the ball) haha. In direct contradiction to Liverpool's high-press blitzkrieg from the front, defend from attack, although Klopp definitely slowed his team down from last season...

Boo, I woulda thought that pre-Bruno Fernandes but surely they'll want to have some fun;) 4-0 Liverpool, because secret weapons abound;)

Yeah, now they are looking really solid, but before season not many saw them as potential title contenders. I also can't remember when last time when they were on the top of table, if we don't count some starting rounds of season. Maybe it was in Fergie times, wouldn't be surprised.
