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

@BitcoinGirl.Club, if you agree I think we can settle the sidebet that we made. Leeds have theoretically stayed up so I won that 2.5 mBTC.

If you're OK with it, I'd like you to send the amount directly to @Trofo since I will lose another sidebet 2 of us made. It was the same amount, so this way is much easier.

If you need some time it's fine of course, I basically just wanted to ask you if you're ok with directly paying Trofo.

I can pay directly to Trofo. Let this high fees and things to be cool down. I will send the amount to him. My luck like to go south and it seems I will be kicking out myself from top 10 soon LOL. City match has just started. I had a 1 - 2 for them to win but changed my mind and gone with 1 - 3. Let's see.

I'm not sure if the question about the Super League (ESL) has already sounded in this thread ... (I apologize in advance if the question is not on the topic), but considering that there are a lot of people hanging out here participating in the Premier League prediction pool, and also the fact that in the Premier League at the final stage I had several questions (rhetorical). It's just that I'm already tired of watching you people have fun here without me!

[1] What are we all going to do given that there is quite a long break between this and next Premier League season.
[2] Will hilariousandco or any other respected member of the gaming section be able to lead the Super League prediction pool?
[3] Are there any other people willing to join?

1. Wait for the next season to start  We can have one short EURO pool in the summer.
2. Super League is dead. That being said hilariusandco is leading this pool and Champions League one. I am leading La Liga and Serie A pools this season. I am willing to lead any football pool that has at least 10 people joining if hilarius is not interested. His was the first pool and his trust is better than mine so I am giving him first pick on this stuff and I am taking over the leftovers
3. I will be participating in all football pools with at least 10 people joining. This season I am playing all 4 above mentioned pools and plan to continue in the next one so long as their is some interest.

Yet another poor performance and result from Liverpool and the chances to finish within the top keeps slipping away gradually...

Some users were still able to grab 3 points from the Liverpool fixture, while it's been a forgettable week so far for me in the pool, I've only accumulated 3 points, from 6 matches.

Same as me and I have already lost 5 positions in the standings I am now 31 from 26th that I was.Still though only 27 points away from top ten which keeps my dreams alive.

Well, there are still many games ahead, and the difference between the points of various people it's that high, so the top-10 list can change over time as well.
As for me, my plan not to get kicked out of top-10 is currently working. I've made many mistakes this round, such as a draw between the Wolves and Sheffield United, but then I got two exactly right outcomes for yesterday's games which helped with the points for this round a lot  
Now I'm actually higher than I've ever been so far with my 5-th place on the leaderboard. Good luck in the following rounds!

Is the ‘Super League’ even going to be a thing?  I think it’s dead right before it started.  The fans don’t want it, at least from the people I know irl they don’t want it.  It’s going to make the CL less prestigious and so will finishing in the top 4.

But to answer those questions:

Get into the UFC.  It’s fun.  

If hilarious doesn’t, pretty sure it’s Trofo.

I will if I got the extra money.

Edit:  Just saw Trofo’s reply.

I am not interested at all in a league like Super League where many players and sport personalities were all against and in fact as of now it is in a status of "suspended until we find a formula to please everyone of the major teams".

I am hopeful that Bitcoin price will be high enough that many people will join again the Premier League pool.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

The reason I join Premier League is I understand the teams and not much but I have a decent understanding. It's the only league I enjoy to watch. In CL although we have Liverpool but I do not have much idea about the other teams except few big clubs like Barcelona, PSG. So not knowing the clubs it's basically not much fun that's why I skipped CL pool.

With this high price of Bitcoin maybe we will have less sats but we are always good with the USD value.

Leicester's are on fire. Vardy, Evans, Iheanacho all got 1 each and it's not even half-time. West Brom are looking helpless.

[Trofo]

They sure started well tonight. I expected a tough match for them tonight. WBA was good in the last few games and Leicester did not look very dangerous without Madison and Barnes. Vardy was also out of form for quite some time now.

I see Madison is playing today so maybe he is the one that energized the whole squad, not watching the match since my wife occupied the TV, gonna kick her out for second half.

It's still 3 - 0 and nothing else is happening. Pretty sure Leicester is going to leave the ground with 3 full points. Not good for Liverpool LOL

By the way, I hope you are aware that I will pay you 2.5mBTC that was supposed to be paid by cryptofrka. Please read this :

Leicester was good yesterday but if you score early against WBA it is one of the easiest games of the season. They are now well ahead compared to other teams fighting for the CL spots, 4 points look like a decent advantage. They have their toughest games coming up at the end though so I wouldn't call them favorites just yet.

West Ham - Chelsea game tomorrow will be hugely important, I just hope Liverpool wins against Newcastle before so I can watch that one in peace.

Definitely a decent advantage but yeah season is too tight and every team except United dropping points. Has anyone considered United a title contender yet? I know there are so few games remaining but stranger things have happened.

Newcastle been sneaking in a lot of wins lately too and so are Chelsea. Surprises do you think happening after today?

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

I hope to a draw result so both would have 56 points each.

Liverpool, West Ham, Chelsea, Tottenham and Leicester are well in the race for CL. But I think Leicester will choke eventually. Their game against Utd and Chelsea will be very crucial. West Ham is looking better team this year even better than Chelsea and Tottenham.

I have no idea how we will do. Liverpool should be winning the rest of their matches except one hard one which will be against Utd. But the current Liverpool really is not in their right game plan.

It is impossible for Manchester United to win the title with 11 points difference and so few games remaining.However you made me curious as what are these stranger things that have happened as I don't recall anything this strange happening?

Nope, City is just too good to lose this. Even if United wins their game in hand, they are still 9 points behind rather than 8 - because in case of equal points City has much better goal difference.

Actually, not so long ago United lost the similar situation to City. United had a 8 point difference at the top with 6 games to go. City won against United, United lost to Wigan and dropped points against Everton although they were leading 3-1. That was in 11/12 season, City winning their first PL title with that stoppage time Aguero winner vs QPR.

Don't worry I read everything that gets my bot attention and quoting me or writing my nick qualify for that. I have no objection, don't really care from which address the money comes as long as it comes

I was on fire this season, 3 side bets and looks like I'll be winning all of them with some margin and what is best only toke had bet was in dollars and you guys insisted on BTC even though I offered dollar value paid in BTC
1. tokeweed already paid his bet, we had a bet on who will score more, him - Auba, me - Salah
2. I have a live one with you on who lifts PL,  BitcoinGirl.Club - LFC and City for me
3. I have that bet with cryptofrka that you mentioned on who will finish higher, cryptofrka - Chelsea and United for me

Almost certainly not. All the English teams have dropped out so it's just Juve, Barca and Real Madrid now. It's basically just the El Classico but even that's lost it spark especially since there's no Messi v Ronaldo and maybe even Messi will move on at the end of this season. The whole super league thing was a very greedy move and glad the fans spoke up but it's not like money hasn't already ruined football but this super league thing was the big boys trying to run their own Champion's League the way they wanted it and grabbing most of the money. The CL isn't much better though and is going to become a joke as they're expanding that in a ludicrous way like they're doing with the World Cup going from 32 to 48 teams and it's just for more revenue as more teams equals more games and therefore more TV and Advertising revenue.

It's not impossible. United have a game in hand as well, so lets assume United win on Sunday then that's only an 8 point gap.

nothing is impossible, but this is far from possible, City is good enough to get eight points from five matches and get the title, without even looking at United effort to get them (although I would like to see United on top)

nevertheless, Everton is playing tonight, and we lost almost everything that could be lost in last few rounds, but I have a feeling that we could change our luck tonight, Arsenal is playing for better and worse, and the match could end up in all ways, with both-to-score as best option
go toffies tonight, stay in Europa league fight

Everton has three wins, three loses than three draws, it is time for three wins in a row again

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

With an early goal from Salah we are leading. I hope we will be able to score one more goal however a 2 - 1 finish will be nice LOL

I think there are no doubt that City are not going to take the title this year. Utd will be 2nd (which is a surprise for me like many others I guess). I am still hopeful for Liverpool to have the 3rd place.

[buwaytress]

Well. Looked online for the last 10 minutes and from what I can understand from some vid shorts. We conceded a goal. That was later ruled out for handball (no, still doesn't make me a VAR fan, that goal should have stood, might actually have given us time to go for a counter had it stood). And then somehow Fabinho turned a goal Alisson should have comfortably saved into our own net.

Sums up our game? Sounds like us this season.
