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

[swogerino]

Another week,another chance for everyone of us to improve the rankings.I don't know how teams will behave at this midweek games because they just played on Saturday and now they are playing again today which does not leave a lot of room for rest,maybe the teams will not be in their 100% ideal form but I am confident they will because the Premier League and other England leagues are well  used to such tight schedules.There are quite some games today so don't forget the predictions,one missing day of predictions can prove devastating for anyone at this time.

The teams have been performing quite strangely at the beginning of the season. I lost several bets. Most of my predictions are not completely accurate. It was unexpected that Manchester City would share points with the likes of Newcastle. Liverpool has disappointed me in several matches. And scoring 9 goals against Bournemouth, it was even more unexpected. West Ham's performances were good last season, but have won just one match this season. No team's performance is stable. Making predictions in such a situation is very risky

We are in the pool so we are forced to make predictions because we lose several valuable points if we don't.We have the option to refrain from betting if we want but I think Premier League is the best league for this reason,you can win big in betting or lose big in betting by doing sport betting at this league.I think right now the favorites maybe will not win all again as this does not make any sense for this league,nevertheless I put my predictions for the favorites to win their games tonight.

Some more stupid decisions from the clubs.

United bought Anthony from Ajax for 100M, looks quite ridiculous when you compare it to City that paid less than 80M for Haaland and Alvarez. Then you add Martinez transfer for another what was it 70M and I am thinking they are laughing their asses off in Ajax for their negotiations with United.

Scott Parker is the first sacked manager this season after 3 consequtive losses. Seems quite unfair when you take into account that he lost against City, Arsenal and Liverpool after winning against Villa. What did they expect in Bournemouth? 10 points from those first 4 games? Much stronger teams would have same points with maybe a bit better goal difference.

I know that trigger was historical 9:0 loss but I still belive it is a bit unfair to Parker. He had thoughest possible fixtures in those 3 game weeks.

It's crazy but I believe the lower clubs are so making the most of such deals when the big guns feel they can always come at their convenience to lure out the clubs best assets, these clubs are also standing their ground and at least making the clubs over pay, Imagine the fee Wesley Fofana commanded to complete a move to Chelsea who had just let Rudiger and Christensen left on free transfer at the end of the just concluded season, but the desperation of the big teams will always work in favor of the lower clubs.

Yup, totally unfair...  But I guess what might have given Scott Parker the sack is how Bournemouth lost to Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool.  It was 4 - 0, 0 - 3 and an embarassing 9 - 0 which, as you said, was what prolly got the club owners or whoever really frustrated.

I was thinking the first to get the sack is Hasenhuttl since word was going around that he lost the dressing room.  It's a shame if they do sack him.  He's a good manager if given the right budget.  He did pretty good with RB Leipzig imho.

Man, I knew it was coming but come on, who's better than Parker now to take over? 9-0 is always an abnormality, Liverpool only had 14 shots on target, in the same week we had Bayern register 19 and only score 1, I've definitely seen enough Liverpool games with over 15 shots on target and no goal.

It's not just unfair, it's criminal. Arsenal league leaders. City defending champions. Liverpool went all the way in every competition. You ARE supposed to lose to them.

Anyway I'm being dumb, feel like there are going to be draws tonight but I've gone for wins/losses in all of them here and in betting. See if I change my mind.

I really can't make clear cut decision too, I don't have any bet on tonight except on Chelsea to win, and I curious If I haven't made a mistake, Reece James is missing out totally tonight but perhaps Sterling can continue from where he left of during the weekend. I really don't know what to make of the three other matches of tonight, I strongly feel like one or two of it might play out to be a draw, but I have gone with Crystal Palace, Brighton and Everton, while I'm thinking of changing mind regarding Everton, perhaps I might settle for a draw or go for Leeds, they've been doing better compared to Everton.

[swogerino]

It is funny.Today I won some extra money in slots and made three single bets,a Chelsea win,a Leeds win and a Crystal win,both of my bets are losing and I am also getting 0 points from the predictor with such results.I don't know what I was thinking when I did bet on these teams but they were the only teams playing tonight in a strong tournament like the Premier League,in fact I should have expected a Chelsea lost game because they lost 3-0 to Leeds not long ago and now they are doing it again.I wish I continued to play the slots at least there I would not get mad even when I would lose everything as they are games of luck,never again touching betting here in Premier League although there is time for the results to change (extremely extremely highly unlikely).

[CLS63]

It is a horrible day for me because I'm about to finish the day with 0 points in case the matches end like this. I picked a win for Chelsea by 2-1 but they are the losing side by this score at the moment.    Actually Manchester United were able to defeat Southampton last week. And Southampton were lacking the skill of scoring goals despite finding many critical chances. I expected a similar scenario in this match too. But Chelsea are having a really bad day.

However I see that all the people in the pool are getting 0 point if this match ends up with this score. Therefore it's still not bad for me.

All the favorites falling, yet again, have to love mid-week matches

All the favorites falling, yet again, have to love mid-week matches

Some horrifying results for people who did bet on them.Usually the midweek matches ends with less bad results but because we saw all favorites winning in the weekend now we see them failing,in Premier League I said we will count with the fingers of one hand a week like the one that we had in this last weekend where all the big teams won.

Now we are seeing the normal true face of the Premier League which is lots and lots of surprise results,this is the normal Premier League that I know but as an idiot I got and bet on all favorites tonight.

All the favorites falling, yet again, have to love mid-week matches

I had all points in the bag ,counted 7.5 points at one time and ended with just 3 points in first four matches. Honestly expected a lot more with few the last minutes. Everton and Crystal Palace spilled everything and both teams were winning. Hopefully in the rest of the match i see more points.

Even today I lost many bets. I expected Chelsea to win. And my prediction was Chelsea to win 2-1. But the result of the match was just the opposite. Southampton won 2-1. I was very disappointed by Chesley's performance. After trailing 2-1 in the first half, they did not attack much in the second half.
In other matches I expected Leeds and Brentford to win. But both matches were drawn 1-1. We are not getting good performance from Renowned teams either. They disappoint us in every match

Tbh, it's an embarrassing sacking after they've spent less than €60 million in the transfer market so far; how were they expecting him to get a point against Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool with those championship players? He won the first game and then lost to three major clubs, as expected. Got this lots promoted only to be embarrassed after four games is insane.

What the fck is Tuchel doing with all of this money and support from Boehly, and why do we have every player in every position and yet everyone is playing out of position? What have I done to deserve this garbage game week after week? Staying up late to watch this kind of 90s football? Supporting Chelsea should come with a health warning.


Losing is part of the game, but at the very least, give me some good football. This pain is deep.  

[darxiaomi]

What a hate/love relationship i have with the Saints, one day they win against the big six, the next they lose 6-0 without reason, i dont know what to thing about them.

Chelsea this season? its like they have some mental disorder, they dont know what are playing, no connection between players, one day make a good effort with a man less, and the other day they cant attack a mid table team.

The rest of the matchs were really dificult to know the output, and i fail.

[Woodie]

Mid week games jeeez So far zero points from four matches, am so devasted   !

Crystal Palace looked like an easy match such that they even got the early goal to show for their superiority but unfortunately they couldn't just hold on long enough to secure the bag, same story with Chelsea, actually its worse for them...after taking the lead Southampton fought their way back and beat the blues,what a story for the week! After today's games I will only be logging in to check up on some game week 6 action

0/4 lol

When the first half ended I saw the statistics and they were all in favor of Southampton,the same thing when I checked at 60 minute but at that time they were even more convincing for Southampton,normally if I would have any money left to bet I would have bet on them to win the game,I think is a good idea to see the statistics at Flashscore because they can tell you a lot about how the game will behave in the remaining minutes,well not always the case but in most of the cases I think they are valuable information.

[Trofo]

You know it was a though day when 1.5 points from 4 games get you 4 places up in the standing   

I vote we kick casperBGD out of the pool, 3 correct scores yesterday must be result of some black magic or selling the soul to the devil 
Kidding aside, well done man, would have never gotten that many outcomes correct yesterday.

Had a nice multi ticket and only game that screwed me was Brighton x2. So close and yet so far. Got correct both to score on Brentford and Leeds games, should have gone for same on Brighton but I thought this will be 0:1.

[buwaytress]

However I see that all the people in the pool are getting 0 point if this match ends up with this score. Therefore it's still not bad for me. 

I'm one of those with ZERO points haha. I knew they would be draws, but even if I'd made one, I'd have chosen the Fulham game.

All the favorites falling, yet again, have to love mid-week matches

As a neutral, this makes me smile. I'm feeling a bit titchy about my own game tonight. So many banana peels.

Now we are seeing the normal true face of the Premier League which is lots and lots of surprise results,this is the normal Premier League that I know but as an idiot I got and bet on all favorites tonight.

I'm doing really shite in the pool, bottom pile, but I've been making bank so far with teams like Chelsea and United losing (hit them on both losses all above 5/1). Happiness is even putting extra freebets from contests against them AND winning those too.

I'd give all my winnings away and more to not have lost to United though...

Losing is part of the game, but at the very least, give me some good football. This pain is deep.  

Right? My kid asked me why people were hammering United when they beat Liverpool and I asked him if he'd watched his team play for the last 10 games or so (he hasn't, of course).

Hang in there. I know I'm betting against Chelsea now but when the manager isn't making good decisions, or when Kante's not there, I always sense them wobbly. They'll bet Citeh in cup tie, mind you.

[Igebotz]

You know it was a though day when 1.5 points from 4 games get you 4 places up in the standing  

You are not alone, I was surprised to see myself moved 9 places up after getting just 3 points. I want everyday to be like this. Lol.

Kidding aside, well done man, would have never gotten that many outcomes correct yesterday.

I support the vote! How can someone be so bold as to predict the correct score against Chelsea? I'm sure no one expected that outcome. In the FPL pool, Harkorede is also giving me headaches; the bro has turned the league into a farmers league after only 5 games I want him out  

However I see that all the people in the pool are getting 0 point if this match ends up with this score. Therefore it's still not bad for me.  

I'm one of those with ZERO points haha. I knew they would be draws, but even if I'd made one, I'd have chosen the Fulham game.

Haha you love that wooden spoon don't you? It must be fun down there! rdbase am I right?

Lol. My kids support Arsenal I'm getting a lot of trolls this season. My first daughter is so plastic, she was a Manchester United fan last year and now an Arsenal fan this season. I don't celebrate or discuss football at home these days because I'm so humbled.

Hang in there. I know I'm betting against Chelsea now but when the manager isn't making good decisions, or when Kante's not there, I always sense them wobbly. They'll bet Citeh in cup tie, mind you.

Thank you for the Jinx! I'm not taking that.

[swogerino]

I am also one of the many people with 0 points from yesterday night games.Well CasperBgd must know his way in the Premier League as he predicted the surprise results which are common here,we all the others were fooled by the good results of the strong teams that we saw on Saturday and made our bets and predictions in the pool thinking the same will happen and this was a majority of us the pool players error.What I learned from yesterday games is that we should not take things for granted,nevertheless I have still gone and predict the favorites as winners in tonight games.
