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

[examplens]

Currently on top with 13, good round for me. If Jesus was not so selfish, I'd have 14,5 and be even closer to consolation prize.

I think I'm already on the leaderboard with 16 points, what happens if I'm on leaderboard twice at the end of the season?
What do the rules say? Can a person win more of them or not?

easy mate, you are not alone on the top in this round and it has not yet ended

You got one. I am aiming for United win. After the series of spoon performance, I am feeling little lucky this time. Actually I won festive lottery and stood 4th in state jackpot last week. Hope that some positive vibes will flow towards pool too. Prediction: 3-2 and Man U taking this one in Old Trafford.

You and your luck this time will go to the vain LOL
Man! Liverpool will win. Period! 🤪
I mean really seriously - Utd really needs to play some extra ordinary football if they want to take away any single points from Liverpool. It's just too hard for them at the moment.
I will go with 0 -2 win for Liverpool.

webtricks always play United to win  
I'm glad that it ended a draw just because of many desires Liverpool to humiliate United at OT, Ole to be fired blah... I would even prefer that United won even if I picked exactly 1:1 score.  
Liverpool's winning streak is broken by worst Manchester United in history

Haha, I have soft corner for Man United, don't know why but I always go for their win. On the contrary I hate Liverpool since they beat Barcelona (pro Barca fan ).
By the way, nice week for you Examplens. 7 out of 9 correct prediction, not bad.

No, no.. I'm not talking about this round, just asking what the rules are for future reference. Although it isn't that important now since I missed the outcome of Liverpool game.

TBH - both VAR decisions were correct if you ask me. Origi made too much of the first one and even if it was maybe a slight foul, I'd never overrule a goal scored based on it because the referee clearly saw the play. For the second one, hand is in a natural position but clearly helps Mane to control the ball.

A bad performance for Liverpool, but still a point saved. I'm thrilled about Lallana though, I adore the little magician.

Mediocre 8 points for me in the pool but what I’m more pissed off about is VAR & that cunt Atkinson trying to cheat us all game. What a joke!

Sheffield United - Arsenal FC

Arsenal to win @1.98
My pool pick is 0:2

I'm not giving lot of chances here to Sheffield tonight, Arsenal has a better team, much more better and stronger, why such big odds here?

Because Shef United is not a joke. Although Shef United is on 15th spot but still delivered some solid performances so far. Draw against Chelsea, Beaten Everton in away game, Liverpool was only able to score 1 against them. So anything could happen tonight, Arsenal haven't been the best team and only able to win half of their games so far.

[hilariousetc]

Got robbed from a perfect score on the Villa game with an injury time winner.

Should have stuck to my guns on the 1-1, but changed it a few times. When I saw De Gea was back I changed it to 0-1. Liverpool should have had that game easy but at least they got a point from it. All City have to do now is beat Liverpool home and away and they'll be equal on points so this has certainly given City hope. I'd back them to win at home but probably not at Anfield where they'll meet on the tenth of next month.

Does anyone use any legit streaming service to watch Premier League games? A couple of seasons ago there was the Premier League pass but they lost the rights to someone else. I was going to go with Dazn as they show all the matches on their Canadian site along with many other leagues and sports but I read they block most VPNs which would render it useless. Pretty good value at $150 for the season though. Does anyone use it or know of any other services? I know NBC has the rights in the US but they have no other games and I can't seem to sign up even with a VPN so I'm guessing they blocked it. Nord VPN which I use does offer a dedicated IP for the US but not Canada. Don't wan't to get one though unless it works 100%.

why such big odds here?

Don't let their standing in the league table fool you, Sheffield are actually a pretty decent team, it's just that they lack firepower on the front so they end up either drawing or losing games.

Sheffied actually have one of the best defences in the league, they've conceded the least number of goals so far (7 goals, same as Liverpool). They lost to Liverpool in a really close game, they got away with a draw at Stamford Bridge, and lost to Leicester in yet another close game.

I'm backing Arsenal in our pool (i think i predicted 1-2), but i wouldn't mind putting down a few bucks in Sheffield ML at 3/1 odds.

[big_daddy]

tnx @webtricks and @tomahawk9 for your explanations on Sheffield, make more sense now why those odds are so high on Arsenal...
reading your 3/1, I looked at some asians, and this could be interesting: Asian Handicap 0-0 Sheffield United (0/+0.5) @2.32

[tokeweed]

Betting on the draw at 3.72 (tho I got 0 - 1 at the pool).  Man U gonna PTB...  And when was the last time Liverpool won at Old Trafford?

It was 2014., and the result was 0:3
Today, Liverpool can do the same or even better
They are strong as hell and Mutd has some problems, so i hope that Liverpool will take the advantage

Hah!  Knew it!  Happy to win some monies (for a change lawl ).

But the match was totally not what I expected.  Pep can prolly get some ideas from the match on how to beat LFC.  Less playing possession football from the back and go for more direct fast balls to the front.  The City squad could even prolly play the same strategy better imho.

Not sure if I'm missing something but don't see anything on there. I'm kinda wanting a legit service that allows me to watch stuff directly through my smart TV though. I've had IPTVs and streams in the past but they're so hit and miss. Lots of buffering and stream cuts out if the streams even work at all hence why I'm looking for something reliable.

I'm not sure I'd back Sheff to win but I think it will be close.

have you tried Kodi before?  https://kodi.tv/
Streaming software with many useful addons. a lot of people recommended it to me but I don't need it my cable operator is enough.

Not bad, it's still a risky bet so try not to throw away your entire bankroll lol

Normally, i wouldn't back Sheffield either, but i'm still waiting for an upset in matchweek 9, and i kinda want to go for a fun side bet before the Champions League starts (:

I would not wonder if we see another upset.
This week was indeed with few very close matches:


Chelsea, Tottenham, Wolves, Liverpool.

However, I went with 0 - 2 for Arsenal in the pool I also have a bet for them to win. Odd is really good @1.94

[LTU_btc]

@hilariousetc, you're from UK, right? If yes, you should go with Sky and BT Sports, it's only legal way to watch EPL in UK. But as I understand, they don't show 3PM and some other games.
You might check this article:
https://www.reviewsfire.com/tech/how-to-watch-3pm-kick-offs-uk/
It's suggests to use Fubo.TV, but you'll need VPN.
Personally, I'm relying on IPTV usually and I can't complain about quality or things like buffering.
Today I'm backing Arsenal, but don't expect easy win. I also have 1:2 on Superbru.

I have tried IPTVs in past spending $20-25 per month but the quality of stream offered by such services was even worse than illegal streams available online. Among free streams, totalsportek is best. It is a kind of search engine for free stream and display range of free streaming links for every match. I tried it on my TV browser and if you could dodge 2-3 popup ads, stream mostly run smooth.

But since last year, Hotstar is streaming all Premier League action in much better quality so I have now bought Hotstar subscription and it works wonderful on TV. But I guess Hotstar won't be available in your country. Try with VPN, if you are able to open Hotstar then I will provide you Premium account and you can watch all PL action ad-free in HD.

I gone with 0 - 2 for Arsenal and also have a small amount for them. Hope everything goes okay. I really do not want to see another draw or unpredictable result LOL
Arsenal should win this match.

I'm really not sure, but I think went with 2 - 0 in favor of Arsenal too, I don't want to check, I might be tempted to change it 

Just 7.5 points so far for me, I think there's probably no hope for me, except perhaps I get one of the consolation prizes 

Should be a comfortable victory for the Gunners by the way.

[buwaytress]

@hilarious I'd love a legit service myself in EU. I actually enquired and they tried to sell me some satellite service, that just lets me use the card as if I were a sky user in the UK, for example. It seems seriously shady even if he convinces me it's not entirely that.

Even costs a subscription that bills me every month, except it doesn't actually come from sky itself. So yeah I'm interested.

P.S. I have a good offer here but it's not in English and commentary just isn't the same without Roy Keane telling players they should be going to war!
