^  Lol.  You weren't kidding there.  Just made my pick and saw you pick 2 - 2. 

Examplens picked 0 - 3...  And judging from how hot he's been running, that could be the right pick.

@buwaytress - I’m thinking about booking a weeks holiday to Turkey around the time it’s the CL Final because it’s in Istanbul. If we don’t make the final, whatever. If we do it’ll be much cheaper to get an internal flight from the resort area to Istanbul

Not going to tell my girl but it’s something I’ve been thinking about.

I just looked online and you're actually a genius. My partner might kill me if I go ahead though, since we've got a big trip already planned in summer to visit family after 3 years, but, it actually even looks sort of doable for a long weekend... but perhaps better to do the Anfield visit instead. I really wish I could sort dates out cause I want to go badly haha.

@hilarious: yeah I don't want to second guess Klopp, he got us to where we are and he knows better than most the weight of expectations... I do wish we'd have gone through cause the FA cup is definitely winnable, and yeah a possible double or treble will make this season incredible. But okay, maybe he does actually secretly (and so do I) want to get that invincibles record -- which will be talked about forever (even the Gooner's one will of course but for Liverpool to do it the way they will if the do, gods all the ifs haha)...

I'm not sure which I'd take. The treble (which yeah if you include the Super Cup and CWC makes it even more special)?

Or breaking the points total and being the new invincibles and possibly being the team to talk about for many lifetimes? I mean, it's silly to dream of a 112 points haul that will probably never ever be broken, but if you kept the first 11 fresh as possible, it's "only" 15 wins away ha ha ha.

I kinda hate that I'm dreaming all this now haha. But bloody hell, I'm entitled, aren't I? Anfield already gave in and started singing, so why not enjoy =p

@buwaytress - I sorted myself a ticket for the Chelsea game last night (it’s the game we will get the trophy, providing we don’t collapse).

Normally go with my brother or my girl but I didn’t get one on my fan card so having to use a ticket tout & they’re charging a lot. So my girl can stay in the hotel & I’ll go to the game on my own.

I can’t miss the chance to see us lift it.

Regarding a potential CL Final if you go to any beach resort it’s probably £400 each for a week including food & drink (all inclusive) it’s really nice & then you can get a cheeky 1 day flight to Istanbul

I’ve been to Turkey twice but I can’t remember where, would have to ask the woman. It’s really hot though!

Could be a bluff to throw people off  . Maybe they put them in and change them before the game (as many probably change their mind last minute anyway). A few people always seem to leave the picks right until the last minute before they put them in as well. BitcoinSupremo, Avirunes & LTU_btc all haven't done them yet.

The Carabao cup was even more winnable and a win would have taken them in to the semis to face Leicester. I know it's not as prestigious as the FA but it's a trophy they could have easily won and now City are probably gonna win that.

The treble is far more prestigious and difficult to do than the Super Cup. If my calculations are correct then Liverpool need to win 11 out of their remaining 15 games to equal Man City's 100 point record.

Yeah, you're right, usually I leave my predictions very late. Once I almost forgot about games and left prediction 1 minute before kick-off .
I still not decided about tomorrow game. I'm thinking about 0:3 or 1:3 LFC win.

Well, for the Carabao cup we had to choose between that one and the World champions. I prefer the world champions because that's the one we never won before and Carabao cup is in my opinion the least important trophy of the season. I don't mind at all that we gave a low priority to it.

Regarding the FA cup, I have mixed feelings. We are playing at home and we could have decided to go with backup players who are in need of games anyway, they would have probably gotten us through. I kinda dislike the situation in which Klopp sits at home and lets Neil Critchley lose heavily as well. I think that giving players a rest is deserved, ok, but Klopp should be in the dugout. Shrewsbury deserved it with the comeback, this is really disrespectful to them.

Today we have the postponed match West Ham vs. Liverpool
Make your predictions on time

The last result was 1-1, today I’m confident in Liverpool’s handicap win and will bet on that too
(-0.5 handicap)
There should be over 2.5 scored goals as well

This is a middle week worth of watch match

Not necessarily. There's about 30 players in the squad so he could have sent either a b-team or split them evenly so you've got two decent teams rather than send a bunch of schoolboys. I think even a b-team of their current squad would have won or at least done better than the kids. As for the cup itself, sure, it's not the most coveted but the Super Cup or whatever it's called isn't really either. Just another cash grab for FIFA really. I doubt people will be mentioning the win a few years from now, but couple it with multiple other trophies they would.

I hope he just made those comments in the heat of the moment after being annoyed by having to play yet another game because Klopp not turning up to the game if he can is pretty disrespectful. I'd give him a pass if he's got a vacation booked or something. I wonder what the players think or whether some of them actually want to play it. I know there's a big break so some of them might be going on vacations as well but I'm sure there's a lot of players who would be happy to play.

I didn't realise the last game was a draw. I was tempted to go for 1-1 on this but I'll probably still go for the narrow Liverpool win. A lot of people seem to think Liverpool will stuff them but I'm not so sure. Guess it depends on the team that gets put out.

Last result 1:1 is from 4 Feb 2019. In this period, many teams play draw against Liv, they loose title because of these results.
Maybe I am wrong, but I really think that West Ham can't score against Liverpool, not today and not this team. I watched his last game against Leicester, which they lost 4:1.

I picked 1:3
This is a game of “big numbers”
Liverpool is playing a fantastic season up to this stage, but there will happen that will lose some points and recieve a few goals, is written in the stars

You remind me of his last result and when I check his last five matches. Now I am thinking 3 or 4 goals, Liverpool, to score.

Oh, it was last season. I thought it was from the beginning of this one. That changes things then. Like I said, I probably won't go for the draw anyway, but I just have a feeling Liverpool are going to lose a couple of points to some shit team away at some point. West Ham fighting to stay out of the relegation might give them that extra boost as well, though even if it did maybe they're still no match for Liverpool. The line-ups will decide what I go for but I'll probably stuck with 0-1 unless Liverpool put out a fairly weakened team. I was going to watch the game but I see the Manchester City - Manchester United EPL semi final is on at the same time and I think seeing City stuff United will be more enjoyable  . The reverse fixture was 3-1 so I can't see anything other than another City win here.

Well, good thinking, I will also play over goals scored, but it's better to catch a bigger price on total goals scored by Liverpool than the total goals scored

[big_daddy]

@examplens
Look at this ACCA with goals & Liverpool to win 



Maybe too much, but I played just that one 

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Back again after few days break. I did not have much football all these days. Was real busy with some personal assignments.

So ultimately I have done the damage for me in the pool? After several consecutive bad rounds I am paying my price of going down to the 4th place. I am seriously sucking on my picks from long days.

You remind me of his last result and when I check his last five matches. Now I am thinking 3 or 4 goals, Liverpool, to score. 

I am expecting at least 2 goals from Liverpool in this match. And gone with a 0 - 2 win for Liverpool.

Which bookies?

This one is from a Ladbrokes inshop betting machine, but online I'm usually doing this kind of accumulators on bet365
If there is a crypto bookie that has acca's let me know please

I thought the same but was not sure that it was Ladbrokes.

As far as I know no online bookies offer anyone to make selection from same match in an acca unless they have any special market combining with several different market from a same match like sportsbet do for Watford specials.

[buwaytress]

Agree with hilarious here. Full of mad respect for Klopp and I've always known him to be a super cool/geeky, respectful guy. I know if he misses the game, it was for other reasons, and not because he disrespects the FA or Shrewsbury. To be fair, yeah, the winter break is a new thing and everyone deserves to have already made plans and NOT cancel them to play football. And I know myself how family will kill me if I suddenly had to go do something for work (unless it was life or death) so I'm sure he said those things because he was angry at the replay date.

But yeah, to just not show up because you don't want to, would be a disservice to Shresbury if not anyone else. And I know Klopp's not like that.

Anyway! Damn tonight. Of course I'm watching West Ham get hammered... but I would have liked to be able to watch the Manchester derby too. Anyone here bet on United again? 10/1 the last time around, not so much this time but still got it parlayed with Liverpool for almost 12/1.

@big_daddy nice bet! I have strangely only one parlay waiting for tonight at almost 6/1: Just beer money. Been a really good run of Liverpool parlays, am expecting me to hit a bad spot soon but hey if we keep winning...



And yeah, too bad no crypto bookies with your kind of same-game lines. Even the fiat one I have access to in this country doesn't let you do too many like that.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

That's a nice one and I hope Liverpool do not mess up in the last one and you win your slip. I too will go with Liverpool as I always do in every matches. Just waiting for good moment as I love betting on in play time LOL
By the way, I am not gambling on City - Utd match. Lately I do not trust any of these teams. LOL

Bet365 does, it’s called ‘Multiple Options’ button
I’m on mobile so I cannot provide you screenshots, but if you have an account there, just take a look
It’s not so difficult to find
