I have 10 bucks on a long shot 8 game parlay at 10.38ish.  Lol.

Watford vs Leicester under 3.5, Brighton vs Arsenal under 3.5, West Ham vs Wolves under 3.5, Bournemouth vs Palacd under 3.5, Newcastle vs Sheffield United under 3.5, Chelsea ML, Everton vs LFC over 8.5 corners and City to win with 0:1 European handicap.

What do you guys think?

Well done to those who went for 1-1. Fair result I guess, especially after Pogba's introduction, the whole mood lifted but credit to Spurs they ran United close. Gotta say if Kane weren't Kane, I'd have subbed him at HT. Invisible, out of sorts, gave possession away, and just off pace. Was like they were playing 4-2-3-0.

@hilarious yeah I was almost as upset as Mou when the ref pointed to the spot. Not even United claimed for penalty (except Fernandez) and was funny to see every United fan on Zoom praying for VAR but it would have been a disgrace for it to get that wrong! You're right, fair point for both sides, even if United got lucky with the penalty, they would have scored on another day on this sort of game.

Spurs goal was great to make it 1-0, maybe De Gea should have done better though?

I thought he was at fault too, and he looked like he blamed himself too, it was a sting of a shot but a firmer hand would have pushed it away.

@big_daddy: I'm parlaying as usual, but probably with La Liga. Not sure. Already have one 4-legged one with favourites including Pool.

Seems reasonable, I don’t see why that bet won’t win. It definitely had a good chance, fingers crossed for you buddy. It’s the small things in life isn’t it but life is so much better with the football back.

Was looking forward to a point from the 0-0 draw on the Watford/Leicester game then Chilwell went and scored a screamer in the 90th minute. Even worse was tokeweed and hayhay (who is 0.5 points behind me) would have got the full three points. Then Watford's Dawson goes and scores an overhead kick in the last minute of play to get me the correct 1-1. Was a largely uneventful game until the last dying moments but both goals were great. I think a lot of the games will be close or potential draws today.

[tokeweed]

^  ^  One down, 7 to go.  

Anyway I thought I had an exact score in the bag when I checked the score online at exactly the 90th minute (don't ask, been tapping refresh every minute.  Lolol)...  Wtf happened?  

Edit:  Ah...  Thanks for the quick run down hilarious.

I had them both to score on my ticket and turned the TV off in disgust around 80th minute. Should have stopped watching sooner and the game would probably finished 3:2 for Leicester

Today is first time since the break I feel spoiled for choice. There is good games in all the major leagues and I just keep changing channels and streams.

[tomahawk9]

OMFG! and some people wanted the EPL to get suspended??? Pfff, what a way to resume the league!! 

Watford with the late goal, and now Brighton!!

Devastating for Arsenal tho...they can't catch a break: pathetic performance vs. City, David Luiz was sent off, Leno got injured today, and now this...i feel so bad for the fans 

[Ulven]

Arsenal is more pandemic than covid, Arteta survived coronavirus but it is David Luiz who will most certainly kill him, The Problem Of Arsenal Isn't The Coach But The Team Itself...the Team Needs Full Overhauling.
So my bet today went to the abyss, hoping that the wolves would make up for some losses

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

So I was not online for last two weeks but somehow I managed to make my picks on the other day and my bad luck is not leaving me. Out of last 6 matches I only two right picks and was only able to get 2.5 points so far LOL
I was thinking Villa vs Sheff and Watford vs Leicester as draw but it was too hard to go with draw for me. I wish I would. Arsenal sucks as usual 🤪

[panjul07]

What a bad start for me after the long break, got 1 exact 1 close and 5 wrong predictions till this time.
Leicester, Man. Utd, and Arsenal were the ones that I expected to give me some points (at least 1.5 point for close prediction) but the results are so unexpected.
It is like a start of a new season for the league, hard to predict. Frankly speaking, I do not really follow the latest news, updates, etc about EPL since the pandemic started.
All my predictions for the last 7 matches purely based on my own feeling lol.

Current Round 30 is really not good for many as I also lost too many few just because of not locked as I was thinking already locked but today right now checking and have this problem that few matches lost because I not press locked button.

[hilariousetc]

Arsenal are shit. Was going to get a point from the draw then they go and concede in the last minute of the game. Hayhay overtook me by 0.5 again. Today's games are another lot of hard to predict ones. Gone for provisional draws but might change them as I'm going for too many draws. I know if I change them though they'll probably come in  . My main concerns are can Liverpool and Chelsea pull off away wins. They should be able to but I'm not convinced, especially after being so long without play. Could be a rough start.

After long break I am trying to login in my account on www.superbru.com but they are not allowing me to login and I am fail to place my predictions feeling this first season is already end for me hopefully now I will be in for next season and try to part of this fun and enjoyment.

What's your username on there? Did you get it sorted? I saw a couple of users were getting some automatic points from deffered scores so maybe you didn't do as bad as you thought. Players get a handful of them if they miss picks.

[DeathAngel]

Lol @ hilarious, yeah Arsenal are a really, really low quality team, they’re miles off being a team capable of qualifying for the CL which should be their aim as a big club. It seems an eternity since Wenger was there winning the title.

[buwaytress]

Arsenal are shit.

Yeah, even before lockdown seriously, they been bagging me good odds.

Always said they don't know what they had with Wenger.

I'm of course confident on Chelsea/Liverpool to win away today, but like you said, we can never really tell how teams are until their first game post lockdown. That said, I am following Liverpool training and of course social media is social media but they've been looking sharp. Tammy Abraham now has Werner breathing down his neck (and performing miserably past 2 games) so he will want to impress. I'm looking at a strong 3-0 win for one of them!

@tokeweed so far so good on your 10/1. I already got my 95/10 yesterday thanks to good old Arsenal losing so I'm pretty happy. You got 4 more games to go, and where you're sitting at now looks good. Would you cashout if you book the Chelsea and Newcastle games?

I wouldn't say low quality.  I'd say they're a mid table club with some now mid table players who are getting paid too high.  Ozil comes to mind.

NUFC trying to mess up my parlay!  -_-

Edit:  It's still aliiiive!!!

Edit:  Wtf Chelski!  Lampard ought to give his boys the hair dryer rn.

Newcastle scored too many goals LOL
I had 2 - 1 win for them. So after the 2nd goal from them I was expecting Sheffs to score one goal so that I get 3 points but now the third goal from Joelinton has ruined my party 😜
Still I am hoping a single goal from Sheff to get at-least 1.5 points instead of 1 LOL

[big_daddy]

I have completely forgot to made the picks for those early games, A 3:0 for Newcastle was simply unreal to predict anyway
now I made my selection for Everton - Liverpool
I’m going with 0-2, very confident in this result

It was a long break and no surprise that some missed it. I was informed luckily and made my picks even when I was on holiday. Anyway, I gone with a 1 -3 win for Liverpool. In the Castle match, I was expecting a 2 -1 win for them. I wish I was right LOL

Anyway, full 3 points in Chelsea match and I can not complain so far.

[webtricks]

Couple of good results for me yesterday.

Man U vs Tottenham ended in 1-1 as predicted. But more surprising was Waford vs Leicester. I got 3 points in that one too. Watford is improving and I am expecting them to end up within top 15 as the season ends.

In Everton v Liverpool, Salah isn't in the starting lineup, surprise! Hope Minamino will show some promise today. Milner on LB, you can play this man anywhere. Any how, I expect this one to end as a draw with 2-2. It's surprising at only me and @Hilarious are going for draw. Everyone else is bidding on the win for Liverpool.

F you LOL
I am expecting a 1 - 3 win for Liverpool. I already have a good day today. Got 4 points so far from the two matches. I was very close on the Castle match. Instead of 3 - 0 if they would end up with a 2 -1 win then I could get 3 points instead of 1 lol

How do you know Hilarious picked a draw?
