I'm happy with this round so far. Superbru discouraged me from locking the pick of 1-1 in the match between Newcastle and Liverpool and said "you're picking quite an upset". However, the unlikely thing happened, and I got 3 points for this one. I just had a feeling that Liverpool isn't strong enough to win and that Newcastle can have a draw with Liverpool after they beat West Ham. My only regret is that I didn't place a bet on this match because the odds were probably great

^  Draw would prolly by around 3 - 3.5 and the double chance for Newcastle would prolly be the same more or less, maybe a tad lower.  I’m thinking the BTTS prop would’ve prolly paid nice too.

That's a solid decision that paid off for you, kudos!

Week in, week out, I keep backing Liverpool against these weaker sides hoping they'd eventually get it right and start producing positive results, but now it seems that's not going to happen for the rest of the season. It probably won't be too bad to go against them in 2 to 3 of the remaining 5 fixtures. However, the main task lies between choosing to go for a draw or lose.

Chris Wood hattrick! And the Adama show ends.

Nice one man, happy for you. 3 wrong picks of me and then I get the 3 exact points for a Sheffield Utd upset. Too bad I didn't bet the way I picked this weekend though. Couldn't really spend as much time to make picks so almost literally shot from the hip. Draw was only 3/1 though;)

Go for HT wins. It served me well for the last 2 matches, and gives you better odds, closer to 2/1 actually. Of course, I shoot myself by parlaying it with HT/FT wins;)

[swogerino]

Even this round that was with only 8 games showed quite some unexpected results and another round which led me to lose more points.I am already looking forward to the next round and I think there should be more than 8 games in that round which would give us a bit more possibilities to do well.This is coming to an end and has been very beautiful so far but still there are a few games remaining to win that yellow cap.

Great picks this round everyone!

How LOL
Liverpool 1 - 1
Wolves 0 - 4
Utd 0 - 0
and now West Brom are leading by 1 - 2

Stephencurry333 luckily managed to get two exact point which led him to score 7.5 so far. If it's a sarcastic post then indeed a great round for everyone 🤣

I am losing my interest from the pool LOL

I think he was being sarcastic. Most people did pretty badly but there was a lot of upsets. I thought this was going to be a zero-point round for me but luckily I got points from the draws on the last two games. Almost changed my Leeds score to a Man U away win as I thought the draw was risky but glad I stuck to my guns. Hopefully Bielsa will get a manager of the month award now to win me my bet. Leeds drew two and won two this month and grabbing points from Man City, Man U and Liverpool is no easy task. I think Man U and Newcastle were the only other teams unbeaten this month. Steve Bruce could be in the running for it though especially as they were fighting relegation. They also grabbed point from Liverpool. Only won month left now with 5 games to play.

The Leicester vs Palace may end up with a draw too meaning another upset is waiting for us. No one gone for a draw in this match LOL So far we have 7.5 points fron Stephencurry333 in this round which should consider as a low scoring round in this season.

Anyway, with 5 rounds to play I think in the pool we are getting close too except tomahawk9. He is 16.5 points ahead than bigdaddy who is at 2nd. Anyone who are in 6th to 10th position may have a very good chance to kicked out and some new could take their place. You have a very bright opportunity if we see some draw matches in the coming rounds. I usually suck picking draw matches and usually always take a side.

It's really not getting any easier, to be honest, teams playing for dire winning against team with everything to play for.

Nobody from the pool was able to hit double digits points, although there were just 8 matches for the round, but still more than half of the pool got below 0.5 pt per game.

I'm still 7th position, I just hope to still finish within the top 5

[swogerino]

I think I should get the wooden spoon in this round.Out of 8 games I managed to get 6 wrong,one result and one close.This is my all time low in points during this season.

[vd309]

I am getting destroyed this year, after 2 seasons in the top 5.

PS Do we have info on the Watford shirts, when does sportsbet.io will start shipping those?

[hilariousetc]

Don't forget there's a game on tonight. Can't be dropping points if you want to win a paid position and a lot of people miss out on these Friday games.

To be honest, anyone who got more than a few points did very well from that round. Mostly complete upsets.

You need to message jeremypwr or steve for them:

Hey everyone,

Steve wanted to make sure you guys were able to get a jersey for entering hilarious' pool.
So if you have NOT received a jersey this season (from any Sportsbet promo/contest/giveaway), here is what I need from you in a PM:

1) Preferred jersey (Arsenal, Southampton, Watford)
2) Jersey size

I'll pass the info along to Steve and he'll take it from there.

Thanks guys!

Is it just me or does Aguero look fat out there.  Lol.  I’m not sure if it’s my stream or what but the rest of the players look fine.  I mean seriously, he looks stocky and his legs look bigger than they did before.  

And it’s pretty interesting Pep played him at the no. 10 role with Jesus up front leading the attack.

Am on mobile but I had to try and find a decent stream to see for myself after seeing this haha but nah he has always looked a tad chunky when not on the field... Can't really tell though but he opened the scoring and does the job. Kinda like Suarez or even Cantona at times I remember. A bit chunky looking but still twisting and squirming like gods haha.

I do remember watching Lukaku at United and swearing he looked bigger and bigger and my son (the fan) kept insisting I was wrong until one day you simply couldn't deny it anymore!

[boltz]

Uhm he looks more round that he usually is but I think it's because he did not play for a long time. I heard he will leave the club in summer and he will also have a statue on front of the stadium like Toure has so it's a pretty big achievement for Aguero as with this, he will be forever in the history book of Manchester City and not a lot of players can say something like this.

No one gone for Villa, imagine they win tonight 🤣. By the way, 19 players gone with 2 - 1 win for Everton! I would be happy if they win by 3 - 1 or even lose the match, it's a tactical wish consider the position I have in the pool LOL

I went for a live Villa DBB at about 25/10, just moments before they scored... then of course got pegged back. I'm watching live text scores with some interest too because of the Blackjack challenge -- currently at 11 points with 30 mins to go, so we need a flurry of corners or cards I guess to see his through. Not looking very hopeful but yeah a Toffees win screws me in betting. I went for 0-0 so am already on 1.5 points, I suppose I won't mind losing those points for some betting wins.

I guess I saw it somewhere in some topic. Is this something from sportsbet.io? Lately I have unsubscribed from that thread of multi master so really don't get much news from sportsbet. I do visit their ANN sometimes but lost my interest to respond there.

Anyway, good luck with your bet. It's still 0 - 0 so on the pool you have a good chance but again it's fine to sacrifice those points if you win a bet 🤣

Yeah, a new challenge on this link (well, hardly new now that it's entered the 46th edition -- I believe one every day since it was launched 13th March).

They do run a lot of promos so can be hard to keep track but their ANN's where you'll hear about everything if you visit, you don't even have to respond just watch;)

And yep, got my win thanks to AeG. Small happy joy joy =)

Night lads. Looking forward to Liverpool - Utd tomorrow LFC_Bitcoin? I've cleared my evening!

Congratulations on winning brother. On the pool, no one got anything so technically you have not lost anything.

Night!
Looking forward to the big match tomorrow but I am not confident that we will win. Utd are better team than us and that's true considering the performance we are showing from last six months. Still, a win will be nice. We need a place in the next CL.
