Newcastle - City was fun game to watch, despite that City were without main players. 7 goals, Newcastle leading twice, hattrick of Ferran Torres. Also, today Ederson was replaced by 35 year old Scott Carson - it was his first game in EPL since 2011. Not bad .

hilariousetc, maybe I missed something, but are you going to make prediction pool for EURO 2020? I see it's already available on Superbru. There is a bit less than month left, so, if we want to get enough participants, it would be good to start it soon. If we will start it week before Euro or something similar, it will be diffcult to get many participants. This season he had very few participants in Champions league pool and it wasn't very fun. It would be good to get at least 20 participants for EURO.

Some tough games to pick today and most look like draws or should be pretty close.

I didn't watch it but wish I did now. I cashed out this bet for £281 with 10 minutes to go but I only needed one more City corner to get me £450 which they actually got in the second minute of injury time. Didn't want to take the risk though as I was £80 down this season and I would have been very antsy and probably panicked and cashed it out for very little at 90 mins:



They're worth putting on if you think there's going to be a lot of goals. Won a handful of them now. They're not normally that high odds though. Usually 100-250/1 etc.

Yeah, I will do, but the CL and International comps never seem to do as well as the others in terms of sign-ups. The lower prize pool is probably a turn off as well.

^  HOLY...  Nice!  If was in your shoes I’d be betting 10 - 30 bucks on those or try to get at least 1k.  

Anyway what about this Leeds squads eh..  I think a couple more transfer windows they could get a Europa League spot and a couple more after that they could go on to compete for top 4 in the league.  If Bielsa stays that is.  And if they spend some cash.

Edit:  hilarious, did you wait for the line ups before making those bets?

Well that would be a good way to lose my bankroll pretty quickly haha. If I win big on another one I might step them up a bit on games where I think there might be a goal frenzy. Sometimes I put my free £5 bet on them but I haven't won with any more than a quid on them I think. They're great odds but they're also hard to come in. It's often the corners that screw you but both teams scoring in each half is also a big ask. You'd think a team would have at least 2 corners a half but many times they don't and it nearly didn't happen with City in the second yesterday. I usually put them on with the both teams to score and one to win with the 4 total corners and 2 cards each as well just to cover myself a bit and that one came in as well as shown above so you can double up on winning bets.

And yeah, Leeds have been impressive though inconsistent. I thought that they'd be fighting to survive this season but they've done very well. If they can keep their squad together they could easily be fighting for Euro spots within a season or two. They're going to have a hard time keeping Raphinha though and Kalvin Philips is destined for bigger things and I think it's only a matter of time before he moves on. I think the only thing keeping him there is he's a Leeds lad. I could see him at a squad like Man City within a few years. Meslier is great as well. I think he could be France's number one eventually. I'd be surprised if he doesn't go as well. They need a new striker and another strong defender. Bamford is so inconsistent. Sometimes he's great and other times he barely does anything or gets a look in. He's impressed me overall but they need someone stronger to play alongside him.

Leicester are the FA Champions, I would not say it's not a deserved victory, but Chelsea deserve better too, imo.

Could this be the beginning of an heartbreaking end to the season for Chelsea fans, I mean imagine losing both finals and dropping out of the top 4, what could be more wrenching?

[TwitchySeal]

woohoo, won a $50 free bet from the 4-3-Free promotion

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

This is a win in a few thousand! Congratulations to make this huge gain. Even bitcoin has not gained that much in the last few months 🤣

By the way, in the West Ham match I was not able to get any point but I am super happy that they lost two points with this draw. Liverpool still can hope for fourth place.

[kryptqnick]

hilariousetc, congrats on huge wins!
It's exciting that the season and the competition is almost over, and I feel like predicting the outcomes became way harder because underdogs are now fighting hard to finish decently. The last round was terrible for me, and there were many outcomes which had less than 25% expectancy rate in this competition. This round has clearly been more in accordance with expectations of participants so far, and I also got lucky with the Brighton - West Ham draw prediction.
How about you? Do you think we'll see significant changes in the top-10 by the end of the season?

I'd be surprised if Chelsea beat City in the CL final. I know they won their last two games against them but I think City will be taking this a lot more seriously. Either way I couldn't be less excited about that match. I would have been had City won the FA Cup but a domestic CL final is never great.

It gets trickier when there's nothing to play for for most teams and a lot of them will start fielding weaker teams to give players a game. City have already won the PL and Fulham West Brom and Sheffield are all relegated so they won't really care what results will happen. The teams from 3rd to 9th are still contending for the Euro spots so they're the only teams that will probably be fighting for points. As for the pool table it's still quite close at the top from second down to tenth+ and the people outside of that are all fighting for a spot and a bad vs good week can shift the table a lot. tomahawk9 would probably have to have two very bad rounds for someone to catch him but that buffer he has will come in useful even if he does.

You won't alone there will be a lot of football fans who will not believe this result. I don't think Chelsea will even be able to challenge the real City team. Last two for in PL for City they had nothing to gain or lose so obviously they have not used their full strength but CL final is different thing. In fact, they are saving energy for CL final for sure.

By the way, in Palace vs Villa match I had no hope, but anyway it's good to have one point than nothing LOL

This round we have so many goals so just before starting the Tottenham match I have gone with 3 - 1 for Tottenham. Before I had 2 - 1. Hope I do not regret 🤣

There wouldn't have any difference btw, you would have ended up with 1.5 points eitherway... I was able grab all 3 points.

Now it's the LFC lad turn, they don't want mess this up though.

EDIT: It was Allison to rescue but not at his own goal post, would you believe that ? I sometimes see goalkeepers coming out at the very last set piece of the game when in need of goal needless but this is one of those occasions where it surely matters.

[buwaytress]

VERY nice payouts hilarious! Just the sort of thing I'd do if I had access to Sky (and still love the British bookies for all their promos) although I have to say I do try to get some nice boosts on Sportsbet -- just that they don't really have those Betbuilder bonuses (you can do your own but the odds actually don't get the same value as if you try the same options manually) not that it stops me from doing BB anyway!

Liverpool over 7.5 corners best single value at 21.10?

Your days age going well, I was happy with the one and half point though 😉

We were almost losing everything. Trust me I was annoyed seeing all those chances are missed, was heavy hearted, lost all hope. But that moment when Alisson sent the ball back of the net, it was not more satisfying than anything else. Considering the pressure it was one of those great goals.

A draw in the Chelsea vs Leicester would be nice on Tuesday. 😉

I forgot to post the t-shirt I got from sportsbet for entering the competition. It's match worn from Carabao Cup game on 22 of Sept - Newport vs Watford.



Btw I won the yellow cap this round, wasn't there a prize for that too 

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Nice Shirt!

That's you? Congratulations. If I am not wrong, you are the guy from last year who beat me in the last round? What happened to you in this session?

Any result is good for Liverpool, because at least one of the teams above them will drop at least 2 points,,, but I do not think they want either team. Leicester just beat Chelsea, and Chelsea is in the final of Champions League,, so clearly the league table has not lied that they have performed much better than Liverpool over the course of the season.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more but, there are still two rounds the go and the points differences in the leaderboard are only marginal between 2-7, a couple of wrong foot one could be all the way down.

There should be, you'll probably get it in the next few days, (I still await mine from the last round though, probably due to the weekend and holidays)

Yeah, that's me. What do you mean, what happened? I am solid in top 40  How are you doing this season, what's your username in Superbru.

Haha you are thriving there, good for you.
I am trying to keep myself active so that they don't kind me out from top 10 LOL
It's famLFC

I worry the same. One wrong round can kick me out from top 10. I don't expect a place is top 5 by any means by the way. Gave up the hope long ago.

You’re jinxing it, right?    And we all know City chokes at these big crucial matches.  i’m rooting for them to win, I’m going to bet on them to win but I wouldn’t be too surprised if we see City in their ‘off day’ at the final.
