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

We equalised soon after I switched off. Might actually just try that for the next run of games til Boxing Day. Maybe I dejinx my own team. Hard to find things to say during this run. Diogo's birthday too.

Wirtz isn't catching a break, that was a beautiful goal own goal 

Prefer to just let it pour this season. Wipe out all the bad juju, and then maybe it's a stronger side next one.

You are thinking to swap places with someone else in premier league pool?
I can consider purchasing if you can make reasonable offer, but this first needs to be approved by pool owners.
My position in 25th, so I am not at the bottom of leaderboard and I have some chances to finish in top 10.

This also means you need to make predictions from his account if this deal is approved I guess? sounds pretty much hassle there

I love the idea of noblox1 cause at least I'm still in this pool but yeah notblox1 suggestion is kinda make it complicated. It would be better if someone not from the pool will buy my spot..
I'm still waiting for the pool owner which is @hilariousandco (correct me if I'm wrong) about this and hoping allow this since I think I can't see any problem with this.. It is just changed hands.. I really don't want this to happen it is just I really need some funds right now.

He's the second Harry Maguire in as many seasons to make a mistake.
 And damn it, how long will Liverpool be like this? Pelu Arne Slot #OUT?

The lack of cohesion in almost every line of the partnership (perhaps because of the adaptation problem that is always used as an excuse) makes Liverpool's performance less erratic until now because even though they are very good in terms of ball possession but when the finisher and defense are disorganized everything will look useless.

The statistics of the match against Sunderland we can see a pretty far comparison actually where from ball possession, the chances they created and the determination of Liverpool's attacks always looked much more dominant but when looking at the comparison between the shots they took with the on target they got it was pretty bad for a big club with the defending champion title.

hmmm Arne Slot out looks a interesting, but can this condition help restore the situation? because this is also a gambling move later.

When Manchester United stop to being this shit? I mean how many time are they gonna keep doing this behavior, and with behavior im refering to making good games against the top teams and losing points against the weakers ones of the league, is just incredible how they cant beat the most shitty teams of the league.

Yes, if it weren't for those incredibly stupid draws with outsiders, United would easily be in second place. And I can’t say the same about other teams - if they lose points, they do so by confidently losing.
Perhaps it's the "even" competition in the Premier League that's to blame? There are only seven points between second place and 14th. By comparison, in the La Liga, there are 11 points between these positions, 16 in the Bundesliga, and 15 in Serie A.

In different system maybe not sure he's going to be more than he is already in this current system- funny how he has played 9 games more than Palmer this season and I'm still leading in our G/A side bet   


Only 3 points separating 1st - 10 places in the pool Damn it

This is not going to happen this season 
I dont see them finishing in top four places in the end of this season that are important for Champions League.
There are news about them working on signing new players in January transfer window, so that could improve their results to some extent.

[buwaytress]

Sunderland over 10/1 to win, surely bookies are joking?

Haha, yeah ours was a cursed sidebet from Day 1. Cole boy just getting rested and happy and doing Christmas gigs while Wirtz boy saving up for Germany and doing nothing for us. Feel bad for the guy, genuinely working hard and getting no joy.

I'm now just watching every game I can with little feeling left. Going through the motions.

[un_rank]

Villa park is a really tough place to visit, I just saw a stat they only lost against us at home all of last season. I was hoping Saliba will make it to the team or the squad but we have to trust Timber in RCB and White in RB. Good thing is Rice starts and Trossard comes back into the team.

If we can win this, we have a UCL game that should give us an opportunity to rest some players and get them fit for the game next weekend.
Time to step it up today, COYG!!!

Hi guys 

Right now the battle for the top 10 — and for the title — is insanely tough. Only six points separate first place from tenth. Manchester City, Liverpool, Newcastle, Chelsea, and Tottenham are seen as the favorites this week, and most tipsters will probably bet on them. But the Premier League is super unpredictable — favorites drop points against underdogs all the time.
Let’s see how things play out this weekend.

Good luck to everyone in this round!

This was a good day for home teams in Premier League, with all home wins except in Chelsea match.
I expected some trouble for Arsenal against Aston Villa and I predicted 1:1, that was true until goal in stoppage time for Aston Villa.
xlays continues to kick ass in this pool, and I continue to sink further down the leaderboard

3 exact, 2 close and 1 wrong is pretty amazing xlays. He was even right by being at Aston Villa when the match was in the condition that Arsenal was the favorite in this match.

It's been a pretty bad week for me with 7 games and only 4.5. I want to curse at myself this week but hopefully the last 3 games will be good.
What I'm worried about in the remaining matches is Manchester United because they always make a breakthrough that is sometimes not too unexpected and difficult to predict

[xLays]

My prediction in this pool and my live bet were different. For the Newcastle United vs Burnley match, my pool pick was 2-1, but in betting I took Newcastle United -1.5. That’s why I felt bad when Burnley scored a penalty in stoppage time. I lost my live bet because of that, but it was still fine because that goal helped me hit the correct score in this pool.

Almost all my live bets were home picks and most of them won. The only one that ruined it was Chelsea vs Bournemouth. I didn't place bet on Liverpool vs Leeds United..

Let me know if someone is interested buying my progress in this EPL pool. You can DM me here or telegram @ekslays

[buwaytress]

Pretty damned impressive from the Villains. Started the season poorly, Emery looked lost at sea, Watkins plumbing the depths of anonymity, and then now being the most in-form team in the league. Liverpool? They're shy to take 4th spot, it seems. Just throwing it all away, I knew our summer moves were going to disrupt. I had no idea it would get to this level...

You're selling your account on Superbru or just selling everything everywhere? Just lost interest or? Just hope that everything's all right, is all.

I had the same 2-1 correct result and when i saw that it was 2-0 and Burnley had a red card i was thinking it was impossible for 2-1 but that penalty was pretty lucky in the last minutes of the game,goalkeeper o most saved the penalty and was so happy when they scored and finally got a correct result. I was happy with chelsea going draw got few points there aswell so a good week for me so far. Aston Villa killed me with that goal had a correct result and they scored in last minutes and i dont know how many times i have to lose all my points in last minutes of the game

Imagine the results of the cash bettors in this round. I thought Aston Villa had already gone too far and it would be logical to assume a return to normality in the game against Arsenal, but they even managed to win. The same with Liverpool - Liverpool have already gone too far and lost too many points even in an easy series against weak teams, so it seemed like they should definitely have 3 points against Leeds, but they conceded 3 goals and got a draw.
Bournemouth - Chelsea 0-0? It's not clear what that was either.
I have a complete feeling that I have lost the "feeling" of the tournament.

I think I cannot sell my whole Superbru account because I also joined other sponsored pools like the EFL Championship. I will only give the email and password to the buyer and let him make the EPL predictions, and I will no longer be involved in that (or if he want I can do prediction for him). If someone buys it, I will of course announce here who the buyer is and if he wins, the prize will be sent to him. OP advised me that it depends on what we (buyer and me) agree on and that selling should be fine. There should be no problem as long as I inform this pool (OP and the one involved of the prizes distribution) who bought it so the prize can be sent to the right person/buyer in case  win.

[un_rank]

Just looked at City's next couple of matches, they all look very winnable which will allow them build some good momentum. I hope that does not happen but it is obvious now that the title race is on and they are the top contenders.

I would have wanted Arsenal to field fringe player for our UCL match, but it is important to get back to winning ways as quickly as possible to shake off this loss. This would have to be a platform to get a series of consecutive wins too.

OP advised me that it depends on what we (buyer and me) agree on and that selling should be fine.

Would it matter if it is an active player in the pool who would then have two player accounts?

As much as possible, I will not sell this to someone who is already in the pool, to avoid any issues with having two entries or accounts in the same pool. But if you ask me, it shouldn’t really matter because it is basically the same as buying two entries (the difference is the progress).. Still like I said, I won’t sell this to user who is already part of this pool.

I’ve already received some messages from people interested in buying my spot. I’ll announce here if the deal pushes through. If I don’t make any announcement, that means I’m still the one using..

Buying your position is a huge gamble considering how the prediction pool works but that's btw- are you asking back your sign up fee or you have something in mind? Tell us.

If i can afford you - I'll keep you to continue doing what you're doing at the top  bear in mind that I was there for like 3-4 weeks and I know how easily it is to drop.

Kept one cleansheet from last six games ; it looking more like the entire Arsenal defensive structure is built around Gabriel this season.

The league is demonic - you lot went too hard this season and are only 2 points from Manchester city. Crazy
