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

[Trofo]

However, there's something quite confusing users who previously received the Yellow cap winner mentioned that they didn't receive the freebet reward. This makes me wonder perhaps some technical issues. Hopefully, we can get a recent update about this.

I don't think that's a technical issue. They just stopped giving freebets to yellow cap winners.
See Trofo's post on Serie A pool thread about freebets.

I will try to keep the free bets coming but there is no telling for how long. You are all now aware of the SB situation.

This post was made when freebets were still being credited.

I think there is another post from me when they actually stopped, probably in my La Liga thread. Can't find it now on mobile.

But I can confirm following for all SB sponsored pools. Main money should be on captains wallets and 100% safe, free bets have stopped and I don't think they will start again. I am expecting SB to close the doors sooner rather than later. They are still safe to play there, at least I am doing so but I am also looking for the site to replace them with.

Thank you Trofo for the clarification.
I just did a search and found this post. I guess that's the post you are talking about. Of course, it wasn't in the La Liga thread, but in the Serie A thread.

No more free bets but still we have best yellow cap award and curiusly so far you are getting it.

That is the one, everything before that one was paid and everything after that post wasn't. At least it should have been paid, if it isn't there is nobody left at SB that can pay it out anyway.

We all had great time with SB so I am sure nobody will complain too much for stopping free bets mid season. In my opinion they are the main reason we have what we have in the gambling section of this forum.

Big game today. I am pleased with the squad, looks like the most stacked the team has been in a while. The only addition into the first team will be Gabriel, but we should have enough in defense and attack to see this one through.

It is a tough away ground, but almost every ground is in the league, you have to push through this type of matches to be in and around the top come the tailend of the season.

COYG!!!!!!!!!! Let us go back top!

Manchester City with Haaland is unstoppable in Premier League at the moment.
This is going to be interesting battle with Arsenal for this year title, but I am really impressed with Aston Villa.

That was expected to happen with Sportsbet sooner or later, and I think they will start big website changes from January.
Replacing them with new casino is not going to be easy but there are candidates like Betpanda, Rainbet or Whale, and maybe something new shows up.

What the hell were Spurs doing today? That Simons tackle was really naive but at least that one was unintentional - Romero should know better than to act like that though.

I was really pissed off with Liverpool after that sending off though - we gave Spurs way too much and they ran through us with 2 less players.
I actually felt we'd concede and even though we won, I'd not say that it was a performance worth remembering.

That Ekitike goal is a foul 9 out of 10 times so yeah - lucky but I'll take it. 2 easy home games in a row now, let's build some momentum.

Totteham plays their worst football against top teams, it's not longer News. Different manager, same results. They're cursed.
PGMOL helping Liverpool make top 4 is well noted. Different rules for Liverpool.

Everton got robbed - how was that penalty not awarded to them?

[BABY SHOES]

As it is Liverpool are back on track they did today over Tottenham despite a lot of controversy... don't know maybe if Simons hadn't been red carded early on maybe the game might have been a bit different.

Just happy Liverpool won means we're ready to get back into the title race hahaha.

Going forward Liverpool against Wolves, Leeds should be easy to pick up points.

[buwaytress]

Sick performance from Liverpool and I mean like sick in the head like me. No time to watch but happy to see we won, though the Isak and Bradley injuries won't go down well with the health team. How we almost dropped points against Spurs sans two.

And did Arsenal deserve the win? Can't tell as didn't watch but they must have.

[slaman29]

Wowoow big teams winning and Arsenal surely top for Christmas, a big sign of Champs!!

So which guy gonna go to Saudi first?

What are you talking about if even open scams are normalized? Like when the rat Isak refuses to fulfill a contract, but instead of being sued, fined, stripped of his license, etc., he ends up getting what he wants? To be honest, I have no complaints about either Salah or Fernandes in this context. No player is bigger than the club, but why shouldn't they defend their interests (without breaking the law)? They may be crybabies, but that's not prohibited, inflated egos are the norm in top sports.

Isak the rat was not the first person to do it, thats the big problem. You know when one guy does it and it goes unpunished like you said, becomes normalized.

How a club still buy a player like that after what he did makes no sense. Especially the club is Liverpool who understand how shitty its to be the other side.

I wish there was a club or group that would follow through and prosecute such a player, even to the point of license revocation and (hopefully) jail time. But I don't think that's likely.
As for Liverpool, they've gotten dirty, yes. Thank goodness that since I support any team against City (as long as United aren't in the running), this season Arsenal is fighting for the title, not Liverpool. It would be a shame if the entire title race was a hate watch for me. I'm not sure I can handle it if Arsenal lose the title again 

[buwaytress]

Heh KTChampions. Even I'm still trying to acclimatise to being one of the splash teams. I suppose the first time will always make a club giddy and unsteady. Miss the days of being the underdogs but hey, time to experience being a spender, and being hated by all (I was too young and too late to last experience the 1980s and before that!

Manure pooped again. Hooray...

They will set a new record of keeping the championship position and giving it to another club in the last 4 seasons if this season Arsenal fail again lol.

Now the signs are there how Arsenal have gone a little further but instead they are back to feeling things they shouldn't and this cycle has been repeating itself for the last few seasons.

For the problem of competition in the current championship the chance is still there for any big club for me (including Liverpool) 10 points behind Arsenal now but we still have half the season left. Although the chance is difficult but it is still there depending on the condition of Liverpool itself but now the improvement is happening, at least they have made some matches better and avoided defeat.

What a conviction is to be a Spurs fan for all of those who are, damn they are always losing against the big teams and they lose badly or lose like the other day just inch away from an epic comeback. But in the end they lose.

They need to do something deep to change that fate of the team.

I lose some steam in the pool this round, i was expecting a draw between Fulham and Nottingham.

The performance is very unpredictable, they could lose emphatically to Forest and then push Liverpool all the way with 9-men. But you are right that wins are necessary, after the finish of last season the club will not want to finish in the bottom half again.

I backed Forest but they were toothless all game.

You are not doing bad since you are in top 10 in leaderboard, but next three rounds can change things a lot in this pool.
I have to say again that I am impressed with Aston Villa, and I think they can do something against Chelsea in next round.
It would be a miracle if they won the title in Premier League, but they are only 3 points away from Arsenal.

Odds for Manchester city title winner looks good more than ever now that Semenyo is joining next month - they have been lacking someone with an output at the LW so long.

Chelsea 3/1 odds to finish in top 3 also look very generous but I hate long season outright bets unless I'm placing something on 50+ odds.

Sorry for late reply, but I kinda agree here. Players seem to sue clubs all the time for shitty things. Can you imagine Chelsea getting sued now for asking players to train alone WTF. They paid the salary for them not playing is not enough?

Two rich clubs fighting in England is terrible, we don't need Barca and Real again.

That is what made me respect Liverpool and Arsenal for so long. Small money but still making life hard for City and Chelsea and United Now unfortunately Liverpool left that zone.

Yeah I think this are very good odds, and I am not sure if Arsenal can keep winning this way for the rest of the season.
They have great defense but most of their matches are very boring to watch, and they score so many goals from corners.

Chelsea 3/1 odds to finish in top 3 also look very generous but I hate long season outright bets unless I'm placing something on 50+ odds.

I think Aston Villa can finish in top 3, but it depends how long they stay in Europa League and balance different competitions.

I think Arsenal dosent have that mentality to hold on to that first place and win the title. They have a good team and i agree with you their defence and scoring from corners is their main weapon,but they are slowly dropping points,they need to go on a big winning streak if theh want to win the title finally.

Man City on the other hand cannot be stopped currently and is taking every single advantage that Arsenal gives them and i think at the end of the season  Man City will win the title because they know how to win it.
