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

[igebotz]

Calm down... the news is Chelsea is tempting Xavi to go there, he will make a new atmosphere with the era of Barcelona's play.

We need someone more experienced and advanced to command respect; I'm bored with all theses modern coaches getting hired after getting sacked at their previous clubs. Xavi is not what we need right now, the Chelsea job is the most difficult position..

What happened to Conte, Mancini, Emery and the rest experienced managers.

Lol that would be too risky and stupid thing to do; I can't remember the last time we won against any big teams ( except Spur) - we still have a chance of finishing in top 6-7th place. It's best we continue to give our all until the Final.

We don't have our best so it's better we give what we have left. We've given our best in the last 7 and scored only one goal 

I do not think you guys should really rest your players, that is not always an effective strategy except done perfectly to still keep them match sharp (look at Atletico yesterday, one would not be able to tell their players all had the weekend off). But I really think you stand a better chance of beating City in a one off match then hoping on the off chance to turn your league form around and hope other teams lose theirs.

I am not sure you can call Spurs a 'big team' in the league after 2 seasons in a relegation battle. They may still be in the traditional big six but victories against them count for less and losses as upsets. You still host them before the end of the season, matches against teams in a relegation scrap are always tough after they were given something to bite on by Villa.

It’s a big honor for me to get the yellow leader’s cap in round 35. It wasn’t easy, but thanks to a bit of luck it worked out. Now I hope I still have a chance to fight for a top 10 finish in the final standings.

By the way, for those who’ve already won the yellow cap prize — will it be credited on the Sportsbet site?

Sportsbet.io used to give freebets to weekly yellow cap winners, but they stopped doing that after they left the forum.

Thank you for your reply, Sir! So the yellow cap prize is no longer paid out in any other way? Did I understand you correctly, Sir?

You understood it correctly. You won't get anything for your yellow cap.
It may be worth mentioning that there's only a 0.5 mBTC prize for the highest yellow cap and so far bullrunbro holds it with 21.5 points in round 7.

Yeah sadly we dont get nothing for yellow caps across all the past sportsbet sponsored pool. Its painfull when you think you are gonna get something but is a nothing burger.

About the Premier League itself, damn is gonna be a crazy final in the relegation batle and it happen maybe the best week in Arsenal history with the lost of points of Manchester City in monday and the win in the Champions League semifinal to reach the final for them.

As someone currently in 2nd place on the leaderboard, I think I’ve won around 3-5 yellow caps in this EPL pool, especially back when sportsbet.io was still giving weekly free bets to yellow cap winners. So yeah, it’s a bit frustrating to think about. If I’m not mistaken, each yellow cap used to give 0.001 btc x2 free bets.
It’s just unfortunate that things didn’t go well with Sportsbet.io and they stopped the promo.
They also had another onsite EPL promo before called Jackpot 5 League with $1,000,000 every league, where you just had to predict which side would have the better outcome from the given choices. That also stop.

For Manchester City they lost control although 1 point they can still get but this makes Arsenal get an advantage. Now it remains to see if the opportunity this time can Arsenal maximize especially the 2 point gap (if Manchester City manages to win in 1 postponed match) it can be crucial in the last 3 matches before the end of the season.

City have little hope left, as Arsenal have two games remaining against teams in the relegation zone and a game against Crystal Palace (also close to the relegation zone). Even if Arsenal draws any of their remaining games, they have every chance of increasing their goal difference (currently +4) and becoming champions.
By the way, the championship with 85 points will be one of the weakest in years, but still better by 1 point than Liverpool's last year

Crystal Palace situation is starting to get funny, i mean after years of being a complete nothing burger team of mid table they win their first title and in the very next season they are doing good in europe but now are in medium risk of making what the little teams make when they become champions which is relegation at the very next season or a few after.

No amount of rotation is going to help, our players looks unbothered and unmotivated at the moment - it's more of a psychological thing. That was the worse I've seen Palmer take a penalty in his Chelsea career.

We have a good chance against Manchester City but our goal scoring form scares me a lot. That's the problem.

Totteham are still traditional Top 6 teams in the league so yeah I'd still give them that position.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Last time a team turned up to Anfield with form like this, they took a point (Richarlison with a late equaliser).



I will be really annoyed if we don’t beat them Saturday.

I hope you guys somehow find your final form and City who have not been so good in finals have one of those days. There are two EPL matches after that one, if they lose, it could affect their form for those games.

You guys have to take extra care choosing your next manager and then back him up in the market and allowing him to make those transfer decisions. If the management keep doing more of the same the results will be the same.

Yeah, the standard pattern - a team attracts attention, key players leave for higher-ranking clubs, and the decline begins. But it was still worth it, a couple of titles after 100+ years without any is clearly better

I thought you were supposed to be hoping Chelsea would sack Slot more securely 
It's funny that Liverpool has a symmetrical record with Aston Villa, while Chelsea has a symmetrical record with Everton.

Well in fact when yesterday i was seeing the game between PSG and Bayern Munich i think to myself why Olisse plays so well in this Bayern Munich, i know he does good in Crystal Palace (i know he is not between the champion of FA team because he left one season early) but not at this level at all, now he seems really unstopable in the side.

And yes im with you we all prefer to at least win something.

The schedule for Arsenal at the end of this season is much better than Manchester City even though they have 4 matches but 3 of the 4 matches they will play even though they are favorites still the opponent will be a little inconvenient.
Brentford, Bournemouth and Aston Villa are currently dark horses and even their current position can be said to be very good for the size of a club sometimes in the mid table so this could be another problem for Manchester City.

By the way, the championship with 85 points will be one of the weakest in years, but still better by 1 point than Liverpool's last year 

This scheme is if Arsenal manage to sweep the last 3 matches but who knows, unexpected situations could happen .

But seriously, the last few seasons seem to have decreased in the EPL, whether this may be due to competitive factors or indeed clubs in the EPL are not very stable because the last 2 seasons must always be struggling at 80 points +.

Since Steve announced it, this promo has been discontinued, so whoever wins the Yellow Cap will not be given a freebet, is this the first time this situation has happened?
I hope next season the Premier league pool gets bigger sponsors... and this seems to be the only pool with the most participants.

I will be really annoyed if we don’t beat them Saturday.

Chelsea should not have been allowed to score at Anfield... The slots will take care of that.

Are you wishing us well or you're gaslighting us ?  no doubt a lot could happen at Wembley but logically we don't stand a chance; we've lost to many teams at their lowest point this season - we don't have our days..

I have no doubt about our next manager; is someone who's going to make us miss the previous one ( Liam) our club is being run like the Nigeria government - the new one make you miss the old ones.

What every Chelsea and Strasbourg fans want to see is change in direction by getting the proven players and not some kids with higher expectations.

Time for the Tottenham guys to come together and try get another win Honestly,,, I am at peace now and if we lose at home to a team we were supposed to be high high above, I am okay.

The other thing of course nice to know is Arsenal must also beat West Ham so,,, if everything falls in place we will have 1 game cushion. I just wish we played first tho,,, so we can win with no other thoughts!

Spurs lost... West Ham losing is equally advantageous, if you want more profit then you have to win against Leeds at home, while Leeds has a good victory.

I believe West Ham will be beaten by Arsenal because they continue to chase points so that Man City cannot catch up, it's just that now how far will Spurs unite tomorrow night? I myself have doubts about betting on Tottenham.
