⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Italian Serie A ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread 2023/2024

[KTChampions]

I had a bet on Milan ML and this is first time in a long time that I won bet on Serie A that wasn't my usual BTTS. If only I did not change my pool prediction from 1:2 to 0:2 it would be even better.

Lost my first ticket on Inter BTTS, mainly because of Handanović saves, Torino plays good football and I am expecting them to fight for European places this season.

The first three games of this tour in Serie A were really surprising - all favorites won, although in all three games the result looks like a suffered miracle, and not the usual result for teams fighting for the title. I also made a profit from Italian teams for the first time in a long time (while Bayern and PSG failed).

What can you say about tomorrow's games of Atalanta, Juventus and Roma? None of them has the right to lose. But someone will definitely lose points (in Serie A it doesn’t happen otherwise).

Nice round off KTC!

@Harko casper Trofo

Well, seems like most of us got almost everything right in this round, so far all my bets have ridden quite well also, but I won't count my chickens till they hatch, hopefully I don't get a letdown

Do agree Torino will push for Europe, but I'm just waiting for Napoli and Atalanta to disappoint us, Lazio will no doubt also want in on some of the letdown action heh heh. Tough wins, back to regular low-scoring mode maybe, BTTS didn't work out much last night huh.

Can you believe Salernitana are only 76/10 to win tonight? Sign of Juventus weakness?

Lazio keeper Maximiano on the bench is costing me basically $50 a week + eventual card in missed rewards from Sorare platform, I cannot believe that he end-up benched due to handling in first round after six minutes

cannot watch them atm, really

nevertheless, last night was as expected as it can be, but whole season so far is, almost all pool participants have 10+ per round average points

Good old Atalanta, the moment you choose to believe them, that's exactly when they choose to turn on you and let you down big time! I still find it hard to understand how they couldn't win today :/

It's my start to the season in the leaderboard, I'm as many as almsot 20 points away from the top spot, and 4 position away from the bottom of the table, and it's not getting any better in this round, I'm barely coming by with a few of those 1.5 points.

I would blame the bookies for how they've rated Juventus lately to be honest, It's a clearly reflect of what the Juventus squad is all about right, I mean when you like at their lineup these, bar a couple of known names at the backline, it's almost like Juventus are playing with their u23 team, except for Bonucci that's an household name for the club, and Cuadrado that has been there for while too, every other name seem rather so strange that one could easily argue if it's Juventus that's actually playing.

[buwaytress]

^ Haha yeah, and might as well add Juve to that list too (but I have faith in them in UCL group stage at least!). Which also reminds me, going about last night's red-card extravaganza, wonder if other than BTTS, red cards could be of value in some of these games? Old Lady complaining about VAR so maybe controversy needs to be shared in leagues other than EPL, huh?

Red card market though (sending off), tonight's Roma who just got hammered in the last game? Why not?

[KTChampions]

Nice bet!   But it may not work because if everything goes well for Roma then Mourinho will not get a red card

What can you say about tomorrow's games of Atalanta, Juventus and Roma? None of them has the right to lose. But someone will definitely lose points (in Serie A it doesn’t happen otherwise).

So, two out of three have already lost points, let's be optimistic and assume that Roma will avoid this fate   Perhaps I will not be greedy and take a simple victory of Roma - with a boost, the odds are very decent - 1.74.
In any case, this week has been unusually successful for me.

[darxiaomi]

What a piece of shit its Juventus for me, always when i bet on them they make the impossible to destroy my bet, no matter what i pur in the bet, they only find the way to make me lose, its one of the teams i most hate in  betting world.

They with Man utd are the most shit for me. And im and idiot to keep betting on them.

[casperBGD]

~snip

yeah, Juventus is a real piece of shit, playing home with Salernitana and could not win, and it is not 0:0, and you think Salernitana played tough defense, it is 2:2
I do not bet on them, and Atalanta to win for a long time now

Roma is up in first half, and they should win tonight, after being smashed from Udinese, but looking at Serie A so far, a lot of expected results

Don't be pissed at Juve today, they did their part and scored 100% regular goal in 96th minute. Unfortunately VAR room is filled with idiots that are unable to count players and they missed Salernitana player who was standing in a wall to defend corner. He was good half a meter in front of Juve striker. Juve players tried to point that out to ref but he did not wanna listen and started raining cards.

I was also waiting on Juve ML as last leg on my otherwise winning ticket. Almost 2k EUR down the drain for me. Closest I ever came to writing hate latter / bunch of insults to somebody.

[buwaytress]

Thank you! The red card actually came out of nowhere too, this guy Jean Akpa was subbed in to help the home team see out the second half, he actually got a yellow immediately after coming on, and then decided he wanted a straight red, a nice way to start my week from a nothing game. Was actually tempted to add Tammy to my BB to make it 10/1 but I'll take what I won!

Perhaps I will not be greedy and take a simple victory of Roma - with a boost, the odds are very decent - 1.74.
In any case, this week has been unusually successful for me.

I took the same, Roma starting my first leg of my usual 5-leg accas, "only" 1.72 but the boost means I probably got a bit more than that. Torino and Juventus (if they can't beat Monza, then they really need to be called shit) complete the Italian portion, Liverpool and Real in UCL the others.

That red card was a big deal for you

Why don't you add these multibets to your thread? The resulting odds are large enough to test the theory that high odds are more profitable than betting on the favorites.
By the way, just looked at the odds for Juventus against Monza - really very generous 1.84! Juventus is turning from one of the main contenders for the title into the middle peasants

and odds on CL match against Benfica, around 2.25, for a home win, is that a sign that Juventus is seen to continue in Europa League, looking at PSG as third contender, it could easily happen (Haifa is just to weak to overturn them on position 4)

did not watch the match against Salernitana, but looked at VAR afterwards, really problematic decision

Haha yeah, big deal for small fish, but no complaints, very happy. I use to add bets daily to my thread, but it's a mixture of time and relevance... less time now, which means less justifications for bets and less certainty about actual value, which is what the thread was supposed to be all about haha. In bet above, e.g., was absolutely for fun, not knowing how likely a sending off was actually going to be.

Real should help complete 3rd leg of my acca. I'll only share if Torino and Juve hit later, personally, I'm happy odds are climbing for them, that might jolt the players into realising even bookies think they're getting shittier heh.

I keep forgetting posting the final prizes for the pool so I decided to just push trough it today while watching Milan - Dinamo and sort it out. So here it is:

We have total of 132 mBTC in the pool this season and rewards will be given out for following positions:
1. Place - 60 mBTC
2. Place - 35 mBTC
3. Place - 17 mBTC (fees are paid from this prize)
4. Place - 10 mBTC
5. Place - 5 mBTC
Highest overall yellow cap - 5 mBTC


This post will never be edited for transparency and accountability and I have copied the info to the OP for ease of reference.

[buwaytress]

^ Nice one, Trofo. Let it now be said that when I win 60 mbtc, I will immediately make payment for next season's pool and sponsor 2 spots. Also, since I'm fantasising, Lazio will shock everyone and win one trophy this season.

Back to business. Need Torino to do their job tonight so my final big tickets can help me recover from European massacres all over the place, in every competition haha...

[buwaytress]

Guess I need to learn that it doesn't matter if I pick the Atalantas and Lazios (or haha Inter if anyone actually had them today, watching Arsenal so don't know if they're playing like shit or just unlucky), or if I back the Torinos and the Fiorentinas, they'll always let me down.

Just ONE leg from winning a big acca, I knew Torino was going to be tough, but come on, their opponents last night are at their weakest in a long time. If Lazaro had just converted the penalty, would be a different story.

[morvillz7z]

Where points?  

What a round it has been, except for the two exact scores on the Spezia match, nobody has seemed to have picked any points.

Udinese atop of the league (for at least a couple of hours) after seven rounds is crazy, i don't think anyone expected them to be this high in the standings.

Inter with 3 losses thus far, imagine if Juve drop more points today...we can see some coaching changes pretty soon.

Anyway, gl with the rest of the matches today everyone, i've a small ticket on Fiorentina and Verona BTTS, six in a row at Artemio Franchi, let's make it seven, shall we...?

Even that did not pass today and I was also sure it will. This one plus Arsenal both to score destroyed all my multi tickets.

Now trying to salvage something with a late ticket, have both to score on Roma game and Milan game. Hopefully at least something will go according to the plan today but I am not actually expecting a win here. It is just one of those days that destroys our betting bank

Maybe buwaytress managed to score big against Juve, he is the only one that sometimes profits on days like this.

I literally just had AS Roma and Atalanta ruined a 100 odds parlay for me 💔, all I had on them was over 1.5 goals, but that was too much to ask too, right ?

I see it's been such a shitty weekend right from yesterday and the results from the pool also suggests as much, perhaps they players ahead are all wrapped the coming international break.

Let's hope AC Milan vs Napoli or Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid would be worth spectating.

I lost the will to watch any more football, all my tickets down the drain. Can't believe Roma was unable to score, did not watch the game but according to the stats Roma destroyed Atalanta and Atalanta managed to score from their only shot on target. Seems like it was though match, heaps of yellow cards for Atalanta and red for Mourinho on the bench. Seems like this has been interesting to watch.
