As my first season playing the Serie A prediction pool, I can definitely say that it hasn't been easy. I feel no matter how much research I do it still is all up in the air, but I feel I am getting to follow more closely the league which I haven't done in the past. Maybe this season for me will be more of a learning curve and maybe next season will be more competitive. All in all I am happy with the fun and excitement I get to partake every weekend which makes it well worth the investment.

I see you're digging deep into the thick of it on your maiden season, to be fair, participating like a veteran. I'm not anywhere near contention for anything in these classic pools but I will agree research won't help you much if you're not familiar with the league anyway. Watch a few games, for a few teams, probably gives you a better understanding of outcomes (but no scores) -- not that it works for me, but at least one should enjoy the games, if not able to get the scores!

Midway through the season gives you a better picture, anyway, there're just far too any points left to play for.

Lazio don't know how to win, really, but you have to feel sorry Juve keeper (man until today I could never spell his name without copy pasting). First he did a Karius (or David James depending on which error-prone era we like), but Sassuolo returned a gift goal to parity. Then just as it looked like Juve were fighting for a point, you parry a shot for an easy goal... then wrap up the present with a corner freekick your teammate then passes into your empty goal.

Sunday football classics.

Oh sweet, this one went quite well for me. 

I won the yellow cap this weekend with 14 points and currently rank on spot 1 with 58 points in total. Could be worse, haha.

Yeah, yeah, Not buying it. I am keeping my eye on you. You are under investigation for insider information without sharing  I could live with you destroying us in the pool if you would share some juicy tips on the way, but this is not acceptable. Maybe we need to add some handicap points for all of you super lucky bastards

Still continuing with abysmal performances in my pools. Can't really explain it. I am even doing better in F1 pool and I never in my life watched a race

good to see that you are doing great in all pools
and nice to see that I am on position that was in the screenshot, so not that bad

overall, Serie A is pretty much predictable this season, and all rounds above 10 points I mark as good ones, below that number is not a good one
with 11,5, this round should be good to go, and new round is mid-week, so put your picks all

[darxiaomi]

Fuck man, after a wonderfull round for me, and when i started to think i can be a contender i made this very shit round. from yellow cap to spon in one round.

I dont know what really happen, but we have again mid week round in this pool and in LaLiga.

Hope you enjoy being rock bottom. That was me for about a third of last season in EPL, and it wasn't even as if I was putting in wild picks, just can't explain how even correct outcomes only bring 1 point.

Are you suffering because of BTTS?

Football is life, and also death. I fancied Juve 1-0 but only bullrunbro was brave enough to do that, and has just rewards. Napoli better get their act together, though their club just made fun of their main man, apparently (personally I think it's cool but I'm me).

I don't think I am suffering because of BSFL, my Premier league and Bundesliga pools are going OK and I expect great things from Fantasy pool. It is just these 2 that I have trouble with. I guess it is because I am captain and I have to give you guys head start.

By the way, you will be playing in Div 4 in BSFL next season. Special division just for you for making me remember my position  You have to pay 10 mBTC buy in and first place reward is 1 mBTC. Rest goes to me as emotional damage compensation

You're suffering from post-BSFL stress for sure, I meant BTTS as that's your favourite market as I recall in Serie A and only 27 BTTS in the season so far (fewer than half?), thought that might contribute to your performance so far.

Div 4 buy in sounds prestigious, where do I sign up? =D

[LTU_btc]

I guess it's difficult to perform much worse than I'm doing in this season Serie A pool, bt at least I'm not last on table. Offourse, nobody isn't protected from upsets like Sassuolo win against Inter, but almost all 50/50 games without favorite goes wrong for me...
Guys, did you saw video about Osimhen that Napoli uploaded on their TikTok? Seems that he got seriously offended. And it's understandable. Do you think it's possible that he will want to leave club in winter?

I think it is a combination of that BSFL syndrome and doing most of my writing on mobile lately. Not getting any younger here and that tiny screen plus this forum aren't exactly a perfect match.

I caught on BTTS not happening early on and I am not forcing. This season the one to target is Premier League. With that extra long additional time and most teams playing quite attacking. Spurs, Liverpool and Brighton basically guarntee BTTS in every game no matter who they play against.

It’s racial and insensitive joke gone too far, they really should never have posted such a shitty video for player that they barely on the social media too, I remember sparkling a controversy after they won title last season, by posting Kvaratskhelia despite Osimhen scoring the most goals, and Kvaratskhelia just being in is maiden season in the league.

Despite Osimhen being targeted by other social media outlet from the country, he decided to still showing his work ethics by showing up for training on timely and putting the necessary work required to make the match day squad, he has also resulted into deleting all the posts where he had a Napoli shirt on, so leaving the the club come winter is also on the cards imo.

Can you share? What exactly did he get offended by? If it's about his face or style, I can;t see as every club sometimes makes fun of players, I think Barca "good luck" message to Messi was so insulting but I doubt Messi makes it a choice of whether he comes back or not.

If it's racial like Harkorede says then damn. I would leave too, I guess.

I wonder if Serie A clubs are as "active" in joking as La Liga.

TrollFootball should get hired by a club just maybe not United lol

I don't know, maybe such kind of stupid videos is usual thing on TikTok, but personally, I don't see nothing funny here. It's to to troll your own players sometimes, make friendly banter, but it shouldn't be offensive. And one thing when Troll Football post such stuff and completely different when it comes from official club account.

football clubs should not troll their own players
not seeing anything offensive, but support to player that brought them title should be there, even if didn't score half the season, it is not that they are winning titles in a row, and now missing on it

didn't expected Lazio to win, or to put it better way, Torino to lose, but it happened, hope to see Roma winning today as well

Third straight Genoa home that has hit the over, lovely stuff. Before the international break, they host another attacking side at Luigi Ferraris. Hopefully, the oddsmakers will be as generous as they have been thus far, as all three overs have been set at plus money.

Congratulations!

Roma were just an absolute piece of shit today, despite it being actually one of the few times I've seen a team managed by Mourinho looking very attacking minded, but it was to no avail.

Just a shitty day in general 

[slaman29]

Fk you Roma. Go to hell Mourinho

Now for me to go La Liga thread and curse there too lol

Thanks. I get the insult but I would never be offended by that honestly, and it's nothing racist I can see.

That said, the club should never have done that BUT social media managers go rogue all the time. This was something impulsive for sure and not the club feelings 100%.

I hope people think sensible here.

[darxiaomi]

What the fuck is Roma doing this season?.

About Osimehn thing..... so much drama, nothing happen, stop snowflakes, asides of that i think its not good a oficial account made fun of one of their players, but nothing serious.

[CLS63]

Round 7 has been going on awesome for me until now. I hope that I can manage to get the yellow cap after the remaining 3 matches. If I made a combined betslip of 7 matches I could have earned much more money. However I'm very stupid for preferring to lose my money in the other leagues instead.
