I can only say well done to you, ty, I've been doing really horrible in both ESP and IT leagues on Superbru, I figure maybe at some point I might as well just enter all my predictions like weeks ahead, maybe even for the whole season, and then just sit back. All this time wasted thinking and I don't get them right anyway! I think it's just impossible to be really good without actually watching the games every week!

Like the first 2 so far. 0-0. Missed it. Then I pick 2-2 for Cagliari and it becomes 2-0 now. Heh.

Not just you, 4 matches in so far and half of the pool is with zero points.  
Extremely unusual matchday with 6 out of 8 teams not scoring a single goal, where are the btts and O3.5, hello? haha
Benevento ruined a very nice parlay for me, had them both to score and over, and of course they didn't socre (had at least one in their previous 6). smh

Brace yourself for a bumpy Sunday, more upsets incoming.

This round will reap a lot of us it seems. Results are completely off and it will probably be the same today. I'm wondering if it's possible to see Milan not to take a win lol

Milan is my only sure thing in European football since this season started and they lost in UEFA league last match. Looking forward to tomorrow's results!

[buwaytress]

Yeah Milan threw all of us a curveball in Europa but today I'm rooting for Juve (almost 2/1 damn!) and Roma (to take home some parlays) and Napoli, so yeah, a bit of a different take for me as am taking on the favourites for now but with almost all the games looking tight, I don't think it's worth backing the underdog as the matches come in thick and fast.

Inter Atalanta the pick of the day though, over 3 goals is barely 1.7x on most sites!

Lots of footie to see, I can't ever recall a game starting so early though. Go Old Lady!

I actually hate those games that look like goal fests for betting. More often than not they end up disapointing and odds for goals are so low from the begining. Not betting on that on that one.

I have Juve to win on one ticket and both to score on another so at least one of those tickets will be alive after Juve game since they are leading 1:0 at the moment. Is it 2:1 for Juve too much too ask for

Caicedo has given 4 points to Lazio in the last two games scoring in literally the last second. Juve choking up like that is something i don't mind.

I had it 1:1 but i thought it's too risky not to go with the home side, i haven't locked my prediction yet though.

Honestly i wish didn't know about locking/not locking picks, if you decide to change your selection multiple times (like me) and still end up not getting it right, ahh too much stress...

More often than I just make my predictions the midweek so that I don't forget by the weekend (If I ended up having a very hectic one) so I don't lock my picks incase I have time to review each team and their opponents.

Juventus have cost me a lot with their draw today, I had them to win and I they'd do easily.

Yeah I also do picks midweek and leave then like that, then if I remember and have time I do revision later on. This week though revision would not help me anyways, I would've missed most of it anyway as I ignored my intuition

I mentioned Milan losing points maybe haha and then played on Milan wining anyway despite me respecting Verona so much.

Bump. it is not ok for our pool page to drop this low

Don't forget your pick guys. Only 4 of us had them done so far.
Nothing much of interest for me in Serie A this week except from big game between Napoli and Milan. That one should be good with some goals in it. I am favoring Napoli so far but will wait for line ups before placing any bets. In this covid infested world you never know what can happen.

Thanks for the reminder, I made my picks now. Went for boring Napoli/Milan draw even though I'm pretty sure Milan will let this one slip. Also did a lot of 1-0 wins, my spider sense tells me everyone will be tired and cautious.

Juventus and Lazio better win, they're in my Sportsbet weekly boosted parlay =p

yeah, i made my picks as well
there is a lot of "easy matches for favorites", if you odds only, but those were down most of the times during this season
for Lazio should be an easy, but i hope that my team from Sardinia will make some though time for Juventus, although i do not expect to pick a point, Juventus is getting into good shape, and winning strike should be expected from them
regarding Milan and Napoli, it is really hard to predict anything, but i would not be surprised if Milan win that one

Did not bet on Lazio lately as they lost me quite a bit in early season (paying me back for my faith in them last season haha) but they're still a team I wanted to win (Sportsbet boosted parlay) so the result suits me. Happy Immobile is back but even happier Lucas Leiva is back (and got a yellow card too haha).

Milan Napoli definitely the weird game, but odds are just so uninteresting for anything outright here.

I got Lazio, missed the exact result though, but happy with it. Atalanta was suspicious one for me, but I went for it anywa.. At least Juve is leading 2-0 at the moment and if that stays like that I get 3 points there. Tomorrow will probably be worse day for betting.

I started very good this round with 2 exact scores but then came the expected reality check Still doing OK but tokeweed is killing it. Hope you made some bets today since you are also doing very good in that competition I am running. My focus is on tennis while we have Masters running but that will be over soon. So no more distractions, I am climbing to the top of the pack.

I see you have two close ones, not exact, maybe you've mixed it up with some other predictor/competition?

Atalanta was suspicious one for me, but I went for it anyway.

I not only went for it, but i also had them win 4-0.  

I reckon the last time there was an international break, Atalanta lost 4-1 to Napoli.
With so many players playing for their national teams, and especially with Muriel and Zapata and their back-and-forth trips over the Atlantic, that was to be expected...sorta!

Alright, Dzeko and Smalling not playing tomorrow, who else has Parma taking something from this game? My preliminary pick is 1:2 but what's bothering me more than anything is the following stat: Parma's last win @Stadio Olimpico dates back to '97, since 2001 in 17 matches Roma has 15 wins and 2 draws, talking about domination.

I will probably end up changing it to 2:0 or something, already a slow start for me with 2.5pts out of the first three games, maybe some other time.

You are absolutely right. So everyone just imagine that above post from me was posted in our Spanish La Liga pool topic
But this one needs bumping more so maybe it wasn't so bad that I posted here.

Ronaldo scoring two and looking like he's keeping that team from crumbling. Can't get better for Juve, Lazio won but other legs in my parlay didn't, so boo.

I'm already imagining it right now, I'm doing terrible in La Liga and Serie A (as expected) but tokeweed ramping it up here is crazy. Notice also how the gap is in these leagues than in EPL? Or is that just the consequence of fewer players?

Man, I hate myself for going against Milan lol, played almost every match on them in like last 6 months and now I go weak cos of Napoli. Should've been loyal and keep trusting and I could've got 3 nice points there if I didn0t change my result in the last few hours before the match.

I was surprised to see that I'm the only one who backed Milan to win tonight. Though, it didn't helped me much, still 8th in the table.
I'm amazed about what Ibra is doing, already 10 goals this season. Seems that he is like wine, just getting better eith age.
And from my experience, changing initial predictions is never a good idea .

yeah, I thought that Milan can win, but pushed the draw option, as more reasonable, and that is why I am stacked on the bottom of our pool, I am going for reasonable scores, and this season is everything but reasonable for Serie A, with as many surprises as possible
who would think that Fiorentina will lose to Benevento, and Sassoulo will win in Verona, after lousy performances in previous two matches, Roma nailed Parma, and I sought a draw there, instead of seeing that Atalanta will be the one to not win

nevertheless, there is always a hope for a good round, that will bring yellow cap win
