Overall, this is the whole Serie A for me Grin

I checked several seasons and for top teams the percentage of points scored in Serie A is very small, sometimes very small compared to other top championships. Plus, of course, I have Dortmund, Arsenal (and maybe I forgot another team) on my black list. Sometimes I bet on these teams, of course, but it seems that it is at least never profitable on average Grin

Blacklist is biggest in Serie A, but this season Manchester United and Tottenham are surely the biggest takers of this cake.

At least Arsenal has probably 2x as many wins if not even more. But they are a big favorite so odds on them must not be so nice.

Dortmund haha what about them right? After they led 2 goals against Real and lost 5-2 I blaclisted them for whole season.

Now 3 in a row is something even better. Not gonna happen but one can hope.
Would be also about time to enter into paying positions, quite bad in the pools this season so this one is actually my best hope.

I'm like way down in bottom spots so yellow caps is the only thing I can really fight for now, its nice to get back to back high scores and climb into prize pools so GL to you.

What got me is currently buway has the current lead and I checked his scores and he got 3 draws correct. IIRC you don't pick draws buway, so what is it that changed things for you this round??

Next game is also screaming draw Wink

Congrats to Saint-loup for winning the Round 31 Yellow Cap

Congrats to buwaytress for winning the Round 32 Yellow Cap

Damn, BSFL really took out traffic from these other pools. Everything gets discussed there these days.
Anyway our season is coming closer to the end so I wanted to check highest yellow cap results so that you know how it stands since we have 5 mBTC reward for it.
SaintLoup has the lead but here are top 3 just to show you how close it has been

1. GW 27 - SaintLoup - 20 points
2. GW 22 - Harkorede - 19,5 points
3. GW 12 - vd309 - 19 points

My fault, I actually was about to post this in SB ANN thread too, but then I looked and remembered now where I won my freebet from. Nice prize for the highest yellow cap, and we all have a chance to win it with these last few gameweeks, so why not try?

Rare for me to get some freebets on low stakes, almost glad I didn't have much choice so thank you Arsenal too. I hedged both ways and almost lost but Arsenal rescued me from the dreaded draw!

Congrats on the yellow cap put to good use buwa. I think I also have not hit a freebet win in quite a long time but only as I have been doing your tactic of big hits. Its still nice to hit a smaller bet every now and then oc, 4x is not a bad hit for net 3x

Inter need to win this to make sure they are 4 more wins away from guaranteeing the title, but us neutrals will be glad that Napoli won to keep the pressure, hopefully this goes all the way to final match day

Guess everyone knew matches were postponed after the death of the Pope. Wonder if that also throws up different things for my selections, but ain't going to go back and change anything. Just after the freebets from here on, thank you very much!

On semi-related news, I think Inter will finally get around to doing something about Milan, in the Coppa. That's the way I'm going, anyway.

Congrats to LFC_Bitcoin and SaintLoup for winning the Round 33 Yellow Cap

I don't think this is final. Matches are scheduled for tomorrow and I think they are still part of the same round. Let's wait and see how superbru will count them.

Superbru awarded them the Yellow Cap; I can make changes as they are made.
This is Superbru’s world; we’re just living in it.

Maybe they changed it later on. Yesterday there was just news of postponement. Today we have new dates, who knows when they picked on it. But as you said, we use superbru for this pool and whatever they decide we follow.

Inter’s home clash against Roma has been officially postponed to Sunday, April 27, due to the national mourning announced for Pope Francis’ funeral.

More postponements on the horizon, as all of Saturday's fixtures have been called off. Inter's match has moved to Sunday, meaning one less day to prep/rest before the Barcelona semi-final clash.

As far as the title chase goes, it would be funny if Napoli and Inter finished the season with equal points. We might get that play-off final after all...since the tie-breaker in Serie A is head-to-head and both fixtures ended without a winner.

It would indeed be a funny and exciting conclusion of serie A championship, it happened only once, in season 1963/64 since the single round championship was established back in 1929, the Scudetto was awarded with a play-off between the two teams that finished the Serie A championship on equal points : curiously one of them was Inter and the other was Bologna who ended as a winner.

Well. Napoli is now primed to win. Very few games so any mistake is a disaster and this time it was Inter who made the disaster. Crazy how they have lost 2 games now with no ability to score, and both at home. Are they too focussed now on the Champions League?

That actually would make pure sense if they only win that trophy now when they were going for a treble

But they have to stop us first!!

So far the only league in the big four without upsets (draws all over Bundesliga, Atletico already failing to score in La Liga, bloody Ipswich stealing a point of Everton in Prem), and I'm not sure Como and Udinese wins really say much about that.

Napoli will do everything to win tonight -- Inter couldn't score at home 3 times in a row for the first time in 40 years, surely they can't repeat that again with Dumfries all friesed up? Heh

vd309 wins the the Round 35 Yellow Cap
