Not many exact predictions in our pool this round, i count only 4, this has to be a record low for the season.
Starting Tuesday we have three straight rounds spread within a week, a good time for anyone trailing behind to get back in this.

Did anyone watch the late game? I can't believe Milan dropped points tonight, Parma had literally 2 or 3 shots towards the goal and scored two, Calhanoglu hit the post three times , Diaz once and Castillejo got his goal reverted for less than an inch offside. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yeah, last round was one of the best for me, and I approached possibility to leave the bottom, with one or two rounds, so this is my chance
did go through the pool during weekend, and it seems that in this prediction pool, it only matters to get the exact score, since most prediction regarding winner are usually the same for all participants, very interesting, but subject to the league that most matches have clear favorite

so, interesting take-off for me, from this pool is that Italian league is of really low and segregated quality, with top teams much better than the rest of the crew, according to bookmakers, but there is a lot of upsets as well

Milan was really unlucky last night. There were plenty of opportunities to score goals. At the same time, however, they managed not to let Parma win. I hope it was just tiredness and bad luck and that they will play better against Genoa. I really hope it because, right now, they don't deserve to lose.

Just a reminder guys, we have another set of games starting tomorrow. Don't forget to enter your picks. We are entering the crazy time of the season when some leagues squeeze double programs in the week.

I had Milan on the late ticket but I also had Arsenal and PSG both to score so I got perfect 3/3 fail. Better that way.

^ My turn for Milan to screw me. Took a live bet at 1-1, parlaying with other live matches in draws (Liverpool and PSG) as the value looked really good. Liverpool actually won it in injury time but bloody Milan let Genoa score again and could only draw. I did avoid livebet on Napoli at the draw though (was 4/1 at half time). Lukaku penalty nicked it.

Tough table at the top now, Juve will feel like shit, but Milan the shittiest for not making the most. Crazy.

^ My turn for Milan to screw me.

Not only you dude, but they burned me too (and probably a lot more people), lost a 3.90 total odds ticket because of Kalulu, some youngster playing at the back, Milan having problems with injured defenders and are forced to have him play, he is pretty trash (or in other words - inexperienced), one of Parma's goals over the weekend was his fault too.

7 out of 9 matches so far ended without a winner  , glad i was able to scoop 4 draws (2 of those with exact score). Harkorede and tyKiwanuka with 1 point between them (holy shit), got some breathing room at the top.

[buwaytress]

^ Yeah, I've actually recently been making more from non-fancied and 2nd league picks (including Serie B) than from the main leagues. Thankfully last night my Liverpool pulled me through on something else because otherwise I'd be in a 3rd straight week of bad bets.

Didn't realise they were this bad in defence right now though, and yeah, Italy is back to drawing a lot and scoring a few;) Not that other leagues are doing much better right now!

Posting this for historical purposes, i'm currently ranked 17th in the global leaderboard  , i don't think i will ever be top 20 again, so let me enjoy this for a moment. haha

Some interesting matchups on Sunday, Atalanta vs Roma and Lazio vs. Napoli, awfully hard to predict and choose a side imo.

Papu Gomez not in the starting lineup for a second straight game for Atalanta, there's definitely something going on between him and Gasperini, i've read reports he might even end up being traded, and he is/was their captain, crazy! As for the other game, Napoli could steal all three points here, i think they should feel disappointed not taking something from Inter, missed on a few good chances, and actually played pretty well.

Milan will most likely have Ibrahimovic available, i hope it's the "why u not pass every ball to me, cranky Ibrahimovic" 
It's about time they lose, and besides Sassuolo has Caputo back, so vs. Kalulu and co. it should be at least two goals for the home side, 2:1...book it!

I ended the week with 1.5 points and the wooden spoon, and down to fifth position... Nice round, and what a way to pull clear, ahead of the Serie A break, I guess we've got just one more round before then, right ?

Wow I just saw this late post, congratulations morvillz7z! I mean, I've never been ranked anywhere on any board in my life except 2nd place global for a weird online game from the late 1990s called Utopia (it still exists today but you won't find me easiy as all those posts are only screenshots left) haha.

I'm wondering, if the big prize Superbru gives out also applies to other leagues outside EPL? Hope your picks also translate to good winnings:) Lazio gave me loads of joy last season but this time around I have to accept they won't even be in Europe at this stage.

[casperBGD]

congrats man, if I saw it right, you had some nice pickings on Sunday as well, so the rankings could be even better at the moment

this round was good for me too, I have leaved the bottom , yes, and now heading to the top with this football every day, since there is another round in mid-week, second in a row, with some interesting matches, but mostly top over bottom teams, with Milan - Lazio as only "wannabe" derby, but I think that Milan will handle this easily

[-CryptoViking-]

This round was a redeemer for me personally after a terrible round last week. I have a feeling that this coming round will have some upsets in the store, Milan is a bit fishy to me this week.

I have no idea what to expect any time of the week now in this season. Starting to see real value on regularly betting upsets or handicaps against the typical Champions League spot contenders, or maybe to pick goalscorers and double down when they don't score. Honestly can't even predict from day to day, never mind match weeks!

[rodrigobitcoin]

After a few draws with teams that were not strong at all, many people immediately thought of Milan's imminent defeat. Yesterday, against Sassuolo, they managed to prove how much they are really worth, with less players and an unproposable formation. They are still in first place, looking up at everyone.

Sounds as good tactic as any I am personally spamming both to score market in the last few weeks with solid results. For instance Juve got me a lot of money this season. They are conceding goals all the time and bookies still keep both to score @1.85 or close against weaker opponents.

I think they are giving it only for EPL. Unfortunately Superbru isn't making that much money to pay these prizes for every league.
@morvillz7z, I see that you already 12th in global leaderboard - very impressive. Next goal - TOP 10. It would be nice if you will be able to finnish season in such high place. Sometimes I look at these Global leaderboard and usually even leaders of our pools aren't doing very well there.

I haven't really counted but after EPL's explosive start, they seem to be going down in terms of goals scored, while Italy has been shoving it in quite regularly -- psychologically I always feel like they are a low scoring league but that could be shifting. I really ought to check other markets more often!

Ah yeah I see, noticed the prize pot also went down a bit this season. Budgets are cut all around it seems.

[buwaytress]

Milan's leading now after 11 minutes. Feels weird these days betting against Lazio and predicting against them but even after their last decent win against Napoli, I'm really not sure they've got what it takes to take them through the season.

Of course, AC Milan are the firm favourites here so if they end up winning it won't have been much of a surprise (which is why I sided with them today). Sorry, Ciro, sorry Lucas, sorry Pepe. But I'm betting on you vs Bayern heh.

You guys feel bad for anti-nostalgia bets?

That is why we are playing our pool in BTC. We have already more than doubled our prizes. When we started, first prize was about 200$ now it is almost 450$ and we are just getting started. I feel like I will be paying out thousands by the time our pool finishes  

[Harkorede]

Hell of round isn't it ? We've got a maximum of 4.5 points for the round, I managed to get 4 points and Hoody Hoo still got at least an 0.5 point lead increment over me 

Just so many upset and Juventus kicked us off with a 3 Nil lost at Turin, Milan kept their cool head intact btw.
