I just realized we are halfway through the season with Round 19 completed, good job everyone, and good luck with the remaining 19, get them 'exact scores'!

LTU_btc with two yellow caps in the last 4 rounds, hahay is steadily climbing up the standings, but still a little lonely up top.

Speaking of Napoli I have them to win against Verona both in my betslip and in the pool, but it seems like it's going to be just one of those days, again!

EDIT:  Just as I submitted my post, Hellas Verona took the lead

Inconsistency is high with Napoli, just a couple of weeks ago they had a major screw up at home vs. Spezia, they just can't put a good run of consecutive wins together, though Verona is a tough team to beat, i had that game at 1-1...fun fact, Napoli has only one draw so far this season!

I am not blaming Napoli for this result, Verona is known as giant killer and they took points from more or less whole top of Italian league. That can't be a coincidence. I am never playing against Verona - that is just plain too risky. On the other hand I don't have courage to play on them so I am mostly skipping their games or taking both to score when Verona is underdog.

^Yeah, there was a point after Maradona's passing when I thought okay, maybe now Napoli will get this super sentimental boost and ride on a wave of nostalgia to an unprecendented no-lose streak.

That never happened, and I avoid most Napoli games now unless it's very close to 2/1.

Oh, I haven't realized that I got yellow cap this round until I saw your post, thanks! I spent most part of the season near the bottom of table, something what I expected before season. But few recent rounds were really good for me. It's probably impossible for me to reach @Hoody Hoo, he is doing amazing job so far, 16th place on Global ranking. But it's fully possible to reach 2nd place, I'm just 8.5 point behind @bigdaddy.
I hope that second part of the season will be as interesting as the first one.

[buwaytress]

I'm just going through the motions really, but still making my picks seriously, never know when one of you bastards slip up here.

Torino Fiorentina, instinct tells me an away win, bookie odds suggest a draw is most likely, so that's the prediction I've made for my betting... but I'm not changing my Superbru picks;)

GL all!

[morvillz7z]

The Biancocelesti are high-flying right now, this was 5th straight win for them which i guess nobody from our pool could predict.

I got only 3pts from today's early 4 matches, not good enough for me, i've no idea why i didn't go with Genoa, backing up the league's bottom teams always result in total disappointment, damn you Crotone!

Only one home win so far this round, are Napoli and Roma set for upsets, hmm?

[Harkorede]

What a terrible round for me  Just five points so far, Atalanta really are a joke, wtf ??! Massacred Milan just less than two weeks ago in great fashion but can't protect that home against Lazio 😑

[morvillz7z]

Slow round for most of us, only Harkorede is doing well with two exact scores after the first five games.

Atalanta and Napoli, the two most beloved teams in this pool didn't disappoint once again, La Dea gave up three-goal lead and Napoli wasted so many good chances only to let the 37 year-old Pandev score two and give Genoa the win. I wonder when will they sack Gattuso, tomorrow or on Wednesday after they lose to Atalanta? Either way, i see a change being made at the head-coaching position rather soon.

yeah, slow round, results are really something, it is good that I had exact score on Benevento this morning, but yesterday was a mess
I kind a thought about the pitch in Genoa, and let draw, instead of Napoli to win, but somehow they pulled to lose the match, and Atalanta is really roller-coaster, can beat everyone, can lose every match, and there is no series like last season, or season before that

so to speak, just Juventus proved that they will try to catch Milano duo until the end

We all were complaining about slow rounds the last few times but, it's got really extreme this time around, four games have been played so far and only three people has score points, while the most have been 1.5  points 

Napoli really are the strangest team!!! Milan losing to Spezia, well well!

[morvillz7z]

Bum round, agreed!

Spezia conceding roughly 2 a game with the worst home record took down the team with the best overall (and away) record - Milan. We didn't even get a single shot on target, like what the hell man?  It was a perfect opportunity to extend our lead at the top, with Juventus losing and Inter having a difficult matchup against Lazio who have been playing well lately.

Shout out to the zero-points gang! Exact scores will be pouring down for us tomorrow!

Would be nice to get some prediction correct
That Milan game costed me very much, it was the only game on otherwise winning multi for high stake that screwed me. New day new opportunists to get rektd even more

Inter - Lazio tonight, has to be goals in this one, right? I am thinking both to score.

[morvillz7z]

Same here, lost quite a lot myself, but it was not only Milan for me, i had Juventus and Lyon in double chance...bookies need a day with just a few surprises to empty our pockets completely. 

I wish i never knew we could change our predictions multiple times, it has cost me so much lately and i don't think i will ever do it again.

Could have had 2 exact scores today on Roma and Samp's matches but i changed both predictions, so -5 points right there, it's absolutely annoying when it happens.

[PixxelDesign]

This weekend was a disaster from the gambling angle, Milan hit me in the heart, I was so sure about their win.

[buwaytress]

Crazy how Fiorentina finds a way to score 3, and that's the day I pick them for a slim win. Torino got me another 1.5 points so not doing too badly for the start. Problem is I'm still only 10/11 position so let's hope I go for most of the favourites and get it right this time!

Atalanta Napoli match of the week for sure though;)

[Trofo]

Atalanta Napoli match of the week for sure though;)

Not having high hopes for Atalanta games any more. When I think we have a great game incoming and I decide to back it with hefty bet on both to score Atalanta plays a boring 0:0 draw. Happened multiple times and now I am just avoiding them, both on betting and watching. That way at least I can read about a great game and 4:2 victory

I've literally given up hopes for this week,  I'm currently in 3 pools and off all three pools and 11 matches (3 ongoing), I've only gotten 1.5 points and that's from Lazio's fixtures which was an easy pick.

I currently have Atalanta to win, but you never know what  to expect from either Atalanta and Napoli as both teams are the best at inconsistent result in the legaue, one week they win over Juventus and the next  the lose at home to Crotone.

[morvillz7z]

My huge lead at the top is melting faster than Alaskan glacier, i'm getting absolutely annihilated the last couple of rounds, can't predict anything right, i think i have like one exact score in the last 25 matches...lost my 'touch' completely that's for sure.

Sassuolo can't score more than one to a trash-ass Bologna defense playing 60 minutes with 10?! lol okay

I probably admitted some time ago I'm just playing now for "whatever". La Liga and Serie A no chance of catching up to prize spots with the games remaining, not unless I get 3 or 4 yellow caps while the frontrunners somehow forget to add in their picks. That'll never happen right?

But still, I persist. Also have Atalanta on my tickets but as Trofo says, you probably get more "joy" watching and just not having money riding on the outcome (but we're gamblers huh).

Did I call them right or what? I am looking trough the markets and avoiding Atalanta and then I check the result and of course it is 4:2.  

At least some points for me in the pool even though I went with more traditional 3:1 score there. Had both to score on Milan derby and I still can't believe this did not pass. Ah well, time for late evening fixtures to put me in the green, waiting for Roma to win and PSG both to score, City already did the job.
