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

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.

Crazy game man! I got 1.5 points from the pool, I had Atalanta 3-1,  It was just a gut feeling as I wasn't expecting a draw.

But Benevento holding Roma to a goalless draw marred my day (betslip wise) and Milan losing 3-0 to Inter Milan is another shocker (3 losses in 5 games)

I'm ashamed to say this but I've actually been doing really badly across all leagues in 2021. If not for tennis, correct score bets and promotional offers, which I've won and actually means I'm following OTHER people's bets, I'd be deeply in the red. Serie A isn't doing well for me predictions wise, but betting-wise it's actually not doing too badly. Bundesliga my most profitable... no need for me to say who's responsible for giving me the biggest losses this season.

At this rate, I should just be betting against all the leaders now, starting with tonight's Crotone.

You're not alone, mate. I'm also not doing well. In EPL, I don't even check my position in the table. In Serie A it's not great, not terrible. Only in La Liga pool my situation is good. But unfortunately, it doesn't reflect in betting. I'm doing terrible betting on all top leagues. This season is such strange, I guess it's related with all this covid stuff and things around it.
But still, I'm not going to go against majority in predictions and betting. I imagine that then I would lose muc mores than what I'm losing now.

Yeah, I'm just playing the EPL pool now for yellow caps (and who knows the actual prize money if I get 10/10 lol) so I'm doing crazy predictions rather than sustainable ones since I don't think I can catch anyone now.

It's really just the betting on specials that's keeping me afloat. My parlays are out the window this year, even if I try predict upsets I get the wrong one. I know it's easy to blame covid but this really is my worse season since I started calculating my actual profit/loss since 2016.

This round starts with some unexpected results, both Lazio and Juve lost points to teams they normally play well and win against. Props to Trofo who was the only one to get the exact score from Verona/Juve game, mini-upset right there but a bigger blow to Juve's title ambitions (likely to be 10pts behind Inter who have an easy game with Genoa at home tomorrow).

Only three of us have any points after the first three matches, i can't really complain as i got 1.5 points from Parma's game, who blew yet another 2-0 lead...would be a shame to see them being relegated at the end of the season.

WTF is going on Superbru? They still haven't credited points for Torino - Sassuolo and Verona - Juventus games. What is most strange that's still possible to change prediction on these games.
Main game of round between Roma and Milan will begin in 30 minutes. I would like to see Milan win just because that they would get closer to Inter. But considering how Milan playing recently, it's difficult to expect their win.

Superbru is glitching like always, they should fix Verona / Juventus result at some point though, as for Torino / Sassuolo match, it has been postponed due to covid:

Friday's Serie A clash between Torino and Sassuolo has been put off until March 17 after an outbreak of COVID-19 among Toro players, the Serie A national footballers league said Thursday.
Torino are 17th in the Italian top flight, and Sassuolo eighth.
Seven Toro players have tested positive for the British variant, as well as two squad members.

Milan should have scored at least 5 goals in that FH, possibly their best half in a long time...

The 96th minute missed penalty by Spezia cost me the full 3 points for that fixture in the pool, I had Juventus to win 3 - 1, Juventus were indeed the better team even though Spezia had better possession of the ball. 3 points fully deserved!

Lazio vs Torino was also postponed due to Covid-19

Hey man, how can you write about Juve game yesterday without mentioning Chiesa goal  He scored a beautiful scorpion kick, go check it out if you did not see it, I don't even remember last time someone attempted it let alone scored it. Anybody want to take a small bet that Ibrahimovic will try to do one before end of the season?

I had 2:0 so it was gonna be 1.5 points for me with or without penalty.

[buwaytress]

These postponements are screwing with me in betting, I've already lost 2 freebets because of games cancelled (so bets returned, so freebets basically cancelled. Asked support about it but seems terms of freebet mean that if wagers are returned, we don't get the freebet back damn) so now I'm not going to put Serie A and French games not even as a parlay leg.

Even lost good odds when Fairlay took down markets and reopened because of VENUE change.

Ibrahimovic to try scorpion goal? After a backheel mid-jump volley in FA cup this week (I can't find video but it would have made Zlatan cry), that's precisely the sort of reason why I like bet requests Trofo;)

You're talking about this goal?:
https://youtu.be/bufENfhTxVA
I think Zlatan isn't impressed
Anyway, Milan lately looks so bad. Getting point against Udinese only after scoring penalty on 97 minute. But they still aren't very far from Inter, despite poor recent results.

When I said it would have made Zlatan cry, I didn't mean tears of impression but tears of joy that people still try to do his feats every now and then. I bet you he feels like he inspires all these goals hahahaha. And will do one better just to show Zlatan leads the way;)

I lost bets on Milan two games in a row now in Europe, so I'm learning my lesson to leave them out of my parlays, at least until they stop relying on Ibra for points. Same as Juventus and Ronaldo really.

Same here, I am always loosing money on Milan. When I play against them they manage to win like in the recent game against Roma. I was sure Roma can't loose that one. Then when I am thinking this is easy game for them they manage to loose.

They screwed one time too many and now they are on my blacklist as well at least for 1x2 markets. I will still back them in both to score markets against better opponents.

whole Calcio is on my blacklist this season, and few last seasons, cannot find silver lining in betting there
cannot say which team was most successful, but Roma, Lazio, Atalanta, Milan all screwed my parlays many times, maybe Sassuolo is the worst, after all

nevertheless, Inter was better than the rest, and that is why I think they will lose on Monday evening? goals and Atalanta to win on a women day

Both to score is serving me very well in Serie A this season and last season. I think I have over 70% correct picks on that market since I blacklisted Atalanta. Their games have no value since BTS is usually low around @1.5 and then the game ends 0:0. Juventus has been a golden goose since they started conceding a lot and odds on their games are often @1.8 or even bigger due to their history.

If you want to raise your chances on Serie A until the end of the league try to concentrate on these bets only:
- both teams to score Y/N
- under over 1,5 goals
- under over 2,5 goals

The last two three months in serie a are usually crazy so forget about picking the right results, better to focus on these sort of bets.

It was a betting choice I used to make throughout the season but the results weren't even that great, I assumed it would be easy to make such a bet but the fact is, odds are another factor so I always push myself to get the best odds. For example, when I am predicting and analyzing a match then an assessment will be generated and I am ready to bet on Under 3.5, but after seeing the odds available then I have to try better odds to lower the target to Under 2.5 or lower and it will be more risky of course.

What an absolute pile of shit this last two rounds (midweek included) has been for me.

I'm either getting robbed of points with last-minute goals or goals scored deep in added time, what a joke. 

Sassuolo's 95th min goal vs Napoli  - 1.5pts
Roma's 89min winner vs Fiorentina - 3pts
Crotone's 94th 4th goal for -0.5pts
Fiorentina and Parma with two goals in stoppage time -0.5pts
Cagliari's equalizer vs Samp in the 96th min (with 3 min added time) for another 3pts loss

#sighhh #putmeoutofmymisery 

Btw, why did no one else went for Crotone today? Half of Torino's squad still in quarantine, they haven't played a fixture in two weeks...thought it was obvious 1X

must say that I am completing my picks on Thursday, and stopped to update them on any changes that I hear or bet on
usually, when I do that, it brings me a sad miss, and what entered first was a good score, so stopped to change, and on the other hand, it is a time consuming to play three pools in Superbru, which is a good mental note for next season, will enter just one, max two

Big Daddy has been kicking it really in the last few weeks and he's just within reach, and it's not getting any better for me on the other end.

I didn't see that honestly... And If I had placed a bet on that game, I would have gone all in on Torino again.
