Atalanta is already behind at home against Napoli, while we are only just fifteen minutes away. I think an afternoon with a lot of goals in this match, normally in Atalanta games there are a lot of goals. It is important for Napoli to win this match in order to close the gap with Ac Milan. AC Milan have an easier opponent today, but Napoli can only keep up the pressure.

^Yeah, watching here. Politano just stole in from a freekick to take it 0-2.

EPL feed shitty and got a nice English feed for the match but man, Atalanta-Napoli was a treat to watch from the kickoff. The football wasn't so beautiful, Atalanta finishing is so puzzling but I kind of enjoy games played at frantic pace and of course, when the players have some sort of skill. First 15 minutes was a blast, barely 15 seconds possession before changing hands, Mertens smash and grab on a counter, kinda a shitty penalty as he definitely knew what he was doing but at least you get that VAR consistency (see England, it's not THAT hard to do). Looked like keeper almost got a hand to the pen but it was cleanly hit, would have gone in anyway am sure.

But man, show me one international game in the past 2 weeks that had THIS intensity... well okay, I exaggerate but whatever

And of course Juve lost tonight. I blame myself for this result. I said multiple times that I will never again place ML bet on Serie A but I could not resist 1x Juve tonight. I was absolutely sure they are not loosing this one and of course it ended up as the only game I missed on 6x multi.

Too make things worse they were much better team in parts of the match I watched.

I cannot blame you, and the game reports somehow say that Inter was lucky to get all 3 points, this is the luck of football which I know so well repeatedly from my own team.

Hope at least you got the insurance back. Me I went only with a small bet on Spurs which I won (BTTS and Spurs win) 3.15x

But lost multi on BTTS on many Serie A games, quite a strange week I have to say, I was sure at least Valencia game should see goals as well as Inter-Juve, but many clean sheets.

yeah, it was a strange night
where goals were expected, we did not see it, Barca, Valencia, but Granada and Rayo made a show, with four goals

regarding Inter and Juventus, I expected home win, Juve was in a winning strike, but somehow was't surprised with result, it is usually that way in Calcio for me

[buwaytress]

Add me to the BTTS crying party. I was so certain Juve-Inter would get down and dirty, and then they went and joined the 1-nil Italian nostalgia team heh.

That was my final bet and last hope on Sportsbet until next week. Only bet alive now settles end of season. I've not had a zero balance there for a while but it's been weeks of terribly betting (I think even months) this season, in general. Normally I always end up a week with still something but it's a message for me to just chill.

Time to use up my 20 USDT ...

Those free bets come mighty handy when the balance dries up and wallet is out of hand. Funny how couple of clubhouse rewards mean very little to me until that moment when they become of utmost importance

It was quite though weekend to end in the green. Fortunately for me my biggest bet was on tennis and that went as planned. All my football tickets went miserably.

[darxiaomi]

Seems like AC Milan its destroying some bets right now.

If Milan finally draw and Inter wins the game what they have to play..... can be a 3 way party to the end of the season.

And in the bottom of the league we have 4 teams playing for relegation, maybe more but i think between the current 4 in the bottom only.

You know you are not winning when you walk up with this uniform (paired with white socks and white shorts).

I'm following AC Milan since the early 90s, and this is without a doubt the worst-looking shirt we've ever had. I won't mind if the Federcalcio deducts a point or two for "having the audacity to wear this thing" in such an important match. I swear we should get relegated to Serie C if ever go again with these. Christ!

A point is better than none, i will take the draw!

It would have made more sense if Halloween was around the corner, perhaps.


I had pretty decent week (and the trick this time again, was no analysis, just blinded/gutsy predictions), I don't feel terrible about losing points from AC Milan btw as no one from the pool guessed they would, but I was hurt by Juventus loss (probably not as much as them dashing title chase hopes), I really would have loved to get a point from that prediction.

Mo Sala just keeps pulling clear at the top of the leaderboards.

The worst shirt in 30 years for you? That is something that is a mini miracle  But you know what,,, it feels like these days jerseys are becoming a victim of marketing.

The worst is when club colors are ignored, which seems to be the trend also. And now it is even more common not only to have 3rd kit but 4th kit, and the things they do with them?

Is this supposed to be wet paint? Milk stain?

[buwaytress]

Yeah MoSala came out of nowhere a few weeks ago, and then now he just sits there happy. My season's getting worse in the final leg. This is like Liverpool of old under Brendan Rodgers or even Houllier or Rafa. Fly high and stumble in final quarter heh.

Milan did NOT trick me in betting, but only because I had nothing left. Would definitely have put them down for something, screw you nil-nil draws man.

Aaaand my 20 usdt is gone, because I was so smart to start off bets with Arsenal leg.

But yes! You just reminded me of freebets from Clubhouse. I should get 2 or 3 if not more by the time Sunday bets settle. Only "problem" is how random they seem to be (even as you go up levels). Last month I got almost 0.3 per level at Silver, and then it dropped from 0.2-3 in Gold. Missed platinum as I lost badly most games, so betting frequency dropped.

Clubhouse rewards are calculated and paid out trough USD and then converted to your currency. I am taking mine always in USDT to avoid at least BTC price impact. Rewards are still random but they look nicer and you skip at least on part of variance.

I know Milan its the center of the fashion, with all his galleries and important marks like Armani, Gucci, etc. But this its a lot and i say a LOT.

You need to be mad for wearing such a horrible thing.
If im a Milan fan i send a warning to the directives to no wearing this again.

What is worse I sort of can see the idea behind this jersey and it could have turned out much better. There is way too much white color on it but if they just done the same effect on the bottom edge and much thinner stripe it could have ended cool. Also, I guarantee we would not hear so much jersey trashing if Milan managed to win

[Lordhermes]

AC Milan suffered a Madden draw against their visitor, Bologna at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium. Bologna tie them to goalless draw which makes AC Milan players disappointed because it wasn't the results they wanted.  It was a must win for AC Milan because their spot in top 1 of the table is threaten by their rivalry, Napoli who are just one points behind them. AC Milan needs to stands out in other to continue to win games. I saw this draw coming because they have been performing poor interms of goals. They recorded maximum of 1 goal winning in their last 3 games in Seria A league. They need to buckle up and start scoring high number of goals in other to beat Napoli to the cup.

[leea-1334]

You know,,, this week I made only TWO big bets, one was Spurs to win and BTTS, which passed, and another was a multibet for 35x that included Spurs. Initially, it was all Serie A affair, with Inter that made it 35x (forgot exactly maybe it was even 38x), but I changed my mind thinking well I should not be greedy.

Which is an easier bet? I thought of course,,, go for Champions League  Liverpool and City too low odds as I wanted Sportsbet boost (which needs 1.5) so the only tie last night was Bayern Munich. So I chose that and I thought okay 22x is much more reasonable

You guys know what happened of course but I share my bet here to prove it sometimes pays off to be greedy, and does not pay to be 'less greedy'. And sometimes the lowest odds is the one you should trust the least,,, I should have trusted my Serie A total gut instincts

What is a Madden draw?

Finally graded last free bet challenge. I thought I done it before 
Remind me guys if results are not up on Wednesday, latest.

New one is up, this time no big derby games but we are still gonna have some fun. Barcelona again in it but I will try to avoid them in the next weeks, too much Barca in last challenges. Guess I am biased since I am choosing games on the criteria - game I would like too watch most

good that you did, and glad that I got free-bet, did not expected that to happen

regarding matches, yeah, Levante - Barcelona is a bit predictive match, probably we will all go for an away win, but Napoli is also closer to home win as well
tie-breaker will be important in this round, and Napoli to stay with clean sheet

at least we have solid title fight in Calcio this season, with Juventus lose last week, I am with Napoli till the season end
shitty season for my teams, Cagliari is again fight to avoid relegation, Everton as well, I used to have "all done" in this part of the season, will all my clubs in clear middle of the table, no stress

Thanks for grading, I actually almost don't remember at all until I really read my notifications or happen to be online when it pops up like last night heh. Notifications used to be useful but now they are so many I miss some anyway.

Barca again, no one's going to complain. The way they're playing lately is such a treat, really.

casper: Napoli, yeah, too much heartbreak for me past seasons (betting wise of course, not really invested in this league) but good luck. I'd love for them to win it, and after killing off Atalanta the way they did, if they find a way to sustain that rest of season, phew.
