Taking a tiny bet on a comeback. Inter's well worth it.

Well, Inter didn't complete a full comeback but at least you nailed the exact score, that gotta feel good!

I must say this was one of the better matches of the season so far, with plenty of chances in front of both goalkeepers, some pretty nice goals, and of course late drama.

One thing i don't understand, and i'm not sure i agree with, is why Dimarco took the penalty. I'm not saying it was a poorly taken penalty, but with Dzeko still on the pitch, Sanchez and Perisic also available, why would you choose a defender who came on as a sub to take the penalty? I don't recall Dimarco taking a penalty for Verona last season, odd move by Inzaghi. 

Ooo yeah! Nice! I don't even remember as I mentioned, what I did. Actual bets haven't gone my way in any league, but nice to try and hang on for a little bit more in Serie A's pool.

Didn't note the penalty decision, but it's been getting weird for coaches now. Sometimes it's a team psychology thing, where the manager must be trying something new in training or making good on a promise or something. Did the regular taker argue?

This has to be one of the worst combined (premier league and serie a) rounds i've had in a long time, forgettable and quite annoying.

Nothing has gone my way all weekend honestly, and i've made some shitty last-minute decisions that didn't pay off...

Despite having one more game tomorrow, i'm already looking forward to the next round.

If not for anything else, i was able to at least land my 6-leg parlay at 14/1 (would've been twice as good if Sassuolo scored one more).

I think the balance obtained by Inter Milan against Atalanta is a deserved result, especially considering that Atalanta is not a very strong team in Serie A this season, where they play relying on team cohesiveness which makes them very difficult to beat, where Inter was trailing 1- 2 in the first half before managing to equalize in the second half

Mosala and hahay have a great start and they are rewarded with the top 2 spots in the overall leaderboard, well done!

Nice job on your actual money betting morvillz7z This is actually my 3rd or 4th Superbru pool or something and it is one of my better attempts but look,,, the season is only less than 20% gone!

BTTS is a great market but I usually play it only on games between similar opponents. For instance I would never played it on Milan game, that one had clear home win written all over it. Got all my Serie A games correct except for Cagliari, can't believe they lost and without scoring a goal.

Cagliari again!

Tonight is a sure BTTS I think,,, and my prediction is a simple draw for now.

[leea-1334]

Wow nice attempt from darbit to come up and steal the yellow cap but as I thought yesterday,,, with the exact score on the final game but Mosala well done as you got there early and kept it by 0.5 points!

I guess a lot of us should have guessed the score of the game on the last night but actually only 2 went for the draw so kudos to you guys.

Next game in 3 days now let us see how Italians go in Champions League

[rdbase]

Isn't this always the case just when you think you have a match won in the dying seconds of extra time the other team scores to get the draw.
Cagliari strikes again!
They just can't seem to keep the ball out of their own net.
I am just hoping a draw for my team Sassuolo against the big blue machine Inter Milan today.

[casperBGD]

Cagliari strikes again!
~snip

yeah, this season seems as that it will be it for Cagliari in Serie A, last season also seemed that way, but they won (bought) few wins in a row, and stay in the competition, could something similar happen this season as well, not so sure

few interesting matches on weekend, not a fan, but will keep one eye on Turin derby, Juventus won over Chelsea is maybe brought them back to life, and Torino is playing really solid this season, up to now, could go in any direction, and goals as well, from goalless draw to several goals (4,5), anything could be expected

[buwaytress]

Atalanta Milan is the obvious game for tomorrow but my eyes will not be on Serie A today, far too interesting picks to watch elsewhere in England and Spain.

Sassuolo - Inter should also be a shoo-in if you're in this for BTTS and over 2.5. Agree?

And, anyone watching this thread, don't forget Trofo's predictions challenge. I know I have before!

Atalanta vs Milan would surely a must watch encounter, I've went with Atalanta for some weird reasons, and being the home team.

Sassuolo vs Inter should be a goal fest, BTTS and Over 2.5 should be the safest bet, but I would fancy Inter ML currently @ 1.73 more

[leea-1334]

Started the week perfect but now Salernitana (never heard of them until now) of all people have scored so I am now impossible to get more than a close score,,, But I am hoping to get a surprise for Juventus match after

And, anyone watching this thread, don't forget Trofo's predictions challenge. I know I have before!

Thanks,,, I wanted to do this early but placing it very late to try and see what everybody else did

Inter win is the easiest way out also I would say here!

^Really don't know why all of you don't participate in our free bet challenge. Value proposition is great since there is not lot of us anyway. No matter, easier grading job for me and even bigger chances for us participating to walk away with free bet

My money is on both to score in Sassuolo - Inter game, should be plenty of goals and Inter has to drop some points along the way. Why not after tough match in Europe during the week.

[buwaytress]

Ah Juve, you're still alive in the end. Precious 3 points for them, 1.5 for me.

Atalanta vs Milan would surely a must watch encounter, I've went with Atalanta for some weird reasons, and being the home team.

I probably would too, if I'm betting. Milan are brittle and I wonder if UCL exertions without points is putting pressure on them. Can't be relying too much on "the Lion" this season as he's also spending more time on the treatment bed.

Thanks,,, I wanted to do this early but placing it very late to try and see what everybody else did

I keep wanting to do this too but end up forgetting. Free money deserves attention like Trofo says =p

[morvillz7z]

Inter with third comeback win on the road after being down 1:0 at the half. I'm not sure if this is a sign of weakness or the opposite, the team is resilient and capable of overcoming adversity and turning things around in the second halves of games. Sassuolo was not far away from putting the match out of reach with a second goal early in the second half though. I feel awful for them because this is their fourth loss in five games, i love that team and it's not looking good....  

Had a small bet on that same match, it's something i've been testing over the week, home dog to score + get a few corners. Bologna is my next test subject, lol wish me luck!

Prizes for this season:

We have 60 mBTC (40 mBTC Sportsbet sponsorship + 5 buwaytress sponsorship + 15x1 mBTC  buy in fee) in the pool, I decided to award first 4 places and best yellow cap this season.
1. place - 25 mBTC
2. place - 15 mBTC
3. place - 10 mBTC
4. place - 5 mBTC
Highest yellow cap - up to 5 mBTC, basically gets all that is left after paying tx fee

Remarks:
*There is no sharing of the prizes, Superbru has implemented tie breakers and I will use their final table as basis to pay out rewards
*All transaction fees will be paid out from highest yellow cap prize. Since we have 20 inputs and 5 outputs this will cost something, prize should still be above 4mBTC for sure.

Juve is slowly finding their rhythm,they have won their last few games,I always knew recalling Allegri back as coach was a great idea,he is building back the confidence of the players,he is a good coach but I still think Inter Milan are a few steps above them because they are the current champions and have a better team, they replace Lukaku with a great striker in Dzeko also but Juventus did not replace Ronaldo.is interesting to see how it all ends up comes the end of the season.

[buwaytress]

If anybody saw the results of the first 3 games today, then they're a complete genius because damn, 3-0 and 4-0 home wins, and then a 3-3 draw sandwiched in between? Crazy, crazy, crazy. I see nobody in our pool got even 1 point from Lazio, and absolutely no one got close scores for the other two games!

I can't see the future but I'm backing AC Milan to win away tonight is all.

No one could have seen that coming tbh, at home I would have expected goals at both ends but it was a huge upset... 

I went AC Milan as well, but would I be unfair to say Atalanta deserved better from the match? All in all, it was quite entertaining to watch and at least I can also boast of my first winning player of the game round.

It is not that I do not want,,, it is that I forget:) I have to this forum access on 1 computer which I cannot put any bookmark on and on my mobile phone, which has bookmarks but it is very annoying to access or even use because it is old and takes forever to load. So usually on my weekends which is the time I use mobile I am highly inactive and on work days I have to manually remember. I love the promos from Sportsbet and try to enter all of them!

Thanks Sportsbet for the amazing sponsorship too!

There are some workarounds that can help you. For instance you can watch the thread and see it pop up on watchlist every time there is new post.

You can also use telegram notification bot. I am using one from tryninja and it works great. I get notifications on telegram every time somebody quotes my post or mentions my name. You can also set it up to track any word maybe even phrase but that is newly added function and I did not try it yet.

Thanks yes other people have suggested this also and I agree there are great ways but it is hard to explain my computer situation I know about them but they are not implementable fully because,,, I do not have a computer I have a browser access that I get something like every 60 minutes and then not for 60 minutes (I have a random stagger shift at work,,, hard to explain!!), and I use the free time in between to check the forum. But I only log in temporarily and leave it,,, and then come back around the day until time to leave.

Only on my phone I truly have all-time access but as I mentioned not actually easy for typing like now.

All are excuses I know but for sure I will "manually" remember this, I am just new to this pool this is all:) Like EPL pool in my first try I forgot picks many times
