So, who got screwed by Inter? I just missed placing the bet on both to score even though I intended to do it Never in my wildest dreams would I think that Inter will be the one to not score.

Now my money is on Lazio both to score. They have been shaky on travels so I expect them to score and concede at least a goal tonight.

[buwaytress]

Yup, Inter also my shameful bet of Sunday. At least I lost on Leeds and even Furth but they were both very possibly on the cards for an upset!

I not only had them on ML but on BTTS, and I thought it cleared because they were 5 minutes on Livescores showing as 1-2 but I guess goal was ruled out (wasn't watching). Can't say I'm that mad though as other legs failed. A lot of draws at HTs ruined me.

Don't tell me they're going to be the next Atalanta, disappointing every game bleh.

I never go against Bayern, they are far superior team in their country (probably even the bigger difference than PSG to other teams) and I do not risk betting against them
of course, they can lose some matches here and there, and it is just probability, there is no pattern that some team can play better against them, if they want to play, even Dortmund or Leipzig can conceive several goals

back to Calcio, Lazio played boring 1:1, with Udinese, but at least both-to-score came

Same thing today, I am looking at Napoli match and thinking about ML but then I remember my decision and change it to both to score. Much better odds of 2.1 and of course it came in the end and ML did not.

I think I just won the luckiest ticket of my life, had Napoli bts, Galata bts and 3x tennis on favorites to not have more than 12.5 games. Basically bet that favorite will win 2:0 in sets without need for tie break. Two of those favorites actually lost the matches and my bet passed.

And I'm yet to get first point in this round. I thought about changing Cagliari - Napoli result to draw, considering all these upsets in this round. But then decided to go with Napoli win because it can't be so many surprises in single round. Yeah...
@Trofo, BTTS in Napoli game was difficult one, Napoli didn't looked good and scored just in the end. But congrats. Personally, this season I fail to make such good decisions most of time like never before. Probably I need to make short break in betting.

Probably I need to make short break in betting.

sometime it is wise to make that
I was betting too much four-five years ago, and decided to quit for a while, then started to play with beer-money stakes, and I feel much better now, having fun making bets that usually do not get through, but it is not much on stake, so nothing to worry about

this round is disaster for me as well in the pool, but MoSala is on fire

[icopress]

Yup, Inter also my shameful bet of Sunday. [...]

This is probably my worst round.

[darxiaomi]

Well unbeliable round this for the Serie A all the top teams losing points vs mid and low teams. Nobody can make profit for the other losing or draw.

Really bad for Milan they have the chance to put a gap to Inter. And Napoli no words allways the same all the years when they can go for the tournament they blow up

The images of Mou wilding up on the sideline against Verona should sum up how most of us felt about this game week. I've lucked out with two exact scores, but everything else has been a major letdown. I believe we have three guys who ended up with zero points recording a perfect donut, which in itself is probably a record...but when only one of the top 10 teams wins their game, this is the end result...carnage.

Btw, Mourinho is likely to get more than one game ban for his antics.

Same here, 2 exact scores to keep me competitive in the pool. I can't complain about betting though. I played 5 both to score games from Serie A this week and all 5 passed. To be fair I wanted to play it on Inter as well, but came home too late and Sassuolo already scored.

[leea-1334]

Worst round for a lot of us I guess,,, and just not so long ago I was thinking I was doing "well" in a new league and I got 1 result and 1 close.

MoSalah is really the impressive person of all, 3 exact scores to show us how to get yellow cap in a tough round, and how to not concede #1 spot. 6 draws this week, so whoever loves picking draws, congrats.  

Not a single of us got any slam point!

It was general flop, It's impressive how some got 9 points, but all those points came from exact scores.

I had just one exact and zero point from the remaining 9 fixtures, the bookies must have had a great weekend from the Serie A bettors!

I think that this is a first complete round that I finished without any points
cannot say that all results were unexpected, but obviously were not "my cup of tea"

on the other hand, had been solid with both-to-score on bookings, seems as 1:1 now a favorite score in Calcio

I think for me it's also first time when I got 0 points from full round. And it wasn't enough to get wooden spoon .
You'fe right that not all games were big upsets, some just were 50/50 games. But it's difficult to remember similar story from top 5 league when all first 7 teams on table fail to win their games.

yeah, I am not sure why I got the wooden spoon, since I am not the only one with 0 points, at least I got something

neither from top teams did not won the match, and it is really unexpected, do not forget that Inter and Milan play their respective matches tomorrow night, beginning of the round
@Trofo, what will you put for weekend Challenge

Damn a guy gets a bit behind and immediately with the name calling Just kidding I appreciate the subtle reminder, this time I actually did not forget but was away for a couple of days on mini holidays.

Grading the last week challenge now and then I'll pick the games, it will be Lazio - Napoli for Serie A, couldn't be anything else. Check up the challenge thread in about 15 minutes.

 mini holidays.

if it was in Amarin, than it is all forgiven
my wife actually gave me a hint that Amarin is a great family hotel, and we should visit, so maybe I will come to some mini holiday in your area as well

Lazio - Napoli is probably the best one, agree

Damn, now I am worried about my personal security...you stalking me It was actually Amarin and it is absolutely great for vacation with kids. If you need some advice or first person experience call me, it was our 3rd visit there. Decided to go at least once a year. Tip: go over the winter, rooms are much cheaper (5x sometimes) and there is more than enough things to do, and book couple of months in advance for even bigger discounts. We are already thinking about January.

Sorry about off topic guys and let me know if anyone else needs a vacation in my country

[buwaytress]

casper, Trofo, this is extremely off topic but I was at dinner talking about places to consider to go take the family now that this year finally seems "normal" and I was trying to lobby for Croatia haha.

Anyway, disappointment for all of us with Milan. They drop points, everyone else saves them and drop points, but surely they can't expect Inter to do it AGAIN?

[casperBGD]

casper, Trofo,

yeah, year got normal after being in lockdown and everything, hopefully situation in Ukraine will also stabilize fast, so vacation planning will be main topic again in summer

back to topic, Milan got another 1:1 in Calcio, however Inter is still goalless, maybe this will be another 0 point round for me
