[Trofo]

yeah, two matches tonight, and the one between Napoli and Roma should be a good one, will show how much is Napoli determined to fight for a title
Atalanta will probably use this match today to get down bookies, with some unexpected result

strange Monday, with Barca playing as well, it should be a entertaining match with Cadiz, but I do not expect many goals

Napoli probably thought they won it already but in the end, the only winner is BTTS aka Trofo Atalanta are just so horrible now, this is Verona and they are at home, do they not want to play in Champions League next season? No one in our pool got that right.

Anyway I fell lower and lower in this pool now Number 9. I remember slaman29 has been all the time below me until this week finally. 

You know I cashed out a nice ticket when both games in Serie A finish with both to score. Wasn't concerned even for a minute, I knew Roma was gonna score. That was basically free money


Too bad I already gave back all those mBTC. Tennis today was brutal for me. Maybe the worst in the last couple of years.

So,,, Inter versus Juventus in Coppa? Or will Juventus lose?

Well done I knew someone would be able to profit from this! I definitely thought it would be easy to hit, but of course when it is my turn to pick,,, I find a game with one clean sheet. So you should thank me for not putting those selections on my multis 

Not really following tennis but I read that the big names were all out early in the current ATP. Guess that's what happened to you?

L.O.L. Salernitana popped up and won, now they do have a game in hand to crawl above the bottom heap and maybe not get relegated. Early way for me to knock out my shitty bets today, time to double down on English games and hope I don't wash out again.

So much for "safe" picks this round huh.

Go take a punt on our free bet challenge, I feel like it is time for you or me to win some freebies

This time we have Serie A only games since La Liga is not playing on Sunday, don't know why, maybe league cup. But we have two nice derby games with Inter -Roma and Lazio - Milan so I don't think anybody will complain.

When it comes to those middle-of-the-table teams who have nothing to play for the rest of the season, there are no "safe" picks. I know firsthand since i nearly blew a 30-point lead at the top last year while trying to follow logic and play it safe, the last few rounds were all mental. Word of advice, if you still have a chance at any of the prize spots, don't trust any of the teams placed 9-15, like seriously, don't!

The odds for Salernitana to win were dropping all day, i didn't have the balls to go with anything more than 1-1 for our pool, well....betbuilder was a different story:



I'm not saying Udinese did em' a favor (i did not watch the whole match), but a 93-min 3-on-1 counter-attack seems odd, to say the least.

Already done, and thank you as usual. I'm getting more and more busy these days with different things (for a change, it used to be more studies and I finished it finally last week but now weirdly enough more other real life things came up) and if I were doing that challenge, I'd definitely forget it a lot.

Definitely not complaining. Actually apart from Liverpool and City in EPL now, I'm finding Serie A games like these more interesting (as that's still a wide open top 4 race).

@morvillz7z I have been seeing Salernitana as safe pick against, as odds are still over 1.5 on them but yeah, you know, random shit. But I agree. Don't play too fancy in these last few rounds, if it seems too tight, go for the draw. My strat anyway.

This season of Serie A its indecipherable, how you can know a team like Salernitana who are in the bottom of the tabble with 0 real chances to go up, win 2 games in a row and not only that, in the away condition.

At the top the same, nobody knows who can  be the champion.

Definitely as a neutral I can say this is the most exciting league table in Europe (top and bottom),,, personally I always thought the quality of football was bad but I have to admit to be wrong. EPL is still the best quality but maybe I only say as I watch Spurs the most and it just seems to fast and fluid compared to anything else.

In the long run, having a league like Serie A is good for the entire country. No one can rest, Juventus domination is gone, and every week til the end is worth watching

Serie A has good competition on both ends of the table but I can't say I enjoy watching Italian clubs play. There is just something missing there for my taste. My first choice is always Premier League or Champions league followed by LaLiga, Bundesliga and only then it comes to Serie A and my local HNL.

I like to bet on Serie A with my staple both to score but I never watch the games

[darxiaomi]

I feel the same as Trofo when i was a child i usually see the Seriea A and i love it but now i dont know why but i dont care and i dont like to see the Serie A, i maybe think its because the lack of Big teams and Players.

Yes you can say to me they have big players and that its true but are big players in his fall, like Cristiano with 35 years or others.
Players who have already given the best of their careers in other leagues and now come to this

[buwaytress]

Wish I could say I knew more about European football but I was in my late teens by the time I even knew my first exposure... English football and Liverpool. Everything I knew later was through Champions League and of course Milan was all I knew plus Juventus... And even then it was only mid 2000s when I could watch live games and it was rare to see Serie A.

By that time my impression was not good. My first exposure to constant offside and timewasting and simulation haha.

[casperBGD]

all teams that played today scored goals so far, somehow think that Trofo is happy about that
and Inter showed Napoli how one team that is chasing the title should play against Roma, clean cut from their side, letting goal in last minutes that did not changed a bit

Inter is now on the top, point above Milan, expect a tough race till the end

Unfortunately not a good day for me since I did not have a single bet on Serie A today. I had a super busy day, bought new furniture for my daughter's room so I had to assemble all that. Just played one ticket and did not even watch any football.

Ah well, tomorrow will be a day to chill out and hopefully watch some good game.

To be honest I always felt that way too but without actually looking properly at Italian games. And if I am being perfectly honest,,, sometimes I can watch EPL games and feel really bored, especially midtable teams but even watching my own team sometimes. Maybe because I watch replay and not live,,, I do not know. But then again I also watch Serie A games now not live.

Maybe it is seeing fresh faces and new teams and just a general disappointment in many 'big' teams of EPL.

Right. Anyone else got hoodwinked by Salernitana... yet again? Stupid question of course as only rdbase went for the win. Poor icopress even tried a draw and lost. I even had the gall to put Fiorentina to win at FOUR nil. It's not like they haven't done it before haha.

Avoided that banana skin on my ticket, and hoping that's the extent of it cause I already took some risks today, but so far Bologna looking good (and yes I put Napoli on ticket).

What about Napoli then? They lost today only because I put them on my ticket as ML. I already said so many times, only BTS in Serie A and it passes every time. I was sure Napoli wins today and they even had 2:0 lead. I already thought that is a win and went to watch other games. Of course, they managed to concede 3 goals in last 10 minutes and loose 3:2. I am just happy the bastards lost and that it wasn't 2:2. They don't deserve the title

Davide Nicola has the opportunity to do something in Serie A that i don't believe has ever been done before, keeping three different teams from relegation in three consecutive years.

He took over as Genoa manager 4 months into the 19/20 season when the team was at the bottom of the table with very few points, and Genoa avoided relegation.

Last year, Torino was in the bottom three i believe, playing uninspiring football with no end in sight, but Nicola managed to turn things around and retain the team spot in Serie A.

Now, Salernitana has three straight wins out of nowhere, and the remaining fixtures aren't too bad either, with Venezia, Cagliari, and Udinese at home, and Atalanta and Empoli on the road. If in fact, Salernitana manages to avoid relegation, he can truly be called an escape artist (which is something the media has been calling him for a while).

AC Milan are leading in their league game, although inter Milan has one outstanding game to play to levelled Points with AC Milan. The Seria A this season is full of competitions for the top spots. AC Milan and Inter Milan are battling for the winner of Seria A title while the rest teams are battling for Top 4th. Juventus are even struggling to maintain their spot for the top 4. This is one of the second worst season on a row for the Old Lady, as they failed this season also to win the reclaimed their Title. Last season was Inter Milan that lift the trophy, this season Seria A title is under probability, a 50/50 chance between AC Milan and Inter Milan. Let's hope the best team wins.

[Trofo]

Damn, just realized how bad my picks were for this round, full 2.5 points. Can't believe I am still at 4th place but I lost all the cushion behind me and all the guys in front of are now way ahead. One bad week like this is enough to seriously hinder my plans for this league 

Probably Juve gonna loose 1:0 so I loose both my ticket and what is left of dignity in the pool.

Vast majority of the pool went with Juventus 2-1, I had thoughts of going for a 2-0 win but Juventus just can't be trusted enough for me.

MoSala is by all chance running away with the first prize, there's probably no catching up to him, I was able to climb up 2 second position last week iirc, but Sojourner is up my butt, a slight mistake, I might just go down the pecking order again.
