Hehe I saw I had a yellow cap in this pool too, darbit 3 yellow caps, and not only did @leea-1334 get the highest-scoring yellow cap, he also got the lowest-scoring yellow cap 8.5 points damn!

Guess I need to pay more attention to this pool lol

Supposedly this was supposed to be MY favorite league But after a couple of years not following football I have to say I am equal in knowledge of Serie A and La Liga, maybe even more Premier League these days,,, lost the passion for following Italian football, but also harder to follow now as coverage is difficult.

So in a way, nice to see I can still get yellow caps  

Now we must focus on qualification, it has been too long away from the WC scene, more than 10 years! Forza Italia!!!

[paco92x]

Only 7 points this week, with a lot of bad luck with the predictions. I also managed to miss two games—I was waiting for them and somehow forgot to place the results, but still watched them .

It’s not looking good. The leaders of this pool are now more than 50 points ahead of me, so it’s just for fun now, as no one can come back from that far behind. As I see, there are some real experts here when it comes to the Italian league. I didn’t think I would be this low in the table—maybe 5th or 6th place, not 18th.

It happens to all of us, I also missed Europa League picks and thats worse because I was actually 6th in that pool so I risked prizes if I forgot.

Yellow caps are the only reason left for playing, too bad Sportsbet is no more so there is no freebet to come with this award.

BTW Superbru is luck, not expert, but I can't explain the luck of @KTChampions

Its hard for me to look into that summary and see i won 3/4 times the yellow cap but since SB is not longer here with us i didnt receive a freebet for that.

I need to kep the phase if i want to end in paid positions in this pool, normally i didnt do good in this pool and i always do better on LaLiga one but in this season in which i dont pay so much attention to the predictions pools all is diferent im doing much better here than in the spain one.

If we include all rounds from 1-30, you've won 6 yellow cap so far, damn thats crazy😂

I'm in 6th place so I still have a chance to win something this season but it won't be easy because those behind me are breathing down my neck 😁

Ya bro I feel you,,, such tough luck for all of us, but luckily we have some good sponsors for the pools next season, judging from the renewal of BSFL.

I do not know what is the pure statistics of the pools from the very beginning but if @KTChampions is top 3 again next season in the pools,,, I will demand a big investigation and nullification of all freebets for him

Yes, not getting a free bet is quite painful, considering we all took this option into account when entering pools. For example, in the EPL pool, I'm as far away from the prizes as possible, so it would seem like a free bet is the only thing worth fighting for, but it's no longer there. But this is more of a reflection on missed opportunities than a real problem, I still burn free bets on bets at x100 or similar odds 
As for the results, it’s too early to talk, the season is in full swing

Well im also guilt in that, o keep spending most of them in crazy odds but in some places we cant do it anymore, in rain-bet we cant do it they put the celing very close to us so we cant go farther than 3.5 or something like that, the most crazy thing is i feel like i win much more bets with crazy odds than now with lowers odds, im in a very unlucky run right now.

Yes, you reminded me of that! I currently have a free bet and here are the conditions: number of outcomes from 1 to 3, odds from 1.8 to 3.5. To put it mildly, these are strange conditions - after all, you cannot choose 3 outcomes, as then you will exceed the maximum allowed odds of 3.50. In general, it is quite difficult to pick two outcomes to get a figure close to 3.50, and the last time I bet on Newcastle to qualify, the odds were exactly 3.50

Yes at the start i try to search and build a multubet who was nearby to that 3.5 ceiling but after sometime i start to just bet below it since like you said is nearby to imposible to combine a few ones without going over.

I said i dont like that format of freebet, i know are "free" but give at least a 10 ceiling. This ones dont give a "rush" for win it.

Yes,,, very unlucky about Sportsbet. I mean the site is even still functioning now, and people are still playing on it. I finally ended my last bet there this month too, and withdrew everything, just in case I do not understand why they could not continue, you are right @KTChampions for many of us the freebet was a big reason to join, especially if you do not know the sports well or do not have high hopes for winning, trying every week for a top spot is the man incentive.

Also like you said though,,, when was the last time I won something from a freebet I hardly remember or rather,,, after winning I keep gambling it and bust  

@darbit for me Rainbet odds is quite hard to find, because 2x means you get back the cash amount of the freebets, and 2x in multi is already 4 so I find I have to pick a game I like and pick a favorite I do not know nothing about

Yes, is not so easy anymore. About sportsbet to everyone be carefull right now they are asking for KYC i was still playing there until this week they put me a mandatory KYC for withdraw thankfully i have litle money there but still a pain to see them now in that path, seems like they are following what Steve said in their statements now they are pursuing to be a fully lawfull bookie.

This is the only reason I stopped at Sportsbet,,, before it was Steve who could 'waive' our accounts from KYC, he already knew us anyway. It is not that I do not want to do KYC, it is just that it is not allowed in my country and if I send my documents, the central government knows and then it is over for me

I wonder a lot about such things but maybe there is only this forum left for gamblers, and the few crypto casinos that do not mandatory KYC,,, but of those, I wonder how many last 5 years.

[KTChampions]

~i was still playing there until this week they put me a mandatory KYC for withdraw thankfully i have litle money there but still a pain to see them now in that path, seems like they are following what Steve said in their statements now they are pursuing to be a fully lawfull bookie.

If it's not a secret, why can't you pass the KYC? And why can't you withdraw money without passing the KYC? I think all casinos that have implemented the KYC at least allow withdrawals (for example, I can't play on Stake because I haven't completed the KYC, but I can easily withdraw the money I receive for the signature campaign). I myself can’t pass the KYC practically anywhere (due to the fact that I’m from Russia), but at least I hope that if this issue becomes strict, I will be able to withdraw money.

You must be happy to get the scoreline you got then, all Italy need to do now is do another Italy and keep a clean sheet, everything will be fine.

Why did you lose the passion for Italian football? It actually got a bit more exciting over the years right?

For me, I do lose more and more excitement of following football in general, it just seems more and more commercial. La Liga especially, full of rubbish shit like playing games in other countries.

Thanks for doing this recap, was meaning to do it several times already but time is always short. Will probably get to do it for my other pools in a week or two when we kick start new BSFL season. At the moment I am spending my time there 

Too bad you didn't use the same format as I did, then I could have just copy pasted it to OP.

Indeed,,, all Italy need to do is play the game they have always believed in and they will make it. It was the self-doubt that made them lose,,, rather than overconfidence. The true killer of football teams. Just look at Tottenham  

About Italian football, so many things. Being less and less competitive in Europe and having the least amount of money is one thing,,, you can see and hear Italian stadiums are breaking down, academies are getting bankrupt, and teams are selling out, many teams do not even own their own stadium in Italy, San Siro, Stadio Maradona, these big teams can't even afford to buy or manage their own playing home  

Then talking about foreign owners,,, half of Serie A has US ownership, Como is the biggest example of how Serie A clubs is just a playtoy for the rich, changed ownership and image multiple times, now owned by Indonesia, like there is so many things to make you lose passion

Some people do not care, Premier League is even more foreign owned but those fans do not really care   And at least in Premier League usually US is not the controlling owner.
