there haven't been such party in Mestalla for a while. Valencia is detroying Getafe 5:0. Congrats @casperBGD. Stadium is literally waving.

thanks man, this is the play we all expect from our team, but Valencia is presenting it rather ones in a year

nevertheless, good for self-esteem, although opponent is not great, this one could up our form in following rounds, schedule in first few rounds was not on our side as well

Villareal was great also, they are playing as top4 team this season, and with Sevilla as it is, their place in CL next season is reachable

Slaman must be a happy man, you won a lot of bets from the very comfortable victory?

Yes, happy very happy. I was actually purely worried that our team would not have time to gel together because Sevilla is not an easy team at home but it was proven to be another off night for them, luckily not for us.

We do still have this card problem as you say but that's not so important for me until we get suspensions on important players.

@casperBGD indeed, well done, Valencia always making life difficult for us but good to see the goals and make good memories of the season first

[Trofo]

Barca with comfortable victory in the end but that game could have gonne in whole different direction. Watched it from beginning and Barca defense was criminal before first goal. They let several big chances and if Sevilla was a bit more clinical it could have been at least 2:0 for them and who knows what would happen than.

I know I am forcing both to score on Barca for few weeks after watching this performance.

[buwaytress]

Oi oi Villareal and Valencia! I only got 1 point each from these games, but happy to rack them up anyway, doubt many people could have foreseen that scoreline (though I will say last season I put 4 goals on their games often enough!).

And another Lewie goal so at least he's paying off his price pretty quickly. Have to say 1.85 is really good odds considering Sevilla's shocking form, somehow missed that or would have put it in my acca.

I didn't watch the game (although I bet massively on it), but I have no doubt that, due to Barcelona's recent successes, it will now be overvalued in all statistical respects. But for the next game, I find it difficult to say whether the odds are good or not. In the end Cadiz scored zero points and scored zero goals. It is unlikely that it will start earning them starting from Barcelona.

11.50 - 5.90 - 1.24  BTTS No = 1.75

Barcelona have only conceded a goal in the 4 games played so far, while Cadiz are still yet to score any goal this season, so the BTTS might look too much of a risk for what its worth, but if you put into considered the recent H2H history between both clubs, you might think Cadiz could stand a chance, Barcelona have only won 3 of their last 7 games vs Cadiz, and won none of the last 4 encounters, losing and draw twice each in the last 4 games, I understand the fact Barcelona seemed like a completely different team from the last two seasons, but some scars are just hard to erase.


I started the round somewhat strongly with 2 exact scores in and a close one in the first 3 games, but it's been down the hill for me after those games, I'm barely hanging by a thread with the hope of some resurrection from the last game of the round.

When I wrote previous post I did not look at future fixtures. I just commented on the fact that Barcelona looks unsettled in defense and that proper teams can use that to their advantage. Sevila had so many clear goal chances in the beginning but they managed to miss most of them and the rest was scooped up by Ter Stegen.

Cadiz could be a bit too weak in the attack for me to actually take that BTTS bet but I will take it against every good team for sure.

[slaman29]

I want to agree about Cadiz's weaknesses but it's still too soon to forget what they managed to do to take points from both us and Real Madrid last season!

Of course, past season has no bearing on this one, but still, it may also not be any longer that both teams are concerned with getting breached, just to be able to keep goals free flowing.

[darxiaomi]

Yes but i think Cadiz luck of the last season for managing to draw several matchs end. So we can see the real team, a team who doesnt play good football and only rely in his goalkeeper saves and one goal unexpected from a corner or a magnificent play from a player.

Its early yes, but i seem them in LaLiga 2 if they dont wake up fast.

Why it might be a risk if I'm talking about BTTS No? I do not believe in historical patterns, in my opinion all games that are more than 2 from the current one have an extremely weak impact on the current state of things. In this case, I see that Cadiz is very weak in attack, so such a generous odds of 1.75 that suggests that their weakness will not be interrupted on Barcelona is quite profitable.

It's funny that after Cadiz, Barcelona will play with Elche, which are also not very strong in attack - they scored only one goal.

[slaman29]

Don't forget after such exciting games last few nights we are back in normal league action, beginning with La Liga.

Will Valencia continue their fine form and get another 3 points? Or will they shit the bed again for everyone of us?

Tempted to take BTTS at least or Valencia handicap but I need to wait a few more hours to get my insurance.

Hate that wait for insurance, tried to talk with Sportsbet so they make it once per day instead once per 24 hours. Meaning it resets let's say midnight every day. This way I am trying to start with insured tickets early on Saturday, then each consecutive day I lose a bit of time and then on Friday I don't use it to reset the timer. Bit too complicated but still such great promo.

I don't trust teams like Valencia and Sevilla, no matter how good form they are showing at that particular moment.

[darxiaomi]

Im plenty with you Trofo in the two things you said, yes the 24 hours can be hurtly when you have matches the next day but not before that 24 hours.

And in the second one, Valencia was ever an avoid team in all my bets, but now Sevilla also its a must to avoid in this season. Maybe if Lopetegui its fired up can change or if the team wake up.

[tomahawk9]

Valencia couldn't beat Rayo last season (two draws), plus i think there might be some kind of curse going on here because it's been a few years since Valencia's last win in Vallecas. Sevilla are gonna fight to avoid relegation unless Lopetegui gets sacked. Like @darxiaomi said,, avoid both teams

BTTS or Over 2.5 seem like decent picks for Betis - Villareal on sunday. Other than that i don't think i'll place many bets in la liga this weekend, this matchweek is full of very one-sided matches (at least on paper)

I do not trust Sevilla either, but regarding Valencia, they are mid table team last two years, so it is a bit hard to expect from them winning away matches often
and yeah, it hurts if you are a fan, and expect more, but one has to be reasonable

interesting round, a lot of tight matches, with just Barca, Atletico and Real as clear favorites in their matches

expecting solid football in Betis vs Villareal match

I don't mind if they are predictably bad and I can bet against them. Velencia is one of those clubs that can often snatch points when they are outsiders and loose them when they are favorites. And to make it even worse they do it in very unpredictable way.

Have both to score in the game tonight but not really expecting it to hit. Just wanted to play something for low stake.

Your bet hit from the very first half, congratulations!

I checked the pool and discovered I was the only one with Valladolid to win prediction, It could have gone my way though because Valladolid did create so many opportunities, but they just couldn't get it done at the end of the day.

[buwaytress]

@Harko: Damn, the only Valladolid guy? I didn't even check but I thought most people would have opted for the draw, with Girona only winning against an even shittier Getafe earlier. As it turns out, 11 of us got points...

Add me to that list of haters. Especially let's say when you had a busy day, and you only can put a bet on the late evening, then you sort of screw yourself up the whole week waiting till late to use insurance (or skip a day so you can use it next morning).

Same with the boosts too... I know not everyone uses them but since I like taking longshots, 10/1 becomes 11/1 with the boost and that's REALLY important for me =)

And I hate Valencia too but they're on my ticket. So feel free to win free money betting against them.

[slaman29]

buway looks like you really know how to jinx Valencia after all and wow even Sevilla managed to get a solid win. I don't really care, those teams can do whatever they want as long as we keep winning by big margins and our boys all manage to score.

Would be really cool for Real to drop points today though so we can enjoy being top a little time more hehe

Yup, bed shitting starts early, and Sevilla wins will trick us all into believing they've turned a corner.

Also hoping for Real to stop their perfect streak and I know Mallorca aren't exactly the best bet but I took one over 11/1 at Fairlay... Benzema was out injured last game so maybe we have something... Hazard played well but he's never going to smash the charts right out of injury and Vini's got to have a day off at some point no?

Already 1-0 up, so of course I place a bet on Real live to hedge this
