Reminder!!

@webtricks @Rifmax
If you want to join the pool you don't have much time left. La Liga starts this Friday. It was about time for some serious club level football to start again.
That will bring us to 13 and we only need 2 more for extra sponsor money.

@tomahawk9
Your tx finally confirmed and you have a PM waiting

For all of you who have already joined the pool, now you have to make some picks Only CapserBGD and I have made the pics for now. It would be shame to spend more than half default picks on the first match day.

Thanks for reminder. Usually I make picks very late, few moments before matchday starts. And last season it cost me some points because I remembered about predictor only when game is already in play. Probably I should change my strategy .

Hands down best strategy is to pick preliminary scores begging of the week while previous games are fresh in the mind but don't lock you picks. Then you revisit every single pick just before that game starts when you know all the line ups and possible injuries and tinker with the result if necessary.

Good thing about this strategy is that you never forget your picks and bad thing is that your first "instinct" pick ends up better than your final pick and that gets on your nerves quite quickly

Guys I'm a bit sad to say that I won't be able to join La liga pool on Superbru as I simpl realised I won't have enough time to watch all that games and track what is going on there so I had to choose one.

I chose Seria A and I have joined that pool instead, good luck to you all in this one though

[buwaytress]

Yeah, I've done all my picks for all my pools, based on a rather vague memory of what the teams were able to do last season -- I think nothing counts in a new season though so I will definitely look at how teams play in Week 1 to make further picks! I'm sticking to mainly favourites thouh;)

Granada tempting to pick for early season strength based on how they played early last season and post-lockdown.

Ah, no worries my friend. See you in the other pool then =D

[tomahawk9]

i was going to do this but the 'no crowd in stadiums' guideline is gonna give us a lot of surprises even in Matchweek 1...that plus the fact that some teams had key transfers (in/outs) in the squad like Valencia, Betis, Villareal, etc makes me wonder just how different they'll perform this season.

talking about squads, if anyone wants to check the latest player transfers, here's a link from Marca, it's in spanish but it's kinda intuitive

yeah, i expect a lot of surprises during the first match-week's, since it is not same to play without audience, although clubs already played at the end of last season, so they used to it, at least a bit

as well, think that this season could be really boring regarding champion title race, since Real is really in front to take it, but will be interesting to see where Barcelona will end up, i could not see it on spot 2, think that will be lower - third or even fourth

[buwaytress]

Yeah I actually think the no crowd thing works for clubs who play differently under pressure, and for clubs who feed off their supporters. So in general the big clubs actually lose out because they have a mentality that plays well at home, and plays better when the crowd is booing them.

Club like Arsenal benefits from no crowds (no home pressure and they're mentally very affected by boos).

So for now, I'm betting purely on how they performed towards the end of last season without crowds. Anyone go for big scores this Week 1?

this made me laugh way more than it should lol 😂 🤣

Anyone go for big scores this Week 1?

nothing too crazy, a 3-0 for Villareal and a 2-2 between Alaves and Betis, rest of the games are mostly under 2.5 goals, although the Valencian derby (valencia-levante) could be a high scoring match, 4 out of their last 5 meetings ended with at least 4 goals

still debating whether to include La Liga matches on my weekend bet slips or not, i might skip matchweek 1 and wait until the Big 4 return (barca, real, ateltico,sevilla)

Nothing stands out for me in this first match week games. If somebody made me to put money on something I would pick Villareal ML and Granada - Atletic under 2.5 goals. Those look like realistic choices but I will probably skip betting on La Liga at the beginning and wait to see the form of the teams before putting out big money on them.

I feel bad every time I say shit that's bad but true about them (with all due respect) and Spurs (sorry Gooners and Spurs bois).

That's pretty crazy IMO but yeah, who knows? Opening day adrenaline. I'm also considering keeping my parlays this weekend to just Prem League and maybe Championship ones.

I lost a big parlay 2 days ago on Norwich/City Academies in EFL, it was 18/1 on their own but I HAD to go and pad it up with England haha. Their academies were so sprightly I wonder if their senior team is even fresher.

I bet if I spent more time watching La Liga my betting would grow exponentially (worrying!).

yeah, one should wait few rounds to see how the things are going to roll-out in this "no audience" situation

agree on Granada, but think that Villareal could be a goals match, from my point of view for under goals is better Cadiz, or to put it in a perspective i do not expect 2-3 goals in Cadiz, will be either zero or one, or will be much more (i expect the first outcome without goals or one as a decision maker)

Neither for me. I picked Barca to win by 2 goals just because. I know we probably won't have Suarez by then but that just means we'll probably be playing Griezmann together with Coutinho and that sounds pretty fierce on its own.

Granada to win + Valencia + Villareal also sound like an "easy" 10x but nothing goes as predicted at these stages usually.

[casperBGD]

but Barca is postponed, so i will skip it for this weekend bet
did not saw the new termin for this match, when it is scheduled, if we are speaking regarding first round Barcelona and Elche match

I have been having trouble logging into my old superbru account, so I just decided to create a new one. I hope I am not late.
Somebody help me and  confirm, Is this the address to send funds to in order to join? 1Jz6CJsgZJNWDBjDEchpgbBhckTxsfA1Cg

Yes, that's the correct address, and welcome on board  

You need to be very fast with the transaction, though. There is barely an hour before the first game gets underways and hopefully Trofo would confirm and accept your application to meet the kick off.

Thanks.
I just had to send the BTC using high priority fees and the transaction has one confirmation already. I hope Trofo sees my PM before kick off

Yup hurrryyy!  You got like a tad less than 15 mins before Eibar and Celta Vigo starts.  You can join the Italian pool too while you're at it if you want.

You are in now, you sure like to cut it close. Let me know what happened with the first match.

I think you could have picked the scores even before joining the pool and you would have points after joining. If you did not do that maybe you got a default score which is good as well. At worst you are one game behind but it should not matter much in the long run anyway. Especially since it is a tough one to predict.

Best of luck and glad you are with us.

[hahay]

I put the score 0-1 for the Cadiz CF vs Osasuna match and it looks like it still doesn't guarantee to get an exact score because there is still a second half where there might be another goal or this 0-1 score will last until the end of the match, because the two previous games were also there weren't many goals scored and apart from that, I'm not sure Cadiz CF will score a goal in this match.
