What's this, Barca? 2 draws in a row, both no goals? I do agree, sort of the most stable league in a sense, Barca/Real up there, okay we had that weird Atletico season but it still sees the same top 4.

Can't really make any assessment though, haven't watched enough, and probably even watching less and less these days. I still feel like Real and Barca both lose enough games to make betting on them interesting though.

Few recent games were difficult to watch, now probably even Atletico games is more fun to watch. We see similar things all season long, only difference from recent games is that Barca managed to find that 1 goal to win games. OK, this season we already almost have La Liga in our hands, but I don't think that such playing style can become image of Barca. I think main problem that we don't have creative midfielders, esepecially it's visible when de Jong and Pedri is injured.]
Barca dominated against Girona or Getafe, but it's dififcult to say that they deserved to win these games.

Why Barcelona? I think Barcelona will dominate the segunda 
In fact, with all the random results, La Liga is one of the most stable - look at what's going on in Serie A or the Bundesliga. That's where random and chaos that takes your money.
As for Sevilla, I see no reason to bet on them - the odds are too small for such a big risk, plus it all depends on United - if everything goes well for them, then no Sevilla (even if they play well) will be a hindrance.

In fact, this is 3 games without goals in a row (did you remember the defeat by Real 0-4? even if it's not La Liga). The fact that the luck of Barcelona will someday end and "luck" will swing in the other direction was clear for a long time and now the natural thing is happening. I think there will be many more points to lose in the remaining games, but I'm not sure what should be pursued to make a profit on this.

Espanyol Cadiz is the "Welcoming" game for La Liga and it's probably the least interesting for me personally.

Atletico is quietly moving up table but their main hurdle will be to win, while hoping Real Madrid lose a bit of focus and drop points.

Atletico 2nd and Real 3rd possible? Only if we lose on weekend

[slaman29]

Oh god I did so badly yesterday games I'm really lucky I didn't drop out of my position, but it doesn't help that the cushion reduced a lot, a t the same time the gap to 7th place has also become bigger.

If Barcelona don't win tonight again, I'll be really really worried about my position, I need to be in at least 1 spot for prizes!

Finally Barca scored, after all, it was already 3 games in a row without goals. And typical 1:0 win - it's safe to say that Barca is new Atletico. But it's unbeleavable how Lewa failed  to score when he went 1 on 1 with goalkeeper and also had free teammate in the middle.
Sevilla had to scre up things for me by scoring late goal against Villarreall, really bad round for me.

[casperBGD]

tough and important win over already relegated Elche, local match, crowd as at home certainly helped
now we need to connect two wins, in a home match against Valladolid, and to look at another relegation derby between Getafe and Almeria, who to push into relegation zone

Alberto Mari debuted for Valencia, 11 goals on 7 matches in Valencia B, and directly promoted to first team to help secure next season in La Liga

I know! The strange thing is I even avoided to put new bets on this game as I was really worried something was off, and Atletico is always a tough opponent no matter the circumstance, but there is a little bit of relief this time.

Only wish I went for 1-0 as their old times but I thought if they were going to win again, it would be a different Barca, guess I was wrong. In fact picked 3-1 for both Barca and Villareal, both proved me to be too enthusiastic.

Good luck casper, I think I'm going to put Valencia on my bets again. Exact score was great too. It's time to survive!

[buwaytress]

What the hell, Real? Haha. I had a pretty good ticket going, some of the toughest legs done and dusted, thought Real was almost a sure thing, and then the lineup showed up and I feared the worst.

2 nil down, then they got one back, odds were actually 5/1 even going down then so even the bookies have faith, but serves me right if they don't win. Ha.

Because Barcelona opened the gap a lot this kind of results wouldn't be a big surprise. Real Madrid players might be having difficulties in concentrating on the La Liga matches from now on. Furthermore we shouldn't forget that Benzema isn't in the squad as well tonight.

4:1 at the moment, Girona is real Catalan club, don't want to let kings down
hoping for the same outcome in Basketball Euroleague, where Partizan is facing Real in Madrid, currently one point up

nevertheless, my focus is on Cadiz, expected more from them, but 0:1 to Osasuna suits us great, in relegation fight, hopefully we will do our part against Valladolid, will be a survival fight for Valencia till the end

[darxiaomi]

I hate Real Madrid in betting for this kind of things, its unbelievable how they make a game like this and in two weeks maybe they win  3-0 against City, its a total nonsense.

Seems like for every goal who Valentin Castellanos makes the more devaluated the argentinian peso was. Poker against Real Madrid what a night for him, first guy in 76 years to make this.

Real loses in La Liga at this stage shouldn't be surprising. La Liga is over for them and all their focus in on Champions league. But Castellano scoring poker, when I first saw someone posted in one chat about it, I thought it's joke. And he scored it not against some random team, but it's Real after all. Career night for him.
Betis - Real Sociedad, what a waste of time. Expected something more than 0:0 from these teams. It's not bad result for Real Sociedad in fight for Champions league, they keep 6 points distance from Betis.
0 points from 3 games for me :/

Yeah, Castellanos 4 - 2 Real  He probably doubled his market price with this performance. There is very few players that managed to score 4 goals against Real. I belive I read somewhere there are 4 and interestingly enough only one that still plays football is Lewandowski from Dortmund days. Maybe Castellanos to Barca soon as well?

I'm also a victim apparently and not just Real Madrid football but also basketball lol

They were freebets so I don't lose anything but I really didn't think it would be Real to let me down.

I remember you mentioning of argentinian peso before and it seems you guys hit a record for over 100% inflation in a year.

Maybe it's my curse to put Sevilla and Valencia on the multi, so I might consider making a separate multi for those 2 now.

it is a bit off-topic, but Real losing to Partizan in basketball was a real close call, Punter scored three pointer in last seconds, worth watching certainly
sorry for your bet, but my team made huge step to F4 this season, have to finish it off without series getting back to Madrid

looking at La Liga odds, Celta or Atletico home win are much safer bet than Barca to win against Rayo, but overall for me all have similar chances to win, I Barca bet has best value

[famososMuertos]

:://..::

obviously it is the type of results that raise myths, and/or make bullrun memes and seems to influence economies...  
... a little credibility for the winner, Girona was presented with an opportunity, they got it. Girona are there to complete the 20 teams, but also so that every 76 years these things happen.

The "soup" had its seasonings. Real Madrid did not play with the starting 11, Etc. eTc. and etC, so, perhaps if they lose by one goal, there would not be such a scandal (Meme) the thing is that we had 6 goals in a game in which we did not expect it.

If the result would have been 1-0 in favor of Girona, the headline is Real Madrid lost, blah (Etc), blah (eTc), blah (etC) but with this result we must give its fair value to the Girona.

This result is a Meme for Real Madrid, for Girona it is history, one they will remember forever.

[slaman29]

Of course after Real cost me two tickets, Barca cost me an even bigger one.

I should have just stuck to Brentford alone but being a freebet, the winnings was going to be less than the odds, (minus wager amount) and I thought Barca would get another narrow victory to try and wrap up the title even earlier.

Boy I was wrong!!

[buwaytress]

Yikes Slam, sounds like you're also getting the "get ruined by the club you support" disease heh.

That said, I have been getting a few steady MLs on Barca when odds are 2/1 and up, maybe stick to that kind of value bet? Or try correct scores of 1:0 and 2:0 heh heh.

What do you guys think of this Sevilla coach? The most direct ever, what they need now. But someone they will have to replace, surely, next season? Odds on them today are incredible too...

[casperBGD]

that was a tough win, but last minute goal saved us, and three points are booked against Valladolid
second half was just shot-out for Valencia, without any target, try and shot to reach the goal line somehow, and hope to see it into the net (but all expect two goals were wide off the target)

nevertheless, after this three pointer, it is getting easier to finish off relegation battle and push Cadiz/Almeria/Getafe into Segunda

[LTU_btc]

Don't want to talk much about yesterday's Barca game, shortly, it was one of worst games this season and no chance to win. At this stage I'm just waiting that season would end sooner because now Barca looks capable to waste such big lead.
Today I mistakenly pot much bigger stake on Villarreal than I planned, it was more than half of my bankroll. Try to imagine my reaction when Villarreal made score 2:2. Fortunately for me Villarreal won game and gave me big relief.
Very important win for Valencia. And Athletic - Sevilla. Game almost without dangerous moments, 2 goals cancelled by VAR and very stupid foul on 90th minute. Result of it - penalty, Ocampos goal and not very deserved Sevilla win.
