I've asked Jolly to recruit more football gambling fans to the thread - lol maybe we see some next year but I'm okay with the 3 of us talking to ourselves   better than having spammers on the thread.

Many of them are worried their post will be deleted therefore it will be a wasted effort that will not result in adding to post count or signature campaign quota. I am glad the spammers are away because they are not needed. Having said that, it would be nice to have more members posting here too  

I like the bet on Chelsea vs. Aston Villa. Aston Villa's fairytale has dragged on, just like Chelsea's nightmare. I expect a return to the mean here.

If Chelsea manage a win, it thrusts them back in the title race. If Aston Villa win, it will demonstrate they serious about staying in the top three until the end of the season. I think Emery deserves a lot of credit for taking Aston Villa to a very high level. For example, they paid £8 million to Middlesbrough in January 2024 to buy Rogers, if they were to sell him today they would receive more than £50 million. Emery and the Aston Villa board deserve credit for how they are recruiting and playing in the Premier League.

I also like the multiple bet on Arsenal and City - the overall odds are good, but keep in mind that for me, betting on City, even when I lose, is a joy because City loses points. I'm confident about Arsenal, they've exhausted their point-dropping potential for now.
Still waiting for damn United to come to their senses, but there's no point in talking about cash bets here.

I am confident both Manchester teams will lose their games and Arsenal will manage a draw. As for Chelsea, I have to go for an Aston Villa win.

In summary, Manchester United to lose at home to Newcastle United this evening. In the games tomorrow, Nottingham Forest to beat Manchester City and then Arsenal to draw at home to Brighton. In the late game, Chelsea to lose at home to Aston Villa.

I think the games will have surprises this weekend

What fixtures are you guys looking at betting wise for the coming weekend?  The only match that I kinda have a strong feeling on is Brentford vs Bournemouth.  Just by looking at each of their last 6 games, it feels like it's gonna be an easy win for Brentford.  And at 2.25, I think it's +EV...

What do you guys think?

And hopefully this thread gets more people sharing their leans or their picks.  Most of everybody are posting in the slop filled EPL threads.

To your pick: I'm looking at GG & O2.5 goals in that fixture and also in Ars- BH, Chel- Ast fixtures too. I'm curious why we're having only one game on boxing Day this season.

Not really sure if Bournemouth could score a goal away as they haven't been scoring a lot of goals unless they're at home.  I'm thinking something like a 1 - 0 or 2 - 0 win for Brentford.

As for BTTS and the over 2.5 goals combo, I mostly agree for Chelsea vs Aston Villa.  Not sure if Brighton could score a goal against Arsenal.

I didn't pay much attention to the Premier League table, but now I see that Arsenal is only two points ahead of Manchester City. That seems to be over. Given their current form, there is little chance that they will be able to resist the pressure. Liverpool could not withstand that in some previous seasons, and they had a stronger team and a more consistent form. Simply put, Arsenal are losing this season because of inexperience.

Not gonna happen man, at least for me, just dropped by since you tagged me I am very much against self moderated topics and duplicate topics. This one is unfortunately both. Now the OP will reply with the counter argument that my Premier League topic is full of spam - true by the way, and then I will reply that spammers will always find a place to post and that I don't plan on locking it.... We already went on that merry go around in the past  

The other problem is time, I am mostly doing my posting in paid pools topics since they are 100% free of spam and not self moderated. And due to that I know the whole gang there very well and it feels like hanging with friends.

By the way man, why don't you join some of those pools or BSFL? Same goes for other members here.

Manchester City and Aston Villa have gone a very good run of games and have accumulated a lot of points. Arsenal are no longer clear favourites to win the Premier League.

Here is the Premier League table. It will change later this evening after Manchester United host Newcastle United and when the remaining games take place this:

Not at all, I will not counter anything

^ I can't think of any good reason why Bournemouth will not score against Brentford.

500+ posts deleted - valid point.

They're afraid you'll put noise in their business too - anyway the smaller the better

I'm surprised jolly and tokeweed isn't in any of the prediction paid pools - I remembered marketing it to jolly last season. I guess they don't like the Mafias  

Don't worry I'll represent the gang on this thread - I like to fish on 100% spam free threads and I like self-moderated  threads better too.
