Real Madrid may be winning by two goals but I actually hate when a big team will start to play like a small team, honestly Jose Mourinho is bringing back the style of football that made many people consider him boring and packing the bus.

Honestly the half belongs to inter Milan interms of football play but Real Madrid has had two shots at goal and have scored two goals but Inter has had more than 9 and hasn't so in as much as I believe real Madrid should be playing better football it is actually working for them but as a neutral I want to see Vini Jr more up front and not a full back.

The most competitive tournament is just kicked off today and it's a good thing to witness it once again, Aston Villa won Club Brugge with three (3) goals to two (2) of which I didn't really expect it to go that way, but I count it all joy, while AEK Athens won Lask one(1) goal to nothing, and right now there are lots of games going on, and the results are going just as expected except for FC Porto and Manchester City, which are playing draw, Real Madrid is winning Inter Milan by tow (2) goals to nothing, which was expected to happen so, now let's wait and watch till the end see how it goes.

Is it possible to see which matches earned us points?
We could see that last season, but it seems there’s been an update or perhaps it’s because I’m checking via mobile, so the website behaves differently than it does on a PC or laptop.

This has been the way they operate since last season and this season for me I expected more from them but it doesn't seem like the Madrid that would humiliate smaller teams and win by a higher margin, now the only have to manage with 2nil after misplacing more than 5 good chances, just like we saw against Real Betis, it was so painful to watch. Playing at home or away doesn't show anything special from Madrid. Sometimes I feel Inter too have same problem as Madrid, matches like this I don't think Inter should be holding back starting from the first half, they are familiar with how Madrid play and approaching the game in an aggressive manner should have made Madrid to reduce whichever pressure they came with but it seems like the first half Inter Milan was waiting to absorb the pressure then use it against Madrid in the second half, I honestly like an attacking team that doesn't hold back till full time.

Pack the bus, whole I actually forgot this was a character of Jose Mourinho until I saw this post. I think Mourinho uses different strategies depending on the team he is up against because this wasn’t the style of play against Real Betis and after getting a somewhat early brace they did that but good thing it didn't backfire because this might be a wrong decision in some and a good one in another maybe like tonight.

Seems like apart from Aston Villa, who were not a clear favorite, everybody else got the win as expected and those who went for those scores were very well rewarded.

Real barely beating Inter though, who were like children, the score should be far bigger.

I saw the odd of 1.57 of Real Madrid yet since I fancy Inter I entered 0-3 as a result which clearly was not the case. Well I am happy I believe to have hit a correct score in Borussia vs Villareal game as the game ended 3-2 and usually when a German team is playing there will be goals. Overall a good start to the season but it is way to early in the league phase, let's hope today we have some better games to watch.

I wasn't at all convinced about Real Madrid winning, just before the match I placed a bet on Real Madrid winning.
I didn't have a great win considering the odds and how much I placed, but in the end I took home the victory.
As for the match it wasn't a bad one, it was difficult to predict, with Real Madrid currently in the settling-in phase, Inter still to be defined, on paper Real Madrid is superior in terms of the squad of players and power at play, Inter I haven't seen any exceptional plays yet, perhaps the most entertaining match and where he seemed to have taken the right direction is the one against Napoli (of all the last matches he has played).
I'm happy for Real Madrid, maybe it lights up the Champions League.

Honestly, Inter looked better in gameplay but made some cardinal errors that must not be made when you play against Real. Like, what was on the GK's mind when he tried to trick Valverde? Such a stupid, stupid goal. Real was, for me, not better, but definitely luckier in the match against Inter.

I don't think its nice blaming Mourinho's tactical approach at real madrid for now, him taking over the team just last season will need to do much job as to enable the team adapt to his tactical playing pattern which I know will soon come to manifestation, remember the real madrid of this season is different from that of last season.
Yes the team did not show some level of consistency in dominance and possession in that game against Milan but that victory alone is enough reason to appreciate Mourinho's effort in transforming the team to greatness.

We all should have known Mourinho even before now, his playing pattern and targets towards every encounter. Mourinho is a kind of coach that looks forward to victory over every other thing and is what he has been working towards to achieve at the team for now.

This evening there are many opportunities to also place a multiple.
The matches I will observe most carefully only the one against Napoli-Arsenal odds: 1 = 5.75 X = 3.80 2 = 1.62
Sporting Lisbon - Galatasaray another difficult match to predict but the odds are tempting and almost risky with Galatasaray winning.
I don't even want to consider the PSG match, it has a negligible share and it's not even worth playing, same thing for the Barcelona match, rather the Liverpool - Atletico Madrid match (if I can I would like to follow it) playing an Atletico victory.
These are the days I enjoy, lots of betting opportunities and fun watching the games, the only bad thing you can't watch them all at once.

The Galatasaray for me is the golden opportunity today as they have place an odd of well over 4 to them and comparing players by each one the Galatasaray is more expensive as a team which I would translate as more qualitative yet the bookies seems to think otherwise. I lost everything in Lille vs Betis game yesterday as in betting I had an X draw otherwise I would put all I have in Galatasaray draw no bet option in tonight games of the Champions League.

Guys, I'm only one who have problems to check leaderboard? When I enter website, it looks empty like on this screenshot.

While when I enter from phone, I see leaderboard, but I can't scroll sideways to see my picks and for what exactly I got points.
First day was great for me, 2nd place after it. But from what I remember, most of my stakes were on Tuesday's games, so, I'm not going to get many points from today and Thursday.

[leea-1334]

The script is configured to work based on UTC time, hence the one-hour difference. Despite the games taking place based on the country's summer time.

But it is already appearing.

I guess this answer why it has always been 1 hour after the first game start. I've always wonder about this

Ah,,, okay I think I get it (we do not switch time but because Europe makes it,,, we also have to make mental changes). But what I was asking, is it difficult to change the script so that the leaderboard shows when deadline passes?

We always have to wait 1 hour after deadline to see the leaderboard,,, not that it is a problem, since I am rarely checking at that time!

It appears correctly for me, at least, it is the same as it looked last season You are in 2nd place btw

~ rather the Liverpool - Atletico Madrid match (if I can I would like to follow it) playing an Atletico victory.

Atletico are a murky team, they don't try to play well all the time. If I’m not mistaken, last season they lost 0–4 to Arsenal in the group stage but then looked solid against them in the knockout rounds. It was the same against Barcelona: they played like shit in La Liga but knocked Barcelona out of the Cup and the Champions League.
Yes, it’s nice to see such a variety of games to watch, and actually, it’s not a bad thing that you can’t watch them all at once - if the outcome of one game is already decided, you can simply switch to another.

This only happens until the end of October, when winter time comes into force in Europe.

I can try to see if I can adjust this somehow.
But, in fact, I think it is not something very serious.

Cleaning cache didn't helped, private mode too. Probably it's something with my browser that I use. Im on Firefox, but now tried to visit using Opera and everything works fine.
Now I see that I got most of my points from score predictions, not from bets.

LTU_btc and Strongkored, I tried looking at it on mobile and laptop and it works as before. Strange that it's happening now when we haven't actually changed any of that part of the site, right joker_josue?

@buwaytress - sorry but I kinda forgot, where are we with penalties now? What was the final call?

It is now 2.5% (half of least season), you incompetent buffoon.

Are there spreadsheet or other way to confirm I submitted correctly?

If you re-enter your PIN on the user area (the main submission link in OP) you can see your submissions and change/edit them at any time until deadline.

The issue was resolved simply by rotating my mobile device to landscape mode, the MD tab (now MD1) appeared, and I just had to click it to find the information I was looking for.

After a few matches, the results I achieved weren't too bad, though still didn't meet my expectations.

I didn't have a bad day yesterday, the only bet I lost was the one I placed in the Atletico Madrid victory:D .
I already knew it's a highly unpredictable team, as you just described there are matches that play very well against teams that are decidedly more prepared and there are matches that lose or draw against teams of equal caliber.
Liverpool, no offense, I don't consider them superior to Atlético in terms of preparation, but the numbers speak for themselves, they won the match.
They were pretty much all nice games to watch, nothing exceptional, I expected more spectacle, overall it was a busy day for the Champions League.
