📯2026/27 Champions League Pool | ⚽️ Discussion

[buwaytress]

Glad your issues are solved BABY, I'm waiting a little before sending in my genius picks. Still can't stand how KT managed to pick the best BTTS win last round.

I saw a lot of over 3.5 goals options this time which is different from the over 2.5 goals I have seen before. Nevertheless I continued with my choice of dividing the 6 stakes 1 each for favorite choices of over 2.5 and over 3.5 goals which I hope to avoid the next available penalty also for this match day 4 which can help a bit. The games looks like they will produce goals but surprise results happen usually in such cases.

Yeah, and even in the cases where I put 2.5, the lines were actually closer at 3 (but we don't do pushes in this format so I had to pick one side). It's a trap I tell ya.

I've already placed my picks. Maybe if I have some time tomorrow, I'll study the matches a bit more and perhaps even change some scores. But I'm pretty satisfied with my stake selections this round. Hopefully, all three of them come through.

Hello people, and Slam, come on, man, be patient. I'm not like mafia with octopus hands in the pockets of everyone! Serious jokes aside, these selections are telling me bookies expect the goals to flow, goal lines for majority of the matches are at 3..! Traps coming? You bet...

Send in your picks, tagging all participants.

Now is the time to make risks and attempt attack on the top of leaderboard.
I am located right in the middle of the table now but there is only 31 point difference from the top team.
Important thing for me is to avoid getting penalties and still get maximum possible number of points.
Mia could try to play safer this time and this could be the chance for some of us hunters

Now is a good time for you to do the same thing. Sabah, Slovan and Villa to win+BTTS are over 9x ! Kinda tempting and I might put 1 point on each. THis should be a good time to start pushing for higher points because we probably wouldnt be able to do this anymore after group stage ends

Anyway, I noticed a slight error



I know that supposed to be a draw + BTTS

I understand buwaytress, because I’m haunted by the fact that I only used one stake for that pick, instead of three. Missed opportunities are remembered.
If I recall correctly, this time I went with all the standard picks (2-1, haha), but I did bet on Aston Villa (I hope I’m not misremembering - I’m pretty sure that’s what I wanted to do). And I must point out that the odds don’t reflect the hype surrounding Barcelona - they should be at least 20! At the end of the day, Aston Villa are a random team from the Premier League, not a giant from League 1.

As tempting as maybe do not forget that you get a penalty if you get them all wrong and this cannot do any good to any of us being hit by a penalty. I know the penalty is small compared to how it was the previous season yet if we keep accumulating penalties it can hurt our campaign pretty badly overall for the pool. I personally am experimenting with lowest odds with all stakes divided 1 to each game with the lowest odd in an attempt to avoid penalties during this season.

AEK Athens to beat Real Madrid and BTTS is only 12x? Have bookies lost their minds to super greedy instincts? Real to win is always the outcome, for Athens to score 2 goals minimum is already 12x in itself IMO,,, but to expect Real only to score 1 as for every goal they score AEK must score more this is at least 20x odds

Completely agree with you, upsets are criminally underrated. Moreover, Real’s next La Liga match is against Valencia, so there is no reason to believe they will be conserving their energy. I also don’t like how they’ve slashed the odds for exact scores, I remember a few years ago you could find odds of 300 or even 500+ for a super exotic scoreline, but now something like 5-3 is priced at just 50 - lol, what’s even the point of betting on that?

Thanks! I corrected it earlier, and mafia came a knocking to make sure the mess was cleaned up. Thanks frka!

Rubbish, and we've talked about it at length. Back when I started my odds thread on Bitcoinrush you would easily get 20/1 for normal scorelines below 3:3 and then yes, each specific score beyond that would go on to the hundreds to one. The most you get now? "Any other score" for a measly 50/1.

If you asked AEK to play host to Real 20 times, they would maybe win once at 1-0. And this is a strong, strong squad.

Yep, I liked playing them before. Previously the odds on an upset basically mirrored the favorite, so 1.10 was mirrored by 8.50 or somewhere close and 1.05 was countered by 18. Nowadays 1.03 is countered by 10, which is truly laughable.

I guess the bookies got burned and are pushing users towards the favorites anyway. I think my playstyle of only playing value still has an edge long-term but I haven't tested it recently.
