Only 1 guy picked Arsenal damn, and don't forget one of it was an own goal so it was a nice gift. I highly doubt you can see them score 3+ goals in next match again however.

In the meantime I'll do my best not to let other mafia overtake me!!

No, no, don't worry, I don't have my eyes set on this one. Cryptofrka and me were sitting, sipping the beers and decided who takes which pools before season started, this one is his, I am just here for the ride. I am taking Fantasy and BSFL, he will also take Champions League and we will leave the rest (small ones) to the peasants. Don't want it to be too obvious. We decided to take this one just because it is new so we have to put up some standards.

Only PL pool is giving us problems, reward is good but we still haven't managed to scare away enough people there, ah well, we will order some more horse heads from ebay for next season and see where it gets us 

OK when you guys are in the next beer sipping phase please let me buy the first 2 beers and let me win small prizes in all of them ok.

PL pool rewards are not for me either so can you tell me how to bribe them?

It's a shame it didn't bring me any profit at all. I'm playing against Bayern and Barcelona again, and they scored five goals combined. Atlético (which I also picked as a potential surprise) played to a goalless draw (I wonder when Simeone will be sacked). Leipzig only scored one goal. I'm left with Real and Inter, but many people chose them, so I'm unlikely to overtake anyone. Unfortunately, variability is not encouraged at all, you have to make standard picks, but I'm tired of losing in tiebreaks.

Bayern seem like they're getting really shaky but the problem is they will almost guaranteedly score. 2 goals even in a draw is still better than risking most other teams who can only give 2 on a great day.

Atletico also seem to be running out of steam but to question Simeone is to question god

Variability is the key indeed in all these competitions but maybe we find a better way to score this competition next season. I like what is being done in CL pool as we all got tired of Superbru Maybe something similar??

It's paradoxical, but having a super dominant season, Bayern are only 6 points ahead Dortmund, which are having a typically dull season. It would seem like the perfect time to check the odds for Bayern to lose the race and place a 50x bet, but the bookmakers are dishonest:

Bayern - 1.01

Dortmund - 21.00

1.01 vs. 21? What kind of crap is that? Why not 1.01 vs. 5 or 2? If you're going to be greedy, go all out!
Such odds encourage bettors to turn to platforms like PolyMarket when betting on extreme events.

We can celebrate the winner of this round, and the winners are..... two, famososMuertos and Buwaytress , congratulation to both of you.



I know Rome and Milan still has to play but since nobody pick them we can already announce the winners of the round without so much problem. What it feels guys? Is unussual for you to be there at high floors right?

I talked about this with buwaytress (and a few users more) a long time ago, it was like a two years ago when bookies cut all the tail on odds, i remember how you can find odds at 100+ or even at 1500 in some crazy shot, today is impossible they cut it super hard, and is impossible to us to get real shots, who is gonna risk some money in dortmund at 21? impossible.

Yee and the tails are cut on both sides. Imagine placing a bet with odds of 1.01! I won’t do this even if the result is already announced (i.e. the probability of the event = 100%), but there will still be 3 to 4 months left before the payment (depending on when Bayern officially becomes champion). These odds are probably just there to scare people away from this market. Technically, the odds exist, but no sane bettor would place a bet. Unfortunately, I see the same thing in live betting: almost impossible events are rated at 20-40, although I wouldn’t bet even on 100.

Told ya Liverpool was going to rock! Too bad Arsenal got gifted a couple of goals too or Liverpool would have rules the week. FM, we are the best! Take that, all of you!

Remember just a decade ago you could get 5000/1 on Leicester? Today, you get max 300/1 on the shittiest team to win Prem League.

I'm to a certain extent disillusioned, and that helps explain why I've stopped betting as frequently or stopped chasing the long odds too as even 10/1 is next-to-impossible to find now when you clearly have an underdog who deserves 20/1.

Just two or three years ago, for example I used to see Yes/No both podium finishes at 1.1+ for No for middling teams and that seemed fair given there were podium finishes for such teams once or twice every season (of roughly 25 races). Last season, you would get 1.01... so you get 1% back on an event that has a roughly 10% probability. Nonsense.

Yesterday, Djokovic. Down 2-1 and trailing 5-4 on the 4th set. This is an old guy playing 3 hours, after surviving 4 hours 2 days ago. You know what the best odds was? 6/1. Bookies are telling us, once in 6 such situations Djoker would overturn a 14-year-younger Alcaraz with tiebreak and then win the final set? Please. Idiot that I was, I still took it.

P.S. Completely off-topic but KTChampions is the Lord of all the pools. I knew he topped a couple but I looked and he's #1 in:

• Europa League
• Serie A
• La Liga
• Ligue1

He's not in Championship, and isn't placed in Prem League but what on earth is going on KTC? Have you been replaced by a superbeing? And I hope you've been betting on your picks because this is unprecedented..!
