Lol wooden spoon this week for me (though was technically joint with trofo). Bit weird how those that don't make any picks and get zero don't get it.

How the hell did Man United get a penalty given even after a VAR check in the game on Tuesday? At first it did actually look like a penalty and a correct decision by the ref but with the VAR replays it was quite clear that the United player knocked them both down with a shoulder barge. Some shenanigans seemed to be going on there to try give Man United a lifeline: https://youtu.be/VqbNzV8OVPA?t=299

WTF happens on PSG vs. Istanbul Basaksehir, it's interrupted. Both teams left the field because of racism by the referee. I can not believe that this is happening on such a high level.

From what I saw from the footage the player was complaining that the fourth official referred to him (or someone else) as "the black player", which if that was it then it's obviously silly, unless he takes issue with the Black in Black Lives Matter too:

I saw some people mention that they're might have been some confusion over whether the assistant might have said 'negru' which is apparently 'black' in Romanian which he might have misunderstood and taken offense to.

yeah, and how will PSG be counted in our pool, I have actually predicted 5:1, and seems that they are calling the game cancelled, it is not going to help me to leave the bottom, but would be nice to have this exact score counted

It will be counted as 5:1 for sure. Maybe they just need a bit of time to change that result manually or something like that.

Inter & United are out of CL. Did not expect it, especially from Inter to finish last in a group with Shakhtar & G'ladbach. United had a tough group and they shot themselves when they lost the points against only week club in the group.

actually, I had some money on Brugge and Shakhtar to pass-through, similar stories, they both needed a win in Italy, and I expected one to pass through, more on Shakhtar than Brugge, but anyway

just look at Shakhtar, they have two wins over Real, two draws with Inter, and two loses from M'Gladbach, with ten goals conceived from M'Gladbach in two matches, isn't that strange or what? and for me, Shakhtar is better than Inter and M'Gladbach, Real is just did not get into right shape at the moment

edit: yeah, PSG score was counted as it is

Anyway, RIP United to Europa. They needed PSG to lose but they've just gone on a rampage now. Liverpool odds weren't so nice for me to go in on them, and they're now 1-1 from that Salah goal and conceding a penalty, seems like we concede penalties all the time now without actually getting booked.

It is still not perfectly settled even with booking points. There are sites out there that count red as 25 points and some that count as 20. Do you know how Sportsbet counts them? At least yellow is worth 10 points in all bookies I know

Yeah, 10 from yellow and 20 from reds (straight, not after 2nd yellow). So their lines are always from 9.5 in increments of 10, at least from Betbuilder.

Plus one goal is revoked due to offside. Fu***n Manchester United.

expected this from Manchester, it was clear when they lost in Istanbul that they would not qualify for the next round, it is just not enough to have a good match in group phase, you have to have at least a few, to pass into next round

Barca proved that they are really bad this season, but I am really sorry for Brugge, did not expected this match from them, but had 1:2 in the pool, they were good last night, but could not capitalize on that, nevertheless, de Ketelaere is getting better and better with each match

Chelsea played for bookmakers

@Trofo: yeah nowadays I see the card rule changed out in favour of "booking points" due to the inconsistency with card counts (red counts as two). Yellow 10 and Red 20 points.

It is still not perfectly settled even with booking points. There are sites out there that count red as 25 points and some that count as 20. Do you know how Sportsbet counts them? At least yellow is worth 10 points in all bookies I know

Lazio was really bad towards the end of the game and they are lucky they managed to get point and qualify. United started bad as well but still a lot of time for them to turn it around. While I was writing this they almost conceded another one. This could end really bad for them, if it does I can't wait for English press. They just love when one of their greats slumbers.

Don't forget tonight's games. Two have already kicked off and looks like two players missed them. Was gonna watch the Barca/Juve games but annoyingly it's not on the German Dazn as apparently the German Amazon have first pick of one Champion's League game per round and of course they chose that one (why wouldn't they?). Gone for a draw on that game as it's hard to split. Will probably watch the Real/Borussia game tomorrow as Real are fighting to go through after fucking up against Shakhtar. Probably go for a draw on that one too but maybe Real should win it.

I'm tuned into RB Leipzig vs Man Utd as well and I'd have preferred Juventus vs Barcelona, but I'm still trying get a streamlink... Leipzig game has kicked off beautifully too with Man Utd trailing by a goal.

EDIT: It's 2 goals against Man Utd in just 13 minutes

Lucky us for those two missed ones.

Draw's actually the best value for that game but I've gone and put Barca in a couple of parlays. Juve the slight underdog when I made my punts but I wonder if the bookies are underestimating how good their front two can be.

Zenit's leading... BVB are horrendous, I got a nice pick against them last week but I wasn't expecting them to lose AGAIN... I mean they'll probably be safe as I don't see Brugge scoring two the way they're playing (a rather dull affair playing out now).

Glad I stuck to my guns on the away PSG win but it was risky. Shame I missed out on the correct score by one goal though. Not sure how Fred got away with just a yellow card for that pussy 'headbutt' players seem to like doing. Normally that's a straight sending off. I didn't watch the game but apparently VAR got involved and changed the card but didn't show that in the highlights so not sure if he initially gave the red or didn't give anything as it looks like he didn't see it. If he viewed it on the VAR monitor though I'm not sure how it wasn't a sending off. He got sent off in the second half for a second yellow but looked like he might have got the ball to me.

Kinda given up on second guessing VAR now. I thought it was all about consistency now but there you go with the headbutt. Red card in some games, and not in this. Everyone including Ole said Fred was lucky.

Was really shitty to miss the over 2.5 goals in all late games yesterday. I actually bet on Lazio to win, so when Immobile put in that penalty I thought I was back in business. Then both teams proceeded to not really want to win the game haha.

Shame about not betting on PSG. I know they had Neymar and Mbappe on the lineup but I thought United were going to smash it. Even an own goal couldn't help them.

I had both to score on United game which passed nice and early. Than I also had over cards, over booking points and red card in the game - wrote about this in "regular" CL thread. This one was a bit tighter fit but in the end Fred made sure I win all my bets on this game.

I am not often betting on cards so I was unsure about my over 4.5 cards bet but both Stake and Sportsbet graded it as won. I am not sure it would happen that way in all bookies. There was 3 yellow cards in the game, and then that second yellow/red card for Fred. I expected this counts as one card but in the end it counted as 2.

Good luck with your bet, I don't want to be pessimistic about your picks...

I had to switch PSG to win after seeing both Mbappe and Neymar in the starting line up.

and it was worth it, since PSG won the match, which was expected, by the way, Manchester missed their chance in Istanbul, and will probably play Europa league from NY, that is their limit, obviously
Brugge won over Zenit, another one for them, after win in Russia, did not expect that, but de Ketelaere scored, which is good for my Sorare team, expect so much from him in this decade

Yes, it paid off in the end. I saw won the yellow cap again for this round, that makes it twice in a row and I'm currently at the top of the leaderboard Cool

I'm not going for any draw in tonight's games... Even though I'm anticipating a few draws from these fixtures, it is always easier for me to go with the slight favorite Cheesy

I've got Man Utd to win over PSG, but I might likely change my mind once the line up is available

Put a bet on all 9pm games to score over 2.5 games so I was actually hoping the early kickoffs were dull so karma doesn't bite back. 6 games and 18 goals between them evenly does seem a bit much, but I felt a bit lazy with my picks today plus... analysis did not help me in the earlier MD5 games.

Quote from: hilariousetc on December 02, 2020, 07:58:22 AM

Well you certainly called that one. It was the highest scoring game of the night at 2-3. Didn't expect Inter to win though. Surprised Shaktar beat Real as well. Only got a mere three points for the exact Liverpool/Ajax score.

I go with the flow, and results don't back me up. I did get 4 points last night though small yay.

Don't forget tonight's games. A few decent match-ups tonight, but don't know whether to watch the Liverpool/Ajax game or ATL Madrid/Bayern one. I was gonna back Liverpool to win at home as they won 1-0 on the reverse fixture away but but they've been a bit shaky recently so not sure now. I think it will be narrow either way. Could be goals in the Bayern match. I'm looking forward to the Man U / PSG game tomorrow the most though. Man United surprised me with the 2-1 away win but not sure they'll do it again even at home but they're so wildly inconsistent it's hard to predict what team will turn up.

Best game for me tonight is G'ladbach - Inter, that one is important to both clubs and I expect a lot of goals in it.

Glad to see those 3 important points for Inter
It was a really intense match, at the end, won by Inter

Awful prediction so far for the first part of the 5th round, but compared to others, I am good Cheesy

Tomorrow we could see some draws as well, today I was not focused at all on potential draws...

I've got three draws for the games tonight. Not sure what to go for the Man U game though. Had a PSG win away win but might change that to a draw. United will probably fall apart at some point like they usually do.
