You know you are not winning when you walk up with this uniform (paired with white socks and white shorts). Shocked

It would have made more sense if Halloween was around the corner, perhaps.


I had pretty decent week (and the trick this time again, was no analysis, just blinded/gutsy predictions), I don't feel terrible about losing points from AC Milan btw as no one from the pool guessed they would, but I was hurt by Juventus loss (probably not as much as them dashing title chase hopes), I really would have loved to get a point from that prediction.

Mo Sala just keeps pulling clear at the top of the leaderboards.

I'm following AC Milan since the early 90s, and this is without a doubt the worst-looking shirt we've ever had. I won't mind if the Federcalcio deducts a point or two for "having the audacity to wear this thing" in such an important match. I swear we should get relegated to Serie C if ever go again with these. Christ!

A point is better than none, i will take the draw!  Grin

Seems like AC Milan its destroying some bets right now.

If Milan finally draw and Inter wins the game what they have to play..... can be a 3 way party to the end of the season.

And in the bottom of the league we have 4 teams playing for relegation, maybe more but i think between the current 4 in the bottom only.

Those free bets come mighty handy when the balance dries up and wallet is out of hand. Funny how couple of clubhouse rewards mean very little to me until that moment when they become of utmost importance Smiley

It was quite though weekend to end in the green. Fortunately for me my biggest bet was on tennis and that went as planned. All my football tickets went miserably.

Add me to the BTTS crying party. I was so certain Juve-Inter would get down and dirty, and then they went and joined the 1-nil Italian nostalgia team heh.


That was my final bet and last hope on Sportsbet until next week. Only bet alive now settles end of season. I've not had a zero balance there for a while but it's been weeks of terribly betting (I think even months) this season, in general. Normally I always end up a week with still something but it's a message for me to just chill.

But lost multi on BTTS on many Serie A games, quite a strange week I have to say, I was sure at least Valencia game should see goals as well as Inter-Juve, but many clean sheets.

yeah, it was a strange night
where goals were expected, we did not see it, Barca, Valencia, but Granada and Rayo made a show, with four goals

regarding Inter and Juventus, I expected home win, Juve was in a winning strike, but somehow was't surprised with result, it is usually that way in Calcio for me

And of course Juve lost tonight. I blame myself for this result. I said multiple times that I will never again place ML bet on Serie A but I could not resist 1x Juve tonight. I was absolutely sure they are not loosing this one and of course it ended up as the only game I missed on 6x multi.

Too make things worse they were much better team in parts of the match I watched.

I cannot blame you, and the game reports somehow say that Inter was lucky to get all 3 points, this is the luck of football which I know so well repeatedly from my own team.

Hope at least you got the insurance back. Me I went only with a small bet on Spurs which I won (BTTS and Spurs win) 3.15x

^Yeah, watching here. Politano just stole in from a freekick to take it 0-2.

EPL feed shitty and got a nice English feed for the match but man, Atalanta-Napoli was a treat to watch from the kickoff. The football wasn't so beautiful, Atalanta finishing is so puzzling but I kind of enjoy games played at frantic pace and of course, when the players have some sort of skill. First 15 minutes was a blast, barely 15 seconds possession before changing hands, Mertens smash and grab on a counter, kinda a shitty penalty as he definitely knew what he was doing but at least you get that VAR consistency (see England, it's not THAT hard to do). Looked like keeper almost got a hand to the pen but it was cleanly hit, would have gone in anyway am sure.

But man, show me one international game in the past 2 weeks that had THIS intensity... well okay, I exaggerate but whatever Wink

Atalanta is already behind at home against Napoli, while we are only just fifteen minutes away. I think an afternoon with a lot of goals in this match, normally in Atalanta games there are a lot of goals. It is important for Napoli to win this match in order to close the gap with Ac Milan. AC Milan have an easier opponent today, but Napoli can only keep up the pressure.

Anyway, happy with my exact score, and Torino seems comfortable enough, didn't do too well betting today, betbuilders and accas missing by a hair, but Serie A didn't really turn out badly (enter my jinx before final game is over, of course).

And it looks like much of the same today, favorites going to take all the points,,, now Napoli get the lead from a cool penalty after it looked like Atalanta was going to beat them down. Great saves, one counter, and Juan Musso got fooled to bring down Dries Mertens.

BTTS has to happen in this game if Atalanta keep playing like this! Anyone watching here? This is probably the only game I can watch even my own Spurs game is too late for me to watch unless I do not sleep tonight. Early shift tomorrow  Sad

^ Couldn't agree more -- you just have these players, sometimes not even obvious on the pitch but powerful in the locker room. It actually even hurts to have too many of them, which to me explains the issues at PSG and United, and perhaps that was what Chiellini was hinting at when Ronaldo was at Juventus.

I definitely take more risks with freebets too, not sure why (my mind whispers back: "because they're free, duh").

I am going for Inter win, Juventus have the best form as already mentioned but they were so lucky with draws and slim wins,,, and yes that is their old style but I have a feeling Italy bad luck will also fall hard on Juventus, especially Chiellini,,, for some reason I always feel his mood determines the team mood.

Thanks Trofo again for the freebet challenge, I used up my luck already with last one getting 6/6 and lost the freebet  Grin
Those experienced players in locker room have big influence on whole team. It just means so much if you have player like that yelling on you while playing. Helps a lot with positioning.

Don't know why but I also always loose my free bets. Probably because they are free and I get greedy.

A draw between Juve and Inter would be ideal for me and my team, get that 8-9 point separation at the top. However, Inter has a terrible record in Turin, their last away win dates back to 2012, Javier Zanetti was still playing.....yup, a long time ago.


I would go with Juventus to win, but with an international break, you never know
but, it is an important match for Juve to stay in-line for a title race, and I think that they are going to win, Inter lousy score in Turin is just adding to this

but, my picks usually go down in Calcio, so it will probably go other way

I want nothing more than for Atalanta to win this weekend, but i have my doubts. They've been extremely inconsistent, especially at home...only four wins on the season, just as many as Spezia has at home, crazy, i know. But i do agree with you, i expect goals, the last three matches have produced 5+ goals on average, i might smack the shit out of BTTS...which surprisingly has moved in the opposite direction from 1.60 to 1.70. Speaking about Napoli, it looks like they will not face significant penalties for violating ASL protocols by allowing players in quarantine to play against Juventus:

In light of the most well-known precedent recorded so far in Serie A, or the so-called Lazio-tamponi case, the club should currently only risk a fine. For having sent positive players on the field and on the bench, the Biancoceleste company did not in fact have any penalty points (the Prosecutor itself had not asked for them in the first instance), the president Lotito - at the end of a long path of sports justice - has had two months of referral, while the two doctors five (but here there is still a counter-appeal to the Sports Guarantee Board at the Coni).

Btw, stadiums in Serie A should be back at full capacity starting this weekend!

International break is finally over and we have some nice games in Seria A this week. My interest will be mainly on Atalanta - Napoli and Juve - Inter. It was a though choice but I chose Juve for free bet challenge since those are "bigger teams" at least historically. Should be a lot of goals and my bets will go to my favorite both to score market.

Make your picks in the pool and go take a shot at free bet challenge.

No, no, no that is way to nice. You were looking for a phrase like "May the luckiest bastard win" or something similar. That one is actually my favorite and i always use it in situations like this. Of course I mean "bastard" in best possible meaning of the word Smiley

Screw international break, this will be boring 10 days. Hope to prove me wrong but I seriously doubt it.

Same,,, I was just thinking teams either hate or love the break. If you have negative momentum like Torino and Empoli (I hate Torino keep losing my bets why I bet on them) then you hope the break gives you reset. If you have good momentum though you lose it from the break. No team in Italy now has "good momentum" though the longest win streak now is,,, Juventus at 4 Wink

And Hahaha okay noted,,, ok we have a phrase I sometimes hear being used and I sort of say a similar version but it can translate something like 'go shitheads and be the shittiest you can be' but that is in the best possible non-meaning of the word also.

So in that spirit, be shitty everyone!

Most retired footballers are still in the industry grabbing opportunities that are related to their profession and that I think will benefit the organization as well as the retired players. It's better to grab opportunities that are closer to their passion except for investing because they could still excel in the field despite their age.

Not really sure what on earth are you talking about but I always feel that some retired footballers should not waste time being pundits or experts if they actually did not learn anything much,,, I have respect for all athletes but just because you used to play football does not make you a great manager or commentator Wink

I use jinx protection special card  Cool Cool Still plenty of games to be caught up, but I won't make it easy for you guys.

Sometimes there are some competitions I always wonder if I am the jinx for others,,, like Poker if I did a wrong choice it affects the guy next to me. Thankfully,,, results in pool are all about individual so you can take full responsibility for success and failure.
