and Inter started with a smash, Genoa is not opponent that could challenge what they can offer, but 4:0 is good sign for the season, and Dzeko seemed as really good addition to the team

other match in Verona seemed as a draw, but Sassuolo will obviously had another good season, they were my "boogie" team last season, and will be this season as well, I simply do not believe in them

If you guys could be so kind to share a strategy, BTTS I will accept for now but is it possible to work for 3rd season in a row? I have chiefly my bets on English and UCL but might try out Italian bets now I know there are so many experts here  Grin

Betting strategy I mean not prediction, since we all want to keep our secrets  Shocked
I have no problem sharing my predictions, and I believe there will be others as well. It is not like it is fixed game, it is simply our analyses of the clubs. Some will be winning predictions, some will fail badly but we should share as much as possible. It will not have big influence on our pool for sure. If I give picks for 2 games per week there is still 8 games staying "secret".

14 of us in the pool so far, respectable number for good season.

I didn't really do terribly last season, only missed out from the prizes by a whisker.

Hoody sure does have his Serie A game up to the sky, and anyone from the pool would need just more thank luck to compete over 38 weeks. However, it's game on, huh!  Huh

Hey guys don't forget Serie A starts in 2 days. If you are in the pool go make your picks, if you aren't go join while you can. Whole season of fun for just 1 mBTC Smiley Some interesting games on Matchday 1:
Torino - Atalanta, should be hell of a match, gonna watch this one
Roma - Fiorentina, hopefully Mou will not make Roma park the bus, they don't know how to do it
Sampdoria - AC Milan, interested to see how Milan will look this season


New challenge is up by the way:

or someone like Thiago Motta (one win in nine matches as Genoa manager) can get a job in Serie A again.
I remember Motta and his "revolutionary" tactics with 3 defenders and seven midfielders, no attackers Smiley He is just asking for jokes on his account after bad results.

I give him less than 20% chance of not getting sacked before the end of the season, the only thing working in his favor is that teams coming from Serie B aren't that good (except for Empoli, maybe). I had a somewhat good look at them over the weekend in the 1/32 finals of Coppa Italia, was not really impressed.

Just kidding of course, but since you will mop the floor with us casuals you could at least post some nice tips for us to make the money back from bookies. My go to market has been both to score in Serie A last two seasons and it served me very well. Especially with teams like Juve who had granite defense in the past and odds were still 1.8 even though they conceded almost every game.

You already know what to do!  Grin

Speaking of Mourinho, 12 teams will begin the season with new head coaches, not sure if that's a record, significant number nonetheless.

I don't understand how a mediocre coach like D'Aversa (relegated with Parma last season) or someone like Thiago Motta (one win in nine matches as Genoa manager) can get a job in Serie A again. But teams passing, or in Davide Nicola's case, Torino not renewing his contract. He pulled a miracle last year and saved their asses, and now he doesn't get a chance to establish himself as a coach, sorry but that's just dumb.

I'm particularly interested in what happens with Alessio Dionisi, the new Sassuolo coach, who had a fantastic season with Empoli in Serie B last year.  Sarri is another name i'm looking forward to, he won a title with Juventus two years ago but things didn't go well there. Nobody can question what he did with Napoli while he was their coach though, they had almost guaranteed finish in the top three every year and were on the verge of winning the title in his final season. I'm not saying Lazio has the right personnel that fits his style of coaching but if they get to a good start, Biancocelesti fans can hope for a good year and possibly top4. We will see...

you did not mentioned match between Cagliari and Spezia, should be boring as hell Smiley

regarding Roma, will be interesting to see how they will be play this season, I do expect from them to try to be into top4, and to let Conference League for reserves (although they have chances to win that competition, bearing who is playing in mind)

Inter is opening the season with Genoa, will be interesting to see Dzeko playing there

Today I made my payments for both pools (here and la liga together),,, I know Trofo has a record but I just wanted to say also since I registered late and for my tracking:)

Has anybody changed their picks after the latest games and transfers? I did not even realize until the weekend that Lukaku was with Chelsea:P
You are in, don't worry Smiley

Changed my picks? Did not even made them yet. Waiting for a couple more days before taking a crack at guessing Serie A scores. Could be a couple more big transfers like Vlahovic to Spurs.

I always put picks in and then change it when it is close to the game time. This way in case I cannot get online then I have a pick saved. Last season in EPL pool I had a lot of issues with Superbru loading during game days and you could not enter picks for upcoming matches.

By the way,,, I am last in La Liga pool. I hope I do better in this one. This is why I should not play leagues I do not know about:)

Sure I am sending you PM with the links in few moments. I will not approve you to Superbru until you pay (you will have that clock by your name). That does not mean anything, it is sort of reminder for me and an easy way to kick somebody out if they don't pay in the end Smiley

I already said that I will accept new people to join until 01.10.2021. You could have just entered league predictor on Superbru and entered your predictions (you would have all eraned points after joining) and then contact me after you pay but this way actually you are on the list from the beginning and we know to count on you so maybe it is even better.

Thank you very much Trofo I well received this both and already signed up. I am just waiting for payments as I mentioned but I should be getting them very very soon.

I will make sure to PM when confirmed. Thanks everybody again and good luck!

Hello Trofo and guys. I normally only play 1 league a season and it is the only league I know about since I support Spurs but since I cannot do well there maybe my luck is better here:)

Only 1 question for both the Italian and Spanish pools,,, can I join now and pay within a week (next Friday)? I actually am waiting for a signature campaign payment which I think comes in next week so I will deposit that to Sportsbet and make 2 payments. But can I join Superbru already? Sorry it is like this but sort of a rush:)

2. Lack of familiarity with the league and being cannon fodder

this was a factor for me in Serie A, but decided to join in the end because it is mostly last-year community here
it is also four pools during season, with PL fantasy and Sorare teams (due to market prices, my players are mostly from Jupiler and MLS leagues) being made on Monday and Thursday, it is a bit of work every week

nevertheless, it is not something that I will not follow at all, if not playing pools, it is just some extra fun when watching matches

I believe it's simply a lack of interest in a season-long competition. I'd love to see ex-participants speak up about the fee being higher though if that's really the case.
I spoke with most if not all of the previous participants, the reasons for skipping this season are as follows:
1. Lack of time, work is crazy
2. Lack of familiarity with the league and being cannon fodder

Not one of them mentioned anything about the fees but they are much more of a factor for PL.

@morvillz7z Too bad about -CryptoViking- I actually do recall him now you mention it.

Anyway, I don't really agree about pricing out, since most of the participants are on signature campaigns but it is one consideration so fair point, and I know I had to convince a couple of guys here as they actually would BUY btc or wait for campaign payments to come in to pay the fee (hence the grace period).

Perhaps we should consider capping the fee in fiat at some point, or find a way people could participate on a lower tier fee, perhaps in return for a "stake". It does complicate things though and I haven't actually seen someone comment saying they would participate if the fee were lower. On the other hand, in the EPL thread, many more people have expressed they're fine with the fee, and some have actually asked for higher, or double and triple fees haha.

I believe it's simply a lack of interest in a season-long competition. I'd love to see ex-participants speak up about the fee being higher though if that's really the case.

Also, you get a freebet HALF the entry fee on Serie A and La Liga, so we've actually cheapened the fee to less than £20 on these 2 pools =)

This is going to be hectic being in all three pools but quite exciting at the same time.
You are forgetting Champions League which will start in about month. Then we will be back to 4 pools at the same time, just like last year and how I like it Smiley
Then I am also playing PL Fantasy with some local guys so season beginnings come very expensive for me.


Don't forget to send me tx id after you guys pay up. Otherwise I have no idea who paid and I have to send you pool invitation.

Took care to pretty up participants table in the OP, feel free to share your favorite clubs in next posts you make Smiley
Well for me it would be an unlikely one since they are near the bottom of the table.
Unione Sportiva Sassuolo Calcio or better known as just Sassuolo - the green and black.

Season doesn't begin til August 21st for this league while the spaniards begin tomorrow then english prem the next day to kick it all off.
The price isn't bad at all since the prizes pretty much pays for fee if you get the yellow cap atleast once.
This is going to be hectic being in all three pools but quite exciting at the same time.

Good luck to all who joined in atleast one of them.
