7 out of 9 matches so far ended without a winner  Shocked, glad i was able to scoop 4 draws (2 of those with exact score). Harkorede and tyKiwanuka with 1 point between them (holy shit), got some breathing room at the top. Tongue

I ended the week with 1.5 points and the wooden spoon, and down to fifth position... Nice round, and what a way to pull clear, ahead of the Serie A break, I guess we've got just one more round before then, right ?

Posting this for historical purposes, i'm currently ranked 17th in the global leaderboard  Shocked, i don't think i will ever be top 20 again, so let me enjoy this for a moment. haha

Some interesting matchups on Sunday, Atalanta vs Roma and Lazio vs. Napoli, awfully hard to predict and choose a side imo.

Papu Gomez not in the starting lineup for a second straight game for Atalanta, there's definitely something going on between him and Gasperini, i've read reports he might even end up being traded, and he is/was their captain, crazy! As for the other game, Napoli could steal all three points here, i think they should feel disappointed not taking something from Inter, missed on a few good chances, and actually played pretty well.

Milan will most likely have Ibrahimovic available, i hope it's the "why u not pass every ball to me, cranky Ibrahimovic"  Grin
It's about time they lose, and besides Sassuolo has Caputo back, so vs. Kalulu and co. it should be at least two goals for the home side, 2:1...book it!

^ Yeah, I've actually recently been making more from non-fancied and 2nd league picks (including Serie B) than from the main leagues. Thankfully last night my Liverpool pulled me through on something else because otherwise I'd be in a 3rd straight week of bad bets.

Didn't realise they were this bad in defence right now though, and yeah, Italy is back to drawing a lot and scoring a few;) Not that other leagues are doing much better right now!

^ My turn for Milan to screw me.

Not only you dude, but they burned me too (and probably a lot more people), lost a 3.90 total odds ticket because of Kalulu, some youngster playing at the back, Milan having problems with injured defenders and are forced to have him play, he is pretty trash (or in other words - inexperienced), one of Parma's goals over the weekend was his fault too.

^ My turn for Milan to screw me. Took a live bet at 1-1, parlaying with other live matches in draws (Liverpool and PSG) as the value looked really good. Liverpool actually won it in injury time but bloody Milan let Genoa score again and could only draw. I did avoid livebet on Napoli at the draw though (was 4/1 at half time). Lukaku penalty nicked it.

Tough table at the top now, Juve will feel like shit, but Milan the shittiest for not making the most. Crazy.

Just a reminder guys, we have another set of games starting tomorrow. Don't forget to enter your picks. We are entering the crazy time of the season when some leagues squeeze double programs in the week.

I had Milan on the late ticket but I also had Arsenal and PSG both to score so I got perfect 3/3 fail. Better that way.

Milan was really unlucky last night. There were plenty of opportunities to score goals. At the same time, however, they managed not to let Parma win. I hope it was just tiredness and bad luck and that they will play better against Genoa. I really hope it because, right now, they don't deserve to lose.

Not many exact predictions in our pool this round, i count only 4, this has to be a record low for the season.
Starting Tuesday we have three straight rounds spread within a week, a good time for anyone trailing behind to get back in this.


yeah, last round was one of the best for me, and I approached possibility to leave the bottom, with one or two rounds, so this is my chance
did go through the pool during weekend, and it seems that in this prediction pool, it only matters to get the exact score, since most prediction regarding winner are usually the same for all participants, very interesting, but subject to the league that most matches have clear favorite

so, interesting take-off for me, from this pool is that Italian league is of really low and segregated quality, with top teams much better than the rest of the crew, according to bookmakers, but there is a lot of upsets as well

Did anyone watch the late game? I can't believe Milan dropped points tonight, Parma had literally 2 or 3 shots towards the goal and scored two, Calhanoglu hit the post three times Cheesy, Diaz once and Castillejo got his goal reverted for less than an inch offside. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As worst as it gets, this round started really bad... My biggest disappointment is that I didn't go for Verona despite having a feeling for it, instead I locked it as a tie...Zero points from first matches, this could end being my worst round since we started...

@Trofo @buwaytress, Thanks for the explanation about auto-picks, nice that we have some sorta protection in case we forget to make our picks in time.

Another shitty round, eh?

Crotone with their first win of the season, and of course i was there to back Spezia, haha silly me!
Torino with another home loss, i think Marco Giampaolo might be the first coach whos going to get sacked, the sooner the better for Il Toro fans.
Lazio.....goodness me, they ruined a massive ticket for me, had them 1X and O1.5, but an own goal and awful mistake by Lazio's former captain Radu was enough to lose, guess nobody expected Verona to land 3pts here?

I hope we all get better results tomorrow!

Huge win by Crotone today which is their first win in the Italian Serie A! Nobody was expecting a big win from them but they destroyed La Spezia psychologically. If you watched the game you would have seen that Messias resembled a true champion! Too bad for me as I bet on the draw

I wanted to ask, what happens if someone forgets to submit his picks, do we get zero points or...?
You have 10 or 15 auto picks, not sure. Meaning if you forget to place a pick you will get auto pick of the most picked result for that match. After you use all your auto picks you get 0 points. You can also deliberately leave a few games throughout the season without pick when you aren't sure what to pick and maybe auto pick will get you more points Smiley


Those who went for the draw should probably feel disappointed, Sassuolo's goalkeeper had some crazy saves in the second half, down a man.

I'm not sure what's crazier, Sassuolo currently being second in the table or that they have conceded only 12 goals (5th best i think).
They should have conceded several goals yesterday but as you said good keeper and a bit of luck were enough for 1:0 win. They should be really happy with this win on another day it would have ended with 0 points for them.

10 picks the entire season per pool. It resets. You've to make sure the option's on though, but since it's the default option you don't need to do anything extra if you never touched settings. It's definitely helped me out every season past since playing. I've missed entire week just because I forgot to actually make my picks!

Shit week so far. I bet on Sassuolo but rest of my legs didn't make it so parlays dead anyway.

1.5pts for me, not bad given i usually suck with my Friday predictions but Sassuolo somehow managed to keep that 1-0 lead until the end and win.

That just shows how important psychological component is in sports. I am expecting it to last for some time as well and will try to cash in Napoli in the coming weeks.  Another good example are Spurs from PL, they started believing and that is biggest achievement from Mourinho. It is maybe even easier to see that psychological impact in individual sports like tennis.


Very true, I would say that belief, confidence and bravery are the most important qualities an individual and team has to nurture and adopt develop all the time. This is crucial for every aspect of life, not only sports. Psychology was introduced into sports late and it is still not valued enough!

I agree with you. Napoli has been playing really well lately. It reached the third position as if nothing happened, earning the podium next to Inter and the almost unbeatable Milan. It almost seems like Maradona is leading them somehow. I can't wait to see them playing again.

I think the psychological boost will definitely carry them on for a few more games at least, if not the whole season. Sad that you need tragedy to pull a team together sometimes.

this was a well played round, with almost all results, Roma excluded, having expected
I have missed Parma as well, but Benevento is obviously getting their form in shape after win in Florence, they took point from Juve as well

you can see by the pool results, almost everyone has 10+ points, and usually this pool has lowest scores

Napoli is getting into title race, but Juventus will get into top 3 as well, I would like to see Ibra with trophy at the end, not so much a fun of Milan, but Ibra is briliant

I don't know what your decision was but I'm sure except you parlayed win or draw on the under dogs other than Crotone, you'd lose your bet  Wink

I'd have had another exact score with Napoli, but the last goal happen... I'm probably going to drop by a few position by the end of the round  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Ended up skipping the selections entirely, I think was wise in the end. Been over-exposing my betting lately and not getting much joy from underdog selections, I think now there's value only in double digit odds against big teams, and 4/1 or above for CL contenders.

Phew yeah, Juve pulled that one out of the hat, keeps me in the running in a parlay, much-needed win, but now Barca has to come back from a goal down too. You all know I'm talking about Steve's Multi Magic of course haha. Inter doing the job we all know they should though, so I guess we're climbing up with some points unless old Inter shows up and lets 2 in heh.

Almost perfect for me so far Cheesy Two exact result hits and Inter very close, now lets see if today will be a normal days and point reaping continues or there will be surprises. I'm most interested in Hellas Verona match today somehow, feel like a tricky match there.

Juventus should wake up, it is just a breath away from being ousted from the podium. If they continue to rely only on Ronaldo they will end up having weaknesses in every game. It's nice while he is there, but when they find themselves without him they are almost suffering, and you can see it.
