Happy New Year, lads!

Same here, my freebet is on Valencia BB as well.

huh, i thought the betbuilder promo ended a week ago, guess i was wrong

i might drop it on the Mallorca - Barca game...Mallorca are actually pretty decent when playing at home, only lost 1 game and they've had some pretty good results against the big teams this season, draw vs. Villareal, Valencia, Sevilla, won vs. Atletico madrid,, i could see mallorca going on the attack a lot and getting a bunch of corners, maybe add some booking points + mallorca double chance 🤔

Valencia killed all of us.
~snip

yeah, it was a good game until 80 minutes, but red card, penalty and Valencia was down
goal in last minute just nailed it to have zero points, it was a good chance to ensure fight in Europe positions, but it is a long season, and this one is better than previous, so not complaining

do not forget to put picks for tomorrow

Valencia killed all of us. Started well but as usual they have a big problem with discipline and when you end up with 10 players, there's always a way for the opponent to get back into the game and win it all. Nobody in the pool even picked Espanyol but we should have seen it coming.

Happy New Year La Liga friends

And great to take a rest Trofo I think most of us are also too busy to make decent picks so let's all just enjoy the short holiday.

A lot of cards expected, since it was pretty low value for over 39.5 booking points (the minimum on offer on Betbuilder) but I decided to take it anyway since I was pretty sure we can get 2 yellow minimum per half, and heh, we already have 3 now.

Same here, my freebet is on Valencia BB as well. I had over 19.5 booking points each half which passed easy and Valencia win. Only problem I have both to score as well so I need one goal from each of them to get it right. Not gonna happen.

There will not be free bet competition for games on this Sunday. I just realized they are on and I feel like it would be forcing it, especially since Italy is still on break. I am sure Sportsbet would not complain but I want to keep it to under 40 rounds of free bets for season which means I can't organize it every time when just one league is playing and I already did that twice.

Have fun guys, I am off to celebrate New Year.

Thanks for the reminder, had my picks in long ago, and I've also thrown our final Freebet for Betbuilder on this game. 1-0 Valencia after 51st min goal.

Next games, I'd be wary of form calculations though. United and Liverpool sucked ass on their first games after rest, while teams who were forced to play without break carried their form over. La Liga might just also show some surprise reboots of form.

Good odds for Valencia, they're in good rhytm now and I expect their win.

Don't forget we have one game tomorrow and also check my new AFCON pool. It is free to join for all participants of this pool as well as all other currently running pools.
We have some thrown in from Sportsbet but this is intended more like "just for fun" then proper gambling pool.

unfortunately, the covid outbreak in la liga just hit real madrid: Courtois, vini, valverde and camavinga. They couldn't stay at home no, they had to go to dubai, usa, argentina...ffs!

Matchday 19 kicks off next friday with Valencia - Espanyol. FC Barcelona will visit Mallorca on sunday without 4 players because of covid and possibly Dembele too due to an injury (still not confirmed by the club). So far, next matchday will carry on as planned despite real sociedad, espanyol and celta having a lot of new covid cases in their squads.

yeah, Valencia is a last fixture this year, they are playing on last day this year, but in earlier time, 16:15 (bear in mind for entries)
should we win this, not sure, but interesting fact is that both, Valencia and Espanyol won over Levante 4:3 (last two matches for Levante in La Liga actually)

but more interesting is that Levante is having three 3:4 loses in a row, since they lost on penalties in cup, after having 3:3 draw in regular time (so, officially 3:4 lose)
what is your pick for Villareal - Levante

Dembele injured? What? No way man! Grin

Anyway, I'm not too worried with the injuries and absences because other clubs will be quite affected as well. At this point I'm not going to be disappointed if we even have to play a full academy in our defence lol

For now it's not big deal because it's break now. But following what happens in other leagues and sports, it's worrying thing. I can't remember such big outbreaks last season when there were no vaccines, it was few players at same time usually. Now there is many cases when half of team get positive test results.
In other news, Barca officially signed Ferran Torres. It's great stuff, but I'm not sure how current Barca were able to find €55 millions.

Yeah like I said I guess after the break all the positives will recover, but it's about the next wave of infections, and how they might view stadiums and even games as spreading vectors.

City the winner, and Barca the loser again (financially). Who was talking about Xavi and only 10 million yesterday? hehe

Seems like we're getting new Covid positives over in Catalan teams. Lenglet's positive, Alves also, and Espanyol has more than half the team also positive. Good that we're in break and supposed to play only in 14 days so 2 weeks should even be enough to clear the current cases.

But if the outbreak gets worse, then it spreads and then I'm not sure what to think of La Liga fixtures.

Be careful about Real tonight guys, they are missing 11 players. Source local portal index.
Covid: Alaba, Isco, Modrić, Marcelo, Bale, Rodrygo, Asensio and Lunin
Injuries: Ceballos and Carvajal
Cards: Casemiro

They still have great first 11, but the bench will be depleted and their midfield will not be the same without Modric and Casemiro. Time for Camavinga to shine

So this was the post I missed when I made my bets last night (again, none of my mistakes or corrections mattered for the past 2 days as I was let down hugely by other legs). To be fair, I'd definitely have skipped this if I read your post above. Again, inconsequential thanks to shitty picks in other legs.

Quote from: casperBGD on December 23, 2021, 06:32:25 AM

Granada is back in business lately, 4:1 with Mallorca, now Atletico
Atletico is really down, and this opens third and fourth place race for a moment, and Valencia is also in the race, simply great

Granada were my fav underdogs a couple of seasons ago, and have to admit Atletico last season generally were good for solid padding odds but I honestly can't bring myself to back Granada this season. Even Valencia, well, the day I grab them (odds were 27/10), Atletico failed so I lost a tidy number of accas, not to mention other markets.

I'm sort of glad Serie A is on holiday til Jan, I'm tricking away money at such a fast pace on "sure things".

it is hard to expect a draw from Granada, although I would not be surprised to see 0:0 in the end, Atletico is in bad shape obviously

2-1 Granada. you hate to see it. fun fact: i almost added this game to a parlay earlier today but atletico odds were too low,, dodged a bullet on that one

regarding Real, yeah, they could miss 20 players, and still be favorites, even against Sevilla or Betis in good shape, not to mention any other team in the league, big difference between top teams and the rest (for me, exact score to shine a light on this round)

yep, but, unless we're playing with the Real Madrid Castilla squad, i'll never predict a draw/loss in our pool or anywhere else,, can't send any negative vibes to my team, ya know? Wink

It seems as long as Benzema is not the one missing there is no fear for Real. This will be the easiest title in La Liga for as long as I can remember. Real is actually playing well but even if they were not there simply isn't any other contenders this year. Atletico and Barca already lost way too much points while Sevilla and Betis can have good spells but no way they will have the constant to win La Liga.

First goal from Benzema was a real beauty, i think he surprised everyone whit the decision to curl it first time. Whole action looked like they would circle the ball few more times around 16 yards box.

Well, Sevilla dropped points, Barca dropped points AND jordi alba got hit in the face...i'd say it was a good day

LOL Yeah I think Kounde felt like this was totally worth it, I love my club but I'll never really get over the way some of them just look like silly kids pretending to be hurt.

I also got Atletico to win, but damn Granada are spoiling all our parties all the time.

Quote from: tomahawk9 on December 22, 2021, 08:05:50 AM

between Sevilla staying in good form/as title contenders until April and Barcelona possibly winning the league title at the end of the season, i would go all-in Barcelona lol Sevilla always shit the bed in the league 😂

This season seems everyone shit the bed early lol and Real will win it without being the best.

I really wanted Atletico to defend their title but jeeeez they ate something bad and got diarrhea long before 19 games.

Real should win, they did not score against Cadiz, two matches without scoring would be more than unexpected, and Bilbao is not playing bus-goal football, which should provide goals
