In any case, speaking of Sevilla, Jules Kounde helped 2 fans travel to see their next tie in Copa del Rey. Similar to Harry Kane recently who promised 2 fans who spent 31 hours travelling but Burnley game postponed, that they'll be watching the next game as his personal guests.

I love these footballers, such kind hearts.
It's nice to hear about such things. Even if it's done for PR, it's still positive thing and fans will remember it for long.
BTW, Sevilla their game against Cordoba from 4th division Cordoba won just after Extra Time. I watched this game, but TV channel didn't bothered to show Extra Time and after 90 minutes of game they just switched to Merseyside derby. And I'm paying money for such service Cheesy.

Totally agree man. I know for sure nowadays players have agents, and even some of them have other people managing their Twitter or social media, but for me, it's the thought that counts and even if it wasn't really Kounde or Kane who said those things (but I have a big feeling it's them or at least the original words came from them), it's positive and this is what club owners and coaches need to learn about Smiley

Stop paying for the service haha or make a big complaint to them for a refund Wink

I would say - Sevilla as usual, they cannot win against major team away, and that is happening season after season

Osasuna played 1:1 with Elche, did not expected that, they are usually better at home, and Elche was with many injured players, but obviously tough defenses are the way in La Liga

There were a lot of draws in all the leagues I did not expect, so even getting Barca win was not good enough for me as I failed on other parts of my multibet.

I guess the answer was semi expected. They did take the lead but if you're going up against Real you've to decide what to do after a lead long before the game. You can't defend it, that's for sure, so you take advantage and go for more or you try to get them to play the game they don't want, which is to think in the end they can score late.

Looking forward to Real game tonight, really want to see how good is Sevilla. They are getting the points but I feel like it is more a case of not so good competitors than their actual worth. We shall see tonight. My bet is on both to score to make it more interesting to watch.

Anyway, all pointless to think Real are out of this season as some people on Twitter were saying earlier. Immediate question is if they can hold on to Benzema. That guy seems to be motivated by off-field happenings!

Anyway a 3 pointer for me from last night's game but I am far far away Smiley

Trofo still on the top so far, but surprisingly Top 3 in this pool's leaderboard doing crap this round -- or is this no surprise since the favourites are dropping points like a kid dropping Halloween candy? -- 3 draws means 3 zeroes for me though Espanyol looks like they'll hold on for the win for another wrong prediction for me...
Well it was about time I drop the points difference to the top at least for a few points. My plan in the pools is always to be in the striking distance of money positions before last few game weeks and then storm the table Smiley This pool needs some work, I am happy where I am in the other two.

That's for sure the worse, casperBGD, to not win as a fan as a a predictor, the worse is always betting against your team and losing though, which is why I can never bring myself to bet against Barcelona. I never even bet on them to draw or to use positive handicap, and I guess 99% of fans who bet also never do that against themselves or am I wrong to assume that? Smiley

Actually, I used to think this was the case too. I've never bet against Liverpool or my local team. Just can't bring myself to do it, even when value bets present themselves (cup games usually I'd say for Liverpool or when they're huge favourites just based on form). But the last time I discussed this with some sports gamblers, apparently there are many who bet against their team just so that if they lose, they at least have some consolation prize money. Hedging bets, if you will. I see nothing wrong with that ha.

And today's score 3:1 looks quite easy on paper, but it's not, considering that Villarreal made score 1:1 15 minutes until end of game. In Messi era probably it wouldn't be big deal, but for current Barca winning such game is big achievement.

yeah, Barca scored two goals in last minutes, Villareal was usually easy, but I expected from them to hold today
what I did not see before the match is that this is Barca's first away win this season, somehow thought that Barca already won something on a side, but they did not before Villareal, and I would chase that win @2.7 for sure, if I was aware of that

shitty round for me so far, only Mallorca came as expected, changed Valencia from draw to win in last minutes, so double-zero, as a fan and in the pool (not betting on my favorite clubs)

La liga is back tonight, but, tomorrow, Villareal - Barcelona...historically, villareal has been a relatively easy peasy game for Barca,, fun fact: last time the yellow submarine beat Barca in the league was in 2008 👀
This thing sounds unbeleavable, but yeah it's true. I wouldn't say that Villarreal is easy peasy for us, especially at El Madrigal, but somehow Barca managed not to lose against them for so long. And today's score 3:1 looks quite easy on paper, but it's not, considering that Villarreal made score 1:1 15 minutes until end of game. In Messi era probably it wouldn't be big deal, but for current Barca winning such game is big achievement.
Still, I'm a bit surprised that referee didn't gave penalty when Pique touched ball with hand.

@buwaytress, I already watch way too much football, so, following Segunda would be an overkill for me. I turn it on and makesome bets only when fight for spots in La Liga begins.

Trofo getting some good leads on the first 3 games. I made these picks quite early but now looking at them I don't really know why I didn't pick a draw for Valencia when they're quite good at doing that at home... still not so bad as Celta are in an acca I got.

And more bleh draws ruining me all over this weekend.

i tend to avoid betting on events/leagues that i'm not familiar with, Segunda division falls in that category (i know the teams but i don't follow the league regularly), but, i get what you mean by good value, i suppose yo-yo clubs like Norwich or Espanyol could be great for these kind of bets

Norwich in Championship for sure 100%, but never in premier league (unless it's 25/1 like it was against City 2 seasons ago, I still have great memories of that heh).

But exactly. They're so shit, but because of their status, the bookies don't rate them, and then when they DO relegate, they're too good to stay down but bookies forget they're that good and keep giving them good value bets, especially away from home Wink

Thanks for every work you do Trofo Smiley And great work on picking the granada draw. I lost early bet already by being stupid and picking home team so now have to bet even more lol

yeah, draw from Granada was not expected, but two goals from Granada in the first half were almost enough for a win
but, my boy, Maximiano scored goal to himself, and brought his team down, he was sliding back to goal line, and brought the ball with him, more bad luck than stupid move, but own goal is never easy to swallow

[/quote]This is probably the main reason why I bet on Villarreal. Villarreal knows how to restrain opponents, and a draw is the most likely for this match, but still I think that Xavi has not yet managed to correct the situation in such a short time, because there is still much more talk than effect.

Lucky you, so many free bets you don't even know where are they coming from Smiley
I also got a couple of free bets, although I won nothing on the forum. I believe that such generosity is associated with Black Friday or with the fact that free bets were received by those who did not manage to activate the drop within an hour.  Cry

Why is nobody complaining that I have not graded last week challenge and put up new one? I was sure I have done it and forgot all about it later on. It seems nobody here needs free bets Smiley

Anyway, I'll take care of it now and use only Sunday matches to give you all a bit more time to enter your predictions. Sorry.
New challenge should be up in couple of minutes.

OK I will do my best to complain but you know maybe that in gambling world if you are patient the casinos treat you nicer than the ones who don't.

Besides I have spent a lot of freebets chasing zeroes now especially as the last ones were won just before international break where I am betting based purely on odds. So now I think if I win something during those breaks I don't mind waiting for club action to restart, maybe that was the thinking behind the winners being patient? :p

maybe they thought you were busy so they didn't wanna bother you with a bunch of pm's in your inbox (:  personally, i got a couple of freebets this week and i thought one of em was from the weekly challenge which is why i didn't check the thread in 'games and rounds'
Lucky you, so many free bets you don't even know where are they coming from Smiley
If you see me lagging with challenge just write a post in any of the threads, I am keeping an eye on them all the time.

Some great matches this week across all leagues. Will be easier to bear out crappy whether here.

sunday matches, eh? the big one is gonna be Real madrid - Sevilla...sounds like a no brainer for the challenge, no?

La liga is back tonight, but, tomorrow, Villareal - Barcelona...historically, villareal has been a relatively easy peasy game for Barca,, fun fact: last time the yellow submarine beat Barca in the league was in 2008 👀

Real should win easily on Sunday, in the pool there are two Real matches for this week, another on Wednesday, both home wins Smiley

regarding Barca, having them @2.7 with Villareal is really something, Villareal lost in CL, and will be interesting to see can they beat tradition on Saturday

what about Bilbao and Granada tonight, my favorite keeper will try to save the team in Baskia, probably not enough to avoid loss

anyhow, Rayo vallecano - Mallorca about to start, sounds like the perfect game to have as background noise lol if Rayo wins, they'll move 3 points ahead of Barcelona...i'm sending all the positive energy i can to the madrid team  Grin

Rayo trashed Mallorca, but conceived one goal in last minutes
they have solid team, have beaten Barca at home, so it is not unexpected to be above Barca on the table (joking, of course)

Sevilla is this round loser, with their draw with Alaves, Sociedad draw with Valencia was unexpected, but it is a bit less surprise than Sevilla

Anyone else like to follow bets on relegated teams in Europe leagues? I always feel like there is good value sometimes if the core team remains the same.
