Small bump and info that new challenge is up. Be careful guys we have corners this time around instead of cards as per @tomahawk9 wish. I am really psyched a bout Sevilla derby this weekend so that is the game from La Liga. Did not want to feature Milan again but had to since it is Milan derby

one more match in this round, Granada is playing, Maximiano on goal, should be one more 0:0
edit: Sanchez just scored, 0:1
Granda destroyed Levante in the end, really did not see that one coming, was expecting a scoring draw like 1:1. Even had a late ticket with both to score where all other games passed in the end but Levante ruined my combo. Did not watch the match but I am blaming Soldado, he should still be good enough to put one goal past Granada.edit: Sanchez just scored, 0:1
We continue with CL matches tomorrow, moment of truth for Barca. They need a win against Kyiv for a fighting chance of progressing trough.

Rayo let me down, or to put it the other way, I believed that they will be able to win tonight, since they were able to win over Barca
obviously win over Barca was enough for Rayo to take a break

Watched the livescore text updates for Getafe-Espanyol. Only 3 goals but 11 yellow cards in the whole game and get this: 17 corners in the game.
Don't know how often this happens in La Liga but I can't even remember the last time I saw 10 cards without a red... This would have been a massive 31-point Soccer Blackjack heh.
P.S. nice exact hit rdbase.

Yeah Dembele is the saddest of all those names for me, other than Fati who lost almost one whole season in this most important stage of his development.
Aguero's injury seems to be compounded too by some heart issue, so we really shouldn't play him again and just assume he's not going to be available.
Good thing our youngsters are playing without fear.

I HATE predicting draws but yeah [...]
I only predict draws if I have a parallel multi bet that I don’t want to hedge but would upset me to lose. Although partly this is also hedging, but in this case I get nothing but points. As you can see in the La Liga pool, this does not work very well for me, since in just a few rounds I dropped almost 10 positions (but got some bitcoins). Although in the Serie A pool, this tactic works a little better, but still here I lost about 10 easy points when everyone got them. 
Yeah I'm using these prediction pools to "hedge" my actual betting so if I lose money I'm not too disappointed. But still, actually predicting draws goes against my instinct. And yet again, Barca proved that the draws would have been a good strategy in these tight games (imagine saying Barca-Alaves would be tight just a season ago!).
1-1 Barcelona, mid table during Halloween 🎃 scary stuff, folks 👻
on the bright side, 1 point could mean a lot in the fight for an europa league spot 😂🤣

And hey, winning THAT with a young team would actually be pretty good, and the prize money isn't something to ignore anyway

Another disappointing result for Barcelona, but our game wasn't that bad as we had recently. It's diffciult to expect big changes in squad from interim coach, especially considering that we have so many injured players. Now it's most importang thing to survive somehow until international break, especially in Champions league next week and maybe after break we will have new coach already.
Our youngsters didn't played bad, but lac of experience in some moments was obvious. And I think it was one of rare games where L. De jong would be useful. And finally, Dest as winger is awful.

Another disappointing result overall but I would say I enjoyed watching the young lads play, the future might not be bad after all.
Gavi and Nico were really impressive and I wonder how they'd fare if being able to play under a more versatile manager ?
Aguero getting injured again is another bad news, meaning Barcelona most likely wouldn't be able to depend on his fitness, the injury list for Barcelona is getting bigger, Fati who's barely got back and Dembele who has never got back 🤔

Sure, but do a proper job and give me some margins which will work for all the games. 3 choices as usual, ie under 8, 8-11, 12 and more. Not playing corners often so I don't have a feel for it and I am too lazy do do research 
i like the margins, maybe change the 8-11 to 9-11 and we're good to go?

If Buwaytress was the only user with double digits points, then I guess it shows how terribly the results have been for those backing the favorites teams.
I was pretty sure I backed most of the favourites too actually, at least, calling the tight games on the home team, or the away team that should have been the favourite. Sociedad away win was pretty obvious too (even though I totally backed Celta to win on the previous match, Aspas and Mina have been pretty slow to get off the mark).
Getting two big results from 2 draws also hurts me internally as I HATE predicting draws but yeah, have been more disciplined with it this season across all leagues... see, even a draw would have put anyone ahead as none of us thought Atletico would get any result other than a win.
October 29, 2021, 04:32:13 PM
All I had was 2.5 points from Betis vs Valencia and Real Sociedad win over Celta Vigo...

We've got an early kickoff for tomorrow so don't forget to put your picks in.
There are still a lot of tricky to pick fixtures this week as well, Betis vs Atletico, Valencia vs Villarreal is another one.

That free bet challenge was intended as community thing and nothing is set in stone. If you guys have requests feel free to let me know.
how about Total Corners instead of yellow cards for one of the next challenges? let's change it up a bit Edit: your wish will be granted from next challenge, I was in a hurry today and did not feel like mixing the things up
October 29, 2021, 06:59:27 AM
Atletico didn't managed to beat one of bottom teams Levante. Oblak wasn't able to save late penalty.
Atletico dropping points, i saw that coming from a mile away and still refused to change my predictions, ffs! I'll grant your wish and pick Euskal Derbia, not that I ever heard that name before

we are heading to weekend, @Trofo, did you set weekend games for our game, maybe "Euskal Derbia" could be a good for change, not having top4 teams, but Sociedad and Bilbao, since Sociedad is leader at the moment?
it could be a good change to having Barca, Real, Atletico all the time, and this year derby will provide great game, seemed on both teams form
Not set anything yet, I will grade this week challenge and set the games for new one later today.

Seems that we can't. Atletico didn't managed to beat one of bottom teams Levante. Oblak wasn't able to save late penalty. We are talking a lot about Barca problems, but Atletico and Real is also struggling. We have new leader - Real Sociedad. Real and Sevilla 3 pts behind with game in advance.

yeah, what a round, from top4 favorites, there was no win, and I think whole pool has zero points on these four matches

Barca now have interim coach from Barca B until new manager will be found. There is lot of talk about Xavi, but I don't want him in Barca now. Barca with current squad and no money isn't best club for young coach without much experience. I'm afraid that it may end same or worse like Pirlo or Lampard. Few years later, yes, welcome.
3 games left and 5.5 points is the max anyone has been able to get in our pool...c'mon guys, we can do better than that

Anyway, whole game week full of strange results, bookies will be counting profits for some time 
all the favorites shit the bed. I'm not confident about my Atletico and Real Sociedad picks3 games left and 5.5 points is the max anyone has been able to get in our pool...c'mon guys, we can do better than that
Barca's not in such bad shape I'd say.
i remember some guy on twitter saying that prior to the game against Rayo, this Barca got 2 points less than last season in matchweek 10 or 11, and they had messi and griez... October 28, 2021, 05:46:37 AM

The next match, Barcelona will play at home against Alaves and it looks like it will be a good opportunity for Barcelona to get points.

having home match with Alaves is a good chance for even Elche to win, so it should be good for Barca as well
Barca is lucky that all other contenders are playing lousy, so they could easily catch with the top in case of a series of good results
with all said, I think that Atletico and Real will be top2 (probably Real, than Atletico), Sevilla third, and Sociedad could get position 4, in front of Barca, that could finish fifth, what are your end-season prognosis for top5
