Late game between Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano starts now. Idss for Sevilla win is low, so I took over 2.5 @2.15.
Also, not sure why they gave such big odds for Atletico - 2.2 was bargain.

yeah, in the end, easy round for La liga, with all top teams winning their respective matches
Atletico won it, but it was not all roses for them during the match, Sevilla showed that they are here to be fourth again, decreasing Valencia chances for new CL next season

will be interesting to see Villareal tonight, what they could put on the pitch, Granada had their seasons, and this will lead to down part of the table probably

I took Atletico, Barca and Sevilla, but was very idiotic to put City in together in my accumulator so failed. Worse was City was the first game along with Atleti. I should have doubled down on the remaining 3. Indeed 2.1x on Atletico was so good odds LTU... too bad I got too greedy.

Just watched whole Barca game and I must say I liked what I saw. They are playing fast football and Sociedad was nowhere to be seen. Griezmann and Braithwhite played big parts when defending as well, Depay looked dangerous every time he had ball in his feet. They only need Griezmann to find attacking form and Ter Stegen to come back from injury to again start dreaming about big things.

In the end Sociedad scored 2 goals but they did not deserve even that much. I had both to score on my ticket so good for them but they did not show much today, I had a feeling they are plying only to avoid total disaster instead trying to win.

You can't imagine how relieved I felt seeing Braithwaite take the responsibility. Now we just need Fati, Stegen, Dembele all back fit and we can have a bit more stability in the front and back department. I almost agree with you about Griezmann but I've learned all about not relying on him anymore.

Indeed, very solid game of Barca, if not these 2 goals conceded in the end. But these goals don't reflect game at all. Who need Messi when we have Braithwaite? Just kidding Cheesy. But seriously, it was probably best his game in Barcelona. Depay also played solid game.

What a bad start for me, almost like last season! I'm counting on my team tonight to help me make up for the lost points but honestly as long as we get 3 points I'm happy. First game post-Messi era, it's a new dawn for us. Just hope we pull it together and don't get all the reds and yellows we started out like last season!

@vd309 (MoSalah right?) awesome haul indeed man, well bloody done. What a way to punch a lead!

It's Real Madrid game to lose now, they've scored 3 goals in less than 20 minutes into 2nd Half, and you're literally right, It was 2 goals from Benzema, there surely no way back now. Real Madrid is the last game from my 5-game parlay.

Yeah, Real doing business as usual, am surprised they got off to such a quick start though but the Benz indeed has been in a rich vein of form and he'll be insistent on carrying this entire season on his shoulders.

@toma I have a feeling we'll be seeing very few clean sheets in La Liga in early games! Everyone's been focusing on attack;) Barca should score a couple, but I can't guarantee they'll not let in a few either!

I think both Hazzard and Bale are feeling more ok with Ancelotti as coach even if Zidane is the best in the world right now and I think he patiently waits to take over national squad of France. This year might be one of the craziest in LaLiga in the last years as I see Real favorite followed by ATL.Madrid , Barcelona, Sevilla and Valencia top run after this 4.

Tomorrow looks like a day with goals but I feel a surprise might happen in one of the games...

team looked really good tonight, tho. Bale with a suprisingly good performance, Hazard was decent, Alaba immense, midfield was great with Modric playing like he's still in his 20s, and just another day in the office for karim. All in all, a solid start (:
Did not watch the game but if Hazard and Bale are showing signs of life and they manage to get close to their top form - Real will be very good this season. I expected Alaba to fir right in Real squad, Modric and Benzema are producing the goods almost every game for last couple of seasons so no reason to stop now Smiley

vd309 with enormous haul so far. Congrats on getting that many correct outcomes.

I'll just sit out betting on tonight. Maybe a BB on Barca tomorrow though!
told u benz was gonna show up tonight, although i was too optimistic about the clean sheet  Cheesy
Barca tomorrow, i think i'll place .5 unit on BTTS. Have a feeling Sociedad will put up a good fight

EDIT: Alaves have pulled one back from the penalty spot, I still don't expect any further drama, though.
brainfart from militao, but it was the first game of the season, so...

So, season oficially started, congrats, folks Smiley. So, we have 16 players, morethan last season, it's great, considering that we had slow start.
17 players now. But there are only 13 replies in the weekly free bet challenge thread  Lips sealed

Tempted to bet against Real Madrid tonight, but I'm going to wait for my other bets to pan out first.
u wot mate?? Angry

nah, we'll grab the 3 pts with a comfortable 0-2. Double from the old Benz  (:  ugh, but if former pro footballer fat boy Isco is playing, then we're sht out of luck cuz we'll be playing with 10 men

Yeah, odds aren't pretty either so I'm still dragging my feet. Have just about broke even in EPL action. Lost almost all the underdogs so far, but have got unexpected luck on matches I wasn't even watching. Two big parlay losses evened out by a Chelsea to win both halves (2/1 I thought it was good value) and even Watford to win (35/10) so I'm pleased to be home and dry, I'll just sit out betting on tonight. Maybe a BB on Barca tomorrow though!

Of course, as you said, Valencia was a man down for most of the match so this may not be realistic showing of teams value.

it was a record breaking red card for Valencia, he did not last for one minute to get red card
not sure that it is a fastest red card in history, but in La Liga season for sure, since that was first match in the season

nevertheless, this could be a good season for VCF, since we won a match when nothing came out well for us, last season we will lost so many points when we played good football

Good start for my pool. Didn't make the exact score but I thought it was dangerous to back Valencia, given how often they let us down last season. Terrible way to lose a player for your start, but I guess 3 points against Getafe is worth it for them.

Valencia opened season with not an easy win against former team of new Valencia coach Bordalas - Getafe. Valencia got very early red  card on 3th minute after brutal foul of Guillamon. But just few minutes later they responded with a goal and result haven't changed until the end.
 I see that Valencia promote their Fan Token on shirt - seems it's new trend in football. In La Liga, Barca, Atletico and Levante have their fan tokens too.

I watched parts of the game yesterday and Getafe was much better team. They missed couple of great chances and Valencia keeper had some world class saves. Fair result would have been a win for Getafe but I really can't believe how they were unable to score at least one goal.

Of course, as you said, Valencia was a man down for most of the match so this may not be realistic showing of teams value.

First weekly challenge is up, go check it out and post your predictions:

Thank you! I'm putting in my predictions but I wish I'd done it earlier as the ones I really wanted were already taken BUT maybe I just copy someone and put a different tie breaker;) Would anyone be mad if I did this?SmileySmiley

Sportsbet users are such a privileged bunch of people don't you agree?Smiley


Thanks for quoting this post, If not I literally would have missed out on this 🤥

Indeed we are underway for the new season, and it's more worth playing all through the 38 weeks even if one should drop out of the prize winning zones before the end of the season.

Perhaps I'll do much better this season since I won't be so expectant of Barcelona and Real Madrid, However what are the chances of Atletico Madrid winning La Liga in 2 consecutive seasons ?

the total possible emission is 20,000,000 coins, while the circulating supply is only 3,000,000 coins. I am sure that he will receive at least a million coins, which is approximately equivalent to the declared bonuses, and even if this bonus is unlocked after the expiration of the contract, it will turn out so that one of the players in the future will be able to veto any decision of the club.

agree on this, but there are few things to consider
even now, best players have the right to veto some decision, it is just that this is not explicable, it is "non-written" possibility that best players have, or they will leave the club in the end

nevertheless, even now big stakeholders have the right to veto all decisions, and great players should have more insight in club functioning than some "financier" from outside

just thinking that Messi is not "one of the players", others that match-up that category will receive less tokens, and will not have veto possibility
it would be a conflict of interest if Messi puts "diamond hands" on his $PSG stack, and then leave to be in Barcelona board (which should be his role after finishing career)

When is the deadline for joining the pool?

Sorry, I was off for some days and didn't realize who close the new season was (Thanks for the reminder @Trofo). I could try to process a payment later today (13th Aug) if I am not late.
Today is the first game, so make sure you enter the prediction for it. If you process the payment later today I'll send you the links more or less immediately. I am close to the computer whole day. Glad you are back with us. In the end we will have more players than last year  Shocked
