What a wasted opportunity... It's difficult to comment something about game, but shit happens sometimes. It's pity to lose against team like Granada, especially when they are missing many important players. But everything is still in our hands.
Nobody aren't talking about it, but Sevilla is also in the race for title, I think they're hottest team in the league. I can't remember any season when there was 4 teams fighting for title just few rounds before end of season.

Did anyone take outright league winner bets this season?

Nope, before season I didn't had big expectations about Barca, it was difficult to expect that we can fight for it this season. I haven't checked this market during season. But personally, I rarely make such long term bets as outrights.

Sevilla yeah maybe but they also drew a lot in past, the only way they can make it is if all 3 top teams start losing 2 more games each, which well, is just impossible to hope for.

You're right though about Barca, I knew from early on we wouldn't win La Liga or anything. I hoped we would focus on UCL and build squads up instead but it ends up we are now still in the title race (but no longer in our hands because if Real wins everything they win.

That is one way of looking at it. I think I like it that much just because there is always that chance that weaker team will use their one good chance and walk away with all points. But it sure hurts when your favorite team is on the receiving end of that one chance Grin

Hopefully this is enough upsets for today so my Man Utd bet will come true. I was thinking to take that Man Utd match line or both to score and of course Roma just scored an equalizer.

It's my favourite part of football, too. The cruelty with which your team can rise all the way to the top by killing giants, and then have it all taken away in the end... or by rolling on undefeated for seasons long and then fall into a patch and lose against derby rivals for the first time in decades (lol Everton).

And of course, I totally love that underdogs in football get 20+ odds as soon as the favourites start getting overhyped. Just need to hit a few of them a season to make it profitable haha.

I made 2 underdog picks today. Granada and Roma (6/1, which actually climbed to 7/1!). So it seems we are on opposite ends of this game! United just equalised so all is safe so far;)

Granada made it on efficiency, from my perspective they held the ball for maximum ten minutes during the match, but made it to score two goals

will be more than interesting, and I would support the underdog now, Sevilla to the title

That's not the first time Granada or any underdog won converting their goals with their only shots! I know because Liverpool is this season on the receiving end of that ha ha sobs ha ha.

end not just equalizer, hoped for good old derby between Manchester and Arsenal in the final, but seems that will be total opposite at the moment

and just when you though you saw everything and it was a great season, but Barca will nail it in the end, Granada had two shots and two goals, and still leading on Camp Nou
this could be another game changer for La liga, if finished as Granada win, ten minutes to go

Yeah we can talk all day about remaining opponents and projected points for top teams but then comes Barca and looses against Granada at home. I am quite sure nobody got this one correct except maybe @buwaytress. This was just the right odds for you buddy, hope you took it Wink

Thank you very much, indeed I took the bet, it was just a little over 22/1, it does remind me of Granada early season and last when they gave me superb wins. Unfortunately, I'd predicted a full-blown 3-0 in our little pool, so I remain well outside the Top 5, with 5 games to go haha. Nice yellow cap Trofo buddy, but I don't mind at all celebrating this upset with, as casper said, only 2 shots on goal.

Trofo, slaman29, LTU_btc, toma

Ah yes. The trials and travails of the fan who also bets on his team. I sometimes look back on my younger days watching local football (can you imagine not even realising there was football outside, I thought World Cup was the only foreign football there was!) and wonder if I had access to betting what kind of money I'd have thrown away on my team (relegated to the lowest tier, disbanded and rebranded twice since I last watched them).

Did anyone take outright league winner bets this season?

Sometimes I think it's better not to bet on your own team because you're biased.

that's one of the main rules in the "Things to avoid when in sports betting" book (if such a book exists lol) i'm surprised when i see ppl in this board actually betting on their fav team, i've done it a few times with Real Madrid, never again, my rational thinking goes out the window as soon as i start looking at the betting markets, it's all about favoring Real Cheesy

btw, @LTU_btc, plz, don't get too close to me in the leaderboard, yeah? you're 1.5 pts away from taking my 2nd place, man Grin

Tell me all about fan bias. There were many times I should have bet against my own team given their terrible form this season (before the last 10-15 games that is).

As you say, if we just know how to drop our team at least (if we cannot bet against them), we would be saving loads of money. GL catching up Trofo.

Sometimes I think it's better not to bet on your own team because you're biased. But often I simply can't resist

. In first part of season betting on Barca cost me a lot of money. But in second part of season I'm already recovering what I lost.
@Trofo, 4 exact picks in this round so far is impressive thing, well done.
@casperBGD, can your forget to leave picks for some games? Because I don't see other way how to reach you Cheesy

And fan bias? Ask Liverpool how much they've lost me this season =)

Yep, fan bias is very bad for our profits. You should drop Liverpool altogether when you are not able to play against them. If City had performances like LFC you would be swimming in money Grin

More importantly, 4 correct scores for me this round. @top 3 watch your backs guys I am getting closer and closer

in the end, Barca proved their worth, and got a double present from Madrid, where both teams lost points
is this a sneaking in for Sevilla into title race, I would love to see them with a trophy at the end, but clearly doubt that they are capable to get it, maybe they even think that they cannot as well

Total swing in fortunes eh? As they fought back from a goal down, others lost or drew, so that table's as tight as it'll ever get this season, so fun to see a 3-horse race this late on in the season. I have to thank Griezmann too for making my weekend good, covered all losses elsewhere and much more with my HT Barca win which I honestly thought was over when Villareal scored first.

Now Barca has everything on their own hands. They are still one point from the top but they have played 1 game less than all other teams in the run for title. In other words if Barca wins all the games till the end, they are champions.

agree that Barca has best chances to win it in the end, and their form is probably the best at the moment
from my side, I will just seat and watch, since all teams in competition are equal to me, would like to see Sevilla up, but just from underdog stand, nothing more or less

my team will stay in the league in the end, and miss Europe next season, so waiting for next season

fun fact: in the pool, Valencia is my bogey team (just one in the La liga pool), in Premier league have three, and Everton (my team) is within the list as worst (with Liverpool as well there), only Cagliari (my team) in Serie A pool is not in that list (just Sassoulo), so there is certainly a fan bias there, do other have fan bias as well?

Wow totally unexpected,,, late season falling apart for Atletico, last night should have been a winnable game or at least one they should have drawn.

Trofo's right I think they only need a draw with Atletico at that stage to win the title, but I really don't wanna jinx my own team so I'll just keep silent for the next few rounds. Amazing season.

The games look very winable on paper. There is only Atletico at Nou Camp which stands out as difficult fixture. Real has Sevilla, Bilbao and Villareal. In addition to that Real also has Champions League to add extra fatigue. Atletico has Real Sociedad and Barca. I am thinking even draw in Barca - Atletico game should be enough for Barca to clinch it.

^^ Trofo and casper Seems you were both right somewhat about Betis, I was hoping some strange things would happen but as it turned out, a scoreless draw settled those two. So yeah, lost my bet even with Real drawing.

@casper, giant corpse yellow sub? But they're clearly the underdogs in that match, I'd never see them winning this one, not with Barca on such red hot form (when you see Messi and Griezmann smiling like they've been in past couple of matches, you gotta fear them ha). I'm going big on them a single HT win at 22/10. As you say, 5/1 is NOT enough value to bet against them.

if had to call for a giant corpse, would call it tomorrow for yellow submarine, Betis is not my bet
it is not just teams that will be available today, it is statistic as well, Betis did not lost match in Madrid since 2017, and there is not much teams (if any) that can put that on the table as well, so it is their time to lost it

for tomorrow, Villareal does seem as up and down with form, but they could pull it, although @5 does not seem enough to put a bet on it

I intentionally put draw prediction on this game, though it was difficult to expect goaless draw. Betis are playing good football lately, but few recent their games ended with a draw. It sounds a bit strange, but now Real didn't managed to score against Betis at home 4 games in a row!
My weekend would be perfect if we will win Villarreal tomorrow and Atletico will drop points against Athletic (what is likely IMO).

The draw for Real Madrid was actually a win for Barcelona, All through the week I've been thinking Barcelona's fixture for tomorrow be against Atletico btw, wow! I guess I just can't to get that fixture off Barcelona's to do list.

Fun Fact is that Athletic Bilbao have also played draw all through their last five fixtures, so we anticipation of what happened at Betis tonight to repeat itself tomorrow.
