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.

Waited for Betis to get to 8/10 all day but finally pulled the trigger at 6.1x. I smell a giant's corpse tonight.

I was looking at this one as well. Betis is playing very good football and they could make problems for Real today. If this was played a couple of days ago when Real was still missing some important players I would pull the trigger without thinking. This way with Real almost back to full strength, and taking in account that Fekir was red carded in last match I am not so sure.

Probably gonna wait for live betting before placing any bets.

Talk about tight on the first 2 games. Elche the big winner with 3 shots the whole game, 6 cards, surprised there was even a goal. If Elche survive this season, they need to find a way to score more goals or get defensive. Second worst goal difference will kill them in tight battles.

And I would have won last nights betbuilder too if only there was one more corner haha.

That will really teach me a lesson. Past two games picked to win by two plus goals, messi to score, and to win both halves. High enough. I had to pick over 4.5 corners to my selection. High scoring games huh.

Seems like you were right to count on more goals instead of just corners and cards! I barely made it too as was doing 20 booking points and that was exactly what the game produced.

Was such a lovely game to see, everybody was happy and scoring with joy, and we have something to soothe our pains and now we can truly focus on La Liga:)

No La Liga tonight but I'm of course watching my team take on Atletic Bilbao in Copa del Rey.

Looking to do a betbuilder, I know we are the favorites so the direct odds will not be so great. Messi to score. over 5 corners, over 2 cards for us. and Maybe do unders for Atletic.

What do you guys think?

It is a final and those are always tricky. I am expecting Barca to win since Bilbao has dropped off a little with their performances but it will not be easy. Will be watching the match as well, I like it when we have those late games in Spain, just in time to put my daughter to bed and watch in piece. How I miss those Classico matches that were around 10PM, it is not the same when they are playing in the afternoon but TV coverage makes money so I understand.

I suppose it's also to cater to our friends in Asia. Back when I was still single and watching games out, you have to stay way past midnight and then rush home before getting ready to work again in a couple of hours. Footbally literally ruined a lot of my work days, especially Champs League nights, since you'd stay around and watch highlights and stuff.

Waiting for a boost promo (surely there's a big one later) on this final. Maybe follow slam's Betbuilder but go a bit more enthusiastic on goals?
