Sevilla shat the bed, shame if we're surprised.

Yeah there is a good reason why we avoid teams like Sevilla on our tickets. I was even tempted by them today since they were starting to show some semblance of the form in recent weeks. They even managed to record some solid results but in typical Sevilla fashion they blow it up as soon as we start to believe a little.

I actually thought they are going to win that one, but it is kind a hard to imagine that Rayo is going to press them up to the wall in second half
and Sevilla could not make it to secure a win, they even struggled to secure a draw

one more in this round, and I just changed my prediction in the pool, Baraja is back to lead Valencia, this one should not come as a lose tonight, expecting goals and fire against Getafe, not sure about a win

Well, today they weren't favorites, Rayo is way above them on the table, so, away draw probably isn't that bad score. It's not same like failing to win against Cadiz or Elche.
@buwaytress, congrats with a win Wink

. I see we went with same answers on NBA, so it can't change situation.
C'mon Barca, one more goal please, I need it for my bet Cheesy

Well I hope all you guys are right as I'm hoping for at least 1 clean sheet in the Atletico game, so I win my first round against LTU_btc (who went for a BTTS pick). So far so good... #nojinx!

Elche red card already, hope that doesn't take your luck away, slam!

Sevilla shat the bed, shame if we're surprised.

My money's all spread out already and surprisingly still alive (I even forgot I put Real on one of my tickets last night) so I'm just going to ride Sunday out till the end without extra stress.

Very good reminder about cards actually! I might even go for a red card in this game because other markets don't look so interesting for me, I suspect it will be even 0-0 but with plenty of cards, so my Betbuilder for this is. Too bad cannot pick "red card" event so I went for the most "obvious".

Oh and yeah, Sociedad let me down, Villareal looks about to do the same.

Sociedad disappointed me too, while I'm somewhat not very suprised about Villarreal loss. Atletico - Athletic tomorrow and I'm going to look for yellow cards market in this game.

Good pick, I usually forget to look for those markets but then somebody comes along and reminds me. This game should deliver on cards since I am expecting a though contest. Atletico is always one rough challenge away from loss of discipline and Athletic is not much better. This can pass even if there is 0 cards in minute 80 with just one "brawl".

I am usually also checking for referees when playing cards market, there are some like Lahoz that always deliver, even if the game is low intensity.

good news from Valencia, Voro is out, and Ruben Baraja will take the team into relegation fight, not sure will we make it or not, but it will be better than with Voro

first match and really important one, with another struggler Getafe, and a chance to put them down, and maybe reach safety after next round

Why you're so confident that it's good news? Never heard about Baraja before, seems that he only managed Segunda Division teams. It doesn't looks like most promising replacement. Or Voro is just so bad that he can't mange team for more than few games and any replacement is better option than him Cheesy

Totally agree about Barca being a new side. Clean sheets. Long ball passes. 1-0 victories. It's such a different mood for us, and yet on the field style of play is similar to old stype (except the long balls!!).

Barcelona have been playing really better this year, as Xavi remains their coach, they still have some relic playing style from the old Barcelona we knew that was the best team in the world at one point. Barcelona play against Cadiz tomorrow who are almost at the bottom I. the Laliga and I am sure that Barcelona will win. Real Madrid won their game today and Barcelona will not want to loose to ensure that their lead does not reduce by some points.

That is good news, I might put them in on a ticket after tonight in this case -- I'm hoping they stay in, but also that they do something more permanent to make sure they stay up and put in a better showing next season. What that fix exactly is I can't say.

Good day for me on my 3 main tickets that isn't an acca... I'd have put another against Real today but Osasuna is not even 5/1 to win. I thought odds might change but a couple of hours to the game and it's refusing to budge. Atrocious!

Only thing we kept is booking points, it's La Liga I know so a lot of cards but we have been collecting cards for so many seasons now, at least fewer reds this time, I guess.

My only problem is I have been losing money everywhere, and using Barca only to regain losses. I wasted such a good stretch on good odds too, should have put standard bets on them.

~snip
Valencia suffered already 4th loss in a row and now they're in relegation zone. In the beginning of game Mestalla stadium was half empty, fans went to their seats only after 20 minutes as they made protest against club owner Lim.

if we don't change Voro, Segunda it is
he managed team at the end of 2020, 2021, and several times earlier as interim, but never for more than few matches, now it is planned to finish season, and doesn't look good at all

and debts are mounting, just hoping that there is enough teams that are on even lower point (Cadiz, Almeria and Girona being prime candidates), Getafe and Elche are already below

Barcelona defence is simply the wall this season. Another minimal 1:0 win without conceded goal. Just 7 goals in 21 games conceded, or 0.33 goal per game. In the end Villarreal dominated, but there was lot of confidence that Barca will not concede. While in previous seasons, most likely that they would conceded in such game. +11 already with Real yet to play this round game.
Atletico win against Celta goes against logic because Celta played much better, especially after Savic got red card. It's unbeleavable how they didn't managed to score with all moments that they had.

This is a new Barca side which can keep its net clear. That goes even more for home turf, I think I looked at the stats before the game yesterday and it was only one goal conceeded on whome turf in whole season. That is simply incredible. Especially for team like Barca that always looks very attacking and playing with lots of players up front.

Despite looking rather not so complete as a team, it is actually very commendable how Barcelona have been defensively even when under immense pressure for majority of some games, they managed to stay well disciplined and organized, it's just very unfortunate to have exited the UCL early this season, it would have been a joy to watch them in knockout rounds, which commences this midweek.

There is no team in the top five leagues in Europe with a better goal scored to goal conceded ratio, or even an equal or lesser amount of goals conceded than Barcelona, while still looking far from being perfect.

_____________________________

I made the gravest mistake in the pool today, by picking Villarreal to win 2-0 against Barcelona, it clearly was a mistake, even in our worse days, I wouldn't have picked Villarreal over Barcelona, but there is no point crying over spilled milk now, I guess.

Did badly in all my accas today, generally thanks to results in EPL and Serie A that didn't go my way. Sevilla would have been my replacement in those but would not have helped anyway since I would have needed more than one game.

So Sevilla pull out one game clear of danger zone. Time to start piling bets on them or?

Getting dire for Valencia, though, unless they score a quick one soon.

So I see most of us got to underestimate Cadiz yesterday, is it time to underestimate Sevilla also? Odds are as usual with them today so it seems like nothing changes regarding general estimation of them but Valencia on the other hand are almost same odds to win as Athletic, so I guess this is where form can influence odds.

Where are your bets on today @casperBGD?

Sevilla won as expected, didn't see this one earlier
regarding Valencia, we officially entered relegation zone, team is on a really low level, and nothing good to be expected against Bilbao, match can go in either direction, but there should not be goals, one as decider, or goalless draw, at least I see it that way, and it started as that, playing in the middle

Now you mentioned we can look forward to Bundesliga and Lige1 included in our forum focus, with the Fanatics League BSFL soon to start! Of course it doesn't mean I will do better but I can do worse in more pools lol

I will personally hunt down people I know active in these leagues but not in BSFL heh heh. And there are plenty (though majority I choose to ignore as I know they're just spam posters there).

And now you even have an added pressure of relegation fight

Something no pool or competition on this forum ever had. Really curious how that one will look, especially in the future if/when we have full 3 leagues with 20 players each. At that point only way to enter will be 3 places in third league and 3 people will be out for season without guarantees they will ever have a space in competition again.

Should be super fun and competitive.

There was 1 very good thing the gambling forum never had that the World Cup contest introduced, which was a sort of interactive H2H contest, based not just on gambling but on skill/knowledge. The "problem" with all gambling contests is always wager amounts, which sometimes I can win, but usually you are never going to win when one whale has 1 BTC to make mistakes with and you have 10x less

And now, I see the other thing introduced is LONG TERM interest. Even with the pools, it's all over after 1 season and everyone starts with blank.

This time, promotion and relegation means you MUST be consistent, so it will attract the most serious players. I agree that the threat of never getting a spot again is very special

There will be a lot of disappointment though I wonder how to handle that lol
