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.

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.

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.
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.

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 Smiley 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 Smiley

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

you probably missed difference bu Al Hilal is yet to play Madrid, and last night Al Ahly lost to Real
I am not following much, but saw memes about Ronaldo crying for not joining Al Hilal instead of Al Nassr, since they got two penalties against Flamengo, and knock them out on that (didn't watch, so not sure were does penalties realistic or not)

another one against Bilbao for Valencia, not sure where it is going to go, but we could end up in relegation zone after this round

That I did! Embarrassing for me heh, I swore I read the names right, but I can blame my lack of attention to the fact I'd just looked quickly after finding out the Flamengo loss, assuming straightaway the winner went to meet Real in the finals.

*insert SHAME gif here*

Valencia? They only get my money on odds above 8/1 now.

yeah, now starts the machine, weekend, mid-week for CL and EL, you have to put picks early, or forget in the end
Bundesliga is far more critical for me to forget, since it is not on Superbru

but overall, Rayo win was expected, we are again down, new coach proves that isn't worth anything, Real lose is expected, but against Girona we should done better - one point from six matches after WC, one point above relegation zone

I was a little bit joking when I spoke about Elche chances against the defending champions but now I know they were actually playing also in the CWC, and seems like of course will go all the way to the final, who knows, the extra tiredness might get Elche in an even better position?

All my picks in early too. Going to be really busy and I might forget. Some tight fixtures so I actually went for draw but only on the Friday opener.

Also, not really related but it completely flew over me that Club World Cup is playing and Al Hilal just knocked out Flamengo (wow)... first final for the Asian Champs (poor Ronaldo isn't even there) and their prize is Real Madrid tonight. Didn't even know until I saw the news. Happily put one against Real but only for winner results (suspect a draw to pens is happening).

Next round in 3 days, I'm going to enter all picks early and forget about it, most interesting is Real - Elche, can Elche take advantage of the champion's troubles?

Back to La Liga, backing Rayo to win tonight.

I wasn't sure about it but should have taken it. Easy win in the end and even got a nice exact score for that. So did all the important people plus close scores so it doesn't change anything of course hmmm!!

You shared the yellow cap also, so congrats for that. Superbru is broken, can't see leaderboard and it shows me in 4th place, as I remember I'm doing badly in this one so it can't be trusted lol

Hey! Hello! What about your thread? I haven't seen the updates for a long time, but judging by how the leaders are falling, it's you who should count the money  Wink

On the one hand, it seems that Real have already lost La Liga, on the other hand, the statistics are encouraging. We need to see the results of the second head-to-head meeting and see how Barcelona will cope with the downturn.

Appreciate the shout out as always, but I've been having real problems managing time this season. I still place bets, and still generally find room to bet against the big boys, but now almost always blindly looking at odds, and no time to compare, so I'm sticking to 2 books I can easily bet from mobile. So I no longer am as confident I'm posting value bets.

Hoping for real life to tone down this year but it's not exactly a clear path atm. Majority of my posts now are from mobile or on the move, or late at night when I'm too tired to look at odds!

Oh and yeah, I'm probably still in profit from upsets, but I'm losing much more than usual on "regular" betting (accas especially), not sure why... ragebetting because of Liverpool maybe?

If anyone knows a special for Barca treble... ping me a link?

Typical game of Barcelona, it's completely one-sided, but again they struggle to make something dangerous. But as Xavi said, at this time of season with intensive calendar getting 3 points is most important thing, rather than trying to score as many goals possible. So, we can expect another game with 1:0 score, but so far in 2nd half Barca struggle.
Well that was such a relief. I know Sevilla are always going to be tough so to see us get 3 goals plus keep a clean sheet is a big improvement, but of course I understand that we should expect more close games, this time it seemed we were not only able to hold out but sustain pressure to get 3 second half goals!

Anyway guys I have some good news. Some of you were involved in World Cup competition Sporsbet sponsored so you know what to expect and I am happy to inform that we have agreed to lunch its big brother. All the details coming over the weekend. Be sure to join, places will be limited and this one will be big Smiley
That's great to hear, I definitely will join it. Please post message here when you will start, I don't want to miss Cheesy.

And one day finally Elche win in LaLiga, and was a really good win against Villarreal, but the sad part its when you look the table and see them so far from the next team to catch up.

Well trofo so we are gonna wait for this news, i hope i can do better this time, but as always you need a bit of luck to progress like always.
Elche win had to happen sooner or later, but it wasn't easy to expect that they will do it against Villarreal. But it was deserved.
Probably worst round in betting for me. Backed Villarreal, Betis and Real Sociedad. BTW, wtf Betis 3:4 Celta, that's crazy.
I don't even talk about Real loss, but my money wasn't there and it's great result for Barca. Atletico draw with Getafe probably is least surprising thing last round.

Few things in football are worse than making all the attacks, getting so many players carded and potentially injured, missing a penalty, and still losing the game... to an own goal.

Wasted my time watching Forest-Leeds, so frustrating, should have gone for this game instead, but you know, who normally wants to watch Mallorca right?

Slam you must be counting your money tonight?
