Damn, can't believe it's already semifinals for Supercopa, my brain is somehow still lagging and thinking we are actually less than halfway thru the season.
An expensive victory to savor for sure, but it was always going to be plenty of suspension threats if you visit Atletico so I don't think anyone will be too upset. Dembele saved the day, and we have a tiny breathing space!

I'm not sure I was watching UFC or Atletico - Barcelona. And that wrestling between Savic and Torres in the end 
Well, when you watch Atletico - Barca, you have to expect something similar. And that moment when Atletico played better, but we finally won at Metropolitano. That Araujo save from goal line let us to take 3 points. Now there is fight for 1st trophy this season - Supercopa semifinals midweek.
In general, good weekend for me. Made profit from all 4 La Liga games today and only Roma comeback against Milan ruined my perfect Sunday.

Monaco are ok for me too, they rarely have odds below 15/10 or 2/1 because of their perceived weakness, domestic and EUFA, and as Trofo says they win more than lose, which is great for double winnings.
Never fall for the shit odds on cup game favourites. Copa del rey, league cup, coppa, they are all completely skewed because of bookie margins with obvious heavy bets on favs.
I am one to talk of course, threw away money on Liverpool last night.
Barca has good odds tonight though, it is a very easy bet for me. I know they drew a shocker last time but they should have won that 5-0.

I just hate Valencia, they are on my blacklist but there simply weren't enough games yesterday so I gave them another chance since the stake wasn't that big anyway. Never again, watched second half and that is a team I am not trusting in the near future. They always find a way to screw my tickets. There is couple of clubs like that out there and I must admit I am much happier when I skip their games, both when betting or choosing what to watch.
Just so damn useless that team but wait, didn't we agree all of us that Valencia and Sevilla long ago entered our blacklist? I also made the same mistake early in the season, making both teams in my bets.
Yesterday also made terrible terrible picks in French cup games to mix with my Spanish games and almost everything went from worse to even worse. Monaco. Never trust them also.

I just hate Valencia
I have two rules regarding clubs that I eventually support, and in Valencia case it is as:
1. rule no.1 never bet on Valencia
2. if you want to bet on Valencia, revisit rule no.1
joking aside, feel bad for your parlay, Valencia season was started as light grey, and now slide to border between dark grey and black

I'm only one in our pool who decided to go against Real win today. But I wasn't so optimistic about Villarreal and didn't expected that they can win against Real. But later games had good outcomes for me. Late goals of Mallorca and Girona saved my predictions.
Big game between Atletico and Barcelona on Sunday. Your thoughts about it?
Man, I miss @tomahawk9 and his banters in this thread... I hope that he is ok, but I'm worried for him after how he strangely disappeared in the middle of World Cup without any sign.

Don't know how I missed Valencia game in betting, but that's good thing for me, it saved me some money. Well, loss against Cadiz is the most classic way to describe current state of Valencia in few recent years. https://i.imgur.com/Js2E2bt.png

Oh man, really sad to lose a bet in that manner.
For me i always say this Valencia its a shit for betting i dont know how they always manage to destroy my bets. No matter if i bet againts or in favour of them.
Really interesting your mix for bet diferents markets and sports.

Valencia lost against Cadiz, it is a new low, we were a bit better squad, Cavani had to sweat for 90 minutes, but Cadiz early goal resolved everything from the beginning

I was also thinking that Valencia would defeat Cadiz home. However things didn't go the expected way. Valencia are showing a terrible performance this year already. By the way, Real Madrid's losing to Villarreal can be counted as a surprise. However it has been a bigger surprise for me to see that there was nobody going for the home team win in the pool including me.

yeah, it is now up to Barca to win

Wow I did not even realize Real Madrid would be over 2x today. Yes it is Villareal and yes it is an away game but nobody will bet on the home team at such low odds except for their own fans.
I was put to shame on Barca recently, so I am putting down some bigger bet than usual on the team I would love to lose. Lets see how we go this time!
Villarreal is a good team and I don't think Real will have it easy today. I was contemplating between draw and Real win and decided to back Real for now, but maybe I will change it again later.I was put to shame on Barca recently, so I am putting down some bigger bet than usual on the team I would love to lose.

Much easier to place a bet on this one, both to score should be good play and odds are ok.
Both teams to score came under the oddest of circumstances, and in quick succession to but after Benzema drawing level for Real Madrid from the spot, I thought it was going to be on Real Madrid's huge come back stories, but I guess it wasn't meant to be after all, but it was well deserved because they indeed created enough chances to have merited their victory.
It is such an advantage for Barcelona, because now they can afford to play draw against Atletico Madrid, since the matchup was supposed to be an advantage for Real Madrid before the game week.

Gotta hand it to myself.
Still could not manage to reach home on time (RIP my weekend) to properly look at bets, but used Telegram on another phone and managed to sneak in a live bet on Real... and then of course they let in a goal right after HT. Benzema penalty this time couldn't spark their comeback and they lost -- probably deservedly.
Barcelona given a lifeline once more, back to you, Xavi.

No problem to lose on your favourite team, can't always be winning by betting on your team right?
I say this with a lot of irony of course, Liverpool's been kind to me in my betting years, so the past season or so has been hard to take, but as long as the City and Real and Bayern losses keep happening, I can still strangely end up my season in profit.
Value pick of the day is Real, over 22/10 is excellent doubler opportunity. Only watched them over a week ago and while they needed a penalty to get ahead in last 10 mins, they were still a way better team with no panic setting in. Villareal, though? Can't trust them.

Barca up and dominating, should be happy but can only relax if we score another maybe!
Heh man, self prophecy is a terrible thing. I see Jordi managed to get himself sent off too. Seems like all I need to do to see red cards is tune in to last 20 minutes of La Liga and see them do their best to get their marching orders. I get red cards, but earning them for complaining and whining and gesturing is something I really don't get.
Anyway. Tough luck...
Tell me all about it man. This was my final bet of the year before I went into a long long week of working shift! Well, bit freebet hit I mean, and it was so disappointing that it was my own team that let me down.
As Trofo mentioned, this was a strange ref and we should have expected it anyway.
We also almost lost in Copa too lol

That league really does need a proper review of refereeing though!

this season, they need more quality overall, we are back to Real/Barca race without any other competitor in sight
and that will be seen during weekend, when both have quality opponents, and away matches, cannot be much harder than away match against Villareal and Atletico, but I clearly doubt much users will opt even for draw in both cases, straight wins for Barca and Real
January 03, 2023, 11:25:41 AM
That was indeed a good week and gained some very needed points to attack the top places. What a game in Barcelona! Where was that Mateu Lahoz on Iran - USA game where I had a bet on the yellow cards 
Happy new year guys, all the best in 2023!!!

Nice yellow caps, agreed. Not a bad return for 1 matchweek, problem for me was to not foresee the draws. Now we get a Copa event, wondering how Real will approach that. Looks the easiest opponent on paper.
About Lahoz, yup, can blame the ref all you want (I don't disagree he's crap in management) but Barca's fault for not winning earlier. Real almost had a similar situation but they had Benzema to knock in the pen in the end and cap off a great move from Camavinga, so moot point. That league really does need a proper review of refereeing though!
