Today, winless Elche vs unbeaten Real Madrid. You just know @buwaytress placed a bet with Elche win @10 odds  Grin  I actually think this is gonna be a tough match for Benzema & Co :/

Congrats! Yeah, you'll get 1 mBTC free bet for wearing yellow cap.
Nice! Totally forgot about the weekly prizes

Well done to you tomahawk!
thanks, man

all draws is nothing strange to La Liga, but I had none last night
I never predict draws, such a boring result.
Fun fact: Out of the top 5 leagues in europe, La Liga is the one with the least number of draws. Source: 30 secs of google search, so i could be wrong lol

2 or 3 times a season would be great, but whoever likes going for draws will be very happy about last night as I got nothing for "being brave".


while Sevilla and Valencia were somehow expected to draw, and Bilbao for the matter, Atletico shitted their match

Valencia missed penalty in overtime, that lasted for 13 minutes, but we did not deserved to win, Sevilla was better, especially in second half

Well done to you tomahawk! I would be happy to get nothing for yellow caps if I can actually get them in any pool. 2 or 3 times a season would be great, but whoever likes going for draws will be very happy about last night as I got nothing for "being brave".

Of course, the moment I will change my picks to draws is when teams will actually start winning.

Sevilla/Valencia, total trap teams, can we please never forget?

This season for me proves again that if something can go wrong, it necessarily will happen. After long thinking, decided to pick Sevilla win and game ended 1:1. Valencia actually were close to win game, but Bonou performed amazing and saved penalty on last minute.
In other game I had Athletic to win and everything looked ok, but offcourse, Getafe had to equalize score.

I think BTTS could hit with a 1-1 draw at FT,  @1.7 odds is good enough for me.

we had a match in our hands, but Sevilla scored to equalize this one, and it is 1:1 minutes to the end

Bilbao is in 1:1 score as well, with Getafe, after early lead
Atletico should end up different, but you never know with Rayo

I am also thinking this match will end 1:1 but I am not playing BTTS on games I expect to have only 2 goals, not enough of a margin for me and it can go wrong very easy. I am playing BTTS on matches where I expect higher scoring draw like 2:2 or maybe when some team is good in attack and terrible in defense (Leicester, Liverpool, Barca) and I know there will be goals.

If I don't bet on this, it will be a 4+ goal thriller, draw maybe or 3-2 or 4-3 win. If I do bet on it, it'll be a 0-0 stalemate with lots of cards. So I'll let you know if/when I bet on it Wink
I've already saved my predictions for this round, but i'm down to following picks today so if you or anyone else wants to share their bets, i'll follow them

with Sevilla that will be certainly different, and I do not expect a lot of goals

Lots of people still without picks, me included  Grin but I like to keep it close so waiting till 5 minutes before first game.

contrary, I like to put picks few days in advance, usually Thursday morning, coffee time, and rarely change later (it is almost always a miss when changed) - and not using mobile app, will probably change more with it

nevertheless, last night was a complete success in pools - three exact scores, two Calcio and one La Liga
however, midweek is always harder to predict

Thougts on Sevilla - Valencia this week? Cracking match, but also a toss up... right? or am i the only one who thinks Sevilla will put a up a fierce fight

~snip

result does not show that, but Valencia is actually playing solid football, and Elche scored two goals from defense
it was better to leave it on 2:1 from halftime and do not attack in second half, but we had it for few more, just to leave them space for counter-attacks

with Sevilla that will be certainly different, and I do not expect a lot of goals
I am not betting on those troll clubs, you can only loose money there  Grin

Make sure to make your picks guys, that Sevilla game is tomorrow in late afternoon and rest of them follow quickly. This is a midweek GW so no time to loose, go make you picks immediately. Lots of people still without picks, me included  Grin but I like to keep it close so waiting till 5 minutes before first game.

Not sure what you mean... I watched first half El Clasico... and then at HT went to see Liverpool City...
Exactly. You were already watching the main event (El Clasico) but you said you were going to watch it and then switch over to the main Sunday event so i was wondering how do you switch from one channel to the same channel lol Grin Wink

Haha! I saw what you did there, sorry I was way too slow to catch on at first. Main event for some people on Sunday was even Grasso v Araujo last night (something I would only know because I follow the Sportsbet UFC discussion from time to time ha!).

I shipped Salah out for, James and Trossard, how typical off me, I'm defo taking a -8 points hit for the next game week, it's in evitable for me  Sad
Unlucky.
I had 6 players from City and Gunners in my main team for this gw, but i kind of fixed it. I'll let you know how i did it in the other thread

Btw, how did you switch to the main Sunday event if you were already watching it from the start?? heh  Grin  Congrats for that massive win today. Salah is back!

Not sure what you mean... I watched first half El Clasico... and then at HT went to see Liverpool City... no matter how exciting any game I'm watching, doubt Liverpool-City game of the last 5 years could be less exciting. Even the Community Shield game was fun!

And thanks! Salah never went away, he just has been moved to centre now haha.

Also agree Barca shouldn't change their way, they're bank on track, just Real needs to be caught up to, and I insist Barca's actually been playing well even when losing (past few games anyway).

But who needs Pique when we have Garcia...
Tbh, you can hardly blame Garcia for this shitshow. Everyone knows he's an average CB so those kind of blunders from him are pretty common. I would blame Xavi for that awful starting XI.
Busquets got exposed against Inter but he starts today? A backline with Balde, Eric and S.Roberto plus Kounde coming out of anjury? Laughable. Subs (fati and alba) came way too late

I have them as BTTS.
EZ money  Smiley

always bet on Barca due to odds, so of course today I also put a single at 3/1, will watch it before switching over to main Sunday event Wink
not EZ money  Huh

I really don't blame Xavi one bit, he's approach to the game wasn't bad, we got unlucky and very exposed at the back, and it's down to the injury list, honestly with the game I'm watching Barcelona play lately, I've not been feeling too bad, but the result just haven't been in our favour, and there are just a very little things to be amended.

After game against Inter I said that I don't want to see Pique playing again. But who needs Pique when we have Garcia... In this El Clasico we didn't had any chance to think about win. After Torres goal there was hope that we can reach draw, what wouldn't be bad result after all, but penalty closed the game.
Until this game we had only 1 goal conceded in 8 rounds, but we haven't faced serious opponents in general until now. Games with Bayern, Inter and Real returns us to reality.

I think I played myself big time today and I lost 6 points for that, I literally had 1-0 win for both Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, but I changed them both to 1-1 draw each just before saving my picks, I couldn't fucked up any worse, knowing fully well that I needed those points, getting just one exact between both games would have at least been somewhat consoling for me, but I'm just likely going to fall down further below in the leaderboard, damn!

Zero points from 5 fixtures so far for me!, and it was like the only chance to reduce the gap that saint-loup currently holds at the top of the table, but that's not even happening for me, but the fact the highest point so far this round is a joint currently 4.5 shows it's a very tough one.
I can relate. This season my performance in La Liga pool is probably worst in all years of participation. In majority games without clear favorite, things must go wrong for me. I'm not changing my picks right before kick-off, but it doesn't helps. This round I have just 3 points so far.
I hope that Betis now and Villarreal tomorrow will fix things a bit for me, at least in betting. Though, it won't improve my position in pool because 90% of pool will back favorites.

I really hope you are wrong, but let us both agree that we should both play loads of exciting energetic football and loads of goals and loads of drama, worthy of El Clasico right? Wink
Fingers crossed it won't be one-sided game like the last one at the Bernabeu. I just want a good show, no drama, no VAR bs, just tons of goals and big chances for both sides and ultimately a big win for Madrid (:

Fun fact: the last four Clasicos finished with Over 2.5 goals, and BTTS was correct in 3 out of 4 of those games. Just some stats for those looking to place some bets today
Just came home from the day in the mountains with my kid and I see Real is already 2:0 up but according to the stats Barca had its chances. Now I need that one Barca goal very much since I have them as BTTS. My default bet for Clasicos except in Mourinho time, he really sucked all the joy out of the derby Smiley

Too bad I am not able to watch second half since I have to work a bit and that leaves only one game screen for me and that game can be only Liverpool - City, have much more ridding on that one.

Cannot agree more with all of you: no VAR bullshit please, drama okay but not to keep interrupting to ruin the game, I watched at least a couple of these every year for the past 3/4 years and always bet on Barca due to odds, so of course today I also put a single at 3/1, will watch it before switching over to main Sunday event Wink

Meanwhile HT score on Celta/Sociedad suits my picks (2-2)... thanks always for Aspas, who forever will wonder what he has to do to represent Spain.

I used to do this a lot a few seasons ago, but i quickly realized that changing picks in the last minute never paid off, that's when i started locking my picks. After a while you kinda forget about locking picks or changing them. You should try that

We all hate Valencia, Sevilla, Atletico. I guess we hate all of them. Shit round for everyone, but why oh why did I go and pick Atletico to lose?

At least i know i will get 3 points tomorrow because Real madrid are going to smash Fc Barcelona  Smiley
