Will we see the Valencia finally recovering his form, after years of strugglin?

let's not overreact Valencia form, it is basically shitty since corona started (that match with Atalanta, after which whole Bergamo was closed under covid started our decline)

and yeah, it was two and a half grimmy seasons, but this one can be better, hopefully, having an easy start against Girona

Uf another season with Sevilla making full of hope at the people, to after arrive to the winter break and fall like no other.

What team do you think can be the "cenicienta" or "Cinderella" of this season?.

and there is three matches per day, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, is that a new scheme for whole season, or just this round?
get ready to see a strange calendar in la liga (and other leagues too), you can thank the World Cup in november for that (:

La liga starts tomorow with Sevilla game, so make sure you have made your picks.
what do they have in store for us this season? You look at their team sheet and you think "they're title contenders and they're gonna start the new campaign with a comfortable win, i'm sure of it!", but then they remind you how shit they are by losing 6-0 in a friendly game just a week ago... I'll back Sevilla in the pool, but I can’t help thinking they could shit the bed right from the get go  Roll Eyes

not sure why there is more participants in La Liga than Serie A, it should be closer, or same number, but what a heck, there are people that simply do not like catenaccio style
Catenaccio? Who is playing it Serie A now? In last decade such style basically disappeated from this league. I'm lazy to look for previous season stats, but in recent seasons average number of goals in Serie A was way above 2.5 and even close to 3. But people still have old stereotypes about catenaccio and avoid this league because of it.
That is the best thing about Serie A, everybody, including bookmakers are seing them as low scoring league and odds on goals and both to score are much better than in other top leagues. I have been profiting from that these last couple of seasons.

Enough about Serie A, we have another topic for that after all. La liga starts tomorow with Sevilla game, so make sure you have made your picks.

Yes i agree catenaccio dispear like five years ago, the Serie A now spin without any center, we can see 0-0 like 7-2, i remember seeing Serie A when i was a child and it was totally diferent.
They never recover after Ac Milan and Inter falls, before italian teams were very strong in europe but now they are very weak. Even the Juventus cant win any UCL.

I don't have access to my escrow wallet for another week so I am not able to check if somebody maybe paid and forgot to send me pm. That happened once in all the years I am running the pools so I hope everything is fine.


not counting, but it does seem that you have all summer long vacation Smiley
nevertheless, enjoy it

hopefully, Valencia will have better season, it is hard to put first round picks based on friendly matches, but we have to start somewhere

There is only 14 of us in Serie A pool so far which is biggest discrepancy ever between my 2 pools. We always were about same number.

Maybe because of last season people are avoiding Serie A because the results are very random there and they don't want to play the lottery? In any case, I personally feel comfortable - after the Premier League pool, where there are so many competitors, it will be cosy in the Serie A pool  Cheesy

Well thanks for the responses, well i will send some PM to people in the local forum, but i dont know if they want to play.
We have people here in the forum who only play casinos or dice , and they dont play sports betting or this kind of pool, hopely we can catch someone.

Buwaytress, ok i was hoping you have some app to use in the cellphone, but yes its really hard to do zoom and click, etc.
Tapaltak doesnt work in this forum no?

Hey trofo, how many we are now?. Last two days to join.
I cant believe why people dont come to play this pools more often, because we are talking about the main leagues so maybe you dont follow all the matches but you clearly see the league.
There is 18 of us in the pool on Superbru so far. As I said, this year I am counting on you guys to send me pm after sending tx and then joining after I send you the link. I don't have access to my escrow wallet for another week so I am not able to check if somebody maybe paid and forgot to send me pm. That happened once in all the years I am running the pools so I hope everything is fine.

Tried to put picks in but going to have to wait for tomorrow, today's window of opportunity for me came and went a lot quicker than expected heh.

Some cup games happening if I'm not mistaken (or maybe Italian). It's a blur now!

Yes after a long long wait we are close to be finally back.

Lets see if this year the Liga were more competitive in the top spots, i talk of the title contenders, the last season Real Madrid was clearly ahead in the middle of the season.

Sorry for the OT, but buwaytress, you say you write from your phone, do you use a specific program or from web? Because i like to use from the celphone but i dont like the old interface of explorer and forum.

Nope, just use the phone browser and zoom in and type with fingers by tapping on screen keyboard. I know. It sucks and takes me a long time, especially if trying to delete stuff or quote and use code etc. But at this point, after doing it for years, it's actually something I just do as an afterthought now. Doesn't need a great connection, slow and easy, and boringly old school.

It's really a mystery to me too... have even posted the link several times across different chats. I mean, I know we all know many of the users in gambling aren't gamblers, but surely we should be getting new blood at least from the La Liga posters! I'd work a bit harder if I actually had the time and can properly message on forum but yeah it's almost too late now. We might have to think about how things are done for future seasons, maybe "widen" the circle of users we know and even mark them as real/not real haha.

@Trofo, I think you said that we are going to have new competition, replacing free bet challenge.
Yeah we will have a competition like free bet challenge, probably a bit more complex since it will not be going every week. It will be organized for merchandise and I am waiting to hear from Sportsbet.io after they receive packages for the season. There will be at least one such challenge and maybe a few more, but that part is not yet 100% defined, it relies a lot on available merchandise. Look at it as bonus rewards, while free bet challenge is actually replaced by free bet for yellow cap every week. Went this way since we already have a lot of pools on the forum this season and some of the regulars could find it a bit tedious to enter into all that.


Free bets for paying pool fees will be going out between GW1 and GW2, that way we will dish them all in one go, and I will be back from holiday so it is easier for me to properly track all the entries.

Finally start of new season is just after few days. Barca don't have much time to somehow register new players if they want to have best squad for 1st round.

In first few rounds they always move more games to evening time because daytime is too hot to play, especially in Southern regions. Later they will return to usual schedule.

it is getting closer, day by day, new La Liga season
Osasuna and Sevilla are opening the season, to have Sevilla rug from first round - is there a rule for Sevilla and Arsenal to play openers?

and there is three matches per day, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, is that a new scheme for whole season, or just this round?
Real playing new comers Almeria, other newcomer is coming to Mestalla - Girona, and Barca will probably destroy Rayo in first round

put your picks

Also on holiday and typing from phone while I can get snatches of data here and there, but really annoying to do, and my eyes see badly in the sun haha. I choose to support Sevilla this season, so I also expect to be fully disappointed (again). Bet every game against Real and Barca, if odds are above  5/1 I have a feeling this is profitable.

@darxiaomi
And I fully expect everyone to play all the pools, so when I win my share is bigger Wink

Really not ok, we all have to do better Smiley My excuse is that I am on holiday, what's your guys?

Even on holiday I am working on sponsorship details so we have it as follows:
*0.5 mBTC free bet for all participants paid when the league starts and we have final number of participants
*1 mBTC for each week yellow cap winner

This year we will not have free bet challenge. Instead we will have at least one and probably more competitions with merchandise as rewards and we will award yellow cap as mentioned above.
I'm on holiday too. Over last few days I was in other country with limited data, so I missed lot of stuff and now have big backlog of information:

Now I'm back to my country and still have week of vacation remaining. As someone who often forgot to leave predictions for free bet challenge, I'm fine with changes. And waiting for details about new competition.
