Glad Barca took their wins. 2 goals from Auba proves he's in rediscovery, sure hope Araujo gets well, he'll have to sit out the rest of the season in this case (that's also a rule in La Liga with head injuries and concussions right?). Been lucky my life in football never to get that kind of injury. There was once I probably almost lost consciousness after heads came together, and some nausea for the whole day but that's probably one of the scariest ways to get hurt playing footie.

New challenge is up, use them while we still have them 
Leagues are coming to a close and I feel a bit bad that we did not dish out the rewards few weeks earlier. As it stands it does not look as good as it could have.
Since all La Liga games are at the same time, there was only one choice. Atletico Madrid vs.chokers Sevilla. Have a feeling this will be a bad game to watch

Thanks for this Trofo bud! I seem to be doing well in winning freebets, not so well in making them winning bets lol
And I guess you're talking about BTC price? Yes, not that I am in any winning position here... but I just saw, for a strange world, that after last night I am #1 on EPL pool.
I think it's the first time on 1st on any pool of all these seasons, and totally random picks for most of the games since I know less than half of the English teams.
I went for Sevilla win because chokers only win to annoy others.

That moment when Araujo head collided with Gavi and later fall unconscious was scary. Yoiu understand that it's serious thing after you see how players of both teams reacted to it. Whole stadium become silent. But it's good to read from latest reports that he is conscious now:

Now Barca almost secured 2nd place. In general, it doesn't matters much, but it will let Barca to participate in Supercopa next season.

result will put your opinion in one direction, but Valencia was not that bad tonight, 0:3 against Betis is probably a signal that season is over
Granada is up against Bilbao, close to avoid relegation, Maximiano is good, clean sheet would mean a lot in this round on Sorare, since I lack other players
one more tonight, Barcelona against Celta, should be goals?

That multi insurance offered by sporsbet has made me a master of alternative markets I have to find odds over 1.5 without using asian handicaps. That includes main under/over market since it is asian but I can use team goals markets or both to score. Also I often find myself with the idea that I want to place some sort of the bet on small underdog.
Sevilla was 3.7 or something like that yesterday and I expected them to win since Villareal had though game during the week, but also wanted to add a bit more security since it is an x5 multibet in the end. That left me basically with Sevilla x2 or Sevilla to score and I judged the second one as safer option. You can hope for that one until last minute no matter what the result is and tired Villareal should have problems as the game comes to its end.

I'm absolutely guilty of hunting around when I need that one final leg to complete my 5-leg acca for that free insurance heh so yeah totally get what you mean. 1x2 in first half is probably one of my favourites when it comes to 1st-half scoring teams like Liverpool (easily 1.15 can get to 1.5 if you take that market), but sometimes you get the same cracker 1.5s for over 0.5 goals in first half.
Not that I've really been hitting them, always seem to screw up with one of the favs.
Today's special has under 2.5s so if I know specials well, they're expecting over.

Sevilla? Oh yeah, those chokers.
This guy Fati's been my talisman every time. If he plays, Barca's a good bet. He just is. Stretching all the way back to the unlikely winner that I'll always remember in 2019 to clinch me my 23rd goal for the Sportsbet contest that brought me to Qatar haha. Yeah I'm never gonna tire of this.
I just hope he banishes his injury issues the way Dembele seems to have done. 1 year injury, then 3 months? And then another 2 months? That's such a catastrophe for a young player but?
6 goals from 9 shot, from 486 minutes, all right after coming back from injury. That's not bad at all.
Definitely one of those trigger moments that brings you back to the past (my favorite moment is still Fati back on scoresheet),

I definitely see him as a mainstay and was worried for a long time he won't get an extension because of injuries but now we have him for 5 years and can see Xavi found a way to bring Dembele into a long streak of playing. I kept getting a lot of people saying against me when I supported Dembele but see now maybe his future is at Barca after all
Xavi is so good to bring all our young players strong together so I have a lot more hope now than before.Gavi, Dembele, Fati, Pedri, Araujo. WOW

I had Sevilla to score @1.5 on my ticket yesterday
you found some good value, eh? Sevilla might be shit, but a top 4 team to score @ those odds is a lock. Hmm, I should spend more time evaluating alternative markets 🤔 I have to find odds over 1.5 without using asian handicaps.

my hopes for a top 5 spot in the pool are nonexistent after this round, time throw in the towel and say farewell to the pool this week

huh, i just realized Ansu Fati has been playing for Barca for almost 3 years now,, for some reason i thought he made his first team debut last season right before Messi's departure May 09, 2022, 04:52:08 AM

Sevilla did not win at Villareal, but that was pretty clear from the start, and Barca will end-up second
I don't understand why Sevilla refuses to play football. I had Sevilla to score @1.5 on my ticket yesterday and they did not have a single shot on target or dangerous attack before they conceded the goal. Then after they were 1:0 down they played great last 10 minutes and created a couple of good chances and of course scored. Loosing mentality if I ever saw one. I was sure Barca will finish above them as soon as Barca found their stride even though Sevilla still had maybe 7 points lead at that point. 
May 08, 2022, 02:51:14 PM
Ahhhh man i was going to cut a little the gap between me and the leaders, but Espanyol 1 Osasuna 1 destroy me.
In the last ball Avila shot and impact in the crossbar. If that b all go in i can maybe cut the gap not because i put the correct score but yes to denied the leaders sum 3 points.
But GG for me.

we have one more match tonight, Madrid city derby, not sure where this can go, but odds on Real to win @4 are amazing
looking at line-ups, Real is not putting much effort into this one, but Benzema can go in at 75 minute, and change everything

Damn, what a game. I think that only Alba can score such goals. And what a connection between him and Alves, like in best Barca times. Draw probably would reflect this game best, but football isn't always fair. I already didn't beleived that my bets on Barca win and over 2.5 will pass.
@tomahawk9, I tend to agree with Trofo that City had to go through and game at Etihad wasn't 50/50. But City can blame themselves for choking in such way. And as said above, Champions league is definitely Real playground.

Definitely one of those trigger moments that brings you back to the past (my favorite moment is still Fati back on scoresheet), but also I hope it doesn't tempt Xavi to revert back or lean on them even more. I won my Barca leg, thankfully, but all other legs I picked went to the toilet pick and choose from Juventus, Chelsea, United and Sociedad so I take 100% blame for it all.

I actually believe that 4:0 hammering by Barca is a realistic result and that most of those other turnarounds should have ended with result like this.
yeah we got our asses kicked by Xavi that day, but that game was the outlier of the season for both Barcelona and Madrid (although, losing to Sheriff was really something).If we talk about overpeforming, then Barcelona's 4:0 totally enters the top 3 this season. Madrid dominated Chelsea in the first leg and had a close game in the second leg, we had an awful game at Paris but then we crushed PSG at the Bernabeu, we had a 50/50 game at the Etihad, then got outplayed by City at home but we still managed to comeback. Honestly, 44+ goal difference in the league and champions with a 15-point gap lead, Benz and Vini are at the top in both goals and assists, Madrid's 5th CL final in 9 years, can hardly call it overperforming, it's the bookies that keep underestimating us and everyone believes the thirteen-time european champions is the underdog
bookies are making bank thx to madrid, well played bookies, well played lolAnyhow, went for a draw in Betis v Barcelona. I didn't put this game in any of my parlays/bets but i believe there's good value in BTTS and Over 2.5 as this was correct in six out of the last seven head-to-head, and in those 6 games the over 4.5 goals was correct... We could see a high supply of goals today 🧐
I agree both to score is the way to go in Barca game, should be quite a few goals in this one.

Well there are 4 dates left and everything is still open in this League, obviously taking out the champion.
Let's see how Villarreal focus on the tournament again as they need to enter Europe again after their magical participation in this year's Champions League.
Vilarreal current position now on 7th rank and they must struggle to up rank this position till end of competition so they could participate in Europe league next cycle. with 2 win 2 lose and 1 draw in their 5 last match, its risky enough because points differences with other club was so thin. team must focus on remaining matches and have to win to get their position to europe league.

I actually believe that 4:0 hammering by Barca is a realistic result and that most of those other turnarounds should have ended with result like this. I watched a lot of Real this season and they are playing like shit vast majority of the game and then they salvage it all in the last 10 minutes. Usually their opponent also misses a couple of sitters and that leaves them in touching distance. I don't know if it is luck, belief or something else but obviously it is working for them.
It was wonderful to get such big odds against Real in that match, and more weird, it was the worst odds in Clasico we have had I can ever remember. And we finally won and won big.
I have to say Trofo is right, stats wise also Real in Europe this season is the biggest overperformers, as in getting goals and points far more than they should.
They used up a lot of luck for sure, and it was supposed to finish in semis, but the Italian boss has sold his soul to the devil
Yeah, I think I recall putting Barca for a win with 1.5 handicap, thought it would be just enough but Real really have been playing poor.
In fact, among the "giants" of their respective leagues, Juventus, Real/Barca, Bayern have all been shocking in almost every game I've watched at least for the first half season. Barca really improved post Xavi and Real, Bayern also had their bright spots but in general, you switch on and watch and you're wondering how on earth these teams cost a lot of money put together.
The overperforming stats thing is also something I believe in somewhat, but Liverpool have now entered 5th season overperforming, (even last season with our lowest expected goals ratio under Klopp, and lowest expected points, we still managed to outperform). I used to fear the season when we "return to the mean" but with the squad getting stronger than ever, I think our "expected" stats rise, so it's okay to underperform a little.
May 07, 2022, 03:15:36 AM
I also look forward to Monday when Atletico will not give Real the guard of honor lol
Damn, you confused with Monday, but then I realized that in your time zone it will be Monday, while in Europe it still will be Sunday .Lol yes, we unlucky beings living 7 hours ahead of our favorite football games. The worst is the ones that play at "9pm" because it's 4am for us, so either you try to stay up, or wake up early, but for me I'm usually working at that time or finish work just before that, or start work 6am, so it's like God just wants to punish me for liking football.
And mostly, they always play the best games at this time lol
Ancelotti himself didn't seem too perturbed by the result actually. Funny that that was one of the last matches against a "big team" where they were the favourites and they got hammered pretty badly.
I definitely think the derby should be at least interesting to watch, and best thing is EPL's last game ends before that. Simeone's defence of the title was utterly humiliating this season, they may just want to take it out on Real.
