Meh.
If there is anyone who would like to make a side bet with me about the topics below then they can quote the post:

-- I think I will finish the pool ahead of you.
-- I think Liverpool will finish the league ahead of Arsenal.
-- I think Tottenham will finish the league ahead of Brighton.
-- I think Chelsea will finish the league ahead of Newcastle.

I'd take you up on all of them except the Spurs one. How much?

I'm very excited that the Premier League is going to start. I have really missed to watch quality football. I hope Liverpool can reach a position that they can challenge for the championship again this season.It made me sad to see we are less in number compared to last season. When I look at the activity on gambling board frankly I think that at least 100 people must be in this pool.

It looks like this year many people are not interested in spending money. I joined two more pools [first time except PL and CL] and they are struggling even to have 20 members. Hopefully we will have at least 40 and above members. Only few days left for the first kick off.

yeah, seems that interest for EPL pool is lower this season, if I do remember it correctly, we had almost 60 participants last season

for other two pools, 20 members was the most these seasons, so I would not expect much more this season

back to topic, can't wait for Friday, and EPL start, City is having Burnley on their menu, always tough to beat, but ends up as win

You wanted to make the money from gambling before paying for the entry fees, was this the idea? LOL

Yeah,what is wrong with that  Grin.

I will pay tonight most likely or tomorrow morning at last because I have tried my luck harder in gambling these days but I have a super parlay to try for tonight Champions League games and mostly it won't come out but I am obsessed that this will be a win and the trio is for your information I am just leaving this ticketing bomb here so you can copy it if you want,I have Kopenhagen,PSV and Rakow to win their games at an odd of well over 5,don't play it though,I have a bad habit of losing constantly in every single gambling session I make.

If you noticed last season, numerous players dropped/lost interest before the season's end and stopped making predictions, I'm guessing those types won't be back this season.

We might get to 30+. I'm guessing the MOD has yet to update the list because I don't see my name there. I paid all of my pool fees yesterday, and I'm playing PFL fantasy and two other pools this season. Isn't it too early to join up for CL? I'm also playing.

I will also make sure I don't lose any money in slot machines again,first I will withdraw the 0.0026 needed to pay the 0.0025 Bitcoin in here for the pool and whatever remains I am playing with really high IDR bets trying to recover this sum sent here  Grin.

I'm not sure a 3-4 loss to Bayern is better than a 1-1 draw to Dortmund  Grin In any case, all odds are much higher than 2, so it will be difficult to choose an outcome. It might make sense to put a "neutral" pick 2-1 in favor of Liverpool (neutral because the majority in the pool would pick that outcome), but there's still time to think.

I don't think Chelsea will lose the game though against Liverpool as they are playing at home right now in the first game and I am sure the fans are expecting to see the "hand" of Pochettino as what he has changed for the better in the team.Liverpool on the other hand has been doing great in pre season games which do not mean anything,they are just to test the players and different setup of game plays for the teams,they are more for the coaches to see what needs to be improved as a last touch before officially starting the season so for me the most likely result is either 0-0 or 1-1 draw in this game.

If we have to choose between draws, then we should bet on 1-1 or 2-2, considering how many goals Liverpool score and concede. On the other hand, Chelsea had huge performance problems last season and it is unlikely that they could completely solve them (+ Liverpool are still a strong team), based on this, one should choose 0-0 or 1-1.
It looks like we don't have any choice and we have to choose the bookmakers favorite score 1-1  Grin

I think Liverpool will be extremely consistent this year based on what I have seen on the pre season friendly games.

I hope we won't keep that level of consistency, we were really consistent in conceding a lot of goals Grin
10 goals in 4 games is really a lot - and although we scored 15 in the same period I do hope some more balance will be achieved before the start of the season. That's 6 goals on average per game.

We really need a holding midfielder - we're attractive to watch but that's not how you get good results in the season.

I think that anything can happen except Tottenham staying in 4th spot,let's not forget Newcastle who has built on what they achieved last year and is again a strong contender to be in those top 4 places.Tottenham is well known for their high volatility and instability,they lack consistency and when you lack this in the Premier League you cannot expect to be in the top 4 when we have much better teams in consistency of results and that who do not lose to real underdogs when playing at home,Tottenham made a lot of surprise results last year and based on that I doubt they can be top 4 even if Kane remains.

I agree that consistency is vital - I just think that with the amount of changes both Liverpool and Chelsea have made that their consistency level will be low - we saw it already happening to both teams last season.
Tottenham did not change much, they brought in Maddison and Porro and on paper they do look like a team that belongs in the fight for Top 4.

I do like Newcastle, I just feel that they are not yet ready to play on 2 fronts and that the CL participation will take a lot from them in the league. I do not see them retaining their position there this year.

I think Liverpool will be extremely consistent this year based on what I have seen on the pre season friendly games.Also I think Chelsea has improved a lot compared to last season and this time I also think the management hit it right with Pochettino as a coach so I see them not being very inconsistent and fighting to get a spot in European competitions much different from last season.

Tottenham no matter what players they get they still are a team that are not well harmonized and this has been their "Achilles heel" in many of the last seasons failing to get results in a consistent way.Newcastle I think will be able to fight in two fronts as I don't think they will throw away their league fight for the Champions League.

To be honest, with the amount of changes we made to our team, I'd settle for 3rd.

City is logically the favorite once again, I do like Arsenal at 6 odds - they were really good for the majority of last season and have improved their team with quality additions.
United spent a lot yet again but I feel that their money is not well spent and Chelsea changed too much once again.

To be honest, I think Spurs can reach the top 4 if Kane stays - their team looks as good as Liverpool's and Chelsea's.

Arsenal defeated City through penalties, and I hope they continue performing well throughout the upcoming season, aiming to top the league table and even win the title. Arteta must deliver his best this season, chasing the top teams and rectifying the mistakes that cost them the title last season when they were leading for a long period.

I'm glad that City lost, but I expect the main result in a different - maybe this game will somehow affect the bookmakers' assessment and the odds for the next title for City will increase. As I wrote, the current odds seem like easy money to me, but if these odds become even more profitable, then I will not be able to resist and make a bet.
City is a different team in premier league however they struggles early of the season but as the season progress they become stronger. At least from last few season's start will prove this point. Just look at the odd they have in outright market. I hate it LOL

At the moment, bookmakers see contenders for the title like this:

Manchester City 1.73

Arsenal 6.00

Liverpool 9.00

Manchester United 12.00

Chelsea 13.00

Newcastle United 15.00

Tottenham Hotspur 41.00
Newcastle were good in the last season until they lost their way at the end of the season. Hope Liverpool do better than what predicted.

As you can see, there is no clear favorite here, and if Chelsea suddenly starts the season with a win, it will not be a surprise.

Well I will be surprise if they can win against Liverpool on the 1st game though. Liverpool is pretty decent on the pre season games

I'm not sure a 3-4 loss to Bayern is better than a 1-1 draw to Dortmund  Grin In any case, all odds are much higher than 2, so it will be difficult to choose an outcome. It might make sense to put a "neutral" pick 2-1 in favor of Liverpool (neutral because the majority in the pool would pick that outcome), but there's still time to think.

Holy heck, so every other teams literally means nothing for the bookmakers huh that they decided to give all these silly odds. Kinda understandable because City is just on a whole different level. What really surprises me is that Newcastle has higher odds compared to Chelsea despite finishing top 4 last season while Chelsea was 12th

I said it in another thread, a really bad game to see, nothing much to say, Arsenal were plenty of luck in that draw in the last minute of the game.

Great goal by Palmer by the way.

Well now we are in the way to the start of Premier League, lets start to make your picks on SUperbru.

This is a great start from Arsenal,the fact that City has not been able to win against Arsenal in the regular time shows that Arsenal has improved a huge chunk compared to the last season where City won every game they played at home against Arsenal.

I think this time Arteta if wants to win the league should start taking seriously every single game even against last team in the standings as we saw what happened last time with Southampton where they were losing 1-3 at home and only managed to get a 3-3 draw as a result,despite doing so they need to improve themselves like they did tonight when playing against strong teams.
