Lots of brown envelopes passed under the table from Qatar to FIFA officials to make it happen I think. I’m not keen either, human rights, equality, homophobia problems in Qatar, I don’t agree with it at all. Reports of slave type labour building the stadiums & infrastructure required for such an event too.

Yeah, which I'll be honest I haven't looked into it in great detail, which is kind of shaming to even admit that, but I don't think the data is readily available? I'm not even sure how one would go about that. However, I'm all for boycotting it, Fifa in general has been absolutely awful in the past, and obviously those deaths did happen building the stadiums, I just don't know the exact circumstances which led to it.

I do like the world cup, I've had fond memories of it in the past ignoring the politics around it. However, having it in the middle of a season, is just going to derail something I care about a whole lot more than the world cup. Maybe, I'm slightly bias as Wales have never really been in for a chance of getting anywhere meaningful, but I think a lot of people prefer club football over the World Cup.

I bloody forgot about the World cup being in November this year. Not a massive fan of that honestly, much prefer it in the summers. That's probably going to influence things a lot, especially with injuries as I do believe the games are somewhat close together usually, right?

I'm not disagreeing with anyone by the way, I know the winter months are a little tough to predict, I've just historically been better at it when it comes to betting, and the only thing I can put that down to is having a little more reliable information on the teams. World cup changes that for me though, teams will have to gel again going into that winter period.

I much prefer summer World Cups, in more Westernised places top.

I might have to take my predictions off that I've pre programmed in, due to that fact otherwise I'll just forget.

See, I always have more success after the winter since a lot of the teams have picked up on form by then, and it becomes a little more predictable for me. At the moment, the form of various different teams is so inconsistent I'm actually struggling to make the predictions. I'm hovering around that 40 mark, so I'm not doing awful, but I seriously need to pick up points in the next few weeks if I want to find myself in the top 10 by the end of the season, which is looking rather doubtful at the moment. It's a shame because I've actually nailed a couple of the scores, it's just teams like Liverpool, and Chelsea that are absolutely crippling my points.

I've nearly predicted as many exact scores as results Cheesy

. That's kind of embarrassing.

Well yeah, def more info by then. I'm just saying there tends to be a small window when the matches start getting a little bit unpredictable. And for me that's around December, specifically the Boxing Day fixtures. I feel like most of the players don't really feel like playing during that time of the year. They're prolly saying 'in Germany, they're having a month long break and we're here freezing on the pitch?'. Dunno...

It's also around that time when managers are getting the sack too.

This is going to be even more visible this year because the World Cup will be held on November and some of the Premier League players will be playing with their national team during such period.They will be tired and I mean really tired if their teams go further in the World Cup so when Boxing Day comes they will think that in Germany they are having a long month of break x2 to x5 I would measure with a bet multiplier Grin

This time the latest entry that gets a piece of the pie is much lower than 10th but I agree up to the 10th price are some good prizes in Bitcoin we can get,we are 60 persons and one more and there is a huge amount that Sportsbet is sponsoring here so this year prizes are some of the best,now that I think they are the best in these years that I am taking part in this pool.I am also at 42th place but I am not worried at all,it takes just a couple of really good weeks which I am sure everyone of us will get and we will be in prize zone spots in no time.

Anyway Jayce is running away with it and establishing himself at the lead early in the season. Good for him, bad for us. Lol. :/

Tbh it's quite ironic while Im on 1st position for the last few weeks but failed to win any single of weekly prize. So, Im not really happy with this lol. And the gap is already short week by week actually, wont be even surprised if this week someone replace my position.

It's not about getting the highest score at any given week imho. It's about consistency of getting decent scores every week. And you should def be happy as getting a wide gap early is key. Your odds of winning obv gets better as the gap widens.

Anyway, good job.

Running with a large gap early on is also a huge advantage, especially during this difficult part of the season before the world up break. This weekend's results really messed up my position, from 14 places up last week to 12 places down this week shows how bad it was for me this week. I entered so many draws and everything went so wrong for me. Lol.

The week feels incomplete without games against Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool. I felt like nothing else happened this weekend, which shows how important these club games are. I'm not sure if anyone else feels the same way..

Yeah it helps if you have a lot of buffer esp at winter when things start to get a bit unpredictable. Some clubs tend to get stronger as others get weaker due to injuries. So it's good to keep tabs on who's injured and who's dipping in performance starting around December.

And true. But in a couple of weeks Spurs vs Arsenal and United vs City are going to make up for it. Wink

Can't wait...

I don't know. Yes, of course, a new coach wants to win the first game, but what are the stats on that? Do they often succeed?

I think in most other leagues the fact is they often succeed and I think in Premier League it is the same when the new coach has a team with a great name like Chelsea has been in recent years for example.Now this coach with the postponement of the games in the Premier League will have somewhat an easier job winning against Salzburg tonight in the Champions League game.If Chelsea fails this then things will go inevitably wrong even in the Premier League as the moral of the players will be at the bottom of the bottom level.

And yet, there was a draw.

No one was expecting it. I surely wasn't expecting that Chelsea will not win on their home field playing against Salzburg, but then it took 47 minutes for Chelsea to score, and then on the 75th minute Noah Okafor from Salzburg evened out the score. Yes, Chelsea played better, much better than their opponent, but by reason of bad luck they didn't win.

But I wouldn't say that the fighting spirit of Chelsea is at the bottom level. I think, same as Liverpool, they are going to climb up in the Premier League table in the future.

Hopefully, my shitty pool position translates to loads of betting wins this season!

You are in a good position,trust me,you have no stress what is going to happen and your choices will be made wisely I am sure of this,I am in a kinda similar situation to you although just a couple of place up but in points we have no real big difference.So from starting next round we should have full focus on the pool and try to see past results of each team and not go only for our guts predictions,I have noticed that it helps a lot,when you see the recent performance of the last 5 games of each team playing and you also read the latest news before the events chances are you will improve in the pool,but I know you want to improve more in betting this season Grin

Trust me, I'm confusing myself hahaha. Last season was my best performance in the pool in all the seasons participating, but it was my worst betting season probably since 2015, probably much earlier (believe it or not I try to keep track otherwise I overspend) despite a good start.

In general, it was a joke proposal. I am already mired in gambling and try to reduce my participation in it

And yesterday I win 4 mbtc free bets and now I have to puzzle over what bets to make, given that the games of the national teams will be held now, I would not say that this is a pleasant choice.

Pools are probably the wisest thing to pay for. One off, and prizes all season to win, and a possible big one at the end. Don't throw yr freebets on NL, or throw them on huge underdogs. (Don't) trust me =)

tough season so far, but it will be better
last season you were on top after season half, and finished lower, now you will start up from the bottom to the top

nevermind, I also have bad prediction season, but what a heck, Everton won first one this season, against West Ham, and it is good enough to avoid relegation talks for a moment, hopefully it will get better over time, as our rankings in the pool

Appreciate the faith, maybe that's how it'll be eh? Everton yeah, and I picked Hammers -- watched the game and I thought it would end up being a draw. Goal from nowhere, multiple saves, that kind of game!

There is a huge distance ahead, but everyone is already talking about the odds of winning in the pool Cheesy

Maybe it's time to create a new pool to bet on who will win in the end and in separate rounds? Grin

A pool within a pool, what could be more interesting Grin

A rather weak round for me - as much as 21st place, but at the same time, in the overall standings, I went up a bit.

You definitely don't win by taking such a lead early on but you definitely lose it and I'm 39 points off the pace, there's no way I'm getting this season, what an annoyance haha.

I can relate about consistency. Today I won my second Yellow Cap in 7 rounds, but I'm just in 20th position.

Good job there mate on winning the yellow cap this round, I was so close in getting it and it was only 0.5 point differences. This is probably the closest that I've been on getting yellow cap since last season. Well its abit funny there because im 12th and you are 20th with 0.5 point differences as well lol, I guess the gap is a bit tight atleast until we are halfway through the season

I completely agree with the consistency and yeah it's not easy.

yeah, consistency is all, and you do not have to win any round to win the season, you just need to be in upper half every round

one or two rounds down have to be, but several in the row can put you down, and decrease moral for play, and then it is not easy to recover and go up on the table

I can relate about consistency. Today I won my second Yellow Cap in 7 rounds, but I'm just in 20th position. Simply few other rounds were really poor for me. Though, I wouldn't say that this round was great for, I simply benefited that there is less games in this round.
Now we go into international break and Arsenal is still leading. Like I said already - stop the count! Cheesy

You can't make up many places in a round with just 7 games or which is running 70% instead of a full round with 10 games,this is a big limitation.I was last year leading the pool up until week 7 or 8 of the pool but since then I fell down a lot of places and ended up just 2 points before last place in a winning spot in the end of the pool,which means that you should strive for consistency,if you have green arrow near your name then it is a good round for you,I read that way,as long as I only have green arrows near my name I am happy and this week I got a nice green arrow with 3 number indicating I climbed up 3 places despite me being in the last places in the standings.
