A very bold prediction from LTU there Grin

. I'm guessing he wanted to go for 1-3. Looks like the game is going to end 0-0 anyway so probably nothing lost.

A most definitely was mistake but still a funny one btw, and he's lost one point 😏

Dafuq ref in Watford game. Joao Pedro was through on goal, yes he was getting his shirt pulled all the way, but ref whistled for the foul and freekick but this is one of the worst decisions I've ever seen recently in EPL. Pedro took the freekick and blasted high but damn, English league's generally really good at playing the advantage and yet this one let down.

Yes, it helped as I bet on Spurs but was watching as a neutral anyway and it's really not fun to see that ruin the game.

I guess it would have been a different story case if the player (Pedro) had stopped running or lost the ball, but the fact we play go on for quite a while these days for a potential foul/offside made the call look really out of place.

Wouldn't have made any difference for me btw, as my bet was on Tottenham to win at halftime.

Oh and yes, Arsenal played well. But they're going to be haunted by their discipline problem. Red card totally avoidable. Arteta thought he fixed that but seems like lots more work to do in the backroom.

Anyway, play's stopped. Seems like there was another crowd medical incident, didn't Watford also have a CPR incident in the crowd just last month? I'll chalk this off as a draw, maybe not watching the end will allow Kane a goal. Son deserves one.

@LTU_BTC 11-3 huh Wink

Watford can score, but I'll be damned if they get double figures in my lifetime =D

Damnit, I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread before watching the Arsenal/City match. Oh well, I really had high hopes for Arsenal for their home game against City. This could have been the match where Arsenal established themselves as a legitimate Top-Four team for the season, and would have been a great way to start the new year.

They're doing well but I don't think well enough to beat City. Got the exact score right on that one but it's probably the only points I'll be getting from today.

The Sunday games look hard to pick for me. I've got all draws in but I might have to change some. Maybe Leeds and Liverpool can get wins. I'll wait for the line-ups as that will be a big factor, especially for Leeds.

It was not a fair play game from the referee in my opinion. The honest result should have been a draw as Arsenal really played with desire to take point or points. We can admit that City is having more skills , pace and vision in the pitch that makes them to control the game with more confidence that the other team. However, Arsenal is literally another team from what they used to be some months ago and we should be happy with this because if they continue to work hard and evolve their game , the could make a huge surprise in the next years.

massive game about to kick off but the thread is super quiet...gotta go easy on the drinking , fellas Grin

City, Spurs and West Ham, all to win today, should be free points for everyone in the pool...or is anyone here brave enougn to predict an upset

Arsenal doesn't seem to think so. they even had some serious chances to score more goals.
they’ve been really surprised with good games in last time, and they’ve started so badly.

and of course, Happy New Year to all people in this pool. Wink

Happy new year to all the players in this amazing pool. Also City just scored a goal from a penalty and now its 1-1. I really hope that Man City can win in this match 1-2 to start this year with a bang. Arsenal is playing really good so will be hard that City wins.

Arsenal got a red card and that will be difficult for them to keep the score level until the end of the game.It will most probably end with 1-3 for Manchester City if they will push it hard for the win but may also end like you say 1-2 if City just waits for the right timing to score and end the game to get the three points.They have also the luxury of ending the game in a draw as they are 8 points ahead of the second place but I doubt they will go for the draw.

I really don't know what to say, but that's because I didn't watch the game live. However, going about the starts and live commentary I think Arsenal could have been said to deserve more from the game, or the result could have easily been different without the red card, since Arsenal were portrayed to have played pretty well in the first half.

Football today! Meagre fare, but London clashes could be fun if Watford sneak in an early goal! Who wants to be on Tuchel and Conte to get miserable months? I'm already digging in for a torrid month but actually I just checked and we only miss Mane/Salah for 2 games after Chelski, so it's really not SO bad. Does harm our hopes to progress in cup games though (Shrewsbury should be fine, it's the double Arsenal one I'm worried about).

Leicester is postponed, so Tottenham is playing Watford and Crystal Palace with West Ham, solid football for first day in 2022, but I will watch ski-jumping in Garmish, tradition for 1st January

Fancying West Ham, and Watford to nick a point personally. Tottenham have been picking up their form recently, but they always seem to disappoint against the lesser teams. Think Watford have a good chance of getting a point or potentially even more.

West Ham have let me down recently though, they don't seem to have the consistency to be challenging for top four.

Firstly, happy new year to everyone and Steve and Sportsbet. You guys made it such a wonderful year I cannot imagine ever that I would love a sportsbetting platform the way I do for you. That comes from the bottom of the heart.

I like Rashford too but you are totally right here,,, he did a lot of good charity projects especially about the food program and this is why he is loved.

then let him engage in politics, why he takes a salary from a football club.
I saw many hardcore MU supporters who do not want to hear any criticism of him, it certainly gives him the comfort of not having to work hard on the field. nothing performs better than Martial, and this one is currently on the margin.

Hey man, I am not saying he should be anything, but football players are social leaders and role models, so if he chooses to support food projects in his own home town, and in neighborhoods he grew up in, I think he should be applauded. Nobody said he is running for politics.

Can we not be our careers and also speak on social issues? Bitcointalk people should only talk about Bitcoin and not support Bitcoin charities? Sportsbet should only talk betting and not support charities with Bitcoin? I think both sides benefit from doing good

But anyway you are totally right Martial is performing but not getting chances and what about the sad case of Lingard? Sad

No "binary" win for United in the end, huh casperBGD? Last match I switched 2-1 to 3-1, and last night I switched 3-1 to 2-1. Go figure.

Betwrong used his in a hurry and bagged a nice win. IIRC I also used mine rightaway and snagged a pretty cool acca win, so I'm already in the black in this pool. Doesn't mean I'm not going to try and keep hold of this position... I just need to pull a bastard toma move from last season haha.

Thank you, @buwaytress. Indeed what we need is to not forget to make our predictions for each round.

Lady Luck is smiling at me in the end of this year.

After winning Yellow Cap in Round 19, I took 6th place in Round 20

and climbed up 3 more places.

Quote from: buwaytress on December 28, 2021, 11:30:12 AM

Even if you don't win in the end, a yellow cap brings you $50 freebet. That's your fee right there paid up and you can win more than once every week.

I received my free bet yesterday, used it the same day, and I won!

What a week for me! So happy that the efforts put in research weren't in vain.

Now we have 9 matches in Round 21. I feel like this round can make a lot of changes in the Leaderboard. Don't forget to make your predictions, guys!

Have a happy New Year's Eve celebration, and may Lady Luck smile at you during 2022!

He was probably not. Lets break this down though, Ole had a good season with the team last season and the team ended up 2nd. Yeah it wasnt good enough but it was 2nd and its still great, he had all his plans worked out last season with all players of his selection then he ended up signing Jordan Sancho which he might need this season

Yeah, but last season was a bit of an anomaly, and really it was whoever got the luck of the draw. That was the first real season with Covid at large, and a lot of issues with how to deal with it. Liverpool had a absolute nightmare last season in terms of injuries, as well as battling Covid. So, there's plenty of reasons why they managed to finish second. I won't take everything away from them as they still needed to put in the performances, but many factors contributed to them being second.

They've got all the talent in the world, just something is rotten in that team, and I think its the players I mentioned. Once Ronaldo, Pogba, and potentially Maguire are gone I feel they can finally kick on whoever the manager is.
