I did back Brentford, and I didn't even hedge them in this one. Picked 2-0, and they were in my parlay yesterday (I just ruined it by adding Monaco to it eff me). I know I said this season I'm going to learnt to not keep backing the underdog but this was only a 45/10 team, and yeah, remember Arsenal last season? Betting against them would win you a lot of money over the season and it looks like they're same old, same old.

I don't mind you (Sojourner) to get points. If we have a season with upset matches most of the time, then you will be the one who will have top score LOL. You and HHampuz (if I am not wrong) are the one who always go with unusual picks all the time. I guess you feel thrilled by doing that 😂

Now I'm just 9 games away from £22,000 (in case you're new to the pool, there's a cash prize from Superbru for 9 or 10 exact picks in a Match Week). It's ridiculously difficult to win of course but hey.

Looking for perfect emoji but let's have this 🤓 for now

Game 1: 22'
Game 2: 22'

it looks like our girl has had the right touch with the 22 minute of the first game. Wink

Indeed ☺️
This was my third try in this thread. First I had two different minutes for the matches, OP sent me a PM. Realized I need to change my time. So went with 21 minutes for both, but then checked hilariousandco already had 21 minutes, so went with 22 for both.

@NotATether not sure how your scoring works? It's fairly simple. 3 points for exact outcome, 1.5 if your score is 1 goal out OR 2 goals out but correct goal difference. 1 point for any other right outcome.

A friend of mine was backing the Brentford win. Should've listened. As I said in the PL thread there's always crazy upsets at the beginning of the league. Leeds to beat Man United today?

If anyone still wants to play just message me. Only one game has been played so far and it was a huge upset where everybody but two players lost all points so there's no real disadvantage to starting a little late.

I had Arsenal as a draw as I thought Brentford is going to play strongly in their opening premier game in the Premier League but didn't think that Arsenal would not be able to get a draw out of this game.There are other games today in the Premier League so plenty of room to improve guys.

Slava Ukraini!

New season, old Arsenal

. Congrats everyone with season start!
We have 43 players on this pool, slightly less than last season, but still, not bad number. And only 2 predicted Brentford win. Well, seems that in season start we still have expectations that Arsenal can't be so bad Cheesy

.
I followed Brentford in Championship last season and it's very interesting team. I was disappointed that they didn't got promoted last season. I expect that they are going to stay in EPL. Maybe they aren't as good as Leeds, but still, they can be somewhere in 15th place.
My wild prediction that Brighton, Crystal Palaca and Burnely will drop.

I kinda suspected Brentford would win all along but two things that held me back was 1) literally everyone else chose Arsenal so there's the risk of falling behind everyone (instead of just buwaytress and yatty89 Grin

) and 2) this is their first-ever game in this league, so it was risky teeing them up although they did do exploits against Arsenal previously in the FA cup (or maybe it was in the EFL cup).

We have a rare opportunity to see how closeness works before the other matches start.

0-2 results got 0 closeness (I think this is correct goal difference at work)
1-3 results got 1 closeness
1-2 and 0-1, and 1-3 results got 1.5 closeness

Finally the worst results for this round are 1-1 which got 2 closeness.

So goal difference comes into play here.

If you're unlucky and just "flip" the score then it doesn't cost you any points (Remember that lower is better). Correct goal difference gives you +1 closeness, anything else that represents the opponents winning gives +1.5 closeness and draws are the worst and will give you +2 closeness.

In the last pool, 3rd-5th place were all tied with closeness so it'd be helpful to know how scoring works and what Superbru doesn't tell you, no? Roll Eyes

Nothing new with Arsenal this season again and awful play by them . Arteta is a really bad manager and i think he should have been sacked a longtime ago. Even missing Auba and Lacazzete they should have played much better against a newcomer in the league. Arsenal just became a middle place team

2nd goal for Brentford...Arsenal's "defence" looking like a 11th division amateur team even though they paid 50m for ben white

guys, ELI5 why is arsenal so shit? who else is gonna join them in the battle to avoid relegation this season?

New season, same old Arsenal, you can always count on them to play like shit away from home. Granted they were missing Auba and Lacazete so some problems in attack should have been expected but it was their defense that let them down this time around. They looked comical in couple of situations. I liked Smith-Rowe and Tierney from Arsenal today, rest of the team was nowhere to be seen. Toney is a beast in the air and Mbeumo looks like serious trouble to contain when he has ball in his feet. Looking forward to see more from Brentford.

I was sure Brentford is gonna score so I picked both to score for this game and then Arsenal goes and ruins my 5x multi.

And we are at a good start from arsenal as 40 participants alongside me thought that Arsenal going to be victorious against newly promoted team

Congratulations to all Arsenal fans on an epic loss, do not despair, the whole season is still ahead, so there are still many losses ahead! + I am also satisfied with this result ... since I took third place! I haven't earned any points, but I feel divine! Grin

By the way, now we can say goodbye to one of the sweet specials (both teams will score in every match of the 1st round).

Funny thing that Brentford is hosting their first premier league game and in all teams in London history they never win their first game in the EPL. As they are kicking them 2-0 now
So Arsenal is making history again.
I think they are definitely going to finish outside top8 this year

I just send the entry fee, almost at the last minute Cheesy

@hilariousandco you have PM from me with my transaction ID.

Sent. Again, if anyone is thinking of joining, sign up to superbru (takes a minute) and just make sure your scores are put in and you can join the pool at a later date if you so chose to.

I was able to put in my pick before the start of the game, not as if it's going to matter anyway since Arsenal has chosen to start woefully from they stopped the previous season...

I've not gotten link to the Pool yet btw, am I missing something or it hasn't been sent out yet ?

Damn tokes you're at it again. I'm not doing any sidebets here, unless I see something interesting. Tapped out at a LOT of places haha.

By the way, who will be top three in the league? Any wild guess?

@LFC_Bitcoin will back me up here I'm sure of it.

Hail, hail, Liverpool is completely under the radar this season, which I honestly love. They're also only 56/10 to win the Prem League (slightly worse off than Chelski) so I'm very happy with that as last season we were not even 3/1 and that didn't sit well with me, hate being the favourites ha.

Everyone else has got plenty of signings to show off but I'm backing Bobby and Mane to improve their form, we'll have a real defence back in place, Trent and Robbo also to make up for a bad start last season, Jota and the rest to up their games, Salah as usual a masterpiece of form and class.

I need to find someone else to love...

Let's hope the new kids in EPL and Arsenal both give us a cracking good time! Hard to top last season's 4-3 opener;)

^ I got no gamble for the pool this season. I honestly lost a huge chunk making dumb bets which I blame to the ‘covid era’ and got margin called a couple of times from the huge sell down in the market a couple or so months ago. So gambling anything above 50 bucks for me is no bueno. Give me time to recover. Grin

All BTC’s I have left I’m taking to ride the final leg of the bull market.

Well that might be fair enough if you weren't trying to make other bets here haha. Get someone to make a bet with you for the entry fee and they pay it now for you. It's not like you can chase your loses with this pool.

^ Trofo, so are we going thru with the bet? I say Brentford stays up. Give me 3 to 1. Max bet is 30 bucks from my side. But you choose the size. I’m also open in reducing the odds a little bit since it’s really just for the lulz.

Not that one, I am also thinking Brentford stays up, I even have Toney in my Fantasy squad. We can make a bet on top scorer this season or maybe on who finishes higher. City is first favorite but I see Liverpool and Chelsea are priced at the same level, how about we make that our bet?

Or if you want relegation I am thinking Norwich and Watford will be relegated. Lets choose something with even odds, easier to bet that way.

I am saying top 4 teams will be City, LFC, United and Chelsea, if you believe one of them is not gonna finish in top 4 we can make a bet a about that as well.
