@toma @Trofo you must be pleased with the early Toon goal.

I'm very disappointed in first half so far, I also had United to win but BTTS, though no bets on this one, just that the card/corner count is way too low for my liking. Thought United well rested, should get loads of joy, and Newcastle desperate and angry... Hope the match turns around in second half.

@swogerino Eh yeah, meanwhile, my City bet is so dead haha. And Palace killed themselves with Zaha sent off. Sigh.
Honestly, I was thinking about this a few weeks ago. Betting on Zaha getting sent off particularly in games against the likes of Sterling etc is a decent pick. Since, he is brilliant at winding opponents up, although in the process he usually gets himself wound up too. Great player, but cant be a bit of a liability sometimes.

Hmm, I actually never considered this angle. Zaha's been consistently one of my favourite players in the past 4 seasons or so, always pick him for a goal or assist now and then, but never really considered his booking history.

Only other player I can sort of classify as the same is Shelvey for Newcastle, or Lucas Leiva for Liverpool/Lazio. They're useful for harrying and winding people up, but are somewhat liabilities as you say. I'll start paying attention now on that.

Line ups are out for Newcastle - United game and all the top players are in for both teams. Should be United win in the end but I am expecting Newcastle to score one goal as well. My money is on both to score and United to win to boost the odds a bit since there isn't anything else worth playing tonight.
same,, single @3.2

heh! Newcastle in a betslip...grim...enjoy my donation, SB  Cheesy

Jeez icopress if that was right, then it is practically impossible to make predictions or bets until a few hours before. [...]
Not that it bothered me a lot in terms of individual cancellations of matches, it's just that I practically don't make single bets, so every canceled match that was included in my express bets is a blow for me. Moreover, I am confused by the fact that the news feed does not yet feature the dates of the postponement of matches, since there is not so much time left before the winter break in the Premier League as it seems, (i mean january 24 - february 4). I just have no idea how the teams will be able to make up for missed games since February, March and April are very busy months, (currently 14 canceled matches)Sad

I won one freebet with Chelsea and Arsenal, and huge favorites in NFL so I at least made a little bit of money yesterday but without the freebet I would also be in red like Trofo.

Arsenal is heading to CL this season

regarding tonight, one should have caution with United, their play is really something unexpected always
Newcastle will obviously start their revival from Championship next season, but they are singing "we play bad, but we are richer than you", even to City

At who's expense ? I like how Arsenal doing this season to be very, they've been doing brilliantly except against the top guns of course, but I would be expecting them to make the UCL next season, Arsenal have been known to not always keep up to task as the season gets to it's third quarter, but we'll see I guess.
Let's not get ahead of our selves. Arsenal had a great run but they had really good draw in recent months. The quality of their opponents will take a change soon and we have to see if they are able to actually play against top teams. My opinion is that big 3 will win games against them easy. Liverpool did just that the other day with result like 4:0. They have City to open the new year and I expect similar result.

When they lost first 3 games in the season I said I expect them to finish in top part of the table and probably fight for 6th spot. Now I can maybe see them as high as 4th but I still think United will find form and climb the ranks.

Arsenal showed they can win against weaker teams, now they have to show that they can hold their own against top teams but I feel like they will fail on this test.

Goals galore it was yesterday, I earned only 1 point from all the ones I had, Chelsea's game was the only which I got 1.5 points from.

They are even singing "you're nothing special, we lose every week" to every team so I guess at least they're having fun going down. Poor Newcastle lol

isn't that what sport should be about, having fun, and they are obviously having fun Smiley
maybe it is better to have perfect Championship season next year, and get back for a title chase in 2023, than to stick around for an another lousy season in Premier

I liked Newcastle, when Shearer was playing, especially seasons with him and Faustino

I'll agree with jonjo Shelvey, Fred's more of a cool headed guy.
The bet should have been placed of Scott Mac tominay, always pugnacious in games like this.
It'll be a straight win for Manchester United anyways, you won't catch them lacking on this game.
Ronaldo to score again.

Ah well I did not know that but I seem to remember in my mind Fred is always panicking when trying to defend and run back, but maybe I get lucky and he gets an offensive foul as United seem to be more about pressing?

rdbase, Trofo, yes is it strange that yesterday all the favorites won and yet we all got quite small points? Well, almost all! I guess I should have had the faith to put money on everyone of them in a multibet.

Alot of matches today ended as predicted and with alot of goals as a few have already said. Which made for a good day for bettors instead of the bookies.

Hope you all managed to place some good bets on goals and overs for your favorite teams to score.
Amazingly Sotons were 6.00x for a victory with over 2.5 goals which I managed to put on one of my parlays with Chelsea and Arsenal.
Lukaku saved those with a Chelsea win and the over with a last minute penalty awarded when he was in the box.
So overall a brilliant boxing day in the EPL!
Unfortunately no, I ended the day deep in the red. Needed Aston Villa to get at least a draw for nice payout but Chelsea proved to be too strong. I even wanted to cash out the ticket one minute before Chelsea got first penalty and of course I did not make it in time. My cash out option went away and then 30 seconds later penalty for Chelsea. At least I learned that I am watching Premier League with small lag Smiley

I know that feeling man and I feel for you.I remember when I used to play sport betting in the beginning of this year and I had the cashout option from Sportsbet many times yet my gut feeling destroyed me.I have missed so many tickets because of that last game which I was confident I was going to win.Now I play occasionally sport betting and if I need only one game to win the parlay I usually cash out and don't feel bad even if my team wins that game.

Seems that Everton vs Burnley was called off as well.
But Atleast the Southampton Saints did a solid and won their match against a poor West Ham side even with Antonio coming on to score a few minutes on the pitch in the second half.

Boxing day at it's finest - so many goals scored. 26 goals just in 5 games.
Leicester almost made comeback from 4:0 and I missed most part of it. I switched to other game when City were leading 2:0 and returned only when score was 4:2.
Remember what a joke Arsenal was in season start and how good they're now. It's two different teams.
Now Brighton and Brentford game is in action and I have least expectation about it, but still watching it.

they've been in very poor form lately with only 1W in the last 5 games (1 win in 7 games, including all competitions). But The Saints are going through a rough patch as well, last time they won a game was in early November. This smells like a draw, but, I went with a West Ham win in the pool, i don't trust teams near the relegation zone  Roll Eyes

another down for West Ham
but Arsenal is really staggering at the moment, 0:5 against any team is great, did not watch, so comment based on score only

today seemed only goals so far, will Chelsea play that game as well, one from Penalty spot, and I need one more for a win

has anyone put anything on Leicester for a complete turnover after seeing 4:3 from 4:0?

Villa against Chelsea looks like value pick since Chelsea lost much of their good form and are struggling to score at the moment while their defense looks much shakier than at the beginning of the season.
I've gone for Aston Villa to get the draw against Chelsea to try, and recoup some of my money I lost on the West Ham, and the Tottenham game, I wasn't expecting Spurs to get the result they did. I swear, Tottenham only ever turn up against us, and then go ship points to lesser teams. So, I was counting on that this time around.

@swogerino Eh yeah, meanwhile, my City bet is so dead haha. And Palace killed themselves with Zaha sent off. Sigh.

Yeah, costing me points and bets. They beat us, and then sputtered (LLD), then beat Chelsea and then sputtered (DLL), so they better buck up and get us back some of that Moyes magic... though of course it will be bittersweet as I still have my soft spot for Saints who're already leading this one 1-0.

The big teams except West Ham are all winning their games,which is in fact very strange for Boxing day games as in the last couple of years there were surprises during such event.Of course it is just the first half and it is not finished yet but I can see that the stronger teams are playing very well and most likely they will end in wins.

To bad for me that I didn't bet on a parlay on such teams tonight,I would have made some money to make some gifts for the New Year.

For now West Ham v Saints looks like the only one with decent odds

West Ham seems as a decent pick, with solid chances to be played, agree
what about Arsenal, on @1.35 I would rather pick Norwich to win, than risk with Arsenal

all this postponements will make a mess from the league in the end, especially for position 4 fight, where you would not know who has chances to reach CL until the end

West Ham are not consistent.
Won't be surprised to see them drastically go down the top four.
They're likely to loss on tomorrow's fixture.
