Ah hahay well done to you, pipped LFC_Bitcoin with that Leeds win after all, a hell lot more than the 4.5 I netted for the whole round. It was one-sided all the way, by the time I stopped watching after Bamford's goal I think I saw 10 shots to 3 on livescore.

Looks like another unique winner with hahay.

It's not really a promo just one of their 'request a bets' which you can build yourself but these ones are usually already there included in the 'Popular RequestABets'. I put them on most weeks if there's a game where I think there could be a lot of action.

Yeah, the local bookies I can access (fiat) here are really crap -- nothing compared to the UK ones. Even when there is a boost, and I do get alerts, it's almost still below the value of regular crypto. I kinda miss the times I was in UK, Sunday punters can really get a lot of joy. Loving the SB super boosts and specials though. They don't run into 100/1 but seriously good value for bets I'd normally take anyway.



Skybet is pretty good with promos and offers lots of different accumulator selections and you can make your own easily with the request-a-bet feature. They're pretty much the only site I use because I like the free £5 bet they give you every week as long as you bet £25 and I usually rack them up to save when I'm on a bit of a loss run to try recoup my money. Occasionally they give you free bets for other stuff as well. You could probably use it with a proxy I guess, especially if you'ver already got an account registered with them.

Looks like this week is another longer round as there's two extra games with the rescheduled Burnley/Fulham and Everton City matches. My scores are still in from when I initially made them so wary of that if you also did the same.

38th position and that's because about 5 guys have stopped making predictions maybe (Avi, JanpriX are at least two I know are usually active!).

BREAKING NEWS:  Alisson caught a case of Karius Syndrome.

^  Stole that from the comments section of a Liverpool vs City highlight vid.  Lolol.  Cheesy

And checking this round’s results, I was surprised I didn’t do that bad...  I’m still 4 places below the money spots and hopefully could climb to win .01 BTC which isn’t really bad at all.  I think my first place prize from last year was just 400 bucks worth of BTC. 

Alisson Blunderland (Alice In Wonderland) - I saw that joke online  Roll Eyes

I’d be really upset if we hadn’t won everything over the last few years. Meh, it’s OK, can’t win every year. The injuries have killed us. I would take top 4 if you offered it me right now, regroup & go again next season.

Leeds vs C Palace tonight, the way Leeds play I don’t think it’ll be 0-0 Cheesy

Yeah, I'd agree with you... Too bad for me, I went with Leeds to win by a lone goal, and they've taken the lead just before 3 minutes. I'm curious to see how the next 80+ Minutes will be without another goal  Roll Eyes

Alisson in blunderland, that's just classic. Seems such a long time ago when he did the first blunder I recall two seasons ago against Leicester. We all know keepers do it, and Alisson tends to do it because he's so confident (sorta reminds me of Barthez in a way, with a lot more flair of course). The curse of keepers good with their feet, I guess. Gotta take in all these jabs in good spirit eh Reds?

If Palace have a very weakened team then I'll probably go with Leeds but I'll need to see the line-ups first. Is Zaha the only player that's out? People are saying there's a lot out but I can't see any concrete news about that.

Zaha was confirmed as absent at least 2/3 days ago. Believe he could actually play but they want him to recover fully (hamstring like Mane). Current bench is also not even full (3 empty slots, according to my Livescores app). McArthur, who's only missed one game, Ward also not named but they got our old Cliney filling in anyway so it's a lot of forward options, just not Zaha who's really everything good up there!

And damn, every time you post Sky promos I wish I could. SB have been getting really good with promos lately too, I take them almost every other day now if I see something I actually would bet on myself. Ayew could get a goal, even Benteke if they sub him wisely.

Palace line up seems the same as last week apart from obviously Zaha and also Batshuayi is benched: https://www.instagram.com/p/CLCszmlAkmU/

Thinking of backing the home win now.

I'm with Trofo on Leeds. 2/1 is a value bet however you see it, certainly without Zaha Palace will be tempted to park the bus but I think Leeds are the type of team to just go for the onslaught. Liverpool face problems breaking teams down but Leeds are much more direct... harder to defend against. Super Boost on correct score is tempting... 1-0 or 2-0?

Yeah, he had a bit of a nightmare in the second half giving away the ball twice. Unusual for him. I wonder if Klopp will bench him?

Leeds vs C Palace tonight, the way Leeds play I don’t think it’ll be 0-0 Cheesy

I've put my usual bet on when I think there could be goals:



Not sure if Palace will get two without Zaha but it's worth a shot.

Yup and it’s really how Klopp’s sides turn out.  A couple of years of building the squad, a couple of years of success then a year or two of I guess ‘going back to the drawing board.’.  It happened at Dortmund then he left.  He’ll be needing full support from the club during the summer transfer window to freshen up his squad...  The good news is he won’t be leaving LFC anytime soon since his contract runs til 2024.

Well done to LFC_Bitcoin for leading the top, I think it is awesome you are not feeling too bad about your team. It was great you won trophies, now just the time to regroup and not lift expectations.

Now you just need to close out one more game and you can be the first two-times winner of yellow cap,,, I have to be happy with 4.5 points as this was a bad round for almost everyone! Bad on me to pick a Sheffield win against Chelsea hehe.

Thanks man, yeah having recent success lessens the impact of this dip in form on me. The stadiums having no fans helps it not be too upsetting also. When you lose at Old Trafford or something for example, the crowd & everything makes it worse.

It’s cool, more important things in life than football. Hopefully I get that yellow cap tonight Smiley

Thanks for the freebets Steve! Great way to start me Monday, kid at a candy store always at Sportsbet;)

that match for City is on Goodison park, so would not call win for them that easily
but yeah, they have a good lead now, and much bigger worry for Liverpool is the actual form for the team, since you cannot expect to get back on the top with loses, not taking into account how Manchester duo will play

Yeah, I know Robbo said we weren't challenging, and a few others practically admitted that several games ago but I think the concession happened last night finally. The knife was twisted when Alisson gave away that second goal, and Klopp himself says Top 4 is our target. I think that was also the moment I myself felt this season was over.

It's a hard game to call but I'll probably go for a draw unless there's drastic changes to the line-ups. If Palace are missing some big players I'll probably go with a home win.

Liverpool unfortunately did not show any consistency this year and now Manchester City leads alone after Manchester United could not win against Everton.

I thought they played decent enough the first half even though it was pretty boring but they managed to keep it goaless. Went to shit towards the end though and City were just too strong.

On a bright side I got two correct scores this week with Tottenham and Chelsea games which helped me climb the ladder a bit.

I also got two scores right. Only got another two results right though.



Looks like the yellow cap this week is between LFC, Death Angel, hahay and Mosala. Looks like whoever gets the right score will win it though a close one will do for LFC.



what would Leeds do tonight, seems as goals are certain, and win is not that certain tonight

It's a hard game to call but I'll probably go for a draw unless there's drastic changes to the line-ups. If Palace are missing some big players I'll probably go with a home win.

I was thinking exactly the same and then I read that C. Pallace could be without 10 players including Zaha. I wanted to play both to score on this game but now I am not certain anymore. Over goals could still be a good bet if Leeds covers it by themselves but I am afraid Pallace will park 10 players in front of their goal and play to limit damage. Maybe it is best to skip betting on this one, I am taking Leeds win in our pool though.

From no defeat at Anfield in 2 years was it ? to 3 losses in a Month  Shocked Shocked

60+ games so yeah over two years. Maybe even 3 actually if there are 19 home games in a season. Not really in the mood to start looking back. I think this was the first time I didn't watch a game til the end. Switched off at 88th minute, not willing to see the aftermath. 13 points ahead if they (when they) win their game in hand. Oh, the horror.

Chelsea won another one in the line, it is a fine strike for them now, and they will be into top teams soon if they continue like this

I'm still double minded about my pick on Man City vs Liverpool, I've currently got City to win 2 - 1, my guts is telling me Liverpool will emerge victorious 🥴 and all I tend to be quite sure about is that this wouldn't be a draw.

Yeah, hope LFC takes it all anyway! Just feeling like this could still turn anywhere. That's two penalties City's sky-highed now against Liverpool (phew) and Salah earned and tuck his away with aplomb, as usual.

20 minutes left and I am still praying. Cooking and watching the game so I can't actually hear anything from commentating but damn this game is really on knife's edge. Wish Jota were around...

Edit: I jinxed myself and your score's right so far.

Yeah man! I just need both teams to chill out for the remainder ~15-17 Minutes really! but with the attacking mindset of both teams right now I strongly doubt there would be no further goals, fingers crossed  Wink

1.5 out of five games this week for me and 21 players didn't get a point!!! The strange thing is, Man United was close to winning at the expense of Everton, but he lost the victory in the last minute of the match. Tomorrow I will work on improving my options and achieving some points.

Hmm Spurs win, Leicester still stalemate.

I almost don't go for draws so any match day with lots of draws will probably end up being a bad day for me. Kudos to those who did pick the 1-1s but special awards for whomever would have backed 3-3 at Old Trafford. Everton playing foil to all the would-be contenders for top 4.

Liverpool the outright underdogs today (but aren't they always against City?) -- easy chance to almost quadruple your money today, eh @LFC_Bitcoin? I made an early bet at 3.50 but most sites now hovering around 3.7-3.8.

It's quite a low scoring week across the leaderboard, most people are just lucky to hit a couple of exact score, Myself included the 6 points I've gathered so far comes from exact scores. LFC_Bitcoin is leading this week impressively.

I'm still double minded about my pick on Man City vs Liverpool, I've currently got City to win 2 - 1, my guts is telling me Liverpool will emerge victorious 🥴 and all I tend to be quite sure about is that this wouldn't be a draw.

The Man city was close to achieving the first goals of the match with a penalty kick, Gundogan kicks the ball badly, it seems there is a good possibility for Liverpool I will make another bet that will be great.😋😋

After start of second half Manchester City takes lead very quickly through Gundogan he was on right spot for rebound and this time convert in goal very quickly now I am waiting for 2 goals from Liverpool for Exact score for this match because I am sure today they are going to win this match.

Edit: After missing penalty now Gundagon is on fire second goal of night look like its end.
