^yes that’s the first time with the odds at the bottom
This is bad news for me. I will get biased by the odds now and will mess up my picks LOL
Who is their betting partner?

I have gone with Utd to win in the first match but I am having a feeling that Leicester may surprise Utd. There a so many times Utd messed up with my points so if they draw or lose, I would not be surprised.

But anyway I’m not making my predictions based on odds, using a mixture of stats and feeling instead
Will make my predictions now cause will forget tomorrow  Grin and I don’t wanna ruin my current position on the leaderboard

I haven't made my picks yet..  You got 0 - 1 for Spurs?  Grin  I think that's what I'm going for but the Wolves are the type of club that could out fox any top 6 club.
That is my pick. 1:0 for Spurs sounds about right. Lot of away wins for me this time around, Man Utd, Everton, Southampton, Chelseam and Spurs. All good odds so hopefully it will be good day at the bookies as well.

Am I crazy, or is this first time we have odds written below games when making tips? I am sure I did not see that before and it helps a little.

I’ll try a different angle this week, be much more humble. I can’t believe how many places I dropped haha.
Let's see how you and big_daddy do in this round. Before getting busy with Christmas things and mess up my brain I thought it's time for me to make my picks.
I am average as always. I never got the yellow cap not the wooden spoon however I was close to get wooden spoon several times. I wish I do the same for yellow cap sometimes. 😛

I put in my picks early already. Hoping for a strong Spurs win but me myself I put in a rather conservative prediction,,, for me as long as we enter 2021 in a winning way in the top four I am happy. I know we lost 2 games,,, but it was to very strong contenders. We just have to keep winning the games to the bottom half of the table. Plus a semifinal EFL:)

Only few days ago you were too confident and started trash talk 😛

The same happened with me in the past. After a very confident round and me having trash talk about the next round, a massive failure. Since then I stopped doing the same. If I have a good round, I am normal. If I have a bad round I take it easy with sadness.

Anyway, this happens brother. I too have a bad round in this one.

Congrats to big_daddy.

Well done to this week's Yellow Cap winner, bigdaddy, who moved up 11 total spots after last week's matches.
I am still awaiting for such round which never happened with me in this round yet.

I remain in 2nd place but am now 9.5 points away from 1st place with tomahawk9.

My current 2nd place standing is only 1.5 points more than 3rd place with tyKiwanuka.

Enjoy the little break everyone; as play resumes after Boxing Day (26th).

I tried to be clever & go for a number of draws, it obviously didn’t work out & I’ve slipped a bunch of places in the pool. Will teach me for trying to be too clever, what an idiot  Roll Eyes

I managed to move up by two places over the round, and with you dropping by 11 positions to 16th position explains how competitive the pool still is, which means one good/terrible round could make a terrific impact, but tomahawk is really pulling clear at the top 😳😳

There's no games until boxing day now but there's a load over the holiday season and new year so make sure you don't miss them as they cram them all in and I think teams will be playing three games within a week. No doubt Klopp will be crying about that.

He was not crying when he played my team two games ago. Did anyone notice he had zero substitutions even though people were warming up in the field and it was looking to be headed towards a 1-1 draw?

Mourinho was really angered and I guess now Klopp has less to cry about for 5-subs rule if he did not even make 1.

Burnley vs Wolves
Chelsea vs West Ham

Tonights games, I need some points to avoid the wooden spoon Cheesy

Edit - Wooden spoon avoided Cheesy

Steve, bro! Cheesy Cheesy



Rofl.  Damn...  I wonder how many wooden spoons I've gotten since the start.  It has been a really baaad season for me both in the pool and in betting on these fixtures.  I think I'm just gonna switch to long shot parlays for the rest of the season and try to hit a big one.  Lol.

I think that it will be difficult for bigdaddy user here in the pool to lose the yellow cap for this round with only two games to go so I am congratulating him in advance.As for me I am happy with 9 points so far as these two last weeks have brought me to 23rd place as of yet while just two weeks ago I was lying near the end in 42nd place.

Well bigdaddy won it but only by half a point. Got zero points from those two games. Had Burnley to draw 1-1 with Wolves but they went and got the winner in the last minute. Also went for a 1-1 draw on the Chelsea game and it was 1-0 right up until the 78th minute and was hoping West Ham would manage to equalise but Chelsea scored and then got another within two minutes.

There's no games until boxing day now but there's a load over the holiday season and new year so make sure you don't miss them as they cram them all in and I think teams will be playing three games within a week. No doubt Klopp will be crying about that.

That is also my only regret that the next week is on 26th and I was expecting more midweek action.Also based on how many draws you had predicted the only two possibilities were you either would be the yellow cap or the second one score low points which was the case.

Not looking so good for the Leeds at the moment, they are already 3:0 down and it looks like united will have a nice Sunday afternoon. Just placed few minutes before the game started on Leeds +1 Asian handicap. They I tune in 5 minutes late and my bet is already down the drain. I hope Leeds will score a goal or two and not just break apart.

Commented in the PL thread already, I didn't like how they fell apart after that 1st goal. United really had it easy, that does not happen often against Bielsa's teams.

Historically the Spurs do well against Leicester, especially Harry Kane.  I'm not so sure why clubs this season lose mometum everytime you're starting to think their picking up pace and would start dominating their opponents.  It's happened to Everton, Chelsea, LFC, City and now Spurs.

With Everton I think it was lack of real quality, same as with Villa. The others mostly have a lot of games and injuries and this season it will be especially difficult to reach a certain level of form. I think the winner will not be the team that played the best, but the team that will be the last one standing.

So far the teams with biggest rosters are doing better, they are my favorites for the top spots at the end as well.
