Just popping on to say what a joke the PL officiating is atm. VAR is ruining the game, I’m so fed up with it. Every week something screws us, getting so annoying. You can’t even celebrate a goal any more because there’s always a good chance VAR are going to **** you.

VAR calls will destroy us this season. I mean, all calls were good, even the Salah goal, but we've had a goal disallowed almost every game due to an offside of a few millimeters.
Brighton deserved a point and we definitely did not play well, but losing points like this hurts like hell. You could see today how much Van Dijk means to Liverpool, we were really nervous for the last 15 minutes or so and you could just feel that we are ready to concede. When he plays, that feeling is mostly the opposite.

Predicted Palace win, and hedged it with a Newcastle bet, but because I was dumb enough to bundle that upset with a tight game in La Liga, I lost it anyway. So 0 points from Friday night, toma's probably happy that only a handful of this entire pool actually predicted a Newcastle win. Fancy Joelinton getting in on at the end eh?
Liverpool look the best betting value of today's matched, but if I'm Spurs, I'll be flush from last week's 4/1 win, should look to do a repeat.
That yesterday game had no goals written all over it and then Newcastle got those 2 late goals to screw my prediction. No matter at least my bets were green, I had under 2.5 goals for high stake and 1.half draw on another multi which got busted later.Liverpool look the best betting value of today's matched, but if I'm Spurs, I'll be flush from last week's 4/1 win, should look to do a repeat.
Liverpool line up looks ok and should score a couple against Brighton, they will probably concede one as well so I am expecting result like 3:1 for the reds. Have a bet on them as a part of nice double with my main tip of the day:
Everton - Leeds both to score @1.6, this looks like free money to me. Both sides are bad at defending and I am expecting goals galore in this match maybe even something like 4:3 for one of the sides. If my early ticket passes and line ups are as expected I will be putting a lot more money on this one.
With that line up, I was thinking my 2 - 1 for Liverpool was still likely. Watching the match... Nope. It almost looks like Liverpool vs Atalanta just played a couple of days ago.
Edit: Finally! Need one more for my bet.
Edit: Salah off.. He doesn't look happy.

I think almost everybody here in the pool and almost everyone outside the pool also didn't expect a Newcastle win yesterday.You were smart enough to hedge it with another bet which unfortunately lost but I was so sure of a Palace win yesterday that I also placed a single on them with little money.I think a triple with Manchester City,Liverpool and Everton to win would be a great choice for today games.Yesterday 0 points for many of us but there is enough games and time to recover so let's see how it goes in the remaining games.
Except right now, we've just conceded a penalty (that's what you get Neco) which Maupay inexplicably missed (similar to de Bruyne's penalty miss against us except this time on the right), got a goal chalked off from VAR (another shoelace offside I have no idea I thought we'd actually get the goal).
I'm backing Leeds on a bet today, but now feeling a bit uneasy I placed a huge single bet on the Reds today. The lineup is so experimental. Millie and Mina in the midfield, Firmino the striker flanked by Salah and Jota... Nat Phillips in CB is letting everyone through on the counter, Alisson even had a slip. Hope Klopp makes the changes at half time, we survived this but need to shock and awe in 2nd half.

Leeds is my pick for today if I had to bet on one team, Everton are a game away from getting suspended Digne back though, and that to me makes the difference so a Leeds win for me here.

Don't forget there's a game on tonight between Palace and Newcastle. Many people seem to miss these sneaky Friday night games and 21 users still need to make their picks for it. It's not a game I'll be watching either way. Got a draw written all over it for me. Chelsea/Spurs is the game to watch for me this week. I might go with the Arsenal/Wolves match as well.
I feel like all 3 of those games could end up as tight draws, or one-sided. I picked with some hesitation a Newcastle slight upset on betting, Palace are the type of team who know how to snatch a win (Zaha's always good for a goal) but Toon Army need points on the road...
Might be watching whatever I can get this weekend. Spurs/Wolves seems like a probable big win. Hope to get some good points if I pick these games well.
Yeah, I've gone for a couple of draws on them. Annoyingly I had 0-0 on last nights game and then Newcastle went and scored at 88 minutes then another two minutes later. 0-0 are always scores you can get a decent lead on points from as it's by far the least picked score, though four others did go for it as well on that game.
Predictions submitted, I only just remembered, there’s a game tonight too so I nearly messed up there 
Aiming for that yellow hat this weekend, if everybody could have an awful week that’d be great

Three people missed it in the end. Only six people backed the away win so not a bad loss overall.

I just submitted my picks as well, I initially had Newcastle to win 0 - 1, but I'm changing my mind and I've going with the bookies with 2 - 1 Crystal Palace to win, despite Newcastle having Wlison and Jonjo Shelvy ...
I changed my mind a few times too, saw buwaytress predictions on Newcastle in another thread, and I thought it was a really good bet. And then I went for a more conservative draw after reading all the stuff from other analysts, and then finally switched like you to 2-1 which also was what the bookies seemed to think were the most likely outcome.
Guess I should do less research and go with my first instinct!
Sometimes you change them and they come in and sometimes your original choice does, but I tend to stick to my guns unless there's line-up changes.

Yeah! That's quite unfortunate for me, I had such a huge felling with Newcastle, I literally should have followed my gut!
It was fairly an even game, but Newcastle had the better chance in my opinion, so it definitely wasn't an undeserved win for the Magpies!

I've been around long enough to know nothing is guaranteed. $100k by next year is a bit of a stretch and as much as all the institutional money is coming in we can still see collapses the moment people get spooked. Doesn't take much if anything at all to spook people either.
Dude, you’ve been around long enough to know how it works. We have 4 year bear to bull cycles which peak to the bull side 12-18 months post block reward halving.
Look into Stock-To-Flow & some of PlanB’s works (Twitter). We should reach over $100,000 per coin by the end of 2021.
We’re at the very beginning of a bull market, institutional money is flowing in, fiat currencies are like a massive iceberg that are melting. Covid has destroyed economies, debt is at an ATH. People need to put their money somewhere else, the smart money is in bitcoin & precious metals. We are nowhere near average joe’s FOMO’ing in yet.

Mixed round for me. I was the only one who got the full points for Liverpool-Leicester but that's not as valuable as getting 3 right scores (for the bonus slam points). Dropping down 7 places isn't so terrible though, might switch strategy to aim for a weekly cap am even considering switch my la liga picks to EPL to see if magic happens;)
I had an acceptable week with 11 points, congratulations to Ulwen though who smashed it out of the park to win the yellow hat with 15 points.
Who has the highest weekly round score so far (for one round - the best yellow hat?)
As for me, it was the best round so far with 12.5 points and two times when I picked the score correctly. Like others, I have good and bad rounds, but I think it's slowly getting better overall over time. Interestingly enough, this time I spent the least time to make the predictions. It might be that it's indeed better not to overthink it, but it could also be a coincidence, of course. I guess I'll try different approaches again to see what works better for me. I hope the next round will be a pleasant one.

As you can see the prizes now look a lot better than they were when we started the season. They’ll be at least double that again by May.
Good luck everybody.
What makes you think that by May? Could just as easily plummet. We've seen both happen during the pools. Think one year the price went up significantly and another it was during the massive crash.

It really is a great week for me I managed to get my first yellow hat,And now I'm planning to get a second hat 
In fact, this season is difficult to predict the outcome of the EPL matches. I wish the participants good results in the remaining courses
The best round is a 7 for jermypwr with 16.5 points.

You have the target on your back now for everybody to chase haha
16.5 points nice, I’m sure last year somebody got 21 points in one week or something. CL on tonight but we return to do battle this weekend

The prizes above don't have anything to do with Sportsbet as I will be issuing them, but the prizes are fixed in bitcoin so first place at 0.1BTC is probably a decent chunk of change for the winner. Hard to do this season given we've got about 50 users but will be interesting towards the end of the season when the race becomes tighter, and hopefully bitcoin will be worth more than it is today which will make it even more so.
Don't forget there's a game on Friday as people seem to miss them ones.

Thanks for the reminder. I put in my picks early. Feeling quite frustrated that I dropped out of the race for top 10,,, I know it is only 9 games in so we are exactly 25% of the way but I always feel I perform better at the beginning:)
Looking forward to one week winning the cap, at least get back the entry fee!
