@2.08. Why not? Chelsea have been struggling at home with a shaky defence (only 1 clean sheet in the last 5 home games in the league), I could definitely see the Gunners scoring tonight (they failed to score at least one goal only once in the last 5 away games, and three times in the last 11 away games).

I think I'm addicted or something. Wasn't enthused by any of the odds to be honest but still went for a very boring City/Chelski parlay to add on to what I'm almost certain will be another Napoli capitulation in Italy to in-form Lazio (sorry, slightly off topic).

Seriously, if City drop points again, Pep's got to be dropping people and putting on some academy boys! You know, I probably never enjoyed Manchester schadenfreude in football as much as this season (if that's the right way to say it).

@hilarious Amen on the shirt yellows. I love Salah but he knows better than to put himself on the books needlessly. If he really needs to take his shirt off (btw Adebayo's totally begging him to do it in this vid), be like Firminho and wear an undershirt (Bobby got the topless-yellow in Doha after scoring the winner against Flamengo too tho haha).

Good one
2,5 over will be my single too
And what do you thing on the over 2,5 & both to score? Arsenal could score one, why not

I think City, as well as those teams in the top 5 who dropped points last weekend, will be extremely hungry for a win in this Matchweek. I predicted a win for all of them, for the big game tonight I predicted a Chelsea win 3-1. Lampard & Co. better not resuscitate an out-of-form Arsenal  

Btw, odds look pretty good right now: over 2,5 goals @1.90. BTTS @1.85. No bets from me tonight, but either of those would've my been 'single bet of the day'.

More than being a show-off, Ronaldo always try to show superiority complex over Messi. He is always running a race against Messi, don't know if Messi even acknowledges his efforts or not. Messi removed his shirt in the El Classico prior to that one. But Messi was playing at Santiago Bernabeu and match was at 2-2 and he scored in extra time which was his 500th goal. This all justify why he removed his shirt. But the Ronaldo's act was purely envious based and he was rightly punished as he received next yellow card just 2 minutes later and was sent off.

I won't compare Salah's act with Ronaldo's as he removed shirt because of the joy of scoring against Man Utd but that may send negative message to people. It may have looked like Salah was excessively desperate to score. I could have imagined something like that from Lingard who is not able to score even a single goal this season but Salah already have 11 in his basket.  Jokes apart, it is kinda disgraceful for the opponent.

Yep, a lot of draws for me, but not that game. I think Chelsea should win here especially at home.

My first pick was 3:2, now I’m fixed on 2-2
But, you never know what my mind will do until the beginning of the match

I'm sure a few peeps will miss out their picks because of these sneaky midweek games. Another load of largely unexciting games for me and a lot that I can't split again so I've gone for a load of draws. No games I'm particularity excited for but I might watch the Sheff / Man City game just for the potential upset. Anyone backing United to win or to grab a point? I don't think it will be an easy game for City especially away and coming from the draw at Palace this past weekend.  


Remember not to be greedy trying to squeeze out as much as you can from a bet. A lot of people seem to do this with the win and goals scored or over/under etc but I think it just needlessly complicates things and make it very risky and usually only for a little extra in winnings which isn't worth it in my opinion.


I always think it's silly when players do this as they needlessly get a yellow which could cost them a ban at some point. I understand when Ronaldo does it because he's a vain twat and wants to show off his abs, but I kind of expected better for Salah. Imagine if he picks up another yellow and gets suspended which could cost them some point. Keep your shirt on and celebrate as much as you want.



Yep, a lot of draws for me, but not that game. I think Chelsea should win here especially at home.

Another round with some possible draws? Yes why not 
Make your picks, today is a match day

Chelsea vs. Arsenal? Well, here is a chance for a draw, 1-1 or 2-2 is my prediction, still not sure what to pick as a final one

Lol @ tokeweed, you love a cheeky little side bet don’t you?

Just looking at the leaderboard, nice little lead you have there, bastard

Last matchday was weird. First 5 games ended in draw, interesting. However, this matchday confirmed one thing, Liverpool will win Premier League for sure now. Nothing can stop them now, they are winning matches like Unicorn run. It's impossible to stop them. Unlike Manchester City, Liverpool not only rely on attacking. Liverpool got 12 less goals than Man City but defense is superb.

This week we have Chelsea vs Arsenal. I will go with Arsenal. But the biggest game would be Wolves vs Liverpool. Last time Liverpool only managed to score single goal against Wolves and match was at Anfield. But this time Wolves are hosting and they have beaten Man City at home not very long ago. I am tempted to go for Wolves in this game. Let's go for it. After all someone has to take risk why not me. 


LoL, don't know why Salah removed his shirt. It was just Man United, not Real Madrid or Barcelona.

You willing to put a little bet on that?  Nothing big, just 10 bucks.    I'll go against you and bet that Liverpool won't win the CL.

Quote and confirm.

Edit:  Mid week fixtures guys.  Make your picks.  There are a few people who hasn't made their picks yet.

Well I slipped from 17th to 18th, won't complain. Still made progress thanks to 2 lucky exacts. I'm betting on favourites tonight for a change, and keeping Superbru to spring surprises.

Sheffield ONLY 7/1 to beat City... shockingly poor value compared to Palace 27/1 a few days ago, so I totally avoided that. How the betting has gone to the dogs!

@hilarious: yeah, it's really tight margins even if Liverpool have been taking in all their wins and you gotta credit United for taking the risk or we wouldn't have had the second goal. I do know it's stupid to bet on handicaps for Liverpool, even if only to chase 2/1 odds. I've also been taking half-time wins since around Christmas, and it has worked out so far. Trying to predict the team's patterns now, but of course I know it's pure luck with a bit of predictability -- Pool are, according to the stat boys, highly overperforming and are due a huge correction. Well, that correction's been due for 22 games now!

Oh and I also got a Champs League outright on them. Was 9/1 last season and only above 7/1 this one, but yeah, on current form, they're afraid of no team... and all other big boys in Europe don't want to meet them.

What if?
Of course Liverpool will win the Champions League, it’s written in the stars
You just have to said it loud few times and you’ll see that it sounds perfect

Guys, remember to submit your predictions for this week. I just realized Matchweek 24 starts tomorrow! And we even have a London derby!     

I love Salah's face when he sees Allison, it was mix of: thanks for the assist, bro + how the hell did you get here so quickly!??..Beautiful moment 

I never bet these. Far too hard and too much to expect of the team even if it's Liverpool. The odds are never that great as well and often all it will take is one goal from the opposition to screw it up and that wasn't far off yesterday. You've always got to account for penalties also.


Well I hope so. I put a bet on them to win them both before the season started. The CL isn't going to be as easy as the PL though and there's a long way to go. I think they're probably one of the favourites but it's a different story when you start coming up against some of the European bad-boys but Liverpool are probably playing better than most of them right now.


Lol. I still love how Allison was the first player to reach him.

Check this out guys

Make sure you have sound on.

^  What if they win the CL again.  OMFG.

Weird weekend overall but I'm glad the LFC vs United fixture got me an exact score to help me get a little push. 

Another incredible Liverpool performance. I don't remember going into a game vs United as confident as into this one and the game should have been over by half-time.

Ultimately United could have caused some problems and missed 2 sitters but I always had a feeling we would have scored another if they drew. The title is here, boys!

I never rated him much, but I especially didn't like him after the disrespect he showed Sarri last season (can't remember the game now but that kind of attitude, I can't tolerate in football). I know personalities don't got much to do with football on the field itself, but it's part of the team psychology, if you got a player like that, you know he's not all for the team and that just tells me he won't be there when needed most. He definitely let Lamps and co down.

@Pamoldar well I didn't do too well either, but I hit the sweet spot with 2 exact picks. Again, the problem with that is I keep playing like this and I won't get those precious slam points.

@hilarious: Yeah Salah saved me a lot of parlays as I stupidly added Liverpool to win by 2 goals (to get more than 2/1 odds). I actually thought before the stats confirmed it that the last time I saw that goal was from Pepe Reina (who's just joined Villa).

@the guys in the side bets. I'm not throwing my money or tempting the fates by betting on Liverpool to go unbeaten. Besides, the odds aren't good enough. Might as well bet it on every Liverpool game til end of season. Would probably end up with x10 if you did that for the remaining 16 games!

Man! What is going on with me? I got only 4.5 points in this round. From last few constitutive rounds I am doing my worse. Losing my top position and I can not help it. I got only 2 right pick out of 10 matches. Damn it!



Last minute score from Salah made me lucky too. I had a bet for Liverpool to score over 1.5 goals. I was thinking in this match we will see Liverpool a score of 3 -1 for Liverpool. There were chance but luck did not favor.

I think Liverpool will win rest of the matches (all of them without any draw) but still having a pool not including draw will be very risky for those who will bet in favor of Liverpool. I am in a fence if I should update it or not LOL.

I think I can since no one yet bet for no defeat or even no draw except me for no defeat. But again too risky.

Anyway if I hear from few more people about including draw too then I will consider to change it to:

Liverpool will not lose any point in rest of the reason:
Yes
No
Depending on the response LOL or the original stands. Guys the last time to join will be, before the next match to start (against Wolves).
