I'm the idiot backing Villa. They did overperform in League Cup, or was that Leicester underperforming? The only reason I think they have a chance is of all their injuries, they actually still got Grealish, and they could bring up a couple of youngsters to fill in... so new formation, pace, that City might not be prepared for. Of course, I know it's an idiot bet, but then so was Norwich vs City;)
They better win too, my position's slipped to 19th!
P.S. Didn't dare say it before but we've finally broken City's record for best start ever. Best in Europe's top 5 too. It'll need someone to win the first 21 games of a season to top Liverpool!
PPS Look at Watford go, phwoar!

Ehh, guys, what the hell is up with Southampton? 
Not too long ago they were sitting at the bottom of the league table, now they're playing like Cruyff's Netherlands in the 70's!?? 
They beat Chelsea, they beat Spurs, and now Leicester. Impressive. And Danny 'the goalscoring machine' Ings, what a beast!
I didn't watch the game but, looking at the stats, that win wasn't a fluke, looks to me like the Saints absolutely trashed the Foxes! I wonder what were the odds for such a win? 5/1? 7/1?

Yup. Hasenhuttl is a decent manager and did a great job on getting Ings back in form. Klopp should've given him more time after his injury imho.
Anyway... Looks like I'm one of the wooden spoon candidates this week. Lolol.

Don't know if you guys seen it but there was another add by the side of the pitch for Bitcoin exchange. I forgot the name but it doesn't matter, BTC has started next phase of global adoption trough sports, namely Premier League.
I haven't noticed it today, but I remember seeing add of one decentralized exchange during La Liga game, but I can't remember their name. I think it's only matter of time when we will see more crypto services (mainly gambling websites) advertising on sports events, following Sportsbet.io path.
Anyone backing City to lose or draw tomorrow?
Villa are fighting to stay out of the relegation zone which they could be in tomorrow depending on the result of the Bournemouth / Watford match.
Villa is very inconsistent teams, but personally, I don't see them making upset against City.
I think about backing Watford tomorrow, they have improved their results recently, while Bournemouth is awful without any good signs.

Two games down and two exact scores for me.
What more you could expect. Few weeks ago tomahawk9 had the same and I think they ended up being the round leader on that round. You have pretty good chance to be the one in this round if your rest of the picks speaks for you.Another two correct scores along with a couple of correct outcomes has me leading this weeks round with 15 points. If I get the scores of the last two games of this round correct that will take me to the top of the yellow cap leader board, but I doubt I'll get them both. Gone for a risky score on the Bournemouth / Watford game.
Anyway, Chelsea seems very comfortable. Can Leicester get a win from here?
Leicester fucked my accumulator. Nobody backed the Southampton win or even the draw.
Big congrats to Liverpool once again. They are really unstoppable this season. There was some signs of fatigue in after 60 minutes today but even then Liverpool had luck on their side or maybe to put it better Spurs players didn't have the concentration to to score the goal.
Yeah, I said it would be close. If Kane would have played I'd have probably gone for a 1-1. Luckily enough I was the only person to go for the 0-1.

Edit: Two down.
BitSat19 got 2/2 so far!
I have only 1/2. Aubameyang off course.
tomahawk9 got 1/2 too.
Anyway, it seems last night I was right that the match will end up with 1 -0 goal for any side. McBurnie was lucky to get that ball because of Fabianski's mistake. Or we would even see a 0 - 0 draw. I did not watch last 25/30 minutes but was following the scores and when I saw a score for West Ham in the last minutes, I was like damn(!) I am going to not having any point again in the pool but not sure for what reason the goal was cancelled; I was like well good for me LOL.
Pamoldar you have to share the reasons one day for this BitcoinGirlClub thing. You're not catfishing anyone are you?
Lol. He explained here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53559575
Anyway, 2- 1 on Arsenal for me please.
January 11, 2020, 03:00:30 PM
We were a bit lucky to get a win today, but that first 60 minutes were amazing. Tottenham could not get a touch of the ball and they are last year's CL finalists and a really good pressing team.
20 wins out of 21 games and combined with last season it's more than 30 games with only 1 draw and all other wins. Truly remarkable, unrealistic.

There were few good chances for them towards the end of the match but Lo Celso managed to miss unmissable and Son should have finished much better.

My FJM is dead now.
As I was expecting hilariousetc is having a massive round with 12.5 points so far. Following him hahay, DeathAngel, LTU_btc are also having massive round. I got only 5.5 points on the other hand. Not doing well from last couple rounds. I am really disappointed with the result of Leicester and Wolves. Leicester losing the match lost me a 6 fold too which could have a win for me if I would not have them in my slip. Very surprising win for Southampton.
Did you guys notice that top three has one points gap with each others?
And LFC_Bitcoin with hilariousetc and other two are big threat too for the topper, specially LFC_Bitcoin.

I am too not much into meta but yes WO is my place. In fact my interest are WO and Football LOLAnyway, Chelsea seems very comfortable. Can Leicester get a win from here?

So I'm held to another draw. Palace actually got lucky with that goal, though I think still they should have really gone for it after the Auba red (which was deserved, even if it was an accident... if you have to use Mane's red 2 seasons ago as the benchmark for non-deliberate tackles).
@hilarious I'll give it a go at some point for sure. Maybe the next big event where generosity is the flavour of the day heh. Amazing second exact score in a row, btw, well done!
Kaneless Spurs actually makes it riskier because if Mou is Mou, he'll want to try and frustrate!

Two games down and two exact scores for me. I was going to say I felt pretty confident this week but I didn't want to look an idiot when I got them all wrong . I've gone for all home wins on the 3 o'clock kicks off today and I'm not expecting many surprises if any. I just hope my Chelsea/Leicester/Everton acca comes in (though I've also gone with the same and an Everton draw instead as that's the game I'm shaky about). Liverpool shouldn't have any trouble with a Kane-less Spurs on the evening fixture but I don't know if that game will be too easy for them, but I could be wrong.

Good picks. And you already got one right.. I'd pick Salah over Mane tho. There was a small window when he wasn't getting the goals in but he's back imo.

A boring first half. I do not see in this match we will find any excitements at all. We can expect a 1 - 0 win for any team or a draw with either a 0 - 0 or a 1 - 1. I do not see any 2 - 0 or a 2 - 1 win for Sheffs. I gone with 2 - 1 for Sheffs and it seems I made a wrong decision. I hope I am wrong here, at least 1 or 1.5 points from this match would be nice.
And it ended 1:0. Snodgrass scored on 92 minute and made result 1:1, but goal was cancelled after VAR review. It's good for me, because I got 1.5 point on Superbru
.Well off to a good start as I got that score spot on. I was gutted when I got the notification that West Ham had equalised in injury time and was praying for a var cancellation as often happens these days and it happened haha. It was quite harsh watching the hightlights. The defender headed the ball onto the attackers hand and it was given as handball. It was ball-to-hand really and it's not like he purposely controlled it: https://youtu.be/bxtU_ppPjkk?t=135
What on earth you can change usernames? Because buwaytress was a nonsense name that didn't mean anything at all, I made the account never once thinking I'd end up getting so hooked to Bitcoin and bct! =D So hard explaining to people what my name actually means (nothing) and that I don't speak tagalog (since apparently buway means "instability" to them).
Speak to theymos about it, but it's rare that he changes them and I was surprised by this one and even I didn't realise it at first and thought he was some randomer. I think being able to change your name should come as a perk of a new donator rank. I think that would be quite popular. I'm sure a lot of people dislike their names here and were chosen on the spot. I don't mind mine but I wanted one that I hadn't used anywhere else for privacy reasons.

Back to business: My 2-0 Sheffield pick lucky. West Ham should really have drawn this one. Still at 17th. I went for more than a couple of upsets this round... hoping FA cup fever slows down some of the favourites (except Liverpool who played their 12-yr olds haha).
3 games this weekend have an underdog with over 10/1 odds of beating Chelsea, United or City (odds I got from a couple of days ago on Fairlay, bookies have all adjusted down now). Gotta say Norwich at 12/1 isn't exactly an upset right? Still thinking =p

Next season we should have a higher stakes league, winner takes all (as well as the normal pool). It would make things a lot more fun for the high ballers.
I'm not against higher stakes, I would agreeto pay something like £50. But I think it's better to more interesting to have more players with current stakes, than less participants with higer stakes. And I don't think that winner takes all isn't good idea. Many players just would lose interest, because they will see that they have no chances to win. For example, probably I won't win this pool, but I still can reach top 5 to get prize for it.A boring first half. I do not see in this match we will find any excitements at all. We can expect a 1 - 0 win for any team or a draw with either a 0 - 0 or a 1 - 1. I do not see any 2 - 0 or a 2 - 1 win for Sheffs. I gone with 2 - 1 for Sheffs and it seems I made a wrong decision.

Next season we should have a higher stakes league, winner takes all (as well as the normal pool). It would make things a lot more fun for the high ballers.
I wouldn't mind upping the stakes a bit but I don't want to price people out either and I want as many people to join as possible and hopefully the pool will grow over the years. Roughly £25 in bitcoin isn't much but doubling it or more might make many others pass. As Trofo said, I did initially see if anyone wanted to join a higher stakes pool but there wasn't that much interest or enough where I thought it would be worth it. I also don't really want to do a winner takes all. I think it's better having multiple prizes so a lot of people still have a chance of winning something. Hopefully we can get more sponsorship money as well with next pools.
I love this idea and will go with this in next season
I'll consider it. Maybe the winner could get the extra cash then choose whether to buy the hat or spoon themselves so nobody has to give their address out. I can't imagine many people would want to buy the wooden spoon though and don't know if I want to reward someone with cash for doing very badly haha.
