^ Cool thanks.
Went for a risky 1-1 on the Fulham Spurs game and then Spurs went and got the winner in injury time to screw me over
. I was the only one who went for the draw and then even worse the usual suspects get the full three points putting them further in front. Looks like it's going to be impossible for mid-table users like me to catch up to get into the top five now unless they start to consistently screw up and others do extremely well. I guess all we can hope for it to get some top scores from the rounds in the hope of a consolation prize. Won't be much of a consolation though the amount bitcoin has dropped since we started.
One simply doesn't draw vs Tottenham.
Esp. not a bottom three club threatened to be relegated (after spending a lot on transfers too... Sad to see them go, if they go. 
)
Anyone think it is worth it to predict a Fulham draw?

Betting exactly as I'm predicting today, for a change. Liverpool only a meagre 1.22 so used it to pad up a Wolves/Newcastle parlay to bring it to a fat 5.8 odds. Avoided betting on the other big uns as just want to enjoy them, hopefully we'll see some people slip. Arsenal Chelsea of course means someone has to stumble.
@LFC Enjoy the game brother. I know 1-0 wins are what get champions to where they want to go, but I have good feeling about today and getting a nice victory to keep the machine well oiled.
Put your picks in people!

Looks like you got your win? I was so tempted to bet on Arsenal but seeing them lose recently just made me stay away too, which is too bad because they were 3.5 odds to win.
The weeks are getting lower and lower I think in terms of total points won, with 2 games left even if I get max 6 points, it is only 16 points. Just so tough to catch up, but I'm glad I can get back to climbing the ladder. So much to make up for when I left for holidays. Anyone think it is worth it to predict a Fulham draw?

Hi guys,,, back from a long break. Seems like nothing changes, but the top spot is far, far away,,, I make good picks, I make hasty picks, all the same, and my poor team Spurs gave me hope of being second, but then start to lose the easy games and yes even United was supposed to be easy, but then Mourinho had to go and get himself fired.
Will not give up. Week prize must still be mine!

Looks like I share the yellow hat with hayhay for this week. I still can’t pull away at the top though, so close. panjul is tracking me like a fucking hunter, only 6 points behind in 2nd place & Bitsat won’t piss off either, he’s 9 points off 1st place.

City dominated with a 3-0 win, as you say. Wolves got Boly sent off in the 20th minute - which was a bit harsh considering the challenge - and it was over from then. Possession was 77% to 23%, shots were 24 to 3. The second goal was a penalty and the third was an unlucky headed own goal from a De Bruyne cross. Standard City stuff, but you didn't miss much by not tuning in to be honest. Perhaps the best bit of the game was Ederson getting bored with Wolves' zero shots on target and deciding to play center back for a while - https://streamable.com/na4c8.

Alright, I missed the Liverpool, and Man City games. So, anyone willing to pitch in with their verdict? I know Liverpool only won by 1-0, and that was a penalty, but did they deserve it? Should they have won by more? Man City won pretty convincingly, and I'm sure it was utter domination from their part. Although, I think there was a own goal if I'm not mistaken?
January 14, 2019, 01:34:48 AM
Bah, humbug. I have been improving over the past few weeks, but never enough to break into the big spots. Didn't change my prediction for Chelsea luckily, but should have taken the hedge bet on United... they probably just about deserved to win, De Gea was back to his best, and for once his defence didn't concede a goal. A draw would probably have been the result doing justice to Spurs but it's always these kinds of games they choke up on. Strange that United's never been poorer, and yet Spurs chose this game to lose.

^ I was willing to split the 30 to three different people for fun but Trofo wanted it all. Lol. Now I'm not too sure who's hustling who since Liverpool won a match which I was so sure would end up in a draw.
I am in. 10-30$ is same for me. You chose and accept before the game starts today or we wait until next week.
Ok... I choose City. And let's go for 50/50 since going for 55/45 won't really make that much of a difference (just three bucks. Lol).
And if you want to go 30, then let's go.
Me: City
You: Liverpool
Club that ends with higher points at the end of the season wins the pot.
Quote and confirm. Thanks.
Confirmed 30$.
Since you were a bit generous with the odds it is only fair that I confirm the bet in the halftime of Liverpool match which isn't going so good for them Hope for better performance in the second half and brace for Salah (he is captain in my Fantasy team)
It's on!
Anybody wanna make a 55/45 side bet vs me? I say Man City still ends up with more points than Liverpool by the end of the season.
Nothing big. Just 10 bucks. I can take up to three takers or just one at 30 bucks.

Hope for better performance in the second half and brace for Salah (he is captain in my Fantasy team)Saw this too late as would have taken it of course! Liverpool's just closed the game (thank our stars for the penalty, but fully deserved Salah's always so difficult to shepherd out in the box) so unfair to take the bet now when City's yet to play their game. He REALLY should have got the second goal though, when Milner somehow saved the ball from going out... defender and keeper going wrong way but Salah's bump just flew shy of post. 3 points. 1 game down. Played badly but at least we were trying. Go Reds!
I'm quite in a bad week with predictions so far. Arsenal's loss caught me out of my bets too. Tempted to switch to a Newcastle upset, but Chelsea at Stamford is a Bridge too far for me.

Thank you for the kind words and support. I personally think this thread and forum are more interesting with all the pool discussions. And if you notice, the discussions in the pool thread are of higher quality than the actual discussion thread. I guess mainly because there are those who post there who probably never ever put bets on the game. Different when you have money riding.
Tomorrow's game is the pick of the week, and I'm predicting a Spurs win, because this is United's first real test. I'm still the neutral in this league, so I want top 3 to be tight, and City to maybe even fight for 3rd!

@buwaytress - I read that when everybody else is in the FA Cup 4th round Jurgen will take the team abroad for warm weather training. We have 1 game a week for a while now, it’s how Leicester won the title the other season with a full week of training between every game. Things are looking good but we simply must win today.
Edit - Warm weather training will be in Dubai (whilst everybody else is in the FA Cup playing in the cold)
