FHG = First Half Goal
SHG = Second Half Goal
LTD = Lay The Draw
LCS = Lay Current Score

[Stephen Hancox]

Same again for Europa league tonight, I'll likely monitor from HT onwards and see where the jeopardy is....

[Shannon Townsend]

@Andy-Donnelly Laying the draw and letting it run in all group games where draw price was below 4 would have made you nice profit... seems like teams really go for it in the new format.

Saw a youtube video floating around about backtesting being nearly there... got a date for us @Martin

No date specifically but Beta is about 99% ready

[Ryan]

@Alex-Rendell 100% always!!

[Alex Rendell]

@Ryan Alisson's header was better though, right?!

[Ryan]

@Andy-Donnelly I love the new format, I know the old format was loved etc... but it allowed teams to coast through, like Real Madrid for example they could basically coast all season till Feb then get serious, where as now its like oh now you gotta turn up.... I think it's great!

That Benfica goalkeeper wow

[Stephen Hancox]

@Andy-Donnelly It took some patience, but 2nd half I saw PSV, Ajax, Napoli and Bilbao games all drawing and goals were needed for qualification, some great LTD opportunities there.

[Andy Donnelly]

Whether you are a fan of these new European formats or not, the last day makes for great trading opportunities. Albeit a small sample size, the last days of last season and this, have been great for SHG particularly for games when both teams need to win. Will be looking for opportunities tonight at HT. Expect there will be quite a few

[Alex Rendell]

@Shannon-Townsend Looks like next week for the beta testing if today's email is anything to go by

@Richard-Latimer Agreed! I still dont think united will be back they are still united and theres a fair bit of work to do yet... they'll likely get champs league.

[Richard Latimer]

@Ryan amazing goals but we beat ourselves yesterday. Painful.

[Ryan]

@Richard-Latimer I dont know its still united lol

[Richard Latimer]

My gloating looked much better before yesterday. Man Utd becoming a more serious proposition again is just so annoying

[Ryan]

@Richard-Latimer Not looking likely at this rate, they should have put Burnley, Leeds and Sunderland away and thats and extra 6 points which would have had them sitting better.

@Akiva-Anderson Majorly! I still think they might bumble their way to 5th and get champs league though.

@Ryan what about Liverpool? Will they manage to get champs league football next year?!

@Akiva-Anderson Majorly! I still think they might bumble their way to 5th and get champs league though.

@Akiva-Anderson Have Ineos had any real success in any of their sporting ventures? Glazers have played a blinder tho. Still majority owners and leave ineos to take most of the heat

Cycling, I think. That Swiss team that they own got promoted under them, but both Nice and United are awful. The Glazers would be mad to give up United, I'm sure they will at some stage, but it's the family piggy bank for years
