This is painful to type out... not because I've continued my bad form, but because I've lost to @betman in such a fashion that he won't let me live it down for a while. What went wrong?
Arsenal 2 - 1 Burnley
Close, but no cigar. Arsenal did won but they failed to cover the handicap. On the other hand, Burnley showed that they'll be a dangerous side this season. Not to be underestimated.
[LOST] My Bet: Arsenal -1.5 @2.040
Everton 1 - 0 Watford
Everton continues to struggle with scoring. They won, but not in a way I predicted.
[PUSH] My Bet: Everton -1 @2.410
Brighton 1 - 1 West Ham
West Ham surprised us all and got a point from this match.
[LOST] My Bet: Brighton @2.580
Norwich 3 - 1 Newcastle
This one I called correctly. Norwich were up to the task and got a nice win.
[WON] My Bet: Norwich @2.250
Aston Villa 1 - 2 Bournemouth
The hosts gifted to the visitors two easy goals early on and then chased the result the rest of the game. They did play well, but when you make such stupid mistakes inside the first 15 minutes of the match you can't expect to do well.
[LOST] My Bet: Aston Villa @2.320
Southampton 1 - 2 Liverpool
Southampton did impress me in this match. They played very well, but I did read this game correctly and yet lost the bet. How so? The Liverpool's goalkeeper was impressed by the home side's performance, too, and being a generous lad decided to gift them a goal. What a plonker!
[LOST] My Bet: Liverpool -1.5 @2.360
Manchester City 2 - 2 Tottenham
Impressive Spurs against a so so Manchester City. Didn't see this one coming.
[LOST] My Bet: Manchester City -1.5 @2.040
Sheffield United 1 - 0 Crystal Palace
The first win for the home team and the signs of a very long and frustrating season for the visitors.
[LOST] My Bet: Crystal Palace +0 @2.110
Chelsea 1 - 1 Leicester
A very impressive Leicester against Chelsea that can play for about 20 minutes before running out of gas
[WON] My Bet: Leicester +0.5 @2.230
Wolves 1 - 1 Manchester United
Wolves made a mistake by starting defensively. You don't do that against this Man United. All they needed was one mistake, one small opening and Martial scored. A much better performance (by both sides) in the 2nd half and a rather entertaining game.
[PUSH] My Bet: Wolves +0 @2.410
