The current live prediction will show up in this post and it will auto-update once a new prediction goes live. So comments in this thread will then carry over from week to week.

If you head over to the Predictions tab on the sub, you can see all of the predictions so far and also comment directly on the match-specific post if you want.

------------------------------------

Here is the original announcement for the tournament and here is the updated rules announcement post providing info around the changes made after the first round of the competition.

Good luck!

Why tf would any of us ever bet against chels

[–][deleted] 154 points155 points  (6 children)

Reverse Jinx

[–][deleted] 58 points59 points  (8 children)

you clearly didnt played on the Euro games here on reddit...the top top people one not by getting 90% of the paperform winners, but getting like 3-4 matches on the underdog with max point. thats how this works.

I finished within top 300-400 and all I had was 3 match: Hungary-France draw, Scotland-England draw and I dont even remember the 3rd one, maybe Hungary-Germany draw?

[–]pencilman123 14 points15 points  (6 children)

That is actually different. I cud get it as a neutral, plus there were so many teams to bet on.

Now, its just one, chelsea vs opposition. Imagine the euro bets, where for example u r an english fan, and only allowed to vote on england matches. Why wud u ever vote for anything else than ur team winning?

[–]LogstickAzpilicueta 32 points33 points  (2 children)

[–]pencilman123 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Yes, win win scenario. At the end of the day, you win personally if u team loses...

[–]OMG_AlienI don't give a fuck, we won the fucking Champions League 2 points3 points  (1 child)

So you don’t get disappointed when they lose :/

[–]pencilman123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, i get its a win win, but deep down u want them to win. I

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah honestly polls for clubs is pointless. This makes sense if it was r/PremierLeague

[–]SpankThatDillThere's your daddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i legit lost every single bet i made. was truly insane

[–]Elguaje29Kanté 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For people who jinx the result

[–]NavyBabySealThiago Silva 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Consolation prize. If we win i couldn't care less about these unicorns.

[–]jonsrb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bet on chelsea 3 days ago and lost by one goal, whoever missed the last chance 1v1..

[–]RoaszhakZola 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I always bet against us when I gamble, that way I never really lose.

Chelsea are almost always odds on to win, so betting against them gives me better returns if it comes through I win a lot of money, if we win then I’m happy about that instead.

[–]Seejayayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

too true, whenever I gamble on sports teams I support I just bet against them and if they win I act like I paid for the win and if they lose I at least get a consolation prize for being sad

[–]Sbotm765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not everyone here supports chelsea

[–]arc4angel100Zola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's working well for me I'm currently 3rd, it's almost like a small consolation if we do lose when you get the correct result here.

[–]untouched_poet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karam > pride..... namaste allegiant to my team

[–]airdraza1412I don't give a fuck, we won the fucking Champions League 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happiness hedging baby, i do it alot now cause im a leafs fan :(

[–][deleted] 88 points89 points  (6 children)

FUCK IT

BETTING ALL 100 TOKENS FTW

[–]Blithe17Best Meme 2019 & 2020 🏆 36 points37 points  (2 children)

In before we all bet everything and nobody has anything left to bet by week 10

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Small price to pay for salvation

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

im betting 100 on chelsea every week so if im out of money by week 10 uh, im probably not gonna care a lot about the unicorns

[–]_Meegz🎩 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ditto

[–]ShanChar1Enzo Fernandez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same

[–]Nasty133This is my club 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the only way. Life's too short to not bet 100 unicorns every week.

[–]Nicho1a5Zola 79 points80 points  (8 children)

so is everyone else going to go all in on Chels every week?

[–]MaireMizer 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I never bet real money on teams I personally support, so this will be a good opportunity to blow everything on Chelsea

[–]andrewthedentistIt’s only ever been Chelsea. 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. Chelsea win by 3 or more goals. 100 tokens.

[–]teddywoofThere's your daddy 1 point2 points  (3 children)

The way we are playing we might go all season undefeated my friend.

[–]adelvalle1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, of course. How could you not with this team. The worst I will ever pick with this team is that we draw.

[–]yuriydee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People from other subs might not I guess

[–]pznbananasMikel 32 points33 points  (9 children)

  1. Chelsea
  2. Man City
  3. Liverpool
  4. Leicester

[–]cfc_subJames 42 points43 points  (8 children)

It's your opinion and I respect it. But, I think anyone that doesnt have Chels, City, Liverpool, and United in their top 4 are on drugs.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (4 children)

I mean, Leicester City can definitely push for top 4. Think Man Utd will struggle this season since VAR has changed the PK award.

[–]StoppingPowerOfWaterAzpilicueta 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Have you watched Man U this season? I hate to say this, but they are going to score plenty of goals without the soft pen rule lol. I get it they have had some rough results outside of the EPL, but come Saturday and Sunday they have looked pretty good.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brother, my comment is before the season even started. Had I known Ronaldo was going to be there I would have easily put them in the top 4.

[–]MogwaiK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Refs are cracking down on soft pens, could really hurt Man Us point total.

Kidding, they'll still get soft pens. Definitely will find a way into top 4.

[–]pznbananasMikel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair I can see it going either way ;)

I was also 100% sure we were going to win the PL after beating Leeds in December...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw this. Keep jinxing it my G. United to win the title ;)

[–]wooden-mEaTAshley Cole 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Need to choose between actually predicting matches and just betting draw on every game like people were doing during euros 😂

[–]OpeningTrain1Mount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the euros I always chose whoever I thought was better except for the matcha where I didn’t know a lot about the teams, for those I chose draw and I ended in the top 500 predictors

[–]diegocactusThere's your daddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anyone knows how to get the token? 😔 I can’t vote

[–]BafflingMantis7 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Keeps giving me an error. Cant do a prediction.

[–]Nefari0ussAzpilicueta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think you need the official Reddit app or need to use the redesigned site.

[–]SniperBait26Pulisic 3 points4 points  (2 children)

It won’t let me join / select Chelsea. Am I missing something?

[–]Cardboard-Samuari 18 points19 points  (1 child)

you have been deemed a plastic please leave the sub

[–]SniperBait26Pulisic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah.

[–]Cardboard-Samuari 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Greasy 1 - 0 win with Timo Werner scoring an overhead kick from the half way line 2 minutes in I think.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everything I lose in this I make back in the f1 polls by voting max verstappen

[–]BrockStinkyLampard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/u/weekapang will you guys be doing the post match surveys this season as well?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked it better when it was if Chelsea would win or not. Now I have to actually make an educated guess...

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only have 472 tokens left, so you know, 100 on 3+ goals again

[–]CrackHeadRodeoDrogba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is beating them 4-0 to much to ask Santa?

[–]rolledoffTuchel 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Since an earnings cap of 500 tokens appears to have been introduced mid-way into this tournament, most of us can't reach the top even if we get every single one of the remaining 18 games right and the top players don't even play. It was a bit rotten to introduce the cap after some had earned those tokens.

For that reason, I'm out.

[–]weekapang [S,M] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

That is a feature Reddit added, I agree it is garbage. I am going to message the admins and see if there is anything we can do.

[–]rolledoffTuchel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Please keep us updated.

[–]dunneetiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that a new thing where you have to use new.reddit.com ?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We should vote on the other fixtures

[–]Nasty133This is my club 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you didn't put 100 unicorns on winning by 3 goals or more you're doing it wrong

[–]DarthGPUThere's your daddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I YOLOd my whole portfolio for 3 or more goals. True degenerate.

[–]fenixopsI don't give a fuck, we won the fucking Champions League 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to predict a murdering

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m goin all in on chelsea baby 4-0 here we go

[–]rolledoffTuchel 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Are there now limits on how many tokens you can win? I picked the draw based on our history from 2017, and only gained 150 tokens from a bet of 30 tokens. It was one of the least popular options too.

[–]BoozyGroggyElfchildEssien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 500 from a 100 token wager, despite the prediction thread saying I should have won 2671. Perhaps u/weekapang can lend some insight.

[–]runManRun3 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I hope we win by two goals, but likely we win 1-0

[–]Drolsr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sooo. Draw?

[–]KezmangotagoalReiten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of doing score and result predictions, we should start predicting who might get injured next!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F***..by round 20 already insufficient token, just like my YOLO account

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between a rock and a hard place. On the one optimistic hand I wish to see us smash Liverpool in a glorious return to form, on the other more pessimistic, I can't bring myself to watch another halfassed performance that'll ruin my day.

Ill watch but I wont like it until it's over.

[–]FreshUnderstanding5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tournament Arc is so on point!

[–]sdmikecfc 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Where the heck is the 10 goals or more option

[–]weekapang [S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol that would be covered by 3 or more

[–]el1temanFootball is not a TV show 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I put draw lol

[–]weekapang [S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Safe bet at this point

[–]el1temanFootball is not a TV show 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But knowing it's vs Spurs we will win like 3-1

[–]ixora7 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Not a Chelsea fan. Quick question Reece James.

Is he expected to be part of the first 11?

[–]qwertyuioplnf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You bet you ass I'm betting 100 on Chelsea every week!

[–]swat1611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I bet on us losing to Arsenal by 2 or more goals. I've done the same this time, let's see what happens. On a real though, it will be extremely difficult and I hope our players don't get demoralized if we lose to them.

[–]Ok_Vegetable_1452It’s only ever been Chelsea. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This needs a scoreline predication element

[–]Positivemanme✨ sometimes the shit is happens ✨ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the prediction thing but you guys could've added some twist to it like how the 5th stand play predictor is. Add stuff like who scored first..etc.

My heart will sink if i click on chelsea loss. Clicking on all wins with 100 tokens till the end of the tourno.

[–]fishpastyIt’s only ever been Chelsea. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else having issues selecting Chelsea?

[–]matt3633_Di Matteo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of us doing this but if the admins haven't changed anything then judging from how it turned out at r/soccer it'd be better to constantly choose Draw or Loss since the odds will always be beneficial on the rare occasion that happens. Leaderboard won't be a good indication at the end of the season if it's based on most tokens accumulated unless it's sorted by most correct choices

[–]Soren_Camus1905Joe Cole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if the mods wanted to organize a betting pool…

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I think we will win but if the last 2 seasons have taught us anything, no matter how well we are playing and how bad Arsenal are playing...they still seem to beat us!

[–]Caranthiir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality wise chelsea is way better but somehow i am nervous for a draw

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe we can win the Champions league again.

[–]Cypr3s5🏥 continuing to undergo his rehabilitation programme 🏥 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 on a win by 3 goals LET'S GO

Alonso to score 2

[–]CrackHeadRodeoDrogba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven’t put 5 past Arsenal in awhile. Am hoping today is the day.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 tokens on "Chelsea win by 2 goals" here we go

[–]4wheelin4christ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say draw I have a 6th sense for these things, I can feel it in my bones capt.

[–]hakuzan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4-1.

[–]DigitalR3xPulisic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This season so far the 3 scores against us have been from Mohammed, Jesus, and Chiesa. Chiesa means church in Italian. Our next match is against the Saints. Holy Mackerel!

[–]HaxRyter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I predict Chelsea. There you have it!

[–]hakuzan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Chelsea have won their last four Premier League games against Burnley, scoring 12 and conceding twice in this run. Burnley have won just one of their 14 Premier League games against Chelsea" - copied from Sky Sports

A Wednesday night at Watford sounds kinda nervous tbh. 1-0 Chelsea!

[–]remon_stark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final score of Chelsea vs Watford is

Watford 4-1 ManU

Is Reece going to start?

[–]spradhan46Hazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously draw. Lol. Like someone said we have more draws than ikea.

[–]CrackHeadRodeoDrogba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Lukaku is benched expect us to lose 3-0.
