Afternoon Reddit, it's been a while! First, I would like to thank the mods for allowing me to launch OddAlerts on this sub back in June. It helped me establish a core base of 10/15 users that gave invaluable feedback during those early days! I posted semi-regular updates whilst the site was being built up until September and I would now like to share a general update with you all and get some more feedback from the community.
Card & Referee Stats
As I mentioned in one of the very first posts, stats will always be free. In October I added detailed card stats for all teams, and at the start of this year, I launched a page just for referees. It lets you view the game history for thousands of officials. If you bet on cards, I would love some feedback on this page. Referee Stats: https://oddalerts.com/referees
Filters & Backtesting
Filters is probably the feature I am most proud of, and the feature that has taken the longest time to develop and further refine. It allows you to set up complex filters using hundreds of possible combinations to find the games you're looking for. An example might be these stats if I was looking for 1H Goals:
Away Team Concedes 0.7+ P1H (A)
Home Team Scores 0.7+ P1H (H)
+0.5 1HG % >= 70% (A)
+0.5 1HG % >= 70% (H)
I have abbreviated the rules there, but you can view them here: https://oddalerts.com/filters/Ti5Em0ak This filter actually has a hit rate of 80%, and that hit rate comes from a recent update. Filter tracking.
The Planner
Probably the most requested feature from Reddit and Twitter, the ability to set a single alert on many games at once. This is available for free and was launched in October.
Card Availability Alerts
Thanks to feedback, the general alert feature soon included availability alerts. This will notify you when a game of your choosing has landed on Bet365. Since this launched I have been adding specific markets to this feature and you can now be notified when any card market is added, or when any specials market is added.
12 Days of Features
This was mental, and a lot of fun. From December 1st to December 12th, I set out to ship something new on the site. It's amazing what we can achieve when we set (almost impossible) targets! I logged this journey on YouTube if you would like to see me sporting a Santa hat! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sov0vXv0rCg&list=PL-3kfcpFA4hbWvxH20b6aeJu_WJJWD2QY
New UI
I designed and introduced the "Stats Scroller". This allows you to view stats for hundreds of fixtures intuitively. This was a hit, and soon after it launched (thanks to feedback) I allowed editing of these stats scrollers, so you can show just the stats that you care about. There's also default stat scrollers you can show, like: 1H Goals, FT Result, BTTS, etc. Selecting these scrollers will show you the key stats for that market.
Feedback
As I mentioned at the start of this post, I have recently made the move to work on OddAlerts full time, and I am loving every second of it. If you feel in any way that this website could benefit your betting flow, or if you have any feedback for me, please get in touch. View All Updates: https://oddalerts.com/updates
Does everyone check their bet outcomes, or trust the bookie to be accurate?
I stopped full-time gambling about 5 years ago because bookies suspended / restricted my accounts and just made it too hard to get a decent return on my time. So I have a healthy disdain for bookies and their tricks to keep your money. So now I just place a few smart bets a night on a few sites that haven't shut me down - very low key, nothing to draw attention. But I checked the other day and Bet365 hadn't paid out on a bet that I thought had come in. I hit their live chat, they corrected it after an hour and sent an apology by email. Then it happened again last night. Now, to be fair, I bet on NBA player props and the live stat keeping is not flawless. As part of an accumulator, I bet on De'Aaron Fox failing to get a double double. When the game ended, he had 10 assists, but the assist with 4 minutes to go was mis-attributed so a few hours later, the total went back down to 9. But I still had the bet marked down as a loss. Again, I got them to give me my winnings (and the interesting thing was that I hedged the bet in-game (Bet365 does in-game player props ❤️) and that paid out....... and Bet365 didn't go back and mark that as a loss. Anyways, moral of the story. Check revised stats. Check the betting history 👀
Hello, i am not sure if this is allowed in here, but i decided to take my chance. I am looking to buy verified betting accounts with losing history, mostly looking for accounts in bet365, pinnacle, 1xbet, marathon, unibet. PM me if you are interested, if you somehow have vip limits upgraded to any of the bookies i mentioned, i can give you pretty good offer. Thank you for reading.

Greetings for all. I had a telegram group where i share 'fixed matches'. There were around 25 people in it, some of them made profits, some of them couldn't. But so many of them gave me tons of headache. They were showing me some coupons they've made, they were complaining about my loses, sharing any other opinions etc. First let me tell you what i do. First, i copy all of day's matches pre-start odds on excel. And then i compare each one of them among the all popular betting websites and Turkish national betting website. I'm 32 years old and i've never watched a football game from start till the end. I don't like football, i don't like to talk about football, i don't like the people who has strong passion about football. I believe %80 of the matches are fixed. Betting industiry became so big in the last years, big guys doesn't want to leave this industiry to 22 players hands. Otherwise wouldn't be so easy? Put Liverpool, Barca and Bayern on the same coupon, bet 1k usd and double up. I'm %100 sure, professionals like me thinks the same way. I believe betting according to odds instead of the teams, team's position in its league, injured players etc is way way more profitable. Just think about the last Liverpool - West Bromwich match. What did Liverpool lose? They are still 3 points ahead. But just think how much did they get by setting up that match. Also search Liverpool's historty for how many other set-up matches like this. And one another thing, they are trying to keep first 1-2-3-4-5th team's points close to heat up competition. More competition means more bets, more money for bookies etc. Anyway, i want to keep it short but there are tons of topics to discuss. What i'm saying is, im not a regular better. I always bet according to odds, trying to find these kind of set-up matches and i have straight rules to keep me tight. So what happened to the group? Why did it fail? There are 2 things u MUST control in betting. 1- Bankroll management, 2- Your greed. If you lose any of them, you will fail. I'm just a stranger for my clients in that group, trying to share so-called 'fixed matches' I share 4+ odd, they bet big and it fails. Then i share +4 odd, they bet big (this time with frustiation) and it fails again. Then i share one more +4 odd but this time they think that im a scammer and they don't bet it or bet less. This one hits this time, but they couldn't make any profit. And after they complaining, i'm afraid to share +7 odds when i see any. If that +7 hits, i can't explain how much i got tilted. So, i don't want to deal with 25+ people. My aim is to get 5 people till the next friday. What these 5 people must do is: 1- Cash-in exactly 100 euros on their betfair or bet365 accounts. 2- They must bet exactly the amount that i told. 3- They can't bet on their own, this is not gambling, this is business. 4- They must show me every bet when they did it. 5- They must show me how much they've got in the account, or their betting history when i ask. 6- They must be ready to bet as soon as i share the match because all the matches are live. (Weekdays between 7-11 pm, Weekends between 4-11 pm) 7 -They must send me 50 euros whenever their bankroll reaches 500 euros (first 4 cash-outs. Then 100 euros when it reaches 500). Cash-out 350 euros, put it into their pockets, and continue with the left 100 euros. If one of these rules is broken, deal is off. And you may think that 100 euros is too much for 400 euro profit. Because i know you smart guys gonna create another account and bet bigger in there as soon as you see this is working like a clock. You pay me 50 euros for the first 4 cash-outs, and then 100 euros. You follow my rules. Rest, you can do whatever you want. You can sell my matches, share them with your friends (for a percentage etc) i dont care. One another thing, My matches are not %100. There are %100 matches out there yes, believe me. But there is almost no chance for us to get them. Their prices usually +5k usd. But even if you pay that money, you can't be sure whatever you do. My offer is a long running business. I can't make you rich in 2 weeks. And last of all, why am i doing this? If i'm this sure that i'll win, why im not doing it myself? Guys im living in Turkey where 1 euros is 9.5 liras. And betting is illegal in Turkey. Because of the our lovely goverment, i can't even login into any betting websites (yes i've tried vpn, tor, paid vpn, dns, etc) and even if i can login, i can't create any accounts. There are only illegal betting websites in Turkey, But i got scammed 43k Liras (around 4.7k euros) total last year. So i need a %100 SAFE platform like betfair and bet365. And this 5 people is gonna provide it to me. So why are they putting the first 100 euros by themselves? You put it? Guys i've spent 3 years for this. There are 3 monitors in front of me, searching for bugs among 10-15 websites all the time. My job is to do this hard work, your job is to invest that first 100 euros. If you think im a kind of scammer, GREAT NEWS! YOU ARE SMART! And smart people also knows there are none easy money in the world without any risks. The risk you take is the possibility of losing that 100 euros. Now just sit and try to calculate what and how much are you gonna win if it works? my telegram is @ xhonobia. Cheers and good luck for all.

K-pop, K-drama, K-lit (or "K-literature" if you want to be decent), K-beauty... things that start with K are pretty popular these days[.]() But can any of them really compare with K League? Contents:

How to follow
Why watch
Here comes the marketing spiel. If you follow K League, you'll get throw-ins like THIS, headers like THIS, and epic knee-slides like THIS. Are you not entertained? The best practical reason for following it is that you can get live football at a time of day when there's not much other football on - afternoons in East Asia, mornings in UK and Europe, and evenings or nights in the Americas. It's also a summer league, so you'll never have to go without club football from ~June-August again. The highly scientific and not-at-all-questionable IFFHS rankings also has K League as the best league in Asia by quite some bit, and the 20th best league in the world. If the 20th best league sounds like something you might be interested in, carry on reading. If not, also carry on reading.
2020 season recap
I started writing a separate 2020 season recap, but I didn't get past a gif of Jesse Pinkman shouting "He can't keep getting away with it!", where in this case "he" is Jeonbuk and "it" is winning the league. However, I've now some time to compose myself, so here goes my mini summary. First some "best of" videos
The reason I wanted to scream like Jesse is that Jeonbuk just weren't that good - they regularly dropped points to teams in the lower half of the table, scraped wins, and played most of the season without a competent striker. This feeling that Jeonbuk were a bit pants was verified when Jeonbuk were knocked out of the Champions League at the group stage for the first time in ages. So why couldn't anyone take advantage of that? The answer lies in Ulsan. Ulsan lost out on the 2019 league title on the tiebreaker of a single goal scored, and there was real determination to get it done in 2020. In 2020 Ulsan were great. They spent the majority of the season at the top of the table, were crowned champions of Asia in an unbeaten run, and only lost to two teams all year. Unfortunately, one of those teams was Jeonbuk, and they lost to them three times in the league. If Ulsan could have justdrawn ONCE, they would have won their first league title since 2005. But they didn't. They came runner-up, trailing Jeonbuk by 3 points. To rub salt into the wound, they also lost to Jeonbuk in the FA Cup final the week after the league finished. As for everyone else, in order of finishing:
Pohang were good but not good enough. They did score the most goals out of everyone though.
Sangju Sangmu got their highest finish ever, and could have got Champions League football for 2021 if it weren't for them technically disbanding at the end of 2020 and reforming anew as Gimcheon Sangmu.
Daegu sneaked into a Champions League spot, in what will be their second appearance following their 2019 debut.
Gwangju exceeded all expectations
Gangwon didn't meet expectations, but they did the double over Jeonbuk which makes them absolute heroes in my book.
Suwon Bluewings were terrible until they sacked their moron of a manager, and when the replacement was finally hired they looked quite good.
FC Seoul went through one manager and two or three caretakers and looked rubbish under all of them.
Seongnam almost threw it away in the final run of games but held on and deservedly stayed up for another year.
Incheon were considered relegated by most halfway through the season - because they hadn't even won a single game by then - so the fact that they weren't come the end of the season is a miracle.
Busan were kind of meh all season, and when relegation looked possible their manager simply gave up and resigned instead of sticking around to fight it out. They got relegated.
From K League 2 Jeju bounce back after just one year, possibly thanks to promotion specialist Nam Ki-il, and Suwon FC won promotion with literally the last kick of the season to ensure we'll see a Suwon Derby again in 2021. Also since it was the "big thing" in 2020, I'll give a small mention to coronavirus. Due to an abundance of caution, crowds were absent for most of the season, but not a single positive case among K League 1 clubs occured, which is just incredible.
The off-season
AFC Champions League
After the domestic season was finished, there was the small matter of almost an entire Champions League campaign to play in Qatar. There were 4 teams representing K League. FC Seoul arrived at the competition with yet another caretaker manager, this time it was a scout from their backroom staff because they couldn't find anyone else with the correct coaching license that the AFC requires. They continued their domestic form and went home early, finishing 3rd in their group. Jeonbuk also finished 3rd in their group. In their defence they did have a lot of their usual starting XI missing, but the Jeonbuk of yesteryear would have still managed. They just weren't very good in 2020. Suwon Bluewings were perhaps the darkest horse at the tournament, and despite turning up with an all-Korean squad and without their captain, showed a will to scrap for every single ball and a self-confidence that was quite terrifying. They played in what was my personal favourite game of the tournament, a win over the then-reigning J.League champions Yokohama FM which included a lob from the halfway line. Unfortunately they had to play the majority of their next game with 10 men. They still pushed it to penalties, but didn't get lucky. If you count a loss on penalties as a draw, they still left Qatar unbeaten. Ulsan... well they won it. Well done them. Their manager headed into the competition knowing he wouldn't have a job afterwards regardless of outcome, but they still bossed it. They lifted the trophy undefeated for only the second time in the competition's history. The first team that did it was themselves, in 2012.
Club World Cup
During Ulsan's rebuild, they had to jet off to Qatar again to fight for the title of champions of the universe. Literally half of the players who played in the Champions League final in December did not make the return trip to Qatar, either due to injury or having left the club, and the manager and 5 players were making their debut for the club. Expectations were not high, and they met those expectations by losing to Tigres and Al-Duhail. However, the trip wasn't totally pointless, as they managed to score this offside [goal that some said was Puskas-worthy]().
Transfers
The transfer window followed the familiar pattern of the previous season's best talent leaving for richer (but not necessarily better) leagues abroad, and an influx of Eastern Europeans with exotic names. One notable pair of transfers is Seongnam's signing of forwards Park Yong-ji and Sergiu Bus. Will they be any good? Who knows. But the prospect of Park and Bus playing up front is the reddit comedian's wet dream. Considering they came within touching distance of the league 2 seasons in a row and were just crowned champions of Asia, Ulsan are undergoing a massive rebuild. The new coach has minimal club coaching experience, and hasn't managed for over three years, but is apparently getting rid of anyone over the age of 30. Among the departures, captain Shin Jin-ho went to their East Coast Derby rivals Pohang, but the biggest shock is their striker Junior, who just had the most prolific season in K League history, being let go on a free to China. I won't go over the other couple of hundred transfers that happened, but here's a list of all the foreigners in K League this season so that you can see if you recognise any journeymen:

Matchday 1
The season kicks off on Saturday, with reigning champions Jeonbuk hosting FC Seoul. The fixture is known as "the legendary match" (it's purely a Korean word play, it's not really that legendary), and FC Seoul haven't won this tie since 2017. FC Seoul have however had probably the most promising transfer window of anyone this winter, so putting an end to this record wouldn't be that shocking. The times are admittedly not that convenient for UK viewers, but after the clocks change and the kick-off times shift to later in the day to avoid the daytime heat, you can still have a long lie-in and catch the whole match. The K League 1 matchday 1 kick-off times are as follows: Saturday 27th Feb
14:00 local time (05:00 GMT)
Jeonbuk vs FC Seoul
16:30 local time (07:30 GMT)

How to follow
There is only one place onreddit to follow all the K League happenings - KLeague. Over the past year, we've grown by about 350 subscribers over 45% (wow!) and now have image flairs that work across old, new, and mobile reddit. It's your go-to place to ask "stupid" questions and seek terrible advice on who to "root for". If you check the subreddit wiki you'll find plenty of info on how to get into it and how to watch the action live or highlights. There is no Supercup/Community Shield in Korea, but the first match of the season is arranged to be the previous season's League champions vs the FA Cup winners. This means it's Jeonbuk vs Suwon on Friday. The smart money will be on a Jeonbuk win, but the dollarydoos will be on Suwon. Given that nobody's played a league match since 1st December last year though, everything's a bit unpredictable.
The off-season
The main transfers that I can remember include
Korean NT goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu returning to Japan after playing for Ulsan for just 6 months and taking a throw-in
Korea's other main goalkeeper Cho Hyeon-woo transferring to Ulsan from Daegu
Lee Chung-yong returning to the K League after a long spell in Europe, joining Ulsan
MLS champion with Seattle Sounders Kim Kee-hee joining Ulsan. Ulsan really going for it here
The transfer with the highest publicly-disclosed transfer fee was last season's highest-paid player Ricardo Lopes going to Shanghai SIPG in China for about £5 million
Jeonbuk got their main transfer business done early, signing last year's MVP at Ulsan, Kim Bo-kyung
Ki Sung-yueng almost returned to the K League but talks broke down due to some weird contract clause that FC Seoul still had over him, leading Ki to write this very mature message on his instagram and head off to Spain:
Hurt me with a lie and I can hurt you with the truth...stop playing with me u ain't gonna like when I play back
There were of course many many more transfers in the winter window, but none that would interest most people reading this. What everyone should be interested in is the K League mascot "class president election", a popular vote for the K League's favourite mascot. It was a two horse race between Daegu's adorable Rica the hedgehog, and the prince of darkness, Suwon Bluewing's Aguileon. Actually I'm not sure which one the prince of darkness is. To my dismay, Aguileon managed to take 1st place, leading Rica by over 1,000 votes. Although he only came 7th, I also want to give special mention to Jeju United's orange. There were big changes in the lower leagues, as three divisions were merged into two, sorting out the confusing naming schemes, and removing barriers to promotion and relegation throughout the pyramid. The two new divisions are semi-pro, called K3 League and K4 League, sitting below the professional K League 2, and above the amateur K5 league. The long-standing target of having pro/rel with K League 2 "within 5 years" now actually looks possible.
How do I watch it?
Watching live Watching K League outside of Korea used to be tricky and in Western markets the rights were typically hoovered up by sites like Bet365. Interest abroad for K League rights are heightened now, so this year there are at least some countries that have been confirmed to broadcast K League, mainly in Asia and Eastern Europe. There are rumours of France, Germany, Italy, Australia, and USA (ESPN?) being interested in the rights, but nothing confirmed yet. If you don't live in a country that has broadcasting rights, there is still a way to watch online from a proper source. If you can get yourself a Korean IP address, i.e. using a VPN, it's very easy to watch many of the matches in a (mostly?) legal way. If you're using a browser simply head to the Korean web portal Naver (https://sports.naver.com/kfootball/index.nhn), and when there's a match on, it will appear at the top of the webpage, usually with some indication that live video is available. Click on it and start watching. (Note that I haven't checked if it's this straightforward on desktop; I don't own a computer. There's a chance you might be asked to install a browser add-on or something - you can ask in the comments here or on kleague if you need help). An alternative if you're on mobile is to install the "Naver TV" app and find a match in the Live tab. You can also watch back full matches that were shown on Naver if you miss it live. I won't share less-legal ways to watch here, but if you head over to kleague and look at recent posts you might find something won't find anything so don't even think about it buddy. One thing to consider about live matches is the time difference - in the winter months, matches kick off around 5am or 7am GMT. In the summer months, kick off is ~10am or 11am GMT. However, for the first couple of weekends the kick-off times are spread throughout the day, so you should be able to catch a game wherever you are. Watching highlights If an inconvenient time difference is putting you off, you can still enjoy K League even if you don't watch live. Every single match gets a high quality ~10 minute highlight video produced that is region-free on YouTube. Just imagine you're watching MOTD but without the bad punditry. The official K League channel, should be hosting these videos again this year, but I should include the disclaimer that there's a possibility that the rights to show highlights might have been sold this year, in which case you'd have to find out who has those rights in your country. Highlights are usually uploaded 30 mins – 2 hours after the end of a match, although I did read that AI in their new media centre will be producing highlights within a few minutes of the match ending...
Choosing a team
If any of you want to pick a team to support, if you give some criteria in the comments I can help by suggesting a team, but I'll leave some info here based on what I think could be some common ways to pick a team. If looking good is your primary concern, here's an imgur album of all home and away K League kits. This album has the kits from both K League 1 & K League 2, so of you're only interested in the top flight you'll have to ignore a few. If looking good is really important to you, there's one particular corner of the internet that has already given their seal of approval to Daegu FC. This short hype video also serves to show all club crests if you want to base a decision on that.

I don't know if I'll keep doing this but I had a fun time preparing for the game last time doing it and hopefully it helps get people excited for the game this weekend.
Positional Talent Breakdown
This is my opinion on the state of the two rosters and is subject to being wrong. The scoring is 3 for a push, +- 1 for slight dis/advantage, +- 2 for a big dis/advantage. This is assuming that Nick Chubb out, as expected.

Strength of Victories / Weakness of Losses
This is a measure of the quality of the wins and losses. The strength of victory is one of the tie breaker metrics, described here (high number is good). Weakness of losses is a similar metric but to describe how bad a loss is (high number is bad). Because we have no common opponents to date, that metric is not included. These numbers are between 0 and 1. Because the Browns only loss was to the 3-1 Ravens, they have a better loss score than we do, who lost to the 1-3 Jags. We have a slightly better Strength of Victory than the Browns.

History
The series between the Colts and the Cleveland Browns is tied at 17-17-0. However, since the Colts have been in Indianapolis, they lead the series 12-6, including 8 of the last 9. The two teams have met in the playoffs 4 times, with the most recent one coming in 1988 and the other 3 coming in the Baltimore Colts years.
Keys to winning
For the Colts: - Getting pressure on Mayfield (one of the league's worst under pressure in 2019) - Continued improvement in 3rd down, especially in scoring position - Stopping big plays on Defense - Turning field goals into TDs - (edit) Make Mayfield have to try to beat you deep For the Browns: - Establish the run game against a strong defensive front - Get OBJ going early - Get pressure on Phillip Rivers - Winning field position battle
Fun fact from last game:
For the last 4 elections, when the Colts have beat the Bears, Republicans have won the presidential election that year. When the Bears have beaten the Colts, Democrats have won the presidential election that year. By this B.S. model, Donald trump will re-elected. Edit: I originally saw this on the bears subreddit. Didn't realize it had been cross posted to ours before posting.
My Prediction
Both teams are coming into this game with a 3 game winning streak. This feels like a must-win game for the Browns because they have to compete with the Steelers and Ravens in the AFC North. I believe that the Browns offense, even without Nick Chubb will be able to get more done against the Colts defense than the Colt's offense can accomplish against the Browns Defense. Kevin Stefanski will be able to will his team to victory and expose some of the weaknesses the Colts have been able to keep hidden so far this season on defense. Sadly, I think the Browns will win this game 31-20, please prove me wrong, Colts.

Are you a poker webmaster? Here is how to earn revenue with poker affiliate offers. Poker enthusiasts, players, and general poker fans are creating valuable content. But are they getting any rewards for it? Well, if they play the digital content game right, they do. In this article, we give you all the information about how to monetize your poker website. How to make money by writing about poker? If you are producing content on poker players, poker rooms, and different poker networks, you should get paid for it. Poker is a game of skill. Therefore there is a lot to write about, such as poker strategy, poker player tactics, live vs. online poker, player rankings, poker rooms, poker networks. You name it. There is a lot to talk about in poker, and there are many that blog about poker. However, only the smart ones make money from it. How? By jumping into affiliate marketing! Gaming companies are using different marketing tracks to promote their brands and services. On the one hand, there is the old school marketing with buying ad space with ads popping at every channel you open. And then, there is affiliate marketing. Affiliates are partnering with the brand and drive traffic to the brand channels and points of sale. The more traffic, the higher the rewards. For gaming/poker brands, this is the cheapest and most authentic marketing that they can do, as the commission is paid from a successful conversion only. For the affiliate (poker blogger, webmaster, YouTuber) this is usually no extra burden, as they post about the topic anyway. Smart brands are always on the lookout for great content creators. And smart content producers are still on the lookout for a high revenue share or CPA deal. Let’s give you an example of a poker content creator that monetizes his channel. Doug Polk Poker is a poker player, who is posting educational poker content, Twitch stream of his best poker table moments, and funny videos. When you watch his videos on Youtube, you get a lot of information about poker strategy, insight into poker, and what it takes to be a poker player. His Youtube poker content, almost in all cases, has a link to more information or services that are payable. By posting a link to a poker course, for example, he is acting as an affiliate. For every purchase of the course, he will earn a commission.

#3 Poker strategy

South Korea's 2020 K League season starts this Friday 8th May - a very mini guide
Delayed by coronavirus by 10 weeks, Asia's oldest professional league is finally here Contents:

Choosing a team
Why should you care?
The most obvious reason is that it's being played at all and will probably be the highest-quality football on offer in the world right now. Longer-term, when the football calendar returns to normal, following the K League means you'll never have to go without club football from ~June-August again, as the K League plays from ~February–November. When everyone in the DD is lamenting how empty their lives are now that the EPL has finished, you can just enjoy watching the K League in full swing every weekend. I could wax lyrical about how amazing the K League is, but really those will be the best reasons for most people. Aside from that, it does generally provide very good entertainment. Last season we saw:
the title race come down to the last game of the season, and was decided on a tiebreaker by a single goal scored
related to the above, Ulsan failing to secure the title by losing to their biggest rivals Pohang Steelers when they only needed a draw
the previous season's runners-up being relegated
K League stalwarts Jeju United being relegated for the first time ever
Gangwon staging a 5-goal comeback in the final 25 mins of a game against Pohang in which they were 4-0 down
The impact of coronavirus
The K League season was postponed in late February, 5 days before it was meant to kick off. Training was allowed to continue, although friendlies against other teams were banned. South Korea's response to the virus has widely been considered "very good", and so talks took place in April about resuming the season soon after friendlies were allowed again. Clubs initially ruled out opening behind closed doors due to their reliance on gate receipts for their finances, but I guess they changed their minds on that, as there will be no crowd at the beginning with no date set for opening the doors. However, given that South Korea held a general election with their highest ever voter turnout a few weeks ago, with no apparent subsequent impact on coronavirus numbers, I'm hopeful there will be a crowd in the near future. New cases in South Korea have been about 10 per day for the past few weeks, and a majority of those have been arrivals from abroad. Social distancing is set to be relaxed from Wednesday, moving into a new phase of "everyday life quarantine", with public facilities and schools ready to reopen. The K League 1 season is normally 38 games, but will be reduced to 27 games for this year - each of the 12 teams will play each other twice, and then after round 22 the table will "split" for the final 5 games. A league champion will only be crowned if at least 22 games are played. If any player or coach tests positive, their team will not play for at least 2 weeks. No staff or players connected with K League clubs were reported as testing positive during the outbreak, and last week all players, coaches, and support staff in K League 1 & K League 2 were tested prior to the start of the season, all testing negative. One interesting side-effect of the delay is that the K League will be the first to implement the new 2020-2021 IFAB rules, which bring a bit more common sense into penalising a goalkeeper for coming off their line for a penalty, and only penalise an accidental handball from the attacker if it happens immediately before a goal.
How do I get into it?
You could just start watching, but you might want to know a bit more about what you're watching. There are only a handful of English-language websites that cover the K League. Probably the most comprehensive overview can be found on this webpage, which basically serves as an index for a lot more content, but you can pick and choose what you want to read. If you want something a bit more digestable, I've been making OC on reddit over the past year, and if you read some of it, you'd be as well-informed as most who watch it: Guide to 2019 K League - perhaps a bit wordy, but could be worth a skim - not much changes in the space of a year anyway. Korean derbies - soccer really loves a derby. Here I tried to cover the main ones within the top flight with a bit of history, some stories, and significant matches. Season in review: 2019 K League - my recap of the season past. It was actually pretty exciting, with the title race going to the final day and decided on a single goal scored. I've also made this map so that you can get an idea of where each club is geographically. Stadium pictures are included.
Matchday 1
There is no Supercup/Community Shield in Korea, but the first match of the season is arranged to be the previous season's League champions vs the FA Cup winners. This means it's Jeonbuk vs Suwon on Friday. The smart money will be on a Jeonbuk win, but the dollarydoos will be on Suwon. Given that nobody's played a league match since 1st December last year though, everything's a bit unpredictable. The K League 1 matchday 1 kick-off times are as follows: Friday 8th May19:00 local time (10:00 GMT) Jeonbuk vs Suwon Saturday 9th May14:00 local time (05:00 GMT) Ulsan vs Sangju Sangmu 16:30 local time (07:30 GMT) Incheon vs Daegu 19:00 local time (10:00 GMT) Gwangju vs Seongnam Sunday 10th May14:00 local time (05:00 GMT) Pohang vs Busan 16:30 local time (07:30 GMT) Gangwon vs FC Seoul

Lee Chung-yong returning to the K League after a long spell in Europe, joining Ulsan
MLS champion with Seattle Sounders Kim Kee-hee joining Ulsan. Ulsan really going for it here
The transfer with the highest publicly-disclosed transfer fee was last season's highest-paid player Ricardo Lopes going to Shanghai SIPG in China for about £5 million
Jeonbuk got their main transfer business done early, signing last year's MVP at Ulsan, Kim Bo-kyung
Ki Sung-yueng almost returned to the K League but talks broke down due to some weird contract clause that FC Seoul still had over him, leading Ki to write this very mature message on his instagram and head off to Spain:
Hurt me with a lie and I can hurt you with the truth...stop playing with me u ain't gonna like when I play back
There were of course many many more transfers in the winter window, but none that would interest most people reading this.

If looking good is really important to you, there's one particular corner of the internet that has already given their seal of approval to Daegu FC. If you want to support your countrymen, here's a list of all foreigners playing in K League 1. There's no 🇺🇸Americans this year (Mix Diskerud was on loan at Ulsan last year, but he's returned to Man City), but Johnsen who plays for Ulsan was born and grew up in the US. 🇵🇹Portuguese Jose Morais is manager of Jeonbuk, formerly assistant manager to Mourinho.

There's a lack of 🏴English representation this year, but if you're looking for some familarity, there's a handful of South Koreans who have played in the English pyramid:
Arsenal LEGEND Park Chu-young (now with FC Seoul)
Middlesbrough LEGEND Lee Dong-gook (now with Jeonbuk) who is now 41
Bolton Wanderers and Crystal Palace legend Lee Chung-yong (now with Ulsan)
Cardiff and Wigan Athletic legend Kim Bo-kyung (now with Jeonbuk)
QPR legend Yoon Suk-young (now with Busan)
Other Koreans who had a stint in the 'top 5 leagues' include Park Joo-ho (Ulsan), Hong Jeong-ho, Kim Jin-su (both with Jeonbuk now), Yun Jun-tae (now with FC Seoul), and Kim Kyung-joong (now with Gangwon). This short hype video also serves to show all club crests if you want to base a decision on that.
The evolution of Si14 betting exchange. Dear partners! We are often asked a question about the history of the company. We will gladly share our background with you. In May 2014 the company Si14 Ltd. was organized in Russia. The company provided services in trust management of investors' capital and concluded contractual relations with Active Trade broker ( http://www.profi-forex.us/news/entry4000005767.html ). Si14 company is also a creator of mechanized trading systems on the stock market. At the same time, Si14 was interested in the constantly emerging arbitration situations on the sports betting market and Si14 decided to manage its assets at betting companies. The results of asset management in the sports betting market reached 200% monthly. At this point, the company faced industry pains, account blockages. The management of the company decided to create its platform Si14 Bet - the first fair sports betting exchange. At the moment the company is being restructured and opens a legal entity in Switzerland Si14 AG. After the official launch of the platform Si14.bet - the company plans to enter the IPO. Follow our news and join in the success story.

The impact of coronavirus
The K League season was postponed in late February, 5 days before it was meant to kick off. Training was allowed to continue, although friendlies against other teams were banned. South Korea's response to the virus has widely been considered "very good", and so talks took place in April about resuming the season soon after friendlies were allowed again. Clubs initially ruled out opening behind closed doors due to their reliance on gate receipts for their finances, but I guess they changed their minds on that, as there will be no crowd at the beginning with no date set for opening the doors. However, given that South Korea held a general election with their highest ever voter turnout a few weeks ago, with no apparent subsequent impact on coronavirus numbers, I'm hopeful there will be a crowd in the near future. New cases in South Korea have been about 10 per day for the past few weeks, and a majority of those have been arrivals from abroad. Social distancing is set to be relaxed from Wednesday, moving into a new phase of "everyday life quarantine", with public facilities and schools ready to reopen. The K League 1 season is normally 38 games, but will be reduced to 27 games for this year - each of the 12 teams will play each other twice, and then after round 22 the table will "split" for the final 5 games. A league champion will only be crowned if at least 22 games are played. If any player or coach tests positive, their team will not play for at least 2 weeks. No staff or players connected with K League clubs were reported as testing positive during the outbreak, and last week all players, coaches, and support staff in K League 1 & K League 2 were tested prior to the start of the season, all testing negative. One interesting side-effect of the delay is that the K League will be the first to implement the new 2020-2021 IFAB rules, which bring a bit more common sense into penalising a goalkeeper for coming off their line for a penalty, and only penalise an accidental handball from the attacker if it happens immediately before a goal.
How do I get into it?
You could just start watching, but you might want to know a bit more about what you're watching. There are only a handful of English-language websites that cover the K League. Probably the most comprehensive overview can be found on this webpage, which basically serves as an index for a lot more content, but you can pick and choose what you want to read. If you want something a bit more digestable, I've been making OC on reddit over the past year, and if you read some of it, you'd be as well-informed as most who watch it: Guide to 2019 K League - perhaps a bit wordy, but could be worth a skim - not much changes in the space of a year anyway. Korean derbies - reddit really loves a derby. Here I tried to cover the main ones within the top flight with a bit of history, some stories, and significant matches. Season in review: 2019 K League - my recap of the season past. It was actually pretty exciting, with the title race going to the final day and decided on a single goal scored. I've also made this map so that you can get an idea of where each club is geographically. Stadium pictures are included.
Matchday 1
There is no Supercup/Community Shield in Korea, but the first match of the season is arranged to be the previous season's League champions vs the FA Cup winners. This means it's Jeonbuk vs Suwon on Friday. The smart money will be on a Jeonbuk win, but the dollarydoos will be on Suwon. Given that nobody's played a league match since 1st December last year though, everything's a bit unpredictable. The K League 1 matchday 1 kick-off times are as follows: Friday 8th May19:00 local time (10:00 GMT) Jeonbuk vs Suwon Saturday 9th May14:00 local time (05:00 GMT) Ulsan vs Sangju Sangmu 16:30 local time (07:30 GMT) Incheon vs Daegu 19:00 local time (10:00 GMT) Gwangju vs Seongnam Sunday 10th May14:00 local time (05:00 GMT) Pohang vs Busan 16:30 local time (07:30 GMT) Gangwon vs FC Seoul
The off-season
The main transfers that I can remember include
Korean NT goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu returning to Japan after playing for Ulsan for just 6 months and taking a throw-in
Korea's other main goalkeeper Cho Hyeon-woo transferring to Ulsan from Daegu
Lee Chung-yong returning to the K League after a long spell in Europe, joining Ulsan
MLS champion with Seattle Sounders Kim Kee-hee joining Ulsan. Ulsan really going for it here
The transfer with the highest publicly-disclosed transfer fee was last season's highest-paid player Ricardo Lopes going to Shanghai SIPG in China for about £5 million
Jeonbuk got their main transfer business done early, signing last year's MVP at Ulsan, Kim Bo-kyung
Ki Sung-yueng almost returned to the K League but talks broke down due to some weird contract clause that FC Seoul still had over him, leading Ki to write this very mature message on his instagram and head off to Spain:
Hurt me with a lie and I can hurt you with the truth...stop playing with me u ain't gonna like when I play back
There were of course many many more transfers in the winter window, but many were not that interesting. What everyone should be interested in is the K League mascot "class president election", a popular vote for the K League's favourite mascot. It was a two horse race between Daegu's adorable Rica the hedgehog, and the prince of darkness, Suwon Bluewing's Aguileon. Actually I'm not sure which one the prince of darkness is. To my dismay, Aguileon managed to take 1st place, leading Rica by over 1,000 votes. Although he only came 7th, I also want to give special mention to Jeju United's orange. There were big changes in the lower leagues, as three divisions were merged into two, sorting out the confusing naming schemes, and removing barriers to promotion and relegation throughout the pyramid. The two new divisions are semi-pro, called K3 League and K4 League, sitting below the professional K League 2, and above the amateur K5 league. The long-standing target of having pro/rel with K League 2 "within 5 years" now actually looks possible.
How do I watch it?
Watching live Watching K League outside of Korea used to be tricky and in Western markets the rights were typically hoovered up by sites like Bet365. Interest abroad for K League rights are heightened now, so this year there are at least some countries that have been confirmed to broadcast K League, mainly in Asia and Eastern Europe. There are rumours of France, Germany, Italy, Australia, and USA (ESPN?) being interested in the rights, but nothing confirmed yet. If you don't live in a country that has broadcasting rights, there is still a way to watch online from a proper source. If you can get yourself a Korean IP address, i.e. using a VPN, it's very easy to watch many of the matches in a (mostly?) legal way. If you're using a browser simply head to the Korean web portal Naver (https://sports.naver.com/kfootball/index.nhn), and when there's a match on, it will appear at the top of the webpage, usually with some indication that live video is available. Click on it and start watching. (Note that I haven't checked if it's this straightforward on desktop; I don't own a computer. There's a chance you might be asked to install a browser add-on or something - you can ask in the comments here or on the sub if you need help). An alternative if you're on mobile is to install the "Naver TV" app and find a match in the Live tab. You can also watch back full matches that were shown on Naver if you miss it live. In less-legal ways to watch, if you look at old posts on the sub you might find something. One thing to consider about live matches is the time difference - in the winter months, matches kick off around 5am or 7am GMT. In the summer months, kick off is ~10am or 11am GMT. However, for the first couple of weekends the kick-off times are spread throughout the day, so you should be able to catch a game wherever you are. Watching highlights If an inconvenient time difference is putting you off, you can still enjoy K League even if you don't watch live. Every single match gets a high quality ~10 minute highlight video produced that is region-free on YouTube. Just imagine you're watching MOTD but without the bad punditry. The official K League channel, should be hosting these videos again this year, but I should include the disclaimer that there's a possibility that the rights to show highlights might have been sold this year, in which case you'd have to find out who has those rights in your country. Highlights are usually uploaded 30 mins – 2 hours after the end of a match, although I did read that AI in their new media centre will be producing highlights within a few minutes of the match ending...
Choosing a team
If any of you want to pick a team to support, if you give some criteria in the comments I can help by suggesting a team, but I'll leave some info here based on what I think could be some common ways to pick a team. If looking good is your primary concern, here's an imgur album of all home and away K League kits. This album has the kits from both K League 1 & K League 2, so of you're only interested in the top flight you'll have to ignore a few. If looking good is really important to you, there's one particular corner of the internet that has already given their seal of approval to Daegu FC. If you want to support your countrymen, here's a list of all foreigners playing in K League 1.

Be careful if you're a high deposit bettor on B365
Hello, Context: EU Citizen So I'm sure we've all heard of people being restricted for WINNING a lot of money on Bet365, with restrictions ranging from only being allowed to place 0.01 stakes, to another form of restrictions, documentations on income. But I'm sure that most of you haven't heard about how B365 treats its upper epsilon of customers, I happen to be one of them. The moment I hit 18, 3 years ago, I couldn't wait to start gambling on B365, the hour upon my birthday after midnight, I signed up straight away, and started betting, before this, I've had a lot of experience gambling, but my gambling was mainly in bitcoins since I was underage. Anyway, I was lucky enough to come from a fortunate family, and as such, I had access to a lot of money at a young age, money that while other kids would spend on lets say iPhones, I would spend on betting. 2 years of betting on B365 passed, and no problems, every couple of months they would ring me, suspend my account for about a day, and then unsuspend it to make sure I'm "comfortable" with my gambling, to which everytime I passed with flying colours. However, this year, I had increased my stakes, so to put it into context, I started betting 100 euroes per bet, that went up to 1000 euroes over the course of 2 years. I rarely had over 8k in my balance (i.e if I would deposit 3k, the highest I ever got was to 8k) and I rarely cashed out my profits, other then the occasional takeaway or food shopping bill that I used my card for (that I was given by them) Anyway, all in all, I was the PERFECT customer for B365, I lost over 26000 euroes over the course of 3 years, and in total I had gambling activities of over 1 million (bets placed NOT DEPOSIT) A few months ago, after a period of increased activity (normally I would deposit 4000 euroes every 4 months and that would either last me one week or one month depending on how retarded I was) then in between I would deposit maybe 50/100 I bet over 2 months 10000, and I had lost it. Anyway, they contacted me asking for proof of income, and after much research online, I saw that there was hardly any mentions of people who WERE LOSING A LOT OF MONEY having to provide proof of income. Being a bit annoyed, at the fact that rather then accepting free money B365 are accusing me of money laundering or something else, I did indeed submit my bank statements then afterwards, they have been asking for more and more documents. Now these bank statements that I have provided show that my overall accounts have more then 40000 euroes in them, and I regularly get income from work and other family activity, yet they keep asking for more and more information/history under the pretence of "safe and responsible gambling" It doesn't take an idiot to work out that there are 2 things at play here: 1) They are looking for responsible gambling, to which, I have proved it with my bank statements showing that even with all these looses, I am comfortably living my life 2) They are looking for money laundering - to which I would think I'm the worst money launder in the history of money laundering if my losses are SO HUGE. So right now, I'm having to bet on other sites, and frankly I'm very annoyed at how they have acted, because I don't arb, I don't match bet, and I have recommended B365 to everyone I know yet I find myself under scrutiny for enjoying a hobby within my financial limits. Just a word of warning for those who do bet/stake a lot on B365, that even if you are a good customer for them, a profitable one, they might come after you.
