Napoli up 2-0 and ending up in a tie. That's the kind of loss that just haunts you.

SUNDAY
BRAZIL
Flamengo -.5 +125/Palmerias, 2 units

COLOMBIA
Junior -.5 -125/Millonarios, 5 units (Millonarios just had emotional Sudamericana win Thursday vs. Gremio, and has to play at Tigre Wednesday. I think Colombian title is now secondary to Sudamericana title.)

Celtic +1.5 -144/Benfica, 2 units
Manchester United +.5 -114/Galatasaray, 1 unit

Manchester United already clinched knockout stage qualification, and goes to Turkey with a youthful team. Still, I think they can get at least a draw.

Both road teams are the better team and would be thrilled with a draw, especially Millonarios, which is also in the Colombian playoffs.

[achandicap]

I typo-ed the Swansea pick, and it turned into a winner. That should have been Swansea +.5, not -.5. The draw turns that loss into a win, and gave me a nice profit on the day.

Record: 311.5-289, +13.93

Arsenal PK +106/Everton, 2 units

COLOMBIA
Deportivo Tolima -.5 -124/Millonarios, 5 units

Millonarios has a Sudamericana match Thursday vs. Tigre. For some reason, Colombia doesn't seem to care to help national teams in international competitions. From the way Millonarios has played the last two weeks, the goal is Sudamericana rather than the league title.

Record: 311.5-290, +11.93

 

[achandicap]

Very impressed with Millonarios right now. The beat a hot Tolima team with--at best--a mixed lineup. Now they face Tigre, a team that has yet to win a match (or score) outside of Argentina since 2009. It's a small sample size, but this is not a great Tigre team. Tigre has used a great home field to get to the Sudamericana semifinals. Now they have to go to Colombian altitude (8,600 feet).

SUDAMERICANA
Millonarios -1 +101/Tigre, 3 units

Record: 312.5-292, +5.08

 

[achandicap]

And so Millonarios has cost me nine units in the last two days. Damn...

I don't think I'm chasing with this play, but be wary.

Milan -.5 +122/Catania, 4 units
