I backed off Belgium as I didn't have a good feeling about them today. What a surprise it's 2-1 Wales in the 57th minute.

Good news is we hit our OVER!!!

Getting my plays on the board early today as I am headed to the Jersey shore to enjoy some sun and of course the game at 3pm.

Definitely the match up of the tournament and possibly the game of the tournament. Italy has come to play and it seems the Germans are finding their stride. Italy has a solid track record against Germany that cannot be denied and Germany are the reigning WC champs. I expect a tight game with both sides taking calculated chances as to not give up the one goal that could oust them from the tournament.

I have looked at this game nine ways to the middle and I see a low scoring game that will end in a draw. That means the value is at +.5 on ITALY.
However, Germany will find a way in extra time of PK's to move on to the Semi-Finals.

07/02/16 Germany vs Italy

Italy FT +.5 at -140 for 1 unit
Germany/Italy Draw at +200 for 1 unit
Germany to Advance at -165 for 1 unit

Big Play Alert!!!!!

Germany/Italy Under 2.5(Buy Hook) at -195 for 4 units

Damn Lex. Awesome job. Thank you. Always nice to see I am on same side as you--makes me very comfortable and usually double my wager. Just hate that the tourney is drawing to a close. I eagerly anticipate your plays!

Guys I can't seem to get a good read on today's France vs Iceland game. i honestly think it could go either way. Sure France has a more talented squad but I'm not totally convinced. Iceland has done what no one expected them to do, but that could all end today.

I hate to disappoint, but no plays for me today. We had a killer week and I'm not going to force it.

If you must know, based upon previous games I see the most value on the OVER 2.5 that's simply a lean and no official play.

Thanks to to all that followed! Back next week for the semifinals!

Let me make a few suggestions for the semi-finals. I count for one possibly 2 goals from Wales during the regulation period (90 minutes). Portugal will have a hard time compensating.

For the France - Germany game my thoughts go for draw overtime and penalty shoot out. Germany will be missing players. However they will not be missing the 2 key ones. Ozil and Kross. Since both Khedira and Schweinsteiger will be out, it will be Emre Can on the line up. For me Emre Can is a far better player than both the aforementioned. To replace Gomez I would bet on Podolsky or Gotze. To replace Hummels, Howentes will resume his position in the center of defense accompagied by Moustafi if Boateng will not make it. For me this line up is a better one than the one that Loew has been producing so far. Considering that in all likelihood the ball posession will be on Germany's side, I do not feel that France will be able to use the same tactics as with Iceland. On the other hand I would be interested to see how the German defense will handle Griezmann and Giroud.

Thanks for the Germany winners!!! I was watching that game at the bar @ the Hilton here in Chicago.....right before my friend's wedding reception. Was going nuts! What a match that was.

Looking fwd to your thoughts on Wales/Portugal!!! I'm rooting for Portugal since my co-worker wants to double down on his loss from Poland - Portugal (we made a personal bet on that game). He's Polish, so go figure =)

Guys I am sorry, I was tied up travelling for work and was unable to get my plays posted. For what it's worth, I played Portugal ML yesterday.

Looking to break through the +30 units mark today for EURO 2016. I refuse to be against the Germans. I see them spoiling the home nation's run today in a big way. Germany +$$$$$$ = Awesome value... Take them with confidence.

7/7/16 Germany vs France

Germany PK at +105 for 2 units
Germany ML at +215 for 1 unit

Hand above his head and it blocks the header on net..anywhere on the field that's a DFK, so PK every time. Had to confirm with AR. If not 100% you can't call it. Well done.
