Champions League action today

[HinesWard86]

Two bets for today. Both road teams although one is not really on the road.

3 stars
-------------------------
Rangers +1.5 @ Inter Milan -116 Rangers +1.5 seems to be a gift to me. The game is at Inter Milan, but there will be NO ONE there.....literally. Inter Milan is not allowed to have any fans or supporters at this match, due to the incident last year where they threw flares on the field after going down 3-0 to AC Milan. Rangers is playing quality football in the Champions League and if they get a goal we should be golden. The last two times that a team had to play a match at home with no one present, the games both ended as draws. Great value here.

2 stars
--------------------------
Chelsea ML @ Liverpool +129 Chelsea might possibly be the greatest English club team ever assembled. This team has no weaknesses and has allowed all of 1 goal so far in its Premiership campaign. Liverpool was the Cinderella of the Champions League last year. They came down from 3-0 against AC Milan to send the game into PK's and claimed the title. If there's one thing we know it's that Cinderella doesn't wear the slipper twice. Ask Monaco and Porto from 2 years ago how they did last year. Also, Liverpool was the team that bounced Chelsea last year in the Champions League, the Blues won't forget this.

Final score prediction: Chelsea 1 Liverpool 0 +570 Just a feeling here. Also thinking about betting Chelsea to win 2-1 at +901. Might put a couple bucks on it.

Hines I like the 1-0 Chelsea win also, go buy yourself a Steelers Throw for the winter instead of laying some bucks on Chelsea 2-1, game wont see that may goals:toast:


What was up w/ Randel El and that lateral??? :lolBIG:

 

[HinesWard86]

Well complete push today. Got back every penny of what I bet, never had that happen before. Nylon, that lateral was insane. Randle El had the worst game I've seen him have, dropped a couple passes, missed a couple blocks, and that inexplicable lateral. We'll get the Patsies back in the playoffs though.

On a side note, what a shock, Porto goes up 2-0 at home to Artmedia Bratslava and blows it. It's going to be very hard for Porto to get out of the group stages now.....after consecutive 3-2 losses at the hands of Rangers and Bratslava.

Yeah that Porto game looks fishy, but I didn't see it so I couldn't tell if those goals were legit....... I cashed on the under liverpool-chelsea, they play again on Sunday I think, I may lay a few bones on that one too.

Any chance a CL game would be fixed. I thought those were the last games that would be fixed.

InSpades, I doubt a CL game being fixed also, but you never know.....like I said if I had a chance to see those goals by Artmedia I'd have a better opinion.......<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=468 bgColor=#c0c0c0 border=0><TBODY><TR align=right bgColor=#d6d9d0 height=17><TD>3 </TD><TD align=left> Artmedia </TD><TD>11</TD><TD>6</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>3</TD><TD>17-13</TD><TD align=middle>20</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Porto 1st in Port. Liga 1 & Artmedia 3rd in Slovakian Liga.....also Artmedia gave up 7 goals in 5 games away, whereas Port hadn't given up one in 3 games at home outscoring their opp. 9-0................if Artmedia won 1-0 then it's an upset, but 3-2? Damn, go figure
