European football 2009-2010

[quantumleap]

Norway - 2 Divisjon (Avdeling 4)
Manglerud Star Oslo -0.5 1.93 over Ranheim Trondheim (2 units)
Manglerud has not lost at home. In fact, they have outscored each opponent by at least 2 goals. They lost their last match so they will want to bounce back here as they are 1 point out of 1st place.

Well this looks like a 1-3 day with the big favorites (1-4 if you include my Singapore pick). I almost lost on the UCD/Kildare bet. Kildare has lost 15 in a row including Cup play. I was about to throw my laptop out the window until UCD got a goal with 5 minutes left to go.

UCD 1, Kildare 0, WINNER, +0.74
Finn 3, Sporting 1, Loss, -1.00 (30 minutes left to go but I'm taking the loss)
Valsta 1, Karlslunds 1, Loss, -1.00
Ranheim 2, Manglerud 1, Loss, -2.00

Today: 1-3, -3.26

YTD: +1.85

This is what I think about today's action:

Good thing you didn't bet on the Latvian match between Ventspils FK and Olimps Riga. Anyone who chose to bet on Ventspils at -900 or so or included them in a parlay, probably would have trashed their home after Ventspils went down 0-3 to Olimps after 52 min. Vent finally scored at 57 min and ended up scoring 5 goals to win 5-3.

I'd sure like to see what the in-game wagering was like on that match.

Wow! That's quite a turnaround. I had another big favorite lose a couple weeks ago against Alta who had never won in the league until I bet on them.

hno:

That's just soccer I guess.

I checked my past results thinking that weekends were when I lost the most. It happens that Saturdays are especially bad so maybe I'll go light on them in the future.

Finland -Veikkausliiga
Haka Valkeakoski PK 2.00 over MyPa Anjalankoski
I'll take Haka any time I can get them at a PK, especially at evens. Haka has only lost once on the road in 5 matches this season and are tied for first with HJK Helsinki so they will want a victory here to stay in 1st place.

MyPa is 4th from bottom.

FF Jaro Pietarsaari +0.5 1.76 over HJK Helsinki
As far as home form goes there is none better than Jaro. They have scored 11 goals and only given up 2 goals in 5 home matches. They have not lost at home.

HJK may be at the top of the tables but they play conservatively on the road. I think they will be happy with a draw against a tough home team in Jaro. They have only won 1 away match out of their last 4.

Norway - Tippeligaen
IK Start Kristiansand -0.5 1.85 over Strømsgodset IF
Start has 18 goals scored and 9 goals given up during 8 home matches. They have not done well on the road lately so they will want a victory here against Strømsgodset.

Strømsgodset has lost their last 4 road matches.

 

[quantumleap]

Sweden - Superettan
Mjallby Solvesborg PK 1.68 over Falkenbergs FF
Mjallby has not lost on the road yet this year. In fact, the league leaders have only given up 1 goal in 6 road matches.

Falkenbergs has won 3 home matches but have lost 3 home matches.

IK Sirius Uppsala/FC Trollhattan under 2.5 1.73
Sirius has scored 6 goals in 6 road matches while Trollhattan has only scored 3 goals in 6 home matches.

 

[quantumleap]

Haka 2, MyPa 0, WINNER, +1.00
HJK 2, Jaro 0, Loss, -1.00
Start 2, Strømsgodset 2, Loss, -1.00
Mjallby 3, Falkenbergs 1, WINNER, +0.68
Trollhattan 5, Sirius 2, Loss, -1.00


Well I went 2-2 with the favorites. I'm thinking that they may not be going balls out any more. I'll have to be more careful in my picks and it may be that the favorites aren't the way to go anymore.

Today: 2-3, -1.32

YTD: +0.63

 

[coachesplays]

still in the positive for the year.

Thanks Coach.

Sweden - Allsvenskan
Kalmar FF +0.5 1.77 over Malmö FF
Kalmar has only lost 2 road matches and one was to league-leader Göteborg and the other to Örebro early in the season when they were adjusting to a new lineup after losing their top players.

Malmö has only won 2 home matches this year and one was to last-place Örgryte and the other to third-from-last Djurgårdens. So we have a situation here where we have a team that has only done well against poor teams.

IFK Göteborg -0.5 2.42 over Halmstads BK
Göteborg's road record is misleading having lost 3 matches while only scoring 3 goals and giving up 7 goals in 5 matches. However, 2 out of the 3 losses were early in the season. Since then they have won 10 of 11 matches overall with their only loss being to second-place Elfsborg on the road.

GL today quantum, I really like those picks.

I feel a 2-0 day for ya!

 

[SRBI]

Quantum, here's some further info on Goteborg:

The players that will miss today's match are: Sebastian Eriksson (10 matches) and Robin Söder (12 matches, 2 goals). Adding Wernerbloom (11 matches, 5 goals) to this list which is sold to Dutch champions AZ. So IFK have to deal with the missing of 3 regulars today (Actually 2 as Wernerbloom is sold).

Sounds like it might be a toughy...careful on your stakes, I'm going small.

Thanks SRBI. I was just reading that too.

That's one of the problems of posting the night before. I don't get some information that's posted during the early hours.

I think I'll join you on the Kalmar under 2.5. Good luck to us.

You mean on the Goteborg under 2.5, lol, just making sure we're on the same page here.

SRBI & Quantum: Where do you get your Sweden news? I follow the league but have a hard time finding lineup information like this.

Forums forums forums, my friend. Google can assist you in this.

Yes, I meant Goteborg as you posted in your thread.

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking Kalmar earlier and that stuck in my head.

ac, yes I get my information from other forums as well. Unfortunately I am unable to list which forums here. You can find some by doing a search.

Kalmar scores in the final minutes to take the lead 2-1!

Goteborg game is 0-0 at HT, under 2.5 looking good!
