Egypt 4, T&T 1, WINNER, +1.62

Maybe I'll start a thread consolidating Asian and African picks.

I'm reading where a lot of the Italian clubs are not allowing their players to play in this competition. Paraguay started out around 3.80 for the ML and are now down to between 2.70-3.30. This will be a match to watch for line movement.

Sorry boulderrr, I didn't see that in time to comment. I'm at work and have limited access to this forum.

On a related note, I believe I have learned something from this thread. I have learned that not all line movements come just before the match starts. This line movement started yesterday when it was found that Italy would not field a full team to Paraguay. I should have taken the +0.5 then but thought things might change between yesterday and today.

Also in the CSKA Sofia match that mayday mentioned, when it was found that 4 players would not play for the opponent odds started dropping well before match time. I guess if there is news of missings the day before a match it may be safe to bet.

I was reading at another place where Fiji only had one player that didn't live on the island. Somehow it just didn't register with me that Spain would have no trouble scoring at least 4 goals. Even at this age Spain has a premier squad.

I thought of the under I bet last night with the Pumas and Real Espana. Neither team was trying very hard at the end there and even then the Pumas scored. I should have thought Spain would score with hardly trying.

I'll take a look at the US vs. Germany match and post here.

Looks like odds for Germany are dropping to -143 at some books for the ML. Now I've been burned many times by watching line movement in 3-way lines. It's a sure way to go broke. I usually look at the Asian Handicap and if that moves then you might have something.

However, as we have seen here with Egypt and Spain line movement the day before these matches may mean something since players are announced at that time instead of just before match time like other matches when big bettors find out the lineup and move the line then.

I'm reading where only 2 of England's best players will play on Saturday due to clubs not releasing their players. I'm thinking about taking the under 2 1/2 for England/Uruguay just like Italy and Paraguay turned out today.

Germany wins 3-0. I knew the German program was much better than the one in the USA but with their missings I didn't know how good they would be and whether the Americans would be at full strength so I laid off this bet.

I should have gone with my instinct. Uruguay 1, England 0.

Italy 2, T&T 1, WINNER, +0.76
Venezuela 8, Tahiti 0, WINNER on the total, +1.82
Venezuela 8, Tahiti 0, WINNER on the side, +1.42

Today: 3-0, +4.00

This thread: 4-0-1, +5.62

Looks like Tahiti got a couple red cards. Do you suppose they are getting island fever out there after getting spanked?

Hopefully there will be additional betting opportunities tomorrow.
