The Handball World Cup starts today here in Germany. Many books offer all the games and totals.
i will have a running thread thru the tourney posting my picks as i think it should be very possible to find some good value on this "low-profil" sport, especially with the news and tv coverage i can get here in germany (almost every game is shown live on tv)
Picks will be all risking one unit, if nothing else stated, with the occasional big play for 2 units.
It s important that you check lines if you have more than one book which is offering these games, as lines are moving slower in some places and there might be additional potential.
My lines will be mainly from pinny and Betandwin.
Friday (11.30 am ET)
Germany- Brazil: Germany -8.5 @ 1.91
Germany is the host of the World Cup and although it s not like the football WC, Handball is after football and icehockey the most popular sport here. so all the arenas will be sold out and there is really strong home support here.
Germany is not one of the top-favs to win it all, but certainly a dark-horse, similar to the situation before the football WC. Therefore it s important to get a big win right from the start to get the fan base activated for bigger things to come.
Brazil is only an outsider and no real match here for germany. the only question is: can cover germany the hdc.
With Brazil playing without the top-player (who had trouble with the coach and internally suspended) they are already saying that they dont expect any chance today. With the fact that it s the opening game of the WC i like Germany to have a statement game right from the beginning and will play it for 60 min out, which should lead to an double digit win. They covered the same hdc already at the last WC when Brazil had a much stronger team.
BOL to all
