You know, sometimes I wonder with these cup games. Take today for example... Leverkusen can't score a goal until the 82nd minute, and then Mainz gets one to tie the game 6 minutes later... then in OT, Leverkusen explodes for 3 goals in only 30 minutes! Of course, the books grade the wager based on 90 minutes only. Only a little bit "fishy" there.
Today wasn't the only cup game I've seen this happen to. Oh well, we learn from our mistakes, no more cup games.
2-0 today
Sorry, I wasn't around to answer your question. If I feel Sporting would win, taking -1 is not a bad thing, you just have a chance of pushing if they don't get the second. I like to look for teams to just win in soccer, it's tough enough because draws can screw you. Sporting came through on the parlay. And what a comeback by the Red Devils, I thought my first parlay was dead in the water at half time. Man United just dominated that 2nd half.

Ice - I like your picks and way of approaching the game.
Question - what do you think of action that selects a WIN OR DRAW for a game? Obviously the reward is greatly reduced but at least you are covered on two of the three possible outcomes. I also have a site that offers "draw - no bet" action. Just another way to manage the risk, imo.
Any opinion appreciated.

Well, Pinny (where I play) doesn't have this option, so I have never used it (I made up my own a few times on straight wagers where I took the team to WIN and then backed it up on the DRAW option) Obviously, this is a much safer route when you are backing up a team to win with the tie. However, the juice on this (when you are taking a huge fave to win) is very high. So there is next to no value in doing this, unless you are taking a small fave. Hope that helps.
Alright, I'm playing a straight wager in the Champs League today.
Taking OVER 2.5 (-101) in the Chelsea/Barca game.
