Inter- Ajax

chriscol · Mar 14, 2006

Can somebody explain me, why the line is constantly moving towards Ajax since two day?
Lines opened at Inter -1,-1.5, now it is at -1 @ 1.98 in some places...
I dont see a chance for Ajax here. They are not a good team this year..look at the dutch standings and try to find them...
If not for some crazy first 20 min in the first leg Inter was all over them and fully deserved coming back from a 0-2 to draw. Now they need a win to advance, which they will get..hopefully with two goals.

Inter -1 @ 1.98

I don't like the idea of betting on a heavily favoured Italian team, that don't have to win. But you're right, Ajax are crap this year, so I can't bet on them either. No bet for me.

Good luck to you though!

Duck, I used to think that, "I don't like the idea of betting on a heavily favoured Italian team, that don't have to win.", as well, but unless we run this by some database, or at least some past results to see if teams (favourites and underdogs) that didn't need to win in a two way knockout game either because they had won on the previous game, or drawn, DID actually fare worse than the indicated odds (plus commision of course) we really can't be sure. That is of course unless you have done so. I am not saying you are wrong here, I am saying we just can't be sure.

Well, in general I don't like betting on any heavily favoured teams that don't have to win - I said the same thing last week regarding Villarreal -1 v Rangers. But you're right, I don't have any stats to prove that Italian teams are different that other teams in this regard.

οk.

my boy charisteas played for 15 minutes today but ajax youngsters fresh from their playing school thought they could pass their way to the italiand defence, yeah right, and didn't put any decent crosses in the area for charistea's crowned head, crowned with the european title that, but I kept watching them really dumb, really talented boys, passing from one side to the other, dribbling, then passing, and passing, and attempting to get closer, and you could tell they didn't know shit about footballs no. 1 rule that all top class soccer teams are aware of, when you are 1 goal down, and need 2 goals, playing away, to a better team, it's not time for a disciplined, passing game, because you are to put it mildly, fucked, you gotta asap start playing long balls into the area, try to get some headers, foul a lot too, get a few corners if you can, bring your goalie in the opponents area for the last couple of corners (casillas did it for madrid, are the dutch above such tactics), above all whine and complain constantly to the ref, hit your opponents, mess up each and every rule of organised play, hoping that the world turns on its head, because like I said, you 're already fucked, so you got nothing to lose....

Boys, jackie (who by the way has got an extra sore, excuse my french, ass by dropping yet another 3-4 units on a 1.3 favourite at the bball euroleague, third so far, i am actually 0-3 in 1.2-1.3 euroleague bball favs, great going jack)well the self same jack with all my succint and learned analysis into ajax's game is going to be ajax's new head coach...hehehe...

and by appointment too!
