i like both of your top plays.

i would also like your input on Atalanta at home -0.25 and why Lazio is favoured in an away game (and you even backing them).

Thx and good luck

Like in Mario Puzo book....

:103631605

MA I totally respect your plays and follow lots of them especially in serie B. Just wanted to add something about Juve match from last night: It is outrageous, same scenario we had with Napoli....4 penalties we didn't get, i mean 4.....the penalty we were given against it's not the problem. Juve played an oustanding match attacking like crazy even without 4 key players in. We would have won at least by 4 goals. Problem is that it's not possible to go on this way: we can take it up to certain point. That game should be played again, unfortunately in my beautiful country, everything and I mean everything, works like in a book of Mario Puzo. This is scandalous !!! However, there is no way of stoppin' the hungriest, and best team of the world. Props to Roma and Milan, but next year we will meet again, hopefully all the dirt INTER has been doing for the past two years will come up, hopefully we will know more about the financial balance of the society, the falses passports they make for the players they nedd to get in the squad etc etc...LONG LIVE JUVENTUS !

Roma -0.5 -111 (8.5 units)

Roma played last weekend Juventus,then midweek Real,Now Fiorentina,then have Inter and Real again.Obviously this match
today is like a pain in the butt for Roma.On other hand Fiorentina
seems to be highly motivated,would that be enough not sure but
if i had to pick one of the two i would pick the dog AH (x2)here today.

Going to watch and enjoy this match stress free.
Good luck with your plays.

Siena could do damage today. This bottom of the table team is playing some motivated football to avoid relegation. On any given sunday, Atalanta would be a straight -0.75 goal favourite. Sure the -.25 is attractive, but it's not for me. I don't trust Atalanta's defense; with them, the lead is never safe. I pass on Atalanta, but would consider the over 2.25.

LAZIO: Everyone should be favoured against this useless Cagliari bunch. Lazio not exactly sitting in a good spot on the table standings. They absolutely need to take advantage of these opportunities.

best of luck

I strongly believe they will win this game. If you watched the 2-2 at Firenze, earlier in the year, you will understand why.

PALERMO at AC MILAN
Over 2.5 +105 (4 units)

Should be wide open, as Palermo will get caught on the counter-attack on more than one occasion.

Best of luck,

do you think Roma to win CL is worth a bite at 27-1, seems tempting to me after a good first leg

If they get by Real Madrid anything can happen. At this stage you need to play well, and also be lucky. A healthy Totti would help. He's obviously uncomfortable and in some kind of pain. His usual crisp passes were not there against Fiorentina on the weekend. Nonetheless, at 27-1, a one unit play is definetely worthy of consideration.

Boro, what you're missing is that a draw is a very common outcome.

MA, question. is it already known who each team in CL will play should they advance to the quarter finals? or is there another draw? thanks

chriscol · Feb 26, 2008

draw is a very likely occurence in soccer. dont do it or you will get burned within one weekend...the odds are correct

If I'm not mistaken, there is another draw. (Also, if two from the same country are drawn, they are thrown back into the pool to be be redrawn.
Example: If Both Roma and Inter advance (which they won't), they cannot face eachother, if an opponent is available from another UEFA spot like Germany, England, or Spain.

antigold · Feb 26, 2008

Draws are a good play when both teams need the point or when weather conditions are bad. Very common in italian leagues.

BORO · Feb 26, 2008

Thanks for the feedback. I'm new to soccer as stated earlier but a guy that handicaps tennis just send me a play. He's pretty solid. Jamin Becker +140.

BORO · Feb 26, 2008

Another question. If I played 110 on each side and draw, you'll win a little either way. 20-30 dollars is better then a loss. I don't know if these are stupid questions are not.

If you like a team not to lose, which is the case of wanting to put money on draw and side, then play asian handicap either +0.5 for the team you like or pk.

You can't win money if you play both sides and draw. I have never seen odds offered for both sides and draw over +200 on any game.
