January soccer

[rolltide]

yeah i was sure wishing i just took the simple over 2.5 when it was 0-2 in 5 minutes

humbling year for us United guys....every time i think we hit bottom, there's one more level to drop. how about ZERO shots on goal against a fn greek team in 80 minutes of play so far? that rock bottom yet?

That looked like City-Wigan FA Cup final...no heart for an unwanted coach...why even keep chicarito around....Ferdinand shoulda took a red toward end as well on that studs up tackle

Wow...just wow. With the league slipping away I really expected a better effort today. Cleverley needs to be shipped off...another terrible performance.

snagging all the home teams in a parlay tonight in Copa Libertadores (matches 330, 530, 800)

Cruzeiro + Velez + Arsenal + Gremio .30u to win 1.53u

easy 4-teamer with 13-1 goal difference

YTD 24-7-21 +9.62 (43.81 risked)

Wed 9pm Costa Rica

Cartagines -1 goal .38u to win .50u

- just a tiny bet with nice +132 odds. Cartagines on a bad run, winless in 5, but are still a top 4 team in CR and Perez Zeledon are awful. More a gut feel play than anything so just a real small bet

a second tiny bet on the day using both CL matches today

Real Madrid + Chelsea x2 .50u to win .55u

- I don't see Schalke doing much to hold back Madrid today even though Germans have a very solid record hosting Spaniards. Schalke lack the bite in defensive midfield without Jones and are a little too open (like Zenit yesterday) to not concede a few
- Mourinho, away game in Champions league equals a closed match looking for draw or 0-1 result. I don't know if they'll win but I don't think they lose so i'm parlaying a Real Madrid win with Chelsea +1/2 goal

8pm Copa Libertadores

Flamengo .74u to win .50u

- big class diff b/w Ecu and Bra teams and Emelec have failed to scores in 9 of their last 10 Copa Lib matches.

 

[indiana]

R/T..........no C.L. or Costa Rica, not available............ but with you on Flamengo...........good luck........indy

cartago bet lost 2-2, other two won. 1.62u staked, +0.67 won

YTD 26-7-22 +10.29 (45.43 risked)

 

[indiana]

R/T...............nicely done...........thank you.............indy

three from Europa League today

12pm Betis .18u to win 1u
- Betis terrible season and now 11 points from safety so pretty much giving up on the league and will go all-out in Russia today. Horrible weather, snowy and 15 degrees, but really any result possible and obviously Spanish team has plenty of talent so could put it together for 2 hours

1pm Shakhtar/Plzen over 2.5 .50u to win .35u
- saw first match and many chances were missed especially by Shakhtar. Plzen defense in champions league was historically poor but they definitely like to attack.

3pm Benfica/PAOK under 2.5 .75u to win .65u
- i had the misfortune of watching the first leg where there were 3 total shots on goal in 90 minutes. It was horrible football and the goal scored should have been disallowed for being a yard offside. Benfica have allowed 1 goal in last 13 games (read that again!) with 7 straight home shutouts

 

[indiana]

R/T.............nicely done.........great call with Betis...............indy

 

[rolltide]

crusher to lose u2.5 at 0-0 with 20 min left but such is life... 2-1 today +0.60 off 1.43 staked


YTD 28-7-23 +10.89 (46.86 risked)
