Another parlay for Friday...


4 TEAM PARLAY (125/300) Bet365
BAYERN MUNICH -300 over Borussia Moenchengladbach (German Bundesliga I)
CLUBBE BRUGGE -400 over Mouscron (Belgium First Division)
CORK CITY -333 over Waterford (Ireland Premier Division)
FENERBAHCE -175 over Genclerbirligi (Turkey Super Lig)

 

[AFLGuru]

This Fenerbache line seems fishy to me...

 

[MarkieMark+]

This is an away match for Fenerbahce so I don't think this line is too much out of whack. Also, this line has been skewed because Anelka will not play for Fenerbahce due to injury (?) and they will play with only one striker up front. A low scoring Fenerbahce win (2-0) should be the result today.

Genclerbirligi lost 6 important players at the end of last season. The new signings in the off-season were many but none of them are exceptional players. Fenerbahce come into this season virtually the same as last season. There was only one transfer (Stephen Appiah from Juventus) during the off-season so this team is a cohesive bunch, as was demonstrated in their 5-0 win over Everton in a freindly last Saturday.

I've tried this before, so let's try it again...

Can we get a late Cork strike please... be a nice parlay hit if they did

 

[coconutman]

Don't think it's going to happen =/

 

[AFLGuru]

Yeah, not meant to be today... get 'em tomorrow my friend

Saturday, August 6

Sorry guys, Cork City let us down. But REAL soccer gets under way today! League One is already ripe for the picking:

YESTERDAY:0-2-0 (-3.81 UNITS)
2005 TOTAL: 298-246-9 (54.9%) +61.34 UNITS
2004 TOTAL: 204-148-4 (58.0%) +59.92 UNITS
OVERALL TOTAL TO DATE: 502-394-13 (56.2%) +121.26 UNITS

TODAY'S PICKS
ENGLAMD LEGUE ONE
Nottingham Forest vs. Huddersfield: DRAW +220 (100/220) Bet365
C'mon TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grain of salt!
BRISTROL CITY -120 over Doncastrer (240/200) William Hill
I have chosen Bristol City to WIN League One so I had better back them on opening day! YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
MK DONS +125 over Bournemouth (200/250) Bet 365
This is the juiciest line of the weekend. The Dons should be a contender this year and Bournemouth have a lot of issues to deal with, on and off the pitch.

Good Luck

Late late daggers, twice against MKD, and then Huddersfield... Bristol never getting out of the gate either... rough morning Mark...

Interesting just FYI, if you took under 2.5 in every single game in England league action today (with 1 game pending, Southampton/Wolverhampton), you would have gone 21-13...

One more for Tuesday.....


ENGLAND LEAGUE 1
Port Vale vs. Gillingham; DRAW +230 (130/300) Pinnacle

 

[AFLGuru]

Hey Mark, your picked champs are playing at your team today... not calling for the upset (even though the odds really wouldn't suggest it with Huddersfield only +130 while Bristol City is +185?) Good luck today

 

[MarkieMark+]

Guru, I am staying very far away from the Huddersfield - Bristol City match. This game is a toss up. Marcus Stewart, an ex-Hudds striker and fan favourite, returns to Huddersfield as a Bristol City striker and you can bet he will be very motivated today, along with the rest of Bristol City, after a disappointing draw in their home opener on Saturday. Huddersfield are also a contender for promotion this season and they will be highly motivated since this is their home opener. Also, Hudds will want to make amends for coming home empty handed after allowing a late goal against Forest on the weekend. If I HAD TO make a selection, I would go with the DRAW @ +210.

 

[MarkieMark+]

Bradford City are looking bad today. Down 0-1 at the half and down to 10 men as Holloway is sent off.

 

[AFLGuru]

Well Mark, on the plus side, your boys won today... but the defeat of Bristol City isn't going to improve their chances of winning Division 1, albeit two games into the season...

But breaking even and your team winning? Gotta be alright with you... Wish I had noticed that draw play of your's before about 20 minutes ago though...

 

[MarkieMark+]

Love wins over money every time so I am VERY PLEASED with the Huddersfield Town WIN!

Way to go lads!!

A revenue neutral day on Tuesday (1-1-0; +0.00 UNITS). I am 2 for 2 on DRAWS over the last 2 days. Maybe it's a sign.

Mark--

Is this the first leg of this round of CL today? I believe it was the first go around for Man U yesterday, but I wasn't sure. Just checking. Best of luck. I'm feeling good luck today.

 

[MarkieMark+]

Yes, this is the first leg of this round in CL.

 

[AFLGuru]

Kinda figured... throw $25 on a parlay of these 3 at 5dimes Mark... good feelings... (like when you dropped $10 on that Faroe Islands team Liverpool ended up killing to draw at like 25-1)
