MLS All Stars vs West Ham..

[wannabewhale]

Your thoughts???

West Ham the favorite and I can get MLS +.5 -120

Going to the game and wanna root for the MLS Yes on the + or pass??

Thanks

I'll be cheering for the MLS All Stars, but my head says West Ham wins. This game is hard to predict though.

Getting them at +0.5 might be worth a small play just because you're going to the game. Nothing serious, just a small bet.

getting the half looks good on the All Stars

MLS All Stars have won 5 or 6 years in a row in this event vs the club team that's came over

MLS +1/2 is massive value.

Don't know who is offering that.

 

[fhmesq44]

5D will have it but they don't yet.

 

[PhilMoneyMargonis]

yeah that is massive value. no line at pinnacle yet

 

[Cusipz]

+.5 -120 is a great price, wish I could hit it.

The trusty british bookies have West Ham very slight favorites, so +.5 would be huge.

 

[Icemantbi]

Pick West Ham. A team that has played together for a while vs. a team just put together for 1 game will win 90% of the time.

I too am waiting for a line for this game. Will take West Ham up to -1 here.

 

[Icemantbi]

hmm.. just saw that info FMH. Will have to rethink this.

 

[PhilMoneyMargonis]

motivation is important here as well. the MLS team all want to be where West Ham players are- in the EPL or a world class league so they have somethint to prove

West Ham will compete but they are in pre season form while thye MLS side is in mid season form.

 

[wannabewhale]

West Ham won at Columbus 3-1 the other night. Anybody watch and see how they played??
The +.5 is at Hollywood
It looks like my son and I are in the front row behind the goal at the closed end. I will be in my Red #9 Liverpool Torres jersey with my son in his Beckham jersey==both Adidas of course

 

[PhilMoneyMargonis]

anyone have a line on this game yet?

nothing from Pinnacle and they haven't returned my emails about the game

From Betfair:

Match Odds

MLS All-Stars
2.66

West Ham
2.96

The Draw
3.4

they have mls +0.5 at 1.45, pretty far away from -120

 

[HPark1]

game is listed under world friendlies at Pinny.

 

[PhilMoneyMargonis]

thanks Hpark1

i got MLS pk -120 risking 2.5 to win 2

 

[HPark1]

I think its a mandatory play at this price. imo the All Stars should be close to a clean half ball favorite. I'm puzzled at the line.

They comprehensively beat Celtic 2-0 last year, don't see the difference this year.

 

[fhmesq44]

What about Hou, DC and Olympics guys, are they playing for the US?

 

[rolltide]

here's your Houston answer on DeRo and Onstad:
The Canadians have already seen action this week — Brennan in a Canadian Champions league contest on Tuesday, De Roario and Onstad in a regular-season contest on Wednesday — which means they don't come into the all-star game fresh and rested.
Still, all-star coach Steve Nicol guaranteed they would all play against West Ham.

DC United have no all star

no, olympians like Rogers, Parkhurst and Kljestan are not playing

 

[MrCleo]

shouldnt emilio have made it? i dont know many players outside dc united personally so could be a stupid question
