Brazil Carioca Soccer ** Game starts at 2 PM Eastern

This is a 4 unit bet

Botafogo vs Resende over 3 goals - 135 @ Bookmaker

Botafogo has suffered only one loss so far in Carioca play. They are coming off a 4-1 win against Madureira. Botafogo scored two or more goals in five of their last six games. Resende has only one win out of their last six games. They scored two or more goals in three of their last five games. That just shows how bad their defense has been.

This is a 3 unit bet

Straubing Tigers vs ERC Ingolstadt over 6 goals - 110 @ The Greek

The Straubing Tigers playoff chances are at slim and none as they sit ten points behind Adler Mannheim for the last spot. The Tigers have won their last two games which put an end to a four game losing streak. Ingolstadt is tied with the Frankfurt Lions for fifth place in the league. Ingolstadt is ahead of the Lions in goal differential by seven goals. Ingolstadt will look to end a two game losing streak today. There was a total of 16 goals scored in the last two games between these two teams.

Chile Apertura Soccer ** Game starts at 6:30 PM Eastern

This is a 4 unit bet

Audax Italiano vs Cobreloa over 3 goals + 107 @ The Greek

Audax Italiano has started the Apertura with a win,loss and a draw. They scored two or more goals in each of the three games. The bad news has been on defense where they have conceded a total of nine goals. Cobreloa has two wins out of their three games so far. The fact for this game is that neither team has been shutout or kept a clean sheet in a game so far in Apertura play.

* This bet is also available at over 2.5 goals but with odds of - 150 @ Bookmaker

Finland Korisliiga Basketball ** Game starts at 11:30 AM Eastern

This is a 5 unit bet

Kouvot vs UU Korihait game total over 159 points -110 @ The Greek

Kouvot has won nine of their last ten games. They are sitting in second place just one point behind first place Pyrinto. Kouvot scored 81 or more points in four of their last five games. Today they will play UU Korihait who is holding on to a playoff spot by just five points over Kataja. Korihait is coming off a 111-96 loss against Honka. Kouvot can take over first place for a few days with a win but they are playing a Korihait team trying to nail down a playoff spot. I think defense goes out the door today.

Holland Jupiler Soccer ** Game starts at 2 PM Eastern

This is a 4 unit bet

Dordrecht vs Eindhoven over 3 goals - 123 @ The Greek

Dordrecht has only three wins out of their last ten league games. They are holding onto a playoff spot by just three points. The problem for Dordrecht has been on defense as they had only one clean sheet out of their last ten games. They will host an Eindhoven team that is on a five game winning streak. Eindhoven scored three or more goals in each of the five wins. Eindhoven is six points behind Den Bosch for the final playoff spot. The problem for Eindhoven is that they have the worst goal differential of the top fourteen teams in the league. Dordrecht walked away with an 8-0 win when these two teams played earlier this season. I doubt Eindhoven gets shutout today in what I expect will be a goalfest.

Any chance you could point me to a site(s) that gives results for these games? Thanks

JOH,

livescore.net has both scores and I also use xscores.com but they do not have Finland basketball scores.

England Championship Soccer ** Game starts at 2:45 PM Eastern

This is a 4 unit bet

Cardiff vs Peterborough over 2.5 goals - 128 @ The Greek

Cardiff is coming off a 5-1 loss at Newcastle. That was only their second loss out of their last ten league games. Cardiff is tied with Swansea for fourth place in the league but Cardiff is ahead in goal differential by thirteen goals. Peterborough on the other hand is sitting in last place in the league. They are nine points from safety so relegation is looking more likely. Peterborough conceded two or more goals in each of their last four away games. Peterborough manager Jim Gannon has switched to a 3-5-2 formation as they look to play the role of spoiler.

Germany DEL Hockey ** Game starts at 1:30 PM Eastern

This is a 3 unit bet

Hannover Scorpions vs Eisbaren Berlin over 6 goals - 110 @ The Greek

With just eleven games left in the season I think it is safe to say that Eisbaren Berlin has locked up first place. They have a 19 point lead over the second place Metro Stars. Eisbaren has won eight of their last nine games. They scored four or more goals in each of their last four games. The Hannover Scorpions are in a battle with three other teams for fourth place in the league. The Scorpions picked up three wins out of their last five games.

Thanks, I knew about livescore, wondered if you had others. ^

Scotland Division 3 Soccer ** Game starts at 2:30 PM Eastern

This is a 4 unit bet

Annan vs Berwick over 2.5 goals + 116 @ The Greek

I just noticed this bet. This will be Annan's second game since mid-December. They have delt with many postponments because of snow. Annan is a hefty ten points behind Forfar for the last playoff spot. The Berwick Rangers are sitting in third place just three points ahead of fourth place Forfar. Berwick is also ahead of Forfar in goal differential by just one goal. This could be a good game to improve on that stat. Berwick scored a total of seven goals in their last two away games. Today though they will be playing a well rested Annan team. I expect a goalfest.

France Cup soccer **Game starts at 2PM Eastern

This is a 5 unit bet

St Etienne vs Vannes over 2 goals - 154 @ The Greek

St Etienne is coming off a 3-0 win against Monaco in league play. That leaves St Etienne seven points above the relegation zone. St Etienne scored a total of six goals in their last two cup games. Today they will play a Vannes team that is just four points above the relegation zone in Ligue Two. Vannes has suffered only one loss out of their last six games played. Vannes played to a 3-3 draw against Grenoble in their last cup match. Vannes scored a goal in extra time to advance. These are two teams that seem to be playing better in cup games than league play. I expect both teams to score and over she blows.

I had you 1-2 (-580) yesterday -440 300 -440 ... The hockey score was 4-3. What am I missing? Penalty kick tiebreaker doesn't count?

Adler Mannheim vs Hamburg Freezers over 6.5 goals - 110 @ The Greek

We are getting down to the wire with just eleven games left in the season. Adler Mannheim is holding onto the last playoff spot. Mannheim is tied with the Augsburger Panthers for ninth place but trails the Panthers in goal differential by four goals. Mannheim is also holding onto the last playoff spot by just one point over the Iserlohn Roosters. Iserlohn has a tough game today against the Krefeld Pinguine's who are just three points behind them. Mannheim will be playing the Hamburg Freezers today who are just four points above the last place Kassel Huskies. The Freezers have slim to none playoff chances as they sit twelve points behind Mannheim for the final spot. Mannheim has won their last two games and they scored a total of nine goals in the two games. The Freezers will look to play the role of spoiler today.

France National Soccer ** Game starts at 2 PM Eastern

This is a 3 unit bet

Cannes vs Moulins over 2.5 goals + 107 @ The Greek

Cannes is tied with Frejus for fifth place in the league but Cannes trails in goal differential by seven goals. In fact Cannes has the worst goal differential of the top eight teams in the league. Moulins on the other hand is just three points above last place Louhans. Moulins has only one win out of their last ten games. They kept only one clean sheet out of the last ten games. This is a game for Cannes to improve on their goal differential and they are coming off a 3-1 home win against Rouen. They will be playing a Moulins team that was shutout in only one of their last seven games.

This is a 4 unit bet

Turk Telekom vs Besiktas over 167 points - 110 @ The Greek

Besiktas is just five points behind first place Efes Pilsen with twelve games remaining in the season. Besiktas has won three of their last four games. They scored 91 or more points in each of the wins. Turk Telekom is sitting in fifth place just a point behind third place Besiktas. Telekom has won five of their last six games. Two of the hottest teams in the league face off today and I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

England League One ** Game starts at 10 AM Eastern

This is a 5 unit bet

Brentford vs Wycombe over 2.5 goals - 101 @ The Greek

Brentford is sitting in the middle of the League One Table. They are twelve points away from a playoff spot and eight points above the relegation zone. Brentford has scored a total of eight goals in their last three home games. Wycombe is desperate for points as they are sitting in the relegation zone and are six points from safety. Wycombe has defensive problems as they did not keep a clean sheet in any of their last ten games. Wycombe has a streak of five straight games without being shutout and they will go against a Brentford defense that has only one clean sheet out of their last five games.

Germany BBL Basketball ** Game starts at 1:30 PM Eastern

This is a 3 unit bet

Paderborn Baskets vs Phantoms Braunsc game total over 150.5 points - 110 @ The Greek

Paderborn is sitting in last place in the league but is just two points from getting out of the relegation zone. Paderborn is on a four game losing streak. They conceded 84 or more points in three of the four defeats. Phantoms Braunsc is in a five way tie for the last playoff spot. Braunsc is on a three game winning streak. These two teams played at the end of January with Braunsc walking away with a 90-65 win. Paderborn struggled in the first quarter trailing 20-5 at the end of the quarter. Both teams have alot to play for today and if was not for that first quarter the last game between these two teams would have been alot closer.

Brazil Paulista Soccer ** Game starts at 4:30 PM Eastern

This is a 4 unit bet

Paulista vs Bragantino over 3 goals + 108 @ The Greek

Paulista has started off with only two wins out of the seven games they have played so far. The problem for Paulista has been on defense as they conceded two or more goals in six of the seven games. Now the Paulista defense will face a Bragantino team that has yet to be shutout in the seven games they have played. In fact Bragantino scored two or more goals in three of their last four games. The Bragantino defense has gone six straight games without a clean sheet and now they will face a Paulista team that scored two or more goals in four of their last six games. I doubt this will be a defensive battle.

This is a 3 unit bet

Guadalajara Chivas vs Atlante over 3 goals + 113 @ The Greek

Chivas has started the Clausura with four straight wins. They scored two or more goals in each of the wins. Javier Hernandez Balcazar is the man of the hour for Chivas as he has scored seven of their eleven goals. Atlante is still looking for their first win in the Clausura. Atlante's only away game so far was a 5-1 thumping at Pachuca. Atlante was not shutout in any of their last three games. They will go against a Chivas defense that has only one clean sheet. We should see some goals tonight.

* Game will be shown live on Telemundo

BT Teramo vs Montepaschi Siena game total over 158.5 points - 110 @ The Greek

Montepaschi Siena has yet to lose a game this season through seventeen games. They have a hefty ten point lead over second place Armani J Milano. Siena scored 90 or more points in seven of their last eight games. BT Teramo is two points behind Lottomatica Roma for the last playoff spot. Teramo has not helped themselves by losing three of their last five games. Teramo really needs to try and keep this game close as they do not want to lower their + 51 point differential. They will have their hands full with Siena.

Beira Mar vs Fatima over 2.5 goals + 114 @ The Greek

Beira Mar is sitting in first place and can expand their lead over second place Oliveirense to seven points with a win. Beira Mar was not shutout in any of their last ten games. In fact they are on a streak of seven straight games of scoring two or more goals. Today Beira Mar will face a Fatima team that is just five points above the relegation zone. Fatima has not helped themselves by winning only one of their last seven games. All three past games between these two teams ended with three or more goals scored. That should be four after today's game.

Straubing Tigers vs Hannover Scorpions over 6 goals - 110 @ The Greek

With ten games left in the season, the Hannover Scorpions are sitting in seventh place just four points behind fourth place Frankfurt. The Scorpions have the worst goal differential of the top seven teams in the league and this could be the game to improve that stat. The Straubing Tigers are twelve points behind Kolner for the last playoff spot so their chances are slim and none. The Tigers scored three or more goals in each of their last four games so they could cause a problem for the Scorpions.

Hannover Scorpions vs Straubing Tigers over 6.5 goals + 100 @ The Greek

These two teams played this past weekend with the game ending in a 4-4 draw at the end of the third period and Hannover getting the winner in overtime. The Scorpions are in a battle with Frankfurt and the Sabo Ice Tigers for fourth place in the league. What is not helping Hannover is their -8 goal differential which is the worst of the top nine teams in the league. The Straubing Tigers are out of the playoff picture as they sit eleven points behind Kolner for the last spot with just nine games left. The Tigers do have a streak of five straight games of scoring three or more goals so they could cause problems again for the Scorpions.
