3 Selections Chosen
Man Utd v Portsmouth (Backing Man Utd @ 1.32
Liverpool v Newcastle (Backing Liverpool @ 1.4
Inter v Reggina (Backing Inter @ 1.29)

Pretty much aware Liverpool and Inter facing each other md week and might keep some of their players for that match,however Inter can't afford dropping points now and need to return to winning track before gap from Roma lowered as well as confidence boost prior to facing Liverpool,Liverpool will try keeping the momentum they are in facing team with many problems at home and wishing to remain in top 4.Man Utd...won't like 2nd leg for this round and try to complete its task today at home.

Monday - 2nd Dutch Division.

1 small play for me today just for sake of having some action.

Parlay .

1.AGOVV v Dordrecht Over 2.5 @ 1.57
2.FC Zwolle v Fortuna Sittard 1 @ 1.30

Few stats and facts over these games.
1.Agovv have scored this season 32 goals in 15 home matches while their opponents scored on 15 road games 25 goals this season,so on paper it looks as two teams relying mostly on their strikers,both conceded 30 and 26 goals,so defense doesn't seem convincing.Agovv had 7 out of their recent 8 games with over the posted total of 2.5 and in their last 5 games 30 goals were scored both ways,average of 5 goals per match.Dordecht recently seem to score and concede less than 2.5 ,ending their recent 2 games 1-1,and 3 overs in their recent 8,however total goals as posted indicate most likely for goal scoring here as normally is the case in dutch league.
2.FC Zwolle ranked in 2nd trailing by 2 points after 1st spot with 7 rounds to go and needs the points to remain close to 1st spot which ensures qualifying to top Dutch league without need to play any playoff.in its recent 2 encouters at home vs Sittard they won 1-0 ,3-0 and in first leg this season away beat Sittard at Sittard home field 3-0.Zwolle scored 37 goals in 15 matches home this season and conceded 11,less than a goal in average per match.I believe they are motivated enough to try and win hoping the team in 1st spot playing away tonight might drop some points.

2.FC Zwolle v Fortuna Sittard 1 @ 1.30 2-3
0.4 unit @ 2.04 (Bet365).

First game finished as expected getting the over by the 39th minute of first half.
2nd game ,unfirtunately.Zwolle dropped the lead twice,lost a player due to 2nd yellow card/red and on top conceded once again during injury time.in hindsight playing the over in that match was a better choice.

0-1,(-0.40) today.

Tuesday plays.

Play # 1 for Tuesday.

Thanks to Chris drawing my attention to lower Scottish leagues,
Picking two teams parlay out of his selections for today as follows.

1.Dundee v Livingston 1 @ 1.57 .
2.Ross County v Ayr 1 @ 1.40

Both teams have good track of record at home,Dundee ranked 2nd trailing by 5 pts behind Hamiltion in race for a ticket and need the points along with Ross county in first place in div.2 and a win 4-1 vs Ayr away 4 months ago.

1 unit @ 2.20 (Bet365).

Betting4Fun · Mar 11, 2008

Play # 2 ;Inter v Liverpool .

The question is whether Liverpool will come to play open and try scoring at least once which will kill any real chance for Inter or prefer to focus on defending and invite Inter to attack.At same time Inter can't afford conceding tonight and that comes on top or even before scoring since 1 goal of Liverpool will require them to score 4 which doesn't seem likly to happen.My assumption is that Inter will try and grab a goal fast and that Liverpool will slow the pace at least at start to some degree.Therefore will bet on draw at half time.

Play # 1 - Parlay .

1.Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona v Ironi Kityat Ata 1 @ 1.25 (Israeli cup)
2.Chelsea v Derby County 1 @ 1.10 (EPL)
3.Aston Villa v Middlesbrough 1 @ 1.61 (EPL)

0.33 unit @ 2.21 (Bet365).

Chelsea should be banker,especially after their loss in the cup and opportunity to get closer to Arsenal.
Aston Villa is not bad at home(8W-2D-4L),while Middlesbrough away record is not so good as well.(3W-4D-7L)
Last macth taken form Israeli cup where Home team plays in Div.1 and rank 3rd while away team in Div.3 ranked 2nd.despite the fact few top
teams were kicked out just as happened in England ,this match seem to
me as banker as the championship actually has been decided already despite having 10 rounds to go and the home team will be motivated to try and reach higher throguh the cup to try and get ticket to Uefa next season.

Might have some other plays posted tomorrow.

your first half 0-0 play on INTER/LIVERPOOL was exceptional. You are not betting for fun, you are quite serious about it. Best of luck.

1ST game in parlay # 1 for today has finished as expected with the favorite win and keeping that parlay alive pending the next two games of
Chelsea and ston Villa.

Bet # 2 for today .

The champion league this season as well as last year supporting the claim English teams in general stronger than Italian re,Inter and Milan out this season ,but in this particular match despite the fact i believe Everton in general plays very well at home,i believe that Fiorentina will qualify even if Everton might score here i believe Fiorentina will possibly score too and then kill Everton chances completely as was the case yesterday with Inter and Liverpool.Everton has faced Italian teams in Europian cups 3 times so far and failed in all 3 encounters to pass Italian team,Everton lost at home this season to Man Utd,Arsenal and Liverpool,their good record achieved mostly vs mid/low rank teams in EPL.Fiorentina has not lost even once yet this season any match in Uefa,taking this cup seriously and i see Everton here getting troubles winning the match,possibly 1-0 or Fiorentina scores and ties this and qualifying regardless as i don't see Everton scoring 4 goals here.
Getafe continued the tradition where Benfica in its last 11 games vs Spanish teams have lost 6 and drew 5 without single win!!can't see Bnefica tonight changing the trend when playing poorly on the weekend as well and this season in general.Getafe lost earlier thiss eason at home to Israeli team 2-0 in a disgrace performance where 2 attacks lead to 2 goals and them achieving nothing despite pressing 90 minutes.hopefully this can't happen again!!..LOL,WON'T BE LAUGHING THEN..
Last but not least,i was expecting Tottenham to play way better 1st leg at home,seems to me PSV will be smart enough to keep the advantage form 1st leg along with home crowd around.

Play # 3 .

Just found out Getafe will be missing 9 starters tonight!
On other hand Benfica getting 3 regulars back and with new coach here.
I find it odd though that bookies left Getafe favorite with these news.
For me hedge bet for play # 2 in light of these news,even tho both plays
could win for me and that would be obviously best outcome,such as Draw tongiht or Benfica win along with Getafe qualifying.

After little more checking around and seeing the qualifying stage results,
the weak point in these parlays is Germany u17.

Therefore with the current odds backing Ireland for draw/home win
Figured if Holland wins and should as a banker then can't lose here
either way and actually the value is on Ireland here.

Friday plays

Play # 1 .

1.Waalwijk v AGOVV 1 @ 1.35
2.Volendam v Cambuur 1 @ 1.42

Holland Div. 2 .
Both Waalwijk and Volendam in race for the 1st spot which insures qualification to Div.1 without play off games by end of regular season.
Waalwijk in 1st place ahead of Volendam by 2 points,both facing teams
above relegation zone,Waalwijk won 1st leg this season away 6-2 while
Volendam in its last 2 home matches vs Cambuur won 3-0 and 2-0.
There is no value in any of those straight,not taking it AH and Over which is common in Dutch league might be another option but odds for that not
attractive much and thereforer stick to picking sides ML .

YB ranked 2nd in Swiss league trailing by 6 points after Basel and 6 pts ahead of 3rd place,in its last game away vs St Gallen won 7-2 and in its
last 2 encounters at home won 3-1 and 3-0.
Schalke with break of CL can try and improve its ranking in German league facing team which lost 7 out of 11 away matches this season,i will add them to this parlay and 1-0 for me will do.
