Two weekends ago I went 3-1 and last weekend I was 2 minutes away from hitting my +260 parlay to go 3-1 but I had to settle for a 2-2 record. I'm hoping for another 3-1 (at least) record this weekend. I'll post closer to the weekend. I wanted this to server as a placeholder.

All of these picks will be from Norway's Tippeligaen League.

I'm really liking Strømsgodset -1 -124 at home on Sunday, playing against Stabæk. They've won 8 in a row at home in the league and are coming off a loss on the road to Lillestrøm last week. They are currently in 3rd place in the tables and truly are a home/road team. I can't believe I bet them on the road last week.

I am also favoring Odd (once again) who are still stinging (as am I) from their draw last weekend at home when Viking tied up the match in the 90th minute. This should give them added motivation.

Official picks will come closer to the weekend.

I'm going to go with a strange underdog:

Start +1.5 -131 over Sarpsborg 08
Sarpsborg is at home but they had a string of 3 matches in a row without winning by more than 1 goal until they won against Lillestrøm a couple weeks ago.

Start is in the bottom of the league but this is due in part because of their horrendous home record. They have not lost by more than 1 goal in their last 5 matches.

Another home team (Haugesund) looks good to me as well. I'll make a final pick Saturday.

Sarpsborg 1, Start 0

WINNER!!

How many times do you bet on the last place team and win the bet?

Saturday's match is postponed. More pics Saturday night for Sunday's action.

Yes great call on start at +1.5 quantum!

Yes great call on start at +1.5 quantum!

Thanks shady. I'm trying to think like a square and bet the opposite in select situations.

[shadymcgrady]

Ah the inverse. Keep up the great work regardless

[QuantumLeap]

Thanks again shady.

Going with:

Odd ML -156 over Brann
Going with Odd at home again. They won 4 home matches in a row (and 10 home matches out of 14) before coming up with a draw last week. They will be motivated to bring home 3 points for their home fans.

Brann has lost 6 out of their last 8 road matches.

[QuantumLeap]

Strømsgodset -1 -116 over Stabæk
Stabæk have had some good fortune in their last 3 road matches. However, that was against 2 of the lower teams and a slipping Lillestrøm. Now they are faced with 3rd place Strømsgodset.

Strømsgodset have won their last 8 home matches!

[QuantumLeap]

It's already Strømsgodset 2, Stabæk 1 after 7 minutes.



Strømsgodset had been scoring a lot early in the league but had been on a scoring drought the past couple games so I didn't take them on the over.

[QuantumLeap]

Loss Brann 3, Odd 1
Loss Strømsgodset 2, Stabæk 2

This week:
1-2

Today has been the weirdest day, your plays were solid just one of those days. I was mins away from a 8teamer $2k payday, there's always tomorrow..

[shadymcgrady]

Right on stack those were solid picks quantum

[QuantumLeap]

Thanks guys. You're right. Weird week. Vålerenga (2nd from bottom) won 3-0 today.
