Danish League [Mens]
Viborg HK v. Holstebro 23-23 Dead
Very rare to see a draw in hand ball. Road team was leading with two goals a few minutes to go, but still managed to screw themselves and the rest of us over.
European Championship [Via Bet365]
Norway v. Slovenia 1.H - u 28.5 @ 1.85
Norway v. Slovenia total u 57.5 @ 1.85
Counting on few 2 min suspensions, a slow offensive play by Slovenia, goalkeepers playing decent, a handful of misses and Norway not utilizing their fast breaks at an optimal rate. I don't see both teams being able to produce a goal every minute.
The total can be chosen as a live bet, judging on how the match proceeds.
France v. Spain 1.H - o. 26.0 @ 1.90
Very dependent on goalkeepers' form tonight, but I see both teams as being capable of scoring at least 13 times each within 30 mins.

Made a parlay for fun:
Norway v. Slovenia u 59,5
France v. Spain o. 50,5
Combined @ 1.925
France v. Spain only need 10 goals in 15 mins,
Norway v. Slovenia must score less than 13 goals in 12 mins,
Still not feeling safe about any of these

Ok Norway abandons defending and lets Slovenia go rampant u 28 is probably dead, the french/spanish is gonna be a tight squeeze tooOriginally Posted by Wordsworth
28 goals in Norway v. Slovenia match close call but capped
Lets hope they don't score more than 29 combined in 2nd half
13-15 France v. Spain, another close one but capped
W/L Ratio: 3-2
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-16-12 at 12:03 PM. Reason: Typo
8 mins to score more than 12 goals in Norway v Slovenia match, but probably gonna be another tight squeeze
Parlay looks good though and France v. Spain is closing is capped
Edit: Norway goalie is a #%&!ing bulwark, under will most-likely cap
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-16-12 at 12:40 PM. Reason: match update
W/L ratio 5 - 2
Dogs winning tonight
Thanks to Norway and Slovenia teams for great action
Fast pick [via Bet365]
Hungary v. Russia 1H o 27 @1.9
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-16-12 at 01:08 PM. Reason: typo
Game progressing slower than I am comfortable with, But if they keep the ratio of 10 goals pr. 10 mins I'll be content
Wish I had gone for the over in the Iceland v. Croatia match both are pretty much applying gung ho strategy at the moment12 goals after ten mins FFS
Update:
20 goals after 15 mins, only need 8 goals in 15 mins - think I'm gonna cap this one
Made a live bet on Iceland Croatia match u 29.5 @ 1.90 after 15 mins. Game slowed down and odds dropped dramatically moments after. Will not include it in my W/L ratio though
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-16-12 at 01:40 PM. Reason: Match update
Score 16-12 after 22 mins
Capped 5/5 games tonight
W/L 6-2
29 goals 1h my live u 29,5 made it. I knew it all the time [cough], great action
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-16-12 at 01:55 PM. Reason: Live bet update
nice work dude! where do you bet? 365 i assume as i dont know anywhere else that has such a wise range of sports to bet? Where are you from?
JA
Most sportsbooks have handball, I mainly use Pinnacle and they have it. I only bet on those sports drunk however
Yeah I use bet 365, they seem to offer the most diverse range of totals for 1h and match-totals. But I think most bookies have handball in their portfolio.
Today's picks
Mens European Championship [17.01.12 via Bet365]
Czech Rep. vs. Sweden 1H o. 25,5@1,85
Serbia vs Denmark 1h o. 26,5 @2.00
Im not sure whether the lines will move much, it's a niche sports compared to for example soccer. Probably wait till live bets because you sometimes can get a better alternative 1h total, for example I got Denmark v. Slovakia 1h u 29,5 @ 1,80 in their opening match
Will be posting one more play and a parlay later when I get home from work
Update:
Serbia v. Denmark Total o. 53 @1.85
Parlays
Czech Rep. vs. Sweden
Macedonia v. Germany
Combined @ 2.47
Czech Rep. vs. Sweden fulltime o. 48,5 @1,31
Serbia vs Denmark fulltime o.50,5 @1,37
Combined @ 1.80
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-17-12 at 09:04 AM. Reason: typos & pick updates
Germany not playing particularly convincing. In case they should win, it's gonna be with a close margin. I had considered the 1h under 26,5 for the match and regret quite alot, seing how things are progressing - 1 goal every 1 min and 20 secs, jeeez
And I hope my picks for later tonight won't follow the same tendency
12-12 after first half, what an abomination. I hope zeh Germans take it home, just out of shear experience
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-17-12 at 11:56 AM.
For the adventurous I can recommend:
Live u. 51,5 total @ 2.00
Gonna do it my self too
Edit: oh snap line just dropped to @1.72 stay away lol
Edit 2: it fluctuates, keep an eye on it, if it reaches 2.00 again go for it
Edit 3: it changed to 50,5 @2.00. Made a small bet, anything above 27 goals will kill it in second half. Not gonna include it in my total W/L though, just like my other live bet
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-17-12 at 01:11 PM.
Germany isn't gonna pull this off, my risky parlay is probably dead
On the bright side they are producing 8 goals pr ten mins, I hope this tendency continues, to save my live u 50,5. I probably jinxed my self there
Germany conceeding way too many suspencions, crushed my parlay but will probably save my live u. 50,5. timeout now need to score 6 goals in 2 mins and 30 secs, not gonna happen
Update: Germany taking the lead, 1 goal up 45 secs to go, the tension omg - go defense !
Match is over!!! 23-24 Germany did it ! Parlay lives ! my under 50,5 made it ! gogogo Sweden
Thanks to both Germany and Macedonia for awesome action
Looking forward to the Scandinavian teams playing in 10 mins against Czech Rep and host from Serbia
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-17-12 at 01:09 PM.
Serbia v. Denmark
22 goals in 30 mins... FFS, over in 1H is dead keeping my fingers crossed for the total 53,5 and 50,5 in my parlay
Can't believe I didn't anticipate the tough defending by both teams, sigh
And goal keeper Landin from Denmark is picking every shot and the same by Stanic in the opposite goal taking 3/4 penalty throws FFS
Shot efficiency at 15 mins:
Denmark 56%
Serbia 30%
Both overs Denmark is involved in - including one of my parlays are Dead unless one of the teams completely collapses. What a disappointment
Live bet
u 47,5 @1.90
Not looking good so far
Czech Rep. v. Sweden
11 - 15 after 22 mins o. 25,5 has capped
Score at half 17 - 19
Gonna take a rest before I start chasing stuff, will be back later once matches have ended
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-17-12 at 02:43 PM.
Serbia v. Denmark
24-22, 46 goals Another close call, at least my live under 47,5 made at half time made me end up in greens tonight
Offensively both teams were a great disappointment tonight, as were my pre-match picks
Looking forward for tomorrow. Promise I will work harder and spread the risk even more
W/L Ratio 8 - 5 not including live picks

Update
Mens European Championship [Via Bet365]
France v. Russia 1h o 27 @1.90
Spain v. Hungary 1h o27,5 @1.90
Both outcomes are dependent on the same attacking/less focused defending that all four teams seemed to apply in their first matches. Furthermore, we will need few or even amount of power plays, below average goalkeeping and efficient goal attempts reaching aroung 60%. Will be needing an average goal every 1 min and 5 secs, I can see this happen in both matches. GL
On a side note if total is less than 8 goals after ten minutes, I can pretty much write both off as losses. So please tail at your own risk. And chosing an u.[total] live or u.[total1h]will be a viable way to hedge
Iceland v. Norway 1h u 28 @ 1.85
Parlay
Croatia -1,5 v. Slovenia
Iceland v. Norway
Combined @2.04
Currently considering a parlay consisting of matches in womens leagues in Denmark and Germany respectively, will post later
Also, keep an eye out for the live bets in the four championship matches tonight, most value is derived from there- at least in my experience.
Update 2
Danish League Womens [via Bet365]
Randers HK v. Aarhus SK u. 47,5 @1.85
Home team has one of the toughest defences in the league, and Aarhus has show variable capability to produce a lot of goals on the road. Under for the whole match seems viable. GL
Added a Parlay, both Womens leagues[Via bet365]
Bundesliga [Germany]
Leipzig -1 v. Oldenburg
Elitserien [Sweden]
Hoors v. Savehof u 52
Combined @1,82
Juicy but viable
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-18-12 at 09:14 AM. Reason: (1) typo, (2) spelling correction, (3) added a play
France playing like crap and still obliterating Russia, not good
27 goals in 1h&%#!ing wankers, one missed shot away from capping I can't believe it
Anyways, I knew it was gonna be a tight squeeze, I hope the same result won't apply for the Hungary v. Spain match although I'm starting to get very un easy about it if it follows the same tendency as this match
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-18-12 at 12:05 PM.
Croatia seem to be puling it off, barely
But the danish match is progressing much faster than I am comfortable with. Under is probably dead too
Horrible evening
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-18-12 at 12:48 PM.
Randers HK v. Aarhus SK dead
Norway & Iceland 28 goals 1h, another margin loss
Spain v. Hungary 3 goals in 8 mins. Absolutely pathetic.
Gonna call it a night, and update W/L ratio later or tomorrow. Criticism is due
Unless I can contemplate some great picks for tomorrow I'll be silent for a while. Tonight has been a disaster
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-18-12 at 01:56 PM.
Only 1 goal in 2 matches respectively, turned tonight into a loss overall
Handball 1h are tough sh!t to predict. Promise I will work harder
Will be back tomorrow with some picks and a revised strategy
W/L Ratio 10-9

Sweden vs. Germany
26 goals after 23 mins, o 25,5 has capped
Poland vs. Denmark
17 goals after 23 mins
Max 9 goals in 7 mins, gonna be a tight one...
25 mins 30 secs: 20 goals total, max 6 in the last 4,5 mins, massive tension
28 mins, 23 goals, timeout, max 3 goals in 2 mins, Im dying lol
1h result: 24 u.27 capped
Now I just need these bastards to score less than 33 goals in 2nd half for my parlay lol
^15 goals in 10 mins, they need to slow the f@ck down
^^Which they did, 46 goals after 22 mins, max 11 goals in 8 mins
^^^27-26 Parlay lives! Kicking myself for not doing a live -0,5 for poland @ 2,5 though
Last edited by Wordsworth; 01-19-12 at 12:45 PM.
Czech Rep v. Macedonia 1h o. 26 @1,85
5-4 after 12 mins, need them to live it up a little in order to cap
^14 goals after 15 mins, just need this tendency to continue
^^Need 10 goals in 10 mins in order to cap
^^^Both teams are playing slower than old people f@cking, o. is dead - damn wankers
0 goals in 5 mins, WTF
^^^^ 5 goals in 10 mins, absolutely pathetic
12-12 1h o.26 loss
Serbia v. Slovakia 1h u 27,5
4-3 after 12 mins, keep this pace and my u. is golden
Serbia needs to turn up offense if my -4,5 is gonna make it. Fortunately Slovakia has been one of the worst performing teams in 2nd half, with Serbia being the direct opposite
^10 goals after 15 mins, max 17 goals in the last 15 mins
^^13-6, 1h over has capped
Just need Serbia to keep the up the flow to secure my -4,5
^Score for 2nd half 4 -10, seriously what a bunch of complacent wankers those serbians are, that is absolutely pathetic
I have nothing positive to say about the serbian national team atm, they are a f@cking disgrace, being outplayed at home by a sub-par team, throwing away a seven goal advantage, they are an embarrasment to the sport
The reason for my outburst is because I had Serbia winning -1,5 with a massive bet, and then they concede 15 goals in second half while only scoring 8, I am abosultely appalled by this lack of proffesionalism and immense complacency by the Serbian team. I wish nothing good for them in their further efforts in the championship, nor their personal and professional lives
Going to abandon this thread, I am way to aggrevated to continue putting money on the line for these worthless, war criminal eastern wankers

Ok, back from my hiatus. Sorry about my rant against the Serbian national team, they underperformed and I lost and let off some steam.
Have been betting with varying results since, and although it's been hard to find value on tonights matches in Europe, I've made a few plays where the numbers add up, but there isn't much of an edge in any of them:
Danish Mens League[via Bet365]:
BSV v. Viborg HK under 53.5 @ 1.85
German Mens League
Kiel v. RNL u 58 @ 1.85
Parlay 1
Barcelona v. Guardalajara o.55.5 goals[Spanish Mens' League]
Skive v. AG Copenhagen -2.5 [Danish Mens' League]
BSV v. Silkeborg u. 56.5 goals [Danish Mens' League]
Total @ 2.37
Parlay 2
Savehof v. Orebro o 49.5 [Swedish womens' league]
Byasen v. Levanger u. 52.5 [Norwegian womens' league]
HSG Wetzlar v Füchse Berlin [German Bundesliga Mens']
Total @ 2.34
W/L ratio so far13-12

Horrible evening again lol, Bookies are doing a great job in setting the O/U, often finding my self winning or losing 1-2 goal margins
