    GL

    City second in the table and won`t move up or down no matter the outcome. Villa in the relegation spot, can move out of it with a win or draw. Villa has a shitty defense but I wouldn`t lay a goal here.....Villa will put up a fight.

    Yeah, City might trash them and they do have the firepower to do it....

    del...what's that exactly?

    i'm following along with interest (1 unit's worth)...

    __________
    1 more question to OP/any resident soccer-weenies...

    the new 1st leg is ManCity -1...they're currently up 1-0...if it ends this way...is this another push (or would it be a loss...damn, when soccer draws are pushes and when they are losses is inscrutable to me)

    Bad spot to bet Cavs, Knicks win by 6.

    What I really like is the fact the Knicks only have 1 win ats in the last 10 games with a push. They should be playing with a little extra incentive after losing 6 of 10 and coming off blowing the game vs the Heat yesterday.

    To make it sweeter the Cavs have covered 7 of 10 and had covered 6 straight before losing to the Clippers.

    not bitichin' at all...0-2 is very unexceptional as a start to a series of bets...but coming after two draws, it just makes ya' impatient to get the damn parlay goin'...how 'bout a nice moderate-to-high chalk ML play that we wouldn't expect to "sweat" too much through...

    hey guys, I'm going to give this 10 team open parlay one more try. But this time, I am really going slow. Not going to rush any picks. I don't care if it takes me a month to fill all the spots.

    Also, looking at lines no higher than -175. So if you guys feel like there is a good line for a bet your confident in, let me know so I can look into it.

    Also like Leeds +1 vs. Leicester , but that's just a lean. Any thoughts on the game? I found a nice article from Leeds United website.

    I don't follow anyone's picks. Just looking at the props and matchups on sftc itself can be helpful sometimes. What I try to do is try to look at matchups in the perspective of oddsmakers; see why a line is given a certain way. Remember they're trying to take your money, not let you win.

    Covers is a good for such as well...

    play around with this super-handy customizable score-board...for every game there's a "matchup" link that quite concisely puts together lots of stats and consensus% numbers at-a-glance

    http://scores.covers.com/custom-scores.aspx

    even if u don't lyk for matchup stats...it's super handy as a scoreboard for just the games you like

    I was looking at what an open parlay was, as i dont think we have them in UK. This comment from Justin7 has gained my interest:

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/players-ta...on-survey.html

    1. Correlated. With the exception of sportsbook.com, any book that takes these pays them.
    2. Volume. If a book is only taking nickels on a small, easy to beat market, try mixing it in with parlays. A nickel in a parlay (or 10 nickels in parlays) often don't move the line, when a straight bet would. A minor warning though - books dislike this, and will take countermeasures against you, although they should honor the bets.

    Which correlated markets can you take and put them in the open parlay? Can you do for example in soccer; TEAM A to win, and Team A to win at half time? Im a bit confused..
