This has Brock Landers ramifications all over the place.

I got Napoli last night +130

This is a revenge game for Napoli, but Chievo are no push over. Chievo will play defensive minded and are just looking to get a point out of this match. The win is for Napoli to take, but wouldn't be surprised if the draw happens as Italian football is definitely a crap shoot

Terrible.

**maersksealand** · 02-02-11, 05:06 PM

well, this is to be expected when betting soccer...the most idiotic sport to bet on. I had only $25 on Napoli for action, glad I lost, a reminder not to bet on this stupid and rigged sport. HoweverI will start paying attention to the East European championship, is that time of the year when they start rigging games heavily...I would let you know when I get something.

Considering I live in [Europe] and have visited most European countries... i'm guessing I can point to it and tell you quite a bit about it.

Yes Italian football has a history of match fixing [certain teams] but that doesn't mean every single game is fixed.

Sometimes your team just simply lost.

I normally don't get too deep into Italian football because how difficult to figure out the refs, intangibles (fixes), etc.
Not a conspiracy guy, just don't trust the whole Serie A act.

Should've taken Palermo instead...

Yeah...all the experts show the heads after the fact

**pavyracer** · 02-02-11, 06:37 PM

Actually southern teams rarely if ever win on the road vs northern teams.

Also most of the fixing is done between the southern, islands teams.

Don't you remember a fix last year involving Chievo? The draw in that game between Chievo and I think it was Parma dropped to like 1.4 pre-match. It was an obvious fix too if you saw how calmly the players walked around etc...

Didn't see today's match but there is fixing in all levels of football, no one can rule anything out and no one can be certain about a fix unless it's obvious.

There were and usually are a few of these "fixed" matches at the end of every Serie A season where the odds on the draw is much lower then the odds on either team to win. I remember that quite a few of them did not pan out the way they where supposed to and a lot of ppl lost on a "sure" thing.

As far as this game is concerned I dont believe it was fixed, Chievo is hard to beat at home and Lavetzzi was not available for Napoli and he is very important to their offense. For the most part its him who feeds the ball to Cavani who scores, with 10 assists hes the assist leader in the league. Napoli starts every game with the same players if they can, there is little rotation because the benchplayers aint of the same quality. So its hard for them to replace a player like Lavetzzi, (newly transfered Mascara was not available).
Its easy to call out reasons to why they lost after the game but I think this played a part among with other things.

I thought this thread was going to be about Mike Napoli, the baseball player

There's no doubt about that. Looking at the board before this match, Napoli was a public favorite and I knew it wasn't going to be easy for them playing away to Chievo. Chievo pulled off results against teams like Inter this season at home.

Anyways what do you think about the Inter game tomorrow?

**ararat2010** · 02-03-11, 07:37 AM

Bari has no chances and Intern need to return in Green zone to play CL next year. Inter -1.25 AH pick. BOL! )

**dbnmln** · 02-03-11, 07:39 AM

boy my $50 and I enjoyed that Napoli win...woo hoo that was some easy $hit.

I think a lot has changed within the group since Benitez was fired, when leonardo took office, we found our form again. I think it has much to do with the harmony in the group because the players has always had the quality to perform. The team has demonstrated good morals by turning the match around against Catania and Palermo. IMO last round against Palermo was the game of the year so far, we where trailing 0-2 at HT. Palermo even got a penalty kick which Cesar saved and we could turn it around and win in the second half, much thanks to Pazzini who scored twice and got us the penalty which Etoo scored the game winning goal on. It takes a lot to win in a scenario like this, so I think the players are in a good state of mind now, very determined that they can win every game. They must not let this confidence to go out of control and become hubris because our defence are still having problems.

Lucio and Cambiasso are our latest casualties, Lucio isnt included in Leos 22-man squad for Bari. Its hard to say exactly how Leo will play tonight, Sneijder is back but can he play from the beginning? can he put Pazzini on the bench after his performance against Palermo? and if not who will not play, Milito? and will Nagatomo get to start in his first game?
I think Chivu will replace Lucio so Maicon, Ranocchia, Chivu and Nagatomo/Natalino form the defensive line, I dont dare to predict which players he intend to start on midfield/strikers. Its going to be very interesting to see.

Bari has been a bit unlucky this season with lots of injuries and red cards, like Inter they´ve been without a bunch of players for a long time but unlike Inter Bari cant replace them as well. Now most of´em are back and ready to go, still dangerous striker Barreto and defensive ace Masiello are missing. Therefore Bari was busy during Januari and signed 6 players which will improve them over the long haul. Striker Stefano Okaka is the most noticeable one, on loan from Roma.

If you look at past meetings Inter has had difficulties beating them, most meetings are from 10 years ago or more but last season they´ve met three times. Two draws and one win for Inter was the result.
I think Bari will get some better results from here on out but not today, surely they wont give up without a fight but Inter will be to strong at the end of the day. With Sneijder back and Pazzini we got lots of offensive power, players that can decide a game. But if Inter dident need to win as bad I would say that the draw is a possibility but until I see some real prof that Bari are improving I will continue to fade them.

IMO Inter -1 should be a push at worst, we cant afford to lose any points and this is a golden opportunity since Milan failed to win versus Lazio.

**Mr.Kitty** · 02-03-11, 07:53 AM

Also Inter has played more then 10 straight overs in a row, its a moneytrain ive been riding for a while now so im gonna keep riding it until it stops. (Inter actually got 0-0 vs Napoli on coppa italia but im not counting that one

)
Remember I posted that Inter is gonna become an over machine when Leonardo came in, and so far ive been spot on.

Sure there is the occasional northern fix. But be wary when Napoli, Palermo, Catania, Calgiari, Lecce, Bari etc play each other. They would collaborate to award each other points depending on who needs them most or split the points.
