    Champions League - Wednesday 2/13/13
    Thoughts everyone? I really like Dortmund / Shakhtar O2.5, and probably Dortmund to win but I think I will stick with the total. I also am tempted to go for Manchester United +1 as I have not been impressed with Real Madrid in the past few games.

    I'm going to put up a poll for voting, but please feel free to describe your reasoning below!

    EDIT: Well I took longer than 1 minute to make the poll, and it expired. That's stupid. Options were as follows:

    1. Real Madrid (-1) / ML
    2. Manchester United (+1) / ML
    3. Real Madrid / United OVER 3
    4. Real Madrid / United UNDER 3
    5. Shakhtar Donetsk PK / ML
    6. Borussia Dortmund PK / ML
    7. Shakhtar Donetsk / Dortmund OVER 2.5
    8. Shakhtar Donetsk / Dortmund UNDER 2.5
    9. Other - Will explain below
    10. Fukk that! None of 'em!

          these are such hard games to pick, i am thinking of a parlay with manchester united ml and either dortmund or shaktar, only thing that worries me is that shaktar has been undefeated home but dortmund does well in the cl and they are good away as well, its a iffy 1

            Shakhtar haven't been playing too much competitive football as well so they may lack match fitness.

                They've been playing a lot (albeit friendlies), and that wont bother them a bit, as they're used to it (remember the Roma game a couple years ago).

                What will bother them however, is that they sold their best player (and one of the best mid-fielders in the world), Willian. They figured nobody would cough up 35 million to meet their buy out clause, but the free spending Russians forked it over, and a dark horse team with a real shot of making some noise gets gutted. Too bad too, because with Willian, they would of taken Dortmund apart (alas, Dortmund would get their share of attacking too). Shakhtar is still formidable, but nowhere near as good without Willian. I was looking forward to watching Shakhtar make a CL run all winter, and once again, a potential sporting saga is ruined by overzealous spending.

                Hard to back a non-elite team for the Champions League these days when you have to worry about your best players leaving in the middle of it.

                The game in Donetsk should be free flowing, and anything can happen.

                  They've at least got Taison as his replacement who is very useful

                    10.
                    You may as well toss a coin with a friend and bet on that. Just remember Tails never fails and you will be just fine

                      Shakhtar ML

                      Germany club playing in the Ukraine
                      Dortmund 1st time in recent memory in the knockout stage. Tonight will be very tough for them. Mkhitaryan is a beast.

                        Dortmund have never lost to a Ukrainian team, I believe they've won 4, drawn 1, lost none (might be won 5 drawn 1)

                          Manchester Utd (UCL) +1 -102
                          Borussia Dortmund (UCL) pk -104

                          To win ½ unit.

                          Totals parlay for sh*ts and grins:

                          Manchester Utd (UCL)/Real Madrid (UCL) Over 2½ -167
                          Borussia Dortmund (UCL)/Shakhtar Donetsk (UCL) Over 2½ -128


                          Risk ½ unit (+185)

                          Good luck, hope for some good matches.

                                I was thinking about Man U-Real BTTS but guessing the price is quite juicy.

                                        1-1-1, net 0. No harm, no foul. What was that sh*t, blowing the whistle before RVP can take the final corner. They never do that, and it killed what could have been a dramatic finish. F*kers. Wouldn't have anything to do with Man U's success off corners?
