    Soccer South America

    Since is hard to find threads of soccer from the americas I'm going to start my own... The objective is to discuss about south american teams, leagues, national teams, etc. If someone thinks we should do this in spanish, for me is better!

    I start today with Argentina u-17... a very irregular team in the qualification and the world cup, however Argentina ALWAYS qualifies so I'm going with Arg +111 to win against Japan

    Great man. Subscribed to this post,

    One game I will bet on the weekend is River Plate - Belgramo for Argentina - Primera Division. River lost the 1st game for 2-0 and need to win by two goals to avoid relegation. The fans entered the field during that game and threatened the River's players.

    Lines today are:
    River -1 : +100
    River -1 and -1.5: +131
    River -1.5: +164

    I wait 'till Sunday to make my choice.

    I don't know Belgrano, saw just parts of the first game because I was focused on the copa libertadores final that played that same day. Heard some comments that River played better and deserved to win, and Belgrano practically just had two attempts on goal and scored both. However River has played horrible all year long and probably DESERVES relegation.

    River -1.5 sounds tempting, AFA can't afford to lose a team like River in first division so it wouldn't surprise me if Belgrano has a player sent off with a red card in the first half, or a penalty against, etc..

    Probably will stay away from this one since I really don't know Belgrano.... Lesson learned the hard way, don't know Japan u-17 and bet against them and are up 2-0 against Argentina 25 mins... Throwing a couple of bucks to the draw live bet at +600 (bet365)

    Going to bet on Ecuador -1 against Mexico. It pays +100 so I think is worth it. Considering that Mexico is an under 22 team. I usually don't like betting on friendlies but this one I think is worth the shot.

    Finally! Copa America begins...

    Arg vs Bolivia

    Going with Bolivia handicap +2.5, I think that Argentina has a lot of pressure for being the favorites and unless they score early that pressure could turn against them. I don't think that bolivia has ANY chance tonight but I hope they make it tough for Argentina, at least for the first half. Lets hope that Messi has a slow start.

    THAT was a SURPRISE!! Go figure the draw was paying around 1000 good job for the ones that took such risk!! Seems like argentina will follow Spain's recipe

    (last message was sent incomplete) ...spain's recipe from last world cup: "start slow, and take off the pressure ofbeing thefavorites".

    Today plays colombia vs costa rica. I know nothing about costa rica. Heard that a couple of key players got injured. I like colombia a lot, however hdcp -1.5 seems kind of a coin toss for me. Probably will wait for halftime to do some live betting.

    Today plays Ecuador, and when MY team plays I stop being objective. So my money is with my country. One unit to the draw, and half an unit to Ecuador. Kind of a "draw no bet" but reversed.

    I like Argentina 1-0,2-0 or 3-0. They will win after the disappointment game.

    Another lost...

    For today I like Chile a lot.. however this cup has been only surprises and draws. I should probably keep away from today's games... however I'm going to bet on both games on the draw... lets hope that at least one hits!

    I'll stay away from today's games. I was thinking to do the same you will do and play only draws because if one hits you have a profit for the day.

    But I don't feel confortable to play in a Copa America anymore.

    Tonight I'm going with Paraguay ml.

    Also plays Ecuador vs Brazil. I know that my team (Ecuador) has been playing awful and maybe Brazil hdcp -1.5 seems like the right play to do, however I just CAN'T BET AGAINST MY TEAM. So Ecuador +1.5 it is!

    This Copa America is really f*cked up!! I really think that Vzla and Peru don't deserve to be in the semis so I really hope that URU and PAR advance to the final.

    The weekend's game were unbelievable, colombia and chile played way far better than their opponents and returned home empty handed. Too bad for countries that played really well not just in the QF but throughout the whole cup. They deserved better and payed too much of a prize for their few deffensive mistakes.

    Argentina ended a horrible cup the same way they started, playing awful and praying that Messi solves all their troubles.

    Watched only parts of Brazil's game, however a team that misses 4 straight penalty shots deserves to go home. The field in which they played was embarrasing for a country that its hosting such an important event, and tomorrow one of the semis is on that same field... they should bring on their sandals because its like playing beach soccer...

    Will wait until tomorrow to see how much money I put on Uruguay moneyline.
