Sivasspor v Denizlispor (Turkish CUP) (11:30 am GMT)

Sivasspor win: 1.5

Sivasspor look like good value here, At home where they are very strong agast a Denizlispor who are close to a relagation battle this season and i dont think the motivation is there for denizli in this match as they are already qualified. Sivasspor on over hand, need a win here, are at home, and feel they this cup could be a way of guranteeing a place in UEFA Cup.

Medium High Stakes here, 6 - 7 units.

Pinnacle had this game at Sivasspor -1 (-108). I bet it. When you say Sivasspor win: 1.5, that means you bet Sivasspor -1.5 correct?

I am pretty sure its -1.5 AH .. which would be better odds anyways.

[MJ]

I have it at -1. Which is much better the -1.5 unless I am missing something.

MJ, the 1.5 refers to decimal odds. that converts to 1/2 in fractions and im not sure what in american odds. basically, you bet 10 to win 5. i saw this game was 0-0 after 85 mins, i hope it won for you guys

[dlew2k]

oh the moneyline bet!!

what I meant was -1.5 AH is the handicap and you get better odds for it then -1. lot of eng fa .. who you on?

[MJ]

Oh now i know what you mean. When I see 1.5 on a soccer spread I think it means the goals. I didnt know I should have taken the moneyline ML. Oh well, at least i pushed.

1.5 decimal odds converts to -200.
Sivasspor eventually won by a lone goal.

Damn that was close and did u see the state of that pitch it was more like an ice rink

Good tip though, Sivas badly needed the win and finally got it, I bet ML and again in the 80th minute when the odds sky rocketed.
