Zizou's Picks - Season 2013/14

**zizoudane10** · 10-21-13, 06:24 PM

Time for an updated record. Meeeh. Time to add a few bills to this. Green is green, so whatever, but I def have to post more now that I don't have that much work around my head. Looking forward to this week, hope I'll find some nice opportunities.

Pregame bets: 11 wins - 10 loss - 1 push, +0.805 units

Live bets: 12 wins - 14 loss - 1 push, +5.5525 units

**zizoudane10** · 10-21-13, 11:25 PM

Getting this one in now, not sure if I'm at home today:

CL: Steaua Bucuresti - Basel, Basel pk @1.862 6/10 (Pinnacle)

Don't see them lose in Romania. Basel is a strong team and a very strong away team this season. Steaua isn't what it used to be. Was tempted to play Basel -0.5 but decided to put a few more units on the pk here.

Arsenal - Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal @2.32 1.5/10 (Pinnacle)

Arsenal looking great with Özil now. Only 1.5 units because Dortmund is the first real strong team they are facing this season. Borussia didn't impress me this weekend at all. They need way too many chances right now. Yeah, 22 goals in 9 league games, I know I know... But that includes a 5:0 againt a helpless Freiburg and a 6:2 against Hamburg which was a game that went completely out of control from both sides. So without these 2 games we have 11 goals in 7 games left, which isn't too impressing for me tbh. Don't get me wrong here: Dortmund is a great team. But without Gündogan, who is the absolute key for their midfield and with Mkhytarian who still needs time to get used to the style of the BVB and with Lewa and Reus who are great players without any doubt but who need way too many chances right now they are not on top of their game. Arsenal plays at home, and has an Özil that is in absolute amazing form, you can see that he feels totally comfortable and is happy to have a coach that loves and trusts him. bts might be a great bet. I hope for a 2:1 Arsenal here. My first thought was: "Over 3 goals sounds great". But I decided to go with the home win here because I feel like the line for the over isn't worth the risk.

Have a few other leans, but nothing I want to definitely play right now. (Leans: Madrid -1.5 against Austria; Ajax pk against Celtic, although I hope Celtic wins; Chelsea win) (def no bet in my eyes: Marseille - Napoli, Porto - St Petersburg, Milan - Barcelona. Gut says Marseille pk, Porto, draw. But I'll def not touch these games.)

BOL today guys!

**zizoudane10** · 10-22-13, 07:41 AM

Adding: Schalke 04 - Chelsea, Chelsea -0.25 @1.952 3/10 (Pinnacle)

**swordsandtequila** · 10-22-13, 07:48 AM

Schalke and Chelsea have both burned me also, more times than I care to admit. Having a hard time getting a feel for this game. Chelsea looked like they're starting to come around in their last game, but on the road who knows. Never know what you're gonna get with Schalke. Tempted to play the over, which means 1-0 probable

. Good luck.

**zizoudane10** · 10-22-13, 08:13 AM

Haha 1:0 Schalke, 1:0 Steaua and 5:0 Dortmund incoming pal! Easy as pie

**BigBurk** · 10-22-13, 10:58 AM

Good luck on the plays tonight!

BigB!! You're alive!

All good all great pal?

Dortmund scares me tbh, but I'm comfortable (as of now) with the other 2.

**BigBurk** · 10-22-13, 11:09 AM

Sorry to say I am on opposing plays tonight with the Dortmund and Steau matches... But hey, at least one of us will win some!

All good over here, been playing live bets the last few months and doing well. Just for the fun of it playing some pre game bets again lately.

I was absolutely not impressed from the BvB the last few games, especially against Hannover this weekend. But yeah, that's gonna be a tough tough game.
Steaua is dominating their league. But in my eyes the romanian league has become garbage. Romanian football used to be great, remembering guys like Hagi or Popescus brings tears of joy into my eyes. But of course, it's not easy to score against them. Going with the pk here because I feel more comfortable with it.

We both gonna be drinking at the end of the games, one because he won, the other one because he lost. At least it stays in the family

(And hell yeah, thank god for live-betting!)

Steaua with the goal in 88'.... Fukkin annoying.... cashback. 1:1 FT +-0 units.

0:3 FT, +2.856 units

Normally I would be happy with +2.856 units, green is green, but the way the Basel game ended I have mixed emotions here....

**swordsandtequila** · 10-22-13, 03:42 PM

Aaaaargh, Basel concede late to kill the pk. Madrid came through though, + the Arsenal/Schalke overs so 3-1-1, can't complain. Only blemish was Arsenal pk, good call Burk.

Edit: Actually 2.5-1-1. Arsenal over was a half win.

**zizoudane10** · 10-22-13, 03:49 PM

**zizoudane10** · 10-22-13, 03:50 PM

Glad you made some swords

And BigB: I guess we both made some

**BigBurk** · 10-22-13, 04:37 PM

Yeah I can't complain how some things really went my way late in the games. But we win some we lose some. And from what I see, none of us really lost. On to tomorrow!

**plekz** · 10-22-13, 04:41 PM

Who are you liking for tomorrow? (And why?)

Not being disrespectful here but: I am going to post my plays (if there are any) anyways. I haven't done it yet, right? That's because right now I don't like anyone. I have a lot of initial thoughts, but haven't analysed a single one yet. Otherwise (had I placed a bet) I would have already posted them.

You copy & paste this exact same question in multiple threads. That's a bit cheap isn't it? If you have any questions, feel free to ask. If you have a play in mind and want different opinions, feel free to ask. I have always said that I LOVE to discuss with people here and talk about this beautiful sport.

And at least a "Hey Ziz" or whatever would be damn fukkin nice.....

Fair enough.

Hey Ziz.

I'm currently torn, i'll most likely play ML's on Real (Juve's head can't be in a good place after the Fiorentina fiasco on sunday, Real should be in great shape being the only of the three top teams that got all points this weekend in La'liga) PSG (Cavani and Zlatte are in amazing form right now)

But after those two i am sort of lost, not to sure about Galatasaray's form or more specificly Drogba's form. Other then that i'm thinking Man City should be able to get the job done and pick up a W even if they are a bit streaky at times.

ManU i'm completly lost on, their form is so up and down from day to day that it hurts to even watch them play currently. Bayern are gonna crush Plzen but i can't find any kind of line to play there.

So in short i'm looking to do a heavy two teamer with PSG being one leg and then i'm torn on who to use for the other, if i go Man City or Galatasaray (or someone else completly)

Also to be clear i didn't even mean to post in the other thread, browser fuckup.

All good all great man

Watching hockey at the moment, going to answer you later! I didn't have a deeper look at the games until now, initial leans are City, Gala, PSG, Bayern Handicap, Leverkusen, Real. But as I said, going to have a deeper look and hit you back!

**plekz** · 10-22-13, 06:22 PM

Sounds good man, yeah i'm gonna watch the Ducks vs Leafs game until i fall asleep, taking the night off on NHL after last nights games where none of them went the way i thought.

Bayern handicap sounds good, they are at home, fans will want to see blood and god knows they have the squad to produce if they are feeling up to it i mean if they can go 1-3 against Man City away they should be able to 6 - 0 Plzen if they are in a good mood.

Leverkusen's phantom goal being the saving grace on friday is putting me a bit off on them, then again i have no idea really about Shaktar Dontesk

**zizoudane10** · 10-23-13, 01:17 PM

plekz, no shit man: just one pregame bet for me today. Most likely live-bets to come.
Thing is; I don't find value. f.e.: I like Leverkusen to win, but honestly, the value (if there is any) is on Donezk win. Same goes for most of the teams I like to win today.
I hope we find some nice spots to place bets ingame though. Bayerns lineup f.e. is far better then I expected, let's see how motivated they are. Could be a massacre, but not necessarily.

Was having a hard time thinking about the Benfica - Olympiakos game. I really wanted to take x2 at first. But I saw the match against Anderlecht, they won 3:0, but honestly Anderlecht was absolutely dominating the whole game. More shots, more possession, just not lucky. Mitroglou is a weapon of course. Benfica isn't on top of their game. But they are always able to score at home. Could easily go either way, but I think we see some goals.

CL: Benfica - Olympiakos, over 2.5 @2.04 2/10 (Pinnacle)

BOL guys, and feel free to post and discuss the games in here live!

It's a fast game, we need one to open the door

**zizoudane10** · 10-23-13, 02:10 PM

Bayern oh so strong today. 1:0 penalty now (Ribery), it's a demonstration out there. What a game. Wow.

**Blackster** · 10-23-13, 02:11 PM

Played also tonight PSG-1 & Over 2,5 and Ibra working faboulosly so far (22nd minute two goals), but those guys in Lisboa need to start packing into net fast...

**Blackster** · 10-23-13, 02:17 PM

Olympiakos scored, we got ourself a game now.

Ha yeah man, good bet, I could punch myself in the face that I didn't play PSG -1.
Watching Bayern on tv, Benfica on one laptop and with half an eye Real on the other one. Fast game, fukkin fast game out there.

**Blackster** · 10-23-13, 02:21 PM

Hope I didn't make mistake, my first pick was on Olympiacos +0,75 (half loss on one goal loss), but changed my mind in last minute and got to over. Now let's hope Benfica can score to get back...

**zizoudane10** · 10-23-13, 02:21 PM

Seems like Ibra is on a mission today, hattrick 36 minutes in. Wow.
