Karayilan,
What are your thoughts on Man U -160? I was also contemplating Barcelona Draw at +345.
I like MAN U to Win but don't like the odds and Mourinho could spring a suprise, I doubt it but he has a good record against Fergy. I'm going to wait and see how the game starts, if its like the Liverpool game yesterday and MAN U start off on fire I'm going to pound them, player for player and as a team Man U are far better.
Barcelona havn't been playing well enough to deserve such bad odds, Lyon are being really underestimated, saying that Barcelona ofcourse on a good day have the potential to annihalate Lyon but if they play anything like they have recently Lyon has an "outside" chance.
You could try your luck with the draw but I personally wouldn't put anything big on it, Barca should win but arn't as big a favourite as everyone seems to think.

The early games
UEFA Cup - Hamburg vs Galatasaray: Galatasaray +0.5 +140 (Lean - Galatasary Win +400 but its a game time decision)
Galatasary are being underestimated, actually nearly every away team today is being badly underated today. Galatasaray are in inspired form right now, their new manager was a legend at the club in his playing days and won the UEFA cup and Super Cup with them while he was there. Hamburg have recently took a dip in form, lost a few games and dropped from 1st to 5th in the Bundesliga. Ho wever, their cup form has been brilliant but so has Galatasaray's who beat Herta Berlin and Benfica away.
Hamburg are missing some key defenders, so are Galatasaray, this could end up a goal fest as both teams strong points are attack and weak points defense. However, both teams know this so could play it a little cautious.
A difficult one to call but I'm riding with Galatasaray.
CSKA Moscow vs Shakhtar Donetsk - Donetsk +0.5 +140
These two teams have never played each other, Donetsk is a solid team and have a great manager, Lucescu has a history of doing well in cup competitions and has the experience to know how to kill this game off in midfield. CSKA have an attackive threat with Love at the front however, if Donetsk flood the midfield and make it difficult to play they could spring a suprise in this one and at those odds I think its worth the risk.
Dynamo Kiev - Metalist Kharkiv - Under 2.5 goals
I was going to take Metalist, they have made me alot of money throughout their UEFA campaign but this is a tricky one because these two teams know each other very well! they are in the same league and Kiev just beat Metalist Away 2-0. Sure this is a cup competition anything can happen but I think Kiev knows Metalists game well and so far has come up trumphs.
I'll go for the Under 2.5 but may make another game time decision if Metalist is playing well because I don't rate Kiev to highly.
May have more games later depending on how these do.

Galatasaray scored and are playing good, if you bet on them to Win and Draw like me I recommend wrapping it up with a bet on Hamburg to make it Win/Win/Win a sure 100% bet.
£100 on Galatasaray Win/Draw = £1000 x +120 = 1200
£100 on Galatasaray Win = 1000 x +500 = £5000
£50 on Galatasary Draw = 800 x +400 = £3200
£40 on Hamburg Win = 500 x + 600 = £3000
Worst case scenario Win £500, Second best scenario Win £1700, Best case scenario Win £6200.
Second half just starting, now sit back and enjoy, if you follow what I did you can't loose
Second Best Scenario Wins!!

Galatasary were f'in CHEATED, that Ref should be banned from taking another football game stupid piece of sh*t....They got a man sent off for nothing, a legit goal disallowed, countless stupid yellow cards for both teams.
Anyway, 2nd best scenario happened and it still feels good

Dynamo Kiev - Metalist Kharkiv - Under 2.5 goals - WIN
It went how I predicted, however Metalist still played well and 1-0 away is not a bad score at all to take with them to the return leg.
CSKA Moscow vs Shakhtar Donetsk - Donetsk +0.5 +140 - LOSS
2-1 so far

Udinese - Zenit St Petersburg: Zenit -0 +130
Don't like the way Udinese been playing, they are lucky to be this far, the Polish side should have knocked them out last round. Zenit have experience, quality and I fancy them here.

sry but i think gala should feel lucky to end the game in a draw ,
Most of the time , hamburg would have won the game but they didn't convert their huge scoring chances .
The Red card was the right decision by the ref, the player denied a clear scoring chance.
and honestly i cant remember which goal was dissallowed ??
If you mean the last shot in injury time , i would advise you to watch it again , but i think you're turkish so i understand your emotions shortly after the game.

sry but i think gala should feel lucky to end the game in a draw,
I don't think they were lucky, actually 1-1 was a fair result now I have calmed down
Most of the time , hamburg would have won the game but they didn't convert their huge scoring chances .
In the first half Hamburg didn't have one clear cut chance and were outplayed.
They scored in the start of the second half and started generating more chances after Galatasaray had a man sent off. Hamburg had a few great opportunities, however, Galatasary could have easily had a second goal before the red card had they not missed either.

The Red card was the right decision by the ref, the player denied a clear scoring chance.
The referree made a blunder and he knows it, Galatasaray will probobly get his suspension overturned.
The rules clearly state a player can only be sent off in that position if he is the last man back and the player in a clear scoring opportunity. Emre Asik was not the last man back and it wasn't a clear scoring opportunity, at most it warranted a yellow card.

Your right here, ignore what I wrote I was too emotional, I have watched it again
Didn't mean to cause offense if your a Hamburg fan, it was just the heat of the moment, good lucks with your pics tonight my friend
Galatasaray will be very pleased with that result, they got an away goal and Hamburg couldn't beat their B team with a man sent off.

Bundesliga: Wolfsburg vs Schalke: Wolfsborg -0 (Draw/Win)
Wolfsburg are one of the best teams second half of the season in the league. They are unbeaten in their last 6 games and have not lost at home this season. Schalke recently sacked their manager and are in turmoil off and on the pitch however, havn't been performing that bad recently. I don't think Schalke is the team to break Wolfsburgs home record but could push them for a draw thats why I'm going for the handicap.

Turkish League: Ankaragucu vs Sivasspor: Under 2.5 goals
Ankaragucu are in a relegation battle while Sivas are first but have took a dip in form and not been playing well at all. Fenerbahce dropped points yesterday which should be added motivation for Sivas.
The reasoning for the under is.
- Anakragcu have score the least goals at home in the league, scoring 8 but have let in 16
- Sivasspor have one of the best defenses in the league but are not very offensive, especially away, they have scored 14 goals the lowest out of the top teams away.
- Sivas have been playing poor but know how to defend, the have had many draws away from home which are usually low scoring affairs.
More games to come later.

Bundesliga - Frankfurt vs Hoffenheim: Over 2.5 goals LOSS
Hoffenheim havn't been playing badly and they have been creating chances, the ball just hasn't been going in the back of the net for them lately. The match against Bremen, I still can't understand how one goal didn't go in with the amount of chances in that game there could have easily been 5 or 6.
Today I'm going for the Hoffs to do what they do best, attack, attack, attack. They are still in the title chase as they havn't been loosing, if they grab a win here they have a great chance. Frankfurt have alot of injuries, so do Hoffenheim, which could result in silly mistakes and easy goals. 4 of the last 5 Frankfurt home games have been Over 2.5, this one has a good chance of doing so aswell.
EPL - Sunderland vs Wigan: Under 2.5 goals LOSS
Both teams are in a relatively comfortable position now in mid-table, a point will do both teams fine. They don't have a motive to play gun-ho and leave the defense open, there is no need for the risk as a draw will do fine and if a team steals a goal the win will do even better. I expect a cautious approach, Wigan are having a goal draught lately, last 4 out of 5 away goals have been under and they only scored 1 goal in last 5 away games. Sunderland are 5 out 5 for last games at home being under. They have been getting draws and nice one goal wins and are happy to carry on with their style.

p.s If you bet on Sivas Under 2.5 now is the perfect opportunity to wrap things up and make it a WIN/WIN.
£1000 x 1.8 (-125) Sivas Under 2.5 = £800
Now odds for Sivas Over 2.5 is 8 (+700)
£150 x 8 (+700) Sivas Over 2.5 = £1200
Under 2.5 = £650
Over 2.5 = £200
You can play around with it like put 200 on the over but I don't think it will happen its "just in case".
Anyway now we can all sit back, its over, sweet money.
Both teams have a defense that's leaking, Newcastle has Owen back, both teams can get goals and more importantly need this win. They can't sit back, a draw won't do for either as a win will help them out of relegation, this is an important game for both teams and I expect them both to go for it.

Frankfurt vs Hoffenheim is 1-1, the Over 2.5 is now +500, I'm wrapping it up for another WIN/WIN if you bet on the game aswell you may want to do the same and have a stress free 100% Win game
Hull vs Newcastle is 1-1 aswell, the Over 2.5 is not +800, sprinkle a little something on it and wrap the game up.
That's three 100% Wins for the day.

Hi!
I just read your thread and I must admit you have made some very good predictions!
Since I am new to this forum I'm trying to understand some things. For example I don't know what those numbers stand for next to your picks for example you say "£1000 x 1.8 (-125)" What does (-125) stand for? "£150 x 8 (+700)" What does (+700) stand for?
Sorry if my question sounds stupid but I don't know how things work over there.
Here we have for example Team A vs Team B: Team A 1.60, Draw 3.00 and Team B 3.50
We choose and place our bet. Of course there are other bets for each game but the numbers I mentioned above I don't understand. If you can tell me I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Thanks bro
What I do is try to ensure that I make as many matches as I can a WIN/WIN situation.
When a match begins, the Under and Over odds moves in two directions, the Under odds will continuosly move down until a goal is scored. The Over odds move in an upwards trend until goals are scored. The art of the science is to catch these two at times when you can make a nice profit from both events making it a 100% Win scenario.
"£1000 x 1.8 (-125)" What does (-125) stand for? "£150 x 8 (+700)" What does (+700) stand for?
£1000 x 1.8 (-125), the -125 is the odds in American format as most users here are from the U.S I put up both Odds formats to make it easier.
1.8 decimal odds and -125 are the same thing, sorry for the confusion.
Sorry if my question sounds stupid but I don't know how things work over there.
Here we have for example Team A vs Team B: Team A 1.60, Draw 3.00 and Team B 3.50
We choose and place our bet. Of course there are other bets for each game but the numbers I mentioned above I don't understand. If you can tell me I would appreciate it.
There are numerous bets in football/soccer, the ones I use the most are
- The classic, pick a team to Win
- Asian handicap, ie +0 , -0 , +0.5, -0.5 ie I team can Win or Draw, or even loose but you still win in the case of +1.
- Under/Over goals
What I aim for in each game, is when I pick for example an "Under 2.5" and say the odds are, 2 or in American odd system +100 if the game is under by half time more than likely the odds for the Over will be 6 or 7 / +500 or +600, place a much smaller bet on the Over and this will eliminate all risk from the game.

Thanks for the explanation it really helped!
Since over here we use the decimal system I'm trying to figure things out.
What are the equivalents of the decimal system in the US?
For example if I understood correctly
2.0 is = +100 in the US
6.0 is = +500 in the US
7.0 is = +600 in the US
correct?
what about 1.0? Is it +50?
and if its 2.15 for example in Europe, is it +115 in the US?
so now I have understood the "+" before the numbers
but sometimes I see numbers like -200
what does the "-" before the number stand for?
Thanks again and good luck with your picks. I will be reading your thread often.
By the way, today was not such a bad day for me with my picks. I'm still waiting for 2 games to finish in a six game bet with a system 5, 6 winners. I'm still waiting for two Greek games but I lost Lyon-Auxerre (0-2). Lyon has ruined my bets for two weeks now.

Where are you located reston? I use decimal odds aswell, I was just using American odds to make it user for our U.S users here.
Sports betting and handicapping forum: discuss picks, odds, and predictions for upcoming games and results on latest bets.
-200 would be 1.5 in the decimal system.
