if i were u I would take the over now that they are giving a better price. don't let that half goal scare you off.

[FindTheLock]

I am waiting for the game to start and I will be getting on the over through live betting. I want to get the best price possible.

[PhillyUnionCC]

I'm gonna lay off the over. Cause if the over hits my -3 will 10000% hit lol

[BaronMunchausen]

you can't do that in this sport.

Didn't know that. I obviously never bet soccer.

[FindTheLock]

it's all good my friend. I had to learn that at one point too. We are all here to help each other and learn.

You think 5dimes will have a halftime card?

Barcelona lineup from FIFA.com:

Valdes
Puyol
Villa
Iniesta
Messi
Thiago
Mascherano
Keita
Pedro
Adriano
Abidal

Xavi, Pique, Fabregas, Sanchez, Dani Alves on the bench.

[BaronMunchausen]

Honestly, I've only bet on maybe 4-5 matches and I've been gambling for about 7 years. Don't follow the sport that closely.

[Reener77]

Over/Under now at 4.25 at Pinny. -110O/+100U

[BaronMunchausen]

Taking Barca -3.5. Think they win by 4+, so not worried about the .5.

[FindTheLock]

5dimes kept the spread -3 -150 but moved the total O4.5. That is basically an alternate spread for barcelona at bad odds, because The other team isn't going to score.

[BaronMunchausen]

FTL, you playing Barca or just the Over after the match starts?

[FindTheLock]

it depends on which is better odds. I really feel strongly about a blowout, and I just want to get the best odds I can get on whatever it is.

idk why but im going with you lock and taking -3....what is wrong with me betting soccer at 4:30 in the morning

[baskets]

Will be watching.

Been thinking about different scenarios:


Brazil and North Korea. 1-0 at ht. 7-0 ft or something like that

Top Team and Shit Team. 4-0 at ht. 5-0 ft



Just can't envision in my mind not winning by at least 3. They'll win each half. And at least one half will be by 2 goals.

I'm going to go with 2-0/3-0 at ht. Then 4-0/5-0 for ft.

I hear you. The only justifiable reason is an addiction to gambling, and I'm right there with you.

[BaronMunchausen]

I'm reading all these previews and everyone is predicting a 3-0 Barca win. Saying they won't pour it on.

[FindTheLock]

in the first half!

[BaronMunchausen]

in the first half!

I never pay attention to previews, but I'm not a soccer bettor so I'm getting scared off. Talk me back into it with some soccer knowledge!

[FindTheLock]

some of the barcelona players who don't get much playing time are starters on the spanish national team who won the world cup haha

[FindTheLock]

this is the NFL equivalent of the packers playing against a division 2 college team.

http://english.cri.cn/8046/2011/12/15/3021s671692.htm this is from the players and the coach of the other team...

[BaronMunchausen]

Everything points to an easy 4 or 5 goal victory, but will they take their foot off the gas once they're up by 3 is the question. I don't think Al-Sadd is going to score, so I'm definitely staying away from the Over. I know Barca can easily net 4, but will they?

Barcelona lineup from FIFA.com:

Xavi, Pique, Fabregas, Sanchez, Dani Alves on the bench.

this starting lineup is ridiculously good. Villa and Messi are elite strikers who don't lay off for any reason. i doubt they will take it easy on this team today, but I may be wrong. we shall see.

[FindTheLock]

iniesta is a monster and a very creative player. I don't see how this isn't a blow out.

[BaronMunchausen]

F*ck it. Barca it is.

Love this comment from the Messi video:

"Messi is like a fairy tale. He was not from a rich family, was always the smallest guy in his team but had a massive passion for the game. He rose above all odds and has grown into the best player ever. Even with this title, he conducts himself in such an admirable way. He doesn't dive, he doesn't show boat, he doesn't disrespect his opposition with jestures, he shares his goals and plays as a team and he leads with 100% intensity at all times. Basketball has Jordan, Football has Messi."

[BaronMunchausen]

Final picks

2 units Barca -3
1 unit Barca -3.5
1 unit Barca over 4.25

Wish I had gotten in Barca -3. Waited too long and got 'em at -3.5 because I'm a p*ssy.

[FindTheLock]

messi will try to get a hat trick. I have watched almost all of those games in the highlights because I love to watch greatness. Messi is just a beautiful player to watch play this game. He glides with the ball attached to his foot and will give the glory to his team mate so that we can cover our bets!
