[Hugh Madbrough]

I'm new to the board and I'm hoping that my football picks put cash in other members pockets. I bet on 5 Dimes but i also like betting on sportsbook for the option if draw no bet, which comes good when it comes to football.
Today there was only one game that drew my attention

Win1/9/12 2:45pm England Soccer 101 Leeds (ENG-FA Cup)/Arsenal (ENG-FA Cup) Under 3 +104*

For tomorrow

1/10/2012 2:45 PM France Soccer 151 Marseille (FRA-Cup)/Caen (FRA-Cup)* Over 2½ +112

The last time there was not 3 goals between these two teams in a game was back in February of 2009. In 4 of their last 5 games Caen have allowed at least 2 goals while Marseille have scored at least 2 goals.

My picks are like an R. Kelly music video.

[Hugh Madbrough]

Ladies and Gentlemen Marseille defeated Caen 3-0

Win1/10/12 2:45pm France Soccer 151 Marseille (FRA-Cup)/Caen (FRA-Cup) Over 2½ +112*

Tomorrow's pick

1/11/2012 2:45 PM England Soccer 111 Liverpool (ENG-Cup)/Manchester City (ENG-Cup)* Under 2½ -124

Vincent Kompany, Edin Dzeko, Yaya and Kolo Toure are out for Manchester City and Sergio Aguero will be rested for the League game, Mario Balotelli will take his spot. Suarez is still suspended for Liverpool so they will not be attacking, just like Arsenal they average about 1 goal per game. I don't see another 3-0 happening. Man City 2-0 or a 1-1 tie.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Time to bring out the strawberries and whip cream with Remy Martin for your enjoyment and pleasure. I will be back on friday with my football play of the day. Hugh Madbrough?

[Mriceyman]

Hugh madbrough is a classic name

[Hugh Madbrough]

Hopefully we all enjoyed our thursday and it's time to get back in the mood.

Tomorrow's Pick:

Pending1/13/12 9:10pm Mexico Soccer 301 San Luis (MEX)/Estudiantes Tecos (MEX) Over 2½ -104*

Estudiantes are one of the top candidates for regulation, they are having financial problems, can't sell tickets to home games and endless rumors of the team relocating. They were suppose to move to Acapulco but the move was rejected by the fmf. They play a 4-2-2-2 and 4 out of the 6 (including the 2 defensive midfielders) players that will defend the goal are 31 or older. Their defense is slow and tire easily.

San Luis is not a good away team but no one will be in the crowd. Their formation is a 3-2-3-2 Wide. Look for Wilmer Aguirre to cause a lot of problems for Estudiantes who will put two defenders on him leaving 1 San Luis player always open. San Luis has a horrible 38 year old manlet goalkeeper named Conejo Perez who always allows a goal.

My prediction is San Luis 2 - 1 Estudiantes. The only way this won't happen is if San Luis is up 2-0 then they will just waste time but Fredy Bareiro (Estudiantes) should be able to score on the manlet.

Other worthwhile bets

Pending1/13/12 9:10pm Mexico Soccer 301 San Luis (MEX) +208* vs Estudiantes Tecos (MEX)
{Line was at +220 this morning but has dropped to +208. I'm thinking it will probably drop to +178 before kick off.

Pending1/13/12 9:10pm Mexico Soccer 301 San Luis (MEX) pk,+½ -125* vs Estudiantes Tecos (MEX)

[BIG]

You called it 2-0 stall... Nice call on Luis

Anything for today?

[Hugh Madbrough]

2 for 3, not bad still made profit on Estudiantes vs San Luis. A lot of action today, i will have more picks at 5 p.m. eastern time.

My main pick.

Pending1/14/12 3:00pm France Soccer 101 Auxerre (FRA-1)/Ajaccio (FRA-1) Over 2 -127*

{Bad luck seems to follow Guillermo Ochoa, he's an outstanding goalkeeper but just like America (MEX), Ajaccio has a horrid defense. If it wasn't for Ochoa, America (MEX) would be losing by 4+ and same goes for Ajaccio. Only twice in nine games have the crowd in Stade François Coty seen games where there has not been at least 2 goals. While Auxerre in nine games only once have they not seen 2 goals in a game. Auxerre allow 1.6 goals away, concede 1.1. Ajaccio allow 1.8 goals at home, concede 1.2.**

Other Worthwhile Picks:
Pending1/14/12 3:00pm France Soccer 113 Valenciennes (FRA-1)/Bordeaux (FRA-1) Over 2 -107*
1/14/12 3:00pm France Soccer 104 Lorient (FRA-1)/Nancy (FRA-1) Over 2 -110*
Pending1/14/12 3:00pm France Soccer 108 St. Etienne (FRA-1) -151* vs Sochaux (FRA-1)

[Mriceyman]

Auxerre now At 2.25 goals .. damm

[Mriceyman]

Sweep... u r the man... i bow to u

[Hugh Madbrough]

Thank you Mriceyman. Was thinking of putting some money down on some FMF but nothing really sticks out except for

1/14/12 6:00pm Mexico Soccer 222 Jaguares De Chiapas (MEX) +139* vs Guadalaraja Chivas (MEX)

Chivas has not won in Chiapas since 2006, have gone 286 minutes without scoring in Chiapas, and two key components will not play due to suspension and injury. Chiapas will go 4-4-2, Guadalajara 4-4-1-1 they'll cancel each other out and it will be a fast paced match. Arizala & Martinez will cause Guadalajara to pull back and if they decide to close down that still leaves Rey open. I wouldn't recommend a big wager but if you need some action, this is the one i would recommend. All the other games to big of investment for little profit.

[Hugh Madbrough]

Damas y Caballeros.

There is only one game today in the premier. Top of the chain Manchester City vs last place Wigan. Both teams are in an emotional roller coaster. City not winning their last 4 away games and Wigan top candidate for regulation. Last time they faced off City won 3-0. In the last four meetings Wigan have not scored on City. Mohamed Diame will not play for Wigan and City will be without V. Kompany & Toure brothers but do get Silva and Aguero back. I see it ending ManCity 3-0 Wigan or ManCity 2-1 Wigan.

1/16/12 3:00pm England Soccer 201 Manchester City (ENG-P) Over 2 -125* vs Wigan (ENG-P) (team points)

[Hugh Madbrough]

Manchester City let me down yesterday but have won me more money than lost so no biggie.

Today's Play:
Pending 1/17/12 8:10pm Argentina Soccer 452 Boca Juniors (ARG) -½ +102* vs San Lorenzo (ARG)

In the last 6 months Boca has gone 7 (Wins) 3 (Draws) 0 (Loses) at home even if it's a friendly Boca management and fans have huge expectations. They average about 1.5 goals and allow .2 at home and are facing a team that has 2 (wins) 3 (draws) 4 (loses) on the road and don't really score much and allow 1.1 goals. Boca takes this game 1-0.

[Hugh Madbrough]

Pick of the day:
1/25/2012 7:00 PM South America Soccer 364 Flamengo (Copa-Liber)* pk,+½ -126 vs Real Potosi (Copa-Liber)
{I see this match going as a draw or Flamengo win and looking at the lineups Flamengo is a stronger side, these two teams have only faced twice and it was back in 07 where Flamengo won in Brazil and they tied in Bolivia) Copa Libertadores is serious business in South America and Mexico but mostly for South American teams, Mexico usually sends B Teams. Flamengo's Dario Botanelli & Ronaldinho is enough trouble for Real Potosi. My prediction Flamengo 1-0 Real Potosi**

Other worthwhile mentions:
1/25/2012 7:00 PM South America Soccer 364 Flamengo (Copa-Liber)* pk +115 vs Real Potosi (Copa-Liber)
{Like my chances if it's a draw you get your money back**

1/25/2012 9:00 PM International Soccer 264 Venezuela (Friendly)* +1 -136 vs Mexico (Friendly)
{The team Mexico put together have only had 2 days to train going into this match and most of the squad played this past weekend. I'm guessing they will play a 4-2-3-1 since they only called 2 strikers and the only good one being Uribe Peralta. If Rafa Marquez Lugo starts the match they dun goofed. Mexico's defense and midfield looks solid but most of them are youngsters who are too cocky for their own good and I see this game being a draw.**

Venezuela down to + 3/4. Bastards

[Mriceyman]

Flamengo score than give one up quick

[Hugh Madbrough]

My hat off to Real Potosi they gave it their all since the first whistle until the last. Very impressed with their tactics and the fact they had 6 players without tournament experience. Flamengo was lazy and overconfident.

[Hugh Madbrough]

I feel robbed. Venezuela collapsed with 2 minutes remaining, I can't believe it leaving me at 6-6. I'm gonna stop betting on teams and more on over/unders.

omg mate, I am all over istanbul BB over 2.5
I watched them play vs eskisehispor and they created a lot of chances. ( i had over 2.5 on that match too, and it ended 3-1 )
odds are not the best, they are usually higher for over 2.5 in the turkish league, i got -121 at 5dimes.
