EP36's Equalizers

[SRBI]

You're absolutely right, I see your point. I'll probably just sprinkle a little on City so I can watch the game.

GL bro!

[EaglesPhan36]

Good luck my man. City seems to be the popular pick of a side there. Hope they get it done ... like 3-1 would be great.

Horrible performance by City. How do they get shut out at home? Blah. At least I made this a split 2/2.5 bet at another site too and only lost half of it.

[Totolover1409]

No worries EP. Still looking forward to your picks.

Play #61: [Spain La Liga] Getafe vs. Real Madrid OVER 3 (-115)
It is impossible not to take a shot at Real Madrid OVERs these days. Real has been in blazing goal scoring form with 21 goals now in their last five in league play. They have scored at least three goals by themselves in eight straight. Away from home, Real has 15 goals in their last four, while conceding at least one goal in 8 of their last 11 roadies. Getafe come in having refound the back of the net with five goals in their last two matches after going scoreless the two matches prior to that. At home, Getafe started the season strong with multiple goals in 5 of their first 7. However, now they have been a bit more hit and miss with just six goals in their last five at home, two of those matches they were held scoreless. When these two sides met way back in October, Real won at home 2-0. With Real still battling Barcelona for the top spot, it is imperative that they take all three points here. With their fantastic goal scoring form in spite of some absences and their defense still shaky at times, it is hard to see this one not hitting at least three goals and gaining a push. Getafe should find at least one and it is difficult not seeing Real with multiple goals once more.

i think worse case scenario homie.. u end up pushing..

[phillip]

I think that Madrid should get 3 on their own.

[EaglesPhan36]

Um, Hi my name is Real Madrid ... I score goals.

[Wilforth]

Very easy play. 5 goals in the 1H already.

I may not be around much through the weekend. Heading to Houston for the Sweet 16/Elite 8! May try to cap something for Saturday, but probably just one play if any. Good luck fellas.

[pitman]

good job EP nice early win!!!

[EaglesPhan36]

Just trying to find my thread again! Don't like either CL match today, lots of variables. Betting draws in both could be profitable, but both are tough to call IMO.

[SRBI]

We didn't forget about ya EP - just waitin on those strong plays

[EaglesPhan36]

Play #62: [Scotland Premier] St.Johnstone vs. Rangers OVER 2.5 (-137)
St.Johnston has been remarkably consistent scoring on their home pitch in the Premier League this season with at least one goal in 13 of 14 home matches. They have just three clean sheets at home and figure to have some troubles keeping the top scoring outfit in the league down today. Rangers have 68 goals this season with 25 coming on the road. They struggled early on the road, being shut out in 3 of their first 6. Since returning from the Winter Break, Rangers have been solid on the road. They have multiple goals in three of their last four away from home. They are one of the better defenses in the league, having allowed only 8 road goals all season. Both matches in Premier League play in late 2009 between these two saw three goals come home. Rangers also banged home a 2-0 result in League Cup play at home against them in February.

[pitman]

ya betting on the CL is tough. i did a tiny azz parlay with draw and draw.

[Club]

That didn't take long.

[Spaceviews]

One word..........WOW!!!! Thanx AGAIN E.P.!!!

[Marginalis]

ty.

[jbizzle]

Nice Pick EP!!

[pitman]

[SRBI]

Had this as well - gotta love cashin a play in the first half

How was the Sweet 16/Elite 8?

EZ bake oven. Yay. NCAAs were fun in spite of some ignorant Baylor fans who would not stop talking. Otherwise, fun times and I cashed my Duke ticket to win the region.

EP, how is the basketball setup at Reliant? I havent been to Reliant Park since i worked there for afew months, but that was well before they ever thought of setting up hoops there.

[EaglesPhan36]

They pretty much used all the fixed seats and then added some. They had the entire stadium open for seats. The court was a bit more towards one end zone then the other. It's the 2nd time I went to the NCAAs there, first being in 2008 ... these seats were better, but really unless you're sitting in the top level, the seats are decent. End zone seats, you get screwed though if you're on the end further away from the court. It's definitely not perfectly centered. Final Four next year is big. My Dad is pretty much set on getting us there by hook or crook and I'm down!

Play #63: [Champions League] CSKA Moscow +1/+1.5 (-111)
The Russians have been rock solid on the road in Champions League play. After Wolfsburg crushed them 3-1 in their first roadie late in 2009, Moscow has reeled off a draw at Manchester United and wins at Besiktas and Sevilla. In eight CL matches in 2009-2010, Moscow has only lost twice and only one was by more than a goal. Inter has been solid as well in CL play, but has rarely won by more than one goal. In fact, in eight CL matches, they have won by more than a goal just once. They have played four home matches in CL play with a two goal win over Russians, Rubin Kazan, along with a one goal win over Chelsea and two draws. Inter won't lose here, but of their 9 home matches since returning from Winter Break - Inter has only won by more than one goal three out of nine times. With Moscow proving to be road warriors in the CL, I don't think they will be intimidated in Milan. They may not have enough to even work a draw here, but I do believe they can hold this match to within one goal.

BOL

[beefcake]

thanks forthe play!

[m3xtreme]

good work here, thanks for all the info...

[SRBI]

Definitely agree with this play - Russians will do the job - good luck EP.

Right on, right on. About what I had hoped for, half stakes win on the 1-0 result.

[fignutz]

Thanks for that! followed and profitted.

[EaglesPhan36]

Play #64: [Europa League] Fulham vs. Wolfsburg OVER 2.5 (-112)
Fulham has been real solid at scoring goals at home in Europa League play. The English-side has scored in each of their seven home matches in the EL with four of those featuring multiple goals. They have conceded in both their EL matches at home in 2010 and have scored a goal and conceded one in 8 of their last 10 Europa League tilts. Wolfsburg is in the same vein of form, having scored & conceded in all four of their EL matches. The Germans have scored three road goals and conceded three on the road in their two road matches. In all competitions, Wolfsburg has scored at least one goal on the road in 14 of their last 15. Fulham has allowed 11 goals in their last five matches overall, so the Germans should have a chance to find the back of the net and with their own defense sometimes asleep, Fulham has a solid chance to score as well. This one appears to be one where both squads can score and it seems likely that a third goal can come home either via the attacking prowess of the Germans of by their own hand if they allow Fulham to work through their defense.

If you're more of a safe player, grabbing the split 2/2.5 line at increased juice would probably net you no worse than a half stakes loss as I would be surprised not to see two goals today at worst.

[pitman]

GL EP, looks like a good one.
