    Stupid bet?...Futures play on Maribor to win Europa League..

    I saw they were 350-1 before Noon kickoff today for El. Figured it had value since they already had 4 points in their group and if they can manage a draw vs Hotspur today they would be looking pretty good.Already beat Pank and played Lazio tough, and winning in Slovenia is always a bitch.If they can advance one round in the knockout phase this price would still offer me a good hedge on their opponent(s).Played 5 bucks...

    Even if they were 1.000.000-1, I wouldn't take em. Real talk. Every dime you place on em is money badly spent.

    You just gave the book 5 bucks.
    Maribor isn't going to go past the group. They are there because UEFA technically grants them a spot based on their geography amongst the euro league tree of eligible countries. Basically someone from Solvenia has to rep. the league.
    By some chance they do advance....they would never make it past the next around.

    Too many ppl on here just have a glance at the stat sheet and drop $.

    Well I actually dont think they will win either not by along shot, but the price offered, if they can advance out of the group,gives me the chance to hedge on another futures bet with their opponent in the knockout stage.And since that is random ,they could even get stuck with another team comparable team or ATL Madrid for all I know.

    Well, IMO it would be better to take the odds now and then trade them. Betfair/betdaq.

    Most people on this forum dont understand this type of futures hedging betting.
