Either Free Money or Idiot Plays Monday... LA LIGA

Tough call on that one. Barca has looked lethargic at times during their warm up for the season & I think Shakhtar showed in the Super Cup that if you stay tight and play defense, you can frustrate them a little. Barca will win, but I'm not sure it'll be more than 2-0. I actually lean a little to the under at 3.5 at my shop, but probably going to pass as it's really anyone's guess how they'll play in the opener. GL!

Best of luck on your plays.

**stats13** · 08-31-09, 11:35 AM

2-0 would really suck for me, but 1-0 would be absolutely terrible. yes, i'm being greedy and stoopid (make that Stoopid, capital S) but to hell with it. Barca could totally score 4+ here in the home opener.

**Rustyglobes** · 08-31-09, 11:57 AM

2-0 is what you want isnt it?? 0-2 would totally suck.. Hey man i took barca -1 and am totally kicking myself coz there aint much value in that bet but it should come through, so i'm hoping your picks hit aswell..

Messi is a little genius on the ball he will be a big loss but barca have so many match winners that he wont be missed too much, look out for Imbrahimovic to mark his presence at the club today i feel he will score twice...

Get them books!

**stats13** · 08-31-09, 12:00 PM

2-0 would push my -2 and lose my o2.5

i need 3 goals

**Wilforth** · 08-31-09, 12:04 PM

Not a smart bet, IMHO.
If you need a reminder, Barca lost their first game of the season last year against a lowly Numancia as favorites of about the same size as they are today.
To make matters worse, with so few games on the board, Barca and the Over look like the best "textbook" plays of the day, which isn't good from a betting perspective.
Thirdly, we need to allow the "new look" Barca some time to evolve. It's not yet certain what the Messi-Ibra-Henry trio holds in stock for Barca. Don't expect that combination to be immediately as efficient as the sleak Messi-Eto'o-Henry confraternity!
Such picks are in my "don't touch" list. I wish you luck anyways.

**stats13** · 08-31-09, 12:10 PM

well that was @ numancia, barca beat them 4-1 later at camp nou

i never said this was a smart bet, but it should cash, at least one of htem should cash, that is

**Rixsaw** · 08-31-09, 12:36 PM

good luck brother. I don't have the balls to take -2 nor o3.5.

i took o2.5

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-31-09, 12:45 PM

What was the price for Over 2.5 - must have been -200 or more?

**stats13** · 08-31-09, 12:46 PM

no offense, but can any of you guys read

**kmarinouofm** · 08-31-09, 12:53 PM

wow -300 on a over 2.5 i hope it hits bro.. honestly I would stay away from Barcelona at least for now...they are just starting the season.. I don't like either of these plays.. but I hope you the best and I hope you hit them...

but its one of those things were none of the soccer handicappers here would be surprised if you went 2-0 or 0-2 today... hope its the first..

if anyone should be playing anything with this kind of juice it should be Galatasary -200 ...game starts in 7 mins...

**stats13** · 08-31-09, 12:55 PM

i'm not sayin it was smart, there's just heavy correlation between laying 2 and over 2.5 . just trying to pick up a few $$$ today

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-31-09, 12:56 PM

Sorry. Scroll is a helluva drug, but I'm not addicted. -300. Yowza. Good luck man.

**stats13** · 08-31-09, 01:01 PM

well the over 3.25 asian line on pinny is -113, so -300 o2.5 is about correct... its also -309 o2.5 on bet365

**Rixsaw** · 08-31-09, 01:12 PM

I don't have the option to take it down to 2.5 bro. I'll be pulling for ya. BOL

**Wilforth** · 08-31-09, 01:29 PM

I like Under 1.5 (-120) 1st half at Bookmaker. Barca seem to score more in the 2nd than in the 1st half.

**Alpinestars7** · 08-31-09, 02:12 PM

i went the other way took under 3.5 goals and sporting +2 so we will c what happens best of luck to everyone playing this high profile game! =)

**stats13** · 08-31-09, 02:17 PM

Valdés
Alves -- Puyol -- Piqué -- Maxwell
Busquets
Xavi -- Keita
Pedro -- Ibrahimovic -- Bojan

**demize21** · 08-31-09, 03:20 PM

goooaaal

**stats13** · 08-31-09, 03:55 PM

2-0 @ half

**Alpinestars7** · 08-31-09, 04:07 PM

**stats13** · 08-31-09, 04:30 PM

wow how many gols is barca going to miss this half?

should be 3-0 by now

**EaglesPhan36** · 08-31-09, 04:43 PM

Nice hits. You must have been sweating balls though on the total!

**stats13** · 08-31-09, 04:45 PM

**Jimmy0607** · 08-31-09, 04:49 PM

**Hybris** · 08-31-09, 05:23 PM

Ibra saved you there

**FooFighters** · 08-31-09, 05:31 PM
