UEFA Champions League Discussion

BL · 11-24-09, 10:18 AM

I won't bet on the early game. I can see both teams winning. Should be a interesting match but nothing to bet on IMO!
There are two games I am looking at:

Liverpool -1,5 -105
I like Liverpool in this spot. This will be a public bet but I really like Liverpool to win this by 2 or more goals difference.

Sevilla +125
Sevilla is looking to claim the first spot of the group. Should be no problem even with Sevilla resting one or two players.

**SRBI** · 11-24-09, 10:27 AM

Like both of those, espec. Liverpool, they should be able to take care of weak Debreceni.

The biggie play is later Lyon +0.5, I'm hittin this one HARD!

Also leanin Inter Milan +1.

**JohnAnthony** · 11-24-09, 10:28 AM

I have the same hunch I had on Magic against Boston (Magic ML) on Inter, but my partner probably wouldn't agree to take that risk. I like Liverpool -1.

Rubin won their league title last weekend. They can go all out and focus on CL now. They have a full squad while kiev will be with out key players. This is a Rubin team that has come away with 4 points against Barca. Arguably the the best club in the world. If rubin win here and inter can beat barca then they advance. going with rubin here.

That's all cool and stuff. And I love the fact that 98% of people today are thinking the exact same thing as you.

That is why I'm on Kiev +0.5, who are coming off a great 3-0 win vs. powerhouse Shakthar Donetsk in their domestic league and should be ready for this Rubin team, who apparently have not collected their paychecks in over 3 months.

I don't see either team winning, to be honest, but I win if THEY draw. And a draw is what I see at the end of this match.

**Phillth** · 11-24-09, 10:56 AM

Kiev will be without 2 starting defenders and will try to play with an extra striker. Dangerous tactics i think. Dont think this one will end in a draw as it does neither sqaud any good. Should be a high paced attacking match.

**JohnAnthony** · 11-24-09, 11:00 AM

This is an interesting debate here, I'm leaning Dinamo pk.

I almost made this my best bet too today - but the fact that one of their strikers is out due to injury to his daughter and the fact that they have already qualified so may not be going 100% for this game .. just made me pull back a touch ....

Having said that ... of all the Euro games today this is still the one I like most.

I also like the over here - 2-1 or 3-1 final score i think.

**looch10** · 11-24-09, 01:38 PM

i dont know if sevilla is the best bet out there guys, Jimenez may drop a player or two knowing a draw is all they need.. i'm staying away but GL

Here we go guys, another wonderful day with the CL.

I love Dynamo Kiev +0.5 -125 for the sole early match vs. Rubin.

More leans to come later of course.

What do you fellas like today?

CASH that chit baby, final score 0-0

...draw like I said, should have put some stakes on the draw cuz that would have been a sweet payout!

**JohnAnthony** · 11-24-09, 02:33 PM

I wanted to go Kiev +.5 but my partner has veto on soccer games (as I have veto on NBA ones) and he forced a draw bet, a nice x3.38 win!

**Karayilan9** · 11-24-09, 02:38 PM

I like Lyon!

**SRBI** · 11-24-09, 02:43 PM

Biggest play of the day for me along with Inter Milan +1 and Liverpool -1/-1.5.

Small plays on Sevilla ML and Standard Liege +1.5.

BOL to everyone!

**smitch124** · 11-24-09, 02:47 PM

The 1st goal is scored by Liverpool!!

BL · 11-24-09, 03:28 PM

Looks like all 22 players are on the same side.

Wouldn't surprise me if they all came out for the second half and had tea and toast in the center circle.

**SRBI** · 11-24-09, 03:33 PM

Second half must be our time to shine...let's wait and see what happens.

BL · 11-24-09, 04:12 PM

bah Liverpool will only win by 1 goal and Sevilla will lose... great

jw · 11-24-09, 04:26 PM

One team needed it - the other team didn't .. you would have thought i'd have learned my lesson by now picking the team that does not NEED the win.

On the upside - I didn't give back all of the winnings I made yesterday .. so i'm still in profit for the week so far.

**SRBI** · 11-24-09, 04:36 PM

...my source is 1-5 today. He just absolutely killed my bankroll w/ these plays. Ouch................

Worst day in history I think to date.

**smitch124** · 11-24-09, 04:38 PM

low goal scoring day, not one 3...

**SRBI** · 11-24-09, 04:39 PM

I think this was by far the best day for public bettors on the CL. The only (obvious) one that did not come thru is Liverpool -1.5.

F*cking awful.

Tomorrow should be that day then. Hoping to come back strong...

**chrisa1002** · 11-25-09, 12:49 AM

Onto tomorrow guys!

I like AC Milan vs Marseille Over 2.5 goals @ 2.025. AC Milan are playing an attacking style under Leonardo but are pretty shaky at the back. I think Marseille will be desperate to win this game because if they don't, they'll basically be out of the CL as Real should win their game against Zurich meaning Marseille will attack as much as possible.

**OperatorX** · 11-25-09, 01:42 PM

No afternoon picks? I gotta do something at work

leaning towards Atletico Madrid vs APOEL Nicosia

**OperatorX** · 11-25-09, 01:42 PM

wow I linked to the game stream without even knowing it.

I like the following, but don't know which I am playing yet:

Atletico -0.5
FC Zurich +2.5
Maccabi Haifa +1.5
Man Utd -1.5

Just hit the first one of the day with CSKA o2.5, hoping they keep the 2-1 lead because I also have a 3-team combo going with CSKA -0.5, Atletico -0.5, and Maccabi +1.5.

**OperatorX** · 11-25-09, 03:03 PM

bah Athletico!! I got my first win with the CSKA ML so far so good.

**Masu485** · 11-25-09, 03:26 PM

what a horrible start. i'm currently losing 6/8 of the cl games, and probably losing on everton in epl.

**SRBI** · 11-25-09, 03:38 PM

CL is just so unpredictable...and we're lucky to have hit CSKA and the over 2.5 thanks to the refs.

Funny cause I called Dzeko to score and pow 3 minutes later he scored, I even called Krasic to score for CSKA afterwards and but he instead scored the 3rd goal to cover o2.5 and CSKA win.

Another thing to keep in mind is that yesterday's early game was a 0-0 draw. Lot of people thought today would be similar...

The CL is shady as fuq I'll tell you that right now.

**demize21** · 11-25-09, 03:46 PM

cska had over written all over it from the get go

**Masu485** · 11-25-09, 03:55 PM

holy shit, juventus is losing now. and fulham scored! i'm gonna go 2-8 today in soccer! and that's only if zurich and maccabi hold on

You're right, it did, but does that mean that everyone thought the same?

I heard that a ton of money was being put on the under...from a real source.

Chit is riggeddy riggedd if you wanna believe it or not.
