    Schalke - Mainz

    Schalke ML went from around 1.65 to almost 1.80... Something I'm missing?

    I've got Schalke ML at the end of a pretty big parlay, depends only on this match. Thinking about hedging now...

    Full squad Schalke it seems looking at all reports, plus with Draxler atleast on the bench. Should be in good shape for Schalke to get the 5th straight win.

    they're playing Real Madrid in the midweek so that might be a factor.

    Still looking at the squad chosen they aren't resting anyone that isn't already non avaliable due to injury. And they have Real @ home, aswell as tonights game being a home game.

    Be careful, Schalke have Real Madrid in couple of days, and historically teams do poor before big Champions League games, I will stay away from this one

    I am going heavy on Mainz +0.5. Mainz have been perpetually improving in the second part of the season, every game I have been following them they have been improving. Excluding their second half meltdown versus Wolfsburg, you shouldn't consider that game as an indicator of Mainz.

    Plus with CL around the corner, I would assume they wouldn't play to their full potential. I think they will allow themselves to drop points here.

    I am expecting a low scoring draw. I would highly recommend to hedge if you have a lot of money hanging in the balance.

    Taking,

    Mainz +0.5

    Schalke has looked like the 2nd best team in Bundesliga ever since they finally got back most of their injured players, and they are eyeing the 2nd position in the league. With Dortmund also running somewhat smoothly currently they'd be full blown retarded to ''allow'' themselves to drop any points at all.

    Quality wise Bayern is a notch above the rest of the Bundes teams, however for Schalke , Leverkusen , Dortmund & Gladbach they are very evenly matched and it's up to those FOUR to decide who gets the TWO certain CL slots for next year.

    Practice has been shutdown for press and outsiders all week. So every action speaks for Schalke taking this very seriously, and your whole reasoning for why to take Mainz here is basicly just conjection that you can't base on anything substantial at all.

    Looking at the starting 11 they aren't resting anyone either, and Draxler is on the bench. (he'll prolly get 25-30 mins)

    If Schalke looks like they've done in every game played so far 14 they'll win this.

    Hedged in the end, still pissed at the result. Snoozefest. Last week the same thing happened with a parlay ending with Parma-Catania, 0-0. At least I didn't lose anything this time..

    How would you hedge at the end?

    Didn't mean at the end of the game, meant that I hadn't decided before the game and decided to do it.
