Chicken Dinner w/EP36

vitalyo · 08-13-10, 12:57 PM

Great picks/solid record

.
Posting units + odds for your wagers (thats the way it should be).

PS. I noticed long time ago that red card doesn't help much (for a win and O/U)
Red carded teams (if not losing, seems to sit back and protect what ever they can)
It's hard to break them. Because they don't push forward . Kind of hard to score against 10 defenders .
Cheers GL .

True, although teams with solid attacks I think will find a way to break through. This Czech squad isn't that gifted though, so definitely as you said tough for a team to score against a brick wall especially when they normally don't score a lot against a full squad.

PLAY #37: [MLS] F.C. Dallas PK [-112]
Hard to go against what could be the MLS' best team right now in FC Dallas. They have gone 9 straight without dropping points and have only failed to get a result once in 9 road matches. D.C. United sacked their manager, but the results remain poor. They have won just twice in 9 home matches and are winless in their last 7 overall. FC Dallas won the first meeting in Dallas, 1-0. Taking FC Dallas on the PK line here should yield no worse than a push as they seem fairly likely to continue their unbeaten run against DC United, be it an outright win or a draw.

ZXCVBNM · 08-14-10, 02:57 PM

Nice pick, with you on that one definitely.

PLAY #38: [MLS] N.Y. Red Bull vs. L.A. Galaxy OVER 2/2.5 [-140]
Taking the split total here. This is either going to be a superb display of offensive futbol or a snooze fest. I think with the Galaxy's recent defensive issues [7 goals allowed in their last 4] that there will be goals in this one hopefully. The Red Bull have been pretty stout defensively of late with two straight clean sheets albeit not against the kind of firepower that LA brings to the table. NY I think is desperately wanting that breakout match for their offense where the work rate finally equals goals. If LA plays anything like they have in their last two matches in MLS, NY may get that chance. I like both teams to score, just find it hard to believe that with the quality offensively for both that they will be denied. Took the split total in case this winds up 1-1, so I get a little something back.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-14-10, 06:39 PM

I think I'm gonna quit trying to pick overs in MLS. Never seems to happen.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-14-10, 08:37 PM

Well FC Dallas is rolling 2-0. Gotta love my current units up for the season - shout at the devil!

Record: 24-14 [+6.66]

PLAY #39: [FINLAND VEIKKAUSLIIGA] MyPa vs. Lahti DRAW [+234]
Lahti are the draw masters on the road in league play this season with 6 draws in 8 matches. Overall, they have drawn two straight. MyPa has earned a draw in three straight in all competitions and three of their last four in Veukkausliiga play. Lahti has only failed to net a result in one of eight road matches this season while MyPa has failed to net the full three points in four of their last five overall. MyPa has also only won two of their nine overall at home this season.

PLAY #40: [MEXICO PRIMERA] Puebla -145
Puebla is off to a solid start in league play this season with two wins and an away draw at Guadalajara Chivas. They have scored five goals in their last two matches and stand 2-0 at home in the young season. They face Atlante today. Atlante has had defensive issues so far, allowing 8 goals in three matches in going 0-3 to start the season. More troubling is their offense has produced just two goals so far. Puebla earned plenty of confidence playing in the Super Liga before the Primera Division kicked off. Look for that to continue to pay off today.

PLAY #39

Record: 25-14 [+9.00]

1-1 draw.

beefcake · 08-15-10, 12:35 PM

Nice!!!

EaglesPhan36 · 08-15-10, 01:36 PM

Well good thing the draw came in because Puebla is gonna kill with the chalk loss here.

Record: 25-15 [+7.55]

beefcake · 08-15-10, 01:51 PM

Bastards score late then proceed to kill the mojo by getting red carded..

PLAY #41: [ROMANIA LIGA 1] Otelul Galati vs. Targu Mures UNDER 2.5/2 [-134]
The hosts, Otelul Galati, have yet to yield a goal in three league matches. They face one of the teams that was promoted to Liga 1 this season in Targu Mures. They have done well to secure three points in their first three matches at this level and have not embarassed themselves thus far, scoring two goals and conceding two. On the road, I would expect them to try to set up a wall in front of goal and look for a draw or low scoring defeat to keep their morale at a good level. Otelul Galati would be happy to take the three points on a 1-0, 2-0 type of match I would think.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-16-10, 12:03 PM

PLAY #41

Record: 26-15 [+8.55]

1-0 final.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-16-10, 12:19 PM

PLAY #42: [FINLAND VEIKKAUSLIIGA] Mariehamn vs. Oulu OVER 2.5 [-132]
Mariehamn has been on a goal scoring spree with 13 in their last four matches in league play. Their defense has been a little loose though, conceding 6 in that same span. At home, there have been three goals or more in 8 of their 9 Veikkausliiga clashes this season. Oulu is having tremendous difficulities on the road, yielding 14 goals in their last four. They have managed to score in three straight road contests though and 5 of their last 6 away from home. Mariehamn ranks 1st in goals allowed at home with 17, while Oulu ranks 1st in goals allowed on the road with 19.

HIT AGAIN PAL !!!
PERFECT... goodluck all season long

EaglesPhan36 · 08-16-10, 02:24 PM

Stupid Mariehamn doesn't score a goal. 2-0 Oulu wins. Hate when that happens.

PLAY #43: [CHAMPIONS LEAGUE] Dynamo Kiev vs. Ajax OVER 2.5 [-109]
I'm not a proponent of playing too much in the 1st legs of most of these ties as they can be quite unpredictable. Still, this one I have to try or I won't respect myself this afternoon. Two quality attacking sides. A questionable defensive side in Ajax. Shevchenko vs. Suarez is the glamour match-up of strikers today. I can't see the Ukrainians being content to have a short lead heading to Ajax for the 2nd leg, so I expect them to press today. Ajax will want the coveted away goal for sure, but I just don't see their defense holding up enough to keep Kiev from potentially scoring a couple times. Ajax gave up four goals in their last qualifying round vs. PAOK from Greece and has conceded four goals in two Eredivisie matches so far this season. F*ck it. Chicken Dinner in the PM.

emeka · 08-17-10, 10:14 AM

i have this bet too, Ajax is very well right now ,they will scores their chances, and Kiev is good at home....

My parlay: Young Boys - Tottenham over 2,5 x Din.Kiev - Ajax over 2,5 x Admira Wacker x Mayer Florian

if this will win, i will be high

Spaceviews · 08-17-10, 12:29 PM

Tailing you .....Lets break a leg!!

EaglesPhan36 · 08-17-10, 02:35 PM

Scoreless half. This is why I don't play these first legs much.

Spaceviews · 08-17-10, 03:00 PM

Come on We've seen crazy 2nd halfs....... Lets hope they pick it up and start finding the back of the net!!!!!

As I type I see Ajax is listening 0-1 -59'.
Come on boys, Lets go!!! Lets see Kiev answer quickly and make this thing a possibility......

Spaceviews · 08-17-10, 03:12 PM

Thats what I'm talking about!!!! Kiev 1-1 68'!!!!

Now we have a game!! A short amount of time to get the third.......
But now at least a possibility

EaglesPhan36 · 08-17-10, 03:13 PM

Yeah that red card is probably gonna stop this at 1-1 though. Doubt Kiev will try to push the envelope and give up a goal now that it's even. At least it got exciting.

Spaceviews · 08-17-10, 03:18 PM

I took the Draw at (+225) as a back up so I' m good but i would have loved to see that
over cash.....Ahhhhh those b#stards

EaglesPhan36 · 08-17-10, 03:38 PM

Good job taking that draw. 1st half scoreless was a big minus for this one. If there was a goal in the 1st half, the red card probably wouldn't have been an issue on the total potentially. Anywho, onto the next.

Smart man

EaglesPhan36 · 08-19-10, 11:16 AM

Nothing "official" but I am going to try playing two draws to see if I can split them and get a profit. Going with the experienced road team angle in that they should be playing smart for a draw that will allow them to win at home next time:

RAPID VIENNA-ASTON VILLA DRAW +233
PAOK-FENERBACHE DRAW +236

EaglesPhan36 · 08-19-10, 01:42 PM

Hit the 1st draw, so money no matter what happens with the second.
