English Soccer 2010-2011 9-3-4 +5.05 units (75.00%)

Man United -126 to win 1 unit

Sunderland has a pretty good history at home against Man United, and Man United not playing well as of now on the road. But yet Sunderland hasn't beaten Man United in a long ass time. I think Man United should win this game, even though it will be close, and I've just got take advantage of this great value on a team that rarely loses games when they should win them.

French Soccer 2010-2011 6-2-2 +4.41 units (75.00%)

OM pick -119 to win 1 unit

I would expect this line to honestly be at +0.5 rather then +0. Though OM has played pretty poorly so far this season, and St. Ettiene has played really well. I think this shows some potential into a game where OM turns it around because St. Ettiene has gone on some poor stretches while at home last season. I say that the overall talent of OM comes out in this game and the fact that line should be higher then it is (in St. Ettiene's favor) makes me almost think the books are begging for people to bet against OM>

Alexgurv · 10-03-10, 02:08 AM

Made some square plays yesterday, hopefully will turn it around here

English Soccer 2010-2011 9-4-4 +4.00 units (69.23%)

Arsenal +0.5 (+130) to bet 1 unit

I just pretty simple have a gut feeling about this one just being a really close game. Don't see how Chelsea is considered to be stronger then last year though.

Italian Soccer 2010-2011 4-1-2 +3.09 units (80.00%)

Napoli pick -141 to win 1 unit

Needless to say Roma has been struggling this season, I believe it at least continues with this game.

Alexgurv · 10-08-10, 01:05 AM

International Soccer 2010 Overall 30-16-10 +13.73 units (65.21%)

Russia pick +106 to bet 1 unit

I have a feeling this will be a draw but I'm hoping that Russia gets one by. Ireland has faced Armenia and Andorra so far. Now what most shocking about the Andorra game is that they actually scored a goal (Andorra that is). Since 1998, Andorra has scored 6 goals in Euro qualifying, and they have won no games, or even drawn any games. They struggled against Armenia. Russia has had its ups and downs, but offensively, if they can finally get there talent to get going, they are far better then Ireland IMO. The problem would be if they actually play like I know they can.

Alexgurv · 10-09-10, 12:09 AM

International Soccer 2010 Overall 31-16-10 +14.79 units (65.95%)

Israel pick +133 to bet 1 unit

I went back and forth on this game for a while and finally decided that I'm going with Israel. Benayoun is out and that should decrease there offensive production but Israel's form at home has improved a lot. Croatia struggled against Greece who they were expected to beat and we could see the same type of game with Israel. This isn't the same Croatian team we usually see, they've lost a few players to injuries or suspensions for this one. Even Bilic admitted that he would be happy to get out of Israel with 1 point.

International Soccer 2010 Overall 31-17-10 +13.79 units (64.58%)

Slovakia pick -137 to win 1 unit

A good defensive side against what I think is an overrated Ireland team. Either this ends up a 0-0 draw or Slovakia wins 1-0 IMO.

Alexgurv · 10-15-10, 10:24 AM

German Soccer 2010-2011 4-2-1 +2.10 units (66.66%)

FC Koln +0.5 +122 to bet 1 unit

Seems like every Friday is a surprise result. Silly reasoning but it feels like I've been burned on Fridays with the underdog coming out of nowhere in these games.

fixxer · 10-15-10, 10:48 AM

My guess is over, and possibly Koln +0.5 for this game. Koln is clearly a better team than their results, and Dortmund is an unpredictable team, which is far better at home...

cogiditopapa · 10-15-10, 10:59 AM

Koln vrs Borussia is a tought game to bet on...if I have to bet I will only pick the over 2.5, a win can go for either side.
And you guys are right...underdogs, friday, at home are tough to beat!

English Soccer 2010-2011 9-5-4 +3.00 units (64.28%)

Tottenham pick -129 to win 1 unit

I think there gonna try to play at there best going into a huge game during the week against Inter. A lot of the regulars look to be in the starting lineup. Tottenham also looked like they were starting to pick up there offensive play going into the international break. Fulham has not beaten Tottenham since 2008. No Zamora also kills Fulham IMO. I think this is at least a draw.

French Soccer 2010-2011 6-2-3 +4.41 units (75.00%)

FCGB pick +101 to bet 1 unit

This should be a slow paced game. FCGB picking up there play of late. Even though Auxerre scored 4 goals in there last game, they truly lack offense. Problem with FCGB is that they can put shots up, but they can't seem to make them. I'm hoping this is where they turn there season around.

Alexgurv · 10-17-10, 01:20 AM

Don't like a lot today tbh

Spanish Soccer 2010-2011 5-2-1 +3.00 units (71.42%)

Real Sociedad pick +115 to bet 1 unit

Think this is a good value pick. Real Sociedad is pretty bad on the road, actually they are horrible. Levanta is historically good at home. But taking some points from my boy Toronto Mike, they were historically good in the second division. There a newly promoted side. Since they were good in the second division, its a whole different ball game in the Premier League.

minet123 · 10-17-10, 01:22 AM

Like the Real pick

Sunderland +0.5 -123 to win 1 unit

Two evenly matched teams here, even if Bent doesn't play could see this playing out to a draw. Will take +0.5 in a game like this one.

UEFA Competitions 2010-2011 11-10-2 -0.60 units (52.38%)

Shakhtar Donestk +0.5 +123 to bet 1 unit

Could be an overlook type situation for Arsenal. Arsenal is riddled with injuries as well which wont help. Shakhtar been solid on the road the last couple of years in UEFA games. They've only lost one game on the road since 2008 and they even beat Barcelona on the road at one point a couple of years ago. I think they have a chance to win, so I took the +0.5, but I think a draw is very likely

Real Madrid -156 to win 1 unit

Real Madrid is finally getting there offense going, while AC Milan has been damn nearly terrible on the road. Mourinho also knows this team and knows it well. I think Real Madrid will win easily.

Alexgurv · 10-20-10, 12:46 AM

UEFA Competitions 2010-2011 12-11-2 -0.60 units (52.17%)

Tottenham +0.5 (+136) to bet 1 unit

Rafa Benitez. Thats it.

Rubin Kazan pick -116 to win 1 unit

Rubin is a good defensive side that can really stop Panathinaikos from scoring. The Greek side has had trouble scoring goals in some of these games and I could just easily see this being a draw. Hopefully Rubin sneaks one in.

Are we talking about the same Rafa Benitez who led Liverpool to an European Cup in 2005, another final in 2007, semi-finals in 08?

He's going to shit on 'ol Twitchy tomorrow.

Surely you can only be talking about Steven Gerrard leading Liverpool to all those things. Betting against Rafa Benitez the last 2 years has done nothing but win me money

Must have missed Gerrard scoring goals against Juventus, Chelsea among others?

Good luck today tho.

Hamburg pick -106 to win 1 unit

Bayern stacked with injuries and just not playing well this season, especially on the road. Hamburg has played well this season, at home against a struggling team, I think they should win.

Alexgurv · 10-23-10, 12:59 AM

English Soccer 2010-2011 11-5-4 +5.00 units (68.75%)

ASton Villa pick +124 to bet 1 unit

Villa has won 4 of the last 5 in this matchup. They've been playing much better then how they've started. Played a decent defensive game against Chelsea. Didn't play bad against Spurs. Sunderland haven't won a game since August. I think either a push or win here.

French Soccer 2010-2011 7-2-3 +5.42 units (77.77%)

Caen +0.5 -111 to win 1 unit

After St. Ettiene's hot start they haven't really played to well. Would figure this line to be more like +1. But Caen has shown up this season against some food competition despite being just promoted to Ligue 1. They seem to play a good defensive game with a few clean sheets so far this season.

Alexgurv · 10-24-10, 02:26 AM

English Soccer 2010-2011 11-6-4 +4.00 units (64.70%)

Man City pick -131 to win 1 unit

As well as Arsenal has played this season, its hard for me to against Man city at home, where they have been playing great, even with injuries.

Italian Soccer 2010-2011 5-1-2 +4.09 units (83.33%)

Roma pick -116 to win 1 unit

As poorly as Roma has been playing this season, Parma has played even worse and are in dead last in Italy. I think Roma can at least draw if not win in this game.

Spanish Soccer 2010-2011 5-3-1 +2.00 units (62.50%)

Atl Madrid +0.5 -142 to win 1 unit

Atl Madrid not been playing well on the road but I think Villarreal's stats are a little misleading. Atl Madrid been playing all year the last couple of games, take away the Sevilla game they've been playing great this year (compared to last year especially). This will be Villarreal's first real test, they've only played 1 team in the top of the league this year and that was back in August.

virus450 · 10-24-10, 02:37 AM

good luck, I dont believe in roma ,especially as visitor, but anyway good luck

Italian Soccer 2010-2011 5-1-3 +4.09 units (83.33%)

AC Milan pick -120 to win 1 unit

Despite what everyone thinks are there struggles this year, AC Milan has only lost 1 game this year. They've scored a goal in every game but the one they actually lost. They have a few key injuries as well but I think they can maintain control of the ball and not give up too much to Napoli. Napoli has had a good season but they've been better on the road then at home where they've only won 2 games this year. I think this will be a close game, but AC Milan's attacking power gets it done.

German Soccer 2010-2011 4-3-2 +1.10 units (57.14%)

Freiburg +1.5 -112 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Upset Friday! I dont think Freiburg is gonna win straight up but I can see them giving them a game. Freiburg has scored a goal in every away game this year that theyve played, and in none of there away games have they been beaten by 2. Bayern is not themselves yet, they still have some injuries. Last year Bayern beat Freiburg twice, but they beat them 2-1 twice. I think we see the same type of game, or maybe even Freiburg draws

French Soccer 2010-2011 8-2-3 +6.42 units (80.00%)

FCGB pick -101 to win 1 unit

FCGB not the best road team in the world but Monaco is out right struggling this season. They've only won 2 games overall all year in the league and are currently on a 4 game winless streak. FCGB should probably want to bounce back from a 2-0 lose to Brest at home. There defense has been somewhat solid this year and I think they are due for a goal considering they didn't score any against Brest and didnt score any against Lorient in there cup game. I predict a 1-0 win.

English Soccer 2010-2011 11-7-4 +2.69 units (61.11%)

Bolton +0.5 -130 to win 1 unit

IMO, these two teams are pretty evenly matched. Bolton is at home and I am getting them at + points.

Italian Soccer 2010-2011 6-1-3 +5.09 units (85.71%)

Sampdoria pick -134 to win 1 unit

Sampdoria has gotten a lot of draws this season, but have only had 2 losses. It has to be noted that Cesena has not won since Mid-September. Also that they have given up 8 combined goals at home in just 3 games (Cup and Serie A).Sampdoria has had some struggle scoring on the road but I'll take my chances with this game.
