EP36's Easy Street

APRIL 10th: [TURKEY] TRABZONSPOR +105
Trabzonspor is trying to keep its place at the top of the table as they travel to Galatasaray. The stadium will be empty as the Lions were handed a one match home ban for their fans throwing stuff on the pitch against Fenerbache. Trabzonspor has only failed to gain full points in three of their 13 road matches this season and have won four straight on the road/overall. If their last match was any indication, Galatasaray does not look poised for any sort of turn around under their new manager.

Winner winner chicken dinner! Good job, EP36!

Thanx again E.P!! Break A Leg with the rest of your selections today Bro!!

APRIL 11th: [TURKEY] KASIMPASA-BESIKTAS OVER 2.5 [-113]
Besiktas are still an unpredictable side from a results standpoint as they dropped a 1-0 match on the road to Sivasspor last time out after nailing 5th place squad Kayserispor 4-2 at home. That makes it tough for me to back them on the road where they seem to not always be focused. Pasa is in desperation mode as they battle against relegation. At home, they have shown a steady scoring streak lately in league play with goals in each of their last four and come in off a shock 3-1 win on the road against Kayserispor. They have conceded in 11 of 14 at home. Besiktas have been inconsistent scoring on the road, but may find some success against a backup goal keeper today and a defense that ranks last in goals allowed this season.

[zombie autopilot]

like this pick, over 2.5 would be a normal result. BOL

Damn!! Just missed it!! Break A Leg!!

APRIL 11th: [DRAW DIVIDENDS]

LIVERPOOL-MANCHESTER CITY +235
ZARAGOZA-GETAFE +245

Simple idea is to go 1-1 and profit.

[Blue_Chips]

That's a good idea. I took them both at PK though. Both are still plus money. Smaller profit in case they DRAW.

[killim]

with you, hoping for 1-1. Good luck

[FreddDS]

Our only hope is a tie in the Zaragoza-Getafe now, as it's already 3-0 in the Liverpool-Man City match.

Waste of a day. Should have gone with my general feeling today of get the fukk away from the computer.

[EaglesPhan36]

APRIL 12th: [ROMANIA] DINAMO BUCURESTI -1.5 [-130]
Unirea Urziceni has been in poor form all season. They have dropped six of their last seven overall. On the road, they have dropped seven straight. Their last three on the road have been multiple goal losses. This is a team that is headed for relegation, but probably worse due to their financial problems that they could disband altogether. Dinamo are hoping to keep a play in the Champions League by finishing in the top six. They sit 6th with a one point lead right now. Dinamo has been a little loose defensively this season, but in this spot they face the worse offensive team in the league that has tallied just 15 goals, only five on the road.

[Smogs]

Just had a thought about this ep - why is a -500 fav -1.5 on the handicap?? Surely a -500 fav automatically goes to -2 handicap......

Seem a bit fishy to you?

Having said that, -2 is only 11/10 so maybe things are as expected

[EaglesPhan36]

Record: 29-18-2 [+9.95]

I'll take that. Looked bleak after UU scored late, but banged home a 90th minute goal to get a 3-1 win.

[Blue_Chips]

I missed your play, but I hit the over. Good call!

[EaglesPhan36]

APRIL 12th: [SCOTLAND D2] BRECHIN CITY-AYR UNITED OVER 2.5/3 [-120]
Brechin City's home matches have featured at least three goals in 11 of 14 this season. They have allowed multiple goals at home in three straight. Ayr has allowed ten goals in their last five matches overall. On the road, they have given up eight goals in their last three. Offensively though they have managed multiple goals in four of their last five away from home. This should be a cagey fight as these two teams are separated in 2nd & 3rd places here by a single point. Brechin City will be missing a key midfielder in this match, but they have plenty of fire power up front to cover that.

[EaglesPhan36]

APRIL 12th: [SCOTLAND] CELTIC -1.5 [-105]
Celtic travel to take on St.Johnstone in a Premier League clash. St.Johnstone has been pretty solid at taking points at home with their loss to Rangers last time out [2-0] breaking an eight match unbeaten streak at home. St.Johnstone followed that up with a 2-0 road loss to Dundee United. Celtic meanwhile continue to battle Rangers for the title with a two point lead. The Hoops have won 12 of their last 14 overall in the SPL. Their last road tilt was a disappointing 2-0 loss to Motherwell. Prior to that, Celtic had won 10 of 12 on the road with their last four wins by multiple goals. St.Johnstone is expected to rest some key players today ahead of their Scottish Cup clash this weekend with Motherwell. That should further enhance Celtic's chances of a thumping win today. The Hoops have won by multiple tallies against St.Johnston in each of the last five meetings - including both earlier this season by 2-0 & 3-0 scorelines.

Nice write-ups. I'll be tailing both. Thank You, & Break a Leg!!

[EaglesPhan36]

APRIL 12th: [CHAMPIONS LEAGUE] SHAKHTAR DONETSK +0.5 [-106]
There's obviously little drama to this tie after Barcelona devastated Shakhtar 5-1 in the 1st leg. Shakhtar shockingly blew their 58 home match unbeaten streak with a loss in league play last time out, so I would think their manager would be eager to show better today in addition to bouncing back from the humiliation in Spain. Look like Barca will play some reserves today with Real Madrid looming this weekend, although they still have some dangerous players like Villa. Shakhtar's side will closely mirror their side last time vs. Barca except for some changes along the back line due to injury. I think the Ukrainian side will be eager to show well in front of their home crowd & Barca has not taken full points in 11 of their last 13 in CL play on the road.

[EaglesPhan36]

[CHAMPIONS LEAGUE] SHAKHTAR DONETSK-BARCELONA OVER 2.5 [-126]
Barca side looks mostly regular after all. Messi, Villa, Xavi all in. Had already booked Shahktar +0.5 and still think with the home edge, etc. that it's worthy --- but also like this one quite a bit now with a strong Barca side likely to find success against an open Shakhtar side.

[PickApprentice]

This is my big play of the day, good luck!

[EaglesPhan36]

Damn super save by St.Johnstone keeper to keep Celtic from going up 2-0. Looks like they won't cover the handicap here. Unlucky because they dominated this match and had a couple real good looks late to get another goal.

Lousy afternoon.

[Spaceviews]

JESUS!! What a F#cking day!! I tailed every pick today, so I know the pain you feel. I almost just threw a large screen plasma T.V. out my friggin 3rd story window watching that Barc/Shit match. I dropped a little too much on that over. I Need to work on the $$ management!! Not gonna let it ruin the day though. We'll get'em tonight. Keep your head up E.P. It was a bad day, everyone has them.
Break A Leg Bro!!

[EaglesPhan36]

Yeah too many plays today for me. I wasn't going to play CL today, but talked myself into it. Would have had a nice day without those picks.

[EaglesPhan36]

APRIL 13th: [ROMANIA] ASTRA PLOIESTI -1 [-110]
Astra Ploiesti draws the league's worst team Sportul Studentesc Bucuresti today. Sportul has only gained points in one of 13 road matches this season. Astra is on a five match unbeaten streak at home as they make a push towards a European qualification spot in Romania. They stand in 8th, but are just seven points out of 5th & a Europa League spot. Astra has only lost twice at home and yielded just eight goals in 12 matches. Sportul has been held scoreless in four of their last six on the road.

[killim]

Bad Champions game: better today!

[Smogs]

red card and 1-0 home side guys, let's have a second goal

[EaglesPhan36]

Record: 30-21-3 [+7.08]

Astra wins 1-0, PUSH. At least the one goal was a pretty one to watch.

APRIL 13th: [ROMANIA] TIMISOARA-PANDURII TARGU JIU OVER 2.5 [-122]
Timisoara has scored multiple goals in 11 of their 12 home matches this season. Pandurii has given up multiple road goals in nine of 13 this season. They have also scored multiple goals in three straight and netted at least one goal in six of their last seven on the road. Key here are the visitors. If they score, I think this gets done.

[EaglesPhan36]

Going to play both RED CARD props for the Champions League today. If a red card is shown = cash. I think they're fun situational options today vs. the unknown of sides or totals. Many times in these 2nd legs & I think especially today with two sides being so far down - frustration could rear its head. Tottenham already leads the way with three red cards this term in the CL. I would expect they shouldn't get one today after Crouch's horrible card in the 1st leg, but if Real scores early or simply parks the bus in this match ... I could see something. Inter likewise could find it frustrating if they cannot get at Schalke today or that they are down 2-5 on aggregate in the 1st place. Small plays on both, if one shows then profits flow.

Tottenham-Real Madrid +353
Schalke-Inter Milan +316

[The Special One]

very good choice actually with the REDs, GL GL GL
