Marseilles vs Manchester UTD

The Special One · 03-15-11, 12:22 PM

good luck, youll need it

and watch out, the way you structured the bets is so that if MNU win 2-0/3-0, you will lose all of them... all in all, either one us will be shivering in the second half of this game.

Yep, risky betting , if Marseille can't find the net, your done. Seems like the most likely outcomes push or lose your bets 1-0 , 2-0, 2-1 Man U = bad news , you're pretty much relying on a 1-1.

I didn't put a lot of money on them but I'd make more money than you do if it hit... at least I'd be happy for you if are successful with your pick!

We have to take risk sometime... if all the favorite teams were winning, Bookmakers would stop their business.

well see thats the thing... you are treating MNU as a typical favorite - but IMO both Barca and MNU (at home) are exceptions for bookmakers, almost like they are expecting to lose money with those games... sort of like a sale in a clothing store - it is more for attracting business.

You do'nt bet against Man Utd at home especially when it is a must win game to qualify against a French team. The team has experience and not that the one few seasons ago against Monaco.

GL all!

Marseille to qualify for me too gots to take a chance

Kraghen · 03-15-11, 12:55 PM

It's also a must-win game for Marseille, they got a draw in the first leg, I think they are aware of their chance, and it will motivate them enought to hopefully score a goal, and of course not conceding a goal.

Marseille will certainly lose this game, but there are some reason to believe they can win.

Deschamps isn't a newbie. He already experienced a final CL game with Monaco in 2004. He will certainly find a tactics for his team tonight.

André Ayew is in good form, Valbuena won't be in the starting line-up, but he will certainly play in the 2nd half, he seems to feel good in England as he scored 1-0 against Liverpool in 2007 and helped France to win 2-0 against England at Wembley.

I know Manchester UTD have only losed one game at home this season, but nothing is impossible in sport... don't you think so?

Absolutely, but I hate betting agaisnt Man Utd at home.

I agree and I'm not suggesting the favorite winning is certain to be the right play but don't put yourself in a corner making 4 bets like that, take Marseille +1 for more money if that's the outcome you expect. Also pushes on 1-0 or 2-1 Man U.

In fact, I'm aiming a draw here.... but in case marseille win I took the +1. I think a draw is more probable as it's very difficult to win at UTD. So I won't lose the marseille +1 if the game end as a draw...

I hear what you're saying...but betting against ManU at home is, typically, not a money-making deal.

GL with your play!!

Definitely a risky bet, but thatll make it even more entertaining to watch (at least initially). Good luck, I'd love to see it happen.

maybe because Vidic is out...

I admire your bravery guys, cant ever see myself betting against manu at home.

nobull · 03-15-11, 02:18 PM

manu all the way to the english bank baby .............. no brainer here ............. don't waster your energy thinkin over this one

chivemmali · 03-15-11, 02:27 PM

No Vidic

Manchester united :
Van der Sar - O'Shea, Smalling, Brown, Evra - Nani, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs - Hernandez, Rooney.

Marseille :
Mandanda - Fanni, Diawara, Heinze, Taïwo - Mbia, Cheyrou - Rémy, Lucho Gonzales, A. Ayew - Gignac.

Under 2.5 and Marseille to advance for me. BOL

scholesy · 03-15-11, 02:32 PM

Man Utd wins this by a goal, so no value in the AH IMO.

Kraghen · 03-15-11, 03:30 PM

Marseille had some great occasion to score....

At some point Marseille has to go for it...fingers crossed that they slip one past at some point

Kraghen · 03-15-11, 03:35 PM

It's not finish for Marseille as they only need one goal to be qualified... I'll cross my finger for a Marseille goal in the 2nd half.... but I also hope they won't concede any goal...

Don't bet against the newly powerful chicharooney attack.
