CONCACAF Gold Cup Soccer Picks

Mexico will get frustrated the longer this stays like this, but....

They are very close on almost every attack, if they want to score feed Chicarito. Really hard to see Guatemala hold on for any long period of time tonight.

**pdc** · 06-18-11, 07:30 PM

hahaha no way theres no chance, mexico is playing just great........need a miracle here............lets see probably it´ll happen

**FindTheLock** · 06-18-11, 07:32 PM

mexico is sending them over the cross bar tonight. if you win this bet it will resemble spain vs swiss in the world cup where the swiss held onto a 1 goal lead getting pelted with chance after chance. No doubt mexico will be trying to score at will after conceding once already.

**FindTheLock** · 06-18-11, 07:34 PM

my book still has mexico -200 to win even though they are down a goal lol

**FindTheLock** · 06-18-11, 07:40 PM

if mexico to win gets to -140 I will have to take it. it is -175 right now.

**RubberKettle** · 06-18-11, 07:42 PM

Rooting heavily for Guatemala, this would be a welcomed result for the rest of the field.

**RubberKettle** · 06-18-11, 07:43 PM

If Guatemala can get the ball up field quickly they can create a problem. Mexico are basically marking 3v3 in their own half.

**FindTheLock** · 06-18-11, 07:44 PM

I hope this score holds till HT so I can bet on mexico to win with good odds.

**pdc** · 06-18-11, 07:46 PM

mmmm the 30th minute i want.........guatemala is still running every ball and theyre starting to believe i think, still to soon but at least they didnt receive soon.

**FindTheLock** · 06-18-11, 07:47 PM

U can get Guatemala +500 right now!!! that would be a miracle but they do have the lead!

**pdc** · 06-18-11, 07:52 PM

finally someone that can stop barrera, thats the key f the game right now......great game by pappa

**RubberKettle** · 06-18-11, 07:56 PM

This really is an exhibition on how to counter attack by Guatemala. One or two passes and they are in dangerous positions.

Mexico is getting frustrated.

**FindTheLock** · 06-18-11, 07:57 PM

passes are going long and shots are going high tonight. Mexico isn't putting the touch they had on their balls in the games prior to this one.

**top310** · 06-18-11, 07:59 PM

the 2.5 goals looking good so far

**pdc** · 06-18-11, 08:01 PM

yeah i agree guatemala looks more comfortable now and mexico looks frustrated now, they will suffer to get the 1st goal but theyll get it..............after that i dont know what will happen in the game.........i like my chances now.......be carefull with the 2nd half line it wont be easy to win it if u get a nice line like -110 its ok....but i can see this game going to extra time now.

**FindTheLock** · 06-18-11, 08:01 PM

mexico -139 Guat +400

**RubberKettle** · 06-18-11, 08:02 PM

HT Lines 5Dimes

Guatemala +430
Mexico -120
Draw +230

**FindTheLock** · 06-18-11, 08:03 PM

damn I would like to open a 5dimes account but I've heard too many bad stories from people about them canceling bets and claiming they gave out bad lines. That's bush league when they do that after they know u are going to win. A bet should stand if it isn't cancelled before it starts.

**RubberKettle** · 06-18-11, 08:06 PM

I have had 'bad lines' canceled, but never once a game has started.

-115 , opened at -130 and Guatemala now +475

Line getting better both ways.

**pdc** · 06-18-11, 08:07 PM

what do u think guys???? any plays???

de nigris will be in probably castro or juarez out.........hes a great player for this kind of game.......im gonna stay with my original bet but guatemala at that price look like a fun bet

**RubberKettle** · 06-18-11, 08:10 PM

No plays for me just gonna root for Guatemala to pull the upset.

**pellibr** · 06-18-11, 08:12 PM

Value on mexico right now on 1.80????

**twelvejewelz** · 06-18-11, 08:13 PM

i have guatemala at +1 1/2 +105 for the 2h, making me feel like they want us to bet that. no play for me gl

**pdc** · 06-18-11, 08:13 PM

anyone follows mls..........if i win this bet ill be up 7.5x for the day and thinking to make a play in a mls draw.........any advice??

**pdc** · 06-18-11, 08:23 PM

lol huge foul by moreno on the goal but it happens..........game over and no mls plays lol

**FindTheLock** · 06-18-11, 08:44 PM

I laid off the live bets on mexico because some random person sent me a PM claiming it was fixed. I wonder if books know which posters play at their shops and monitor our posts on this site Weird.

**RubberKettle** · 06-18-11, 08:59 PM

LOL @ PM saying this is rigged

Thats ****** up

**FindTheLock** · 06-18-11, 09:03 PM

looks like your under is good my friend. Congrats!! take that money from those bookies.

STRAIGHT BET
[8006] MEXICO u3½+108

250 / 270

**RubberKettle** · 06-19-11, 10:38 AM

Results

Mexico 2 - Guatemala 1

Watched most of the 1st half. Mexico had the ball 90% of the time and Guatemala scored a clinical counter attacking goal involving only one pass and a lobbed shot. Mexico scored early in the 2nd half to crush hope of an upset.

Honduras 1 - Costa Rica 1 (Honduras Advances through penalty shootout)

.5u on 1-1 Exact +525 WIN
.5 on 0-1 Exact +772 LOSS
.5 on 1-0 Exact +580 LOSS

1u on Under 2.5 (-140) WIN

Terrible game to watch IMO. Lots of play acting and cheating in this one. Saborio misses two penalties and that's how Costa Rica lost.

Overall 12-7 (+7.45)

Not going to play these two game today. Lots of action on Jamaica, but I think they get beat 2-0, 2-1 or 3-1. Not going to bet with my heart in this though. The other game is a tossup, if the Panama team that beat the US handily shows up they shouldn't have any problems. El Salvador has not really impressed at all this tournament and only progressed by beating lowly Cuba. I would lean towards under before laying -170 with Panama.

**goblinburner** · 06-19-11, 01:00 PM

i took the jamiaca plus 1 but i am scared of the action people are putting on them but i see jamiaca scoring at least once and i dont see the usa team scoring more then 2 goals

USA odds down immensely from the 1st time they played Panama. Its hard to see anything but a USA v Mexico final.

**Melkiavez** · 06-21-11, 11:26 AM

I have USA -260 total under 2.5 and Mexico -300 total over 3.

**RubberKettle** · 06-22-11, 04:19 PM

Semifinals tonight

USA played well against Jamaica and pretty much dominated the entire game. Jamaica were forced to play with out the ball and eventually lost their shape and their cool. The US is still leaving a lot to be desired and honestly were fortunate on the 1st goal and the red card.

Mexico overcame a one goal deficit to beat El Salvador 2-1 in their quarterfinal matchup. El Salvador scored an early goal totally against the run of play to stun Mexico. Mexico probably has 80% of the ball in the 1st half, but found themselves one nil down at the break. After the restart they quickly equalized and Hernandez winner came soon after.

Tonight the USA look to avenge there group stage loss to Panama. The USA started so slowly and could never recover after they shipped two first half goals. I think we will see a more focused effort tonight from the team and with a place in the final at stake motivation should not be a factor. Panama will be looking to catch lightning in a bottle for the 2nd time.

I'm looking for a two goal US win.

Play on USA -1.5 (+126)

No plays on Mexico v Honduras, but Mexico should have too much tonight.
