Thursday picks (28-16 +13.31)

[gregm]

I usually dont wager this many games in the Europa league, so many results are surprising and you always wonder about motivation for some teams. I really like the field in the europa this year though, a very strong field this year, European soccer is still the greatest in the world and many of these teams are high quality teams.

I dont have any time for writeups this morning but these are the ones I feel most confident about, I like this pick in the Icelandic league as well.

KR Reykjavik -1 -112 risk 1.12

Any particular reason you play all -120 lines?

[gregm]

Pavy made a great call on the draw on spartak moscow.

Lunch, I wager throughout the day and usually the night before but for my thread and record keeping I post the lines widely available at the time I post.

I use 5dimes lines usually for record keeping on my spreadsheet and on this thread unless I am wagering something at the time I am posting. I hate when people post a pick and a line that hasn't existed in hours.

Good luck on the plays gregm! I see some of them are already winners.

Went against Celtic... Biggest sucker bet today the rest of yours look good

[gregm]

Gave a little back today, Bilbao cant score on ten men and they would have dominated trabsonzpor at full strength?

I love this MLS game tonight, DC United havent lost in Chicago since 2006, going 3-0-2 in their last five trips there. It seems like to me all The Fire can do is hold team to draws, they havent won a game in 2 months and they have the most draws in MLS this season at 14 and time is running out if they want to have any chance of making the playoffs.

DC is playing much better football, they are coming off a good win on saturday and it looks like they have a full roster, no injuries which is rare for them this year, and no guys taking off for national teams. DC is actually playing much better on the road , going 3-0-3 in the last 6 games

Both these teams need to win some games if they are going to make the playoffs. I actually like the draw here, DC is excellent on the road, facing a team that hasnt won in 2 months and lets hope we see a 15th draw of the season for the Fire. It wouldnt surprise me to see United take this though.

DC United +.5 -147 risk 2.94

Dc United Pk /+.5 -121 risk 1.21

DC United Pk/+.5 first half -147 risk 1.47

[gregm]

I am going to hedge a little bit on this game, the first half went good but DC's goalie looks like he pulled a hamstring right at the end of the half. The Fire is looking better than I expected. I still like the draw and DC, a little concerned about the goalie situation here though.

chicago pk/ -5 +112 risk 1
