I took wolfsburg small. I couldn't pass up getting +248 on the home team.

you should have followed the german press. even the players want their coach to get sacked. he is like a gambler - he is addicted to buying and selling players. it is laughable. he nearly ruined schalke 04 and now he tries to do the same with wolfsburg. he fined helmes (10.000 Euro) because he thinks he does not work hard enough when he plays etc etc etc. the whole team got upset.

I only took wolfsburg as a value play for a very small amount. I am not too worried about it, I am just waiting for the american football season to kick off in an hour. +248 was too good of a number not to throw a small amount on it. Anything is possible in this sport. All it takes is a red card and the game is turned on it's head.

have a look at the line-up:
Hinz (just 12 Bundesliga matches since 2008)
Hasebe
Madlung (29 yrs)
Kyrgiakos (bought by Wolfsburg this season)
Schäfer
Träsch (bought by Wolfsburg this season)
Josue (32 yrs old)
Ochs (bought by Wolfsburg this season)
Mandzukic
Jönsson (bought by Wolfsburg this season)
Lakic (bought by Wolfsburg this season)

Their youngest player today is their inexprienced goalie and even he is 24 yrs old. 5 players in their line-up have just been bought. They have no teamspirit - nothing. Most of their players are over 27 - except for 2 or 3. They are far too old.

when betting sometimes you just have to take the value. It isn't always going to work out using logic or the casino would be bankrupt.

in this game you could hedge the draw with wolfsburg winning by splitting a bet in half and placing half on wolfsburg +248 and half on the draw +220 and you have a double chance to win. To bet on shalke in this game is going against logic actually, because you narrow your outcomes to shalke winning on the road in a place they haven't won in 8 years, or you risk laying some juice on them a PK line which a draw will push. Over was juiced too heavily or I would have played that because it was the obvious play in this game when you researched the previous scores of these 2 teams. O2.5 was juiced -150 or something crazy like that.

That piece of information is very useful, but I guess today isn't the day.

Thanks for sharing.
