A-League Handicapping 2011/12

[MatI]

Did anyone of you get on Heart +0.5 before it dropped? SFC is a tricky team though. In my eyes they are the definition of inconsistency. With Hearts recent games in mind I had to bet on that line. McFlynn is out, but has anyone information about Nick Carle and his hamstring? He is probably recovered by now if I can't find any headlines

I havent read anything new on Carle yet. I am assuming they will keep mum until game time. So im assuming he is in.

Heart +0.5 for me as well tomorrow. GL guys.

[Aussiecapper101]

Interesting ... . out of curiosity how much is a unit for you>>?<<

$30 action b'roll and usually $100 on serious b'roll but down to $90 now
I withdraw from action roll but try and keep the "serious" one rolling over and over but I have been withdrawing of late..

I always withdraw any substantial amounts from action, so I will be doing that asap!

Fair point, I'm a bit out of the loop with the A-League the last few days. Been very busy! I'll have to read up tomorrow and hopefully we can get a good idea by gametime of what the lineups may look like

Cheers

[Aussiecapper101]

Oh and the heart are looking good of late, the players are really making names for themselves, it could be a prosperous future for them if they keep up this consistent form!

[gotov]

Nick Carle was listed doubtfull on foxsport news, but that was yesterday.

[Aussiecapper101]

Boys let's see if we can get updated lineups asap

[MatI]

I found this.. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/a-league...228-1pcx0.html

"Meanwhile, Bridge is vying with Terry Antonis to replace McFlynn, with playmaker Nick Carle to be given at least another week to recover from his hamstring injury. The Sky Blues have a tough schedule of seven games in the next 29 days, and the recent progress of players such as Mitchell Mallia and Juho Makela has given coach Vitezslav Lavicka more options at the selection table."

I would consider this reliable considering its Sydney Morning Herald and they seem to have direct quotes from the team. Sydney will have a strong side though either way IMO.

[Puda]

My plays for tonight.

Heart ML
Heart +0.5

Heart in great form, home and away and with full strength squad should knock off Sydney... I highly doubt Carle will play, which is a big factor... expecting 1-2, 1-3 sort of result, well hopefully.

Gl Amigos.

[DarkNite]

I take Heart ML too.
Hope I can watch it here:

That's enough for me to believe Carle is definitely out! Sydney have good depth in their list but McFlynn being out may hurt as I see him as the hard worker of the group, kind of like Kuyt for Liverpool for rg.

Carle has been named in the match day squad... whether he'll play is another thing.

Shiit that makes it tough again lol. I think wether he plays or not we are not going to see him at 100% thru lack of confidence that it may go again or purely cos he's rushed the prep.. No one is going to want to pick up his slack for Sydney FC if he did play so I don't think we'll see him

They won't risk him this week I dont think. 3 games in 9 days or something like that... better getting him 100% for the next 2.

[Aussiecapper101]

As we approach this game, the question is 'how much does home advantage stand for against an "in-form" team..
Hmmm

[DarkNite]

Thanks for the points, Aussie!

[FindTheLock]

this game looks like a toss up. I don't usually like to play draws, but this game might be a good time to try one out.

[southpaw74]

Do you think playing the draw in both matches is a good idea since there aren't any clear cut favorites in either match? They are both over +200 so just one draw makes it profitable. I don't normally play draws but thought this might be a decent spot.

Heart should be clear cut favs.

Sydney FC let Adelaide (worst team in the league) draw 2-2 with them last week.

Melbourne Heart have gone 6-1 in their last 7 matches. Heart have a largely unchanged line-up while a couple of main starters will most likely be missing for Sydney. Heart also have a pretty good record vs Sydney, never losing to them in their previous 4 match-ups. But that is all the match-ups they have against each other.

[CollegePro]

i am scared the fact that everyon here like heart...

[FindTheLock]

3 out of the 4 matches ended in draws

[southpaw74]

Thanks!

OFFICIAL A-LEAGUE PLAY:

Melbourne Heart Pk and +0.5 +100 (1.5 units) pinnacle

GL all!

[MatI]

Let's get it boys.

[MatI]

3 out of the 4 matches ended in draws

Yep, and a Draw is a big possibility. Both have drawn 3 out of their last 10 matches.

But this Heart is much better than any previously faced by Sydney FC. This will be a huge challenge for them I think. Hence why most alot like the Heart 0.0/ +0.5, and why I think it is pretty good value.

[showtiime]

on heart too, only on the handicap though.

[AllTimeHigh]

There could be a possibility to watch the games on a EU bookie like bet365 if you run a proxy.

[Aussiecapper101]

What do u reckon of the game boys? It seems we're all riding Melb Heart to get a result here.. The game has under written all over it

[MatI]

I reckon Melb 1-0!
