A-League Handicapping 2011/12

[MatI]

Pathetic.

Brisbane controlled that game.

They may not have won but if the shitty linesman actually knew what an offside call actually was it would have been 1-1 just after half time and then Jets wouldn't not have been able to just park the bus for the last 30mins.

FML.

Agree. Had Roar -0.5 2H.

Any suggestions for today?

Have van Dijk to score @ 2.62 and leaning to Glory +0.5.

[MatI]

Back for more punishment!! Yeah I like Glory +0.5 and Wellington ML.

So...take the opposite??

[ultrasouth]

Man i continue to get destroyed in the a-league was hoping to tail you MatI but you dont sound to confident lol Might play the over in the phoenix/heart game so expect unders lol

[MatI]

No way I am confident about any play in A-League right now. Teams are too close and games too unpredictable, especially with amateur referees! The last couple of weeks have been very up and down.

I am fairly confident about a Wellington win, they are 5-1 at home in their last 6, only losing to a very in-form Perth Glory.

Both teams have everything to play for here, so im expecting a big fight from both, but Wellington's home ground has traditionally been a fortress for them, and I was reading ticket sales have been strong this week, so should have lots of local support for this one. Also, I have been successful fading Heart when Fred is out of the line-up, so I will continue to fade them in this spot and hope the trend continues.

Wellington to WIN @ 2.20 - 1u

lol if I take the opposite, I'm wondering what would be the other opposite option

[MatI]

lol, good point.

Heart AH & Adelaide AH if i was to fade myself!

[ultrasouth]

3-1 phoenix now 25mins to go

[MatI]

3-1 phoenix now 25mins to go

Cash it. Well done on the over too mate.

[Sol]

Hey guys, new around here, nice to see a few Aussies around. Glad i didn't bet the early game as i was leaning Heart . Took a chance on Perth @ 3.25 wasn't looking good early, Djite missed a sitter and Adelaide had all the play, hoping Perth can hold on to their lead in the second half.

Welcome Sol.

And nice hit on the Glory win!

I was keen on playing this as well but just played my lean (Glory +0.5). I just couldn't pull the trigger on the ML with the way my A-League plays have been so up and down lately.

Adelaide actually played pretty well, especially 1st half, but just couldn't convert and Glory are playing with so much confidence at the moment. They seem to just look at the ball and it will be in the back of the net.

Good day.

Time to cap overseas games...

Also, lots of juice, so might parlay
AC Milan & Celtic

[Puda]

nice work fellas, was in a cbf mood with the a league...

[MatI]

nice work fellas, was in a cbf mood with the a league...

How you thinking how boys will go tomorrow night?

They are playing down in Tassie, so neutral ground, prob more support for MV if anything?

I don't think I can lay anything on Victory win, but might jump on the Over 2.5. Already @ 1.77, but...GC have been pretty solid in defence so maybe not...

[gotov]

Been thinking about it... Mite wait for lineup first
I think Victory will have one eye on the derby this wkend
Mati u know if any players have left for int. duty not sure if it's olyroos ?

[MatI]

i'm not aware of any from either side recruited for Aus duty.

EDIT - actually, just doing a check on the Olyroos squad, Cernak & Foschini for MV have been selected. Bit confusing that, because everything I have read so far says they are going to be playing tomorrow. Maybe they are heading out after tomorrows game?

Terry Antonis (Sydney FC), Aziz Behich (Melbourne Heart), Mark Birighitti (Gk - Adelaide United), Oliver Bozanic (Central Coast Mariners), Kerem Bulut (Fkmlada Boleslav, Czech Republic), Isaka Cernak (Melbourne Victory), Mate Dugandzic (Melbourne Heart), Diogo Ferreira (Melbourne Victory), Matthew Foschini (Melbourne Victory), Antony Golec (Adelaide United), Jason Hoffman (Melbourne Heart), Matthew Jurman (Brisbane Roar), Ben Kantarovski (Newcastle Jets), Daniel Mullen (Adelaide United), Mitch Nichols (Brisbane Roar), Dimitrios Petratos (Sydney Fc), Sebastian Ryall, (Sydney FC), Mathew Ryan (Gk - Central Coast Mariners), Adam Taggart (Perth Glory), Rocky Visconte (Brisbane Roar).
Stand By Players: Mustafa Amini (Central Coast Mariners), Bernie Ibini (Central Coast Mariners).

Thanks Mati

epl tonight?? you playing>>?<

[MatI]

epl tonight?? you playing>>?<

will report back...

[MatI]

Sorry for late posting, been a busy night and only finalising my plays now.

Swansea +0.5 @ 1.95
Tottenham WIN / ManUtd WIN @ 1.62
Tottenham WIN / Gabon +0.5 @ 1.61

3 plays tonight.

Swansea are a beast at home, only conceding 6 goals all year in EPL. Chelsea's Drogba still away on African Cup duty as well as other regular starters off due to injury. I see a draw on the cards.

I don't like any of the handicaps on Tottenham or ManUtd, so have stuck with the ML and parlayed. I think it's safer that way.

I do think Tottenham will have a good game and prob win by a good margin but i'm not keen on taking the chance. ManUtd i'm not so confident about, lots of injuries but they should still prevail, but only just in a tight game. Stoke have been playing well and not conceding many goals either.

I have thrown Gabon in another Parlay with Tottenham. They are not playing for much except top spot and an easier schedule for the next round. Gabon have been the stronger side in this group and Tunisian players have not only been struggling with the humidity but many will be rested due to either injury, fatigue or protection from more yellow cards. Gabon to WIN on home turf, but i will take the AH because all they need is a draw to secure top spot in the group.

[Sol]

With you on Swansea Also have a play on Wolves with Gerrard out, not too optimistic though

MatI mate you need to post your picks on other leagues somewhere It would really help me. Last time I think you had real sociedad home win and they convincingly won vs gijon, but I missed the bet just because you posted it here, as I noticed it only after the match was over.

Thanks and looking forward to your bets tomorrow !

[Sol]

Swansea Good stuff MatI

[MatI]

For tonight,
Melbourne Victory to WIN @ 2.20 - 0.5u

Starts in 10, sorry for late post. I'm not crazy about this game, but taking MV at good odds. Neutral ground so no advantage to Gold Coast, if anything, i see a pro-MV crowd. Victory will be keen for 3 points, otherwise it will be very hard for them to make top 6. Looking at formation and squad, i see MV trying to shut GC down and get Harry to feed to Archie and Solarzano.

Again, take with a grain of salt as Victory are my team, only half a unit on it as well, but they have always played well against GC and I think they get it done tonight.

[MatI]

Thanks fellas!

And BTW, it might be an idea to start a thread and clear some of the clutter out of here. I am no expert by any means but happy to share my thoughts. I have usually just posted in here to share with the other boys. It all started I think when we all had too much spare time over xmas break and not enough footy to cap!

[ultrasouth]

I agree you should have your own thread Mat your picks are solid

[Puda]

victory should win. gl matt

[FindTheLock]

I took a few weeks off from betting this league, but I would have gone down with the ship in the 93rd minute if I took this game too. I can't believe how incredibly unbelievable the A league games are. It's like opposite day every game in this league down under.

[MatI]

Victory didnt deserve the win. The equaliser was coming for the last 25 minutes. Covic was only person keeping them in the game.

Fukn pissed with MV.

[Puda]

epl action/

[MatI]

yep, will get back to you at decent hour this time!

you got anything layed down yet?
