A-League Handicapping 2011/12

[Boxing Champ]

Melbourne Heart - Sydney FC

Guys..can someone break down this game..please...
Someone that's familiar with'em and watches them play on regular basis..
i'm thinking Over 2.25 is the play...
what do you think????
Thanks

[Boxing Champ]

I don't remember seeing more pathetic soccer than between these two teams....

[Aussiecapper101]

Sydney FC got the late goal and saved my ass at least for a push/void

So just quickly I think my amended records would be: Overall down 1 unit, this week up 4 units with 1 x 3 unit play pending that I will bump again in a minute. The Sydney FC game was very boring as 'boxing champ' said except for the last 10 minutes or so. I think Sydney should have scored in the first half but the finishing was POOR! They did deserve the draw in the end though so fair result IMO.

Anyway good luck guys with any plays your pounding tonight!

Cheers

welcome to the A-League, where most matches are like that

To be fair, they're not. Melbourne Heart are a stinker team, they can't play anything inspired at all.

Today wasn't a great exhibition for the A-League, the earlier game was not much better.

[EaglesPhan36]

So you think goals tonight? You're expecting Melbourne to finally get some? Seems a tough bet.

I agree I predict 2-0 to the Phoenix, good luck on your bet though

[EaglesPhan36]

I'll side with the guy here. Kewell hasn't found his ground yet for the Victory from what I read, but they're putting him back into a more natural position I think today. Maybe it makes a difference. Just fun money here and something to watch.

[EaglesPhan36]

One goal in the 1st half, but could have been a handful. Loads of scoring opps.

[Boxing Champ]

What about ------Gold Coast vs New castle Jets?????
Any leans???

[EaglesPhan36]

There's the over. Nice pick. Thanks mate.

[Puda]

1-2 victory got robbed a goal... clearly onside.. linesmen below par.

I bet Gold Coast.

[BugsBunnyAUS]

Bit late but I took Newcastle pk (draw no bet). lots of value there at $2.62. although they are a goal down for now

[escou]

[Aussiecapper101]

We can always hope, it's tough out there buddy

[Aussiecapper101]

My pleasure mate, u jumped in with perfect timing! I really liked this play but I had to just chill cos as u know handicapping can throw egg all over our faces if we get carried away! I've followed your threads before too and remember vaguely them being very valuable to me so keep up the good work. And I'll try back this up next week aye

Cheers

[Aussiecapper101]

I just seen on an Aussie book brisbane roar at +107 against victory this week.FYI

I'm assuming maybe pk and -0.5?

[Aussiecapper101]

Actually scratch that, it will obviously be -0.5

[fertdmond]

I wouldnt. victory will be pumped and a lot of pressure off their backs with the win in wellington. I like melb vic or draw.

[Ace_of_Spades]

If the A-League didn't have Brisbane, this league would be one shitt league. Berisha seems like one helluva pickup and i seriously cannot wait till the ACL comes around next season.

true dat, they've definately given the A-league the kick they need

dude I'm not gonna be drinking that Melb victory kool-aid that quick, they have yet to show me anything to get me excited and yes the odds look good but they (bookies) arent throwing them out at +240 or whatever for no reason!! Roar have every right and more to be favourites in this game.

I am not a roar supporter and nor does this doesnt mean I'll be playing them this week either! I am a Perth glory supporter if anything

however you are very welcome to your opinion on this game this is just the angle I'm looking from..

Cheers

**WEEK 4 EARLY 5 UNIT PLAY** BRISBANE ROAR -0.5 and 1 -108 (**5*UNITS**) pinnacle Did the bookies not learn their lesson from last week? Central coast are in some real bad form yes but Adelaide aren't too far behind them!! Adelaide have to travel and their goalkeeper is over rated amongst other things.. Brisbane plan to put on a party for their fans! For me this is as big as it gets ~ 5 units Follow, fade or watch its up to you.. My form the last 2 weeks has been poor but if your fading keep it to yourself!! Good luck I like this play

**WEEK 4 EARLY 5 UNIT PLAY** BRISBANE ROAR -0.5 and 1 -108 (**5*UNITS**) pinnacle ADDING: CENTRAL COAST VS PERTH GLORY DRAW (RISKING 1 UNIT TO WIN 2.5) pinnacle SYDNEY FC PK -111 (2.5 UNITS) pinnacle WELLINGTON PHOENIX VS MELBOURNE VICTORY OVER 2 (bought down -130) (3 UNITS) pinnacle GFL

This week went +7 units, should make my overall +2 units now. Still work to do to keep head nicely above water. I will do a weekly record thing first chance I get but this should say it all for now.

quite true, may end up like the MLS!

[Ace_of_Spades]

Thank god Brisbane beat Sydney, cos they came to play the worst football ever. Negative defensive crap.

[Aussiecapper101]

I'm just waiting to see the prices of buying a line or 2 down and then I'll post up boys

Sure

Top 6

WEEK 1
Match A: 1 v 2 (Home and Away Leg 1)
Match B: 3 v 6 (loser eliminated)
Match C: 4 v 5 (loser eliminated)

WEEK 2
Match D: 1 v 2 (Home and Away Leg 2)
Match E: Winner of Match B vs Winner of Match C (Held at the home ground of whichever team finished higher at the end of the regular season)

WEEK 3
Match F: Loser of 1 v 2 (aggregate over 2 legs) vs Winner of Match E (Held at home ground of Loser of Match A)

WEEK 4
Match G: Winner of 1 v 2 (aggregate over 2 legs) vs Winner of Match F

Obviously the winner of Match G is the Champion
