    Thursday's [12/22] Ninja Plays
    Go Ninjas, Go Ninjas go.

    [UAE UFL] Al Sharjah-Dubai Over 3 [-124]
    Getting in some early play here in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai clings to the bottom of the table and have scored and conceded in each of their three road matches. Two of the three have hit three goal totals. Overall, Dubai have played five of seven league matches to three goal totals. Al Sharjah have scored seven and conceded seven in three home matches. Two of those three have hit four goals or better. Five of their seven matches have also hit for at least three goals.

    [England Premier] Tottenham PK [+105]
    Spurs may have some injuries issues with Bale, King & Defoe in doubt today, but not yet entirely ruled out. Sounds like Bale or Defoe may be available. Only Lennon is for sure out with his hamstring injury. Even so, Spurs actually have some good depth this season to mix and match if needed. Tough to go against Spurs at least getting a share of the spoils today at home where they have won six straight after their opening match loss to Manchester City at home. Chelsea of course are capable of great things on any day, but showed in their last road match with Wigan the nagging inconsistency of this squad in a 1-1 draw. Couple that with their lack of success at White Hart Lane in recent years - five straight EPL matches @ Spurs - without a win and I think Tottenham is a shot today here to at worst return your money with a draw. The draw seems a popular choice today as I read a lot of information today and could very well be the final result, but I'm not going to go against the home side potentially getting the W here, especially in lieu of seeing Peter Cech's antics every week in goal where the routine becomes adventurous.

    [Spain Copa Del Rey] Barcelona-Hospitalet Under 4 [+114]
    Barcelona have little work to do to advance to the next round of the Copa del Rey as they worked a 1-0 win on the road in the 1st leg. That should allow Guardiola to rest many 1st teamers again here. That is a needed break for the likes of Messi who played a heavy schedule with the recent FIFA Club World Cup competition. Villa is obviously out with the broken leg and while Barca will have to field at least seven regulars by rule, this will be an obviously less potent side. Barca is still the obvious choice to win today, but I'm not sure this will be an epic beating that we've seen at Camp Nou against lesser sides with the noted absentees today. I don't think anyone is expecting the Segunda B side to score, so if Barca keeps a clean sheet today, I think this match is at worst a push on the four goal total if the B-side can play as hard as they did in the 1st leg. Could be possible to see a split 4.5/4 total set even here, but I'm guessing books aren't going to budge much off this four goal total especially after the lineups come out.

    Another brilliant scoreless half for the UAE match. This league is very 2nd half friendly toward goals, but I hate being in this position constantly. I summon thee Ninja Magic ... come hither.

          Not sure Easy. Copa del Rey is the only competition I can remember reading about this rule. Do not recall it for the FA competition in England or Coppa in Italy ... I see the split line now at 4.5/4 for -112. Going for that instead, Will pay the little extra to get a shot at winning something if the total falls on four.

                I like the Tottenham pick as I think both teams will settle and be happy with a draw so the +money is a safe pick.

                        Hopefully they will just sit on that 2nd half, I had it in a parlay with all others won so may have to hedge with final score 5-0 or something.

                          The penalty to get the 1st goal is probably going to be the one that hurts this the most. Two goals would have been okay, but three is a killer. It's pretty much going to be whatever Barca decides the final to be. If they want 6-0, they can make it so. Hopefully they show some mercy.

                                With the way today has gone, I'm expecting Fernando Torres to score a goal for Chelsea to fukk that up too. I'll take 100 pts from anyone who wants to give it if that comes true.

                                      At least Tottenham settled for a draw and a refund. That's probably it for me until next week. Heavy travel schedule the next few days, so I won't be around very much. Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah and all that other stuff to ya!
