yeah , barcelona reserves, they play attacking football though, it's all those young talents that barca has, like jonathan dos santos , tello, so on ...

Bullet Kays · 02-03-12, 02:26 PM

Awesome, good luck on both man...

The 2nd league is sort of like the d-league of the main team. The top couple teams each year get to join the main league the following year. I think the bottom few finishers from the main league have to play in the 2nd league the next year.

Wondering if it's weather related..anyone in that area?

southpaw74 · 02-03-12, 02:42 PM

Wow...bet islands was only offering over 2.75 at -115. Now it's letting me take -2.5 at -123. That's significant!

inn_keeper · 02-03-12, 02:43 PM

I'm still seeing the over at -150.. Bullet what did you lock this in at?

Bullet Kays · 02-03-12, 02:47 PM

I locked it in at -137 earlier..I saw -147 about an hour ago, then down to -117, now it's around -120/-125..Looks to be clear weather, maybe a bunch of bettors pounded the under getting good odds

allstarsteven123 · 02-03-12, 02:59 PM

i took the under in that match

Bullet Kays · 02-03-12, 03:06 PM

Good luck

bkeith12 · 02-03-12, 03:33 PM

Neither team wants to score

bkeith12 · 02-03-12, 03:47 PM

0-0 Half. This one seems Dead. Ive watched the game, and they look like a bunch of overpassing high schoolers.

southpaw74 · 02-03-12, 03:55 PM

This is why I don't understand why people like soccer so much around the world. you can play an entire game and accomplish nothing. So many games teams don't even try to score. It's sad and ugly.

0-0 gets both teams 1 point

That's another problem with the sport...Get rewarded for doing nothing. They could take a nap and get the same result. I understand I would probably have more of an appreciation for it if I wasn't American but it gets frustrating. Unless I'm betting the under of course

Bullet Kays · 02-03-12, 04:15 PM

I wouldn't say it's dead quite yet

bkeith12 · 02-03-12, 04:15 PM

hahahahah were are the guys shooting at? cus its not the goal.

Phillth · 02-03-12, 04:17 PM

shutting out the opposing team is hardly doing nothing.

Both teams like I said are way down in the standings, so how does the 1 point draw help either one?

Bullet Kays · 02-03-12, 04:21 PM

I want to know what caused all that movement right before the game

bkeith12 · 02-03-12, 04:25 PM

Well, I learned my lesson on betting soccer.

Bullet Kays · 02-03-12, 04:30 PM

Yea this one is very ugly

bkeith12 · 02-03-12, 04:35 PM

wow, i got lucky Bullet. Never confirmed my bet

Unfortunately most Americans are just ignorant to the talents of top professional soccer players. I am an American and it hurts to say it but most Americans are fat, lazy, spoiled and somewhat ignorant. I could list a multitude of incredible feats that a soccer player does in a 0-0 game. Take the example of a 40 yard cross to a teammates head in soccer. If the teammate does not score on the header the average American does not see the true beauty and difficulty in the play. The soccer fan sees a 40 yard cross on target and relishes in the talent it takes to kick a soccer ball 40yards with precision. In a 0-0 game there might be 20+ plays that are a thing of beauty.

This is not meant to be a personal attack of you as I understand if you do not like the sport. It is not my job to convince you to enjoy the sport. Just thought I would throw out my two cents as to why Americans just do not get it.

southpaw74 · 02-03-12, 05:49 PM

I don't take it personally and realize you are just making a point. I also can understand they are talented. I'm quite good at many sports so I do appreciate the ability to be a good athlete. They are very good athletes...It's just hard without seeing results like goals. It doesn't have anything to do with Americans being fat or lazy though. We are more predisposed to action instead of running around I suppose. I also realize I may look at it differently if I grew up overseas with soccer as more of an influence than other sports. Just like anything I think defense without offense or vice versa is a loser. That's why I dislike 0-0 games.

BigTimeWinner · 02-03-12, 06:26 PM

this was a public bet, so of course our 'dear' gambling sites will take action ... thanks to them , bet lost

BigDofBA · 02-03-12, 09:27 PM

I had this over as well.

I used to hate soccer but it can actually be pretty exciting to bet on. Well, except for that one time the team I bet on blew a 2-0 lead in the extra time and the game finished 2-2.
