Matty's Soccer Tips 2012

[Optional]

**** this race!

[MatI]

my thoughts exactly. good race, not so good for our bets. fuuuuuk.

[Optional]

LOL... and your Heikki bet comes back!

[Optional]

Maldonado does it again!

And Webber looks like another 4th somehow. LOL

[Optional]

Didn't even win the margin bet.

Bloody Petrov beats Kovi by 1.

But not bad for a Valencia race I guess.

[MatI]

Payback for Maldonado on Lewis. Pastor's fault, but Lewis should have thought about the big picture, no need to race hard and risk throwing away so many points.

Crazy finish.

Petrov ended up getting Heikki on fresher tyres.

[MatI]

Disaster for us. Great for Valencia I guess.

[Optional]

is this the first time we have had 3 world champs on the podium this year?

[MatI]

is this the first time we have had 3 world champs on the podium this year?

Nah, Melbourne was Button, Seb, Lewis.

[Optional]

yeah I thought about it afterward :\

Oh well, Marcos can still make it a huge day.

Bummer it clashes with the Italy/England match though! Thinking I might pull trigger on England PK... more on hope than knowledge though. What are you on?

[MatI]

Still thinking about Italy/England game. Not sure if its worth pulling the trigger but i am leaning England.

[Avala7ch3]

If England vs Italy goes to Extra Time, we will refund all losing Correct Score, First Goalscorer and HT/FT Fixed Odds bets on that match (up to £50).

sounds good...

[MatI]

Sounds luck all sucker bets in my opinion.

I was soooo lucky this weekend. None of my strong picks seemed to come off either, I went at least triple my normal max bets in both NASCAR races and both my picks lost, but somehow I ended up almost 15 units ahead?! My best result on the cars for ages. Thankgod for the longshot backups.

[MatI]

Great choice on Bowyer Opti. That was a great hit. I have never been a big believer in the long shots, ive always found it too hard to predict which one will come through, Bowyer did a great job, it was really disappointing to see Ambrose struggle so much. That F1 race still hurts, so many bad beats...

MLS, Montreal Impact v Toronto FC, Over 2.5 @ 1.66 - risking 1.5u

I like that pick, I'm on it. Toronto seems to have found an attack under Paul Mariner but they have no clue how to play with a lead (because having a lead is a new experience for them). Should be interesting.

[MatI]

Yep, my thoughts exactly, Toronto look a lot better up forward these days, and have found the net no problems. Their defence is still swiss cheese and Montreal have been ruthless in front of goal lately which made it easier to lay the chalk on this. A couple good chances already but nothing in yet. Hopefully we don't have to sweat this one out...

MotoGP, TT Assen Winner - Jorge Lorenzo @ 2.00 - 1u

The motogp has sort of snuck up on me this weekend with the race on Saturday this weekend, Lorenzo has been in dominant form and i'll take him until his purple run ends. Grabbing this now as the first practice session is starting in a couple of hours.

[MatI]

K-League, Sangju Sangmu v FC Seoul
FC Seoul -1 @ 1.725 - risking 1u

One of of the bottom teams against one of the top teams tonight. Sangju have a terrible record against Seoul, with H2H at 5-0 in Seoul's favour going back to 2010. This might have something to do with many of Sangju's players being reserve players for FC Seoul. Many of those players are not playing for Sangju tonight and I expect a strong win here for FC Seoul.

I parlayed him for pole and win @ $6.00 and straight for win $2.08

[MatI]

good idea with the parlay, i should have done that. Might go bigger depending on qual results tonight.

Lorenzo looked great in practice, but Pedrosa came out of nowhere at the end. Hopefully Lorenzo has something in reserve.
