BigBurk's soccer thread

[BigBurk]

So, after a while without betting soccer I've been going back and forth whether to start a new thread right now. I've decided not to only focus on the Dutch soccer anymore since I felt I was playing matches just to put out enough bets weekly. With that I even started chasing after some losses.. Needed a small break and lately the results are far better since I play a wide variety of leagues.

This thread will mostly consist of matches in the Dutch, English, German, Spanish and Italian leagues. Plus the CL and EL ofcourse.

Furthermore, starting from June, the European Championship is something I am really excited about, so expect multiple plays on it.

Good luck to all!

Thanks Shredder. Let's start of tonight with the NEC play.

[BigBurk]

Tuesday:

NEC Nijmegen (HOL-E) ML -115 vs Excelsior (HOL-E) (1x)

Winner on the NEC play, 0-2 victory never in danger.

YTD 1-0 = +1.0x

Wednesday:

Real Madrid (ESP-P) -½,-1 -116 vs Atletico Madrid (ESP-P) (1x)

[BigBurk]

Manchester City HT / Manchester City FT (ENG-P) -123 vs West Bromwich (ENG-P) (1x)

Wednesday:

Real Madrid (ESP-P) -½,-1 -116 vs Atletico Madrid (ESP-P) (1x)

Manchester City HT / Manchester City FT (ENG-P) -123 vs West Bromwich (ENG-P) (1x)

Valencia (ESP-P) -1,-1½ +116 vs Rayo Vallecano (ESP-P) (1x)

Even with Valencia struggling lately I expect a 2 goal margin win of them.

Bol tonight Burk! You got any thoughts on Roda - Feyenoord tonight? I am heavily leaning towards Feyenoord.

Tough call... As an Ajax fan I hope Roda JC takes at least one point against them. But in all honesty, Feyenoord should be able to take this one.

Not certain enough though to make it a play myself.

[Shredder]

Ok thanks for the input!

[BigBurk]

Sitting back and watching AZ - Twente in 5 mins. Hoping for a draw on this one!

You got what you wished for (2-2) and on top of that a red card for Heerenveen within 7 minutes and Ajax leading by 1. Must be good to be Ajax fan atm ;p

[BigBurk]

This night is turning into one better than I could ever imagine! AZ and Twente draw, PSV 2-0 down at RKC and Ajax leading 0-2 after 20 mins against a 10 man Heerenveen squad. Honestly, if I lose all my bets tonight I could not care less!

[BigBurk]

Both the Valencia and Man City plays are winners, with the Real Madrid play still pending. Profit no matter the outcome of the last one.

[Shredder]

Nice results, gratz on making a winning day. Real ahead by 1 pretty early as well, hope you make the sweep!

[BigBurk]

Real Madrid (ESP-P) -½,-1 -116 vs Atletico Madrid (ESP-P) (1x)

Manchester City HT / Manchester City FT (ENG-P) -123 vs West Bromwich (ENG-P) (1x)

Valencia (ESP-P) -1,-1½ +116 vs Rayo Vallecano (ESP-P) (1x)

3-0 on the night, +3.16x

YTD 4-0 = +4.16x

[BigBurk]

Probably no plays today, not really liking the card. Too much doubt still on De Graafschap vs Utrecht.

[Shredder]

How you feel about Mallorca?

[BigBurk]

Difficult to say... Racing Santander is so bad, even at home, that you would say that Mallorca pk is worth a shot. I just can not see Mallorca losing this one, but it is not like they have been performing very well away from home.

If the line would have been Mallorca -0.5 I'd say no, but this should be a push minimally.

[BigBurk]

Thursday:

Vitesse (HOL-E) / VVV Venlo (HOL-E) over 2.5 -133 (1x)

A bit more juice than I would normally play on a total but I have a strong feeling a minimum of 3 goals should be scored tonight.

[Shredder]

Agree on the over, looked at it aswell but didn't like the line too much. I still think i'll go for Mallorca straight up, but will wait a bit to try and get some more info.

Anyway gl tonight!

[BigBurk]

Thanks Shredder, BOL to you too tonight!

[BigBurk]

Thursday:

Vitesse (HOL-E) / VVV Venlo (HOL-E) over 2.5 -133 (1x)

1-0 tonight, adding a unit to the bankroll.

YTD 5-0 = +5.16x

[BigBurk]

Friday:

VfB Stuttgart (GER-1) ML -121 vs Werder Bremen (GER-1) (1x)

[Shredder]

Friday:

VfB Stuttgart (GER-1) ML -121 vs Werder Bremen (GER-1) (1x)

Like your pick but think I'm gonna wait 15 minutes after the start to make a live bet if it's still 0-0 since my line is -130. With my luck it's probably 2-0 by then, good luck!

[BigBurk]

Hehe well I'm oke with the a scoreless match after 15 mins, as long as Stuttgart takes the win!

A play that already caught my eye for this weekend is Heracles ML vs RKC at -117. Thinking of locking this one in early as I expect the books to be juicing it more the next days.

Any thoughts on this one?

[Shredder]

Agree. Though they both still have European soccer changes (RKC being in better spot), this is pretty much a must win for Heracles and I think the fake grass at home advantage will give them the edge. Also I think they are very motivated cause they want to reward all those people going all the way to the Cup Final for nothing.They playing great soccer too from time to time.

Doubt I will go for it myself since I hardly play favorites straight up and I don't see them winning big, but I think you've got a winner.

Thoughts on betting stutt the first half?? +130

[BigBurk]

Not sure.. I don't really bet much first halfs, only on heavy favs from time to time to get a better number.

BOL on whatever you decide!

[cboogie]

Thanks u too

[cboogie]

Played the first half. Awesome. Came back from the bathroom... goal!

[BigBurk]

Yeah it's looking good cboog!

[Shredder]

Yay on another winner, nice streak you got going on! I ofcourse forgot to check in when the stuttgart game started but meh, have been lucky enough with that mistake on the under UKR match. Bol the rest of the weekend!

[BigBurk]

Friday:

VfB Stuttgart (GER-1) ML -121 vs Werder Bremen (GER-1) (1x)

Another winner to continue the streak. Let's hope this nice run can be continued this weekend. The goal is to be hitting at least 55% long term, so this start is very welcome!

YTD 6-0 = +6.16x
