Total corners 10-12 +200
Total corners over 12½ +170

Portugal (UEFA Euro) -½ -138

Juice too high on the over 9.5, Portugal averaging 8 per game in group play, Czech's 5. Get 'er dun!

BigBurk · 06-21-12, 02:08 PM

Corners going nice until now!

swordsandtequila · 06-21-12, 02:45 PM

Love it when they cash early! Now a Portugal goal makes it all good!

BigBurk · 06-21-12, 03:20 PM

Portugal isn't able to finish them.. I fear the worst.

BigBurk · 06-21-12, 03:22 PM

I love it when bitching helps us out.

Monster night for you swords!!!

BigBurk · 06-21-12, 03:30 PM

I'll settle for +3x tonight.

swordsandtequila · 06-21-12, 03:49 PM

Went conservative, had same amount on 10-12 as over 12½ to guarantee profit. Was gonna double up on the over but started having Russian flashbacks! No reason to get greedy.

BigBurk · 06-21-12, 04:06 PM

Grinding, all day everyday!

BigBurk · 06-22-12, 09:03 AM

Is Low really playing Klose as striker tonight for Germany now that we have taken Gomez as topscorer?!

BigBurk · 06-22-12, 09:08 AM

Germany HT / FT -119 vs. Greece (1x)

silvap · 06-22-12, 09:10 AM

lol yeah, looks like he is going to do just that.

Somebody posted that earlier somewhere in the forum. Almost pulled the trigger on Gomez, couldn't find any info about lineups (didn't have time really). Post something if you find out. I'm rolling with Germany -1.5 -104, plus my corner prop (posted in EP's Euro thread). Good luck today Burk!

silvap · 06-22-12, 09:19 AM

Germany XI vs. Greece: Neuer - Boateng, Hummels, Badstuber, Lahm - Khedira, Schweinsteiger - Reus, Özil, Schürrle - Klose (via BILD)

found that on twitter, German newspaper BILD is saying that will be the starting 11, Gomez not injured, just tactical decision (podolksy also out of starting lineup)

BigBurk · 06-22-12, 11:14 AM

Let's say Gomez and Ronaldo tie for topscorer at 4 goals each, will we win the bet or push?

Good luck to you both with the plays tonight! Im rooting for a 2-0 win (a goal in each half) with Gomez scoring the late 2-0 as sub

silvap · 06-22-12, 11:22 AM

Hehe, i'd take take score tonight, have germany -1,-1.5 and germany to win with cleen sheet, so 2-0 works wonders for me

as for the goalscorer bet, was actually wondering about that myself, really not sure how they'd grade a tie to topscorer, but im affraid they'll consider it a push...

BigBurk · 06-22-12, 03:46 PM

Well, the ht/ft bet hit, so +1x tonight.

Too bad you didnt hit your clean sheet bet silvap, but at least the spread hit!

silvap · 06-22-12, 03:52 PM

Ended up taking germany ml close to kick-off as well so all in all, profitable game for me, that's all one can ask really. Glad to see you hit your half time full time my friend! On to the next one

swordsandtequila · 06-22-12, 03:53 PM

Back in black, out of the (Russian) red! Corner props been the golden goose! Glad everyone hit today. Good matches this weekend!

BigBurk · 06-23-12, 05:58 AM

Any thoughts on Spain? I wanna take the ML and maybe the draw HT/Spain FT but I'm not sure enough yet. This could well end in a draw after 90 minutes.

swordsandtequila · 06-23-12, 08:11 AM

Staying away from sides in this one, sticking to my corners prop as Spain averaged 8.67 a game in group play and France 8.33.

Total corners over 9½ -222
Total corners 10-12 +198
Total corners over 12½ +168

Smaller on the 9½ with that juice, but confident it will hit. Corners been the golden goose for me so gonna ride it as long as it makes sense. This match has the potential to be very entertaining, hope both teams come out attacking. Will probably throw a little on both teams to score.

Both teams score a goal +117

BigBurk · 06-23-12, 09:18 AM

I may ride with you on the corner plays tonight, a little hesitant though to jump on the money train right now when you have been so profitable on it, since most of the time the train will come to a halt when I jump on!!

Also liking France over .5 goals (-120 approx) since Spain defence has not been solid at all without Puyol.

BigBurk · 06-23-12, 09:40 AM

France (UEFA Euro) Over ½ -130* vs Spain (UEFA Euro) (1.5x)

BigBurk · 06-23-12, 10:09 AM

EURO2012TD 10-8-1 = -4.20x

Almost back in black.. This could have been a great and profitable tourney if not for the damn Russians... Without them choking against Greece I would have been up 6 units!

Confident that I'll end up in black though!

silvap · 06-23-12, 10:18 AM

Also taking that both teams to score. Tough game to call and find much value, but it should be a fun match. Best of luck getting back to black Burk, you're making solid picks so im sure you'll get there soon

BigBurk · 06-23-12, 10:24 AM

Yeah I find it difficult to find something to play tonight, so I'll stick with the France over 0.5 goals play.

As I don't see Spain not scoring the both teams to score bet should be a safe one.

Thanks for the contribution in the thread and good luck tonight guys!

Bol!

BigBurk · 06-23-12, 02:32 PM

Well they are not going to score a goal playing like this.

swordsandtequila · 06-23-12, 02:42 PM

Yeah, France needs to attack. Playing back isn't doing them any good.

BigBurk · 06-23-12, 02:58 PM

Are we really watching a quarter final or a friendly?!!!

BigBurk · 06-23-12, 03:33 PM

What a joke.. The French, the ref, this whole ******* game. Pathetic level of football. The Germans will have no problem defeating this Spanish team on its high horse.

10 right on the head, after 93:35! Lol

swordsandtequila · 06-23-12, 03:50 PM

Thanks JT, definitely sweating that one. Agree with you Burk, ref sucked (even though France was worse and wasn't going to win anyway). I was way off base about this being an entertaining match. Boring as sh*t. Posted in EP's thread I hope to hell Portugal beats Spain. For a team as talented as they are, their keep-away style is mind numbing to watch.
