Twente - Venlo

Its on Sunday. My booker has Twente for -233. But I looked at other bookers, it's more like -640.

My booker has the wrong odds? Is Twente def winning that match?

What's your book?! Offers very generous odds it seems!

[BigBurk]

Twente is definitely winning that match! No doubt in my mind! Odds seem strange indeed since 5dimes has the ML at -770!!!!!

[BigBurk]

Oh by the way, Champions League draw in about an hour!!

Wonder what group my Ajax squad gets drawn into.

[BigBurk]

I feel screwed! Again Real for the third year in a row... Plus Man City, and.... Probably the best out of pot D.

[silvap]

Yeah, real and city pretty much seal your fate, almost impossible to go through, on the other hand, those two real vs city matches should be fun

[BigBurk]

And Dortmund!!! Four national champions.... How about that vs some other wack poules.

Open draw my ass!

[BigBurk]

PSV up 3-0 after 15 minutes.. Whuttt..

[BigBurk]

8 after 75'

[BigBurk]

Well thr Heerenveen play is a loss. Dont know why the bookies moved that line the way they did but they fooled me.

Genk 2H against 10 men, should be do able.

[BigBurk]

CRazy minute in Twente! 2-1, Bursa kick off and immediate 3-1.

Genk winner, Partizan almost a winner, so profitable day as it is now.

[BHS]

PSV up 3-0 after 15 minutes.. Whuttt..

9-0 PSV. I lost because I played UNDER 4 goals.

But I won from Bursa Over and Bilbao Over. Made good $$$ today.

One question again, I don't understand why my booker has such a high odds for Twente - Venlo. It's still -225. But Twente played 120 minutes today, would that affect the team?

Twente -225 against Venlo for my booker.

It's usually -650 at Bet365, Willhill, BetandWin and so on.

[BigBurk]

Even if Twente would have played 270 minutes yesterday, beating VVV will not be a single problem.

If I had those odds I'd bet my wife ánd house on it.

Thursday:

Heerenveen (UEFA-Europa) -110* vs Molde (UEFA-Europa) (1x) *LOSS*

[BigBurk]

Wow.. I can't find more than approx five worthy plays to bet on this weekend.. Slim pickings!

Lucas who?

[Vaughany]

Lucas who?

ha he's the next big thing...you'll know about him soon enough...dubbed the next Messi in Argentina but models himself on Ronaldo ironically!

[BigBurk]

Why would he join Monaco?! If he's thát good other clubs must have wanted him to sign with them?

[BigBurk]

Chelsea now at approx -111, ADO at approx -121.

[Vaughany]

Why would he join Monaco?! If he's thát good other clubs must have wanted him to sign with them?

Money I guess...Monaco have Russian backing now so he's probably on a lot of money, tax free, and Monaco are ambitious...they'll be in Ligue 1 for sure next season

[swordsandtequila]

Groningen (HOL-E)/ADO Den Haag (HOL-E) Over 2½,3 -123
Atletico Madrid (UEFA SuperC)/Chelsea (UEFA SuperC) Over 2½ -104

Lots of goals and we both win! Good luck Burk

[BigBurk]

ADO and Groningen out of the last 5 games have scored 6 goals more four times. Seems solid!

[swordsandtequila]

Falcao!!!! Love the no sweat winners! 1 down, 1 to go.

[BigBurk]

Great way to start of this weekend, with two losses on the friday plays!

Who would have thought Atletico (Falcao) would punish Chelsea this hard..? Anyway, let's hope the other plays make up for the losses!

[BigBurk]

Heracles up 0-1 after 1'.

[BigBurk]

1-1 with 15 mins to go, hope they can hold on.

[BigBurk]

1-1 with 15 mins to go, hope they can hold on.

At least that one is a winner, need two wins tomorrow to have a positive weekend.

[in:extremis]

What are the plays for tomorrow?

[Vaughany]

Galatasary -1 and Ajax -1. Both playing teams that are gonna be tired from Europa (Bursaspor and AZ) and morale down

[BigBurk]

What are the plays for tomorrow?

Bilbao and Newcastle for me.

[BigBurk]

Galatasary -1 and Ajax -1. Both playing teams that are gonna be tired from Europa (Bursaspor and AZ) and morale down

Galatsaray and PSV you mean? Since you named AZ?

It's PSV-AZ and Heerenveen-Ajax.

[Vaughany]

Galatsaray and PSV you mean? Since you named AZ?

It's PSV-AZ and Heerenveen-Ajax.

ha oh yeah, meant Heerenveen. PSV is another one though that I may play...got a good home record against AZ and AZ dont impress me at all this season so far

[in:extremis]

Pretty solid picks there all round the -180 mark. I quite like all of them. I will put a couple of them in some parlays for a bit of fun.

My picks are in my thread, and I am wondering how you guys would devise a way to bet on them. They are Benfica, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Merseille. Obvioulsy Benfica and Bayern are very short and Inter and Marseille are even money. If you had $1000 to bet on these four teams how would you split it?
