      Friday:

      Belgium (WC-Qual) -109* vs Wales (WC-Qual) (2x)

      Much value on the Belgians tomorrow. Belgium has some great potential in their young squad and it is a must for them to qualify for a big tourney again after years of absence. They played great against Holland a couple of weeks ago (4-2 victory) and I expect them to win against the weak Wales team. I don't think Belgium will be surprised by them and try to open strong with an away victory.

        yeah I've been looking at this. On paper Belgium have amazing potential with a group of quality young players. Courtois in goal, in defence the likes of Vermaelen, Kompany, Vertonghen, Lombaerts, then in midfield you've got Witsel, Hazard, Defour, Fellaini, De Bruyne, then Mertens, Lukaku and Mirallas up front.

          On basis of those names, you'd expect that they can beat the Welsh rather easily. But somehow this Belgian squad has yet to find out how great they could be!

                              Damn didn't think Russia would go up against Israel this easy. Looked into it cause of the great price on the ML (-102) but couldn't pull the trigger...

                                          Little late to chime in, didn't have time to post. Threw a few bucks on the over (what did bettors do before smart phones?). Been watching your parlay thread, had sh*t luck this weekend parlaying ml favs in NFL, soccer safer! Anyway, tailed your Serbia/Germany pick, thank you very much. Also the 4-teamer (WCQual), just didn't feel right about England with all those absences so replaced them with Bosnia. Just got home from work, for once my gut came through. Wish I'd posted earlier, easy to say you won after the fact. Keep up the parlay thread, got a good thing going! Cheers.

                                            Thanks bro!

                                            I understand where you come from regarding not adding England to the parlay. When I took em the line was at -340 or something and it closed at like -190 or something so the signs were bad! Didn't know at the time I added them to the parlay that they would be this banged up...

                                            I get the feeling lately that it pays of to wait until the day of the match when picking soccer plays whilst I'm used to making picks fast (NBA) to avoid bad line movement. I even believe all the lines from yesterdays parlay that lost closed at a better price than I got...

                                            Something to think about!

                                              Yeah, I've been burned (or burned myself) being impatient, laying a bet only to find out later key players are out. Especially with all these qualifiers going on. Be glad when regular play resumes.

                                                Man City ML -144 at Stoke looks promising. Lock in now or wait two days... Hmm.

                                                  That's the biggest thing I have learned from soccer especially when I don't have good access to info being in the states. In the past I would almost blindly plug teams in by the price or more often the 'brand' name teams. Now I try to exhaust all of my options first which is why this forum is such an asset.

                                                    Saturday:

                                                    Manchester City (ENG-P) -144* vs Stoke (ENG-P) (2x)

                                                    Real Madrid (ESP-P) -147* vs Sevilla (ESP-P) (2x)

                                                    Schalke 04 (GER-1)/Greuther Furth (GER-1) Over 2½ -133* (2x)

                                                    People that know me a bit might know I usually don't play on totals, but can you really pass on an over 2½ when Schalke is involved?

                                                      In the short time I've been betting/watching soccer, Schalke has become a favorite. Like the attacking style of the better Bundesliga teams. Got a full slate to choose from this weekend, almost too many!

                                                        Yeah, so many games this weekend.. although there are not much I like as single plays. Sharp lines out there! These three plays will probably will be it!

                                                          Why City? Stoke is a good low scoring draw home team when they play these top teams .... last year drew city utd and arsenal, beat liverpool and tot...

                                                            Last years results don't mean much playing City again.. It's all about quality on the pitch and City should be able to win against this Stoke squad!

                                                            You may disagree, but normally City would win this match 8 times out of 10!

                                                              Not trying to argue with you, you can do as you wish with your money and the same applies to me. Its just Stoke plays all the top 5 teams hard at home, they didnt lose a single time to any of them last year so -144 looks like a lot of juice for this game.

                                                              Good luck though!
