[BigBurk]

Ajax (HOL-CUP) -132* vs Utrecht (HOL-CUP) (2x) *WINNER*

Great day today, will not have any more plays! Just collecting the profits.

Ajax (HOL-CUP) -132* vs Utrecht (HOL-CUP) (2x)

Ajax plays at Utrecht tonight for the Dutch cup. Reasons why I'm picking Ajax:

- Ajax has drawn or lost their last three away games.
- Utrecht has won four straight against Ajax (home and away)
- Utrecht has won their last home game against heavy favorite PSV (1-0).

So basically this pick makes no sense at all. That's why it will hit.

Good luck!

ROFL great reasoning! how many times have we all been burned on "sure" bets, this approach is much better.

[BigBurk]

Ofcourse I really thought they would win yesterday, but just to show that stats really don't mean a thing.. In this case.

Burk, loved your post about Ajax... Really. One of the fewest bright spot in this soccer forum!

Keep it going!

Tuesday:

Galatasaray (UCL) -113* vs Sporting Braga (UCL) (1x)

Galatasaray impressed me when they played Man Utd two weeks ago. They should be able to beat Braga in their own stadium tonight!

[BigBurk]

Well gues Galatasaray is not so good afterall! Haha.

For today:

Schalke 04 (UCL) -½,-1 -132* vs Montpellier (UCL) (1x)

Real Madrid HT / Real Madrid FT +108* vs Any other result (2x)

Real Madrid (UCL) -1 -150* vs Ajax (UCL) (8x)

Fully riding the Real Madrid train tonight! They are hungry, need this game and I expect them to try to get a few goals in quick so they can rest their key players mid second half. Ajax has played Real Madrid four times the last two years, and haven't been able to get a point against them. Even against Madrids B squad (final group match last year) they went down 0-2 at home when they needed a point to advance to the knock out stages. Mourinho might say that Ajax has become stronger since last year, but everyone knows Real will have no problem at all tonight with the young Ajax squad. I see a 0-2, 0-3 game here.

[Vaughany]

Be surprised if Madrid keep a clean sheet! Should win 3-1 or something tho

[BigBurk]

3-1 is fine for me Vaugh!

Although I'm a big Ajax fan and would gladly see them beating Real Madrid, it's just not realistic.

[BigBurk]

How on earth can be Real -1 be at -116 right now?! Don't understand this line movement at all.

Played PSG PK and Real -1 as well. Also, if anybody has Pinnacle account take a look at PSG to score over 1 goal at -114. Great value IMO. Be surprised if Zlatan, Menez, Lavezzi, Verrati, etc... dont score at least 1 goal between them even if it is away from home.

[KidSeoul]

On board with the Real Madrid -1 play! Thanks BB!

True! Added the PSG over ½ -245 to my last parlay (had an open spot left).

Good luck tonight with the PSG and City pk's!

Didn't catch much of the PSG match, but really, nothing? And Schalke giving up a late goal to a short-handed team, very nice. Killed three different bets. Team is maddening at times. We live to fight another day.

Great day we had yesterday with cashing the BIG Real Madrid play! Although they won fairly easy Ajax came awfully close to equalizing at 2-2 with Hoesen in front of an empty goal...

Bit bummed about Schalke throwing it away in the finale minute against a 10 man Montpellier.. but we can't complain! Adding 7.5 units on the CL!
