Meh, RKC just hit the post after 5 mins already.

[BigBurk]

A nice win on the RKC play, going on a small run lately, having won the last 3 plays. Let's hope this run can be continued!

[BigBurk]

YTD 32-30-5 = -1.68x

The goal is still to end in black this season..

[BigBurk]

Sunday:

Inter (ITA-A) pk -123* vs Lazio (ITA-A) (1x)

Paris SG (FRA-1) -1 -101* vs Rennes (FRA-1) (1x)

Brest (FRA-1) -½ +124* vs Valenciennes (FRA-1) (1x)

Bolton (ENG-P) pk,+½ -119* vs Stoke (ENG-P) (1x)

Might add a play on Vitesse or Twente, depending on the lines when released.

EURO 2012 - Futures

To Reach the Final - Germany* +175 (2x)

Now, I know the EURO 2012 is still 4 weeks away to be exact but I have a very strong feeling ze Germans will make it to the final this year. In my opinion, only three teams really have a shot at winning; Germany, Spain and Holland (in no particular order).

This price will drop once we get close to the start of the tourney, and I'm not risking losing on this one because I waited too long.

Might play some more futures the upcoming weeks. When the regular season is over I will fully focus on the EURO 2012.

Borussia Dortmund pk +106 vs Bayern Munchen (1x)

[NotSammySosa]

won't play this game since I'm a fan of one of the teams
hope you are right

[unitedlad]

Borussia Dortmund pk +106 vs Bayern Munchen (1x)

On Dortmund as well, put I've got them to Lift the Trophy with better odds. If this goes into Extra time, I can really see Bayern players not giving it their all, they won't want to be burnt out for the massive game next weekend.

BOL, hope we both cash in.

[BigBurk]

Thanks guys. I think this matchup is about pretty even, so it will be all about the form of the day. Just like unitedlad says, Bayern may be playing a bit more careful with the CL final on the way in a week. Plus, can you really ignore that Dortmund won the last four matchups?

[BigBurk]

Add:

Barcelona HT/FT -122 vs. Betis (1x)

[BigBurk]

Sunday:

Inter (ITA-A) pk -123* vs Lazio (ITA-A) (1x)

Paris SG (FRA-1) -1 -101* vs Rennes (FRA-1) (1x)

Brest (FRA-1) -½ +124* vs Valenciennes (FRA-1) (1x)

Bolton (ENG-P) pk,+½ -119* vs Stoke (ENG-P) (1x)

Might add a play on Vitesse or Twente, depending on the lines when released.

Add:

De Graafschap ML -115 vs Den Bosch

Vitesse ML -114 vs NEC

On Dortmund to lift the cup as well (+110), good start. Good luck everyone, and look forward to your Euro picks Burk (feel your lean on Germany).

[BigBurk]

Looking good at the half! Don't rule out Bayern yet though.. They are playing better than Dortmund today imo, but Dortmund scores every time they get half a chance!

[swordsandtequila]

Small wager on Over 5½ -103, think Bayern comes out firing, could leave themselves vulnerable. Either way, been entertaining.

[BigBurk]

One quick goal should be enough to push both teams a bit harder. Good luck!

BOOM!!!!!!! Ribery!!

[BigBurk]

Hehe!

[swordsandtequila]

Bayern gets another goal and this sh*t gets interesting!

Or not!

[swordsandtequila]

Early prediction: Bayern might just kill someone in CL final! All over it.

[BigBurk]

Great game to watch! Bayern defence is very weak and insecure though. I am really thinking about putting some money on Chelsea +points.

Let's see if Barca can win my final wager of the day and put me on a 5-0 streak.

[swordsandtequila]

With you there Burk. Got Barca -1½ and total over 3½. Think Barca tries to put on a show (hope so anyway). Good luck!

[BigBurk]

BOL!

hope so. got some on Barca ML too.

[swordsandtequila]

Can't even watch in HD. ESPN2 showing the match, but in Spanish (Deportes feed). Bullsh*t. Gotta watch ESPN3 through the computer. Knew I should have taken more than 1 year of Spanish in school.

[swordsandtequila]

Good luck everyone, putting the keyboard away for awhile!

[BigBurk]

Well the HT just narrowly covered!

[BigBurk]

Bad play on Barca.. Just like I told some other people on this form you should be careful playing on teams that dont have anything to play for.. Too bad I didnt listen to my own advice!! Lol

[BigBurk]

1-1 umtil now on the day, with a Vitesse win and Graafschap loss. De Graafschap just couldn't finish Den Bosch and are now relegated from the Eredivisie. I for one won't miss em.

Bolton at Stoke is playing right now, with Bolton in the lead. Let's hope they can keep the lead.

[BigBurk]

Joey Barton is a disgrace by the way. They should suspend him for the rest of his life.

He will be the reason why City takes the title. Is it a coincidence he has a City history?

[swordsandtequila]

Insane ending (ManC). 4th leg of a small ml parlay, had pretty much given up. Crazy!

looks like you had the stones to trust Man U. thought they would give up if City controlled the game early.

[BigBurk]

Well, at least half stakes win on Bolton. Three games left tonight to end the weekend with a profit.
