    Is Portugal really a sure thing in regulation.
    I see Portugal is only -130 ML to win in regulation and everybody thinks that is a lock. But dont they really rely on 1 player and what happeneds if Czech just locks him down. I wanna poud Portugal but how likely is it that they lose or draw in reg?

    Is -130 really that good of a price to go big on them? Or is there better value with Czech or Draw?

      Thats im thinking. Now im not by no means a sooce expert and really only watch it for the big turnys like world cup and euro. But from the little i have seen i dont see how this loses. Which as we all know are the famous last words by any gambler. But is it really that strong of a play.

        You never know what you get with Portugal. Usually they're a bunch of chokers.

        Would'nt surprise me if this game goes into extra time or penalties.

          I see u can bet port -1/2 @-130 or czech +1/2 @ +115.

          Whats is this bet it says goal line but if game cant end in tie does this just mean for reg. But that doesnt make sense cuz if i bet port -1/2 and it ties in reg i lose any way. Some one help a newbie to soccer betting out. If this is a dumb question im sorry im new.

            Every asian handicap and ML refers to regulation time, which CAN end in a draw and then you lose the bet if you've taken the ML or -0,5.

              Thanks for the info. It doesnt really make sense to bet the -1/2 then. Its pretty much same as ML u have to win in reg to cash. So i dont really understand why they offer -1/2. But agian thanks for the info and helping me clear that up.

                  I have just been running bad ever since that Spain vs Cratia game. Of course i had the draw for pretty big $$$ and we know how that turned out. Thats why im scared to bet the draw agian when a team has a high powered offense.

                    Portugal is one decent striker away from being a consistent contender. Defence has been shaky over the past few years (let in the most goals in qualifying out of all 16 teams that made it to the tournament), but even without a top class proper centre forward, they still have a load of goals in them.

                    Holland looked completely hapless against the Portuguese, and they also showed their attacking prowess against Denmark, and in parts versus Germany. Given the way Ronaldo and Nani played last time out, I can see this Czech defence being run ragged and shipping a couple of goals.

                    2-1 to Portugal in 90 mins for me.
