CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: Bayren vs. Real Madrid ***ONLY

I will be in town in Vegas, seeking some knowledge about the best sportsbook in town and how it all works, as I usually just use Bookmaker.eu while I am at home.

This is a key match up and a very giving matchup I think. I understand the likes of Real Madrid and the history they have underneath their belt, but Having the President of Bayern commit to the Champions league early on and also having the final in Germany is huge. Not only that Bayern is playing Real Madrid at home in the First Leg, and Vegas has them pretty good for you guys to cash in some money. I have One week to make a big decision before I hit the sports books in Vegas.

What do you guys think?

Quite hard to say 1 week before the game. I really don't think Madrid will get a away with a win. They won't push it with one game left to play at home and will likely hang back and look for a draw. Bayern at home is very solid but they need their key players to be fit. Especially Robben/Ribery who often have small injuries need to be at their best. If that's the case I would think a small victory for Bayern will be the case, but for me it's to close too call. Maybe Bayern +0/.5 if you can get reasonable odds. Anyway, I am staying away from this game. Good luck and enjoy vegas!

Too much hype over Bayern playing in their own arena. Mourinho comes into Munich and shocks everyone, 1-0 for Madrid.

Bayern goes through probably ... not that they are such a good team (maybe their attack yeah, but defense is not so good) , but madrid just can't play vs big teams, they are even worse

This is a game you don't bet on. Both of these teams have suspect defenses and very good offenses. If I were to play anything I would play the over.

When you are in Vegas, definitely go to Lagasse Stadium, it is nice to eat a meal and watch a game there while lounging on the couches and laying bets. I also like the Sportsbook at Cosmopolitan and at The Venetian. You can get a touchscreen tablet to make in-game wagers at most places, I would highly recommend that. Las Vegas Hilton has a very wide range of bets for you to make, but it's a little dingy. I've also heard that Aria is quite nice.

Tough game!

I'm a Madrid fan and Bayern Munich has always been a team that give a lot of trouble to Madrid.

They've played 18 times, Bayern won 10 times, 2 draws and 6 Madrid wins.

And Madrid has never won in Germany.

I really don't know if this may be a game to bet, this can go either way. I still remember those big games of CL between 90's and '00 what a good old times.

I think this games may go over, especially cause I can see both teams with very weak defenses.

Depending on the line, I think the over is the play. Too tough to pick a side on this one.

Madrid...everything about and around Bayern is overrated.
Besides, i cannot go against Mourinho in games that matter...unless they play Barca =p
Whatever happens, either of those teams will be shred to pieces by Barca.

Oh btw, Bayern are idiots..they think they would be favored in the finals, just cos it's in Munich ^^
