I'm going big on this double for Tuesday:
Valletta
Dudelange -1
@ 1.49

I don't use the word "banker" very often but it should really really be a banker.

Valletta (champions of Malta) vs Lusitanos (champions of Andorra):
I watched Valletta last year vs the champions of San Marino and they were easily the better side (won the first leg 3-0), and Sammarinese football and Andorran football are about the same level imo.
After that, they played vs the champions of Lithuania and lost 2-3 and 0-1, I watched the return leg and they totally outplayed the Lithuanians and were really unlucky not to score.
They have Michael Mifsud in their team, the best Maltese player ever who used to play for Coventry.

Dudelange (champions of Luxembourg) vs Tre Penne (champions of San Marino):
I've seen Dudelange a few times in the CL qualifiers and they're a decent team, I watched them against the champions of Slovenia last year and they played well even though they lost 0-2 and 1-3.
Prior to that they played vs the champions of Andorra and won both legs 2-0.
I'd be shocked if Dudelange didn't win this game by at least 2 goals.

Serious great spot -will be free rolling all week thanks to you and i would have gotten a lot more if PP had not crashed, they got lucky there typical:rolleyes:

Most convenient for depositing, nice website.

I've never had any problems apart from the website being down today.

lol you must be new to gambling then

If you think todays downtime is rarity you'd be mistaken. This happens pp a few times in the past. Lot more than any other big bookie. They suspended matches more than any other bookie. Slow to pay out on bets. They are extremely slow to get matches up on live betting because they want to test the water with the match

Traeff v Skeid (Norway 2. Division)
Skeid reports on their website that they probably will send a young squad on Wednesday for various reasons.

3 singles:
Under 2.5 in EB Streymur vs Gandzasar @ 2.00

Aktobe win or draw (vs Torpedo Kutaisi) @ 2.05

Under 2.5 in Birkirkara vs Metalurg Skopje @ 2.00


EB Streymur (Faroese league) vs Gandzasar (Armenian league):
EB Streymur are top of the Faroese league, they played vs Man City a few years ago and only lost 2-0 (home & away), last year they played vs a good team from Azerbaijan and they drew both games (1-1 and 0-0). Azerbaijani teams are stronger than Armenian teams imo.
Gandzasar are 5th in the Armenian league and most of their games go under 2.5 goals.

Torpedo Kutaisi (Georgian league) vs Aktobe (Kazakh league):
I've watched Aktobe several times in Europe and they're a nice team to watch, they play fast, attacking football. They're very strong at home and a bit weaker away, but still they have much more experience in Europe than Torpedo and they recently signed several players including 3 Uzbek internationals. They have a terrible GK though... A few years ago, they played vs the champions of Georgia and won 2-0 at home and drew 1-1 away. This game should finish as a draw imo.
-Aktobe to qualify @ 2.65 is another good bet imo.

Birkirkara (Maltese league) vs Metalurg Skopje (Macedonian league):
Birkirkara's results in Europe in the past few years:
2012: 0-1 and 1-1 vs an Albanian team
2011: 0-1 and 0-0 vs a Croatian team
2010: they beat the Slovakian champions 1-0 at home (lost 3-0 away)

So they're not as bad as the odds suggest. As for Metalurg Skopje... Macedonian football is a joke and if Birkirkara managed to draw against teams from Croatia and Albania, I don't see why they couldn't get a positive result here.

More bets:
Double:
Twente to score over 4.5 goals
Under 3.5 in EB Streymur vs Gandzasar
@ 2.26

and a single on:
MyPa -1 (vs some jokers from the Welsh 2nd division) @ 1.70

Taking FK Baku on the -1 in the Europa League tomorrow night @2.20.

Taking FK Baku on the -1 in the Europa League tomorrow night @2.20.

To elaborate -- taken from my log:

Europa League first round qualifier tomorrow night. Mura 05 of Slovenia travel to Azerbaijan to face FK Baku. Baku's odds have dropped a lot in recent days. As far as I can tell, Mura 05 are experiencing financial difficulties, have no manger, have sold 3 players, and are without their top goalscorer. The two sides played each other in a friendly recently and FK Baku won 4-0. Hopefully with all the problems Mura 05 are having, and also the intense heat of Azerbaijan, they will cover the -1 handicap tomorrow.

I am considering lumping big on FK Baku to win @1.36 also.

Sent them an email looking for some free bets, this is what they sent me back:

Thank you for contacting Paddy Power Customer Support.

Not a happy chap at all over that. Strongly considering moving to B365 over the shambles with the website,

Sorry bud - got the same message as Kero €10 free bet - no much of a compensation but need some help with an accum for it

FK Baku (-1) @ 6/5
Elfsborg (-2) @ 8/11

I need at least one more but has to be a home team, i'm thinking of Ceaser Vallejo (-1) @ 6/5 in the Peru league but there must be a beter bet in the Europa games?
