    Thinking of doing the following treble:

    Barcelona 8/11
    Bayern 10/11
    Sheff Utd 4/9


  • Registered Users Posts: 629 ✭✭✭PurpleSt4in


    munich are hosting the final this year and mairseille standing between them and a semi-final spot! but bayern's away form has been dodgy! mairseille qualified last round basically just due to 2 90 min goals in either leg!

    Gomez wincast is 9/5 and taking bayern at 10/11


    okay going much bigger on tonights bet than last night

    a simple 3/1 double

    Gomez wincast 9/5 & Barcelona win 8/11


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Schism


    Doing a little double this afternoon

    Horizont Turnovo v Vardar Skopje - Macedonian Premier League
    Panthrakikos v Thrasivoulos Fylis - Greek Liga

    2.33

    Vardar are top of the table, top of the form table and have the best away record playing the second from bottom team.

    Panthrakikos have won every home game this year so far, conceding only 1 goal. They're playing a team in the relegation zone who've only won one away match so far and have one of the worst goals conceded records.

    I will admit I haven't got the slightest clue about these leagues, just hoping the stats don't lie!

    Unloading the clip on Barca if this doesn't come in I won't be on this forum for a while


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,303 ✭✭✭Lasagna Diarra


    Metalist Kharkiv DNB @ 2.45 looks a great bet, they'll win the Europa league this year or at least reach the final imo, the odds on Sporting keep going up, they were at 1.65 when the draw was made, yesterday they were at 1.85 and now they just moved up to 1.95, Metalist DNB was at 2.70 a few days ago.

    thanks man. Ambrosini is probably worse than Bommel so that is a nice bet

    @seanhynes. Ill be ringing boyles tomorrow

    So its 7/4 on him, I didn't take bet yet thou because I want to know more about the line up and the ref. Anyone know much about the ref?


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 20,862 Mod ✭✭✭✭inforfun


    Group matches between the 2 saw 5 and 8 yellows. German Stark for the 8 yellow, German Stark for the 5

    The ref for tonight doesnt seem too strict and over 5,5 cards on bet 365 doesnt appeal to me @2.1


  • Registered Users Posts: 769 ✭✭✭seklly


    Have a €50 free bet so just put it on the following treble:

    AC Milan v Barcelona - Over 3.5 Goals 7/4
    Marseille v Bayern Munich, Mario Gomez - Wincast 13/5
    Sheff Utd v Chesterfield - Sheff Utd -1 6/5

    Comes to just under 21/1


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,351 ✭✭✭magherakid


    Messi to score more goals than Milan 2/1

    Going with something similar but not as adventurous:
    Messi wincast
    Gomez anytime
    Sheff Utd.

    €10 returns €63.48

    Ref doesn't seem too strict but this will be a fiery enough encounter I'd imagine. I'd expect 4 cards at least, similar to the group games, but Ambrosini will most likely get booked.

    I don't like people telling others to make bets they don't make themselves but I have no way of placing a bet on Ambrosini to be booked for this game. If I was you, I'd take 7/4 for it. At the very least it represents good value, but I expect it will come through.


  • Registered Users Posts: 738 ✭✭✭MikeyGorse


    Gone big on the PP enhanced double of Barca & Bayern @ 12/5.

    Bommel will be back for the next leg right?

    What do you think about Sheff Wednesday, Barcelona and Milan to win at 9/2?

    Yep. Only a one game suspension and he's fit again from a recent injury. That, together with Ambrosini just returning from a european suspension for yellow cards, means he has nothing to lose at all by being booked because Van Bommel starts ahead of him anyway.

    As well as that, he's just not quick enough to keep up with the Barca midfield and will get caught out by their pace. That's how he usually gets booked.

    Aswell as that Milan have no other defensive Midfielder in the squad as nocerino is going to play on the right, and isn't keen on the anchor role, and Muntari isn't in the CL 25 so Ambro will probably play the full 90 mins. I'd be very surprised if he gets through the night without a yellow.

    Best of luck whatever you do! ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 60 ✭✭elmossman


    Ac Milan draw no bet 14/5 is the bet of the night, personally I have 10 on them to win at 4/1 though. Barcelona are amazing, but Milan gave them two good games in the qualifiers and are incredible at home. 4/1 is too big a price to refuse on Milan.

    It'd be a surprise to me if Barca and Milan both won! :pac: haahaha

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,602 ✭✭✭Newtown90


    What do you think about Sheff Wednesday, Barcelona and Milan to win at 9/2?

    Smithwicks your advice has changed my mind, iv gone for Ambrosini to be booked

    Puyol is for Barca and there's definitely one Milan player. Think it's Mexes but not 100% sure. I'll have a look now to see.

    Starting to feel the pressure now! :pac:

    I believe it's a very good bet. Boyles is it?
    Wondering if I raced into town now would they give me 7/4 in the shop or is it a phonebet only?

    a simple 3/1 double

    Gomez wincast 9/5 & Barcelona win 8/11

    getting a bit of stagefright :p

    looking at more stats marseille concede very few goals at home; 11 in 15 league games and 2 in their 4 home champions league games. they lost to arsenal and olympiakos 1-0 at home though. munich can be seriously clinical at times and would expect them to a do a job here.

    milan may be top of serie A but a few injuries, and playing the reigning champions who are on another level, they could produce something magic in the san siro though! they've only conceded 7 in 14 home league games and the only team to score against them at home in the champions league this season is barca themselves

    I'm going for a 20€ stake, not as confident as I was

    another bet I was considering was Barca to score 2+ goals at 4/6. put 2 past them in both games earlier in the season! they'll have the majority of possession just depends how ruthless they are! (4/5 on boylesports)
