    Thinking of barca 2 or more 1st half goals @ 11/2.. any value in this?

    edit: put some down it anyway!

    Yeah, looks good. Altintop weak link in Madrid side. Cesc, Messi and Iniesta will give him hell I reckon..

    Barcelona to score over 1.5 goals @ 2.05

    Went with that too @2.10 on bwin. Here's hoping.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,937 ✭✭✭Radonman


    As we all know Barca has not been great away from home lately and have conceeded a lot from set pieces so anytime goal with Betfair on the following
    Ramos @ 14/1
    Ronaldo @ 6/4 (just cos hes on peno's)

    After taking a break over Christmas after a bad run I have decided it's time to have a flutter again.

    Nothing Fancy mind you €20 on Barca I have a feeling they are gonna batter them. I'll hopefully put the winnings then on Ronnie in the snooker tomorrow.

    Panathinaikos v Doxa Dramas - Greek League

    http://www.oddschecker.com/football/european-football/other-leagues/greece/hellenic-liga/panathinaikos-v-doxa-dramas/match-result-and-over-under-2-5

    Pana are a good out fit, have won every home game so far in the league. On the other Doxa were promoted half way through the season and are a dire side, they've only scored a single goal so far. In fairness to them though they are fairly good at the back, they've only conceded more than two goals in a match on one occasion since promotion. Doxa will not score so Pana will have to score three goals for this bet to lose, they are capable of this though.

    Pana to win and under 2.5 goals (17/10 BWIN)

    I'd only recommend a small stake on this.

    Nothing else on tomorrow that I like, although QPR are a good price.

    Chateroux v Metz

    Both teams to score - NO (7/10 StanJames/Bwin)


    This bet has come in 3/5 times in Chateroux last 5 home matches and 5/5 in Metz last 5 away.

    Both sides are solid outfits, Chateroux average 1.2 goals per game at home, concede an average of 1 goal at home. Metz have been fantastic in defence away from home. They only concede an average of 0.6 goals per game however they struggle to get goals away from home as well, average of 0.6 scored.

    I'd recommend a small stake on this.
    Angers v Troyes

    Angers to win to nil (9/5 PP)


    Angers home form: W L W L W
    Troyes away form: L L D L D

    Angers have conceded 4 in the last 5, 3 of these came in the one match against a team 4th in the league, the other goal coming against 1st in the league. They've kept 3 clean sheets in the last 5.

    Troyes have yet to win away in the league and have only scored 2 in the last 5 matches. They've failed to score on 5 occasions in their 9 away matches.

    Definately worth a small stake

    Panathinaikos 1 - 0 Doxa *Wins*

    Chateroux 1 - 1 Metz

    Angers 2 - 3 Troyes

    Catastrophic 1st half from Angers killed the 3rd bet. Got lucky as Pana scored an 88th min goal and 2 goals in the last 15 in the Chateroux match killed the BTTS-NO bet.

    Edit: Thought I backed both to score in Metz match. Dam 90th min goal :( Small loss today so.

    Panaitolikos v OFI Crete

    Both teams to score - NO (8/11 PP)


    This is an absolutely huge price for two teams that don't score many and don't let in many either. In Panaitolikos's last 5 matches this bet has come in 4/5 times, while in OFI's last 5 matches this has come in 5/5 times. That 8/11 is huge and in reality it should be 4/7 or even 1/2 so take this price as it will not be there come kick off. I'd recommend a large bet on this.

    Previous season he was appointed on 16.04.2011 Real Madrid - Barcelona 1-1: 7 yellow cards. 1 red card. 2 penalties awarded. His record past season in Spanih La Liga: 24 games. 154 yellow cards . 6 direct red cards . 5 red cards ( 2 * yelow) . 8 penalties

    This year he was at the centre on 8 La Liga games and one Cup game: 66 yellow cards . 7 red ones . 1 penalty ... games with Barcelona: 1 penalty . 6 red cards.

    M. Fernandez isnt the kind of judge to let play, he wil take insurance and punish players from the very beggining:

    * this season in 9 games he give the yellow cards early in 7 of them! Bet365 gives the following type of bet:

    "The minute of first yellow card": Before 21:00 minute? Yes @ 1.83 - regarding this line 6/9 won.
    The ref in question is Cesar Muniz Fernandez
    I like the bet but the odds aren't great

    Wish I took the 1.83 now:(

    I'd go with Barca. I know their dropping points and struggling esp away from home this season, but as I said b4 the last classico they just have this pyschological edge over Madrid. Madrid just can't play against Barca. I'll be backing Barca to win and maybe a bit o barca -1

    woooo. see a good 4 of us had barca. easy money

    wtf ever happened to Monaco? 2nd last in the French 2nd division,

    Anyway they go away to last place Amiens tonight, Amiens last 7 games they've picked a single point,

    Monaco have the return of Ludovic Giuly and Hansson, and new signing Ibrahim Toure means they are definitly making waves in the right direction.

    At a price of 11/5 could be great value

    Lasagna any insight?
    I'd be careful with the Spanish match later,

    Pinto starts in goal for Barca, He's a f*ckin disaster of a keeeper, No Villa or Pedro either, so your relying on goals from Messi Fabregas and Xavi?

    In the Bernabeu too, I'd say Barcelona will sit play psosession ball in their own half as much as they can and wait to get them in the Nou camp, wont be many goals for Barca anyway, 1 maybe 2
    This is true,

    Either way, Pinto puts me off backing Barca, but Both to score or over 2.5 looks very good

    Delighted with Monaco :D

    Over 2.5's and both to score comes in in Madrid too!

    I'd take Sunderland before Everton tbh this weekend. Sunderland playing some great stuff and deserved a result against Chelsea at the weekend.

    Edit: How many's left in it now man?

    I misread it last week, still 17 left, there was 26 the week before, looks like it might drag out over a few weeks as the numbers drop.

    I like Sunderland too, but Villa have more going forward than Blackburn would, Agbon, Bent, NZogbia, Ireland, that Heskey beast!

    decisions!

    Pavia V Taranto Saturday 22nd
    Italian League Pro 1/A

    2nd place Taranto are away to bottom of the table Pavia, Pavia have picked up 2 points from their last 13 games(potential 39 points) conceding 29 goals over that period, and average of 2.23 per game.

    Taranto on the other are the complete opposite, 3 points off the top and a serious title contender, picking 13 points from their last 5 games, keeping 5 clean sheets too.

    Can't see any other result than an away win here for Taranto, i'm posting it early as its popped up on a few sites and the price is already dropping, was evens at lunch time,

    Taranto to win @ 5/6

    I know the odds aren't anything special, would be reliable for an accum if your into that craic, i'll be giving it a medium sized single stake.

    edit, 188bet are offering 10/11, PP have no market yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,626 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Dont like betting on lower league Italian games, dodgy tbh


  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,346 ✭✭✭✭SteelyDanJalapeno


    I'd agree, but if theres anything dodgy it will go in favour of Taranto surely, this is oppurtunity for Taranto to go joint top against the bottom club. I'd be very surprised if they didnt win.

    Just my opinion all the same.

    Ajax v Az Alkmaar

    are they playing that from the very start or where it was suspended after the kick?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,346 ✭✭✭✭SteelyDanJalapeno


    I'm almost sure its reset, I forgot about that actually
    Ajax were 1-0 up at the time, but agreed to arrange a replay from scratch.

    They're only allowing kids attend the game, excellent :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,626 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    iv gone for the first goal after 23min @ 10/11

    They have been off playing friendlies and taking it easy so Im hoping it will be a tight game and the players wont be 100% match fit yet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 391 ✭✭oconnon9


    Do you think AZ might let Ajax have a walkthrough goal at the start of the match as it was 1-0 in the first match? I've seen it done before..

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAMK7EMKMx4

    Could be something to keep an eye on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,862 ✭✭✭✭inforfun


    Ajax- AZ the facts :D

    Match starts all over again at 0-0
    AZ's GK who was sent off for kicking the **** out of the pitch invader, has had his red card cancelled so will play.
    It is played at 13.30 this afternoon in front of a 20.000 strong under 12 crowd. (Why they arent in school beats me...)

    This weekend it is AZ - Ajax for the league and Ajax' coach says he is more interested in that.
    Ajax still has quite a lot of injuries but are favourites for me in the cup match.
    Last few matches before the break, AZ was struggling.
    For them a win on sunday will probably count more as well as they will put Ajax on 8 points in the league with a win.

    I am on the Ajax win @1.9



    And on a personal note, i find it ridiculous this match is played. Ajax should have been kicked out of the cup. 3rd time in 10 years their "fans" attack an opponent during a match.

    Definately not safe, they are a f*cking awful team and Mark Hughes will have his work cut out for himself with that lot, they are a joke, and dont even deserve to be in the Premier League, they struggled, and i mean absolutely struggled the other night against MK Dons.

    My money would be on Wigan even though their not much better if i was having a bet on the game which I'm not mind you, because it's a match to be avoided at all costs i'de say

    Hi, anyone have any opinions on the River Plate against Racing Club tonight?

    Tough to find information but from what I gather the league isnt starting until Feb so this is a warm up tournament.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torneos_de_Verano_%28Argentina%29

    According to wikipedia these are taken pretty seriously and have high attendences.

    Racing club have finished second in this seasons Apertura (12 points behind Boca and an away form of P-10 W-2 D-7 L-1) and River Plate are currently sitting second in the Primera B with a home record of (P-9 W-5 D-2 L-2). River Plate seemed to have trouble scoring but have signed the legendry David Trezeguet in December. They also have Fernando Cavenaghi who has 13 goals in 17 apps since his return and up and coming star Lucas Ocampos.

    Historicly the form is played 25 times. River-14 Draw-6 Racing-5.

    The odds are River-2.5 Draw-3.3 Racing 2.6. (from PP)

    Personaly Im backing River here as they seem to have a good price. They are at home against one of the bigger teams in Argentina (but still nowhere near as good as Boca) and Im sure they will be eagar to show their fans they can compete with the better teams after last seasons embarrassing relegation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,626 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    That is the draw cup

    Every game so far has been a draw iirc.

    Its dodgy betting on a cup that isnt taken serious at all, its worse than the Community shield

    Turkish Super league tomorrow,

    Gaizentespospor V Mersin

    Bet365 have the best price on Gaiz @ 13/10, thats a cracking price for the home side, Mersin in terrible form losing their last 4 games, they're just an awful club in general, rotten to the core, the sooner they're thrown out of the super league the better.

    Wigan were not that bad against City and they definately have goals in them. They are set up to play the counter attack so playing away from home will suit them. QPR were just awful the other night so I will be steering clear of this one.

    Sorry we must have been watching different games. The Wigan I saw were absolutely terrible, specifically because they wouldn't hit a barn door and were brutal going forward
