Whoops....

 

Bloody smoggies cost me yesterday. Only one down from a 5 team accumulator with Ipswich, West Brom, Millwall, MK Dons

:-(

 

Tonight's CL games.....

Chelsea
Man Utd
Marseille
Juventus
Porto

£10 for £107 inc stake.

Betfair have an offer where if you place a fivefold (or higher) before 5.25pm today on games taking place today and tomorrow, if you get all bar one of your selections correct you get half the stake money back.

Seems a fair deal to me.

 

I'm without a return in two weeks :-(

Going to look for a couple of yankees tonight. Like the look of Chelsea and Marseille. Quite like Sevilla as well and maybe going to have a punt on St. Liege.

What do you think on the Liverpool game? Another loss or can they come good again because it's CL?

 

Another loss.

Gerrard has been ruled out - Torres will be playing through an injury (if he plays at all).

The best you are getting on Lyon is about 7/5.

Chelsea were 10/11 on Betfair - most bookies are at or around that mark.

 

Chelsea has a very tasty odd.

Very tasty.

Todays games i left out

i got Fiorentina, Sevilla and Arsenal for a even odds parlay

 

That seems like a good pick. Think I will copy you!

Even though I have gone for Juve, I'm a bit cautious with the Italian teams this season, very inconsistent it seems - Milan shocked me at 7/1 to beat Madrid last time out.

 

:good

I'll go with that. Don't like to bet against the *******s in Europe but can't see anything but a Lyon win tomorrow.

Liverpool team news.......

If you fancy a really adventurous parlay....

Go with those that I have picked, add those that Andy has for tomorrow, then whoever Rangers are playing, then Barca and Lyon.

The odds won't be sensational..... something like 120/1.

 

Dont bet on any Italian teams.

I know i know, I picked Fiorentina, but they are playing suburb at home and i think are in fourth place in the Seria A. Fiorentina is also only 1 loss at home so far this season and have averaged, plus they are playing a bunch of minows.

Arsenal is pretty much a 3-0 victory hands down. Van Persie and the Russian Assasin, Arshavin are going to **** on them

Juventus sucks dont bet on them cause they are so ****ing inconsistant its riddiculous.

I dont bet on the Seria A anymore, bunch of corrupt fruitbags them Italians are.

 

Im a Ligue 1 watcher, I watch Ligue 1 while all you guys watch EPL or w/e and ill just tell you my 2 cents on Lyon

They played very poorly vs St Etienne whoa re a bottom of the barrel team and they lost home vs Shoax in a very poor 2-0 home showing .

Lyon are kinda playing like garbage right now, so a injured Liverpool vs. a struggling Lyon is a 50/50 game in my eyes, and id keep away from it.

 

Can well imagine that would be a nice pay out if it came in! Can't help but worry about that accumulator you put up for tonight though. Looked at the match ups and each one looks fairly safe but just don't like the feel of it.

. . .having said that I don't think I'd recognise a winning bet if it hit me in the nuts at the minute :yep

 

If you fancy a secure long term investment.....

Pick Leeds to win League 1 in England at 8/15 (1.53) and to win promotion at 1/4 (1.25)

Works out around 17/20.

Seven points clear after the first third of the season..... nearly unbeatable at home :yep
