just an early heads up, Chelsea -470 to beat Steaua Bucharest is as close to an "L word" you're gonna get. Chelsea needs a win to finish first in the group, and Chelsea won the game in Romania 4-0. Really no excuse to fail here.

Hate betting on juiced away teams like Dortmund (-200) and Zenit (-160) who should win. Milan -150 decent play but don't trust them, rooting for Ajax anyway.


That Galatasaray +400 is bothering me, all books cancelled it due to the postponement, I'm hoping it reaches HT 0-0 after the restart tomorrow so i can hit it. Really had/have a feeling on that one, now I'm at the mercy of the score at HT and whether the book feels like putting the odds up. :patrice:

Frustrating day today, "late add" play is why I'm in the negative today. Even in hockey cause the Red Wings and Sharks got tied late and coughed up a 2 goal lead. But as I only play regulation I didn't lose. Could be worse I guess.

They're autofade status right now until Kobe figures out how to be productive. Him coming back has drained this team of life.

yup. Just imagine being on that team, you got all the touches you'd want then the ball-hog comes back. Obviously in the long-run he's best for the team but for right now he's messing with their mojo.

Related but unrelated.

Biggest hockey favorite on the board today (Sharks) lose at -300, after being up 2-0 in the 3rd period, get tied with 2 minutes left and lose in the shootout. Backup goalie has the game of his life and almost 50 saves. +275 Islanders

Saw on covers someone had Isles live +1650 after being down 2-0.

Chasers and chalk bettors buried everywhere. Lessons learned. Brutal stuff.

Once you beat a book live like that they limit your live betting for the day. I got something similar on the Patriots when they were down Sunday, +1400. They stopped giving me live moneylines for the rest of the day :heh:

champions league is basically taking the top 2/3 teams of every country and putting them in a european tournament. so in a random, even the champions of romania dont compare to 3rd place in england. or the champions of turkey (gala) beat the champions of italy (juve) in a minor upset.

i love betting soccer because there is so much to choose from, can focus on about 100 games on saturday, 50 on sunday, 10 on weekdays plus select nhl/nba plays. never struggle for choice, never struggle for action. i suppose its the same with college football and basketball, except there's more information out there and they are actually pros and not 19 yr old kids :heh:
