Rugby Union
Zurich Premiership
Rotherham v BATH -14 1.80 @ Betandwin Won 18-34/CG (score has now been changed to 18-34, but bet still won))

Earlier in the season Bath won by 44 points in the home fixture (47-3) and I see no reason for this game to be any different. The sides are at different ends of the table, Bath top (12-0-1, 317-169), Rotherham bottom (0-0-13, 158-439) and with the following news from the Zurich Premiership site about injuries for Rotherham, then I expect Bath to win this game convincingly.

Injury and illness continues to hamper Rotherham Director of Rugby Steph Nel's team selection as Rawson (neck), Wood (illness), Elliott (glandular fever), Strange (illness), and Ewens (broken toe) all miss out on a place in the squad to face table-toppers Bath at Millmoor on Sunday.
Colin Noon's calf problems still haven't recinded and Jason Keyter could require an operation on a shoulder injury. Bloues Volschenk has an infected leg wound. American trialist Dan Dorsey starts on the bench for the Titans which means that there is no place for Jacob Rauluni who can't be included as he too holds an overseas passport. Lee Blackett gets a start on the wing with Riaan Olckers coming in at prop.

My second pick in POD will be also from FA-Cup, this time luckyer then yesterday, i hope.

Leeds United v Arsenal 1:0 2 @ 2.70 at Gamebookers Handicap
Bet won, 1-4 /Per

First of all lets take a look at the Premier league standings...
Arsenal 2nd with no lost game in this season, with the best away goal difference in league
(19-6).Arsenal will play with normal lineup. Ashley Cole is coming back from suspension.
Also no injuries were reported.
Meanwhile Leeds is strugeling (on 19th place) to stay in the league next season,
because of that they are already thinking of wednesday game against Newcastle.
Jermaine Pennant won`t play for Leeds, coz of the loan from Arsenal...

Arsenal is very motivated to win FA Cup 3rd time in a row, I think Leeds won`t stay
long on their way to the end.The score will be something like 0:2, 1:3, 0:3...
Good luck

Moreirense(AH 0) - SC Beira Mar(AH 0)
Pick: 2
Odds: 1.99 @ Pinnacle

LOST (3-1)

Frankly speaking, I do not know what is going on here. The level handicap is too good to be true. Beira Mar has been fairly outstanding this season and really do deserve to be in the 4th place. Defeated only 4 times this season, against the likes of Porto, Lisbon, Maritimo and Baovista. Other than the last team, the rest are really decent(or more than decent). Beira Mar has been managing to crunch out results where it matters, scoring vital goals that counts and that is indeed the main reason why they are 4th. They were briefly 2nd even, until Lisbon and Benfica piled on the pressure recently, coupled with Beira Mar's slip at Porto, it finally cost them. But other than the Porto loss, they have actually gone on to win 5 of the other 6 matches. Very impressive I must add.

Moreirense has been tipped to once again have a mediocre season. And so far, it has lived up to pre-season predictions. A very ordinary home record standing at 2/3/2 with wins against newly promoted Rio Ave and surprisingly Lisbon. One sad fact though, is that they have not won for their last 10 matches after defeating Lisbon. Such are the non-winning habits of Moreirense, I would just have to lean towards a very much on-song Beira Mar to carry on their impressive showing and take at least a point away from this clash. Given the form and strikerate of both teams, it should not pose too much of a problem.

H2H splits the teams right down the center with 1 away win apiece for their last 2 meetings.

===============================================

My 2nd Pick of the Day:
Skoda Xanthi FC - Panathinaikos

Pick:
2

Odds:
1.70

Bookie:
B&W

Result:
?

===============================================
REASONS

Well these odds represent great value if you ask me!!!Xanthi is not good at all and despite the fact that history is against PAO in this game I will trust my money on the team I dislike most. The players know very well that they are not allowed in any case to drop more points because for the Greek standards 7 points difference between the 1st and the second team is chaotic especially when we are talking about Olympiakos being first! Pao has a difficult program ahead with difficult away games and should not fail to take 3 points in such games. The 1st stiker(in terms of goals) in Greek history ,Krzysztof Warzycha,wanted to quit football this Christmas but he wished to leave the fields with a title. The president of Pao kept him till summer so as for the team to make him this present! The morale in the team seams very good and they are confident that they can be first in May. I doubt it... but tomorrow it will be a 1 man show for the team in green…9/10 confidence for me…

P.s:It will be under 2.5 too!


Good Luck with your choice!!
===============================================
Sorry for that...the game is scheduled for next week...ill post another pick later.I still believe that odds are great though and that they will be slashed

England, FA Cup

Aston Villa v ManUtd X/X @5.25(Centrebet) Bet lost /Per
ManUtd are favourits here and it's normal,especialy after they crushed Villa 4:0 in the league a few weeks ago.But I don't think that the price around 1.70-1.75 for "away win" is so real at the moment.OK,ManUtd have a six consecutive wins(including CL),their performances are superb at the moment,they are 1st in the Premier League,...Everything is so nice for them,but what about Aston Villa?They are in excelent form as well,with 6 wins and 1 draw in the last 8 matches.And their performances are better and better after every match.They even beat Chelsea 2:1(Carling Cup),so why not to play a one equal match against Manchester.These results aren't just a coincidence,because the hosts have a very good players like J.P.Angel,D.Vassell,D.Dublin,young Hitzlsperger,Gareth Barry,Delaney,...A little handicap could be Mark Delaney's absence(knee problem),but ManUtd is without defender John O'Shea.He has still not recovered from the hamstring injury.Aston Villa are always strong at home(lost only once this season),where they present simply an amasing performances lately and the visitors will have a lot of problems if they want to finish this job after Sunday's 90 minutes.One of the problems for ManUtd,and advantage for Villa,could be their defense,because their opponents had a lot of shots in the last few games.The home win looks like a value bet,but as Aston Villa didn't beat MU for a very long time,then the draw should be a fair outcome in here.

Hi

My pick comes from ski-jumping:



I WILL NOT TAKE THIS PICK I CHANGED MY MIND (2h and 40 min before)

My new pick is:

Maximilian Mechler-Rok Benkovic 1 2.00 bet365

Benkovic is jumping good but he is at MAX. Kid has good form but still he is just a "kid" and he is still making small mistakes and i expect him around 15 position. Mechler can be in top 10. This match-up will be close and odds are very good for Mechler since IMO he is better and is also jumping very good this seson.WON Mechler-13,Rok-17

Liverpool x Yeovil English FA Cup Sunday.

I cannot see a side that were playing in the Conference last season getting a result against a team that not so long ago won 3 cups in 1 season and have several top international players.

Liverpool record for Fa cup.
Football Association Challenge Cup Winners - 6 times
1964-65 1973-74
1985-86 1988-89
1991-92 2000-2001

Yeovil Town are without suspended striker Jake Edwards who has scored 7 for them this season while Liverpool may have England forward Michael Owen returning from injury and could be on the bench.

Yeovil last 2 games
26-Dec-03 H Kidderminster Harriers Lost 1-2
28-Dec-03 A Swansea City Lost 2-3

Liverpool last 2 games
26-Dec-03 H Bolton Wanderers Won 3-1
28-Dec-03 A Manchester City Draw 2-2

Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier insists his side will be just as motivated as Yeovil to claim victory.

My Pick Liverpool to win HTFT @1.61 Ladbrokes Bet lost /Per

Sociedad is definetely the big surprise of the season...last year they were fighting for the title and this year they are fighting hard to avoid relegation.They seemed to have a very predictable style of playing,they are already tired since this year they had the Champion's League without rotating the first eleven since there are the same 13-14 players used in all matches.Malaga on the other hand performs much better than expected,they have lost only once at home,having 5 wins and one draw in their 6 last matches at the Andalusian city.Last time the Basques won was in 26th of October and at Malaga they traveled without Chavi Alonso,Aranzabal,Westerweld and Kovasevic...in other words all the key players(only Nihat will be available).Malaga can come closer to Uefa's spots with a win here

Malaga vs Sociedad Home win @ 2.0 @ gamebookers

megapoxy, I don't know if your intention was to cheat, but if you read the rules, you see that you must have a unique IP address, not more than one competitor can use the same address. In this thread I found 3 other posts written by 3 different users, but all of them use the same IP address as you. The other users also used the same style as you and since they're all "fresh faces" with one post, I really doubt that those users are your friends, colleagues, etc. I will discuss this with Per and later decide if we will disqualify you or not. tahoma

Aston Villa v Manchester Utd - Aston Villa +0.5 Asian Hcp @ 2.09(Pinnacle)
Bet lost, 1-2 /Per

Aston Villa are a strong team at home (5-3-1) whom have only conceded 7 goals on their home turf. Since their 4-0 loss to Man U, they have produced 4 wins and 1 draw (against some mediocre opposition), with their most impressive wins coming in the Carling Cup against Chelsea (2-1) and in their last EPL match against Fulham (3-0). Manchester Utd have been getting the wins with 5 in a row but their performances have been far from impressive. With Ferguson almost certain to give the fringe players a go, I think that high-flying Villa have a good chance for atleast a draw. Delaney is out for Villa while O'shea will not be risked for Utd.

This is my first ever pick in the competition so I hope I'l do everything the right way and have a correct pick as well
Terramo is one of Serie A's top scoring teams especially when they play at home...Mario Boni is leading the team though he's currently almost 40 years old,last week they were leading at Siena until the 4th quarter but managed to ruin everything at the end.Today they host Avelino that after an amazing start they are now like the football team in the last place,they face serious economical problems and some of their best players are either injured or "injured"(they pretend to since they don't get their money on time).Super Mario can lead his team to a comfortable win to start the new year safe from relegation.

Livorno was demolished in last week's match and now they are close to relegation...the home side is depended on Charlie Bell's mood,he shoots 12-15 three pointers every match and when they play at home his percentage is increasing.Livorno has the way to win matches against teams that are almost at the same level especially in the home ground.Biella is famous for the lousy defence that gets worse at the away matches and especially guarding outside the three point line.Bell wants to start the new year with 30+ points and Biella can't resist him so...

Racing Santander 2-1-5 at home 7-13
Barcelona 4-2-2 away 14-13


Barcelona's away record would have been much better if they hadn't missed Ronaldinio in the last two defeats they suffered(perhaps Barca would still be undefeated).When playing away the Catalans seems not to have stress that Nou Camp fans create on them and they seem to perform better when they don't have to be the ones attacking all the time. Racing the second worse team at home still influenced by the stupidity that occured in the match against Osasuna,they are missing two key players (Casar and Mateo) and they will be hard to avoid one more defeat(it will be the sixth) at home!

I couldn't resist picking Barcelona @ 2.55 @ Centrebet

Levante v Cadiz HT/FT 1/1 @3.6 Gamebookers

Levante well plays in this season, particularly building 68% wins and 32% draws, Cadiz in spite of the high position bad plays in guests 50% losts. Considering that fact that Levante has a chance to overtake Numancia which occupies a first place, it must win. Think sometime 1-0, 2-0.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Espanyol must win if they want to stay in Primera. Many hard work in holidays and the new signings should give them a nice boost. Espanyol was not bad in the last away game against Depotivo. They had a lead and lost thanks to unfortunate owngoal.

The Sonics are a completely new team now that Ray Allen is Back...in five games that he played he scored almost 25 points per match leading the Sonics to the play-offs... tonight facing the Kings that are not so famous about their defence he's expected to take many shots and try to keep Sonics winning streak alive.Since most of the times Sacramento points are divided to many players it's much possible that Allen will be the leading scorer of the match:

Moreirense - Beira-Mar 2 - Odds 2,80 at Interwetten
BET LOST (2-1)
Here is a real valuebet after my opinion.

Beira-Mar is placed 4'th in the table and Moreirense 15'th out of 18!!

Last meetings:
2003-01-19 17:00:00 Beira-Mar 1 2 Moreirense
2002-08-25 17:00:00 Moreirense 1 2 Beira-Mar

This dosn't say anything imo because it's long time since they met last.

Last 5 away matches Beira:
2003-12-14 Porto (A) 0 - 3 L
2003-11-30 Academica (A) 1 - 0 W
2003-11-02 Benfica (A) 2 - 1 W
2003-10-20 Sporting (A) 1 - 3 L
2003-09-28 Sp. Braga (A) 2 - 0 W

It's pretty nice to win over Benfica away!!

Last 5 home matches Moreirense:
2003-12-14 Gil Vicente (H) 0 - 0 D
2003-11-09 Porto (H) 1 - 1 D
2003-10-26 Academica (H) 1 - 1 D
2003-10-04 Benfica (H) 1 - 4 L
2003-09-20 Sporting (H) 1 - 0 W

As you can see there is nothing pretty here (okay 1-1 home against Porto is fine).


I think this is OVERODDS and therefore I would place medium stakes on Beira-Mar to win.

3rd round 4.1.03 French cup

Metz FC vs. AS Monaco away win @ 2.25 Centrebet Bet won, 2-0 /Per


First and strongest team in French Ligue meets struggling Metz with only one home win in La Ligue and on the end of runners. I know, cup is a different thingie, but i have no doubt that AS can win this match easily even with some reserves on pitch. Metz really can`t think about Cup, they must care about avoiding relegation.
1. AS Monaco 18 13 3 2 32-14 +18 42pts
17. Metz 18 4 4 10 14-21 -7 16pts

20. Metz 1 2 5 5-11 5pts at home
1. AS 6 2 2 15-11 20pts away

I can`t write novel here about this match, anything other than away win will be a big surprise.

Barcelona's away record would have been much better if they hadn't missed Ronaldinio in the last two defeats they suffered(perhaps Barca would still be undefeated).When playing away the Catalans seems not to have stress that Nou Camp fans create on them and they seem to perform better when they don't have to be the ones attacking all the time. Racing the second worse team at home still influenced by the stupidity that occured in the match against Osasuna,they are missing two key players (Casar and Mateo) and they will be hard to avoid one more defeat(it will be the sixth) at home!

I couldn't resist picking Barcelona @ 2.55 @ Centrebet

I wish u luck with this pick, too bad for me, im late :-)
Heres my support for your pick:

Barca is too low in standings for their actual strenght. They play away better than home (i dunno why :roll: ). Only Kluivert and Overmars :wink: missing for Barca so they could play in full strenght.
Racing plays away better than home too, they collect only 7 points at home (8 2 1 5 7:13 7 ). Last meeting 23.03.2003 ended 6:1 for Barca.

So....9th place for Barca is disgrace and they should start winning streak and im expecting that first candidate for it is Racing Santander.

Athletic Bilbao - Atletico Osasuna Pamplona, DRAW @3.25 (Expekt)

WON (1:1)

Osasuna is the revelation of PriemieraDivision games 03/04. In the last round Osasuna have lost unfortunately to Real Saragossa at home (0:1).
Even though it was suprise, a lot of us backed Saragossa and won nice money.

Away Osasuna's result (2-4-2):

Albacete Balompie-Atletico Osasuna Pamplona 0:2 Sat 30-08-2003
FC Barcelona-Atletico Osasuna Pamplona 1:1 Sat 20-09-2003
Mallorca RCD-Atletico Osasuna Pamplona 1:1 Sun 05-10-2003
Real Sociedad-Atletico Osasuna Pamplona 1:0 Sun 26-10-2003
Villareal CF-Atletico Osasuna Pamplona 1:0 Sun 02-11-2003
Malaga CF-Atletico Osasuna Pamplona 0:0 Sun 23-11-2003
Espanyol Barcelona-Atletico Osasuna Pamplona 0:1 Wed 03-12-2003
Racing Santander-Atletico Osasuna Pamplona 0:0 Sun 14-12-2003


On the other hand we have Athletico Bilbao, which are very strong at home (6-0-2). There has no draw at home and I think it's high time to get the one to good teams from Pamplona. I'm sure that Osasuna won't lose two times in row.


Probably line-up:
Athletic: Aranzubia; Lacruz, Luis Prieto, Karanka, Del Horno; Gurpegui, Tiko; Joseba Etxeberria, Yeste, Ezquerro; y Urzaiz.
Osasuna: Sanzol; Izquierdo, Mateo, Josetxo, Antonio López; Valdo, Puñal, Pablo García, Muñoz; Aloisi y Webó.

WhyNot?

my 2nd POTD
i see someone already took Barcelona!
i'm on Barca too, as i see it the best bet (in soccer) for today!

Match: Racing Santander v Barcelona (0 : 0)
Pick: Barcelona @1.70 Bet lost, 3-0 /Per

Racing Santander has managed to remain undefeated in their last 2 fixtures before the break with two draw results against Osasuna
(0-0 H) and Atletico de Madrid (2-2 A). Positive results if we think to the 2 previous fixtures where they were hammered 0-4 H by Sevilla and 0-4 A by Albacete. They have slipped from the top half of the table to 13th and they will be desperate for points in order to keep away from getting involved with relegation battles. Racing Santander's forwards are in a bad form as they failed to score in their last matches.
:!: Racing seems to play better away than home. They have 8 games at home with a rather poor balance 2-1-5 scoring 7 and concedeing 13. It seems they play better away where they had some great games, against good teams but in front of their home supporters they cannot concentrate enough, and get pretty bad results.


Since the return of Ronaldinho from injury, Barcelona has managed to remain unbeaten in their last 2 starts with a 3 -1 away win over Espanyol and a 1 -1 home draw with Celta Vigo. In his absence in the previous 4 fixtures, Barcelona has lossed 3 and drew 1 without his inspiration in midfield against strong opponents in Villarreal, Valladolid, Malaga and Real Madrid. Surprisingly, the Catalans has performed better playing away this season with 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses as compared to their home form of 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses.
Even if they are considered of being in a bad situtation, i don't see it like that. I have seen some mathces of Bracelona, and believe me, if they get a good day they can beat any team on this planet. Last games prooved that Barcelona is a top team in Spain, and the place they are on is far away from the one they deserve. This year they will fight for the 4th spot, and IMO they'll get it, but they have to win matches like this one, against Racing.

SOOOO...
A bad home team, against a good (and better team) away team.
I think Barcelona should beat the handicap, but a safer pick (0:0) at amazing odds (1.70), DON'T U AGREE?

Take this asian handicap, while the bookies have it
I'm sure that Barca will be given a -1/4 handicap!

So good luck!

Ahonen to win Group of Five @1,85 Centrebet

AHONEN, Janne (FIN) 3. Pick WON
HÖLLWARTH, Martin (AUT) 5.
KASAI, Noriaki (JPN) 6.
SPÄTH, Georg (GER) 10.
LJØKELSØY, Roar (NOR) 19.

Ahonen is first after qualification, Kasai 3., Hoelwarth 4., Spaeth 6., Ljokelsoj 13. The real problem for Janne should be great Pettersen but he's not included in this group made by CB so I see pretty good chance to win this bet. Ahonen hasn't shown all his best so far,had a little bad luck but it's clear that he is well prepared for the tournment. There's always risk of wind etc. and I won't risk much money

Hi all, this my 2nd pick

Athletic Bilbao vs Osasuna

My pick - Osasuna @ 3.75 Priemierbet Bet lost, 1-1 /Per

I don't know too much about soccer, as much as there is three outcomes:
1. Hosts wins; 2. DRAW; 3. Visitors wins.

And odds on visitors I like best :)

Previous meetings :
2003-05-04 Osasuna 1 5 Athl.Bilbao
2002-12-08 Athl.Bilbao 1 3 Osasuna
2002-05-05 Athl.Bilbao 1 1 Osasuna
2001-12-23 Osasuna 0 1 Athl.Bilbao
2001-04-01 Athl.Bilbao 0 1 Osasuna
2000-11-05 Osasuna 1 1 Athl.Bilbao

It looks like there is no Home wins... :roll:

Each time after one team wins away, follows defeat, and then DRAW.
I guess, today this rule gonna change. How? Home win? Maybe not this
time.

Athl.Bilbao at home 6 0 2 ;
Osasuna away 2 4 2

Athl.Bilbao still did not DRAW at home, surelly they will, but I hope not this time.

Last home fixture Osasuna lost unlucky to Zaragosa, but now they will
try get all three points. I'll back Osasuna today 6/10.

What else I can write down? Team A "desperately" needs three points? :lol:

If you think, that is nonsense, back Athl.Bilbao, Draw, or simply
stay away from this. :wink:

Cheers and GL! :arrow:

Result:

===========================================
REASONS


Ok I could not bet on Pao (football team)…I will bet against them (basketball team)!!!!Iraklis is a team that playes good Basketball lately and their style is defensive when they play away!!Pao is always a big challenge for middle teams like Iraklis and they always try hard.The HC is very big and I don’t see Pao covering it.Pao will miss Mujezinovic and without him team plays different.

Conf. 6/10



Good Luck with your choice!!

Football, Primera Division, Spain

Valencia-Villareal 1 ----> 1.55 @expekt Bet won, 4-2

Not much to say, really. Valencia is the stronger of these two teams, and a force to be reckon with at Mestalla. Villareal showed really good form before the christmas break, but I still think that Valencia is at least one class too good for them. The pressure is on for Valencia, there are no room for slip ups in games like this, when Real Madrid is winning game after game and are going like a train at the moment. A motivated strong home team at 1.55, that's good enough for me and this is my pick of the day.

After 2 great picks I'm on the bottom of table with impressive -200 :). In order to keep that position my ick for today is:

YEOVIL TOWN - LIVERPOOL 1X @3.25 in EXPEKT Bet lost, 0-2 /Per

I took Yeovil straight @11.50 !!! myslef, since I see HUGE value there. Liverpool is in deep crisis lately. Although Dudek is a good keeper, nobody appreciates his work. Problems in defence. Owen is in poor form. So is Heskey. Kewell had injury lately... Liverpool is 3-4-2 away, and they've drawn last 3 away games. Huge pression on Gerard Houlier and that never is a good thing.

Yeovil is one of the best team in 3rd division (although beign a newbie) and also one of may favourite english teams :). They are 9-0-3 home and fighting bravely for promotion.

On good day they can beat Liverpool and I hope that today they'll have a bit of luck they need.

Sparta - Šrek, Ton (both injured), Pöpperle, Šindel, Vondrá***269;ek, Hromas (all U20)

Results
Vitkovice home 9-3-5 (50:37); Last 5: WLWLW
Sparta away 8-0-9 (41:42); Last 5: WWWLL

H2H results
History:
overall: 3-7-19
Vitkovice home: 2-2-10

This season:
Vitkovice - Sparta 0-1
Sparta - Vitkovice 5-0

Match comments:
Vitkovice in relatively good form at the moment but Sparta seems to be nightmare for them. Very bad H2H stats with them and in addition in two games this season they didn't score a single goal... Sparta is getting to good form, going from three consecutive away wins plus successful Prague derby with Slavia. Almost no missing problems compared with previous period. Sparta is very slight favourite of this game but the only value I was able to find here is in bet on draw. Majority of bookies don't have better odds than 4.0 so 4.45 by Nordicbet looks very good. Sparta didn't make an away draw so far in Czech Extraliga (in 17 games!) also Vitkovice are without draw in last seven home games even in general they have 12 draws in 35 games (what's quite high number). Expectation of draw result are high (odds on draw are going down at Czech bookmakers now are between 3.2-3.6) and surely there's a chance that Sparta will make first tie in away game this season. First game at Vitkovice's ice finished as close 1-0 win of Sparta. It's always risky to take draw in hockey but it's the best value in todays games IMO.

Wow, tahoma has done some policework this morning - good going!

Still, for me to find Barca this late would have been too much to ask for anyway... But I think I need a pick today in order to keep the rate up.

Swedish Bandy, Bollnäs-Ljusdal 1 @1,40 with Unibet. Bet won, 6-0

The table says it all really, Ljusdal is not going to make 4th spot which is all that matter right now. Bollnäs is on 4th with Broberg just behind on goal differance, and with two games left before the series split it's obvious that Bollnäs has to keep the pressure up.
No problems for Bollnäs in the squad either, while Ljusdal has important player Maxim Potechkin missing.
Still it is essentially a motivational affair and Bollnäs has all of that.

My 2nd POTD from Spain Primera:

Espanyol v Mallorca under 2.5 (1.9 at gamebookers) Bet won, 2-0 /Per

Espanyol it is very necessary to take points in this match and it has an excellent chance to make it because there will be no leader of mallorca Samuel Eto'o. In this season player has already scores eight balls in the championship of Spain, becoming the fifth sniper of superiority. Besides in three games which have been lead in the Cup of UEFA. We shall note also, that Eto'O it is constantly involved in games for combined team of the country. The football player acted and on a recent Cup of Confederations, having hammered there one ball.
Mallorca in this match will try to play first of all at defense. Predicted result of game 0-0, 1-0, 1-1.

Can someone take away win from 1X2 when AH 0:0 away win was taked ?
And you dont take stake on draw ?

Yes timelord, they can. This is because the bets are different, you'll of course get a refund with a draw for the asian 0:0 bet, this means the price on the awayw in will be lower, as you don't risk as much.

It's was a very bad luck with yesterdays pick because Jokerit equalized the game just 1.23 left in 3rd period...JYP managed to win the match in overtime anyway. Today I'll try soccer

Boavista - Uniao Leiria Draw @ 3,60 (WillHill)

There are many aspects which are clearly showing that this will be a low scoring match and draw is definitely not out of the question. Actually very probable I think.

Boavista are 5 and Leiria 7 matches without a draw so it's about time to play a statistical draw. Boavista 5 games without a draw is quite a surprise because they usually play low scoring games and last season was ruined because of too many draws. This season they have already played 5 draws in 15 matches.
Leiria plays much more high scoring matches usually but today I think they will be very happy to play defensive and go just for a draw. Their away record isn't the best at the moment and they have lost 5 away games in a row but all of them against a good home team.

Just look at the history between the teams...4 goals in last 5 matches. I don't have team news and this is purely a stats based pick so be careful.

26th May 03 Boavista v U. Leiria 0-1
4th Jan 03 U. Leiria v Boavista 1-0
9th Feb 02 U. Leiria v Boavista 0-1
15th Sep 01 Boavista v U. Leiria 1-0
28th Jan 01 U. Leiria v Boavista 0-0

Good luck!

Ath. Bilbao-Osasuna, home win, @2.10,(www.expect.com). Bet lost, 1-1 /Per

Bascian "hot", but always, "friendly" derby. Why friendly?
Three years ago Osasuna took four points(away win and home draw), two years ago Bilbao took four points(away win and home draw) and last year they "shared" three points each(both away wins!!!).
Bilbao are expecting very "hard" matches after this one: away with Atl. Madrid, again away with Barcelona and, at home against Deportivo !!!
Osasuna play at home with Sevilla, again at home with Albacete and away with Valencia.
Bilbao is on 8-th position, 2-3 points ahead rivals for UEFA spot, and this is "must" and very probable, I dare to say, easy "win" against Osasuna.
Bilbao's home record is "amasing": W6, D0, L2, GD 13-5 !!!
Take also into consider statement of Aquirre, Osasuna's coach, they are not "created" to play in Europe-they will be satisffy with 8-15-th place on the table!!!

Weity
04-01-04, 12:47
Sevilla (-1 AH) - Albacete - 1 @ 2.15 (Gamebookers) 2:0 - bet won :lol:

I see Sevilla as much better team than Albacete. After two away loses it's time for Sevilla to win again and get some points and higher position in the table. They deserve to be in top 10 and not on 13th spot where they are at the moment. Sevilla is better at home than away and they have a solid record at home (4-2-2) and let me remind you that they crashed Real Madrid 4:1 here...
Albacete is unbeaten in last 5 games and that is a surprise for me as I don't rank them higher than relegation candidates and I think it's time for them to lose. They are poor in away matches (1-1-6) and they should prove that again tonight.
So I think that fully motivated Sevilla in front of home fans should win this one easily. I think they can win with two goals or more.

Good luck! :wink:

after first succesful pick id like to risk a bit at higher odds, and though i consider arsenal 2 the safest for today i take the following:

Valladolid - Real Betis 2 @3,15 Expekt Bet lost, 0-0 /Per


Reasoning follows:
1. Away peformance: Betis is much better away team with 3-1-4 record away (W vs Celta,Saragosa,Sociedad) while 1-5-3 home. Valladolid has very good record of 5-2-1 home but has played till now with all small (Murcia D,Albacete W,Espanyol W,Santander L) , some medium Malaga W,Bilbao W,Atletico W and has drawn vs Coruna.

2. Motivation: Betis is stuck down 16 in the table only 3 above relegation rival Sociedad! Last two results were home defeats vs Villareal and Valencia. Would go for win in Valladolid to improve position while Valladodid is more than happy with 10 position and 24 points till now! Last result was a major 3-1 away win in Sociedad. I bet they were more relaxed in the holidays while Betis worked harder!!

3. Team news: Valadolid wont field some of their best players and dont know how deep is their squad to replace them: Without Def. Julio Cezar -Alberto Marquez and main strike force first scorer Bakukula and D.Souza! These are significant loses while Betis will be missing Palermo, Lembo and Asuncao but long term striker Alfonso will come back on the bench.But Betis will feature not bad duo Dani and Capri upfront and could use Alfonso during game!

There is sure value in this pick and though spain is not my best league ill try it! good luck 8)

So, seeing that Barcelona straight win pick was dissalowed... i am going to jump on it.

I regard Barca to be one of the best teams in Primera talentwise, so at these odds it is a very good pick away to a not so good side as Racing, Kluivert is suspended, which gives Saviola that extra chance to prove to Rijkard that he is very good. Barca has a very wide squad to replace all its suspended and injured players.. Same cant be said about Racing, which will miss a couple of important players. Risky bet but worth at these odds.
So, Racing - Barcelona Pick 2 @ 2.55 @ Centrebet Bet lost, 3-0 /Per

Ciudad de Murcia - Malaga B
Spanish Segunda Liga

Ciud. Murcia
-12th place overall (4-9-4)
-12th place home (2-5-1)

Malaga B
-21st place overall (2-6-9)
-21st place away (1-2-5)

Ciud. Murcia :arrow: after 3 consecutive loses (2 away with Home table 1st Numancia and 2nd Cadiz, and at home with Away table 2nd Eibar), Ciud. Murcia continued with the good games - 7pts in 3matches (2 away)
Ciud. Murcia is not a bad team. Except this 3 loses in games with strong teams, they have lost only once from 14 matches.
In Copa del Rey Ciud. Murcia beated Numancia (1st place in the league) away with 1-0. Next round they met Barcelona (with Ronaldinho and Saviola) and holded them scoring only 1 goal in 75min.

Malaga B :arrow: after moment of gleam (the 2 consecutive and only wins in the season; but they were not a big achievement - at home with Xerez (18th away) and visiting Ejido (19th home)), now Malaga B is back to their weak performance - 1pt in 3games
Malaga B is crap in my opinion. I have made some money betting against them.

Starting line-ups (Marca):
Ciudad de Murcia: Tete; Manel, Labaka, Edu Serrano, Lasa; Robles, Hector Font, Camunas, Aguilar; Turu Flores y Guiza.
Malaga B: Lara; Manolo, Cesar Navas, Mario, Alexis; Juanma, Ivan Hernandez, Nacho, Calderon; Geijo y Merino.
Referee: Carlos Delgado Ferreiro (C. Vasco)
Stadium: La Condomina

Comment:
Ciud. Murcia will try to begin the new year with victory and continue with the good results. They have all their important players, the only absencewill be Timpani (defense) and Falcon (midfield). Inexperienced in the division Malaga B will be an easy prey.
I see Ciudad de Murcia winning here and the price is good.

Pick: Ciudad de Murcia @ 1.95 (Centrebet)

Pick 1

Malaga-Sociedad HT/FT 1/1 3.20 Interwetten FT 2/2 BET LOST

I think the TOP pick of the day is Malaga's home win.Since its taken I prefer the win from first half and I explain:

Malaga at home

8 games 5-2-1
Only loss from Real Madrid
5 wins but 4 of them from first half (Barca,Sevilla,Zaragoza,Celta)
5/8 games Malaga scored at first half and in all of them they won.
3/8 they didnt score at first half , they didnt win...

So stats say that if Malaga wins,this is very probable will be from first half...

Sociedad away

7/8 games concede a goal...BUT only in 3/8 they concede a goal at first half...Thats a negative point...

I hope Malaga's home advantage will be too hard for Sociedad today, so I pick the 1/1 HT/FT bet.

My pick is from the Czech ice-hockey league:

HC VITKOVICE - HC SPARTA PRAGUE 2 @ 2,10 by Gamebookers

- great analysis about this match is above, written by Prague, but he took dangerous draw. Right now Sparta is probably playing best hockey in the leage, key player Ujcik recovered himself from injury recently and since that time they play very good hockey. Sparta's head coach is missing, because he is with young national team in Finnland on the WC, but it is no problem for the team, as we can see from last two results: Liberec - Sparta 1:6 and Sparta - Slavia 3:2. In my opinion Vitkovice has no chance against Sparta tonight. Last two head to head matches won Sparta as well (5:0 at home and 1:0 away).

Formerly I wanted to take Pilsen win against Karlovy Vary, but the odds are only 1,95, so I decided for Sparta:-) Anyway Pilsen is going to win as well as Sparta today.

04-01-04, 14:11
My pick for today:
Guimaraes v Amadora HT/FT 1/1 2,50 at Bet365

Playing two bottom-standing teams...
17. Guimaraes 2-5-8 16-23
18. Amadora 2-1-12 10-40

Guimaraes at home: 2-3-2 10-8
Amadora away: 0-0-7 4-25

Last 6 games:
Guimaraes: 0-4-2 7-9
Amadora: 1-0-5 6-17

Previous games:
2001-04-08 Amadora 0-2 Guimaraes
2000-11-06 Guimaraes 4-0 Amadora

Guimaraes:
Last 3 home games: 0-3-0 5-5
Guimaraes - P.Ferreira 1-1
Guimaraes - Alverca 2-2
Guimaraes - Maritimo 1-1

Amadora:
Last 3 away games: 0-0-3 3-9

Guimaraes play much better at home than Amadora away.
And Amadora scored only 4 goals in 7 away games (all 7 lost)

I think, very possible sure home win.

Good Luck!

Athletic Bilbao - Osasuna 0:1 Home win @ 3.7 at gamebookers

Osasuna a tipical low scoring team against a team with individuals like Tiko , Yeste , Ezquerro or Etxeberria doesn't has a chance in an away match . Yes it's a derby match , but without Bakayoko , their top scorer the team from Pamplona won't come out with a positive result .

Washington Wizard vs Milwaukee Bucks: Home win @ 2.19 Expekt

The Wizards are back since they blew out the warriors on friday. Their record isnt very good but since friday I see good potential in the Wizards to beat the Bucks at home.

The Bucks also had a nice win against the mavericks friday (which I didnt expect at all). they have lost their last 3 road games by a minimum of 9 points each. they are 5-12 away from home.

I favor the Wizards to win today since I think they are a better team and starting this year good, gl.

Hello!

The I've started I'm probably gonna set a negative record, but...they say that hope dies last so I'll keep on trying! Well my pick for today is:


Washington - Milwaukee 1 2,2 Gamebookers


The reason why I'm picking this one is first of all the price. I think that 2,2 should mean that the Bucks are far better than the Wizards, but I don't think so! The Bucks are 5-12 on the road and they have lost 6 of their last 7 games away. It's true that their last game was a big win against Dallas 109-101 (two players set season high in scoring), but overall I don't think that they are that much of a better team than WAS. The last meeting between teams was won by WAS over OT 114-109. So they are quite equal, but the Wizards were then still playing without there best player at the moment Gilbert Arenas (18,9 PPG and 5,2 APG in 16 games). Wizards first game of the year was a so much needed win against Golden State 97-79, and I sure hope they'll carry the momentum into tonight's game and get a 10th win of the season! Well all in all I think it's a great offer by the bookies cause the price at 2,2 is quite high and it's worth taking! I'll try it and we'll see! I just hope someone else agrees with me, otherwise don't listen to me cause I've had no luck so far in the 2004 :) :) :)!

I wish you all the best of luck!

Well than I guess I'll have to try another NHL over/under:

Washington - Montreal OVER 5 1,83 Gamebookers


Washington has the second worse defense in the league, but they also score alot of goals (100-130 in 40 games). And Montreal does like to play open against teams like that. The previous three games between teams ended 1-5, 3-5, 3-2. So I hope the trend will continue tonight. Besides that the last 3 home games Monreal won with outscoring the opponents 14-6 (5-1, 4-1, 5-4) and Washington's last game was a loss to Ottawa 5-2! So we see that the teams like to play open, so their games are usually high scoring games! Lady luck please turn my way!

Good luck!

Valencia win by one goal (draw hcp) @ 3.75 sportingbet

I hope pick count. I strongly believe in win of Valencia here. Is in crazy form , has not squad problems and plays at Mestaja. I do not think that will give it up. Villareal plays good soccer lately but this is not enough to win Valencia at home , but only to make it a bit difficult. That is why I pick win by one goal. I think there is big value in the price.

My second pick is from NHL:

Washington Capitals - Montreal Canadiens --- at 2.8 (Pinnacle)

I know that Capitals is just not a good team now and are playing badly, but they do have some talent and have to start winning games eventually and why not start today in Montreal. The key here is Montreal won their last game and they haven't won back to back games in 12! tries. I think Yagr will have a big game and Capitals will get out of Canada with a win or a tie(money back:)

Final score prediction: Washington - Montreal 3-1

Hello!
Pick N3 (currently +247 2/2)
*Sacramento not to score over 109,5 points v Seattle (Bet365) @1.83
A NBA cracker which took a lot of interest tonight, Satyr already took my choice (perhaps I could take +9,5 since he took +10 on Seattle, but it would be stupid)- good luck to you!
So I decided to do an interesting bet, bet365 are offering on their props tonight: Sacramento under 109,5!
It took my interest at once and as I checked statistics, it looked even better! Kings managed to score more than 109 points on only 3 occasions in last 15 games! And Seattle recieved more than 109 only twice in last 16 games! So, statisticly, it looks OK!
Now, to the game.
Kings managed to score just over 55% against Clippers and they scored 116 points there, but I am sure, they will have more problems in attack against Sonics, I expect their average to fall just under 50%, which will surely mean at tleast 10 points less!

Ray Allen in superb form (avg 28.3 points after return and Sonics 4-1 in that period) and hes SuperSOnics will stop Sacramento, give them a hard night and prevent them scoring over 109!!
Good luck!!

I dont think this one is taken.
It is a few to look over but i cant find it.
Maybe no one believs in Colorado this night.
I do!
It is time for a colorado home-win.
It is defenetly time for a Minnesota away-loss.
NO GOOD REASON.
I agree.BUT

Last time they met the Minnesota keeper (Rolson , I think)save 37 shots.
I dont think that happen again.

COLORADO is one of the best three teams.
Minnesota is one of the worst five teams. (I think)
To get 1,77 on Colorado on home ice against Minnesota is good-veeery good.
COLORADO@1,77---unibet

Hi guys!

I just have a question for moderators. My pick of the day was over 5 in Montreal - Washington game and the score was 4:1 so total of 5 goals. What does that mean in our competition. My real bet is still open, just my total odd went down for the chosen game? Thanx!

Your pick is voided which means no changes of your score or your number of picks.

The purpose of the competition is to help other people with good picks, not to show your "skills". Since no one had any use of your pick yesterday, I will of course not count it.
