View Full Version : Pick of the day 9/4
I just had a quick look at yesterday's topic and I saw many successful picks there! I hope you keep it that way! Koffieboer will update the picks when all games have finished.
I decided to make a change for the minimum odd limit. From now on you can choose a pick with odds between 1.40 and 3.50. The reason for this change is just that I think there are some good "bankers" at price 1.40 and 1.45. I also recieved some suggestions about changing it to 1.30, but that's too low in my opinion.
I have checked today's games, but I'm still not convinced to choose a pick yet, so I'll write it later.
This one will be from the Champions league:
Inter Milan - Valencia - 2
Odds: 3.60 Bookie: Centrebet
Valencia have proven many times that they can win difficult away matches to strong home sides. We remember them beating Liverpool (0-1), Roma (0-1). They can play stable football away from home, they deffinitely are not disturb by the fact that are playing on a 80.000 seat stadium roaring against them. On the other hand they had some embarrasing home defeats. Inter are going on the edge at the moment but their play is not that consistent (the match with Roma was a proof to that), they can make some stupid mistakes. The form in the Championship has never been so decisive for Valencia as their main target will be, at last, to win this trophy and deservedly crowned Champions of Europe.

My bet will be in the same game as one-two but I will make another bet.
Inter - Valencia Under 2.5 odds 1.80 @ SportingBet
This game will be very hard for both teams. Inter defense is very strong but their forwards play very bad against big teams like Barcelona for example. So I think Inter won't score a lot of goals as home team and Valencia as away team also don't usually score a lot of goals.
Juventus v Barcelona - (Asian Handicap) +0.5 Barcelona
2.05 @ Bet365
Juventus have Trezeguet out through injury and Nedved, their best player, is doubtful but i'm sure will play. Barca have some doubts of their own with De Boer but this man lives for games like these and will not miss. It is likely that Juve will have the father's club (Ferrara and Montero) playing in the back and this to me will be their downfall, as the nippy Saviola will be lurking.
If your one for stats, Barcelona have quite a good record of 5-5-3 when playing in Italy.
To be safe, I'm going for Barca to get atleast a draw here.
hie,
imo, pick of the day for today would be as follow :
Dundee vs Falkirk ( home win at 1.80 with William Hills )
Simple reason, Dundee is a more experienced team and plays
better than Falkirk.
NHL playoffs 2003 are starting today and I'll place my bet (other NHL preditions on main site of bettingadvice.com):
OTTAWA Senators (-1.5) - NEW YORK Islanders (+1.5); pick: 1 / odds: 1.83 at G' Bookers
This is a match between the best team in NHL league (if looking only the standings; I'm not sure if they are better than some teams from Western conference, I rate them in the top 3 category) and the worst team in the East. Ottawa finished the 2002/2003 season in style, winning the President's Trophy (awarded for best team in the league with most points) and beating several playoff teams. The Islanders had some luck to get in the playoffs, NY Rangers played bad in their last (decisive) games and Islanders can also thank them to reach (at least) the first round of playoffs. Islanders were awful the last couple of games, winning only against lowly Carolina, who was out of the playoff contention for weeks. HOOPS is 100% right, when he says that Ottawa has greater chance of advancing in the second round. In my opinion they win the series 4-0 (which is very unlikely though) or 4-1. Ottawa plays very good at home, the Islanders are not that good away. Snow or Di Pietro (NY goalies) will get some goals form Ottawa's players. NY might score once or twice, but I expect Ottawa to control the game and play attacking hockey as they were playing it the whole season and week defence from the Islanders.
good luck!

Good morning folks,
today I pick Turkish cup match:
Rizespor v Genclerbirligi 2 1.75 @ WillHill
some predictions:
here (http://www.asianhandicap.com/Bruger/Tip.asp?Id=5679&Bruger=Orpenk) and here (http://www.bahisklavuz.com/english/ulkeler/turkey.php)
Ero!
Brøndby - FC Kobenhavn 1 2,35 at Nordicbet
Cup match between th two best Danish teams, Brøndby have been very good after the winterbreak and have no major injuries and will play their best crew, FCK will miss Mykland and Christiansen and have not been so good after the winter break and they have not very good statestic in their away matches against Brøndby the last years (1win 1draw 4loses) I cant see why thay should do it better today if their continuing with the play they have shown after the long winter break.
My pick of the day will be from Turkish cup:
Rize - Genclerbirligi - 2/2 2.50 @wettpunkt
I think that Gencler are too strong for the lower division Rize, remember that they defeated Besiktas in the last round of the competition.
of course today s best p'ck 's about turkish cup.genclerbirligi with high stake.but my pick is again a little bit risky like yesterday.my pick of the day is MALATYA-TRABZON 0 3.2@ sportingbet
both teams want the title very much.it will be very hard for them.malatyaspor is a great home team.they eliminated galatasaray last round at ali sami yen and trabzon eliminated second league team 7/1 at trabzon.both teams will be playin controlled match.they must be careful.th's 's a one match eliminate system.i think extra time or penalties will choose the finalist.if u want more eas'er choose gencler
good luck to all
Hi
Two picks were correct ,so it's time to lose ? No :)
Wisla Krakow-Legia Warsaw 1,90 1 [Expekt]
(such a nice odds,some bookies offers only 1,4 !!!)
Very important and interesting match which can decide who will be out of race for polish championship .The loser in this match will have real problems to get first place in league.Ok ,Wisla will play with full squad and will play at home so these are two advantages for Krakow.Marcin Baszczy***324;ski, Arkadiusz G***322;owacki, Angelo Hugues, Marcin Ku***378;ba and Maciej ***379;urawski these all players will play so i expect home win.It won't be easy beacuse Legia is good team ,but Wisla's going to take a revenge after 2-3 defeat in Warsaw,and they will be very motivate to beat arch-rivals from capitol .Home win here.
Hi Hi
My pick today is Shrewsbury (0)- Wrexham (0) 2 @1,8 Planet Pinnacle
Shrewsbury, a relegation candidate, in position 22 is playing host to Wrexham in position 4 of the English 3rd division. Wrexham's record is 16-15-8, almost as many draws as wins, with 62 goals for and 46 goals against, they have 2 games in hand and can get up to third place with the win tonight. The home team's record is the opposite, with almost as many draws as loses, 9-14-15 and 53 goals for and 70 against, they are only three points above Exeter but they have three games in hand. Both teams badly want to win this match because of their league positions. It seems that the better team is Wrexham and we will most probably have an away win in this match. Last match between these 2 teams ended with a 3-3 draw. From its latest away matches Wrexham seems to be a strong away competitor. I will take the away bet, but in this case, because of the many draws by both of these teams, I will take asian handicap and get my stake back if there is a draw.
Goodmorning
My pick for today is
Inter-Valencia total bookings between 25 and 45 points incl.@ 2,80 g/b
I think that there will be at least 3 yellow cards in this match
G luck 2 all of you
my pick of the day is:denmark cup
Midtjyland-Esbjerg: 1 2.00 (bet-at-home)
i`m new here,so don´t be angry at me. I pick that game just because recently they played and the outcome of the game was 2:0.
by my opinion this would be win again for home side who has four victories at the row.this is a cup game but i think that the home side is the better team.

Hi guys..
I tottally agree with Sonny...
My pick of the day is from Polish league:
Wisla Krakow-Legia Warsaw HT/FT 1/1 (Expekt - 2,95)
It's the Wisla's day!!!
My pick of the day:
ATP Estoril: Calleri - Nieminen @1.55 Interwetten
H2H 1-0 2002 Bastad(clay) 6-1 6-4
Local opponents(with wildcard) for both in first round, but while Calleri won easily 6-1 6-0,Nieminen lost the first set against Helder Lopes 4-6 6-1 6-1. The argentinian with very good results on clay this year(QF in Vina del Mar, winner in Acapulco) has the first chance against Nieminen.

My pick for 9/4/2003 is Juventus-Barcellona X2-1.69-GAMEBOOKERS
================================================== ======================
9/4/2003
------------
20:45 Juventus-Barcellona 2(X) / 2-3.65 / 2X-1.69
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUALIFIED:Barcellona
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus isn't in a good moment.
They suffered last saturday in the derby against a weak Torino
and Torino failed an incredible chanche to draw in the final part
of the match.
You have to add that Trezeguet is out,Di Vaio is out,perhaps
also Nedved is out,and Juventus has only Zalayeta and Del Piero
in forward line.
I think that this forward line isn't absolutely enough to win against
Barcellona.
Barcellona is in good moment and they are interesterd only in
Champions,because they had bad results in Liga in this season.
Barcellona won 13 matches in 14 played in Champions 2002-2003
and think that they can win also in Torino.
I think that Juventus will draw if they will do a careful defensive
match,but they may also lost at hom e if they will prove to win
with a team and a forward line absolutely unable to win against
Barca.
================================================== ======================
There has been a quite time since italian clubs shined in the CL. I think this is their season in the Europe.Expected result last night in Amsterdam approved my opinion.But Juve has much harder job.Barcelona took everything on CL.At the same time Juve is offloaded in Serie A because they increased the difference between teams from Milano.And on Saturday it`s Milan-Inter on program.So Juve can give 100% tonight. They are very strong at home side. And for Barcelona I think that they must work one more year{at least} with Radomir Antic, to become a serious challengers for the trophy. I think Juve will win, but I`ll take
Asian h. Juve-Barcelona 0:1/4 1 1.93 Pointbet
Rizespor - Genclerbirligi 0:1 2 AH @ 2.15 on Fonbet
This 3rd pick on this match but on different way. My choice is Asian handicap, because Genclerbirligi most attacking team in Turkey and if they win they will win for more than 1 goal.
About match there is same info as at post by ero. So I don't repeat links.
I think there is no question about quality, only problem I see is that this is cup match and there can be many suprises. But in thi case I think Genclerbirligi is hungry of titles and main goal for Rizespor is promotion.
Sorry, last pick was from me...
Rizespor - Genclerbirligi 0:1 2 AH @ 2.15 on Fonbet
This is my pick of the day
The second stake of the month will be an U/O.
At home, Stoke has 6-5-8 (20-24) for 19 games. That means 1,05-1,26 goals per game.
Away, Rotheram has 7-3-9 (33-32) for 19 games. That means 1,73-1,68 goals per game.
Both teams give us an avg of 1,37-1,50.
Stoke for the last 3 home games had 3 under with just 1 goal scored (0-1, 1-0, 0-0).
Rotheram at the same time, away, had 3-0, 2-0, 1-1
Their history (2 games -28/12/92 and 23/9/01) gives 2 Unders (2-0 and 1-1).
The current position of Stoke is just on the relegation line and, on the other hand, Rotheram, being in the middle of the chart, seems to be uninterested.
Being Stoke one of the most tight teams of the league at home (along with Sheffild U) and having and indifferent Rotheram on the other side, I believe there be a closed game that leans to the home team, so the bet for tonight is...
Stoke v Rotherham.......UNDER...1,70 (G/Bs)
GOOD LUCK to your choises
i think some picks are same about genclerbirligi.what love to gencler.choose some different matches hard matches and proof your quality

Wrexham - W D D D D W W L D W D W D W L D
Wrexham current place in table - 3.Division 4 (63 pst)

ATP CASABLANCA
Meligeni-Arazi
Meligeni @ 2 at EXPEKT
Arazi (a winner here in '97, yet just 3-10 on clay in '02) has the home crowd on his side but by his own admission is not playing anywhere near his best tennis at the moment. Coming off the emotional high of the weekend Davis Cup action, he struggled to put away local wildcard Tahiri in a marathon second set breaker yesterday, so one might expect this to be much tougher. Meligeni did the job for us yesterday against an ill-prepared Clement and he has the handy 3-1 head-to-head (all on clay) advantage
(Source onthepunt.net)
hi,
my pick for the day is,
juve-barsa 1 /1.9 Eurobet/
today barsa will lose for the first time in CL. :wink:
I'll give a chance for Nieminen and I bet he will win today in ATP Estoril:
Calleri v. Nieminen 2 @ 2,35 (Expekt)
My pick is in opposite to Erwin, one of us will win! :) I think both tennis players have the same chance to win today and higher odd is for Nieminen. He won in this year games against Kafelnikov and Dupuis, so he has the opportunity to win against Calleri too. Problems in first round are over in my opinion. First round was an 'warm up' round :). I think Nieminen will try the advantage of too relaxed Calleri.
Two picks lost... :oops:
Back In Action to win @ 2.75 with Gamebookers
Horce Racing Lingfield 13:50
Back in Action has the best form in this line up. Good winners, so try it.
Very bad start for me in this competition :(
Anyway let's see if we are a bit more lucky today:
SAVIOLA TO SCORE ANY GOAL @2.65 (GAMEBOOKERS)
I think that the style of the game of barcelona (i.e counterattacks) will suit best to Saviola to score in the match. I personally believe that Barcelona can gain some point(s) tonight and can score. If this happens Saviola will probably be the scorer as Kluivert is not the as good as Saviola is, in counterattcks.
GOOD LUCK PPL! :D
Odra - Zaglebie OVER 2.5@1.70
;) GOOD LUCK ;)
My tip for today is from Germany - Regional League North.
Borussia Dortmund (Amateurs) - Dynamo Dresden 1 @ 1.95 at Betandwin
Dortmund is a little bit better team than Dynamo, with much better attack. Dortmund is 6. with one point advantage in front of Dynamo who is 7. So this is direct battle for sixth place. With this win Dortumnd can also catch the teams from top of the table. Also Dynamo should miss few players, while Dortumnd should play with its full squad. This should be homewin.
Good luck to you all !

Kojic: you can't score points without comments on the pick. This is an obligation, because this is not a place where contestants battle for the first place in the competition, but a place where you can point others to interesting bets and in return read a lot of analyses for other matches. Give one, take many. If the arguments of someone have convinced you, you can follow that pick. But match comments on every pick are necessary.
My Pick Of The Day:
Horna - Boutter
ATP @Casablanca. Clay. 15:00 CET
1.55 @ Gamebookers
These players have never played each other at an ATP or Grand Slam event before, but you can easily see 22 year old Horna as the favourite. Horna, currently at 77th position, is a good player clay-player. He has already played some good tournaments in southamerica this year and proved his form recently. Boutter (No.187) had to qualify for the tournament first. He had only some good results at Challengers (he won at Barletta) so far this year. Horna will be too strong for Boutter in any case.
Hi! My best pick for today is (HHL playoffs)Dallas - Edmonton - 1 1.63 with globet. See the coments at: http://www.bettingadvice.com/showPredictionsLeague
Hello!
Where can the table with our stats be seen? :)
lucas
Odra-Zaglebie OVER 2.5@1.70.....expekt
Odra is in excelent run with 5 wins in a row,they have excelent home record(w7-d1-l1) and very good goal diff(23:10).There is 3.05 goals per game in their matches,and on the other side there is 3.53 goals in Zaglebie's matches.Odra scored goals in 89% matches at home,2.56 per game.So I think OVER should be very good choice in this match.I see something like 2:1,3:1,3:0 for home side.
Let's hope I'll continue good streak from yesterday!
;) GOOD LUCK ;)

INTER-VALENCIA HOME WIN AT @2.2
Arbiter Elegantiarum
09-04-03, 12:53
Amica Widzew 1 odds: 1.65 @ Gamebookers
My prediction as always in Polish Section of Betteingadvice (http://bettingadvice.com/showPredictionsLeague.php?idMenu=119)
This time I'll try with Copa Libertadores
Racing - Nacional 1/1 ht/ft 2.80 centrebet
I think that Racing is stronger than Nacional, they have already won 2-1 in Uruguay and a victory over Nacional at home can give Racing first place in this group. The winner of this group will avoid Santos in next round, and this is a further motivation for this match.
I expect a fast start of Racing trying to secure result in first half.
Good luck to everybody :wink:

09-04-03, 13:10
WTA Charleston Ruano Pascual - Craybas 1 Gamebookers@1.45
Ruano is better on clay than Craybas. Ruano played an excellent Australian Open, not not many tournaments afterwards. Maybe a little injured, but the 64 63 in the previous round was okay. H2H 1-0 to Ruano, she should defeat Craybas here on clay. Craybas lost in the first round of the qualification last week to a wild card ranked 200+. That's bad, but she beat Krasnoroutskaya in the first round here.
I editted because I initially made a pick that is played tomorrow.
My pick of the day is Stoke-Rotherham 1. (2.10-GAMEBOOKERS )
The reason I choose this one is that wihth a win stoke could go above Brighton who played one match more.Stoke aren't such a good team but motivation will play a big part here.Rotherham on the other hand will play just for themselfs as they have no worries.In their last mach stoke drew 0-0 at home to Gillingham which like rotherham also have no worries but now stoke will win.
Slavia - Pardubice...UNDER 5.5 goals with 1.45 at Interwetten.
Series are tied 1-1 after two games and this match will be probably key as the winner will have great advantage. So careful defensive tactics is expected at both sides. The home rink of Slavia is one of the smallest and there are ussually more fights than scoring opportunities. UNDER 5.5 seems to be safe bet to me (of course with low odds).
I'm a bit late again to choose soccer picks...so let's take one from NHL Play-offs.
Ottawa-NY Islanders 1 @ 1,7 (Expekt)
Huge odds for Ottawa at Euro-Tip...what are they thinking 8O
Average odds for this on the market is around 1,45
from NHL.com
The Islanders, meanwhile, won just six of their final 22 games, backing into the Playoffs only because those teams chasing them -- Montreal and the Rangers -- could not put together a winning run of their own. Mike Peca, the team's captain, has struggled mightily down the stretch and their goaltending situation is muddled, at best, since moving Chris Osgood at the trading deadline.
On paper, The Presidents' Trophy-winning Senators are a far superior team, having finished 30 points ahead of the Isles in the standings. Ottawa possesses a high-octane offense almost unrivaled in the League and a goaltender in Patrick Lalime that deserves serious consideration for the Vezina Trophy.
That game plan will put an additional onus on the Islanders' defensemen. New York has one of the most mobile and creative defensive corps in the League. Aucoin, Hamrlik, Niinimaa and Jonsson are all potential game breakers from the blue line.
--------------------------------------------------------
Both team get some experience before the trade deadline but I think that the Senators has much more better team in general. Another big advantage for Senators is goalies. Inslanders duo Snow and DiPietro practically has no experience from play-offs and they traded Chris Osgood to the Blues just before the deadline...I just wonder why :o
Senators #1 goalie Patrick LaLime was amazine last yeas in the Series againts The Flyers...and he has a big role for the Senators plan for the the Cup.

today:
Wisla Plock - Lech 1 2.10 with unibet
prediction in bettingadvice poland section (as Tomasz)
basket, Euroleague
CSKA Moscow (-7) v Efes Pilsen (+7) 1 @ 1,90 (ladbrokes)
margin for homeside: at least 8 points.
standings with 2 matches to play:
Cska Mosca 6
Efes Pilsen Istanbul 6
Cibona Zagabria 4
Unicaja Malaga 0
in this group there is a rush in which margins will be decisive. situation is:
Efes Pilsen Istanbul-Cibona Zagabria 68 - 62
Cska Mosca-Cibona Zagabria 79 - 69
Efes Pilsen Istanbul-Cska Mosca 71 - 69
Cibona Zagabria-Efes Pilsen Istanbul 82 - 75 (dts)
as you can see, winning by 3 or more CSKA may join Final Four if Cibona loses against Malaga. if Cibona wins tonight it's possible a 3 way tie in which turkish side's hope are rather low. so, a win by 3 is an imperative for russians.
in this competition CSKA score in home matches is 9/0, the lowest margin is 7 points against Olympiakos in 1st phase.
on the other side, Efes Pilsen in away matches has 4/5, having won only in Berlin, Bologna (Skipper), Pau Orthez, Malaga, all teams certainly not at CSKA level. Till now, Efen Pilsen cannot be considered as a dangerous away team.
one great CSKA problem may be Darius Songaila's absence (cold); coach Ivkovic consider not probable Songaila will play, but it sounds to me like a tactic.

good luck to all.
My pick for today is:
Juventus v Barcelona (0 : 0)ASIAN---->2(2.60-GB)
What can i say about my pick??Juventus appears as unstable to me the last month(win against weakest Torino was partly lucky) and has some serious players out!Barca is not much better because they are in deep trouble in their League because they are 11 points from Valencia (which is the 4th team to make it to the CHL).So thats a do or die sittuation for them cause if they lose then i cant see how will they manage to overcome a massive defence like Juves is in camp nu!So i bet that Kluivert and Saviola will have a party and Puyol will be in a VERY good night:))I think that Juves CHL year will end tonight(BUT these are my thoughts and could be wrong)
Hi,
today Dundee v Falkirk
bourne wrote:
"Dundee win - simple reason, Dundee is a more experienced team and plays better than Falkirk"
I take another way and I think Falkirk will be succesfuly today:
Dundee v Falkirk :arrow: 2 :arrow: 4,25 GB
greatings
apriori
My pick of the day:
United States, NHL Stanley Cup - Toronto Maple Leafs - Philadelphia Flyers - Under 4.5 @ 1.95 with Sportingbet (2.07 with Pinnacle)
Philadelphia is a bit stronger team than Toronto. Toronto will miss Gilmour, Wesley and probably Sundin. Most likely there will be less than 4.5 goals made in this game (a draw?).
My pick for today:
Austria (Memphis Cup)
SV Mattersburg v GAK Graz :arrow: 2 :arrow: 2.10 at Gamebookers
SV Mattersburg - first in Erste Division with 11-1-1 and 26-3 at home!
Great results!
BUT...
GAK Graz - 3rd in max.Bundesliga with 2-8-3 and 18-16 away
GAK lose 3/12 away games!!!
AND...
GAK on 3rd place with 42 points and don't have chances to win champioat (1st Austria have 56 points)
I think that GAK have more motivation to win this game and go to semifinal.
Good luck!
TOR Maple Leafs v PHI Flyers 2 1.60 gamebookers
Though this is expected to be one of the closest series' in this round, my pick is Philadelphia, perhaps the most in-form team at the end of the regular part of the season. This bet includes over-time.
Ok, that's good, still a bet for me to place.
Hopefully fortunes will turn when Viborg-Farnum ends with an away win.
Away team has good form and the home team does not, Farnum won 3-1 at home a couple of weeks ago. Farnum has a better team and has a very good chance to win.
Price is 2,55 with Centrebet
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Tahoma, how you tempted me with your changing the minimum odds limit :lol: :lol: :lol: For a minute there I thought of covering my pick for today to make it much safer ('double chance' was easily available at ca. 1.40-1.45)...Who knows, maybe one of these days I will !!!
My pick for Wednesday is from the Greek Cup semifinal starting in about an hour and promising to be a very tough game :
Egaleo v Aris Salonica :arrow: 1 ............2.40 at Expect or Betandwin
Aris definately has the 'heavier' name of this balanced pair in the semis of the (rather poor) Greek Cup. It is my belief, however, that Egaleo is a much better organized team, with many underrated options in offense (Agritis, Hloros, Nikolopoulos), better paid players and, mainly, a far better coach. If Egaleo can contain Aris' African sensation Demba Nirren and, in the process, maybe keep a clean sheet in this 1st leg, then they're in with a chance at the rematch in Salonica. Aris' internal problems seem to never end..... In addition to that, I can now sense a distraction on the part of Aris, because they finally realize that the UEFA Cup through the League is much simpler :!: I pointed that fact out in my predictions last weekend.... Aris has a derby match with Paok Salonica coming up Sunday, in NEUTRAL ground, and then a FAR easier schedule thn PAOK !!! The gap is suddenly only 1 point :!: and Aris is in a dilemma... :?
All in all I figure Egaleo just might be a bit more motivated than Aris in this 1st leg. The ability of its offense is such, that the WISE pick is the straight home win, 'cause if they foul up, 1X may not have been enough :lol:
Good luck to all.... 8)
My pick of the day will be from the NHL playoffs:
Philadelphia-Toronto 1 ---> 2.20 @expekt
This is the same pick as Strandns, but this does not include OT.
I'll gladly take the extra 0.60 in odds, since I hope and belive that Philly will win comfortably.
I think that Flyers have a stronger defence and better goalie, that's a big plus and a must in the playoffs. Flyers also strengthend their squad before the trading deadline and their offense significantly picked up after that.
Toronto on the other hand have not impressed as much and have been rather inconsistant from time to time, and there's also a rumour of some disagrements whitin their squad. I don't know if this is true, but rumours usually seem to have some substance...
I wonder if anyone has pick this but i believe there's only picks on asian handicap and double result for this match.
Juventus - Barcelona : Barcelona win at 3.70 (Gamebookers)
Juventus is a strong team with home ground advantage and i think they are excellent on their win against Deportivo, even if they win it at injury time. However, from that match and others such as Man Utd, they conceded goals and i think Barcelona will do the same. Even without injuries, i rate both teams evenly. At odds 3.70 and injuries on Juventus side, i go for a Barca win here.

HI ALL!
THIS IS THE FIRST DAY THAT I GIVE PICK OF THE DAY!
VIERI TO SCORE ANYTIME
GAMEBOOKERS 2.10
Unicaja - Cibona Zagreb 2 1.95 PSK!
For Cibona this is must win game because with this win Cibona will be one little step to FINAL FOUR! Unicaja have no chance to go in final four because she got score 0 wins and 4 loses! If Cibona win over Unicaja in the next game she will play with CSKA for 1 PLACE in the GROUP D! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
This is my pick of the day:
NHL BOS Bruins v NJ Devils - under 5.0 @1,68 Gamebookers
New Jersey Devils : last year 80% match in play-off under
The Devils mediocre 2.63 goals per game lands them below the league average.
Bruins team starting Steve Shields between the pipes in Game 1. Jeff Hackett is listed as day-to-day with a broken finger.
Shields finished the regular season with an ordinary 12-13-9 record, 2.79 goals against average, and a save percentage of
.896. However, one of his ties came in stopping 28-of-29 shots in a 1-1 decision against New Jersey just one week ago.
New Jersey took the season series between these clubs 2-1-1, outscoring Boston by a combined 8-7 margin.
The Devils All-Star goaltender Martin Brodeur has been amazing once again this season, posting a league-best 41 victories, a
fourth-ranked 2.02 goals against average, and a rock-solid .914 save percentage.
Brodeur has a stifling Devils defense in front of him and sees only 23.6 shots
per game. Together, New Jersey is the league's stingiest team and has allowed just two goals per game.
The 'under' went a moneymaking 9-2 in the Bruins final 11 games of the regular season and finished on a 5-1-1 run in the
Devils final seven games.
New Jersey will win the series in five games in a low-scoring series.
Trends:
The under is 9-2 in BOS's last 11 overall.
BOS is 8-20 ATS in their last 28 road games.
BOS is 1-6 overall ATS playing on 3+ days rest.
NJ is 2-5 ATS in their last seven overall.
NJ's last three overall have played under.
The under is 8-4 when NJ's on two days rest
Season:
Offense: NJ 2.63, Bos 2.99
Defense: NJ 2.02, Bos 2.89
Recent Meetings
Date Home Away

2/21/2003 NJ 3 Bos. 2
12/30/2002 Bos. 0 NJ 1
4/7/2002 NJ 3 Bos. 2
I think, here is under.
GOOD LUCK
I had difficulties finding a good pick for today, so I decided to take a different kind of bet:
Christian Vieiri NOT to score @ 1.50 (NordicBet).
Yes, Vieri scores a lot of goals, but I guess this will be a low-scoring game, and therefore I think Vieri's chances to score are not so high. Valencia has a strong defence and I expect them to be very tough on Vieri...
Hi,my pick is:
RACING CLUB - NACIONAL 1 (1,8 CENTREBET)
Racing needs to win for the first place in
the group and then they will have the weaker
opponent in the next fase.
