champions league

champions league

+118.9* on year

barca/madrid under 2.5 2.4* to win 2* madrid needs to park the bus and get back home and not lose in the first leg as arsenal did.

PSG 7* to win 5*
PSG FH 2* to win 2.6*
PSG to advance 11* to win 5*

I dont see anyway in hell Man City can get this done. Their defense is leaky and some of their defending is criminal. PSG looks to be on a mission. I just cant see Man City going to Paris and getting a result, I see them more likely to be out of it going into 2nd leg. If man city could defend better Id think more highly of them but they have been run over by less attack minded teams in the EPL.

Anyone have any insights on the games the next two days? Would love to here some talk about plays and games. This is all I am putting in now. Dont like much in other games but that could change.

Agree with you.

If Barca was playing anyone but Atletico, I would be big on them. However, this is a team that can frustrate Barca. Barca will hope for a 2-0 victory and Atletico will be happy to sit back, play a 0-0 first half and hope to steal a goal in the second half. Just have to avoid a red card as this game could get nasty. Not a big play for me but I like the under.

Bayern is extremely tough at home. They are only missing Robben, and based on their play this weekend, they will be focused on this game. They also know that its tough to win in Portugal. Will likely make a small play on the over in this game.

I love Paris. I already unloaded on them last week. I am not a fan at all of City and I really don't think they have a chance in Paris. I hope I am right since this is a very large play for me. Not much else to say.

Not in love with the number on Real, however, I do not see them losing this game. This is a massive home game for Wolfsburg and their heads were certainly not in the game last weekend in league play. This looks a lot like the Real/Roma game in the last round. I expect Wolfsburg to be all-in and play a good game, but I see a Real 1 goal win. I expect Real to be in good form after the Classico win (despite it not meaning much, I know its a huge rivalry but it honestly was not a great match and I think Barca would have won easily if the league was close, just my opinion). Size of play will likely depend on how tomorrow goes given money I have on Paris, but it will be a play.

Good Luck!!

Very good analysis. Love hearing others thoughts. I think athletic can steal this for sure (over 2 legs) . I am big on PSG as well. Def not impressed with city one but. Vulnerable in the back.

4-5 champions league halftimes

4-5 champions league halftimes

already won 2* with bayern in the first half .. and athletic 1* in first half. great start

Like I said I like this athletico team and they are defensively sound as anyone gets. They are down a man which hurts because even up I think they take barca over two legs.BUT not so fast my friend

I saw chelsea the year they wont the CL play at barca, down a man defend like something out of this world. I think athletico has the kind of defensive team that chelsea had then.. Yes i know they are down a man but am getting a amazing defensive team +.5 while up a goal?? and bovada is giving me +120 also? too good to be true. lets take it

athletico +.5 3* to win 3.6*
athletico 1* to win 2.2*
athletico/barca draw 1 * to win 1.9


Simeone is a fantastic manager and will get his teams shape set up nicely. They may very well get dominated and I could be wrong but I have to go with what I see, and I see them defending as well as you can regardless of their numbers

 

[PittsburghKid]

what a shame

what a shame

Torres being an idiot and reckless cost Athletico a result. I fully and wholeheartedly believe if they play 11V11 athletico gets at least a draw and possibly wins. It just wasnt meant to be.. lost a few on the day with those second half athletico plays. I think give athletic a real shot in 2nd leg

114.5* on year

 

[PittsburghKid]

PSG/city FH Over 1 2.4* to win 2*


PSG 7* to win 5*
PSG FH 2* to win 2.6*
PSG to advance 11* to win 5*

adding to PSG. Ill sink with the ship if they dont win. ive tried but just cant see man city getting a result

PSG 7* to win 5*

in total thats 14* to win 10* on the game 3 way line

You and me both. If PSG loses I will lose most of what I won this year so far. One thing I have learned over the years is that you have to bet big on the games you love. Those that say play all games for the same amount are simply wrong. I do it about 3-4 times a year and it has worked well over the last 25 years.

I actually know Laurent Blanc. He is a good friend of a friend of mine. Been together in the US and France (where he draws crowds everywhere, no one in the US knows who he is). He will likely get fired if they don't make it to the semi's. I think I will send him a bill if they don't win today.

I was worried about that damn red card yesterday and it ended up costing us the under.

Good Luck today!!!

That's awesome as all hell.. Tell him I'm only 8 years removed from playing D2 and looking for a team

What about the contract he signed earlier In year? I know psg is CL or bust though it seems this year. Owners said 5 year plan and this is year 5.. I'd love love to be able to grab drinks and chat soccer with someone like that.

Also, tell Laurent that if he gets fired that I am in the market to add another coach to my HS staff for upcoming season, I'll have the job open for him. Prob just a small difference in pay!

Lastly, yea Torres is an idiot. I still think Athletico has a chance but I full believe they get a result of they don't get that red card.

Let's Go PSG. BASON, where abouts are you located, sir?

 

[BASON]

I live in Rehoboth Beach, DE. Do you live in Pittsburgh? I grew up and still have family in Ligonier, PA.

I know they are away but have to take them big next week at this line
Leicester 5* to win 6*

Foxes FH 2* to win 3.6*

 

[BASON]

Leicester is the only thing I can count on in soccer right now. Again went off at plus money.

Still licking my wounds from that Paris loss. Was a big one for me.

I hate the MLS but not sure I understand why the Galaxy are only -105 and the total is 2.5 Last 5 between the 2 have gone over. I don't usually bet the MLS but may have to tonight.
