I played Belgium/Czech Ov 2.5 -145 after the nice hit on the Irish yesterday.

Kid, I have two restaurants. a(Muse.) (amuse-rehoboth.com) which is higher end dining and Grandpa Mac (grandpamac.com) which is a fast casual mac & cheese/pasta place where everything is made on the premises. Hope you get a chance to visit.

Hitting these friendlies lately so will play one more tomorrow.

Denmark +.5 -125. This is not Germany's A team and not even their B team. They are sending a young team to the Confederations Cup. This team has not practiced much together so this is more of a game for them to get used to each other. It is still a talented team, but I expect a strong effort from a good Denmark team.

 

[BASON]

That is 3-0 in friendlies so I will keep going.

Italy +105. This looks a little too easy but I will bite. Uruguay off short rest after losing to Ireland on Sunday and not preparing for qualifier, so they are on vacation. Italy, while they play Lichtenstein, are preparing for a qualifier and playing at home (actually playing in Nice, but will be like a home game). I think they will want to win this game. Maybe a typical 1-0 Italian victory.

And how does the Ukraine lose 1-0 to Malta? Today was a great example of why Friendlies are tough to cap and not worth big money. Israel and Germany also draw.

 

[BASON]

This Italy lines keeps moving all over the place. I added a little more at -125. They are coming in with an A team and Uruguay has no one upfront. Again, looks easy, but I am biting.

Finland played draw with... Liechtenstein... 1-1 ( cashed btts +250 :00hour )

Finland plays sunday Ukraine (that just lost to Malta) and during todays match
odds went from +100 to -134... Finland's team is utter crap at best, Ukraine looks
pretty solid winner here.

just my ?0.02

Have to agree Snafu. Don't like many of the Euro qualifiers as there are many mismatches, but this is one that looks good on the surface and I always like line moves like that.

Keep hitting the friendlies, now 4-0. Laying off them tomorrow as both as games involve South American teams and I see no motivation for any of these teams so no real angles to play.

Play for tomorrow is Mexico -1.5 -120. I like this Mexico team and fully expect them to win both of their home qualifiers this cycle. They should easily handle Honduras and see at least a 2-0 victory.

I see no value in the US game. They certainly should win but I will never lay 2 goals at minus money with a team that struggles every game on defense. Costa Rica should win 1-0 so see no value their either.

I definitely think at least one of the games in the U20 semifinals early tomorrow will finish in a draw. Both totals are 2 and both draws are approximately +200.

Interesting friendly early tomorrow morning as Argentina and Brazil face off in Melbourne Australia. Argentina has a new coach and is at full strength. Brazil is missing some key starters but still has a strong squad. My first thought was to take Argentina but I am going with the over 2.5 -110. I think both teams will take it somewhat easy and want to put on a show. Argentina has Higuain, Messi and Dybala upfront, I think we get 2 from them and at least one from Brazil. Set your alarm clocks for the very early start as it should be an entertaining game.

Will likely be on Russia in the second friendly, but will post tomorrow after results are in from Mexico tonight and the over in the a.m.

Lackluster performance from the US tonight. If they play like that on Sunday they have no chance in my opinion. I will likely be big on Mexico.

 

[BASON]

Finally lost one as Argentina did not show much interest in this game and still won. Wasn't the game I thought it would be but that is how friendlies go. Mexico more than made up for it.

Take Russia in a Pk+110 this morning. This is the final prep for the Federation's Cup. They will want to show they are ready at home.

Maybe a couple euro qualifiers later.

today friday i'm gonna try

Greece +525
Bulgaria +200

Haven't watched much soccer lately but love you guys on these threads...I'm sure I'll play some when NBA ends (hopefully tonight)

Had to tell you guys about this one...you prob saw.

Got home from work and saw Sweden and France tied 1-1 in 78th Minute. I've always loved Sweden (esp women's team lol) so I put a small play on Sweden to win at 7-1 odds and Over 2 1/2 at 2-1 odds...then sit back and watch a boring end of the match where France is lackluster and Sweden is all defense.

And then...with maybe 15 seconds total left to play...I saw it and was like why is the goalie leaving the box. Figured maybe he'd try sort of a late empty net and dribble up....he gets completely out of position and looked like a QB throwing late back over the middle....and a pick-6 for the game....half-field shot!! It was incredible. One of the best wins I've ever had in my life!!! Small play but it was absolutely amazing!! Still on a high....that's why we bet!!!

That was awesome!! Was watching live. Glad you bet it. Great way to start the weekend!!

 

[TouchdownJesus]

Thanks Bason!!

So this is kind of weird but every so often here's what I do...

I was watching live...well I was a minute or so behind...I'll do it mostly for basketball and every so often football. Once the guy from Sweden was about to kick from mid-field...I watched it "live" in slow-motion. Ha Ha. So I'm sitting there with all my emotions like...is it gonna make it...is it gonna bounce over...etc...its a lot of fun!

When UNC beat Florida State this year on a 54-yard field goal I think....I watched it "live" in slow-motion. It looked like it might get blocked but made it over....it looked good but was it long enough...looked like it was gonna go wide but then straightened and then couldn't tell if it would be long enough...just made it over the cross bar!!!

Its a little weird and I mostly just do it when I'm alone and only every so often...although I do it fairly much on the Splash Brothers 3-pointers too...just a fun way to watch end of games occasionally...and yeah, just had to tell you and Pittsburgh Kid among others!!

 

[BASON]

Good stuff Touchdown!

I have a hard time just getting the TV's on let alone playing with the remote!!

Nothing really stands out on today's slate, but that won't stop me. Small plays on Poland -1 -125 and Czechs Pk -130.

I already put some $$ down on Mexico -190 tomorrow and I will likely add as I watch the line move. May not be a popular play, but I see nothing from this US team that leads me to believe they can get a result in this game. Mexico's speed and better overall talent should win out here. The Mexicans are going to come after Pulisic and harass and foul him. I am curious to see what Arenas does with the starting lineup. If he starts Altidore then I think he is clueless (I also think Bradley should sit forever, but will save that for another rant). I'm sure we will get a better effort out of the US team, but I just don't think it will be enough. This will be a big play for me.

Add Poland FH+105. They have led in the FH in 4 of 5 WCQ matches. After winning 3-0 in Romania they should be able to get the lead and we get a great price versus -220 for the game.

I met guy in Jamaica who's from Scotland and we have stayed in touch through Facebook. He tells
Me Scotland gets a result today. Not much handicapping but going with him

Scotland +.5 3* to win 3.9*

For what it's worth he predicts 2-1 scots. I'll take the +.5

TD that's good stuff and had to be so awesome watching that all go in. Criminal Decision by keeper though. I was always a huge Zlatan fan so always liked Sweden as well!

Those are the bets that usually win Kid!!

I played Scotland and Azerbaijan +.5 in a little parlay that i didn't post. Also going to see if England gets hit hard enough to bring it to +1.

 

[PittsburghKid]

Wow should/could have won 2-1 but alas still a winner on the spread! Scots!!

+412.9*

On a nice little roll as Poland worked well yesterday. Don't love anything in Europe today, but I will play the Irish +135 over Austria. Not forcing anything else as I have a lot at stake tonight.

Hit Mexico hard again on the line drop at -170. Big play for me.

 

[TouchdownJesus]

I'll put a small play on Mexico and as soon as NBA over I'm gonna start playing a lot more soccer. Look forward to these threads!

And yeah, as it was happening, I thought, what the hell is that goalie doing? I figured he'd keep dribbling and kick it deep and even that might be questionable....just inexcusable. To play for 90 minutes and then all but 15 seconds of added time and you lose like that....that's rough....but it was great for me!! lol
