[kickserv]

Saturday has a ton of Euro 2004 matches...just wondering if any "hot picks"???

Handicap betting or regular betting.......any thoughts??


Belarus +1.5 $1.90 seems good.....or am I missing something :shrug:

same holds true for Slovakia +0.5 $1.90 and Cyprus to beat Malta $1.50

For the 10est starts...

Germany -154 (Olympic)

Scotland has some injury problems and are simply in a different class. German players also looking to give it to Scotland coach B. Vogts (former german coach/player) who they are not fond of.

Prediction : Germany 2-0


Ireland/Albania OVER 2.5, -118 (Olympic)

Ireland is contemplating using 3 up front and I will assume they will go along with this tactic. They have promised an uptempo game for at least the first half as they must win today.

Prediction : Ireland 3-1

Here are some more plays for whoever is interested in early action today.

12est starts

Belgium +.5, -135 (Intertops)

Belgium plays at Bulgaria in what should be a very tight/even match. Bulgaria has hinted that a draw would not be a bad result for them as group leaders. This is a game that could go either way and taking a half ball is very fair.

Belgium/Bulgaria UNDER 2.5, -130 (Pinnacle)

Both teams have indicated they will implement defense first priorities.

Prediction: 0-0 or 1-1


Armenia +1.5, +104 (Pinnacle)

Armenia is a unknown commodity as this moment. In a recent match with Spain they outplayed the Spaniards for large parts of the first half and were extremely unlucky to lose 3-0 as they conceded 3 late goals. Their opponent Ukraine will also be missing several starters due to injury and suspension.

Prediction 2-1 Ukraine

 

[Cannon]

I played a two teamer with: Romania (-182) & Iceland (-370). Romania beat Bosnia 3-0 earlier and are at home, while Iceland should beat the Faroe Islands by a couple...

Denmark (+105) is good value, even though a couple of their strikers are out.

I kinda like the Swiss at home as well (+130) but it looks like a draw...

 

[LyteSpeed]

Canon,
agree with all your plays.

Here are my final 2 picks.

Switzerland pk/-.5 , -119 (Pinnacle)

If the game ends in a draw you get half your bet returned. Russia is in bad form and Switzerland have become a strong team over the past few years.

Slovakia +.5, -111 (Gamebookers)

Turkey will miss 2 of their best players. A draw works for Turkey here so I think Slovakia will be able to grab a point if not pull an upset.
