As you can see most of my tipping revolves around the round ball game, however threw a couple of NRL games in the mix for some fun and it almost backfired on me.

Had my heart in my mouth this afternoon with the roosters almost blowing it for me...

And to think I was gunna take the Arsenal v Tottenham match as a draw (3.90) instead of roosters v dragons, could have paid triple. My previous best collect was 8/8 when i picked the whole first round of the european champions league, which you would appreciate is probably the most difficult competition goin round from a tipping perspective.


Anyone who would like to discuss sports multi-betting please get in touch as I would like to share my knowledge of soccer and learn more about some other sports.

[Ambivalent1]

Hey that is very impressive.

Im assuming it was on centrebet as I have an account on there too and I like to do multis as well. Although admittedly I just stake huge amounts on teams im confident of.

I specialise in AFL and soccer myself.

We should share info!

Looking at your multi-bet I agree with all of your soccer selections except I hate betting on teams away from home. I just took bolton-portsmouth-newcastle-ipswich town-kaiserslauten (championship and bundesliga) pick 5 for $50 which paid $890.

I also have a pick 3 on at the moment which was stg first try-collingwood under 39.5 points-aston villa. What are your thoughts on aston villas chances? I dont like them now, looks very draw-ish to me.

[classiconi]

Thanks Ambivalent.

Indeed it was placed on centrebet however I have numerous online accounts and after searching for good prices, 2.25 for Valencia was way over odds, I don't care where they were playing, they are gunning for a place in the champions league and nothing was going to stop them. In fact, it was my shortest priced option Real Madrid who were playing at home and had to come from behind + score in injury time to secure the points. Funny game this soccer is but if you do your homework tipping can be pretty cruisey. I steer clear of one league in particular and never bet on this competition because there is so much corruption in it, but apart from that I will bet on anyone as long as I give them a more than excellent chance of winning.


Its good to hear that you specialise in AFL because I am keen to have a dip in that market, and betfair has been quite kind to me in recent weeks (+46.5 points for Richmond @ 1.92 LOL). Great tip on the pies I am very keen to share tips with you in this sport.


Aston Villa v Man City... hrrmmm a real jammy in general I would steer clear of this sort of match but I would have to say Villa is probably what I would have taken, both teams in ordinary form but Man City seem to be suffering from the loss of Joey Barton in the heart of midfield. Villa are desperate for the points because another loss could spell real trouble for them as Portsmouth are charging up the table, while Man City have an extra game in hand. In saying that, Man City are on a killer losing streak and the law of averages suggests that some sort of result is headed their way.

[Ambivalent1]

You were right Classiconi, Man City got up 1-0 to defeat my multi. I was never confident on that match.


What are your thoughts on tonights champions league/EPL matches?

Barcelona v AC Milan - Leaning towards Barcelona or the draw as Barcelona only need to protect their 1-0 lead.

West Ham v Liverpool - Draw or Liverpool, not sure, this one is tough to pick. West Ham can be difficult to beat at home and Liverpool have been playing a lot of matches lately (albeit a very impressive FA Cup win over Chelsea).

[Mr J]

Heh very nice ;)

[classiconi]

Hey Ambivalent AC Milan are my team so my opinion may be biased however I don't think they should be written off at all for this fixture. With proven goalscorers Shevchenko + Inzaghi up front, Kaka and Seedorf feeding ball and Cafu giving them width on the right, I can't see Milan not being able to score a goal in two consecutive champions league matches against a backline which I would only regard as satisfactory. Marquez and Puyol are on yellow cards and I can see them being quite tentative especially in the opening 30 minutes. On merit Barca deserve to go to Paris for the final however the best team on paper doesn't always win. I would definitely have Milan amongst the goals and as such my tip is 1-2 with Milan going through to the final on the away goal rule.


West Ham v Liverpool - On any given day Liverpool are a 3 goal better team than the hammers. I played against Reo-coker and Ferdinand as a Spurs youth team player and do not particularly rate them. All their best talent (Carrick, Cole, Ferdinand) end up at bigger clubs and West Ham are stuck with scraps. Liverpool are a day fresher and have a full squad to select from, so my tip is 0-2 in favour of Liverpool.

I know you won't find these tips appealing Ambi as you don't really like backing away teams but I do give both teams realistic chances of winning.

There are not enough midweek fixtures atm so I'm keeping my wagering to weekend fixtures, any upcoming fixtures you fancy? Im quite happy to discuss fixtures in all sports.

[Ambivalent1]

At the moment I really like richmond to beat carlton and melbourne to beat the kangaroos. I think they are certainties. Both should be close, tight matches so <39.5 is a good value option. I will wait and see the team sheets first before doing anything as I know carlton expect Waite and Fevola back.

Also an early glance at this weeks rugby league reveals a HUGE value pick. Melbourne underdogs vs St George at home! They are in sparkling form and are a high scoring team. Manly also present as logical winners over what I consider to be a highly-overrated Parramatta side.

[Floydyboy]

I like liverpool tonite..... The chance of changes in the side worries me a little......and Ive thrown FC Zurich into the equation as well (another away team).....I thought Liverpool might try to Hammer the Hammers tonite to soften them up mentally for the encounter in Cardiff ...but obviously not if raph is going to rest players .....although they do have some depth and they have played a fair bit of football of late as has west ham

[classiconi]

Barcelona v Milan 0-0


I kid you not though Milan were robbed, the goal which was disal???ed was perfectly legitimate, I can't believe the ref awarded a free kick to Barcelona, this was a champions league semi final not amateur grade.


West Ham v Liverpool 1-2

Yeah went pretty well how I thought it would, Liverpool cruise home in 3rd gear.

[Ambivalent1]

Yeah I took the Draw-Liverpool double on the back of everybodies analysis and my gut feeling.

lol reo coker scored!

In tonights UEFA Cup I think Middlesbrough will choke against Steaua Bucuresti and I cant split Sevilla and Schalke.

[Floydyboy]

I only seen the last 20mins and it didnt look too cruisy to me ...That Sheringhams an oldy but a goody

[classiconi]

teddy probably the most clever player of his generation, was not physical or very quick, however made up for it with his wits.


And btw, Liverpool dictated the game opening 30 minutes, it seems after that they did just enough to get the result, cruising if you consider they made 8 changes to starting line-up from previous match.

[classiconi]

Ambi I haven't had an opportunity to assess the UEFA cup matches but on a whim I would say Boro to win and Schalke v Sevilla draw, not much in them at all.

[Floydyboy]

Its never cruisy when my money is under seige haha no matter whos playin ....:)

[Floydyboy]

Shaky Shalke ......One on my teams to avoid list along with the whole Italian and Spanish leagues......Id rather rely on stats alone and bet in the Czec 2nd league than bet in Italy or Spain........Been burned too many times

[classiconi]

Floyd Italy or Spain are the most competitive leagues in europe thats why you have been burned, there is nothing suss about them at all in my opinion, theres really only one team in Italy to be very careful with and thats Roma, and if they fix a match you can almost guarantee its gunna be a draw.


BTW

Boro v Steua 4-2

Sevilla v Schalke 0-0 (82nd minute)

I should start listening to myself more often!

[Floydyboy]

Thats not a bad effort by Boro 3-0 down (5-0 with away goals)after 24 mins .
Nice comeback
If Id have got up to watch it I would have gone back to bed after half an hour

[Floydyboy]

Oh I wouldnt disagree about those leaguess its just that I cant pick em..... and the part of the game I dont like ,get a goal and defend and defend some more..
Adios ...........Im off to work

[Ambivalent1]

Another easy double! this is beautiful. Although I was nearly right, Middlesbrough did almost choke after going 2-0 down.

Oh and what does everybody think about the Chelsea v Man United game on saturday night. Should be a terrific match. I think Chelsea are a bit out of sorts atm though and Im leaning towards a draw or a Man United upset.

[classiconi]

Hey Ambi I will provide my specials tonight, can you let me know your specials in the other codes.


Anyone else reading please feel free to bounce off ideas and I am more than willing to provide my opinion, a lot of sport this weekend should be able to put together a nice multi.

[NKXIII]

just been reading about all the multi's and i must say you guys are pretty good. been backing some multi's myself, but been struggling. if you get a chance guys, post your bets before hand.
anyway... my thoughts for this weekends action is as follows.
AFL:
Carlton <39.5@2.65
Melbourne <39.5@2.40
Geelong straight up @ 1.80
Essendon straight up @ 2.40

EPL:
Man U @3.50
Liverpool -1.0 @2.15
Arsenal -1.0 @2.00

perhaps into a multi, this would be paying $400

[classiconi]

Hi NK,


Appreciate your input, like I said I'm trying to learn about the other codes as much as I can.

I am not a big fan of taking teams -1.0 goals, I prefer to take the lower odds in case the team only manages to win by 1 goal.

I really don't know how Essendon will cope without Matthew Lloyd, he has been a key player for them.


Ambi Carlton have named Waite and Fevola, do you think this could have an impact on the result?

[NKXIII]

yeah Essendon will cope ok without Llyod. He was good, but their structure upfront is pretty good without him. They have been unlucky the last couple of weeks and are due for a win.

Carlton with Fevola back in and Waite, should do the job against the tigers who have travelled from Perth back home over to Brisbane in the space of 5 days, surely the will struggle.

[Floydyboy]

I think it will be a good game to watch and not bet although ManU arent often paying $3+.......this end of the season could be a look in
Ive never seen a team create so many chances as Man U and not be able to convert ......Im an unabashed Rooney fan ......He can be a bit hot headed but hes only young .

[Ambivalent1]

Classiconi I still like Richmond to win by <39.5 points. Their advantage is in their forward power. Carlton lack quality defenders.

Interestingly, there has been a huge plunge on Carlton. I am certain its because of Waite and Fevola being named.

I also agree with NK about Melbourne, Geelong and Essendon to win. Although I would not risk Essendon.

In the rugby league as I said I like Melbourne storm to beat St.George and Manly to beat Parramatta at the line.

[Floydyboy]

too early in the season for Rugby league for me and I gave up on the afl about a season and a half ago ......... although I did have my mandatory $5 double on the lions and the broncs got odds of over $7 this week ...go you lions haha........................

OOOO and before I forget ...It will probably be their deth nell but Jeez I think Bolton will beat charlton ...they havent done much of late on the road but they had some nice wins away earlier in the season ,.............from memory charlton started the season well but have slipped a bit of late ..........maybe Im just a sam fan

[classiconi]

Floyd you are about a week behind with Bolton v Charlton, I actually had that result as part of my winning multi last week! (refer to first post of thread)


Here is a quick multi for tonight, paying about 85 / 1

AFL
Carlton to beat Richmond.

French Championnat
Bordeaux to beat Le Mans

Greek Division One
AEK to beat Apollo Kalamaria

Italian Serie A
Inter Milan to beat Empoli
Juventus to beat Siena

Portuguese 1 Liga
Porto to beat Guimaraes
Sporting Lisbon to beat Rio

Spanish Primera Liga
Getafe to beat Villareal
Atletico Madrid to beat Mallorca

Please note for both Spanish matches I have taken the draw no bet option.

Fellas I have had a look at the NRL and Super 14 not very keen on any fixtures (might get on knights if Johns plays) but I will post another mutli tomorrow and probably throw some AFL on taking your tips into account, considering you guys seem pretty confident on Melbourne and Geelong.

I'll be on most of the night if you wish to discuss this weekends fixtures.

[Floydyboy]

Ha ha sorry how my brain crossed over there I dont know .....I started off talking about Blackburn or meaning to atleast........... Nuff Said.......Must have a bigger soft spot for the big boofheaded northerner than I thought.

[Floydyboy]

Two Paper favs for tonight
Austria 2nd league..........
Rheindorf Altach SC - Kapfenberger SV
Rheindorf Altach SC $1.37
French 2nd league
Caen - Chateauroux..........
Caen $1.40

[Floydyboy]

A question if I may no inferences intended
Why would Cagliari be $1.47 favs to beat Parma
Home advantage?
Trying to climb out of the relegation zone?(a nothing match for Parma)

The figures look odd if you just go by the basic stats.

[classiconi]

Floyd interesting that you point that fixture out as I have also taken notice, apparently Cagliari grind out results at home whether they be wins or draws, however 2 weeks ago Parma was 6.00 to win away from home and our very own Bresciano popped up in injury time to score the winner. Cagliari have four draws on the trot but Parmas form has been quite good the last 6 weeks. Keep your eyes on any fluctuation but I might keep away from that one this week.


Alas the multi I put up before is dusted before it even started. I shoulda listend to you Ambi well tipped for Richmond to get up although Carlton did charge home in the final 15 minutes.

I'll have a good go at it tomorrow got some soccer specials lined up.

[Floydyboy]

Might be one to get ON lol
Last season towards the end I thinkit was there were 2 instances of Italian 2nd league matches heavily bet on for the draw (and thats how they both ended) The dogs were barking ,the money went on, and the chickens came home to roost ....gotta go EPL preview on fox

[classiconi]

Quite possibly Floyd but I'll make my final assessment tomorrow.


There are 2 fixtures in the Serie A which are odds on for the draw this weekend, Sampdoria vs Udinese and Treviso vs Ascoli, someone once told me any fixture in Italian League which has the draw rated at odds on, you should put your house on it, but Im really not that comfortable backing these fixtures for a draw at present.

[Floydyboy]

Me either ,wouldnt touchem ,I was kidding about getting on .
I have no problem leaving things alone .
Realistically theres enough football(soccer) daily to keep me occupied .One good bet a day single or double is a better recipe for me than trying to back a squillion winners .....last year I had a big multi about $80 then realised Id left one out so I had the multi again and with the inclusion it was $135 they won ....I had $1 on both of them haha but I was happy with the result

[classiconi]

Fellas you all still keen on Essendon to beat Hawthorn? Please advise bout to lodge my multi.

[Ambivalent1]

I wouldnt reccommend betting on Essendon although I have tipped them.

Too much of a danger game.
Geelong would be a better bet.

[classiconi]

Hey there Ambi, what about with +24.5 worth considering?

[Ambivalent1]

Yes +24.5 start is ok. That probably makes it 50/50.

I rate Essendon a far better side than Hawthorn, however I think they will be tired from the Anzac day match as their players have ageing bodies.

[classiconi]

Ok I have posted my multi for this weekend.

Soccer specials are as follows:

French Championnats
Bordeaux to beat Le Mans

Italian Serie A
Juventus to beat Siena
Inter Milan to beat Empoli
Value Tip - Parma to Beat Cagliari paying 7.00

Portuguese 1 Liga
Sporting Lisbon to beat Rio

Spanish Primera
Getafe to beat Villareal
Valencia to beat Alaves
Value Tip - Real Sociedad to beat Sevilla paying 2.45

English Premiership
Newcastle to beat Birmingham
Liverpool to beat Aston Villa
Tottenham to beat Bolton

Another value tip in Greek First Division
Larisa to beat Ionikos paying 4.25

I have also thrown on the following as per Ambi's tips -

NRL
Melbourne (+12.5) to beat St George

AFL
Geelong to beat Sydney

[Floydyboy]

Heres my few shorties for tonite ....subject to further scrutiny but theylll probably be the ones I play with

ENG 2
Carlisle - Torquay........... 1.50* 3.62 5.37
EPL
Liverpool - Aston Villa.......1.35* 4.18 8.53

GERMANY 3Nth
Lübeck - Münster .............1.50* 3.67 5.50
Köln (Am.) - Essen ...........5.15 3.59 1.50*
GERMAN CUP
Bayern München - Frank Eint...1.45* 3.83 6.83

Further to this I like Blackburn 2.50 and Newcastle 2.85 for my long multi ....back in a tick ...just doin the sums
Grand total $47.42

[Ambivalent1]

Geelong look gone. The worst umpiring I have ever seen in an afl game. So biased towards Sydney. Shocking.

Meanwhile the Storm are home. 24-4 up 70 minute mark.

[classiconi]

Yeah Ambi lucky i took the Cats with +24.5 they just scraped home, ur tip on Melbourne Storm was pick of the round so far nicely done there.Anyone watching Chelsea close out the premiership?? United had no answers today, great performance.

[Ambivalent1]

Well that Chelsea Man U game was one hell of a disappointment. Very ordinary one-sided affair. I put 1000 on Chelsea to win the title pre-season so that will give me some play money online now at least.

Im going Newcastle-Manchester City-Draw(wigan v portsmouth) treble for tonight.

I just need Manly to win at the line of -2.5 to complete my weekend multi-bet.

[Floydyboy]

Well there goes my $42 multi ......only cost me a coupla bucks ....I didnt include the German 3div sides in anything else 1win 1draw.....I am however hoping that Liverpool and Bayern Munich have victories they're my mainstays for the night .and Blackburn
Manly seem to be doin alright at the mo .....Kennedy was a good buy on their part. Good luck Ambi.....Always been a Menzies fan (not a manly fan though)haha

[Floydyboy]

I watched the Chelski victory Manu were shocking ....I think part of that was due to them being on the backfoot for most of the match .......I missed the possession stats but I think they would have easily favoured the blues.

[Floydyboy]

God Bless Liverpool ,Bayerm M and Blackburn


Heres my goers for today and tonite......

*Eagles v PAR Eels 1.60

*Genk v Beveren 1.40

Osasuna v *Real M 2.40

Brighton v *Stoke 2.60

*Bordeaux v Le Mans 1.57

*Valencia v Alaves 1.37

TOTAL= 30.06

Ive had a treble on Genk ,Bordeaux ,Valencia as well

[classiconi]

Luckily I took Newcastle with the draw no bet option, they have been in quite fine form the last few weeks but they didn't even turn up yesterday, Birmingham had them under the pump. My multi has carried into tonights fixtures lets see how it travels.

[Floydyboy]

gamebookers do a double chance (win,or draw) skinny odds .....just another option
,

[classiconi]

That sounds quite interesting Floyd might have to take a look, btw Osasuna vs Real Madrid not as cut and dried as you would expect, Osasuna need to win this match to consolidate 4th spot and a Champions League birth, the team has played well all season and I really expect a show from them tonight, could surprise.

[Floydyboy]

No Ive thrown them in there on suspicion only.......Bit of a fun multi that one......
They owe me heaps from about 2 seasons ago when the had a six match streak of losses or some such at the end of the season ......
With all the talent they bought Its hard to understand how they lose so often.

My first leg got in by a point ...it lives !!
Ive had a few bob on the home team treble

[Ambivalent1]

Juventus up 3-0 after 8 minutes lol

And Al Capone has just scored for Cagliari against Parma.

Ascoli-Juventus is my double and if they look like winning I might speculate on the Tottenham-Bolton game. It is sensational not having to work tommorow and being able to stay up and watch it.

[Floydyboy]

I stayed up all saturday night watching the soccer last night wasnt an option for me ...Im up to watch the Spanish match this morning though

[classiconi]

Well Bordeaux choked against Le Mans and Inter Milan lost against Empoli, however they had Veron, Adriano, Recoba, Cambiasso, Toldo out, can't believe I didn't do my homework on them, this week should have been so easy.


All the other fixtures came in, and the two odds on draws which I speculated about came in as well (Sampdoria vs Udinese, Treviso vs Ascoli) should have been easy money this week, oh well next week it is.

[Floydyboy]

A short treble for tonite

Sunderland v Arsenal
2 @1.28
X
ManU v Middlesbrough
1 @1.25
X
C.Budejovice v Pardubice
1 @1.35

TOTAL @2.16
Roughie for tonite Bochum (Bund2)
Was looking at The Hammers as well but theyve got a lot of players out due to injuries or resting Dean Ashton in particular and a nothing match to boot

[NKXIII]

how u going guys? weekend was a bit disappointing. geelong are in a bit of trouble now as are essendon who i rate as a team, but they just can put it together. good game to watch though. how about the draw between saints and dockers? paying $67 for a draw according to the herald sun.. never mind. next week i suppose. i jumped on the storm, which was great.
as for tonight.. my pick is

EPL:
ARSENAL -1.0 @$2
i think thats good value. sunderland are gone and arsenal need the points to get back to 4th as spurs had a win on the weekend.

what do you guys think?

[classiconi]

Well Arsenal are still 5th even if they win tonight, spurs only need to win on the weekend to secure 4th spot, Arsenal's only hope is to beat Barcelona in the Euro Final and get in to europe as holders but thats just my opinion.

I'm actually going the other way I think there is good value in Sunderland to perhaps keep the gunners goalless although I won't be betting on this fixture, could be interesting.

[Floydyboy]

Good old Manu let me down again ....Into extra time 0-0 against a second string boro side....Ruud missed a penalty as well ....

[Floydyboy]

After watching the weekend disaster with Chelsea I wouldnt have let Saha or Park on the paddock .......but they were both there until well into the second half

[Floydyboy]

Some for tonite for an interest......Im really waiting for the weekend

FC Kufstein v FK Austr...
2 @1.55
Rochdale v Carlisle
2 @2.00
A. Aachen v Spfr. Siegen
1 @1.30

TOTAL @4.03

[Floydyboy]

Good old Manu let me down again ....Into extra time 0-0 against a second string boro side....Ruud missed a penalty as well ....
That should have read injury time

[NKXIII]

gunners didnt let me down.

too easy. they were desperate and scored all 3 in the first half.
should have won by a lot more.

Hammers were good odds too against Albion, didnt get on that though. about $3

[Floydyboy]

I left west ham alone as well the BBC sport site said they had a heap of players out and it was a nothing game for em ..but there ya go .....and Im like Classiconi I dont like the handicaps seen too many draws in matches ive bet on let alone 1 goal victories..But Good on ya just the same

[Floydyboy]

FC Kufstein v FK Austr...

[classiconi]

Nicely done there Floyd, I wanted to have a stab on Blackburn this morning but I only bet on weekend fixtures so missed out... how do you assess the lower division markets Floyd? You do any homework or you just taking a pure punt?

Glad you asked Classiconi .....I open the fixtures page close my eyes Then I move the mouse vigorously up and down vertically,,,, where it stops ......sorry I just walked in the door from the salt mines ...Im always a bit chirpy when Im home and comfy..........
The first thing I do Is look at home teams that are 1.30-1.50 and Away teams 1.50-1.80 (approx).....that way I let the bookies do the work for me (to a point).........Then I compare the 2 teams and if I likethe fav I back em .........well.I dont have straight bets on the short ones I just have doubles or trebles ..............I only apply this to those teams that you dont see or even the English lower leagues ..........With the premier league I dont stick with the price criteria because you get to watch it know the players etc so if I like Blackburn at 2.60 away to beat charlton I back em .....

Are you one of the FORZA AZZURI crowd............
I used to be when I lived in NSW but it was CARN THE BLUES( same thing translated to strine )

I watched the second half of the Blackburn Chelsea match ...And werent their fans ?????? ecstatic........ off to Europe .....no bet for me though .........my old man was a pom he came from Lancashire , from Burnley ....I never back them they seem to like the middle of the table too much .....
My bettings more for fun than expectations of huge profit ...i like to have a bet and watch my money go round or watch the live scores coming in.......But in saying that Im showing a profiton each my 3 betting accounts (approx$ 400 total) since november last year ...........But half of that could go in a weekends betting haaha ....Tonite for instance I have had$20 on the treble ....Not much Iknow but then again I wont lose much if it falls over ...

i now like the waratahs to win by heaps seeing now they have to win to finish on top of the table and get home ground advantage for the semi(which if they win) then home ground for the final which over the years has proven almost unbeatable. si thats why i think they will put in a supreme performance tonight. hope the forum curse doesnt strike me .hehehe

[Floydyboy]

Schaffhausen v *BASEL
X
Catanzaro v *ATLANTA
X
Kaiserslautern v *BAYERN

@$4.33

bad luck, i thought the chiefs would go very close tonight - always good at home, and usually do well against the top teams

:( i was rather hoping the forum curse would strike you tomorrow ;)

[classiconi]

In France I like the 3 dollars on offer for Lyon to beat Lille, Lyon have only lost 3 times this season and Lille were one of the teams to beat them, however it will be hard to stop the Lyon juggernaut which has just gone from strength to strength. Having already won the competition, there is a query on their motivation, however they are a quality side and should not lose this match.

Another worth looking at is PSG to beat Ajaccio who are particularly weak away from home having won 1 and drawn 4 all season in away fixtures. Add to the equation that they come up against the leading goalscorer and it becomes apparent that this could be the banker bet this week.

Moving over to Italy, and a quick scan down the fixtures reveals Ascoli vs Lazio is rated an odds on draw. Following on from last week, where I tipped both odds on draws, I am tipping that the trend will continue with a draw.

I am trying to decide whether Inter have the motivation and squad to beat Siena, they have a great home record however last week they had 7 first team members out and got beat by Empoli. I'll probably wait until the team is named before having a go on them. Otherwise not much interest in Italy this week.

Spain now and I am looking to back Valencia who have a great home record, as they are in a dogfight with Real Madrid for that coveted 2nd spot. Deportivo @ 2.oo looks good value to beat Bilbao as well.

In England, my tip for Tottenham may seem biased, but I think that credit is due, they have held on to 4th spot this far I don't think they will let it slip away at this late stage of the comp. I will also back Arsenal to beat Wigan, Portsmouth to draw with Liverpool, Fulham and Middlesborough to draw and Man Utd to beat Charlton.

[Floydyboy]

Nice write up Mr C ..thanks for that .............however I must retire for the evening Im afraid ........cheers and good luck

[classiconi]

Well to say i got totally screwed in France is an understatement..... My tipping totally sucked tonight guys, but Im pretty sure its late season-syndrome, some teams just dont give a flying fck. Hope you had better luck than I did.

[Floydyboy]

I got rolled by Bayern Munich (Draw) ...I left teams out that had nothing to play for............Though Bay Mun were nearly in that boat needing only 2 points from 2 matches ...but Hamburg went down last night so its all over red rover

[Floydyboy]

Tonites Picks..Sorry no commentary ,except to say ,that altough they are all away ,they seem to have a very good chance of winning ....which of course ,would please me greatly

Parma v *AC Milan
X
Portsmouth v *Liverpool
X
Pacos Ferreira v *Benfica

@3.75

[Floydyboy]

Benfica was a surprise 1-3 loss ........a low scoring draw I thought at worst
But there ya go thats soccer ..........

[Floydyboy]

Hey Classic and Ambiv .....are Boro a chance this week ...they are 1.50 double chance (win or draw) at Gbookers ......
Apart from that theres not a great deal happening before Saturday ......
I would love to see the Hammers do well (I suppose theyve done well to get to the final) ...........I like the look of Liverpool though ...........they dont leak too many goals and when they are at full strength they are very dangerous at the other end of the park ........ Crouch might look big and awkward but he wins a lot of ball that other players wouldnt ,simply because of his reach

[classiconi]

ill assess and get back to you floyd

[Floydyboy]

Too Late ...I went this way for a bit of fun
But Im serious about Liverpool

FC Barcelona v Arsenal................ X or 2 @ 1.79
Middlesbrough v FC Sevilla...........1 or X @ 1.52
Liverpool v West Ham ................ Lvpl@ 1.6

TOTAL @$4.35

[classiconi]

I have been flat out at work so ain't had a chance to have a good look but I will be backing Sevilla to win 1-0

[Floydyboy]

Yeah well Ill be setting the alarm for kick off in the morning ....Good luck

[classiconi]

30th Minute Sevilla 1-0 Middlesborough


They have the goal now but they look like they could grab 1 or 2 more, they are a class above boro.

[Floydyboy]

Boro completely outplayed allover the park ..sev just scored 3rd

[Floydyboy]

4th
I reckon the fans (english and european ) must spend a fortune travelling around to matches ...........Go to work so they can afford to go to the football ......they love it dont they

[classiconi]

Well there's another result I picked for ya, you didn't wait for my tip floyd!

I don't think the result was ever in doubt, Sevilla's playing style just overwhelmed Boro, they are so comfortable with the ball at their feet, the passing and movement was world class

[Floydyboy]

Yeah another result ...You created carnage from Milan to Madrid on the weekend
your a funny man.........its alright to say never in doubt after the event ..........when I was away in New Zealand earlier this year Boro beat Chelski 3-1 .....dont tell me about never in doubt.
I thought they might have a chance albeit a slim one .......as I said a multi just for an interest .......... Liverpool is where mine will be going .........FA Cups are usually dour affairs but I think Liverpool will be too strong and I think $1.60 is a fair to good price .............Been wrong before today though.
In reference to gamebookers you can bet in running (live betting ) on certain matches ........The site is really worth having a look at if you like to bet on soccer ,or lots of sports for that matter.They bet on AFL and NRL(under the heading RUGBY)............

[classiconi]

Maybe I should rephrase that, sure I am one person who knows how much can go wrong in world football, but I quite clearly stated last night well before the match began I was backing Sevilla. They scored more goals than I expected, but only really because Boro pushed forward 2nd half and once the second one went in the result was decided.

[Floydyboy]

Dont get titchy brother Im on your side .........Viduka missed a bit of a sitter and I maintain he was Knocked over (via headbutt) as well that should have been a penalty ,but I think it would have only prolonged the inevitable ......James Morrison got taken off at half time I think he was overawed by the moment ....and the fullback .......Ive seen him play a few matches since last year and he seems like a bit of a goer ..

Here you go fellas, just to show you that one a few weeks back wasn't a flash in the pan.

I had the same bet going with a Liverpool win for insurance, but the FA Cup has a habit of throwing up interesting results....

[Floydyboy]

Nice Darts , youll have to change bookies soon or youll be on the blacklist
All sorts of cup matches I normally avoid ,got tempted the other week with Bayern Munich,they won but only just fell over the line in stoppage time ,
The draw didnt surprise me but the early 0-2 scoreline did ..........$4+ is a juicy price the draw ,didnt hurt the mega multi any ........

Roll on Germany ,gonna be some late nights next month

[classiconi]

Yeah I don't like cups either but I just felt like having a go this weekend as there were not many fixtures that I fancied...


I liked Porto as they were going for the league / cup double, and over in Belgium I had followed Waregem over the season and 2.30 was way overs for them, even though it took a last minute winner for them to seal it!

[Floydyboy]

I like to keep an eye on the Belgian League ....I did alright with em last year . I think Waregem rolled one of the topweights not so long ago from memory

[showbizkid]

I liked Porto as they were going for the league / cup double, and over in Belgium I had followed Waregem over the season and 2.30 was way overs for them, even though it took a last minute winner for them to seal it!good stuff mate, i actually tipped against carlton which cost me my allup for the week :( what made you tip them? i was at the mcg to see them play vs the pies and they played terrible. few afl games this week should be some dead set easy wins

[classiconi]

Hey there showbiz,


I don't know what made me tip them, I feel like they are a team thats just struggling to put it together. But if a team can grind out results when they are playing mediocre, they are a capable bunch. I think they are a little underrated and thats why I gave them the nod in my multi.

Im quite happy to discuss this weeks upcoming fixtures , not much soccer this weekend so I may just focus my tips on the other football codes, who you fancy this weekend?

[showbizkid]

the odds will not be good but a few:

Adelaide vs Richmond - the crows should win this quite easily, they are the best in form team around at the moment

Fremantle vs Kangaroos in Perth - I'd expect freo to bounce back after the shocking game they played vs Melbourne. freo are pretty good at home

St.Kilda vs Carlton - St.Kilda should be able to take this one, unless the blues can string another one together

West Coast vs Essendon - Essendon seem to be going for draft picks at the moment :p its hard to see them beating West Coast

The other games i feel could go either way -

Melbourne vs Hawthorn - Melbourne arent playing that great, and hawthorn might take this one depending on teams (crawford coming back?) good value for the hawks

Collingwood vs Geelong - very hard to pick this game, although collingwood back in melbourne will help, but they have had to travel for the first time this year which could swing in geelongs favour since they stayed in melbourne last week (plus had the longer break). Hard match

Sydney vs Western Bulldogs - Another shocking match to tip, both teams coming off big wins, hard to pick this one

Port vs Brisbane - Brisbane have a decent record vs Port (i think) and seem alright value @ $2.20

but yeh, i may have got some of this info wrong so dont take it all as accurate :D. Will wait for the ins and outs for the teams before putting my bets on.

[classiconi]

Hey there Showbiz thats some good info there we'll take another look at the fixtures later in the week.

[Floydyboy]

Ive been practising restraint ,and it isnt a personal thing , but i genuinely couldnt help myself , please forgive me ..... here goes
