Not going near Argentina ever again

Shame a team full of top players can never perform together

Spain -1 is at 3.10 :eek:

This is England's probable line-up according to skysports:
England: Hart, Walker, Cahill, Lescott, Cole, Lampard, Barry, Jones, Sturridge, Bent, Welbeck.

No Terry or Rooney...

and the probable line-up for Spain according to Marca:
Casillas; Ramos, Puyol, Piqué, Arbeloa; Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Xavi; Iniesta, Villa y Silva

I'd just be a touch wary until the Spanish team is named, there's whispers the Barca lads who played during the week won't play tomorrow night.

Hopefully my esteemed Chilean colleagues advice was well and truly ignored.

As for Marca's predicted line ups, I think they employ a team of monkeys to throw darts at the squad list to come up with their projected 11.

Had a €40 double on an ireland win at 7/5 and both teams to score in uruguay game at evens. Come on Chile!

Heading away on Thurs morning so won't really get chance to go through the cards and corners bets for Euro games before then.

All the games have strict refs so quite a good chance of cards with so much at stake, more in the 2nd legs though. There is very few markets up yet so hard to pick value prices


Stats wise
Corners: Under 10 corners in Estonia/Ireland and Czech/Montenegro anywhere around evens is very good bet. All teams have high % of unders.
Over 10 corners in Bosnia/Portugal and Turkey/Croatia look good bets too if around evens. Matches involving these teams have high % of over 10 corners

Cards: If you can get around evens on over 4 cards in any of the games then it's a good bet. Czech/Montenegro in particular.

The only bookies with full cards markets up are ladbrokes and Hills for the Bosnia/Portugal game. Howard Webb is in charge of this so could well be a card fest. Both sides met in playoffs for last world cup. 1st leg had 50 points, 2nd leg 85 points. Bosnia have been involved in a few card fests lately whereas Portugals discipline has been quite good but we have seen in recent years how they react if thing's aren't going their way.

Ladbrokes are offering some very interesting prices here Over 55 points is a huge 27/10 compared to Victor Chandlers 23/20 for over 55.

Free money alert
There is a decent arbing opportunity here if you put €200 on 27/10 with Lads returning €750, then on Vic Chandler back 35-55 points @ 23/10 -€175 returns €402 and €200 on under 35 points @ 15/8 returns €375. By doing this you have €0 risk and €175 profit if over 55 comes in. Adjust stakes to suit yourselves. Put more on at vic chand if you wanna lock in profit regardless of outcome.

Over 65 points on Ladbrokes is a massive 5/1. Which is far too big for a game with Webb reffing and so much at stake. WillHill is giving 12/5 for over 6 cards which is about right. Another arb opportunity on this too.

http://sports.ladbrokes.com/en-ie/football/european-championships/bosnia-vs-portugal-e215417841#

I don't think those prices will last on Ladbrokes so get on early if you fancy a bit of arbing. Also on Ladbrokes over 45 points is 6/4 which is a great price too if you looking for just a single.

Have a good wan!

6/8 there Yardie, on the ball as always. One more an you'd hav won me 2 grand or so. Lumped on the single of overs in cards in the Czech match won me bout 80 overall. Fair play man, looking forward to your next picks, only a matter of time until you hit a huge one:D

I usually don't go for these but Major rush of blood to the head:


Bosnia v Port BTTS EVS
Turk v Croatia BTTS 10/11
Cyprus v Scotland BTTS 5/6
Czech Rep to win 4/6
Hungary to win 1/7
Cameroon to win 4/9
Ukraine v Germany over 2.5 goals 8/11
Ireland first team to score 10/11

@ 63/1

I've got Robbie to score anytime too on a single bet to cover that insane accumulator

Came closer than expected with that silly acc! Needed a goal from Turkey, Bosnia & Port and I was 300€ richer.

Robbie saved the day! Good to see some serious competition for spots up front (Keane/ Long/ Doyle/ Walters).

EdenHazard

that was a really good accum and i dont know how it didnt come in in the end...would have expected goals in bosnia game and just needed turkey to get a goal

Bosnia U21
Llanelli
over 2.5 in Somalia - Ethiopia
Roger Federer (not football I know, sorry!)
@4.03

On paper, it looks good, Bosnia won the corresponding fixture 5-1 and had a ton of shots off target too, Llanelli play against the team they already beat 9-2, Somalia are one of the worst footballing countries in the world and Ethiopia have had decent results lately, as for Federer, I don't know much about tennis but he's one of the most famous names in tennis.:pac:

Not saying they won't win today but a few weeks ago Arbroath (top of the league) let me down against Albion (bottom of the league).

Your bang on there, lower divisions in scotland are dodgy as f**k, small stakes the way to go in that league with the amount of fixing that supposedly takes place

Headshot do you request odds by telephone? i requested odds for a football bet last weekend with paddy power and i got an email back saying it was forwarded to their traders and i never heard back, i sent the same email to William Hill and i got a price in no time. Do you get a price request quicker over the telephone?

Fuuuck, how can you win 5-1 at home and lose 2-1 away against the same team, especially considering that team had lost all their games before that:mad::mad:
