What's the fast bet? Is there no 5 second delay? Seems strange!

Go to live betting on Paddy Power and select the fast bet option. It just means when you click on your selection it goes straight to confirming the bet. It by passes the box that normally comes up and then having to click ok. I find on some markets PP are very slow to suspend the game. Basically you see the ball coming in and click the button as it's going into the net. It's risky as sometimes a goal can be given offside or even go wide. A lot of people on here have taken advantage of it.

Benzema to score first 6.8
Benzema to score anytime 2.98

Bayern/Real/Chelsea @ 4.6

Have Partizan singally against Arsenal @ 6.4 aswell, done sunday.

Bayern left it late, and Real relatively late but a wins a win.

I wouldnt mind but i would have done Di Maria to score only Benzema started instead of him, typical for him to come on for Benzema and get the winner :rolleyes:

Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid all to win -1 gives back odds of about 16/1

Getting the urge to lump a biteen on Shakhtar tonight

Needless to say I didn't get around to it

Well done to who did though

Im thinking Nani 1st scorer @ 12/1 is a decent price for tonights Valencia/United match considering his form atm. United wil also be missing attacking players in Scholes, Rooney and Valencia so any attacking opportunities will surely come down to Berbatov and Nani finishing them

Valencia - Man United

Quite fancy Valencia tonight to pull off a result against Man United. Don’t have much time so I’ll be brief.

Man United are missing Scholes, Giggs, Neville and Rooney. Rooney being injured may actually be of benefit to the team considering how poorly he’s been playing of late but the other three are important losses to United in this game. It’s the type of tough game experience plays a major part in and this trio are without a shadow the most experienced players at the club. Scholes in particular has been playing some fantastic football and his loss in the centre of the park could be monumental to the team. These losses, coupled with the long term injuries to Hargreaves, Valencia and co, could prove pivotal. It’s been an average, if not disappointing, start to the season for Man United and their away form has been quite erratic. I have my doubts about Berbatov’s ability to lead the line on his own and I also hold reservations about how fit Ferdinand is after so long out.

Valencia on the other hand seem to have no major injury concerns Ever Banegra aside. He is a major loss but they’ve been without him all season so far and seem to have coped admirably. Indeed they’ve defied the early season predictions and despite the loss of their two best players in the summer, appear to be perhaps more solid than they were last season. They’re sitting top of La Liga and were very impressive in dismantling Bursapor two weeks ago in Turkey, never an easy place to go.

I usually loath to bet against Man United but when one consider that they’ve only won 1 game in 18 on Spanish soil, the argument appears to tip in the favour of the hosts. It’s an incredible stat and one which has to come to an end at some stage no doubt. However there is obviously a mental block or something about playing in Spain for Man United and to add to that they’ve struggled to score in Spain as well.

It’ll be a fascinating game, albeit a low-scoring affair I’d imagine, and one relatively tough to call. My main worry would be that it’ll finish 0-0 so I’ll probably have a little saver on that before kick-off. However, whilst I took Valencia earlier in the week when they were around 9/4, I’d still be prepared to take them at their current price of around 13/8

Valencia at 9/4

ranger are very very unpreditable scotish football as a whole is very very poor. but in saying that this is a must win for rangers they need home wins,it is defo not a nap i think but best of luck to you inter or baracelona seem better opitions

iv done a treble with rangers 21/20 barca8/13 and inter4/7 €100=€520

brave man good luck i fear for rangers but hey ya never know

Got lucky in sat lotto 3number 300-1...so you never know.if it doesnt come in im still up 200.

not very often i shout for ranger but as there at home and came back from 2 down at the weekend there in with a chance.

I know they are playing the current champs but i'm finding it hard to ignore Werder Bremen @ 5/1 against Inter.

Not sure about Rangers at the price. Slight favourites at most I'd have them. May get caught on the break. Bursaspor on top of the Turkish league. They've already gone to Galatasaray and won. Rangers and Celtic are on a par with Turkish teams at best. We'll have to forgive their first game as a first timer one-off nightmare though

Might go about laying Barcelona in Russia. They seem a bit short themselves.

Schalke 13/8 at home against Benfica too. I know they've been rubbish in the Bundesliga so far but Benfica aren't going well in their own league by their high standards either. The Portuguese teams in general seem much weaker this year.

I was reading that all these are out for Werder.

Seabastian Boenisch
Peteri Passanen
Naldo
Clemens Fritz
Pizarro
Frings

That was late last night when i seen it and haven't seen anything to suggest they will now play. Milito is out for Inter but Pandev will play alongside E'too. Actually E'too is a good shout to score anytime at 2.20. He's been in great form lately. 7 goals from 6 games i think. Scored in the last game against twente. And i think he's taking the penalties as well under Benetiz. I know Milito took them last year but he's out tonight. Also add to the fact that Werder can't defend.

Passanen looks like he will be playing but Fritz, Pizarro and Frings are definitely out.

Think i'll stick with Lyon, Spurs, Rangers and Panathinaikos at 16.91.

Milito out for Inter tonight

Sorry

I don't usually say it but I'm hugely confident on United getting something tonight. Don't blame me if your grand is gone :pac: Even if Ferdinand doesn't play I think United will play well. It's just typical United to be down like this and then to pull a win out of the bag.

Ah was only joking. Both to score is what interested me in that one. Valencia to win going by form but i hate going against Utd so i'll leave that market alone. With Scholes and Giggs out and Nani being hit and miss i'm not overly confident of a Utd win. They just haven't looked as sharp this season.

Barca do my head in at times with their backwards play. Someone lays the ball off and makes a forward run. But the player he gave it to passes it backwards. Think they'd have more success with these type of defenses if they just played more direct. Just as well i've no money on it. It would frustrate the hell outta me.

Backed the 1-1 draw in the Barca game at 2/1

im a bit pissed off that pp dont have a market for anytime booking in the man utd match

Rafeal is a banker to get booked :mad:
