Good luck all and Go The Mighty Demons! 

 

[Macca 16,963]

I've had a small wager on Max tonight - 10.00 seems overs too. 

Such a dominant season will surely be rewarded with at least a top 3 finish ... would be a popular win amongst the footy public too.  Go Big Maxy!

 Very close Macca, the Gunners almost got there late in the game with the over 2.5. The Wolves v Southampton game looked destined for a draw after 80 minutes. Everton missed a penalty at 0-0 but still managed to find the back of the net 3 times. Well done on the Juve pick.

The best value is often with the very good team vs very good team at home ... in any sport really.  The good teams tend to do well away from home against average or poor opposition.

So I felt more comfortable with the Juve pick rather than the Gunners pick. Plus,  Juve with Ronaldo are way more potent now in terms of goal-scoring opportunities. 

Everton was a good pick DZ ... they are a decent team talent-wise and will probably finish top 8 again as they normally do.

[Macca 16,963]

The Champions League Group games usually throws up a stack of goals with the big clubs often being involved.  There's a few potential one-sided games coming up over the next 2 mornings.  A 4pick is about my limit though.

Juve & PSG both involved in home games against weak opposition look very likely.

I’ve gone a ‘Lotto’ range multi Macca for the 8 games in the morning. All 8 games to go over 2.5 goals, throwing a Hail Mary.  A buck gets you around $54 back.

 Best Bets

English Championship

Middlesbrough v Nottingham Forest @00:00 7th Oct

Middlesbrough Win $1.75

Italian Serie A

Lazio v Fiorentina @00:00 8th Oct

Lazio Win $1.85

Daylight saving this weekend so it’s best to double check start times for games. The Lazio game is listed as a 23:00 start on some sites but TAB has it commencing at midnight.

Spot on Macca. I saw them play once.......nearly got suffocated by a random hugger when they won 4-0 against PSV. Theyre goin ok this year so far. They should clean this mob up.

On a Thursday evening I quickly make a note of who all the big teams in Europe are playing on the weekend ... there's usually about 15 teams that I take note of but I look for teams that are also free-scoring or play to score.  And 'Ajax' are 1 of those teams.  Them and PSV in the Dutch league.

Currently there is an average of more than 3 goals in the Ajax games and in games involving PSV the average is 4+ goals.  Good for the exotics are both those 2 teams Wadda.

All the other teams are the more obvious ones such as Barca,  Juve,  PSG et al.  At least you then know you've got decent team's involved in a multi.

You still in Maastricht Wadda? The local team in div 2 went down 3-0 at home overnight. They could have done with your support.?

Yep i am......and yes.. i dont think theyre going so well........lot of games in bars, with huge screens in super HD. Looks really amazing.

[Macca 16,963]

Well we got Ajax & Lazio up and missed on 3 (including my 2 ?) ... the cricket is still ongoing. 

Any number of the good teams won in Europe whilst being involved in games where 3 or more goals were scored - Ajax,  PSV,  PSG,  Man Utd,  Arsenal,  Dortmund,  Chelsea,  Milan,  Inter,  Sevilla,  Leipzig,  Rangers & Celtic. 

Just gotta get the right ones hey!

Yep some good results. Pakistan made nearly 500 in their 1st innings......just have to wait for the Australian batting collapse...

Just on that point when are Smith and the evil ones allowed to play again? It was only 1 year ban wasnt it??

Smith & Warner are back in April next year or thereabouts ... Bancroft can play in January.  We play 2 Tests against Sri Lanka in late Jan/early Feb. 

Put any bet up that you like Wadda but I'm barracking hard for the Aussies and could never bet against them ... ha ha ?

The Test team is after all,  my favourite sporting team along with the Demons.

Yes Macca i knew that....unfortunately, punting is punting......and its about what you think is a good pick. Whenever i start barracking instead of punting i nearly always come unstuck. The shape the cricket team is in lately i thought it was a good one. Also the weight of money that goes on such bets when an Australian team is involved often puts up some interesting odds for the opposition when betting in Australia.

But yeah, i hear what your saying of course. Just arrived in Copenhagen, will do a cartwheel in the morning for Ace High!

I bleed Green & Gold so ypu're talking to the wrong bloke Wadda!!! Ha ha.  But it is no bother ... I'm just being transparent as you are.  Betting against the cricket team is akin to betting against the Demons.  I can't and won't do it.

And we demand to see video evidence of those Cartwheels in Copenhagen!

Oh i hear ya, dont worry, of course i appreciate what your saying. I was so [censored] at the ball tampering thing, that i actually dont mind betting against them for a while. Anyway.

Looks like a thrilling finish coming up actually.....We need 131 from 85 needed with 4 wickets in hand on day 5.

Considering Australia were 11/1 after day 2, (when they were 0/131) god knows what they were when they were then all out for 202!?????.........thats an extraordinary comeback.

Oh dear, i did say cartwheels didnt i !! ......ok well, i ll have to find an assistant for that......mmmmm....how about 10 laps of the local pool instead?

 

Edit: Looks like the wet sail win is lost now, at 333/8. Paying for the draw now....57 balls to go.

Well we just lost 3 quick wickets so we'll do well to get out of this now Wadda.

As for the ball tampering,  none of those playing now were involved with that stuff.  Coach is gone too.

The reality is that I'm a real cricket fan - an absolute fanatic.  Losing any Test match is like how many of us felt at half time of the preliminary final. 

I've probably watched a high proportion of all the deliveries in at least 400 tests involving Australia.  That's about 12,000 hours - live.  I can't get enough of it.

As for the ball tampering,  none of those playing now were involved with that stuff so I'm not sure why you'd hold anything against the current team.  Coach is gone too. 

The reality is that I'm a real cricket fan - an absolute fanatic.  Losing here is like how I felt at half time of the preliminary final.  Only worse.  Most of my mates are the same ... the phone messages have been flying thick and fast. 

So I hurt when the Test side loses ... I've probably watched a high proportion of all the deliveries in at least 400 tests involving Australia.  For years,  I purposely took my annual leave specifically so I could watch the Tests either live at the MCG or on the telly.  That's about 12,000 hours - live.

By contrast,  I don't watch much footy at all apart from watching the Demons.  Cricket is my sport.  I played at a decent level for over 30 years as well.  I can't get enough of it.

Yep, looks like i interpreted those scores wrong and they were always playing for a draw. Read a few match reviews now.

Yes well thats pretty fanatical, and i will certainly give that to you. Well done and what a great supporter you are. I was lucky enough to go to the footy once with Gideon Haigh who i consider one of the finest ever. Very nice fellow. Hes also a demons supporter you might like to know. I grew up going to the G watching Lillee and Thompson as i guess you did. I will still never ever forget that. Amazing times.

28 balls left....will they survive? What an effort if they do. I have no coverage here.
