Hope this an omen ... At Newmarket tonight 'Norway' won the first race whilst there was another horse in the race called 'Sydney Opera House'.  The racing is on the free-to-air racing channel.

So come on Norway in the Nations League!

Well its only 7pm here, so i can follow the Norway match for you guys......looking good so far at 1-0 Norway at the 56min mark.

I also have a pick 6 with the first 3 legs up. No cash out offer, 650 return. If this leg gets up just need Spain and Packers at the line -10.

Edit: 74 mins now still 1-0. Now its nerve racking.

Edit: 90 mins    1-0....

Edit: Full time: Norway 1 Slovenia 0

4 from 4......2 legs to go. or in some cases only 1 Macca.

And the notion of a combined multi is starting to serve a good purpose ... we've got a couple of days to wait Wadda but that anticipation feels good knowing that we haven't risked much and we have the cash-out option as well. 

And for what it's worth,  the last time I won a very good amount involved a MNF NFL game so there's another omen. 

Well done Norway and well picked @Dee Zephyr

Yep eggzactly Macca. That was the notion in the ocean to put peoples strengths together across different sports and combine for small outlays. So far so good. I happy to wait. Its a mistake to try and get all the legs on the same day. Slow burn is the key.

Yeah ... it is probably the go Wadda (slow burn) although I have had a few collects over a shorter time span.  What the slow burn does do is give the option of cashing-out or alternatively,  one can take a shorter time-span smaller multi within the bigger multi such as what I did. 

We're not talking big stakes here but the payoff can be really good ... my strategy might be that the 1st pick out of my 2 could be more of a 'sure-thing' and for that pick to be decided earlier than the 'spec' later pick.

I valued my 2 picks over this weekend as equal this time,  all the same.  Just my thoughts moving forward.

Yes well if Spain get up it also gives the option of laying of on San Francisco at the line incase Green Bay fall short. 

You are correct in what you say. The thing i like is that this does give people many options of doing what they like with the picks. Many combinations are possible for the discerning punter.

Since a coffee is $8.50 here, a collect would be very welcome.

Lets hope there are more cartwheels in Copenhagen to come !!

I reckon we'll get better at it too Wadda ... the team aspect and the transparency is a factor much like it is with the horses.  Except with sporting events it's a 2-horse race - pun intended.

And if we ever start another thread we already know what we're going to call it.  It would have been a terrific title for another Marx Bros. movie.

 The 49ers line has come into +8.5 so if it comes to it,  taking the slightly extra line +10.5 at $1.71 would be needed for the assured win.  That's of course if Spain prevail.

Here's hoping!  ?

Due to no cash-out for me it’s impossible to lay off in the Spain game Macca, if they do get the leg up I will be laying off in the Packers game. 

The line on Neds has moved into -/+9, I got -9.5.

My Packers line is -10 not -10.5 so I am absolutely not going to get caught out on a 10 point win to Green Bay.  A collect is a collect.  I'm taking no chances.

But we need Spain to win first DZ ... at home,  you'd reckon they should prevail and they know how to score.  I can also see England scoring so fingers crossed on the match score.  For some reason Laddies didn't have +2.5 available so I took +1.5 rather than +3.5.

I have a feeling England will score as well, I was a tad surprised to see them paying close to $6 to be honest. Spain is a class above though. Let’s go Spain!

I’m also cheering on the Greeks in Finland, I reckon 1-0 gets it done there.

Well reporting in live from the only Irish pub i could find in Copenhagen...and well well......not looking good. England well on top and all over Spain. 0-2 England after 27 mins..

Edit: 0-3 after 38 mins. Spain have no answers....That 6/1 DZ is looking like the bet of the month....

.....and thats the score at Halftime.....im off to bed.

......we might take some solace in the fact that, England are the first side since 1963 to score 3 goals in the first half away to Spain. Thats like since the Dees last won a flag......

We missed the last 2 legs which is better than missing just the 1 leg in some ways Wadda.

Anyway,  it was a nice ride and good fun.  And we do it all again next weekend ... as I indicated in an earlier post,  I'll be looking for a sure thing with my early first choice and then some value with my second 'later' choice. 

I'll probably go with the 4/6 split bet again with the 4pick being the 4 'most-likely' picks.  Should be able to get 10-1 to 15-1 on the 4 pick whilst the 6pick will no doubt deliver top odds.

Yep disappointing Macca and a "Catastrophe in Copenhagen !" I did find some great old bars to watch the soccer in though, so not a complete loss.

Nevermind. We learn and move on. Green Bay are not on top of their game atm and i didnt realize Rogers was playing injured. I do like a line bet in football though. Might have to keep an eye out for some although you probably know the game better than me. Theres always more cricket coming up!

4/6 split sounds like a good idea. Our strike rate is not too bad, so a good formula there. 10-1 i will take any day. I also think the UEFA thing is working well, just the one hiccup. England is now a good side. World Cup was no fluke. Easy in hindsight tho. I thought Spain were a good thing.

Yes,  might do a 3 leg midweek 'special' Wadda ... the terrific thing with the Nations League are the match-ups.  A lot of evenly matched affairs so good odds can be had if the right choices are made.

Teams are looking to win the games too so as to avoid relegation and/or gain promotion out of all the 3 team groups.  It's a really good concept and will gain acceptance soon enough.

I think its a great concept and actually amazed its taken this long. The friendly concept has never worked. Should be expanded to include Australia and Asia ! Almost like another World Cup.

Ok so its like a normal knockout style with the top teams going through. Midweek special is appealing as well Macca. Is there no end to our genius? Better go wake up DZ !

Your Germany choice is a smart pick Wadda ... I'm on with 2 other picks that I dare not mention because of the mozz factor!  I've really got nothing to recommend so I'm happy to go with your choice as the roving banker.  Komm auf Deutschland!

Germany have to win otherwise they are in danger of dropping down to League B in the Nations League.  Even a draw will do them no good.

I’ll have a small nibble on Germany 2-1 correct score.
