Good start.... 1-0

Tony2005 June 8th, 2008 17:56

Well we were sweating again....
 
:clap:Another great result for us punters but like last night we were on the edge of our seats till the end.

Will be posting my thoughts on tomorrows two great games later........

themanwiththeknow June 8th, 2008 17:58

2 wins from 2
 
austriawere the better team imo, croatia were garbage!!

they have nothing up front and apart from the penalty they never once looked like scoring, on that performance i cant see them getting past the 1/4s thats if they get out the group, if they play like that they will lose both games to germany and poland, but they got the win and thats al that matters

returns of £9.40 with another £4.40 profit added to the kitty!!

Tony2005 June 8th, 2008 18:01

Have to agree there....brings Poland right back into the reckoning whatever happens tonight ....but we got lucky and thats all that matters..

Tony2005 June 8th, 2008 21:02

Tomorrows matches
 
Two quality games for us footie fans from the group of death..

Romania v France

The French have always promised so much and in the world cup final it was there for the taking but once again the French came off second best.
They should be too strong for Romania who look the team the others in this group will all be looking to beat easily.

But the French are usually slow starters and maybe a little shock could be on the cards here.......i reckon it could be a 1-1 draw which might not be a bad result for both teams.


Italy v Holland.

A cracker of a game and one i think the dutch can win. The under achievers of world football get a chance here to prove they have got a team capable of winning a big tournement and with the Italians the preverbiall slow starters in most comps the dutch could take advantage in what i think will be a game with goals...3-1 to the Dutch is my selection.




TheCaptain June 8th, 2008 22:04

Romania v France

No one wants to loose the first game and in this group this is vital, I have to say I have not been impressed with the French in the last two major tourneys, and in this group, I cannot see that improving. I have to say that I see this game as being 0-0, however my reservation is that Romania have failed to score in only 3 of their last 14 games!

France dont conceed many, but usually win 1-0 or 2-0

Problem is that I really don't rate the french team, so my bet would be ROMANIA or the DRAW @ 1.83 with a back up bet of HT/FT Draw/Draw @5.0 If the French defence cancel out the Romanian attack

Italy v Holland.

A tough game - could go either way - Italy are flaboyant, but irratic. Holland don't have many 0-0 games - I think a Goal line bet is the best bet in this instance and as such I would choose OVER 2/2.5 @ 2.29.

themanwiththeknow June 8th, 2008 22:17

totally agree with you tony
 
ive romania vs france down as a draw and holland to beat italy

i can defiantly see romania getting something out of this game and bet365 go romania +0.5 @ 2.05 (romania not to lose)

it wasnt that long ago (2002 world cup) that france got knocked out without even scoring a single goal!!!

imo they are overrated

best bets for me are...........

romania not to lose @ 2.05 or halftime draw @ 2.10 for value i like ht draw ft draw @ 4.75

i really fancy holland to beat italy, but you never know what ur going to get with italy, so id go DNB on holland @ 2.18

for abit of value i fancy ht draw ft holland @ 7.00

both games scream unders to me

themanwiththeknow June 8th, 2008 23:22

what about........
 
both games to be a draw at ht @ 4.20

could be a good bet this??

Tony2005 June 9th, 2008 08:34

I like..........
 
France / Romania the draw but i think there will be goals in the Holland / Italy match ........what about the two being draws at ht and a little saver bet on.....France game DRAW and Holland TO BEAT Italy?

Or France UNDERS and Holland OVERS ?

Also i thint HOLLAND are a massive price to win the whole tournement what about a few pound on them at around 12/1 ?

This looks value and also gives us a team to follow..

themanwiththeknow June 9th, 2008 08:40

themanwiththeknow June 9th, 2008 12:59

for this today??

Tony2005 June 9th, 2008 13:32

Think everyones at work......
 
I like option 3..........France v Romania...unders and the Italy v Holland game overs....

Still think the Dutch are massive odds to win the whole thing....

So far were doing great....lets hope it continues...:cool:

themanwiththeknow June 9th, 2008 14:00

tony
 
seeing how it is only me and u voting today how about £5.00 on each selection?

and b4 the tourny i fancied croatia or holland, after seeing croatia yesterday they have no chance so we,ll put £5.00 of the kitty on holland to win outright!!

TheShark72 June 9th, 2008 14:24

Tony2005 June 9th, 2008 16:19

Wouldnt life be much nicer if we only had to work three months of the year......and when we wanted to...

themanwiththeknow June 9th, 2008 16:48

so far so good.............
 
.......for our bets

draw at ht and 0-0 which is good for the unders, hopefully holland/italy will be a draw at ht and we,ll in profit for the day


by far the worst game of the tournament

Tony2005 June 9th, 2008 16:50

What a shocker of a game.................just how we wanted it..looool

TheCaptain June 9th, 2008 17:55

Did I say I dont rate the french....

Oh yeah - I did!

Lee

;)

Tony2005 June 9th, 2008 17:56

Another great result....
 
France v Romania....0-0....:clap:B (:

another winning bet and now we need the Dutch to win and were looking good.......8-P

Tony2005 June 9th, 2008 18:01

Loooooool, Lee were going well....love the bet on the Dutch to win the tournement at 15.50..........into 12.00 now..

themanwiththeknow June 9th, 2008 19:03

hopefully the game will end as overs, but i cant see it

as i said in my earlier post on the 2 games they both screamed unders to me, but there was 2 thinking overs and only me thinking unders so we went with overs

even if its a draw at ht we,ll make profit

TheCaptain June 9th, 2008 19:12

That should make it interesting now

How far offside did he have to be though??

Tony2005 June 9th, 2008 19:13

well our lucks right in at the moment............loooooool

Tony2005 June 9th, 2008 19:17

Get In.....................
 
GOAL OF THE TOURNEMENT.......:clap:B (:B (:

TheCaptain June 9th, 2008 19:22

Tony2005 June 9th, 2008 20:26

GO ON THE SUPER DUTCH.........took 16/1 this morning now....6/1

Come on us........8-P8-P

bally73 June 9th, 2008 21:07

personally mate i think the spanish will do it this year they have been threatening for years and i think the time is right if torres gets off to a flyer i think they will win the tournament outright

Tony2005 June 9th, 2008 21:49

Tomorrows thoughts...
 
Spain v Russia....The Spanish seem to bottle it at the later stages but usually play well in the group games..The Russians are not the best of travellers but maybe that will change after their UEFA Cup win this year.

For me ....not many goals in this and the Spanish to edge it maybe 1-0 or 2-0.

Greece v Sweeden.....Greece the holders will be fired up against the Swedes........Another low scoring game in my opinion with the Greeks just pervailing by the odd goal...

my bet would be a .....SPAIN and GREECE win double

TheCaptain June 9th, 2008 22:38

Spain v Russia

Spain are grinders - not flash, do the business, goal scored, shut down - might catch a second on the break - Again I don't see a high scoring game. Interestingly the last game between these two was a 0-0 draw, and baring in mind niether team could afford to loose - I think this is going to be France game all over again - Spain trying to score their goal - Russia defending to the hilt and trying to score on the counter attack. That aside - I see this as being a Spanish win, but I think its going to be hard work for them, and possibly 1-0!

Draw Spain HT/Ft is 4.33 - and this would be my bet for this game.

Greece v Sweeden

Whats going to win out - Sweedens defence or Greece's attack - Greece don't really do 0-0 games! Sweeden however, don't do high scoring games (they only scored 3 against Lichtenstein and 2 against Montenegro!).

I'm tempted again with a HT/FT result of Draw/Greece at 7.0

Got to say at 7.0 for me this would be my bet of the day

bennythedip2 June 9th, 2008 23:22

win win
 
Spain ..Win

Greece..Win


nothing compicated :cool:

bally73 June 10th, 2008 08:48

My bet would be spain half time spain full time just think they have too much fire power up front personally see 2 maybe 3 goals

themanwiththeknow June 10th, 2008 10:17

sorry guys
 
not ben on, internet been playing up and only just got it sorted

£15.00 staked yesterday with returns of £21.65 (profit of £6.65)

but we still have £5.00 running on holland @ 15.50

which after last night is looking a cracking price!

TheShark72 June 10th, 2008 10:28

I think Spain will handle Russia fairly comfortably in their opening fixture...they will want to get off to a good start and should do, with probably a 2-0 win along the lines that Portugal eventually saw off Turkey. However I cant find much value in this game for betting purposes....its how long Russia can hold them out for, and personally I think they will do well to get to HT level. There is EVS on offer for the first goal to be scored after the 28th minute....either this or Spain to win -1 goal at 21/10 would be my selection, but would be happy to leave this game alone.

Greece V Sweden is a much better betting proposition. Neither team come into the tournament expecting great things, but both teams will see an opportunity to finish 2nd in the group behind Spain. I LOVE the value of either side winning at HT and it being a draw at FT (14/1 both) as I can see a 1-1 draw here with both teams being satisfied by this result. Its fairly skinny, but Greece +1 at 1/2 seems a knocking bet, with it going hand in hand with the above should it be Greece/Sweden winning at HT with a draw at FT.

themanwiththeknow June 10th, 2008 10:31

taken everyones thoughs into account.........
 
.........and the 3 to choose from today are.........


greece to win or draw and 2 or less goals @ 2.00

spain to win with 2 or less goals in the match @ 3.20

spain to win and greece not to lose @ 2.51

TheShark72 June 10th, 2008 11:02
