IT'S boring not having a bet and not too damaging having a low-stakes punt and it nearly came off for me on Wednesday.

My only bet was both to score at Brackley v Gillingham and over 2.5 goals at Glenavon v Cliftonville. It would have landed the other way about or as a both to score double and ironically in both matches there were three more goals in extra time.

Brackley were a big price and while I tipped them not to lose at evens I didn't post it as a Super Single.

There are even fewer games to look at with the sole English game an FA Cup replay between Dover and Cambridge while Halmstad face Helsingborgs in a Swedish play-off.

To make up for that bad decision on leaving out Brackley I'm putting 2pts on a Super Single that comes with a warning. Sporting face third division minnows Praiense in the last 16 of the Portuguese Cup and the gulf between the sides is huge – if Sporting played their strongest XI they'd probably hit double figures.

But I doubt if they will but even with four or five regulars they should be able to rack up four or five.

This bet is slightly speculative because I've got no team news – so hold off if you prefer to see who the Champions League side are fielding.

    Romanian centre-back Daniel Prodan passed away after suffering from a heart attack at the age of 44 on Wednesday.The defender played for Atletico Madrid for a season and a half, between 1996 and June of 1998, the player then moved on to Glasgow Rangers, before ending his career in Italy.
    R.I.P :(

    @craneguy cheers sir !!! last night i was busy and I could not answer.
    ===========================
    Astra Giurgiu – Dinamo Bucharest
    ===========================
    Astra and Dinamo meet in quarterfinal match League Cup and the winner will meet Steaua in the semifinals. Astra is thinking more at the championship, where he has not renounced at the playoffs, and at the meeting in Vienna with Austria in the Europa League, where they could get a good result that longer fill the club accounts. Dinamo also get a pretty good shape for this match and has moral ascendancy of championship matches, winning clearly in Giurgiu and was close to a victory in return.
    Astra:
    – Astra reached seven games unbeaten, it will be a clash of egos because in championship Dinamo was on top;
    – Silviu Lung and Sapunaru came late at the club from national team and will not be used;
    – Astra is thinking about Sunday’s match at Craiova, a game important in the fight for the playoffs, so might other major players to be rested;
    ===========================
    Dinamo:
    – After some poor games , Dinamo reached four games unbeaten and for them to meet Steaua in semi could be an extra boost (Steaua -Dinamo is the Only Derby match that counts in Romania)
    – Filip , Rotariu, Nemec, Penedo and Mahlangu are the players who will not be able to count, only Nemec was in the first team in the last games for Dinamo
    ===========================
    It is announces an open game the two defenses conceded many goals and have not found a stable formula the changes that will make the two coaches at the first 11 will contribute to an open game. It will be a duel between Gnohere and Budescu two strikers who will try to take advantage of this match to find the way to go. Gnohere will again have the chance to show what he can, especially since scored three times in the last visit to Giurgiu.
    I expect goals and that shoul be the right way from tonight game.
    ===========================
    Astra Giurgiu – Dinamo Bucharest
    Bets to consider :
    – BTTS @ 1.70 (main bet)
    – goal in both halves – yes @ 1.74
    – draw or Dinamo @ 1.50 (good for combo)
    – Dinamo DNB @ 2.00
    – Gnohere to score @ 3.05

  15. HullShaker 7 years ago

    Tough gig tonight but one of interest over in Brasil…

    SANTOS VS. VITÓRIA (21.30):

    Vitoria are as big as 6/1 and although they may well come out of this with no points, it certainly opens up value for other markets.

    They’ve had 2 decent results in their last 2 outings with a 3-2 win at 6th placed PR and a 2-2 draw at 8th placed Fluminense which brings a Vitoria goals well into play!

    The last H2H back in July finished 2-3 to Santos and the hosts have conceded in 10 of their last 13.

    Two selections for me with the latter being a tad speculative but fair-priced.

    BTTS & OVER 2.5 MGS…11/10

    VITORIA OVER 1.5 TGS…3/1

    Best of luck with all bets gents ?

    • anasewhiz 7 years ago

      Do you think the palmeries game may go over 2.5mgs

    • HullShaker 7 years ago

      Evening anasewhiz – it could, but history and recent games wouldn’t give me enough confidence for anything but a small stake…looks like a low scorer.

      Good luck if you go for it.

  22. craigyboy 7 years ago

    Two games I like the look of tomorrow for possible away joys.

    Leverkusen v RB Leipzig
    RB Leipzig flying high look way overpriced to see off a Leverkusen side who look wobbly at home. At 2/1 your backing a side who are unbeaten in all of their games and have the best away record in the division. They are probably going to need to score 2 to win and the 17/10 net twice has major appeal.

    RB Leipzig win
    2/1
    Marathon Bet

    RB Leipzig over 1.5 TG
    17/10
    Various

    Another game I fancy away success is the game in Spain. Betis take on Las Palmas who like a goal. Whilst I’d consider the same bets as above I will be adding both the away sides in a match result and BTTS double at massive 35/1 odds.

    RB Leipzig win and BTTS
    Las Palmas win and BTTS
    35/1
