USA v Honduras, 12am, live ESPN
Panama v Mexico, 3am, live EPSN
I'VE won money backing USA in every Gold Cup game so far and hopefully we'll make a few more dimes tonight.
USA face Honduras in the first clash in Arlington, Texas and are no bigger than 2-5 at William Hill and Paddy Power to beat Honduras.
The hosts have notched 16 goals in their four matches and the only time they failed to hit a streak was in the meaningless final group game with Costa Rica which they won 1-0.
Honduras qualified courtesy of low-key wins against Haiti and El Salvador before losing to Trinidad and Tobago. They have netted just four times in the tournament – one fewer than USA hitman Chris Wondolowski – and there are question marks about their attack.
I can't see past USA and while betting them to win to nil is tempting they have conceded in three of their four outings. So for me the best bet is USA -1 at 1-1 with Paddy Power while instead of Wondolowski I'm back on Landon Donovan at 7-2 with Skybet to score first after hitting five in his last five internationals.
The later game sees Panama take on Mexico and these two sides met in Group A at the start of the tournament. Panama won 2-1 and I can see a similar sort of result.
They eased to Group A triumph with two wins and a draw against Canada when it didn't matter. Mexico's second string side have bounced back well from that early loss to beat Canada, Martinique and Trinidad and Tobago but none of those are a patch on Panama who look big at 16-5 with Paddy Power and BetVictor.
At that price you can back them +1 and still get 4-5 with the Irish firm.
Gabriel Torres has been Panama's star man with five goals and is 12-5 at Skybet to net at anytime.

Paul and everyone else just a heads up. Go onto the Skybet website and there is a price boost section for the game. Donovan is 9/2 from 7/2 which is a fantastic price considering 3/1 everywhere else.
Chris, think I quoted 7-2 so 9-2 is good. Must have a decent chance.
Which of these would be your super single mr F? Ypur favourite of the two games? Was going to create a double but what you thinking?
Max, definitely the USA the favourite.
MrF- Sportingbet is offering these markets I would like to get advice on these odds. Do you fancy any of these odds.
Atletico MG v Olimpia Trophy Winner @ 2.40
Atletico MG v Olimpia Over/Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.70
Panama v Mexico To Qualify @ 2.55
Panama v Mexico Goal Handicap Panama(+1) @ 1.75

Cheers :D
Dee, I’ve posted my tips on all of these games.
MrF – Sorry, thats not my actual question I’ve done a wrong post in hurry.
My doubt is instead of putting wins on AMG & Panama why don’t we go for these bets to be on safe side.Odds really looking good. As in case if matches draw and after all those extra time and penalties.
Atletico MG v Olimpia Trophy Winner @ 2.40
Panama v Mexico To Qualify @ 2.55
Cheers :D
Dee, fair enough.
worth a £10 shot?
USA @ 1.40
Atletico Mineiro @ 1.40
Universidad de Chile @ 1.40
Over 2.5 @ 1.57
SORRY LAST ONE WAS Millonarios v FC Porto Over 2.5 @ 1.57
I think it can happen. Fc Porto made some changes with a new managers, sold Moutinho and James Rodriguez but bought some decent players. They are playing extremely well in this pre season and have a 27-2 goal ratio in their friendlies. They have already played Millionários twice beating them 2-0 and 2-1. The over +2.5ft has happened in all Porto games in this pre season. Millionários just lost one of their main players Montero that was bought by my club Sporting Clube Portugal. But they found a good replacement in international Dayro Moreno. They have an important game in 3 days so they will rotate i guess.
Cheers mr f gone for that! Fingers crossed hour till kick off!
you right they score a lot but millonarios no mugs recently acco to stats?? be fun if you cant sleep! Sly mate pat on the back you are a football encyclopedia!
Just seen Universidad are playing tonight :) but the bets il be on is USA -1 and -2 and then atletico to win the copa straight after. Lost out on the barca game, with it being a friendly I didn’t go big on it. Hope to claw it back with the US tho
Heh ty mate but it´s a simple explanation for that. I´m portuguese so i have indepth knowledge of portuguese teams.
No Wolfinski he’s on the bench
£100 Donovan First Goal @ 9/2
£110 Donovan to score anytime @ 10/11
£50 Donovan to score in both halves @ 8/1
Good luck if you are having a bet.
Chris, Donovan’s the main man really. Good luck with the to score in both halves bet, decent odds.
That’s alot of your money back anyway Chris :-)
Chris – Good start of the day with Donovan to score anytime.I did £150 on him. Won ;) Congrats :D
You are very near to your 3rd bet now. Good Luck matey :)
Who is your bookie for DONOVAN to score in both halves as I couldn’t find it in BET365.
Cheers :D
I was looking for goalscorer markets on paddy power earlier but you’d have more luck finding the holy grail
john, I had same problem with the Atletico game later. Most bookies not pricing these. Right, I’m off. Got tonight’s treble down to about eight picks so need to cut it down in the morning.
have 4 bets on
over 2.5 goals at 10/11
over 3.5 goals at 9/4
usa – 1 at evens
usa -2 at 5/1
lee, all look good at HT. Let’s hope US don’t take their foot off the gas.
Mentioned it earlier but didn’t bet on it as I’m on USA and then atletico but my favourite team for overs Universidad de chile are 1-1 31st minute. Can always rely on them for goals!
Well done chris :) great price aswell
Chris you cheeky…did it again :D
Donovan scored in both halves. Happy Days Again.
Enjoy your day matey :D :D
Well done Chris, great price and cheeky bet if you can find the things :-)
Good nights work.
Money on Bayern. Check
Money on USA -1. Check
Money on USA HT/FT. Check
Also had over 3.5 goals in the Bayern Barca match and Paddy Power refunded my bet. Running gooood.
Thanks everyone. Glad to see a few winners on the us game. £260 on for me and £660 back so £400 profit. Can’t complain.
Why did paddy power refund your Bayern overs bet?
MrT, could have been due to length of the game. Someone said it was being played over 80 minutes and that may not have been advertised. If that’s the case some bookies may refund stakes.
Oh and the bet was with Skybet. 8/1 to score in both halves or 9/2 to score 2 or more. I decided on the 8/1 as I expected USA to score a few and with Wolfinski out Donovan was the man. Pity he never got first but we can’t win them all.
Universidad de goals finished 2-2, just like last week!
£50 Marco Fabian first goal @ 7/1
Good shout with Panama beating Mexico 2-1 again …nice double with Ludogorets
What a gold night!!! all 6 bets won :D :D

Sorry again just checked Atletico MG v Olimpia goals. So 6 out of 7 bets won :D Still gold night ;)
Big shoutout to Mr F asked him for the best one in his opinion took it and it came through! Well done to chris and dee who seem to have done unbeleivably well also! Cheers guys!
Max, they both came through anyway but Panama was more of a long shot.
Mr T, I have no idea. I’d imagine it was due to the length of the game changing.
But I thought I’d spend the money before asking questions ha.
Excellent tip on Panama Mr F, thanks. Just a little frustrated I only had £15 on it after spinning up a decent amount on Bayern and USA yesterday.
Clarkey, always nice to wake to a profit. Panama, USA and Atletico Mineiro all came good for me overnight. Like you I did small stake on Panama and a bigger on Panama plus one as the prices reflected they weren’t expected to win.

Paul great pick with Pananma. Didn’t see it myself
Chris, when Panama beat Mexico 2-1 in the group stage I tipped them +1 at 11-8. They usually do well in the Gold Cup and nothing had changed since that earlier meeting so 2-1 wasn’t a huge surprise although bookies got it wrong. Hoping that’s it though for Panama as I have USA on the outrights and tipped it at the start of the tournament.

USA
(11-8, William Hill)
Well done Dee
At the start of in-play it was switched to 80 mins but after about 30 mins inplay froze and went back to 90 mins. Full 90 mins were played so refund seems strange. I’d love to get my losses back but need a reason.
MrT, maybe it froze and you couldn’t get a bet on. Anyway, off to play a few holes, will check in later.
