I typically use them as a bank in La Liga play, and had them in a few favourite parlays this week. Only roughly ~1% on parlays. Was a little worried about Sociedad. So anyone have Barça screw them today?
Or maybe Real, who now has allowed a Getafe goal to put it at 1-1.
Don't add 1 team to a lot of parlays, also remember that these teams will always be overrated this season price wise. You will make more money predicting when they will draw/lose games than winning them.
For the 1.05 to 1.30 price range teams like Man City and Man Utd have more value for the handicap than the Spanish teams IMO.
No kidding, my EPL parlays are going to break me even this week with the losses due to La Liga, instead of the typical opposite. I didn't think Bolton would get completely steamrolled like that against ManU. City and United are damn good this year. Hate that City is in Bayern's group. :mad:
I think Barca fvcked a lot of people! I'm glad they draw :)
About Madrid, the -3 handicap was to much, I waited and took at HT and took -1.5, but in any case Madrid today looked awful!
The defense is not in good shape!
I also booked one lottery ticket of 6 games and the only game that lost was 'surprise-surprise'.. Barcelona! :ohmy:
No mayor loss though..
late goal for -1,5 hit
I bet my whole bank today on Manchester United and Ajax. Now on 123 pounds lol^^
A guy who can predict when Barca can draw/lose must be a geniusQuote:

Real Madrid or Barça could beat nearly any team 5-0 any night if they really wanted to, even my Bayern boys. The only thing is, is how do you know if they 'feel like it', unless you're in the locker room and hear Kaká, Özil, Ronaldo, and co. say: 'hell with this, let's just win 1-0 today'. :D I definitely was pondering on the juicy +3 though.Quote:

Yup, my 7 team 'lottery ticket' was Arsenal (why?), Man City, Man United, Barça, Real, Porto, and Bayern. Barça torched it. I typically hedge with smaller versions with those teams. Two had Barça, though. :laugh: :duh: Ohh well, broke even with them. Rarely do I lose them, I mostly break even, but they hit a decent amount of time (more than a loss at least).Quote:

Oly Man Utd looks solid enough not to have these kinda problems.

I had on a ticket:
Sociedad - X :+thumbs-2
Legia W - X :banghead:
Rapid W - X :+thumbs-2
I bet only 1 EUR, and the possible win was 128.60 EUR
I don't think so about this,,,,
