    Default Call Your Champions League Upset Today

    Had a moderately priced upset yesterday with Lyon over Liverpool and the big one with Rubin Kazan over Barcelona. Got any today? Figured maybe some of the fellas on here might do right and give a couple SBR points to anyone who accurately calls one today. I know I will.

    My thoughts ....

    Besiktas +655 (BetPhoenix)
    Playing better domestically after a slow start. Wolfsburg defense is still a bit shaky. This is the best "long" shot upset IMO for today, although Wolfsburg will probably just outscore them even if they concede a goal or two.

    AC Milan +475

    Real's defense is atrocious. If Milan play Roni/Pato/Inzaghi, they're capable of an upset especially that Real are playing without Ronaldo.

    Thing is with teams from Turkey, they are good at home but usually stink on the road...
    Wish you luck though...

    Zürich gets my vote, I dont bet it but a home dog @+350 ? Kind of like that..

    Well, I like Besitkas and Milan, but I generally stay away from Italian teams in International play and as mentioned above, Turkish teams have trouble on the road. So, my crazy ass upset of the day is:

    Maccabi Haifa +1205

    I'll more than likely throw a unit or two on the +1.5, because Juventus has not been impressive lately, Haifa played Bordeux close in their last CL game and I dunno...I just don't think Juventus is motivated in this competition. They're such huge favorites that they just might blow it.

    Ac Milan +0.5

    Besiktas upset is also an outside possibility, Turkish teams generally don't play well away except in Germany as there is a big Turkish population who usually make themselves heard in games when these teams come to town.

    Milan show me the money
    Besiktas held out for the draw aswel, there was alot of value on it but I'm happy with the +700 I got for Milan, no need to be greedy.

    I decided to take a chance with my dwindling 5Dimes account, taking a Chelsea/ACMilan/Palmeiras parlay. I'll be on the edge of my seat for game 3... Thanks for the AC Milan call guys.

    I had another one of my days where I thought too much. I had Besiktas +1, +1.5 as a play to make, but talked myself out of it to take the over in that match instead.


    Couple others I liked hit too, that I didn't play. Good luck Palmeiras guys!

    It happens. You like something, then you overthink it, then you talk yourself out of it and it eventually cashes.

    Yep yep. The question is why do I let it happen continually?


    I need to trust my instincts more and remind myself of this every time I bet. I'd rather lose on my instincts than to sit there and look and look and look. I actually sat there and told myself today, what are you doing? I was in the midst of picking the Porto/APOEL UNDER at 3, but thought better of it - would have pushed it .... then went back to one of my defaults for today, Chelsea OVER, talked myself out of it because of some of the Chelsea absences and then settled on the crap I chose.

    In fact, I am amending my signature at SBR to remind myself!
