  1. Re: Norway - Tippeligaen - Lay Draw

    Yes' date=' it applies only to Norway Tippeligaen. I have other systems for laying the draw, but none nearly as good as this. Although I haven't tried any for other high scoring leagues such as Germany, Holland, Belgium, Turkey, and Brazil. I do not want to say anything behind the reasoning. However, I will say this. There will be about 1-2 games per week, and I expect the hit rate to be as high as 9/10. :)[/quote'] Cheers, mate - sounds interesting and I'll be following this thread. good luck :hope
  2. Re: WC Quals. 07/09 European Zone ROI v France Only TWO games in this group not invloving cyprus or the Faroes have featured over 2.5 goals - and they both involved a 2-2 draw with isreal - the swiss away and ROI at home. It's getting serious in this group now - wins will be vital but mistakes deadly. under 2.5 goals methinks.

  3. Re: WC Quals. 07/09 European Zone

    Anybody has some news on Austria? Yes' date=' they're already out of the games, but I hardly see them go to lose some points in Azerbijan, and 1,50 (at Snai) seems pretty good to me.[/quote'] see the last paragraph of my last post... I personally feel Azerbijan have got the ability to get a draw, especially with the state of their pitches - doesn't help people to play football....
  4. Re: WC Quals. 07/09 European Zone Right, here's some snippets of team neews for tonight... hope this can be of some use... Italian forward Alessandro Del Piero has been forced to withdraw from the Azzurri squad preparing for the crucial World Cup qualifier away to Belarus. An injury to his right thigh has forced the Juventus forward to return to Italy, ruling out any chance of playing some part in the fixture in Minsk. Del Piero was not expected to start the match, but could have played an important role coming off the bench for the Azzurri. England winger Joe Cole looks set to be dropped to accommodate the return of Michael Owen, despite scoring the winner against Wales at the weekend. Newcastle forward Owen was suspended for Saturday's 1-0 win in Cardiff but looks likely to earn an instant recall for the game against Northern Ireland. Coach Sven-Goran Eriksson is set to stick with his new 4-5-1 formation. Striker Wayne Rooney is expected to occupy Cole's role on the left side for the game in Belfast. Scotland manager Walter Smith believes patience is the key for the must-win World Cup qualifier in Norway. Wolves striker Kenny Miller is set for another lone role up front against Norway after his hugely impressive display against Italy. Nigel Quashie is rated no better than 50-50 by Scotland manager Walter Smith for Wednesday's make-or-break World Cup qualifier against Norway. The Southampton midfielder - part of Smith's favoured midfield quartet of Quashie, captain Barry Ferguson, Darren Fletcher and Paul Hartley - missed Monday night's training after being taken off during the weekend draw with Italy. But Smith is desperate to keep the four together so will not make a decision until on Wednesday. Scotland manager Walter Smith has drafted in Aberdeen FC Scott Severin for the fixture after the midfielder's club captain Russell Anderson pulled out with an ankle injury. The visitors will also be without the suspended Christian Dailly, although Steven Pressley is available following his ban against Italy. Scotland, five points adrift of the second-placed Norwegians in Group 5, need a win to keep their slim qualification hopes alive. Norway have reacted to the loss of three players through suspension and an injury to Steffen Iversen by recalling Egil Østenstad for the game against Scotland. The striker has not played for his country since 1999 but a combination of recent good form and a knowledge of Scottish football led coach Åge Hareide to turn to the former Rangers FC man. Iversen hurt his leg during Saturday's 3-2 win in Slovenia, while match-winner Morten Gamst Pedersen and Erik Hagen both picked up yellow cards and will sit out the tie in Oslo along with Jon Inge Høiland. Wales manager John Toshack is set to make four changes to the side beaten by England for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier with Poland in Warsaw. The only enforced change will see Rob Earnshaw replacing the suspended John Hartson up front. James Collins is poised to take Robert Page's place as one of the three centre backs, with Rob Edwards coming in at right wing-back for Richard Duffy. Jason Koumas is set to come in for Carl Robinson in a central midfield role. Wales have now failed to score in their last four matches. Liverpool striker Fernando Morientes will undergo tests on Wednesday after injuring his thigh in the final training session before Spain face Serbia & Montenegro. Doctors say it is too early to determine the extent of the damage. But insiders say it is suspected he may have torn a muscle, which could sideline him for several weeks. With Morientes absent, Spain coach Luis Aragones is likely to put striker Fernando Torres alongside Raul. Lithuania v Bosnia With Lithuania having proved tricky opponents so far, perhaps Sliskovic is sensible to be cautious, but with Mirsad Bešlija, Ivica Grlic and Branimir Bajic back from suspension for Wednesday, the tide of fate may be turning in the former Yugoslav republic's direction. They will be without the banned Emir Spahic, but if they can keep their heads and hope that all around them start losing theirs, those painful memories of EURO 2004™ qualification could be obliterated by the greatest success in the annals of Bosnia-Herzegovnian football. The Czech Republic have lost two of their key players to injury ahead of Wednesday's visit of Armenia in FIFA World Cup qualifying. Goalkeeper Petr Cech bruised his shoulder in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Romania and has returned to Chelsea FC, while Marek Jankulovski flew back to AC Milan today for treatment on his ankle. Coach Karel Brückner also has concerns over two first-choice midfield players as captain Tomáš Galásek and Tomáš Rosický both missed the defeat in Constanta and are doubtful for the tie in midweek, although he will not call up any reinforcements. Jaromír Blažek, of AC Sparta Praha, is set for a first international start since February between the posts in Olomouc. France coach Raymond Domenech will give Djibril Cissé as much time as possible to recover from a sprained ankle for Wednesday's vital Group 4 game in Dublin against the Republic of Ireland. The Liverpool FC forward scored twice in Saturday's 3-0 defeat of the Faroe Islands, only to have his celebrations soured by that ankle blow. "He'll be spared training until Wednesday," said Domenech of Cissé. Defender Lilian Thuram seems certain to play, however, after limping off at the weekend with a thigh strain. "The injury just requires rest," said the Juventus FC player. "As I'm not injured very often I can't say how my body will react." The Irish, who are level on 13 points with France and leaders Switzerland with three games to go, hope to have midfield duo Damien Duff (knee) and Matt Holland (rib) available. "Damien's injury is a bigger concern because it was picked up on Thursday but he should be OK," said manager Brian Kerr. Andy O'Brien and Kevin Kilbane have both overcome illness, however, and are available for selection. In Group 6, Austria coach Hans Krankl has called up Michael Mörz, 25, for the first time as fellow midfielders René Aufhauser, Markus Schopp and Joachim Standfest are all suspended for the game in Azerbaijan. San Marino coach Giampaolo Mazza has called in four players, three of whom are uncapped, for Wednesday's Group 7 game in Belgium, while Iceland, out of the running in Group 8, have travelled to Bulgaria with a fresh face, Bjarni Ólafur Eiríksson, due to Gylfi Einarsson's suspension.

  5. Re: WC Quals. 07/09 European Zone

    caution on betting on teams who have "nothing" to play for and wait for team news. ukraine have qualified already cause they are a very strong side - tempting as it is to lump on turkey at that price they have been playing a little below expectations and unless something dramatically changes in both teams play or ukraine's lineup, you can equally say this is a good price for Ukraine. Last Nov Ukraine thumped turkey 3-0 in Istanbul and Turkey have yet to win against quality opposition away in this group. Poland are banker material , also like the look of Switzerland at 1.50 - don't see a reason why they wouldn't be all out to beat Cyprus as this is there big chance to consolidate their position at the top of a tight group
    Poland should win tomorrow but I would hold back on the banker status at least until we know more about the Polish line-up. A defensive feel is to be expected and although we don't play too well away, it would rely on Poland having a decent game to get the goal (or 2) that they'll need for the win. A Polish win would heap pressure on England but Toshack has targeted finishing above N. Ireland in the group and a point would please most supporters, I feel. I'm slightly tempted to go for >2.5 goals but won't be making any decisions until tomorrow. As for the Switzerland game - I have to agree that despite the mediocre opposition, this presents as a must win game. In this group, 3 pts is = the other teams playing 3 games as there are so many draws here. The odds won't excite people but, barring major problems, the game should be there for the taking.
  6. Re: WC Quals. 07/09 European Zone

    Some news regarding the Welsh Line up..... Cardiff City midfielder Jason Koumas could line up for Wales in Poland on Wednesday evening.
    239316-1.jpg
    John Toshack could make 4 changes to the side that narrowly lost to England. Up front Robert Earnshaw will replace the suspended John Hartson (I hope they remember to change tactics) and at the back James Collins is set to replace Robert Page. Another defensive change could see Rob Edwards replace Richard Duffy. The 4th change could be a start for Jason Koumas ahead of Carl Fletcher.

  8. Re: Midweek Bets....

    Just one for me Italy at 1/2 against Belarus! clap.gifclap.gif Am I only the only person who thinks its a massive bargain?
    I ain't touching Italy at that price - yes, I think they'll win but I'm not putting me hand in me pocket at 1/2. The Italians will have played more international than club games with this match and weren't exactly setting the world alight in Scotland. A good defensive display (which is likely to be expected) from Belarus could force the 0-0. If anything, I might look at >2.5 goals tomorrow but would like some more info first. If you do bet on Italy, good luck:hope
  9. Re: WC Quals. 07/09 European Zone

    I know that what I am going to write may be quite strange' date=' but it is very important IMO. Everyone talk about banker which is [b']Poland. And now I am 100% sure that it will be OK. Why ?? Yesterday players from Wales was seen in one of Warsaw pub`s...there were also polish players, but there was one difference...Poland drank juice and Wales beer :D It shows how our opponents come to the game :rollin And odd about 1.30 on Poland is VERY good. GL :hope
    Beer is our version of 'juice' - if we weren't taking it seriously it would've been straight spirits!:rollin seriously tho, as a Welshman I have to say :wall and :cry
  10. Re: £10,000 for £10 (10 bets)

    and a quick note......... Yes, i do trust his info. Its been good to me in the past and he reckons that overs should be about 1.4 or 1.5 for this. i have to admit though that I know NOTHING at all about these two at U-21 level
    From the info I could get this morning, I've layed Austria - I've been expecting this to be a dull drab uneventful game. Azerbijan have improved at home through dogged displays, whereas Austria are very poor away from home. So, 2-1 Azerbijan (or better) will suit us both!:hope
  11. Re: £10,000 for £10 (10 bets)

    By all means' date= please do........... I have been thinking about this due to difficulty in getting bets matched at Betfair. Would anybody be pissed off if I tried to change the rules to make £10,000 from the original £100? as this is more than possible before Xmas. The way I see it is......... Imagine trying to get £250 on a bet of 2.2 ? Firstly, you might only be able to match £50 at 2.2, then 100 at 2.0 and maybe the next £100 at 1.8..............!!!! To me that does not represent the original value!!!! I am interested in what you guys have to say as all your comments have been taken in and absorbed bigokay.gif Luckily, I have been on a bit of a streak but logically these streaks dont last long!!! Up to you guys........but its my money!!!! I will continue as we are at the moment but when I get caught with just 2-3 lines left, then I need advice bigokay.gif cheers in advance for any help
    I feel that you should do what YOU feel you should do. After all, it is YOUR money. It would be great to see you win your £10,000 but don't let that wonderful figure make you lose a smaller fortune. Remember, for every £100 you win - that's another FREE go. I think it's safe to say we'd all love to see you beat the bookies big time:ok , but make sure you ain't :wall from losing a big stake.
  12. Re: Tuesday: Lithuania U21 v B&H U21 (!!!) naff odds but Poland u21's should beat Wales u21's (unless someone can tell me why that Poland u21's are awful/injury hit....) over the last 5 years, the Welsh u21's away record has been; lost to Austria, England (twice), Italy, Serbia & Montenegro, Finland, Norway, Ukraine, Armenia, Poland, Belarus drawn with Latvia beat Azerbijan (twice) Wales u21's aren't quite as poor as previous years due to management change and some better players coming thru the ranks but are still easy pickings when away. Welsh u21's have been hit by withdrawals of Lewis Price (Ipswich Keeper), Richard Duffy (full back currently on loan from Portsmouth to Coventry), Joe Ledley (Cardiff midfielder) amongst others as they are in the senior squad... anyone got any info on their country's u21 teams??? There's got to be value around here...
