Basketball : Euroleague 23rd Dec 2004

[edtkh]

1710 UK AEK Athens v Barcelona 2.00 15.00 1.72 1840 UK Maccabi Tel Aviv v Zalgiris Kaunas 1.10 19.00 6.50 1910 UK Olimpija Ljubljana v Scavolini Pesaro 1.33 17.00 3.25 1940 UK Benetton Treviso v C S K A Moscow 2.10 15.00 1.66 Estudiantes v Efes Pilsen 1.90 15.00 1.80 Tau Ceramica v Pau Orthez 1.08 19.00 7.00 On first looks, I thought Barcelona (1.98 at Betfair) may be value as there will always be the chance to lay them back for in-running. Anyone with any takes on tonight's matches? :loon

Re: Basketball : Euroleague 23rd Dec 2004 I wouldn't recommend backing Barcelona today. They are coming off a record defeat in their last gaem, are away at a hostile Athens crowd, and are now missing their centre Gregor F*cka, who is a big presence for them inside. The bookies moves have all been in favour of AEK since yesterday. Barca are now 2.16 at Unibet, having been 1.70 yesterday. These moves are not always right, but something seems amiss in the Barca camp. British bookies have not been as quick to pick up on these factors, as you could back AEK +3 at 1.90 until earlier this afternoon.
