I had a small accumulator bet and got everything else spot on. The thing that makes it more annoying is that it isn't the first time this has happened to me with Juventus.

Never, ever bet on Italian teams away from home.

You've told me that before... 🙁

Learning from your mistakes makes you grow as a person. Or, in this case, it will bleed your wallet. 🙂

Betfair: "Bet now on a First, Anytime OR Last Goalscorer selection in ANY of this week's UEFA Champions League matches and if there is a goal in the 1st 10 minutes we'll refund your losing bet as a free bet token, up to £/€25. All 16 games are included so pick your lucky goalscorers now!"

Theo FGS 9/1 is decent.

Thoughts on Roma vs Lazio, and City vs United?

Thinking of betting on both home teams, while hedging on a draw.

Four away wins in the last five Manc Derbies (I think?) - would stay away from that one. I fancy United though.

Odds aren't great either 🙁

Anyone follow Bundesliga?

Stuttgart vs Eintracht has good odds, Stuttgart at home against the bottom team. Looks like a decent bet.

Hannover at home v Augsburg is a great bet at prices around 8/5 and 6/4. They're excellent at home and Augsburg are very poor away from home.

Unders in the Manchester derby looks a good bet to me too. Can see United going there and keeping it tight. Might be a similar type of game to the Utd v Chelsea earlier.

My bookie is giving 2.35 on a Hannover win, 3.3 for a draw, nice 🙂 Think I'll hedge on a draw since I don't know the teams.

Bets placed on Hannover and Akhisar Belediyespor

Roma to win, Totti to score.

Don't be so happy about it. Soon enough you will have to pay that money extra in taxes due to all them immigrants invading your island! 🙂

I live in Hollande's France, most of my money goes to the state anyway! 🙁

Damnit.

EDIT: I did hedge on a draw though, so long as Bologna don't win I'm fine 🙂

Good, because that Milan game is a draw waiting to happen. They have El Sharaawy, Montolivo, Pazzini and Kaka on the injury list and Balotelli is suspended for being Balotelli.

2.2 for United at home (Betfair) seems stupidly high to me, wonder how long it's been since they had above evens against a non-CL side at Old Trafford.

Wouldn't have bet on Milan btw - an average team, away from home without Balotelli, not certain at all. Not that I know anything about Bologna. Edit: Basically what Klaus said!
