Today is when you should bet on Milan, Irish.

They're at home at least! Still have all their injuries though, don't they?

Klaus

Yes, but the opportunity is too good to pass up. They could climb 6-7 places in the table and Sampdoria are pretty bad.

Napoli looks like another good bet. This is one of few times where I would break the "never bet on away teams" rule. They have been better away from home this season and they're probably eager to make up for the embarrassing draw against Sassuolo midweek. Think Maggio is the only injury they have at the moment too which makes them the least injured team in the league. Genoa have a ton of doubtful players and they've looked poor both home and away.

...Then again, they are coached by Rafa Benitez, the only manager in the world who has failed to grasp the three-point system. There's definitely a certain risk involved here.

Irishgunner

I was thinking of betting on Napoli, but stopped because of your rule 😆

Thoughts on a double? Or play it safe with two single bets?

Irishgunner

I lumped 50€ on Modena this morning, currently winning 2-0

Klaus

I would play them as singles. Maybe avoid Napoli altogether if you're strapped for cash. It's still difficult to call teams this early in the season. Both games could go either way. If Milan and Napoli don't get three points here they have set themselves up for a very difficult season though. Milan in particular.

Irishgunner

Cheers, I'll drop a tenner on both. Looks like I'll be making a profit regardless thanks to Modena.

This morning I also stuck 1€ on a united, city, Fulham, Southampton quadruple.

Captain

I backed that acca too. Can see someone letting it down.

Irishgunner

Fulham or Southampton could be draws, but if bent and Berbatov click I can see them winning. Southampton really should be winning too, we'll see though!

United to win, city to win (no Benteke too).

Klaus

😆 Southampton was the only game in that accumulator that went the way it was supposed to?!

I was trying to bet on both the Manchester clubs in an accumulator bid just before the kick off. Was livid at the time that there was a system failure at my betting site which didn't let me confirm my bet.

Laughing my arse off at the moment. Makes the results even sweeter for me.

Yep 😆 Luckily it was my "fun bet" of the day, only put down 1€!

You're a lucky man est! 🙂

My bookie seems to have removed the English Championship, bit of a shame 🙁 It's a real pain to sign up to online betting sites in France, can't be arsed signing up to another one.

Irishgunner

I always try to avoid Arsenal, but damn, odds of 2.3 are tempting, especially after having seen the team.

Gone for an Arsenal win, hedged on a draw.

Irishgunner

2-0 Napoli + an Arsenal win 🙂

Irishgunner

Thinking of a Roma + Monaco double @ 2.02

Thoughts on Sunderland vs Liverpool? Liverpool @ 1.55 isn't great, but Sunderland are in terrible form. Risk of the "new manager effect" though.

EDIT:

Liverpool team: Mignolet, Enrique, Sakho, Toure, Skrtel, Henderson, Lucas, Gerrard, Moses, Suarez, Sturridge.

Subs: Jones, Agger, Aspas, Ilori, Sterling, Ibe, Wisdom.

Sunderland team: Westwood, Gardner, Colback, O'Shea, Cuellar, Larsson, Ki, Cattermole, Johnson, Giaccherini, Altidore.

Subs: Wickham, Celustka, Ba, Mannone, Ji, Roberge, Mavrias.

Irishgunner

I won the Liverpool bet, chickened out of Roma (5-0 win) and Monaco (1-1 draw).

Irishgunner

Bets placed on the following:

Cesena vs Pescara @ 2.55

Fiorentina vs Parma @ 1.58

Granada vs Bilbao @ 2.2

Parma equalise in the 90th minute.

10 man Pescara equalise in the 88th minute.

Fucking bullshit.

Klaus

Never bet on Serie B. Never bet on Fiorentina.

Lukaku anytime goal scorer should be considered from here on out....he's about to break out
