I'm having some extra money (about 150 dollars). It was an extra income, so I could spend them on pretty much anything. I have decided that I'm going to make a bet with them.

I'm considering to put it on Juventus tonight. Unfortunately I haven't followed Juventus almost at all this season. So I need someone to fill me in on how we are doing. Is 1.25 a good odds?

Juve will most probably win. Though Treviso are not that bad of a team. My odd bet was 1.22, so I guess its alright.

    Thanks for the Info. Will have a shot at him.
    Sorry. Grosjean proved too strong. Bjorkman had his chances especially in the first set and I suppose was worth a try as the match was tougher than the long odds. But in truth Grosjean was the classier player.

    Not a great day today with Malisse somehow bottling it against Fish which is disappointing. Just Henman now to stop the day being a complete loser.

    Oh well...at least there is Champions League and the rest of the week ahead.

    $150 is a lot of money. You are free to do with it as you please. Although betting all of it on supposed 'certainties' will lose your entire cash. If you are just going to bet this once then by all means go ahead if you're comfortable.

    I can't be bothered to write a new explanation so read this post here which explains some betting mathematics of what prices should be taken.

    Good luck. :pint:

    I think I may have to follow that one with my poor selections this past week. I'm concerned on Milan though.

    Stripper: the price on the under 2.5 goals in the Anderlecht v Milan match looks really good.

    Vlatko: Kiev have looked really poor this CL campaign and Lyon are one of the most underrated European teams. Their away record in the competition has probably been the best in the last two seasons. They have a big squad and rotate without much detriment domestically. Also they have motivation to seal first place ahead of their visit to the Bernabeu.

    Milan havent been scoring, i think 1 goal in the last 4 games, while they havent been conceding. let's hope they dont go goal galore.

    ManU and Real would have been a safer option, imo. Kiev is a moody team. One day they play crap, the next day like superstars.
