That was a splendid few hours I spent back in .500ville...

YTD: 169-172-23, -25.69

Adding:

Peru - Jose Galvez / Universidad San Martin Over 2.5 +100 *2 UNITS*
*The two worst defensive teams in Peru, and Jose Galvez has the highest goal per game average in the Primera Division @ 3.44, so hopefully this plays out a little better than that crapfest in Ireland this afternoon...

:ninja:

@braves: Looking it over, but nothing really jumps out at me (too few teams, not enough value). Might play some team totals though...
 
gotta love those 94th minute PK's, lol....\m/
Funny thing is, the defender clearly started dragging the San Martin forward down from outside the box, but the ref pointed to the spot anyways. Nice to have one of these go my way for a change at least...

Last night reminded me why I normally try to keep games to a minimum. There's a solution for that...

YTD: 177-181-23, -26.25

Sunday:

Finland - Veikkausliiga, Soccer
JJK Jyvaskyla/IFK Mariehamn 16-June-2013 8:29 AM PST

Spain - Segunda Liga, Soccer
Girona/AD Alcorcon 16-June-2013 11:59 AM PST
Total Over 2 and 2.5 for Game -116

*5 UNITS*

*Three of my four projection models have this going over, so... ; ) In all seriousness though, with this being more or less the end of the season, this one should be a little more straightforward:

Girona OVERALL: 1.76 GF, 1.33 GA
Girona HOME: 2.24 GF, 0.81 GA
Alcorcon OVERALL: 1.36 GF, 1.31 GA
Alcorcon AWAY: 1.05 GF, 1.71 GA

So based on probabilities, there's a very high probability that both teams score at least one goal each, and a very high possibility that Girona scores 2 or more goals (OVERALL: Girona 1.77, Alcorcon 1.39, HOME/AWAY: Girona 2.93, Alcorcon 0.65)
. Plus, the first three meetings this season ended 5, 5, and 2, so...

Having said that, the timing of the first goal is crucial in this one (the longer it drags on, the more of a chess match it threatens to become), but odds are this game's getting to 2, at the very least...

And as for why I wrote this up, I don't know... I guess if I'm going to throw a big one out there (and have people possibly tail, which I wish they wouldn't, but y'know...), the least I can do is provide some rationale for it.

FIFA - Confed Cup Team Totals, Soccer
Uruguay 16-June-2013 3:00 PM PST
Team 2 Goals Over 0.5 for Game -140

*5 UNITS*

*Iker Casillas starting over Victor Valdes should make for all the difference in this one, as will Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani starting up front for Uruguay. Spain may not concede many chances, but between an out of form Casillas and the quality of striker the Uruguyans can counter with, it may only take one quality chance for this to hit (plus with Suarez's theatrics, who knows, maybe a questionable PK opportunity might come to pass).

Thanks Mike. Apparently this is destined to be my 'thing' at CTG - dig myself a huge hole in soccer to start the year, then steadily have to climb out of it over the course of time. Let's just hope I can close out 2013 the way I did 2012...

Australia 18-June-2013 2:29 AM PST

*2 UNITS*

*When Australia play at home, they generally win at home, and they generally win by more than one goal at home; with a World Cup berth on the line and up against a depleted Iraqi side, odds are they'll win at home, and odds are they'll win by more than one goal at home.

*Thanks braves. Pretty much just made that bet out of frustration over the US game (plus my itchy trigger finger couldn't wait til the game total dropped to 1.5 *d'oh*). Still, Costa Rica clanked one off the bar just before the half, so at least it was close (unlike a few of my games this afternoon *SMH*)...

seems like brazil/italy should see 3 or more goals. what do you think about that?
Meh, I guess it depends on who scores first (Brazil scores first, that opens the game up; Italy scores first, they set up shop and attempt to frustrate the Brazilian attack). Plus, people are probably overestimating Italy's offensive capabilities as opposed to conceding they've played some fairly shaky defensive teams to this point. Gun to head, I guess over's the only real option but, having said that, if it goes over, it probably only just sneaks past...

Good luck.
 
i see italy/brazil going over and i have no clue about the other one but i'll probably just pick one to watch and bet neither.

I was at the bar having dinner and they had the MLS game on and I was cheering for you man. :cheers:
Thanks man. It would be nice to get some so-called "easy" games on a somewhat regular basis but, alas, I guess that's not meant to be my thing here at CTG (digging myself huge holes and kicking my coffee table day after day, that's my thing...)
