Week 6
Quickly made my supertoto for today! So in stead of paying 0.90 euro it will be 1euro. Now i have to win something.
Good luck,
Dremeber
Supertoto week 5
For this week these 3 games are:
W. Bremen - Frankfurt: The reining Champions need to start a winning streak.
Liverpool - Derby: A no brainer I guess. While nothing is sure within football Liverpool should be a banker within everybodies bets.
Man U. - Sunderland: Man U also a banker for this weeks bets. They cannot afford to loose another home game so early in the start of the season.
Good luck,
Dremeber
week 4
So close!
So many chances but Lyon and Marseille let me down.
To bad cause 11 correct would have meant 30 euros.
How can you convert 0.10€ into 100.000€?
My start wasn´t what I was hoping for, my best result was 6 good predictions. To many draws within the French league, which I didn´t see coming. But I guess not many of us did. Cause 11 correct out of 14 paid an astonishing 33€. Believe me this is a lot.
For this week on, many more familiar leagues will be joining the SuperToto.
In
In
You can expect that Bayern will win there first home game, just like Marseille. Werder should be capable of winning in
No easy matches within the Premier league. Against all odds in I hope on a victory for

Week 1: of the Unibet SuperToto Challenge
Still alive and kicking
For the moment I´m putting more effort in my poker blog than in my sportsbetting blog and there are only 24 hours in a day. And off course you can only write about poker if you are playing poker.
Also don´t underestimate the effort needed to find each week interesting matches and try to come up with the good analysis. Therefore I have decided that for next season I will use a different approach.
Unibet offers each week a big Toto. Each week 14 matches. Most of the time from England, France, Spain, Germany and Italy.
Filling out a ticket costs only 0,10€. With other words peanuts.
Each week I will discuss during the week these games and will fill in 5 to 10 tickets. So at maximum it will cost me one whole euro a week. An amount which I can easily miss (I hope!!).
This way I will rule out the mistake I sometimes make with selecting games with a feeling, which is not always a good thing to do.
Sometimes there are also midweek toto´s with for instance the Uefa Cup and/or Champions league matches. Depending on the time I have I will also give comment on these SuperToto. The disadvantage is that within these Toto´s you need to have 7 or 8 out of 8 correct to fall into the prices and only these toto´s are more expensive.
So at maximum there will be around 50€ at stake.
If someone is interested to help me with the games of Spain or France, please leave me a comment. My knowledge about these strong competition is pretty low, so help is always welcome.
Also my stats pages are going to change cause most of the stats which are present now will be meaningless within the new approach.
I´m thinking of posting the next stats.
- Biggest win in money with one ticket
- Biggest win in money per play day
- Times 14 correct
- Times 13 correct
- Times 12 correct
- Times 11 correct

Weekend picks
Almost the end of the football season. An excellent time to prove that I have it in me to choose the correct bets with the correct result.
Nothing is decided yet. It is already know that Lierse or Beveren will relegate directly and that the other will have to play the face-offs. The title fight is getting to its summit. Anderlecht has to play a derby at home against
It will be close but I expect a victory for Racing Genk, based on the home advantage. They never play good against Charlerloi but a lot is going on in Charlerloi. The head coach was sacked two weeks ago cause he signed for Club Brugge.
Still 3 teams in the running for the title. Schalke has a difficult away game at
Werder cannot afford a misstep in this phase of the competition. So it predict an easy victory for Werder.
The title is for
If
5 more match days to go. Barca has a lead of 2 points on Real and 4 on Sevilla. While the chances of Sevilla have decreased a lot after the loss against Real, they cannot be counted out (yet). Also curious how Barca is going to react on the blow they got in the Cup. A 4-0 loss in
Again no double this year for
1,11 euro on
Good Luck,

Week 18
5 out of 7 correct, but even with single bets I would have made a loss.
All competition are now in the final phase, in some countries the champion is already know in others 2 or more teams are still in the running for the title.
My picks for this weekend:
Belgium:
3 match days to go. It is exciting at the top and at the bottom of the league. At the top Genk has a very difficult away game at Lokeren, who still needs points to be mathematical sure, Anderlecht should have an easy home game against Beveren. Still due to these facts I don’t feel confident about this game to place a bet on them. There is just to much at stake.
GBA (8) – Cercle Brugge (14) (1.80, 3.40, 4.25)
Both teams only play for the pride and money. For this match I favour GBA, cause they play at home. At home GBA always tries to dominate the game and a lot of team have problems with this unBelgian play style. A good team can profit from this, but I don\t see Cercle winning this. GBA will score at least twice, while Cercle rarely scores away from home.
Bundesliga
3 teams are still in the running for the title. Schalke (@ home against Nurnberg), VFB Stutgart (@ home against FSV Mainz 05) and Werder Bremen (away @ Hertha). Only 2 points separate these teams. Werder has the disadvantage that it has played in the Uefa Cup last Thursday, which consumed a lot of physical and mental energy.
VFB Stuttgart (2) – FSV Mainz 05(17) (1.38, 4.00, 9.75)
Mainz still has a chance to avoid relegation but then they need to win @ Stuttgart and I don’t see this happen. Stuttgart dreams of a new title and cannot afford a defeat at home against a relegation campaign. My money will be on Stuttgart.
Premier League
While nothing is sure in Football, Manchester U has 95% chance to win the title. At the bottom 4 teams are trying to avoid relegation. Further more there is the battle between Liverpool and Arsenal for the last direct CL ticket. Liverpool has 2 chances, one via the Premier League and the other one can be won in the CL final against Ac Milan.
Reading (6) – Watford (20) (1.45, 3.85, 8.00)
Watford is already relegated, while Reading is currently standing at a Uefa Cup place. Before the season only few fools would have placed a bet that Reading currently would be standing 6th. But they are playing nice and attractive football. With the home crowd behind them, they should be capable of winning against Watford with big numbers.
France
With 4 more match days to go, the champion is known. But still some existing battles for the second place and a direct ticket to the CL. There is only a gap of 3 points between number 2 and number 5. While is not mathematical yet, Nantes can not avoid relegation any more. The same fate for Sedan. The question is which team will join them in the La Ligue 2. Probably Troyes but Nice and Valenciennes are still in the danger zone.
Le Mans (14) – Nantes (20) (1.80, 3.25, 4.65)
Nantes had a revival after the winter break and transfer season but now all magic is gone. They play as they have given up the fight. Le Mans will be mathematical safe with a victory so my money is on Le Mans.
Seri A
I find this the strangest major competition of all of Europe. Don’t know why and if I knew I probably I could not undermine it. Probably still the remainder of the old Catenacio play style.
Torino (17) – Acsoli (20) (1.22, 5.50, 14.00)
Torino needs the points to prolong their stay in the Seri A. Ascoli already knows that next season they will be playing in the Seri B. Not a surprise if you can win only 3 games out of 34. For Torino this is an ideal chance to take the three points and climb some places into the more safe spots.
Lazio Roma (4) – Livorno (12) (1.50, 3.55, 8.00)
Lazio still has a chance on a direct CL ticket. With in the back of the mind that AC Milan played last Wednesday a crucial CL game and has a difficult home game against Fiorentina, there is a rather big possibility that they can pass AC Milan this weekend. Condition number 1 is that they win themselves at home against Livorno. But I see this happen.
La Primera Division
Still 6 match days to go here and at the top of the league nothing is decided yet. Probably Barcelona, Sevilla FC and Real Madrid will take the CL tickets. After this weekend Real Madrid or Sevilla probably will see their title chances decrease a lot. Both face each other @ Real. A draw means probably that Barca will see their lead extended to 3 points. Valencia and Zaragoza are battling for the preliminary rounds of the CL. At the bottom Gimnastic will relegate. 4 other teams are battling to avoid the 2 other relegation places.
Real Sociedad (19) - Barcelona (1) (6.25, 3.75, 1.55)
Not a gift for Sociedad to face Barcelona, which cannot afford a misstep at this moment of the competition. If Barcelona wins they will increase their lead on at least one of the 2 other competitors for the title. So no doubt, Barca will win.
Levante (18) – Gimnastic (20) (1.75, 3.35, 4.90)
A real relegation match. Gimnastic, if they win, can keep their dreams a live. Levante on the other side can take a decent distance from Real Sociedad (if they loose as predicted). If predict that Levante will win based on the home advantage and the fact that they still have real possibilities to stay in La Primera Division.
Okay the matches are selected, now let’s make some winning combinations.
Cause my intention is to bet only 3€ I will make one double and 2 trixies.
Combo 1: Reading, GBA and Stuttgart -> 3.60€
Combo 2: Barcelona, Lazio Roma and Le Mans -> 4.18€
Combo 3: Levante and Torino -> 2.14€

Online betting Guide
The correct score bet on Espanyol - Werder Bremen (3-0) rocketed my sky high on the overal ranking. I ended at the 14th plave overal, good enough for 5 ponds.
With the team we ended up in 4th place. Just beside the podium and price money. In the ranking of the Uefa cup I was second but to bad that I didn't place 5 bets on the Uefa cup in the past month :(. So no extra 5 pond.
But hey, playing on OLBG is great fun. You can try your bets and most important it is for free.
So, I just need to win 20 more ponds so that I can cash out :).
Good Luck,
Dremeber
Here we go again
Due to the absence of an internet connection at home I probably saved a lot of money with placing no bets.
From this weekend on, my bets are back. This time I made my selection without looking @ the odds. I have selected 8 games in which I think I can predict the winner without taking to much risks. At the end of the season some more factors kick in, while selecting the game.
- Is the season over for the team (already relegated, avoided relegation, no chance anymore on a European ticket). Such teams only play for the pride (depending from country to country) and the money.
- Also in a lot of teams where the outcome is already known, youngsters will get a chance to show their capabilities. These youngsters are very motivated, which can turn a game around.
- Is a team still in the running for a European Ticket or the title.
- Can a team still win the cup?
All these things have to be put into consideration when choosing your bets.
My picks from this week:
Belgium:
In Belgium the race for the championship is still close. Anderlecht has a 2 point lead over Genk. At the bottom of the table, Lierse is fighting back and still has a small chance to avoid direct relegation. Anderlecht has a though away game at Roeselare, who with held Standard last year of a chance on the tittle. Genk has an on paper easier home game against Moeskroen.
AA Gent (4) – Mons (9) (Won)
AA Gent has to win this game to keep up with Standard in the battle for the third place and a ticket for the Uefa Cup. For Roeselare the season is over. They are on a save place and don’t have any chance anymore on an European Ticket. I predict an easy win for AA Gent.
Racing Genk (2) – Moeskroen (11) (Won)
If Racing Genk wins this match, they will put immense pressure on Anderlecht who will face an hour after the outcome of this game Roeselare. With the terrific home crowd this should not be an obstacle in Genk’s race to the championship.
Netherlands:
In the Netherlands it is already known who is going to relegate an who will be playing the play-offs for relegation, but at the top of the table nothing is decided yet. Nr 1 will be champion, but the number 2 until 5 will be battling for the second CL ticket. So it is possible that PSV will end with no nothing after their lead of 11 points was given away. 4 other teams are battling for the last ticket for this play-offs (Feyenoord, Heereveen, Roda and Groningen).
Roda JC (7) – Heracles (14) (Won)
Roda still has a chance on a ticket for the play-offs where the second CL ticket will be given to the winner of this play-offs. First of all they have to win their own match, secondly Feyenoord and Heereveen have to draw. They will take the victory against Heracles, who just avoid relegation.
Excelsior Rotterdam (16) – AZ (1) (Lost)
If AZ wins this game they probably will win the title for the first time in 26 years. If they win, Ajax has to win with 7 goals more than AZ does. Let’s be honest, while everything can happen in Football, I don’t see this happen. With the drive for the title I don’t see AZ losing this game and the title.
France
Lyon has won the title! But still nobody knows already who is going to win the remaining CL tickets.
Toulouse (4) – PSG (16) (Lost)
Toulouse is still in running for a CL ticket with direct qualification for the group phase of the CL. They are 1 point behind the second place. So a home win against PSG is mandatory!
Lyon (1) – Le Mans (13) (Won)
Lyon won last the title without playing. I hope that want to give this title some extra shine with a home victory against Le Mans. For Le Mans the season is as good as over. A small chance on a Uefa Cup ticket but then a lot of teams has to start losing points.
Spain
It is long ago that the title battle in Spain was so close. 7 match days left and still 3 teams have a realistic chance on the Title. Sevilla, Barcelona and Real Madrid. This weekend Barcelona has on the paper the easiest match of the three. But as always you are never sure.
Barcelona (1) – Real Sociedad (19) (Won)
There is still a small chance that Sociedad can avoid relegation and Barcelona still has the lead of the Primera Division. So a lot is at stake. Both teams will be very motivated but Barcelona has so much more power and quality that they will win this game 90 times out of 100. Enough to put my money on Barca!!
One whole euro on each combo.
Combo 1: Lyon, Roda JC and Barcelona -> 2.22 -> Won
Combo 2: Toulouse and KRC Genk -> 2.81 -> Lost
Combo 3: AA Gent and AZ -> 1.75 -> Lost
Good Luck,
Dremeber
Its alive
Scarlet Belgium was capable of solving a time-out problem within the adsl connection within one fucking month.
So, you can imagine that I'm going to look for a new internet provider.
From next week on I will bring you again my sportsbets for the week.
Cheers,

Still alive and kicking
In the weekend we completed to move to a new house. Completed is a big word. The furniture is now there, but still there are a lot of things in the appartment that we have to bring over.
For the moment I don't have an internet access at home. So no time to predict the score of next week friendlies.
cheers,
Dremeber
Busy, busy, busy
Had to install a new LAN at home, cause my modem died on me after a power failure caused by a broken boiler.
Besides that I have to arrange everything for the move of Saturday the 24th of April. You can't imagine what kind of paperwork you have to fill in. Tomorrow we will sign the deal and get the keys of the house and then the real hassle can begin.
For this week I will only bet on the weekend games.
Cheers,
Dremeber
Indian Wells
It feels like bad beats at Poker. Sevilla not capable of winning, as GBA and Lens. Strange results this weekend.
Okay back to Tennis, let's see if I can change the red figure at the bottom of the post into a green one. Cause it is not going so good at the moment, I will stick with single bets. The positive side of this is that the risk is much lower, the other side of the medal is that it will take me longer to get back in the green figures. But sportsbetting is a marathon, not a sprint.
Bartoli (23) - Safina (12) (3.55, 1.28) (-/-) -> lost (2-0)
My money is on Safina. She's playing very well this year. Bartoli is losing at lot lately against player which are much lower ranked than she is.
Golovin (19) - Stosur (29) (1.28,3.55) (0/1) -> Won(2-0)
While the head to head stats favour Stosur, I favour Golovin. Stosur is coming back from an injury. After an injury, does not matter how small it was, it is always a mental thing. Didn't I start to early, etc. Against a much weaker player this will not influence the game but against a though opponent it will.
My bets:
A 1€ single bet on Safina with a possible pay-out of 1.28€. -> lost
A 1€ single bet on Golovin with a possible pay-out of 1.28€. -> won
Total at stake: 2€
Possible pay-out: 2.56€

Weekend bets
For this weekend I have 4€ available. 2 combo's and 2 single bets.
Charleroi (6) - Mons (12) (Won(1-0))
I was doubting about this game but I don't see any reason not to bet on it. While Charleroi has a home reputation, Mons certainly does not have an away reputation. They couldn't win their last 6 home games.
Moeskroen (15) - GBA (8) (Lost(1-0))
I really like how that GBA is playing. And finally they have two scoring strikers. It took Cavens have a season before scoring his first goal, but now he's scoring with his eyes closed and giving away assist like he has never done before. Together with Sterchele they are a nightmare for each team in the Jupiler League, based on this I expect that they will win at Moeskroen.
Nürnberg (4) - Eintracht Frankfurt (16) (Lost(2-2))
Nürnberg has to play on Friday, which gives them an excellent chance to put pressure Leverkussen with whom they are fighting for the last European ticket. But they have never won at home against Frankfurt, but for everything there is a first time and I hope it will be this weekend. Cause they have won their last 4 home games I'm positive about it.
Lens (2) - Sedan (20) (Lost(1-1))
I cannot believe that Lens will loose points against Sedan. If they want the CL tickets, which is available for the second place, they have to win the home games against the 3 last of the Ligue 1.
Reggina (17) - Lazio (4) (Won(2-3))
Very nice odds for Lazio Roma. I cannot give a good reasening for this but I think that Lazio will win this one. Don't be fooled by the place of Reggina in the ranking, cause they had an 11 point deduction, without the would be standing 8.
Heereveen () - RKC waalwijk (17) (Won(1-0))
I really have no idea why the odds for Heereveen are so high but I will not complain. Heereveen has more than 80% chance to win this match so I guess it is a no brainer. RKC couldn't win away from home this season and Heereveen has a good home reputation.
Gimnastic (19) - Sevilla (1) (Lost(1-0))
With the topper Real - Barca on the schedule this is an excellent opportunity for Sevilla to take more distance from Barca.
My bets:
A 1€ single bet on GBA with a possible pay-out of 2.60€. -> Lost
A 1€ combo on Charleroi, Sevilla and Heereveen with a possible pay-out of 3.71€. -> lost
A 1€ combo on Lazio and Nürnberg with a possible pay-out of 6.08€. -> lost
A 1€ sinble bet on Lens with a possible pay-out of 1.55€. -> lost
If 2 of these bets are correct, I will make a profit this weekend again. Should be possible with the 2 single one. It would be very nice If Lazio and Nürnberg can do me a favor.
Total at stake: 4€
Possible pay-out: 13.94€

Uefa Cup
Today 8 nice UEFA Cup games. All with nice odds. So a lot of potential for wins but also for big losses.
S.C. Braga - Tottenham (Won (2-3))
Very nice odds for Tottenham. enough to place a bet on. The keep the combo safe I will play this one as a single bet.
Maccabi Haifa - Espanyol (Lost(0-0))
Again nice odss for the visiting team, who should be capable of winning in Israel. Despite the confidence I have in Espanyol, I will also place a single bet on this one.
My bets:
A 1€ single bet on Tottenham with a possible pay-out of 2.30€. -> won
A 1€ single bet on Espanyol with a possible pay-out of 2.25€. -> lost
Last night my ADSL modem died on me. So I will have restricted internet access for the next weeks. I don't know if it I should buy a Wireless ADSL router cuase my ISP has the idea that it can't garantee ADSL service to my new address.

Ac Milan and Manchester United
I just forget the CL yesterday, which was a good thing cause I wanted to bet on Lyon. Phew.
I have a good feeling in AC Milan and Manchester United today. Ac Milan has to win against Celtic to qualify after the scoreless draw. Manchester United does not need to win to qualify but will win to satisfy the home crowd.
The odds for both teams are the same, 1.37 for a home win.
Manchester United - Lille (Won(1-0))
AC Milan - Celtic (Lost(0-0))
Maybe better to stay away from Arsenal - PSV. Arsenal has to win and PSV is very good in the counter attack. With Kone they have a suited striker for this. In normal situation Arsenal should win this game, but how longer it takes them to score the opening goal, how bigger the confidence of PSV will become. If it is still 0-0 at half time, I think PSV will qualify.
My bets:
A 1,22€ combo on Ac Milan and Manchester United with a possible pay-out of 2.29€. -> lost
Total at stake: 1.22€
Possible pay-out: 2.29€
Actual pay-out: Pending€

First bets of the month
Not a lot of interesting games to place a bet on this weekend. At least that is my idea. Lot of games where the outcome will be difficult to predict, meaning lots of big winning capabilities.
AA Gent (4) - Lierse (18) (Won (4-0))
This one should be an easy Win for AA Gent. While the quality of Lierse improved after the winter break there is still not enough quality to survive, also it seems that they are playing without passion. Gent is also out on revenge after 3 losses in a row.
Werder Bremen (3) - Bochum (15) (Won(3-0))
Also this one should result in an easy victory for the home team. But in the bundesliga there are no easy games. The head to head statistics back me up on this one. But I wouldn't be surprised if Bochum will win for the first time in Werder after I placed the bet :). Still my money is on Werder.
Dortmund (9) - Cottbus (12) (Due to a mistake when registering my bets, I made a mistake a took Werder twice -> void)
Cottbus is one of the weakest away teams from the bundesliga, while Dortmund is at home above average. In 80% of the cases Dortmund will win this games. Therefor with these odds it is a good bet.
West Ham (19) - Tottenham (9) (Won(3-4))
The most difficult bet for this weekend. My money will be an the Hotspurs. West Ham is sliding down the table, while Tottenham won their last 3 games. Tottenham scores in most of their away games and West Ham have troubles with finding the net (no goals in their last 3 games).
AC Milan (6) - Chievo (15) (Won(1-0))
After a bad season start AC Milan in now on cruise control. Ronaldo puts extra weight in the attack and scores easily. Nope, I don't see how Chievo will return to Verona with one or more points.
Valencia (3) - Celta de Vigo (15) (Won(1-0))
Valencia my favorite team in Spain, which makes it extreme difficult to try to find a good Valencia bet. While Valencia in within the top 3 if we only would could the home games, Celta is fourrth in the away table. But Valencia will be motivated, cause with the clash between Sevilla and Barcelona they can be the winnar of the weekend with a victory. The head to head stats increases my believe in a victory for Valencia.
My bets:
Combo 1: a 1€ bet on AC Milan, AA Gent and Werder with a possible pay-out of 2.46€. -> won
Combo 2: a 1€ bet on Werder and Valencia wit a possible pay-out of 1.98€. -> won
Single 1: a 1€ bet on Tottenham with a possible pay-out of 2.30€. -> won

Looking back at February
I ended up with a 11 eurocent profit. Better than a loss I guess.
50% of my combinations were correct and 60% of my single bets.
The best markets were:
Tennis -> 13 bets -> 13 correct
The Premier League -> 5 bets -> 4 correct
The Jupiler league -> 6 bets -> 5 correct
But still there is lots of space for improvements. I wasn't capable of prediction a correct match for the Eredivisie and la Ligue 1.
Also for the first time I made a profit in the tipster competition in which I participate. I made a profit of £1,147.
So for this month the goal is to get 5€ profit and qualify for one of the prices in the tipster competition.
Good Luck,

National cup matches all over Europe
Today there are a lot of cup games going around in Europe and a complete matchday in Italy.
Coup de France
Montceau - Lens (Lost (1-0))
Besides the first round against Nancy, the road to the quarter final was very easy for Lens. Also they should qualify for the semis.
Beker van Belgie
Club Brugge - KVK Kortrijk (Won(2-1))
I cannot imagine that Brugge is going to loose this game. Probably over will also be a good bet. The cup is the only chance for Brugge to win something this year, maybe it is also the only chance to play within a European Cup next year.
Inter (1) - Udinese (8) (Lost (1-1))
Inter still has to loose at home this season and this won't happen tonight.
My bets:
A 1€ bet on the combo Club Brugge and Lens with a possible pay-out of 1.65€. -> lost

ATP Dubai and Coup de France
Today there are not much interesting soccer games and for the moment only one tennis game in which I have confidence.
Coup de France
Marseille - Vannes (Won(5-0))
I guess no explanation needed!
Youzhny, M(18) - Nieminen, J(19) (Won(2-1))
Interesting odds for Youzhny, who is playing like a dream at the moment. Last week he won the tournament of Rotterdam in which he defeated 3 player within the top 20 of the world and the number 8 (Ljubicic). I don't see any reason why he would not continue his winning form.

A quick tennis bet!
I can understand the loss of Schalke but not the draw of Feyenoord and Valencia.
No much betting this week. Within Belgium Megabike will start on Saturday, so a lot of time will be put in making my teams. Doing better than last year is almost impossible after winning a race and getting a second place in another one. But there's no shame in trying.
A quick bet for today:

The tips for this weekend matches
For this weekend I have selected 8 matches and the stake for this weekend will be 4€. Maybe I should not bet anymore this month. That way I can end the month with a profit for the first time since the opening of my blog. I also will update the stats after this post.
Club Brugge (5) - Sint Truiden (13) (Won (1-0))
Alot has been going on on both clubs this week. The head Coach of Sint Truiden tried to resign cause there is not enough quality within the team and Brugge is still licking its wounds after the defeat of last weekend at Bergen. while Sint Truiden has a reputation as giant killer they don't do these often away from home. They even rarely win away from home. Club is were you best put your money on. The head to head stats say it all!!
KRC Genk (1) - Roeselare (8) (Won(3-0))
Roeselare is the surprise of the Jupiler League this season. While everybody expected them around place 12-14, they are standing8th. They only won once away from home this season but that was at Club Brugge. KRC Genk at home is like a bastion. they didn't loose at home this season and only drew twice. Shouldn't be a problem for Genk, cause if they win there is a chance that they will run away a few points from Anderlecht (I wouldn't place money on Anderlecht away at Lokeren).
Bayern Münich (4) - Wolfsburg (10) (Won(2-1))
After the defeat at Aachen there is no other option then winning for Bayern and I believe they will. The 3-2 loss at Real will be the moral booster.also the Head to Head stats gives an indication that it will be very difficult for Wolfsburg to go home with one point or more.
Schalke 04 (1) - Bayer Leverkussen (8) (Lost(0-1))
Schalke has won its 5 last home games and will extend this streak with another one this weekend cause Leverkussen has problems with winning away from home.
Liverpool (3) - Sheffield United (15) (Won(4-0))
This should not be a problem for Liverpool. Certainly not after the win at Nou camp. And to this the facts that Sheffield has one of the worst offence stats away from home and the Liverpool only conceded 3 goals at home and you know the winner!
Ado Den Haag (18) - Feyenoord (5) (Lost(3-3))
Really nice odds for Feyenoord. In 80% of the cases they should win this match so therefor it is worthwhile to take the risk. However Feyenoord never won at Ado, but everything there is a first time even for Feyenoord in this season. Feyenoord lost their last three away games also, while ADO could win within their last 4 home games. Still my money is on Feyenoord.
Barcelona (1) - Atlethic de Bilbao (17) (Won(3-0))
No problem to guess the winner here, I guess! This weekend an excellent chance for Barcelona to take some distance from Sevilla who have to play on Getaffe.
Gimnastic (20) - Valencia (3) (Lost(1-1))
Everybody is telling that Gimnastic is not good enough for the Primera Division and I share that idea. The odds for Valencia are nice, nice enough to place a bet on. Cause don't forget that they only won 4 away games this season.
My bets:
A 1€ bet on the combo Barca and Feyenoord with a possible pay-out of 2.26€. -> Lost
A 1€ bet on the combo Valencia, Club Brugge and Bayern M. with a possible pay-out of 2.92€. -> Lost
A 1€ bet on the combo KRC Genk and Liverpool with a possible pay-out of 1.63€. -> Won
And a 1€ bet on the single Schalke 04 with a possible pay-out of 1.70€. -> Lost
Total at stake: 4€
Possible pay-out: 8.51€
Actual pay-out: 1.63€

The champions League part II
Watch the game of PSV last night against Arsenal. I don't think that PSV stole the victory. Arsenal was nowhere is the second half. PSV had more chances on 2-0 then Arsenal on 1-1. Also a pity that AC Milan was not capable of scoring, while they should have.
Barcelona - Liverpool (Lost(1-2))
* Barcelona arrived at this stage after taking second place in Group A behind Chelsea, while secured their last-16 place on match day 4, as group C winners, already.
* Barcelona already faced an English team at home 22 times. They won 13 times, drawing 8 and just lost ONE. But the nice part is that this loss was against Liverpool in the 1975/76 UEFA cup semi-finals. After which Liverpool won the Uefa Cup.
* The previous encounter was during the group stages of the CL in 2001/02. When it was a scoreless draw at Nou camp and a 3-1 victory for the Reds at Anfield.
* Benitez has never lost against Barcelona, but I feel that tonight will be the first time.
* In the ten previous visits of Liverpool to Spain they won 5 times and just lost on 2 occasions.
* Within the group stage Barcelona conceded only four goals, while scoring 12.
* Liverpool conceded 5 goals and scored 11 and only lost 3-2 in Galatasaray.
* Sunday evening Barca lost 2-1 at Valencia, who will face Inter today!
* Liverpool lost their last away game against Newcastle United with 2-1.
* Eto'o will not play. The official statement is that he lacks match rhythm. While probably the cause is the fight with Rijkaard and Ronaldino.
Inter - Valencia (Lost(2-2))
Just trust me on this one. i don't see Valencia winning or drawing at Inter. Inter hasn't lost a competition home game this season but lost their first home game in this CL campaign against Bayern (0-2). After this game they only concede 3 other goals in the remaining 5 matches.

Champions League Part 1
Celtic - AC Milan (Lost (0-0))
I know, I know at can hount at Celtic Park. They won 9 out of their 12 home games in the CL. But Milan has won 6 out of 8 in Scotland in the CL. So why wouldn't they do it again. Also it is going to be a gala match for Paolo Maldini who can play in his 100th CL game. 6 less than altime leader Raul.
Lille - Manchester United (Won(0-1))
This one shouldn't be a problem for Manchester U. They are playing like a dream at the moment. Lille only scored three times in their last 5 matches. Not very impressive and not a morale booster to face Man U, who scored 13 times in their last 5 games and only allowed 2 goals against. No Man U is in my eyes a big favorite.
Top 5 appearances in a CL game:
Raul (Real Madrid) - 106
Roberto Carlos (Real Madrid) - 105
David Beckham (Real Madrid) - 102
Oliver Kahn (Bayern Münich) - 100
Paolo Maldini (Ac Milan) - 99
My bets:
A 1€ combo on Ac Milan and Manchester United, with a possible payout of: 4.78€. -> Lost

Uefa cup and tennis
Today the bets will be a mix of Uefa Cup football and Tennis. I will avoid the combos for today. The games in the Uefa Cup will be close and it is not easy to predict the winner. I only have confidence in one match. I admit that these isn't my fanciest post, but a win is a win.
CSKA Moskva - Maccabi Haifa (Lost(0-0))
CSKA reached this round of the Uefa Cup after ending at the third place within the CL group. Haifa qualified pretty easy in their UEFA cup group after a draw at Livorno. But now, I don't think they have a chance is Moskva.
ATP San Jose
Becker B. (49) - Vemic (364) (Won(2-1))
Pretty nice odds for such a ranking difference. I tried to find the angles but couldn't. Vemic played only one ATP tournament this year (Delray Beach) and lost in the first round against Sanguinetti, who was eliminated in the following round by Becker. This should not be a problem for Becker.
WTA Bangalore
Sucha (94) - Mirza (46) (Won(0-2))
I believe in Mirza. But Sucha already had defeated a player for the top 25, so why coulnd't see win for the number 46. Mirza is also on a roll, she reached already twice the semis (Pattaya and Hobart). No, Mirza will win.
My bets:
A 1€ bet on the combo Mirza and Becker with a possible pay-out of 1.66€.
A 1€ single bet on CSKA with a possible payout of 1.33€.
Total at stake: 2€
Possible pay-out: 2.99€

Tennis, tennis and again tennis
ATP San Jose
Udomchoke (79) - Spadea (64) (Won (0-2))
They have never played against each other before. 2 year ago around this time of year Spadea was number 18 of the world. This year he is playing a lot better than previous and I expect him to get back in the top 50 of the world. Udomchoke is playing more challengers than ATP tournaments. I don't give him a chance against Spadea.
ATP Costa do Sauipe
Ferrero (27) - Roitman (77) (Won(2-0))
And again a match between 2 players who have never faced each other before. While Ferrero is the big favorite if we look at the ranking his form is not promising. Played 3 matches this year, lost 2 and only won one. Still I believe that Ferrero should win against Roitman, who won two matches this year but that was against player not within the top 150 of the ATP ranking.
WTA Antwerp. The tournament with the most beautiful trophy. A golden racket covered with diamonds. The estimated value of the racket is set at 1 million euros. If Mauresmo wins this year she may take it home.
Maes (235) - Bammer (47) (Won(0-2))
This should not be a problem for Bammer, who won last week, for the first time in her a life an WTA title. The only advantage Maes has is the support of the home crowd, but I doubt that that will be enough.
The bets:
Today 1 combo and 1 single bet.
I have placed a 1€ bet on Spadea with a possible pay-out of 1.37€. -> won
I have placed a 1€ bet on the combo Bammer and Ferrero with a possible payout of 1.90€. -> won

Tennis bets and recap of the weekend
There are some interesting tennis matches today. I'm very disappointed that I didn't put any money on the Davis Cup game between Belgium and Australia. Very well done by my fellow country men. I'm very proud.
San Jose
Chela (39) - Martin A. (56) (Won(2-0))
The last 4 encounters where won by Chela indicating that he knows the responses on the play of Martin. Martin only has won once this season, but that was against Monfils. The other games were lost against Rochus O., Roberedo and Murray. My money is on Chela.
WTA Antwerp
Vesnina (56) - Safina (11) (Won(0-2))
The head to head stats are not helping here, cause they have never played before. I have the feeling that it will we be a straight sets victory for Safina, but I cannot explain why. We will see.
The bets:
A 1€ bets on the combo Safina and Chela with a possible pay-out of 1.75€. So a possible ROI of 75%. Which is not considered bad for a bet. -> Won
Total at stake: 1€
Possible pay-out: 1.75€

Revival weekend for PSV, Lyon and/or Bayern??
Westerlo (8) - Bergen (14) (Won(2-1))
Bergen lost 5 out of their last 6 away games, Westerlo 4 out of their last 6 home games.I have no doubt that Westerlo will win this one.
Lokeren (15) - Roeselare (6) (Lost(1-1))
I really don't understand how it is possible that Roeselare stands so high in the ranking and why Lokeren stands so low. Football I guess? Roeselare away from home is no succes but Lokeren at home also not. Roeselare surprised everybody by winning 0-1 with a last minut goal against Brugge. They surely will not win twice in a row away from home. Also Football is improving in Lokeren, so my money is on them.
Bayern Münich (4) - Arminia Bielefeld (10) (Won(1-0))
I cannot imagine that Bayern will continue with their bad streak, they haven't won in their last 3 games(2 defeats and 1 draw). The defence probably will be re-arranged (a big chance that Van Buyten will start on the bench). Bielefeld hasn't won in their last 6 games so an excellent victim vor Bayern to improve their confidence.
Manchester United (1) - Charlton (19) (Won(2-0))
I give Charlton no chance. 99 times out of 100 Man U will win this one. No further comment needed.
Reading (6) - Aston Villa (13) (Won(2-0))
For a newcomer Reading has an impressive track record at home. Aston Villa is climbing in the ranking. My money is on Reading who hasn't lost in their last 6 games.
Arsenal (4) - Wigan Athletic (17) (Won(2-1))
Arsenal should not have any problems with Wigan. While Arsenal possibly sometimes gets surprised away from home, this rearly happens at home. Arsenal hasn't lost yet at home. The money is on Arsenal.
Lyon (1) - Lorient (7) (Won(1-0))
The loosing has to stop for Lyon, while they still have a big lead the pressure on the team is increasing. Their last victory is from the 20th of january (5 games ago). Lorient only won 1 away game from their last 6 and I consider them a sitting duck.
While it is still unknown which matches will be played with or without a crowd, I'm not going to make any predictions. I consider this a match day to dangerous to bet on.
Sparta Rotterdam (13) - PSV (1) (Lost(1-1))
Ages ago that PSV lost back-toback. Pretty confident that they will work out their frustation on Sparta. The losses of PSV gave AZ and Ajax back titles hope and PSV likes the crush these again as soon as possbile.
No matches where I have enough confident in.
So, 8 matches made the cut. Now it is a matter a connected the dots.
It will be split up in 3 combo (2x3 and 1x2).
My bets:
On each combo 1€ will be placed
Combo 1: Lokeren and PSV -> possible pay-out 2.95€ -> Lost
Combo 2: Westerlo, Manchester United and Readin -> Possible pay-out 3.90€ -> won
Combo 3: Arsenal, Lyon and Bayern -> possible pay-out 2.21€ -> won
Total at stake: 3€
Possible pay-out: 9.06€

Dechy - Mauresmo
Most of them had the expected outcome like the win of Holland against Russia and the deserved victory of Check Republic against Belgium :(. This last one indicates that we, Belgians, can forget about qualifying for the next european championships. There was not a real team on the pitch. The defenders made a lot of mistakes, etc... Strange how a player like Van Buyten is not able to play one good mathc for his national team. Time and time again he makes mistakes which always results in a goal. Maybe this is alo the problem for Bayern!
The second round of the Gaz de France in Paris.
Dechy (53) - Mauresmo (3) (Won (0-2))
Dechy was elimated in the first round in the 2 previous tournaments she played this year. While the defeat at the Australian open against Hingis was expected, the defeat a Sydney against Craybas came as a surprise to me. In the first round of the tournament she won against Garbin. For Mauresmo it is the first match of this tournament after the bye in the first round. I don't think that she will have any problems with Dechy.
The real dare devils also can place a bet on a 2-0 victory of Mauresmo.
Tomorrow I will post all my football bets for the weekend. Investigation starts as we speak.

International friendlies and Gaz de France
Rezai (43) - Vaidisova (9) (Won (0-2))
The only previous confrontation was at the French Open last year, where Vaidisova won 2 sets to 1. The remark to that is that Reiza at that moment in time was number 142 of the world, while she made a lot of progress since then. Rezai is not in form, losing in the first round of the Australian Open and lost in the second round at Sydney. Vaidisova on the other hand won 8 matches this year and lost 2. In both tournaments where she participated this year, she reached to semis, loosing against Jankovic in Sydney and against Serena Williams at the Australian open. I expect a 2-0 win for Vaidisova.
Chakvetadze (13) - Poutchkova (35) (Won (2-0))
The first encounter was won by Poutchkov, but after that it were 2 victories for Chakvetadze, who has an excellent start of the year. She won at Hobart and reached the quarter finals at the Australian Open where she lost from Sharapova. Poutchkov on the other hand never got further this year than the second round. Also don't forget that Chakvetadze already won this year against Poutchkov at Hobart with 7-6 and 7-5.
I have placed 1,46€ bet on this combo with a possible pay-out of 1.94€. -> Won
It is always dangerous to bet on friendlies. You never know what experiment the teams are going to try out. Still one in which I believe.
Greece (16) - South Korea (51) (Lost (0-1))
Played in London. Greece is still the raining European Champion and Korea can't be compared any more with the team while coached by Hiddink. It is a little bit risky cause Greece lost their last 3 friendlies. South Korea lost their last 2 friendlies. Last year the played against each other in the LG Cup. The result was a 1-1 draw. If you don't believe my prediction that Greece will win, under can also be a safe bet.
I have placed a 1€ bet on Greece with a possible pay-out of 2.15€. -> Lost
Total at stake: 2.46€
Possible pay-out: 4.04€
Actual pay-out: 1.94€

I'm won a little bit of money back with a last minut bet on the correct winner of the Superbowl. My profit their was 1.08€.
I'm curious what the Italian soccer federation is going to do with the riots during the derby last friday. Such behaviour is unacceptable.
This week the Tennis tournament in Paris starts, let's hope we can recover some of my loss.
Safina (12) - Krajicek (70) (Won (2-0))
While Michaelle has a lot of potential, she still is not strong enough to win against somebody from the top 20 of the WTA ranking. She played two matches this year and lost both, so also the motivation will not be at a very high level. The only encounter between these 2 players was last year on grass. Krajicek surprised by winning in 2 straight sets. Safina already won the tournament of Gold Coast this year but failed on the Australian open, where she was eliminated by Li. I think that Safina will win this time in 2 straight sets.
I have placed a 2€ bet on Safina with a possible pay-out of 2.46€. -> won
Besides Tennis, this year also the World Championships Alpine skiing take place.
On the program today: the Super G for men.
I have placed a bet on the head to head between Cuche Didier and Gruber C. Ofcourse my money is on cuche.
I have placed a 1.78€ bet on Cuche with a possible pay-out of 2.84. -> Void
It is very dangerous to bet on skiing cause everybody can fall and everybody will take risks to be the world champion. Bet hey, I need to win back some money.
