Figure I'll have less clutter on the board and post all my plays in this thread going forward. Current posted record is 4-1-3 (+.96) units, so here we go:

Real Madrid 1h ml (-109) - 3.27 units to win 3 units
- my big play for today, RM have led going into half time 12 out of their last 15 competitive games with an outstanding 17-2 goals for/goals against. Two of the three games they did not lead at half Bale did not start. leaving just 1 game in 15 with RMs full strength squad they were not able to have the advantage going into intermission. Their defense has been superb in their current form and although Schalke are in fine form themselves, I don't see there defense blanking the full strength RM side for the opening period. Schalke with impressive results but the last time they played teams of champions league quality they have a record of 1-0-3 with their only win over a fallen from grace Leverkusen side. In those 3 losses (Chelsea x2, dortmund) they have conceded 3 goals each game and have trailed at half in ALL 3 matches. Prediction: 1-3

No play on Gala/Chelsea, I lean towards the draw and under. BOL with your action.

Dominant performance by Madrid, easy winner. (5-1-3) +3.96 units

Betis (+400) -.3 units to win 1.2 units
- their la liga hopes are basically over. I believe they will give it their all today as this is their only hope left for the season. Sure they haven't won a meaningful away game in ages but with their talent I think +400 is way too high and I've seen another book actually have it at +280 so I think they are thinking along the same lines I am. Sorry for the late post, but this is a small play to start the day.

Shaktar 1h ml (-125) - 1.25 units to win 1 unit
- brazilians!!!

Salzburg 1h ml (-100) - 2 units to win 2 units
- Salzburg not taking anything for granted..Ajax will be attacking every chance they can get to try to make this tie competitive but this will leave big holes for Alan and soriano to carve up

 

[NickLeeson]

Shaktar down 2 at home and Salzburg had an unreal amount of chances that should have been put away, very very poor.
betis only winner.. (6-1-5) +1.91 units

Norwich/stoke under 2.25 (-120) .62 units to win .5 units
- both teams struggling offensively, Norwich with 5 goals allows in last 10 at home including a clean sheet vs city. Stoke shut out 5 of their last 6 road trips and only allowing more than once in the same span, against Southampton, Chelsea, and city no less. Prediction: 1-0

PSG 1h ml (-120) - 3.6 units to win 3 units
- let's face it, Zlatan takes it easy during domestic competition and lives for these spotlight moments. His ego is massive and although they have this tie all but over, he will be eager to add a clip or three to his highlight reel. Cavani back in the line up alongside a "slightly performing better" Lavezzi with Cabaye getting his first champions league start as well. It seems Leverkusen have conceded this competition with Son and Kiessling left on the pine. Sam has nothing left to prove as he is on his way to Schalke. I think this will be similar to the 1st leg. Only thing that worries me is if Paris decide to just pass the ball around for a half. Prediction 4-1
