Here’s one for you today;

Italian Serie B: Bari v Mantova

The last 7 games between the two have been under – only 8 goals in total.

7 of Bari’s last 8 have been under. Only 10 goals scored in the 8 matches.

6 of Mantova’s last 7 have been under. 12 goals in 7.

Best odds I can see at Coral – 1.67

Yeah, could do mate but I just don’t like unders.

The way I see it is that more often than not teams are trying to win. To win games you need to score goals. Why bet against what both teams are trying to do?

Also, sometime you can’t legislate for a dodgy offside goal or a defensive slip-up. My own view is that those kind of things do happen from time to time and so better to be on the overs side than unders.

Also also, With unders you’re limited to just 4 potential outcomes; 0-0, 1-0, 0-1, 1-1. Whereas with overs it could any number of scorelines 2-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-1, 3-2, 4-1, etc etc. In my simplistic mind this makes it more probable.

Is it something you’re into?

wicked stuff!

Just wondered if you could use your system to predict “under” games also?

i often find unders is a safer option when i find two teams that cant score to save their lives or normally play very tight defensive games!

Seems it finished 2-1.

Can’t wait for the weekend’s games. I can feel a winner or two coming up!

He Big d,

Absolutely mate! Just back from a wee holiday so will get back into it over the weekend. I had a game in Singapore looked at today but didn’t bet on it. Need to check how it went.

Oh well, Cluj came close and did well to hold Chelsea but it looked like they didn’t really want to win and were happy with a draw – always disappointing when you’ve got money on a team and see them taking it to the corner flag to waste time at 0-0.

Anorthosis and Pana delivered 5 bookings so that bet was landed.

Sporting and Liverpool won comfortably.

And I’m glad I stayed away from Shakthar. The 4/1 looked good up unti Barca stole it, controvesially in the end 1-2 with the winner in the 94th min.

There’s definitely a bit of a gamble on the Romanians tonight. Having been 19/2 earlier in the day I just went to put a tenner on them at 8/1 with William Hill. Before I could get it on the cut it to 7s.

Best I could get was 17/2 at Blue Sq
