LA Angels - Oak Athletics

Posted on September 5th, 2007 in sportsbetting free tips by admin

One thing is sure : in MLB one team is really hot : LA Angels .

The Angels will try to keep this run going as they send one of their best pitchers to the mound today in Saunders.Saunders 7 - 2, 3.62 era has been fairly good of late,he has won 2 of his last 3 starts and beaten Boston and Texas with a loss to Toronto,his numbers against the A’s this year are 1 - 0 in 2 starts this season with an era of 3.65,career wise his numbers read 2 - 0 with an era of 5.40.The Angels are 3 - 1 in Saunders last 3 starts against the A’s.

The A’s will counter with Blanton,Blanton 11-9 , 3.88 era,he has not faced the Angels this year but has career numbers of 2 - 6 with an era of 3.69. Oakland has a record of 2 - 3 in Blantons last 5 starts in LA.Blanton has two wins and a loss in his last 3 starts he won against Detroit and Toronto but was chased from his match against the Devil Rays quite badly with the A’s finishing 11- 1 losers.

The Angels are very hot right now and even though I think they may lose to Di Nardo today,I don’t think they will lose two in a row to Oakland,the A’s are just not playing as well as they can and have’nt been for a while now,their usual great second half of the season has not appeared this season and it’s not likely it will either,they are just not playing well enough to string wins together against the top teams and against the Angels who are just so hot now it would be near on impossible.

Apart from the Angels being hot,Blantons shaky record of late and Saunders great record against the A’s the other reason I really like the Angels today is because the A’s are 20 - 21 against Right handed pitchers while the Angels are 66 - 40 against Righties,I like the Angels and Saunders here today by 3 runs,Good Luck.

So today s pick goes to …

LA Angels - 1,5 @2,32 played at 10 BET

LA Angels - Oak Athletics 2-6 *pick lost

J Henin - V Williams

Posted on September 7th, 2007 in sportsbetting free tips by admin

wta And we are in the semi’s of Grand Slam. Number one Justine Henin against number fourteen Venus Williams.Henin plays just fantastic here, no set lost, only few games given to opponents. In her game we see all off the best technique, style, condition and well psyche. Very smart game against Serena Williams gives her a 2:0 victory.

Let s see Venus now … I know it’s hard to beat in America Williams sisters in one tour, but Henin is the God of court here. Venus is well performing too, but her match against Jankoic shows that she isn’t so good as Henin. You can break Venus and you can presume her to make mistakes. Jelena was tired but even she was able to win a set with American star.

I’ve heard gossip about that Henin is endind her career soon, and she will open a tennis academy in Belgium. If that’s true, she will do everything to grab her last grand title. And even motivated to take revenge for her sister Venus won’t stop her.

It will be nice match and hope to see Henin in final!

So today s bet goes to :

J Henin to win @ 1,52 played at Gamebookers

Henin won 2-0 *pick won

Texas Rangers vs Oakland Athletics

Posted on September 8th, 2007 in sportsbetting free tips by admin

The Rangers are hot in the last couple of games even if their are last in American league West they are just 2 fames behind the A’s and with two more games on home ground against the Athletics they can pass them. The game tonight is just too good to miss wagering on.Texas will send Kason Gabbard to the mound. He is 6-1 this season for the Rangers and even though he has a bad record against Oakland you can rely on him tonight. He has proven to be a very good acquisition when the Rangers got him form The BoSox this July.

Chad Gaudin will start for the Oakland Athletics tonight and this is just bad news for them considering that he has a losing record over the Rangers. He is 1-4 against them with a 5.90 ERA. His numbers this season are not impressive. He has a record of 10-10 with an ERA of 4.25. The A’s have been poor lately losing 6 of their last 7 road games and 9 of their last 13 games overall.

Take the Rangers to win this one and the series.

So today s bet is :

Rangers to win @ 1,94 played at 10 BET

Rangers won 7-3 *pick won

France - Lithuania

Posted on September 10th, 2007 in sportsbetting free tips by admin

Lithuania versus France or Lithuania vs Tony Parker.The question is,can the San Antonio Spurs star beat alone the Lithuanian team.Looks pretty hard …

Players like Turiaf,Diaw,Kirksay give solutions to the French team sometimes but noone of them is a value solution.The French squad counts only one negative result,a defeat by Slovenia in the end.The strong defense is the reason that France has possibly qualified to the next round already.Teams like Italy,Poland,Slovenia and Germany were not able to find solutions against the tight French team.

Lithuania is a totally different team.It is a team with the best offense of the tournament.If one or two players are not in a good day there are some others who can replace them.

We ll go with the lithuanians for this one : better team , better motivation. So , today s pick is :

Lithuania to win @1,57 played at 10 BET Good luck !

Ballack to leave Chelsea

Posted on September 10th, 2007 in news & reviews by admin

BallackFinally , looks like the german midfielder is on the move . Was about time ….

He admitted on Sunday he was disappointed to be left out of Chelsea’s Champions League squad, while reports from Britain have linked him to Real Madrid.

The 30-year-old Chelsea midfielder was unhappy after being left out when Chelsea’s 23-man squad was named last week, but there is speculation in the British press he has been offered a deal to join the Spanish giants.

Ballack is still recovering from the ankle operation he had last April and the injury kept him out of Germany’s 2-0 Euro 2008 qualifier win over Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.

“Of course, I am disappointed to be left out, it is clear the decision was based on how long the doctors think I will be out for,” Ballack told the German Football Federation’s website.

“But I want to be back playing as quickly as possible. I need time to recover from the ankle injury. I have had two ankle operations and I still get a bit of pain, but I can’t train or play at the moment,” he said.

This is the first time Ballack has expressed his disappointment at Chelsea head coach Jose Mourinho leaving him out of his squad for the Champions League group stage games.

“I don’t really understand why Chelsea took this decision which has led to speculation,” said Ballack.

According to British Sunday tabloid paper The People, Ballack was omitted from Chelsea’s Champions League squad because he has agreed a switch to Real Madrid.

The 77-times capped Germany international was officially left out because of his injury, but the Sunday tabloid reports Ballack has agreed a 135,000 pounds a-week (200,000-euro) deal with Real Madrid.

Portugal - Serbia

Posted on September 11th, 2007 in sportsbetting free tips by admin

Portugal was one of the teams with no luck at all in previous round of qualifications for Euro 2008. They had great number of chances and poor finishing, some good saves and lack of luck were the main reasons that they failed to beat Poland. They conceded lucky goal with sot from long range, the ball hit the woodwork and from goalkeepers back, went into the net.

Serbia played terrible match against Finland. They failed to create a single chance against, to be fair, well organized defensive line of Finland. But, the fact that Serbia barely dominated against Finland who gave the possession to Serbia is the fact that worries many Serbian fans. Yes, they are good defensively, but the midfield and the attack are not good at all, although they have some good players on those positions.

This is to be or not to be for both teams and Serbia will be more than a happy with a draw from this match. First match in Belgrade ended 1:1 . Portugal drew their last two matches and now instead of being on first position they are on the third, behind Finland and Poland. Portugal will dominate this match for sure, they are much better side, they have play that creates a lot of chances and Serbia looked poor in their attack. They probably will sit back and wait on counters, but I believe that Portugal cannot be the unlucky team in three matches in a row.

So the right choice for this game is :

Portugal -1 @2,17 played at Pinnacle

the game will be played on 12 Sep 07 at 22:00 CET 

bad strike for Portugal

Posted on September 12th, 2007 in sportsbetting free tips by admin

What was the worst thing for Portugal happened … a late goal for the visitors and the bookmakers smiled .
A few lines from the UEFA site :

“A last-gasp equaliser from Branislav Ivanović denied Portugal second place in Group A and kept alive Serbia’s hopes of reaching UEFA EURO 2008™.

Portugal could have closed to within two points of leaders Poland with a victory and they appeared on course when Simão fired them in front after eleven minutes but Ivanović stunned the home crowd with an 88th-minute leveller to leave Serbia just a point behind their opponents. The home side made the perfect start as Simão’s precise free-kick, awarded after Nenad Kovačević had fouled Cristiano Ronaldo, found the target.

The Portuguese had Petit to thank for preserving their lead after he produced a fantastic block minutes later to deny Zdravko Kuzmanović’s goalbound effort. Then Nuno Gomes headed Bosingwa’s inviting cross against a Serbia post and Maniche blasted the rebound straight at goalkeeper Vladimir Stojković. Ronaldo went close with two further efforts as Portugal searched for a telling second goal.

Serbia became more composed as the second half progressed and Kovačević wasted a glorious chance to restore parity by firing a half-volley over the crossbar following Ricardo’s poor punch. The real drama came late on, however, as with two minutes to play, Dejan Stanković’s free-kick caused panic in the Portugal penalty area and Ivanović was able to turn the ball in from close range.

There was still time for Ivica Dragutinović to receive a red card in added time but Serbia had done enough to earn the draw. Group A could not be much tighter ahead of October and November’s qualifiers, with Poland and Finland on 21 and 19 points respectively, Portugal two points further back in third, and Serbia a point behind them in fourth – with the latter two countries each having a game in hand. ”

So , Portugal - Serbia ended 1 - 1 *pick lost , stay close more free tips still to come !

Hou Astros vs Pit Pirates

Posted on September 15th, 2007 in sportsbetting free tips by admin

MLB Even if it s a full soccer season , we ll continue our journey between the bookmakers with a new free tip from the passionate MLB !

In today s game we have two outsiders from the NL Central who begin a three-game series at Minute Maid Park. I think, all in this series will be decided in pitching stuff. So , Hou Astros vs Pit Pirates

Astros’ starting pitcher Roy Oswalt (14-7, 3.41 ERA) is the best one in his team. Besides, he is 11-5 with a 2.62 ERA lifetime versus Pittsburgh, winning his last five (!) decisions in a seven-start span since losing to the Pirates on April 25, 2005. He is 6-2 at home against them and has given up just one run in each of his last three starts at Minute Maid Park while winning two. Then, Oswalt is 39-13 against the money line in home games over the last 3 seasons!

For Pirates Ian Snell (9-12, 4.00 ERA) makes his third start at Minute Maid Park this season in a bid for a first win. He is 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA in three starts and four career outings at Minute Maid Park and 2-3 lifetime against the Astros. His form is not so good in last matches (for example, four runs and seven hits in seven innings of a 5-1 defeat to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday).

So, I think, Oswalt will stifl Pirates’ offence, and Astros’ batters can collect 3-4 runs agst Snell.

Toronto FC - 11 games without winning !

Posted on September 16th, 2007 in news & reviews by admin

One of the most exciting leagues is no doubt the North American MLS . One weird thing happened lately with the Toronto FC . With a lot of injured players they are right now in a critic situation.

If bad luck had a name yesterday, surely it was Toronto FC , as the club extended its winless streak to 11 games in a 0-0 tie with Real Salt Lake in spite of FC outplaying its opponents. For those counting, it also extended the team’s Major League Soccer record goalless streak to 822 minutes.

But for all of the zeros at the end of the day, TFC players weren’t in the mood for giving up after a game in which they dominated at both ends of the pitch.

Right from the opening kick, the team descended on Salt Lake goaltender Nick Rimando almost at will with first rookie Andrea Lombardo, then Collin Samuel, Maurice Edu and Marvell Wynne all getting shots inside the penalty area.

Wynne later left the game with a hamstring injury.

All that an astounding 12-3 shots on goal advantage amounted to, however, was applause from the 20,098 fans at BMO Field.

Manager Mo Johnston , for the first time this year, was at a loss for words after the game.

“I’m absolutely speechless,” he said. “We controlled 90% of the play and came away empty.

It’s hard to think of what’s left for Johnston to do other than throw on a shirt and shorts and put himself in front of the opposition goal.

“Listen, don’t think getting out there in the penalty box myself didn’t cross my mind,” he said.

Even the return in the second half by star striker Jeff Cunningham couldn’t steer the ball into the net.

Cunningham was playing his first game in almost two months after suffering a sports hernia.

With 96 goals on his MLS resume during stints with four teams including Salt Lake, Cunningham can’t figure how the ball won’t go into the net for this club.

“I’m telling you right now this is the most talented team I have ever played on in my MLS career,” he said. “I don’t understand it. I was sitting on the bench in the first half and I couldn’t believe my eyes.

“In any other game we should be ahead 3-0 after that first half.”

Johnston also announced he has been given a two-year extension on his contract with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd. and already is planning a scouting trip to South America after the season to look at players.

“We are looking to add six or seven new players next season,” he said.

We should keep an eye on this team , because they have some good odds for a win in the next games. The bookmakers are giving them really big odds despite of their good game and motivation . Watch our free picks for some more info !
