Panathinaikos vs Rapid Bucharest
30 nov 2006 UEFA Cup - soccer
Panathinaikos vs Rapid Bucharest
This game has completly different conotations for the teams, so we can take advantage with a smart bet. For Panathinaikos doesn t have too much importance , but for Rapid it s a capital game , if they’ll lose this they’ll be out of UEFA. A draw will qualified Panatinaikos for sure and will keep Rapid’s hope still alive , and a win for Rapid will qualify the romanian team .
Even if there are some important absences in the romanian team ( Coman , Mazilu ) , they are very motivated for today s game . At Panathinaikos there will be at list 5 changes to get rest some players for the game of sunday against Aris.
Also , on the visitor s side there s a the great experience from the last edition of the UEFA Cup , when they reached the last 8 phase.
Considering all these factors and the team statistics, the smartest bet for this game it s one asian handicap.If Rapid wins or if the game it s a draw the bet will be a winner. If Panath. wins by one goal we lose 50% of the stake. If Panath. wins by 2 goals or more , the stake is lost.
So , today pick is :
Rapid +o,75 @1,57 played at 10 BET
TOR Raptors v CLE Cavaliers
6 dec 2006 NBA
Toronto Raptors - Cleveland Cavaliers
The hosts , CLE , had a terrible last game , when they manages to score only 63 points against Houston. I m sure they gonna score more tonight , but not over 95-100 points.Cleveland star LeBron James, who scored 21 points but made just 7-of-22 shots from the field, said the offense deserved its share of the blame.The Cavs have failed to score 90 points in five of their 17 games.
The most important thing for the Raptors is Chris Bosh eye infection , and the Toronto superstar might miss tonight s game. Mo Peterson is back after his ankle injury.
Toronto has won two of three on the road after losing its first seven away from home this season.The Raptors beat the Cavaliers 95-87 on Nov. 22, ending a four-game losing streak in the series. Toronto has a chance in this game , but everything dependes on Bosh physical shape. I m expecting a pretty tight game .
A smart bet for this game is backing Toronto +8,5 , but today s pick goes to :
TOR Raptors v CLE Cavaliers under 195,5 points @1,89

Galatasaray - Bursaspor
10 dec 2006 Turkey Superleague soccer
Galatasary - Bursaspor
A few years ago , Galata was leadind the turkish league with many points ahead of Fener.Now the situation is opposite.This match is a must win match for Galatasaray.They lost last week in derby match to Fenerbahce.The point gap for the championship increased to 7 points.In addition Fenerbahce won friday which means the gap is now 10 points.In case a result other than win,they will be earthquake at the management.The future for the coach Gerets can be decided after that match.
Bursa returned in the first league this year.The start was not satisfactory and leaded to a coach change.New coach Engin Ä°pekoÄŸlu brought good results,4 wins at 5 matches.They play good counter-attack football and they are in good form.
Looking at this game , as a soccer fan might be confusing , but the circumstances are in favour of the bettors.Bursaspor has a long mising players list:Eser,Mehmet Yılmaz,Veli injured, Ismail suspended, Omer Aysan, Omer Erdogan, Orhan Alemdar, Egemen just recovered and doubt for the first eleven.
The smartest bet for this game could be over 2,5 goals , but the odds are pretty low ,so i m pretty much conviced the Galata will play their best football to win this game quite easily.
So , my pick goes for an asian handicap :
Galatasaray -1,5 @1,85 played at BET365
Palermo - Celta Vigo
12 dec 2006 Uefa Cup soccer
Another crucial game , with a big stake in the middle. The italian squad needs to win .
They won their opening game 2-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt, Palermo lost to Newcastle United FC and Fenerbahçe SK to slip to fourth in the section. However, a win against Celta would guarantee them at least a third place finish in the section, and possibly the runners-up spot depending on lastday game other result .
While Palermo need all three points to qualify to the next stage, Celta is ok with a draw.
Celta may end up third in the group and this has to do with the Fener-Eintracht outcome and in case that the game vs. Palermo ends up draw.
The italian coach Guidolin said that is taking the game seriously and the only result for this game is a win .
In my opinion this game will end in the classic italian style , a short win 1-0 , maybe 2-0 or 2-1. But to be realistic , Celta will look for a draw , so the smartest bet to do , is to back the hosts.
So , today s pick goes to a straight win :
Palermo to win @ 1,85 played at Canbet
Charlotte - Orlando
14 dec 2006 NBA
The Bobcats have been very competitive over the last week,only yesterday were they neck and neck for 4 quarters against the Caviliers,only just going down in the last few minuties.While the Magic have a great side they have been some what stagnant over the last few days or the last week and those matches have been at home not away.Orlando seem the most likely winner,but in order to do so they will have to score more than their 82 point average of the last week,the Bobcats have showen that against free scoring teams this season they struggle to compete for 4 quarters playing that style,but against defencive type sides they can go shot for shot with them.
The Magic have lost three of the last four road games against the Bobcats, who lost their fourth straight and sixth of the last seven with Wednesday’s 104-101 defeat to the Cavaliers 104-101.
I would expect the Bobcats to win this match especially after just going down to Le Bron and his Cavs,they will surely be upset about how they have been losing games they should really of won.In order for the Bobcats to win they will have to score around96 points and the Magic will still hang in there and wind up on about 90,take the over 180.5,Good Luck.
At the end , i think the spread in Charlotte s favour looks pretty good and the right bet for this game ( smart bet) only can be :
Charlotte +3,5 @ 1,91 played at Gamebookers
