Juventus dominated today totally, but it was enough for United to play something similar to football in last 10 minutes to win this game. Mourinho football at it's finest.
And what a performance by Manchester City - 6:0 against Shakhtar. They managed to beat quite decent team in amazing style without important players like Aguero and de Bruyne. But stilll, one of penalties was ridiculous, good that there will be VAR in UCL next season.

Jose was just showing off some respect to Juventus fan, he was hearing them moan about how could they loose they had Ronaldo playing for them, it seems the era of come back kings is back. Manchester City are playing on another level, and I would make them top contenders for a treble this season, Liverpool and Tottenham may loose out on the qualification if they don't win their remaining matches.

Real Madrid have started to rise, they won 5-0 over Plzen, Napoli shared the numbers with PSG. and what is surprising is that Juventus lost to Manchester United at home, given Juventus's good performance in the domestic league while United are trying to rise in the domestic league. yes, champions league always presents a big surprise.

This time the Jose Mourinho's troops did not joke, they proved that football on the pitch was not on paper or about statistics. They really take advantage of the opportunities that exist, only with 2 free kicks they are able to create 2 goals. I don't think this is a surprise, but the hard work of the Manchester United forces.

manchester united in local league is nothing

I don't know what to think of Manchester United this season but they seem unpredictable this year, they win against Juventus in Juventus home soil and they lose in their Premier League against teams where everybody predicts them to win.

Yesterday games came almost all as predicted excluding Juventus so I believe it was a good night for many gamblers.

I very rarely bet on Manchester United, who're the devil to me in every sense of the word heh heh, but couldn't ignore the odds last night (6.66) - literally the devil's number calling out to me to bet, which I did... and won. They were outplayed and outclassed, and got the full 3 points courtesy of an own goal. Liverpool have been in Juventus's shoes, too often in past campaigns for me to enjoy it, but they've been showing more grit recently, minus the limp display in Belgrade.

Was it now 3 comebacks in 4 games for United? Mourinho negative football at its best, I guess.

Yeah, and I had the usual spot on method of picking the upsets to parlay, Lyon and Juventus let me down, but was lucky to have hedged with a United upset. Entertaining season so far, both domestic and continental. Just still unhappy that City is steamrolling too easily.

Like it or not this is football now. I stop watching this game moment before first goal from MNU. Then this morning read in papers total comeback from MNU and to see they won match left me shocked.
Didnt think it was possible cuz they didnt know much and Juve control the game and ball most of the match.

Love it, the guy knows exactly what he's doing. He knew that by doing stuff like this he would draw all the attention to him, everyone would talk about what he did instead of actually talk about how bad the team played (they didn't derserve the win, but that's football). Mou knows how to handle the press, props to him.

Real Madrid totally demolished Viktoria Plzen today by scoring 5 goals against them, it have been a long time since I saw Real Madrid playing alike this after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Great win, but nothing to be excited about, we beat arguably one of the weakest teams in the CL group stage. At least is good to know that Benzema seems to be recovering his form.

Olympiacos Piraeus would need a win against F91 Dudelange today in the Uefa Europa League in order to stand a chance to progress to the next stage, F91 Dudelange is not a strong opponent and since Olympiacos Piraeus would have the advantage of playing this match in their home stadium, I believe Olympiacos Piraeus will be able to beat F91 Dudelange easily in this match.

You forget how many teams are in the early stages of the EL until you look at the fixtures, it’s ridiculous. Always an opportunity to make a little money though.

Parlay -

Leverkusen, Arsenal, Milan & Chelsea to win

Arsenal couldn't break down defences at home, so yeah, I got screwed on my parlay too (though Leipzig's "shock" loss to Celtic did me over anyway). Been good riding for Rangers and Gerrard, while not so for Celtic and Rodgers, up until last night. Rangers were really unlucky though, they probably gave Spartak a few jitters, score was even 3-2 at half time already. At least Rangers aren't whipping boys anymore under Gerrard. They just need a consistent goal scorer (ignoring last night's 3 goals, of which 1 was an OG). I think 1 more win, hopefully, and they can progress.

My early pick Bordeaux finally registered a point but I think it's too late for them. Even if they win next 2 games, which they must for any change, they must hope Zenit also wins their 2 games.

Why is it so surprising that champions league first round has a lot of teams, almost all countries from Europe send a team to it, a lot of countries send multiple teams as well, it is not shocking that there are 32 teams, not to mention there are first rounds where teams play each other to get into that 32 team spot as well, not all positions are guaranteed, some of the teams have to play each other during summer as well which could be considered champions league if you want to.

Some teams are not good enough to be there and plays only because they have the rights but honestly from ending of a season to start of the next teams can become much better or much worse depending on how they did during the summer. Sometimes they lose key players and sometimes they sign one and it can make the worlds difference. Just look at real Madrid.

Not this time.  I think that was pure awkwardness coming from Mou due his nature and the inability to 'not react' in situations like these.

Mou def doesn't fail to entertain tho.

This is very hard now days, example to be for this last encounter is lost of Liverpool from Red Star in Belgrade. They were favorites with average quote 1.17 and they lost.Nothing is 100% sure in CL and EL for betting its always 33% that you win single bet.

Very few people I have seen to win considerable amount in a parlay and when they do win such sum it is usually a large amount of money as a bet involved.

Especially in Europa League you rarely can hit a parlay, just check at how many team that are rated as favourites with low odds you see making you lose your ticket.

In some strange event of unimaginable luck I have seen people with 1 dollar to win about 2000 dollars but this is not because they are professionals, it is just because of luck. I have seen this happening at a lotto coffee near my neighbour and everybody was talking about it.

^  Parlays are fun as long as you know they're a sucker's bet.  If you keep doing them then you're definitely gonna lose money in the long run.  It's much better to do props than parlays imho.

week 5 for champions league, in group H Juventus vs Valencia and Manchester United vs Young Boys. Valencia must win to keep their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages. in group G Roma will host Real Madrid, maybe this only determines who will win the group.

I think all bets are suckers bets if you look at it this way. I actually generally only bet on one single team throughout a season or competition, or bet one one or two long parlays per stack of games. But that's strictly because I don't expect to profit in the long run.

If I do go for singles, its never below 2/1 but I'm a sucker for extreme underdogs and competitions like Champions League or Europa give good opportunity for that, mostly because teams are playing against unknown opposition and unknown variables... Less predictable than standard league fare. Man Utd last time out against Juve at 6.66? Or Lyon today hosting City at over 7/1? That's my kind of sucker bet=p

The worse for me is to always bet on single outcomes where it's less than 2/1. People tend to double up on losses like that. Or you end up trying to get 66% accuracy which, as tipsters can tell you, isn't easy with odds above 3/2.
