International Champions Cup

[swogerino]

Because I work as an IT I have kept many statistics from major soccer leagues because I think they may come in handy for future reference when someone wants to make a bet. Everyone can find these statistics if he/she google searches for them, but I have kept them in a favourite spreadsheet of mine.

In games like Champions Cup the statistic which has come true the most of the time is both teams to score. If you bet on all games both teams to score, probably you will make profit after all the games finish. Anyone who has enough money to experiment can try this.

What were you guys expecting on friendlies ? Playing their eleven that will play on champions league ?

This is purely friendly and there is nothing at the end of it. I mean juventus and real madrid may play semi decently if they want to because of all ronaldo thing that happened but aside from that game there will be no games that will be the starting eleven playing for the teams.

These are friendlies that teams usually do two things, either play their young guys so they can get some minutes or play their starters so they can get some conditioning.

In case of betting, gamblers may get really nice profit from friendly matches. Usually there will be many goals on every match so it is easier than predicting to bet on which team to win. Indeed, not all match will end with many goals but I think most of them will end with at least 2 goals and/or both team to score. So the best option to bet on this kind of friendly matches is that to bet on goal related market such as over/under.

I have come to the realisation that when you bet on friendly games, that's when you run the high risk of losing money because the clubs don't really put most of their best players in these pre season games.

Yes that's true and that's why you shouldn't bet a lot on these unpredictable matches. But you can still have fun with $1 bets, can't you? We are not necessarily chasing profits here. We are just having some fun before the real football starts again in the big leagues. By the way if you bet on the underdogs you could walk away with some nice beer fund money lol. For example Borussia were priced at almost 5.00 odds to beat Liverpool the other day pre-game and they went on to win 3-1 being 1 goal down at half-time. If you had bet Dortmund live you would have gotten like 10 odds or more and that's $10 profit from your $1. That doesn't happen very often in the serious league matches. Just saying

Hey guys anyone interested in the International Champions Cup? It's starting on Saturday July 21st with the match between Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund on Soldier Field stadium in Chicago.

There are specific rules for this tournament and you can familiarize yourselves by checking out the official website : https://www.internationalchampionscup.com/en/territories/eu/men/international-champions-cup

I know we shouldn't take such commercialized tournaments too seriously as the games can be completely unpredictable, but it doesn't hurt to follow our favorite teams and have a punt or 2 just for fun

I do not understand what Liverpool is doing, but I think the ace teams do not seem to take this cup forward too much. In the face of Dortmund they have taken many nonsense goals.

After a little break, we're back with a few games today:

Juventus vs Bayern
Dortmund vs Benfica
Man City vs Liverpool
Roma vs Tottenham
Milan vs Manchester United

I might bet on a couple of games tonight. I'm looking at Spurs to Win @3.05 and +2.5 goals @ 1.55. And Man Utd to win @2.45 and BTTS @1.62.

Last 2 friendly match Man United match are scoreless and under 2.5 goals. So i'm not sure both team can make a goal here but again this is ICC, usually have many goals. I prefer bet on Man city match, i'm sure it will have many goals.

I'd be careful with that Spurs bet. Pretty much their entire first team were in the World Cup and will be rested. The team on the field will be radically different to what you consider "Spurs".

There is one more match tomorrow afternoon by the way - Atletico Madrid - Arsenal. I want to make a risky but really fun bet - I am going to parlay all 6 matches and bet both teams to score in all 6 of them.
Hmm so I tried finding the Atletico Madrid - Arsenal game, but apparently it's not available for betting yet. Parlaying the BTTS bets from the other 5 games gives around 9.40 total odds. The median odds for BTTS is 1.55 so if we multiply the total odds we got so far with the 6th game we would get around 14.5 odds. I might throw a dollar on that just for fun haha.

I didn't know that...will keep that in mind

True. I think I'll go with just +2.5 goals, Roma will probably use a lot of first team players since most of them didn't play in the WC, unlike Tottenham like you said. Let's see if Roma's new signings like Justin Kluivert and Pastore can make their debut today.

Nvm man, first half Roma vs Man United is 1-1. If you took that BTTS, you already won your bet and i think there will more goals on the 2nd half. On other match, Hotspurs completely rekt Roma 1-4.

[Wendigo]

Well Bayern Munich ended up being the party pooper for me as they couldn't score and lost 2-0 vs Juventus in the first match of the day. Kinda disappointing when the other 4 matches have had both teams to score so far. Now if the 6th and final match of today Atletico Madrid - Arsenal finishes with both teams scoring as well I will be really bummed haha..... Saying goodbye to those 15 odds oh well  

[o_e_l_e_o]

Well. Sorry for the bad tip! 

Turns out Spurs B team is much better than Roma B team. Also, the new Spurs shirt makes it look like they are all playing with their shirts tucked in to their shorts. Weird.

[buwaytress]

Damn it, I missed Liverpool's match last night, would have been a nice doubler or more I reckon had I realised they were playing and bet on them. Real pleasure to learn Salah scored within a minute of coming on, and always nice to beat City again, even if this means nothing competitively.

Woke up really early this morning (heat) and saw the United/Milan game. Am I dreaming or has Sanchez become so good? He looks so buffed up too, the shaven look suits him, strong everywhere and should have had more goals/assists. If he continues that way, Lukaku and Pogba keep their World Cup form, then Mourinho need not worry so much.

[Mahmoud87]

Juventus beat Bayern Munich 2-0  in United States.Andrea favilli scored the goals of the game and  to impose himself the star of the friendly confrontation.The match saw many absentees in the ranks of the two teams because of the mandatory rest of the many stars following the World Cup Russia 2018, notably Cristiano Ronaldo, who moved to Juventus recently from Real Madrid.

Nvm man, first half Roma vs Man United is 1-1. If you took that BTTS, you already won your bet

Ended up going with my original bets, but didn't make that much profits on this one D: btw, absurd penalty shootout, it was fun, though.

LOL I'm a bit stubborn so, I usually try to stick with my original plans...turned out pretty good, some decent profits on this one  although, I didn't expect 4-1.


Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal in a like an hour...I've been waiting to see Emery's Arsenal, he's going with some first team players in the lineup: Auba, Lacazette, Leno, Bellegin, Ramsey, and Mustafi. On the other hand, Atletico's starting XI doesn't look that exciting: Oblak, Juanfran, Montero, Thomas, Moya, Rodrigo, Olabe, Joaquín, Correa, Gameiro and Vietto.

I’d steer clear of betting on what are essentially friendlies gentlemen. They’re all meaningless pre season games. A lot of the time coaches make 11 changes at half time. It’s all about fitness on these tours & a lot of the clubs star players are still on holiday or at the very least not even 100% match fit.

You don’t have to listen to me but just bare it in mind.

[Juggy777]

Looks like Liverpool mean serious business beating City in the friendlies is a statement of intent and a warning shot to the defending champions and others, also Manchester United and Milan really stretched it wished I knew match was yesterday forgot only would have played for a draw but a victory nevertheless for Manchester United. Eagerly waiting for Juve vs RM hoping Ronaldo comes and surprise all of course he ain't coming but just for fun he should come.

The matches are unpredictable, yes, but also very boring because it is all B team players. If I didn't put a couple of bucks on something, then the matches might as well not be happening as far as I'm concerned - they are certainly too boring to pay attention to otherwise.

[Wendigo]

And Atletico Madrid won against Arsenal 2-1 after penalties... Darn it! If only Bayern Munich hadn't slacked in the very first match of the day and had scored a goal vs Juventus... And if Juventus - Bayern Munich had been the last and not the first match of the tournament day I would have just hedged it or cashed out and would have had approx. a 10 odds winning betslip haha  Sometimes a little bit of luck is needed to hit all events on the parlay and it's so infuriating when one goal screws your entire slip
