International Champions Cup

[tomahawk9]

And Atletico Madrid won against Arsenal 2-1 after penalties...

That was such a boring game. I think the most exciting thing was Atletico's new GK, Adan, saving 3 penalties in the penalty shootout. Great debut for him.

Teams will get a small break so no games until next Saturday, we'll some really interesting matches: PSG vs Arsenal, Man Utd vs Liverpool, Chelsea vs Inter, and Barcelona vs Tottenham.

[BitcoinArsenal]

I have not bet on any Champions Cup match yet. I wanted to observe the teams first since they do not set their best players but rather young players in that tournament. So it is hard to predict match results. This assumption confirmed me as Bayern surprisingly won against ManCity and PSG. Now I think I have a good overview and I go for a win of Juventus against Benefica @ 1.96.

[swogerino]

In tournaments where teams usually play their B teams I should turn more to statistics in the future as these games tend to end always in both teams to score, the majority of them.

I didn't bet on any champions cup game because I bet on Europa league today and it appears all the games in Europa league are coming in as predicted resulting to giving gamblers some money tonight.

And the weekend is here guys   We have 3 continuous days of games - 3 matches today and 3 tomorrow and a single match on Monday.
The schedule is as follows:

Saturday

Arsenal - PSG
Benfica - Juventus
Chelsea - Inter

Sunday

Man United - Liverpool
Bayern Munich - Man City
Barcelona - Tottenham

Monday

PSG - Atletico Madrid

Frankly speaking, I am not certain about any of the matches as far as any favorites are concerned, so maybe the best thing to do here is to bet on goals instead. Personally, I am going to do another little experiment and parlay all 7 games and bet both teams to score in all of them. The previous one was unsuccessful due to 1 match (damn you Bayern  ) and I hope this time around luck will be on my side.

And I just wanted to put the schedule out there so you won't miss out on any betting action in case you forget about the games this couple of days. It's the weekend after all  

[Binugon]

I think the league champions will be favored by football lovers around the world, because there are good teams and very good players, then the match between Manchaster City and Dortmun will be a very interesting game and also a motivation for other teams, then with the transfer of players in this season will add to the excitement of the champions league in every game and will also give birth to new stars like young players who competed in the match

so maybe the best thing to do here is to bet on goals instead.

That's been giving me some good results lately  

Arsenal vs PSG. I think I'm going BTTS @1.50 and First to Score PSG @2.35.

I'm looking forward to Chelsea vs Inter, I want to see Sarri's team (even though it won't the first team squad), also Man Utd vs Liverpool, and Barcelona vs Tottenham. All of them should be entertaining I hope so.

[o_e_l_e_o]

I would agree that I think BTTS is the best way to go for these games. The outcome is too unpredictable with the teams sometimes completely changing at half time, but with the number of inexperienced defenders on the field, goals are more likely.

[buwaytress]

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.

I've always stayed away from them, you're absolutely right, they're nothing more than vainglorious friendlies, and I know the results mean nothing.

That said, I guess I'm always keen for at least interesting matchups with good odds. Liverpool Man Utd tonight, nothing to play for but the youngsters might be at least tempted for bragging rights, Klopp more likely to want to win than Mourinho too.

And then because I'm a bit stupid, I want to take a 2nd game to parlay against... Barca is ripe for the picking. An ordinary game and the odds would have been much lower I reckon.

[BitcoinArsenal]

Impressive victory of Arsenal against PSG. If PSG is in such bad shape then Bayern's victory was probably not as good as I thought. I bet a Juventus win over Benefica today. Barcelona is in good shape, too, and the odds against Tottenham (@ 2.34) is more than good, so I also bet on Barca's win. What are your opinions on both matches?

[swogerino]

I don't know if Ronaldo will play, probably he will but Juventus can beat Benfica in both cases, even if it plays with their regular formation or the reserve players. Benfica is not as good as it has been these last years which was a challenge to even bigger teams from the top European leagues when they clashed in Champions.

This is a cup where reserve players are tested so I will bet on both teams to score.

[Wendigo]

Yay guys 6 winning bets down and one more to go tomorrow  I am wondering whether or not I should hedge the last bet though. Gosh, betting on goals is so much fun haha. We will have a short break on Tuesday and on Wednesday there are 5 games. Looking forward to doing the same parlay again.

I heard Ronaldo will absent on International Champions Cup but will join on the friendly match later. ICC matches almost have many goals so far. Yeah all teams using their reserve players and when 2nd half come, the coach change many players too.

Great parlay, what was the total payout?

I got screwed on my third parlay in a row, again thanks to a draw (Barcelona), and things were looking so good when they were leading 2-0.

Watched the entire Liverpool Utd game and maybe I'm biased but Liverpool played real properly, Milner, Moreno, even Klavan as if this were a real match. Loved it when Mane and later even Sturridge (!) almost got into scuffles. Friendly for sure, but so happy to see the team still retaining their rivalry with Utd haha.

Score means nothing, but assist and goal on debut for Shaqiri, and Sturridge goal with first touch of the game, can't be bad news.

[Wendigo]

The average odds for Both teams to score market (BTTS) tend to be in the range of 1.50 - 1.60 and I have been getting around 1.55 odds pretty consistently so for a 7-match accumulator bet that would yield approx. 23 odds. You can price boost your odds on Sportsbet by the way and squeeze a little bit more profit. But I have to admit betting on goals has been pretty profitable in the International Champions Cup so far.

[Ranly123]

Are you initializing a betting for this friendly competitions? If so how are we going to bet for who will win or how are we going to know the rules?

Indeed, Pretty casual and young defending so far. Which has resulted in a lot of goals. BTS always seem to be a good and safe option. Out of 15 games so far in the ICC, only 2 have not been BTS. So, The odds for BTS are great, accordingly.

That's interesting. I rarely parlay more than 3 games, although of late I've been doing quite a few 4 and 5-game parlays (never won any haha). I like how every 1% odds advantage at my bookie adds up even more when parlayed, still comfortably beating those bonus parlay offers at places like NitrogenSports. I'll have to check out Sportsbet one day if I somehow turn into an acca monster.

No BTTS at my bookie though as I can tell now. Pity.

[jakagintiri]

this is a warm-up game before following his real league, it's hard to predict which teams will come out as champions because regular football clubs do not take the real team down and they will not raise their new recruits as they are worried about injury.

[dams87]

although not an official match namu international Champions league worth following because it could be as a picture game team that follows this and the prestige between teams still exist, so it's a shame if missed

[o_e_l_e_o]

So looking at BTTS for the next 5 games:

Manchester United - Real Madrid (1.47)

Tottenham Hotspur - AC Milan (1.49)

FC Barcelona - AS Roma (1.38)

Arsenal - Chelsea FC (1.51)

Benfica Lisbon - Olympique Lyon (1.61)

I'm liking the look of Man Utd - Real and Barca - Roma, combined odds of 2.02. Or maybe go for a 5-way at 7.2? What do you reckon?
