What do you think of Tuesday night? The most unpredictable of all. Atletico probably to meet PSG?

I’ll go for Atletico, Atalanta, City and donno :-D

The Barcelona/Bayern match is one where I will bet some over’s or both to score

Don't count out PSG just yet.  But yeah Barca vs Bayern both teams to score is a good parlay piece..  Prolly piece it with City to win ML at 2.03ish..?

Anyway, did a parlay for the Europa league quarter finals.  Man United to win, Shaktar vs Basel over 1.5 goals and Sevilla double chance at 2.17ish.  Decent?

I'm not cutting PSG out, but, the league in France did not re-start as the league in Italy, and Atalanta performed very well on the after covid
It's my single to beat the bookies, nothing more than that 

Your ticket should pass, I will combine MUTD with a handicap and Inter to win, but I'm still waiting for some odds changes on the market

Got 1 correct score and 3 correct outcomes from the four games played so good overall, but missed out on correct scores all by one goal which is pretty annoying as to move up the table correct results isn't going to be enough right now as most backed the favourites so most got points. Moved up two places but could have been 4 or 5 had the correct scores come in. Only 6.5 points behind 5th place but without correct scores that's going to be hard to achieve especially in the quarters where the fixtures look very difficult to predict..

To all you Barca fans out there if you know 5+ players on the Barca bench I am taking my hat to you. I consider myself quite knowledgeable about these things but I never heard about half of this guys. Good thing they have 5 substitutes, we should bet on how many they will make this match
So here it goes, Barca bench for one of most important games of the season:
Neto
Junior Firpo
Inaki Pena
Ricard Puig
Ansu Fati
Ronald Araujo
Monchu
Oscar Mingueza
Konrad de la Fuente
Ludovit Reis
Alejandro Orellana

I'd never heard of any of them either. Was a bit worried but they dominated the game.

Lost the parlay.  That United squad man...  Sometimes you just never know what you're gonna get.

Anyway, made a couple more parlays.  Lol.  City winner ML, Atletico double chance and PSG double chance at 2.47ish.  And Barca vs Bayern btts and City vs Lyon over 2.5 goals at 2.48.  

What do you guys think?

jeah, MUTD simply fu***d us a lot last night...
I am still "bullish" on Atalanta, so, I'm very opposite here looking at your choice, and my pool pick is 3:1 as well, in favor of Atalanta 

[tokeweed]

^  I can't go against you with that.  You're the CL pool's top bastard. 

And yeah...  I didn't do a lot of reading before making the parlay.  Just found out Veratti and Di Maria are out besides Mbappe.  Meh.

it is very possible that Mbappe will still be ready for tonight. Check the latest news.
yet I must admit that I am a little surprised with table leader pick 3:1  I expect something more from PSG, even if my wish is Atalanta to pass this round.

What a crazy match ! 2 goals in injury time for PSG !!Well deserved for PSG, but you’ve got to feel for Atalanta. Can PSG go all the way now ?

[hilariousetc]

Motherfucker. Had 1-1 and then they went and got the winner in injury time. Only two people went for the draw and the 1-1 as well. Need these correct scores if I'm going to win anything. Zero points from that game now. Tomorrows match should probably another close one I think.

Can PSG go all the way now ?

I doubt it. I think City or Bayern would take them easy, especially after that performance. Very mediocre right until Atlanta started to get tired. Neymar missed some sitters as well.

You know you would probably had the same points even if it ended 1:1 in regular time? Superbru is taking results after extra time and not after regular time, at least it was like that last year and in some other competitions. That is why I never pick results which would lead the game to extra time.

PSG was much better toward the end after Mbappe came in and Atalanta was on the ropes especially after Freuler got injured and they already used all subs. It would end 3:1 or even 4:1 to PSG if it got to extra time.

I'm a little surprised that most of the pool members did not expect PSG to win, even if they "favourite" on the paper.

After a few seasons where they trowed out in at least by shocking matches(Barca, ManUTD, Real M...), now they have experience and they did it to someone too.
I guess they won't do much against Atletico M. (if they pass Leipzig). they are much more organized and it is very complicated to play against them (Liverpool's knows), especially in knockout phase. Also, they presented a solid performance in LA Liga after the restart.

Atalanta was so fckn close to win that match that I still can't believe that PSG got qualified to the next round, lucky bastards....

[slaman29]

Bottom of the pile stays bottom. I thought I was being smart following some of your picks even though I really couldn't pick between PSG and Atalanta. This is football, of course, and Winner in injury time for the French champions. Definitely feel for the Italians, quite "unfair" to all the players who gave everything.

[Trofo]

What a boring match, I have a quite a lot of money riding on Atletico and prediction for their 1:0 win in our pool but I would maybe prefer to for them to loose just so I don't have to watch them anymore this season. Imagine paying a season ticket to watch that anti football every week. Their tactics brought them a lot of good results but the cost is too high.

Sorry for a bit of rant, expected much more from this match and now I find my self watching DOTA 2 on another screen and waiting for the CL match to finish. Never thought I would write something like that. Thank god for Barca - Bayern tomorrow, should more than make up for this snooze fest.

Edit: Should have bitched about it sooner, my boy from Dinamo Zagreb - Dani Olmo scored and now we should see much better game

[Mbitr]

Having no luck at the mo. - this is how I feel !!!

Really? That's a bit shit and makes it much harder to predict. Most Sportsbook's do the correct score betting by the 90 minutes. Again I went for 1-1 on the ATL game and again was thwarted in the last minutes. Didn't matter too much though as only one person backed Red Bull to win.

I think people have too much faith in ATL, especially since everyone backed them to win minus three users. I didn't watch it, but I thought it would be close hence going for the draw. I will be watching the Barca/Bayern game tonight. This should be a good one and hard to predict. I want to go for the Bayern win but then I'm thinking a possible draw. As for the score, could be a boring 0-0 or 1-1 draw or I'm thinking Bayern could smash them. 

[leea-1334]

Stupid games:) I got zero from them all by picking the ones who score first and lose later (Atalanta) and then the ones who draw and still lose (Atletico). I am very far away from 5th prize now with only 7 games remaining to get 8 points and hope you all lose points:) Need to follow big_daddy more;)

Can anyone confirm this ? Seems a bit strange - It may be a case that we’ll have to wait for a match with extra time to occur.
@hilarious - yep agin a tough call tonight , but gotta go with Bayern - which means they’ll lose

I was also surprised with this and that is why it stayed in my memory. I am not sure if it was Champions League or maybe last World Cup or something like that but they were taking the results after extra time before penalties for that competition. Maybe we will get confirmation before the pool ends


Really looking for Barca - Bayern game tonight that one is what Champions League is all about. A clash of filthy rich clubs with history full of trophies and squads full of stars. Most of us have a soft spot for underdogs but this kind of games is why we come back for more. Should be a real spectacle and I am agreeing with the bookies that Bayern is a solid favorite tonight.

Lawl.  I thnk RBL broke a lot of people's parlays.

Who would have known?  A couple of months ago nobody could ever say that we'd see PSG vs RBL in the semi finals.  

And a little bit of info...  Tuchel used to coach Nagelsmann back in the day.
