Another normal day in Serie A for Roma, one day you lose against Cremonese and other day you win against Juventus, all made it by the same team, nothing change, what a bipolar team.

...but you're right. Worth putting them on an acca and that's already done now for me!

Hmm... when will I be invited to work as a sports analyst? I think I'm ready 
Roma was able to grind out a victory, but the result is the result even if the opponent had many chances.
By the way, is removing Moise a record? How many seconds have passed since he entered the field and received a red card? As I understand the expression on Allegri's face will become a meme 

Yeah, too bad my acca contained Monaco and Real, terrible draws ruined good days.

But yes, Moise. I talk about him and he gets himself sent off haha. I can't think of any records except Gerrard during a United derby (less than 1 minute) but Moise's cameo is probably a bit shorter. Never would have thought about it, but this is why red cards in La Liga and Serie A are pretty attractive.

What's your next tip? Inter? AC? UCL success?

Good question, to my surprise I won the yellow cap in the La Liga round that ended yesterday and now I need to pick up a multibet with odds of about 5 (less makes no sense since the free bet is not returned). In Serie A next round, Roma, Inter, Milan and Juventus have "reliable" matches, but given the random nature of this league, I'm not sure that a long multi-bet with Italian teams will ever work 
From the Champions League today and tomorrow all games are random (and the quotes are crazy - for example Chelsea 1.75), the only game I think about is Benfica - this team is hungry for European success and in front of its fans it will play at full strength even despite the success in the first game . A bet with a handicap of -1 and odds of 1.91 looks profitable, but even a simple win of 1.37 is also good.
In general, I have not chosen anything yet and I ask you not to take my thoughts as recommendations (although you are not interested in low odds anyway).

^ Nicely done, as usual, I probably don't need to congratulate people anymore, they're doing what they're doing and I'm not making life difficult for anyone anywhere in the pools heh.

I took a bet against Inter in the end today. Trying to regain my old composure of just picking underdogs and I have to say, I feel good about my chances. Not because Spezia are amazing, but because Inter seem to want to do badly. HT 0-0 still gives me hope...

15 minutes before the end of the game and the score is 1-0 in favor of Spezia. Inter victory quote is already 12.5 
Damn what a random league this is! By the way, I missed Inter and Roma in my selection, but I hope that Juventus and Milan will not be able to screw up in front of their fans and achieve victories.

[slaman29]

Nice win buway I saw you shared it in Sportsbet ANN. Are you going against Juventus today?

I tried your tactic a few times recently but so far no luck lol. I even took Crystal Palace yesterday as well as Brest, vs City and PSG respectively, and that didn't work out.

So let's hope Italians give me good vibes. Sampdoria @11.17!

It actually got a lot more dramatic than that. 3 minutes from time Lukaku converts a penalty, then Spezia get their own one 2 minutes later. 2 shots on goal, including the penalty, and 2 goals. That's smash and grab, and why I love these kinds of odds on football!

Good luck with that, I ran out of boosts, and it's not even 9/1 when I'm looking now, so you took a fantastic value bet I think! On the other hand, I do have Salernitana against Milan tomorrow for 10/1, hope both Milan teams give me joy this week!

Inzagi needs to go. Inter is strongest team in league, but team chemistry is gone. I see last couple of days there is rumors about Conte coming back. That would be perfect for Inter. Inzagi really lost the way.

Roma is continuing their show, Cremonese, win over Juventus and Sociedad, and now Sassuolo, nice time to loss a game
although, Sassuolo knows how to score several against favorites, just remember Milan away match

Juventus left to play against Sampdoria, should be a home win, but not on my parlay

Yes its incredible how Roma managed to do so diferent games week by week, this was a rain of goals, and also a big effort made by roma players because they had to play a entire half with one player less.

The Serie A its finished a long time ago, but the fight for the european spots its really interesting.

Crazy games in Italy today, but nobody can say they aren't fun to watch. We had everything from cards to plethora of goals and turnarounds. Juventus was 2:0 up and that would be it for the game in their golden days. There wouldn't be another chance on either side of the pitch. But this is a different kind of Juve and now it is 2:2. I know their supporters would not agree but I prefer this Juve that is interesting to watch

[slaman29]

My Sampdoria bet didn't make it, and I'm not changing my luck by changing my strategy, it seems much harder to hit upsets when you're betting on your own, and yet seeing buway do it so often I should have faith right? AC Milan lose today?

I think we all have to thank Napoli for wrapping up the league quickly (and hate Roma for making them lose and slow them down) because it's nice to see everyone fight it out like crazy for UCL spots.

I don't know Juventus anymore to be honest. I thought they were slowly returning to old ways but then now it's Barca who keep winning 1-0!!

[casperBGD]

have to say taht I do not follow Calcio that close, but now seeing that CL fight is really interesting there
four teams for three places, and just Lazio took point this round, Milan yet to play against Salernitana, as they are relegation fighters, not CL teams

but relegation fight is non-existent, Cremonese and Sampdoria are already out, and Verona is pretty close to join them
Cagliari won after four draws in Serie B, but direct promotion is out of reach, play-off spot is best what they can do

Yep, that's why all the action is upper mid table. Not to keen to see Cagliari back, but haven't followed Serie A, much less Serie B, to know if they're worth it (they're not, duh).

I'm actually sitting back tonight and taking a break this week to recoup and try make sure I have enough funds to last me this month! Salernitana's my final ticket, though so if they hit, I might spam Napoli (boring).

[slaman29]

Is AC Milan so terrible that they got only x2.22 to win? Or is Udinese actually so good? lol

Today after a week of not doing anymore moneywasting multibets, I've taken now Monza, Bologna, Milan, Fiorentina and Napoli. I don't think I ever made an all-Italian multi recently so wish me luck!!

It's difficult to trust teams like Monza or Bologna to win no matter who they face. I went the opposite route and backed both Salernitana and Cremonese to get something in our pool, i had few winners along the way.

As for Milan, Pioli recently changed our formation and we are now playing with three at the back (which is far from ideal and is not what the team is used to), Theo was out with flu-like symptoms, and Leao is in poor form. Yeah, can't say i'm surprised we lost! Udinese is a physical team that plays direct football, usually extra motivated when they get to play the top six sides.

I did terrible, I'm not even angry about Monza or Bologna and since they all drew, both of us are losers, I am mad about Milan doing what I thought they were going to do and yet started to believe in them.

Both the Milan teams are just so annoying, these are guys in Champions League quarterfinals and yet? The worst scenario is if Milan knock Napoli out there somehow lol

[casperBGD]

Milan is playing Napoli over the weekend, and this seems to be rather unimportant match, comparing to CL QF that these teams are playing

Lazio has away match against Monza, positioned on second place, it was a good outright bet, didn't expected such a great season from Napoli, dough
Inter vs Fiorentina and Juventus playing Verona tomorrow, nothing to eagerly plan to watch

rather good last round, will try to repeat it

Don't think so, yes Napoli will want to go far in CL but their dream is to get the league title and I am sure they will play every game like crazy until they have secured it beyond any doubt. It will be one hell of a celebration down there and I am seriously thinking of making a visit and getting hammered with their supporters before the big thing. Have some business on south of Italy and just read an article that they have very good prices for drinking and eating out. So....

[buwaytress]

How can I forget how bad Inter are? Oh, yeah, when odds against them aren't big enough.

Need to remember to pick against them every now and then for Superbru though! Quite a few of us did well so far with the week's round? And Roma looks on their way... Gini Wijnaldum back from the dead.

Yeah they'll be happy and will probably go far in UCL but Scudetto is what they want. Easy Napoli legs on my ticket all day any day, as long as odds make it above 15/10.

And the food is as good as they say in the South too... I gorged myself on seafood daily a few years back, fresh as can be, at extremely good prices!
