Thanks for the freebet, Whale =) [won from the Europa League pool, where I was amazing, as usual]
Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed that your multi bet pays off! I'm going to place exactly the same bet, but with a much smaller stake.
To be honest, I'm surprised that the odds for Barcelona are so high here. Barca are playing excellently this season and have only lost one of their last five away games. They are also clear leaders in the table and have a very good chance of winning the championship, with a 13-point lead in third place. Newcastle, on the other hand, are playing a rather mixed game and have also lost a few of their last games clearly.
But that's fine with me, as it improves the overall odds considerably!
Was hoping to just put in on an underdog but Spurs are the only ones with the sort of odds you'd typically say belongs to an underdog and at 5/1 it's really not
that special. Favourites on accas don't really whet my appetites but I'll assume the first leg will see the paper-strong teams stamp their authority.
Ditto on Barca odds, I had a Real game last week with 23/10 that also seemed suspiciously "high". I suppose that's the away juice locked in. Worked out in the end!
