I am well aware of that, yet I find myself questioning why the odds have been set in such a peculiar manner. 🤷
rapidstag2 said:Since Arsenal is traveling to Greece with the youth squad, it isn't a bad idea to test the single win or, even better, bet on Oly to score more than one goal at odds of 2. It seems quite clear that Arsène Wenger has made peace with finishing as runners-up and is simply rotating the players to prepare them for the Premier League.
Arsenal FC Squad: Wojciech Szczęsny, Thomas Vermaelen, Tomáš Rosický, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Gabriel Squillaci, Francis Coquelin, Andrey Arshavin, Carl Jenkinson, Gervinho, Marouane Chamakh, Angha, Ansah, Hajrovic, Meade, Monteiro, Shea, Chédदार Akpom.
In any case, I am praying for goals tonight, as that is essentially what I wagered on for my "stronger" stake. 🙂

Is there perhaps some specific reason why the odds for an FC Barcelona and Benfica double are so low, sitting at 1.6? Meanwhile, Benfica dg is listed at 1.5.
Since Arsenal is traveling to Greece with the youth academy players, it might actually be a decent idea to take a shot on a single goal or, even better, bet on Oly to find the back of the net more than once at odds of 2. It seems quite clear that Arsène Wenger has made his peace with settling for second place and is focusing his energy on resting the starters for the Premier League.

In any case, I am crossing my fingers for some goals tonight, as that is essentially what I wagered on for a slightly higher stake.🙂
Roger Phillips said:Juventus - Bologna (1.90) The real value here is undoubtedly on Bologna finding the back of the net. Juventus hasn't managed to shut out Bologna in their last four encounters; 03/07/12, Bologna - Juventus 1 : 1 09/21/11, Juventus - Bologna 1 : 1 02/26/11, Juventus - Bologna 0 : 2 10/24/10, Bologna - Juventus 0 : 0
Looking at the home games in Atlanta, Bologna has consistently managed to score at least once.
The sportsbook is offering odds of 2.00 for a Bolognese goal. It seems somewhat peculiar; regardless of how much of a favorite Juventus might be, isn't that price a bit too generous?
I don't follow the Italian league closely, but one has to wonder—are they dealing with some significant injuries to their forwards or something?
Where on earth have all the accounts vanished to? It seems Facebook has swallowed the entire budget whole, yet there isn’t a single cent left for a new server. ☕
Another routinely predictable thread popping up. 🙂
Surely these discussions should be opened only when there is an actual necessity for them, rather than flooding the forum with fifteen different threads two weeks before the season opener. And what happens if not a single fan shows up to the stadium, or if nobody has any decent gear because everyone is too busy polishing their cheap trinkets behind the arena for five bucks? It’s entirely predictable. What then? Honestly, what? Who is going to collect the "Hot Mama" awards or the trophies meant for Jere Labura? Absolute nonsense.
Since I’m already here, I find myself wondering about the logistics of the upcoming season: will there be a dedicated thread for the group—specifically for constructive feedback and deep analysis—and then a separate live thread for real-time commentary on those discussions? Or is the intention to consolidate everything into a single thread? Does that kind of structure actually work for series on this platform? I must admit, I don't follow their setups very closely.
For those of you still following our domestic soccer scene, I feel compelled to offer a brief observation on this matchup. Looking at Slaven versus Istra, the handicap is set at 0:2 with odds of 1.6; essentially, this means Istra simply needs to avoid losing by two goals or more to cover. Does that strike anyone else as a reasonable proposition?

...And you'll have a courier dropping it off on your doorstep, too. Or perhaps it depends entirely on how much luck you've managed to scrape together lately.
Eric Fox7 said:I’ve been rocking my Arsenal (Nike) jersey since last season and it’s perfectly fine—though I must admit, this current batch feels slightly lower in quality than the one from last year. It certainly stands in stark contrast to that Lyon (Umbro) one, which is absolute garbage. 🤷
Oriđiđi? 😁 I haven't the slightest clue; I suppose I shall have to track one down somewhere and see how it looks in person...
That is precisely what I suspected. I have never had much patience for jerseys that feel as thin and flimsy as cheap nylon. It is quite why I am holding out for Umbro...
