Greek picks...

February 2 2003, 11:27 AM 

First try starting with the championship of my country.

Panionios - Aris Gre. Greek League 2.00 3.20 3.30
HOME-5 units
PAS Jannina - AEK Athens Gre. Greek League 4.05 3.35 1.75
AWAY-10 units
Egaleo - Ionikos Nikeas Gre. Greek League 1.70 3.20 4.75
HOME-7 units
Proodeftiki - Panathinaikos Gre. Greek League 6.00 3.50 1.50
AWAY 15 units

No comments are necessary in my opinion.Every Greek football fan will give you these preferences.The safest bets are AEK and PANA away to maintain their claim for the championship.Oly won their game yesterday so both of these teams have no choice but to win.They are also quite better than their opponents.
In fact ,you are advised to bet on these games since it's a very very good Greek draw this.

Also take them all in a combo of 3 units.
Will come back for other European choices.There seem to be a lot of opportunities today.

It's pretty obvious to me that the main reason that I don't 'fly' to profit is because I like to risk too much and bet on more than I should.Had I confined myself to the best of my bets only,and by saying that I mean the strongest teams,I would have lost only Real Sociedad whom I had expected to get at least a draw.They got a red card and a player taken off.

So my aim should be to increase the strictness of my criteria and decrease the number of games played.As it is now,I bet to bet and not to win.Funny thing is I don't know if I can get out of this addiction.

At last our forum is back...

February 8 2003, 6:38 AM 

Manchester U. - Manchester C 1.35(HOME)
Nottingham - Crystal P 1.90 (HOME)
Roda JC - Vitesse 1.65 (HOME)
Villarreal - Real Valladolid 1.90 (HOME)
Varzim - Sporting CP 1.95(AWAY)
Utrecht - Excelsior 1.55(HOME)
Beveren - Sint-Truiden1.80)AWAY)
Recreativo - Valencia 1.75(AWAY)
Xanthi - Proodeftiki 1.65(HOME)
OFI - Akratitos 1.55(HOME)
Accie:195.80

All of them (apart from ManU that are at vey low odds)
in 5 units singles and in a 2 unit accie.

Analysis

ManUnited seem to have reached an apogee of form. A lot of them score, Forlan has become more consistent and my personal opinion is they can only be tested by the very best in Europe. In Premier that means only one team: Arsenal. Man City don’t have many chances .

Nottingham are a very strong home team and quite consistent at that. Crystal Palace must be tired after their Liverpool heroics. Asking them to get two good results in a matter of a couple of days would be too much. Even the hard way, they’re going down.

Roda are a decent team and they certainly expect to win against a Vitesse side who are a shadow of their former good self. In fact the latter have underperformed since the beginning of this Ehredivisie. I don’t see how or why they should escape a loss here.

Villareal are a good home team and although not far better than their opponents ,they are better at home than them. The latter lost 1-3 at home to Alaves and that does not show good form. I’ll be a difficult game but I’ll support the home team.

Sporting are a very good European team struggling their way out of a bad spell and although one might say that they haven’t had the best of starts this season, I will always back them against a mediocre team like Varzim especially at those odds. It’s a risky choice since the hosts are strong at home but I see value in this away. After all, the last three games were all wins for Sporting while there were a draw and two consecutive losses for Varzim.

St.Truiden are a difficult suggestion because although they are currently second and a good team, they play against a good home side in Beveren. But the fact that the latter have lost their 2 last games 7-1,4-1 doesn’t bid well for them. Their visitors are obviously in better form , so why not back them up?

Valencia away against Huelva is simply a personal choice since I think that the visitors will now start a serious effort for the top which they currently view from the third position of the table. The hosts are the worst home side in the Primera and Valenthia should win games like this one ,if they want to be entertaining us in the Champions League next season as well.

Being from Greece, I can tell you that the last two Greek games are ,in my opinion, the best home wins this weekend, esp. Xanthi. OFI , too though,have my approval since they have been playing better and better and are traditionally very strong at home. Anyway the latter are a side that typically improve their play mostly in the second part of the season.

My Greek picks

February 9 2003, 9:36 AM 

Encouraged by previous week's successful Greek picks,and being a Greek mtself I'll do my duty again.(Hopefully as successfully.)

Aris Saloniki - Egaleo
1,70 3,00 3,90
HOME
Not much to say really.Egaleo are decent but away to a stronger team that has had some bad results recently and will be looking to make amends.
14:00 OFI Kreta - Akratitos
1,40 3,50 5,60
HOME
When I posted my Weekend's picks ,you will notice that OFI had been at 1,60.Now it has fallen further below in the face of some silly rumours about a fixed game.To me that's pure bull.I expect a convincing OFI victory.And I stress the word CONVINCING.
14:00 Panahaiki - Panionios
3,00 2,90 2,00
AWAY
Well, since the start of the season I have liked the away team and I still do.Panahaiki are doomed to fall a
division and they don't have much in them.Not against an ambitious team like Panionios.I seriously back the away.
16:00 Kallithea - PAOK Saloniki
3,00 2,90 2,00
AWAY
My team Panathinaikos were not only good but also lucky to beat PAOK at home 2 weeks ago.PAOK,despite financial problems,play very well and with passion.They are classes above Kallithea and the bookies have blundered here in my opinion.
16:00 Olympiakos - Iraklis Saloniki
1,30 3,80 7,50
HOME
For the fanatical,bigoted,arrogant Olympiakos fans and management,there's only one result always. A win.Imagine their becoming the laughing stock of Greece today?Much as I would have loved them too, they won't.It's a dead sure banker even at 1,30.
18:15 Panathinaikos - AEK Athens
2,00 2,90 3,00
HOME
It has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a Pana fan.AEK are a team I like and have huge respect for.It's just that although I love the way AEK play,and the good show they produce for the fans,they score a lot but also concede a lot.So what I'm saying is that this team has NOT been able to defeat ANY really strong teams either European or Greek in their last 20 games.They only beat weaker teams and draw with their equal in strength.Not good enough defence.
I predict a narrow hard fought -until the last second win for the home side.
All of them 5 units and 3 units as an accie.

Good luck!

February 9 2003, 3:22 PM 

I had a strange feeling about you.'Bigoted' means 'unreasonably prejudiced and intolerant' which is typical of Thrilos fans.But,that doean't mean that they can't be fine people.For example,my two best friends are Olympiakos fans but I wouldn't change them for the world.

Well, you know, there was a bit of humour in those comments,some teasing never hurt anybody.

Can you tell me why I can't find the Pana game anymore in any bookie???

Today

Dear friends, today’s games are harder than yesterday’s but I couldn’t post any picks since I was very pressed for time being in a place I can’t talk about, protesting about sth I can’t mention.



(just teasing a certain friend here)

Seriously now, to begin with the Greek Championship, some home wins and an away for Oympiakos are very inviting but the odds are so low, making them worthwhile only on heavy sums, sth I’m averse to. This year has been very bad and we should protect what profits we have had.

I therefore have come up with the following picks bases on info from various sites and statistics. I’m not thrilled with today’s market so I’ll bet small stakes.

Charleroi v Mouscron >2.5 1.45
FC Synot v FK Jablonec 1 2.00
Liberec v Sigma Olomouc 1 1.60
Eintracht Trier v Waldhof Mannheim 1 1.63
Alemannia Aachen v W. Burghausen 1 1.63
FSV Mainz 05 v RW Oberhausen >2.5 1.63
PAOK Saloniki v OFI Crete >2.5 1.70
Akratitos v Olymp. Piraeus 2 1.25
Osasuna v Real Madrid 2 1.70
U.Leiria v Moreirense 1 1.68
3 units on all of them separately and 2 units as a combination.

Good luck.

Today...

February 19 2003, 2:27 PM 

Last few days have seen my profit be reduced to 46.326 units.(Bank 1.046,326)
Suggestions:

Manchester Utd v Juventus 1 1.85 (10 units)
Real Madrid v Borussia Dort. >2.5 1.65 (10 units)
AC Milan v Lokomotiv Moscow >2.5 1.70 (10 units)
Basel v Deportivo >2.5 1.70 (10 units)

And a 5 unit combo , all of them.

No need for analysis as I think picks are self-evident.
I'm a bit apprehensive of the Milan over,but without risk there is no possibility of serious profit.I see it as a legitimate risk to prefer the overs as the Real and Milan home wins odds were too low.Both giants can score more than 2 and I think their opponents are good enough to score at least 1 goal and complete the minimum required.
ManU were a tough proposition for Juve before, how much more now then,that they are flu stricken and Fergie's boys will even more humiliated if they fail to win a weakened side.Two losses in a row would make them real losers.I think they are too proud to let that happen.

Good luck to us all and may logic prevail.(And my picks.)

Hello Macoti !

February 23 2003, 8:00 PM 

How are you doing?
Hope so too.Thanks for your friendly greeting.

You know, I've been having some really tiresome weeks recently and my picks have suffered as a result and I'm hanging in profit by sheer will.As if the crazy results happening all around Europe and England weren't enough!

Hope you are doing well dear Mac.

Cheers.

Thanks Skoufos!

February 23 2003, 11:33 PM 

Yes, nice day for our team but I didn't like that elbow jibe at Olisadebe.Was it sth serious after all?

I'm not particularly pleased with myself.I could get much,much more bets right,but what I'm doing right now in my life is prety silly.Working like a dog and at the same time trying to familiarise myself with Linux(where I have strange problems with the internet connection)and trying to get the best right in a hasty nervous,way.I'm just too stubborn;when I start sth I want to get a result no matter what.But I will persist I'm fed up to the gills with Bill Gates and the Evil Empire.Free software for me form now on.

Sorry for the rant.

Olisadebe's injury looks quite serious. Possibly broken zygomatic bone. Be patient and you will manage to work things out! Good luck!

Olisadebe was lucky not to have a broken zygomatic bone but only a hematoma. He is still doubtful for the game against Anderlecht but he will travel in Belgium. The one who is unlikely to play is Kolka who is injured. Good luck!

OBSERVATIONS:

I betted with relatively high stakes while I knew I was in terrible time pressure due to hard work in my job throught this month.

As a result, my results suffered during the week and it is always at weekends when I record very good results especially singles and combos in the Greek Championship.Obviously,at weekends I had more time to rest a little and more time amounts to better results.
