Portugal vs. Russia - OVER?

[ibaskin]

Unlike last game Russia is going to come out fireing because they need a win to stay alive. I have a small play on Spain that I got yesterday at -195 and want to add a total play. What do you guys think?? I'm leaning towards the over...

[coreyschucky]

Russia hasn't scored a goal in international competition in the World Cup or the Euro's in over 8 matches. If anyone lights it up i think it will be Portugal.

[ibaskin]

Wow really?? Hmmm I think I'll take the under then. Thanks and BOL on your plays.

GOAL.....................:cool:

Port **1-0

[Quadry]

Russia is in HUGE trouble. Down to 10 men. Ouch!

I cannot live bet thru my service, but if I could a lot of money would be on Portugal for the 2nd half.

Keep it up Portugal!:thumbs:

[sam1979]

Core,

What you think : Final result will be ?

Port : 2-0
2-1
3-0
3-1
4-0

[coreyschucky]

I think the one with the best chance would be 2-0. I don't know haven't followed the commentary on the game. Having serious computer problems. It keeps crashing on me. But most likely 2-0 would be the outcome.

[sam1979]

I like

3-0 - +350

4-0 - +800

5-0 - +4000

[ibaskin]

Oh man I have a feeling Portugal will score another 2 goals. Let's hope it goes UNDER!

[sam1979]

WC 2002

4:0 for Portugal.

Very similar situation, same unexpected loss for Portugal in first match(against USA), same lose for Poland(against Korea), same must win situation for Portugal.

[coreyschucky]

Well I would certainly expect the 0 out of Russia. With Ovichinkov now out for Russia I think there backline is seriously thin. Smertin is the lone defender who's got any skill to stop the Portugese attack so I guess getting more then two goals from Portugal in the 2nd half is capable. I'm just sticking to my 2 unit play on Portugal. I might hedge it a bit if something unforseen happens.

[sam1979]

I think Port will score *1 more

[coreyschucky]

Sam you watching the game...How does the backup goalie look. What did Ovichinnkov due to get a red card and get thrown out.

[sam1979]

I am listening to live audio :

They are saying that PORT have to score *1 more to seal this.

I am bit concerned about a DRAW here ...LOL

Odds are dropping on a DRAW !! +1300 to +1100

[Quadry]

Portugal missed 2 great chances to make it 2-0. They are keeping the pressure on.

[coreyschucky]

Sam it's now down to +1000. I still think they hang on here. Maybe it drops low enough to put more on Portugal but I highly doubt it will drop that low again.

[coreyschucky]

If it goes another 5-10 minutes without scoring I might pull the trigger ont he Under 1.5. Right now it's at +150.

[Quadry]

They are close to tacking on another goal. Just barely getting the shot in. This pressure will either lead to a let down by Russia or by Portugal, from frustration. I do think that another goal will be scored.

[coreyschucky]

Quadry once it hits the 80th minute I would expect Portugal to try and secure the victory. They can't afford a letdown. Russia will certainly look for that one oppurtunity to counter.

[coreyschucky]

I hit the Under 1.5 for +125. It's now at -120.

[Quadry]

I agree completely. Russia's backup is doing a great job in goal. Portugal is swarming the net. 7 shots in the 2nd for Portugal!

[Quadry]

Portugal is subbing in some defense and Figo is going off.

[coreyschucky]

Nice that's what I like to here. Hold them Portugal and don't score another goal...LOL!!!!

[Quadry]

Another save by Russia

[coreyschucky]

Quadry how much time is remaining.

[sam1979]

5 Mins..............:thumbs:

[coreyschucky]

C'mon Portugal end this bad boy...AND NO MORE GOALS let's keep it under 1.5!!!!

[sam1979]

3 mins .......left............:thumbs:

[sam1979]

PORT scores.................*2-0 ( GOAL in 88 min )

[coreyschucky]

Darn..Oh well still came out ahead for the game...Nice Portugal!!!

[sam1979]

*3 mins Added !!

[Quadry]

Man that sucks. I was hoping for the 1-0 for you.

I got busy at work and then thought about the game again and it was 2-0. Close to time being gone at 88:05 when the goal was scored.

At least we get the win.

[coreyschucky]

Yep that's all I cared about was the Portugal par. Wanted to keep it under 1.5 cause i got a good number on that. What can you do they hold out for 43 minutes with a mad down and give up a late goal. Oh well!!! Portugal:yeah:

[Quadry]

Good win guys. Had it not been for Greece, my day would have been going really great. Oh well, I guess I will settle for great.:thumbs:

[ibaskin]

Alright! Under and the Portugal won. And I thought that Russia was going to come out fireing... lol. Another 3-1 day for me. Doing pretty good in this tournament, I should keep a record.

[sam1979]

Core,

There are some nice props in live betting........ ( I got Port to win 2:0 & 3:0 )

I even thought to get 4:0...LOL , but it was a longshot.

Exactly at 84 min got Under 8 corners ( as a cover bet ).

It saves your @$$ pretty well.....LOL
