Football / Soccer Betting – BallaBets

Last post I wrote about the disappointment of “favourite” European nationals, being Germany the only one to save with a very good match against the Aussies. This time, not even them saved the day. Their lost to Serbia was pretty surprising and they actually fought hard to score, but they didn’t manage to put the ball in the net. In this case I believe it was more a matter of luck, since they deserved at least a draw.

England, and Italy had a hard time (again) and were lucky to draw their matches. England then, they escaped from being massacred by Algeria. With a little more organization, the Africans could have netted at least a couple shots. Spain won against the weak Honduras, but I have my doubts if they will be able to beat Paraguay in order to qualify.

After being unable to access the site because of technical reasons, I’m back to give my two cents about the start of 2010 World Cup.

Everyone could see it, first round was pretty boring. Most of teams playing not to concede any goal and the teams considered as favorites by the bookies having big problems against weak opponents. Spain was by far the most expected disappointment by me, since I just know they won’t reach quarter finals, no matter what. They just don’t have what it takes to go well in a World Cup.

England as always, have huge problems with the goalkeeper, and it is another one that I bet against going deep in the tournament. Rooney might save them once or twice, but won’t be able to take them through the though teams.

Today I followed my theory to bet on under 2.5 goals on all Italian Serie B matches. Once again, the bet was on all doubles and it worked quite well. Below, the table of bets:

Last weekend I tried for the first time a bet that I’ve been thinking about in ages. I know this must be a really newbie bet for pros, but it confirmed something I (and most people that follow Italian football) suspected.

Playing under is almost a sure bet when it comes to lower divisions there. I think that applies for many lower divisions in a lot of European countries. Draws seem to be a good bet as well, since most of the games end with 0×0 or 1×1.
