Weekend Round Up & Euro 2008 Qualifying

To round up the weekends action i'll first start with Friday's 2 balls where i went against one of my unwritten rules where i backed the same 3 ball on both Friday and Thursday. Needless to say i didn't win it the second time which is why i should really stick to my rules.

As expected i had a very good weekend in the NFL going 6-1-2 and made a good bet change after seeing the weather report prior to Monday night's game.

So today sees another round of Euro 2008 qualifying matches and i have picked 4 games to bet on:

Republic of Ireland v Czech Republic
Czech Republic -0.5
1 unit @ 2.06

Slovakia v Germany
Germany -0.5
1 unit @ 2.08

Ukraine v Scotland
Ukraine -0.5
1 unit @ 2.11
I think it will be a case of after the lord mayors show for the Scots following their shock result against France on Saturday and i think it will be back to their usual poor form today.

France v Faroe Islands
Faroe Islands +4.5 & +5
0.5 units @ 2.24

I have also been enjoying a profitable few weeks betting against Swedish 2nd division side Assyriska who are an all-muslim, all-Syrian immigrant team made up of car plant workers in a Stockholm suburb. Very observant Sunnis, the late afternoon kickoffs pose huge problems for Assyriska in the month of Ramadam as the players have not eaten or drank since Sunrise and do not take on water during play nor at halftime.
They went 0-3 during Ramadam (which i'm sorry to say is over now) as they did last season. Many thanks to Shawn for putting me on to this one.
