Rosenborg - Steaua / X2 double chance (2.20)

Take this as an intuition but i have some reasons also...

BIG BIG value on Steaua double chance and straight win, I tipped Rosenborg to win and Steaua not to score in first leg but now Stanciu is back and finally Steaua played something, without Tahar that was left out of the squad and Hamroun, Alcenat, Breeveld and goalkeeper Cojocaru missed first 11 because their game was very poor.. and thanks God that was a good decision. It was a tough match against CSU Craiova but they managed to win in the final minutes of the match.

I saw other team spirit and motivation that i'm sure it will continue in the second leg of the Europa-League play-off and will fight until the final whistle against Rosenborg. We all know that Norwagians lead with 3-0 and i dont see them winning again, i have more reasons to believe so. Steaua plays better away from home, first eleven will finally be without the "dead-hands" that killed the first leg. Papp and Hamroun are injured.

Stanciu will play and thats a big plus. Norway champions will be more carefull because they know that Steaua has better players and imo they will defend waiting for counters.

I'm sure Rosenborg will not chase to win because even with a 2-0 or 2-1 loss they will still qualify. I post now because odds will drop until the first whistle. So chase for the value.

20 units on this one.

Rosenborg - Steaua / X2 double chance (2.20) 10/10

Rosenborg - Steaua / Steaua +0 AH (3.40) 5/10

or you can bet the following:

Steaua to score Over 1.5 @3.3

Steaua to score over 2.5 @9.5

Rose - Steaua Over 6.5 @33

Rosenborg BK: De Lanlay (4/0 f), Reginiussen (1/0 d)

Steaua Bucuresti: Papp (4/0 d, doubtful), Hamroun (5/1 m), Neagu (2/0 m, went on loan)

Preliminariile cupelor europene pentru casele de pariuri

Gata s-a incheiat si prima mansa din turul 2 al preliminariilor Champions League si Europa League. Aducatoare de bani in visteria caselor de pariuri! 

Chiar asa, Ludogoretul lui Moti, care se batea cu Liverpool a pierdut acasa cu campioana Moldovei, cvasi-necunoscutii de la Milasmi Orhei. Pana si Dinamo Zagreb a dezamagit, doar egal, tot acasa, cu luxemburghezii de la Fola Esch. Oricum cred ca "2" solist in partidele retur se prevede clar. Cam cum a fost cu FC Botosani in primul tur. Tare mi-e frica sa nu fie "2" solist acum si in partida de la Botosani, cu Legia Varsovia.

Semi dezamagiri, dar au tinut pariul de "1" solist au fost si Partizan Belgrad, cu Dila Gori, ai Bate Borisov, cu Dundalk. Greu, dar nu imposibil "2" si in aceste partide retur.

In Europa League, placuta a fost victoria Astrei Giurgiu in Scotia, indiferent cat contesta golul Inverness. Solistii clari, conform site-urilor specializate au fost Rosenborg la Reykjavik si Kairat Almaty, acasa cu Alashkert FC. Ambele au obtinut victorii! Pentru pariorii cu experienta, FC Koebenhavn, Slovan Bratislava si Apollon Limassol si-au respectat blazonul si au obtinut victoriile scontate!

Surprind reprezentante din Bulgaria si Croatia, tari care isi fac griji, daca vor mai avea reprezentante in turul urmator. Din Bulgaria, pe langa surpriza Ludogoretului, Mlada Boleslav a fost invinsa acasa de Stroemsgodset, la fel si Beroe a fost invinsa acasa de Brondby! Pentru Croatia, Dinamo Zagreb tocmai v-am spus ce a facut, iar Hajduk Split a pierdut la Koper!

Daca la surprizele de mai sus adaugam si unele rezultate din turneul final CONCACAF, adica egalurile Mexicului cu Trinidad and Tobago (4-4) si Guatemala (0-0) si egalul USA, 0-0, cu Panama, a fost o vara grea pentru pariori. Nu vreau sa-mi aduc aminte de turneul final America Sud cu surprizele Brazilia, Columbia, Argentina,
