well, perhaps...

after collecting my winnings from last night's champion's league game i had a look at ac milan's next fixture - their last of the season - which is away to reggina. reggina are 17th and could very well go down, milan are in the top 4 and have just won the champion's league. the odds on milan to win? 7-1.

rarely do you see odds like that on one game!

so i had a look at the fixtures... lazio (3rd) are away to sienna (18th) - the odds on a lazio win? 8-1.

an accumulater backing the away teams on those two games alone pays at about 70-1.

as a matter of interest, coral are still listing these games, but william hill are no longer taking bets on any of this weekend's serie a matches.

Coral just stopped taking bets on Milan, although Lazio is still open.

Looks like many had the same idea Leb.

did you get stuck in bbjl?

i have loaded up.

i'LL HAVE SOME OF THAT 8)

I did indeed sir :D

Skybet are still taking bets on this.
To be fair Reggina are better team than their polsition shows.

I betted anyway.  8)

Sporting Bet are taking bets on both.

Milan 15/2 --- Draw 5/1 -----Regina 2/9

Sienna 1/5----Draw 21/4----Lazio 8/1

Now I think there are 9 possible outcomes there, 4 of which will make good money 4 that will just about cover costs or be a bit under and 1 that will lose money if you were to bet on all outcomes.

Hmmm is it worth it?

William Hill online are still taking bets, both AC Milan and Lazio are 8/1.

£1 gets you £76.50 return on the accy.

Meeeelan will stick out a reserve side so i wouldn't waste any money on that, the Lazio one would be wirht a bet though.

For a Quid you get

Milan and Sienna = £10.20
Milan and Draw   =  £52.13
Milan and Lazio  =  £75.50
draw and draw =  £36.50
draw and sienna =£6.20
draw and lazio =£53.00
regina and seinna = £1.46
regina anddraw = £7.63
regina and lazio = £9.98


Cover all options and your guaranteed to only lose £7.54 if the worst comes to the worst and you have 4 chances in 9 of making decent money   :mrgreen:

Isn't it a bit odd.
Even if Man United fielded a reserve team, the odds would be no where near like theses.  Milan and Lazio reserves teams are more than a match against the bottom half of the table.  :?

Dig out the mid 90's Milan vs Foggia game to understand the betting!  Both needed a draw (mIlan to win the league, Foggia to stay up).  Had 0-0 written all over it until some pesky Milan player put in a pointless 30 yard shot that seemed to catch the keeper knapping.  A very low key celebation followed with a few puzzled looks, a kick off and then within a minute or two a Foggia equalizer followed by barely another sniff of even trying to go forward for the rest of the game.

the big question is though rob... have you wacked any money down on this?

This is ace. I've followed the yeovil formula 8)

I don't bet, especially after geting lucky with a £2 bet on Chelsea to win after extra time followed by taking my mates money in our first ever game of poker.

8.4 on betfair for Milan to win

Those odds are mental!

They shouldnt accept bets for games in a league filled with scandal.

you shouldn't bet on games in a league full of scandal! unless you are the one scandalising of course...

and suprise suprise they are both losing.

Lazio give away a pen. Dodgy.

Milan got beat 2-0.

This was an absolute joke watching these games yesterday. Between three of us we wouldve netted about 58k had this come in.
