Impressive Barcelona

At 2.36, the Over 2.5 goals price seemed generous for the Champion's League Final. Lacking confidence in the spreadsheet's pricing ability on neutral games and inter-league games, I didn't play this pre-game though. Reading in-play football matches is not something that I seem to be very good at, or at least there are many out there who are better than me, but occasionally I get something right. There looked like goals from the start, and the market agreed as the prices didn't drop too fast, even with no goals until the 27'. At 2-1 to Barcelona, it appeared to me that there were still more goals to come and I switched to the 3.5 goal market for a nice profit.

I have a few bets for the French finale tomorrow, and that will be it for the season. Two Strong Draws in the Monaco v Olympique Lyonnais and Paris St Germain v St Etienne games, and value for Valenciennes (2.02), Lorient (2.66) and Lille (1.88).

I'll be back on Thursday after a few days away, sans PC, and will post up the final Strong Draw 2011 results. I know you can't wait.
