Champions League Soccer Picks

Round 4 of the European Champions League soccer tournament is set for tonight:  There are 3 soccer games in our focus to present to you - in Game 1 of our selection, PSV Eindhoven hosts Bayern M.  PSV were defeated on the road by Bayern Munich 4-1 in the last round in CL. Bayern has 4 wins in a row in all competitions.  Franck Ribéry will miss out today due to some injury concern, but the rest of the team is ready. I expect both teams to score goals in this match, so with that said, I pick the option "Alternative Goal Line" Over 2.0 Goals, i.e., if the match total is exactly 2 goals, the Bet will be Void and the wager will be refunded. The 2nd game of our selection features Basel and Paris St.G.. Basel lost 3-0 in the last round from their current opponents in Paris. They are in 3rd place in the group with only 1 point.  Paris St.G. is the best team in the group with 7 points and 7 scored goals. With that said, I expect Paris St.G. to win this match, thus I pick them in the Money Line (ML) with the option "Draw No Bet", i.e., if the game is tied after 90 mins., the Bet is Void. In the last game of our selection, Borussia M. is playing Celtic at home. Borussia Monchengladbach are unbeaten in the last 10 home games in all competitions, so they will seek to increase this number to 11 today. Borussia are ranked 3rd in Group C with 3 points, 3 goals scored and 6 goals allowed.  Celtic is not playing good in the CL - they recorded a 7-0 defeat at Barcelona, a 3-3 draw with Manchester City and a 0-2 defeat from Borussia M. at home.  With that said, I pick the home team Borussia M. to win the game in the Money Line (ML) with the option "Draw No Bet", i.e., if the game is tied after 90 mins., the Bet is Void. 

Special Proposition: 3-team Parlay - Parlays are single wagers [of each selected game above] that are linked together, all of which must win for the Parlay to be graded as a Winner. Parlays are actually accumulators, which are widely used in popular European betting markets. The odds on parlays are greater than individual side, selected above. In our case, the 3-team Parlay, consisting of the proposed matches, gives us the following odds: (1.22 x 1.25 x 1.20) = 1.83. If for some reason, any of the Single Bets above (participating in the Parlay) is Void, the odds would be reduced. 

UPDATE November 01, 2016 - FINAL Results: PSV Eindhoven 1-2  Bayern Munich, Basel  1-2  Paris St. G., Borussia M. 1-1 Celtic. Bayern defeated PSV - Lewandowski scored twice away from home to secure the victory, and the Germans progressed to the last 16 in the tournament. Arias had given the hosts a 14th-minute lead, but the best PSV can finish after the loss, is 3rd place to earn UEFA Europa League berth. Paris SG beat Basel: Meunier's stunning late volley in the 90' min. secured the away win for the French team. The victory enabled Paris to go into the knockout stages. Borussia Mönchengladbach and Celtic shared the points in Germany, in a 1-1 draw, which triggered our Option "Draw No Bet", so this Bet was Void.  Stindl's volley put the home side in front; Dembélé's penalty brought Celtic level.  Borussia is 3rd in Group C with 4 points.  In summary, we were able to win two of our single selections today [the 3rd one was canceled] including, the proposed [now reduced] 2-team parlay with reduced odds of 1.53 [the 2 single wagers that we won were combined in that parlay]. This is the beauty of the option "Draw No Bet", that provides a "safety net", and allows you to still make money with the remaining selections of your parlay. In the end of the day 53% on your money is way better than...a loss.
