Wednesday night betting action

Hmm I guess last night was a case of close but no cigar but I honestly thought that Lyon would be victorious against Ajax, despite the recent 0-0 draw between them, Lyon's lack of goals scored and Ajax's lack of goals conceded in the competition.


I guess the pick would go down as a bad one given the stats but I had a hunch and unfortunately it didn't reap any rewards for the canary. We shall move on quickly as the other 3 picks were comfortable in the end, despite FC Basel's late wobble!


Tonight I have two bets and ones a slightly different approach than usual. My first bet is a normal 2.5pt TREBLE that returns 15.27pts on the following selections:

• Bayer Leverkusen vs Chelsea - Both teams to score @ 4/5 - UEFA Champions League
• Arsenal to beat Borussia Dortmund @ 11/10 - UEFA Champions League
• Marseilles to beat Olympiacos @ 8/13 - UEFA Champions League

My extra bet today looks at the anytime goal scorer market in tonight's Champions League ties between Arsenal & Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan & Barcelona. A 2.5pt DOUBLE pays out 10.50pts on Robin Van Persie (William Hill offer 6/5) and Lionel Messi (William Hill go 10/11) to both score in their respective games tonight.

That's a total stake of 5pts for a total potential return of 25.77pts.
