Primo do you know about betfair.Its a betting exchange . if you want to participate in thier chatroom you have to have an account with them .however if you just want to read what theyve got to say , slot betfair into your browser go to their site and at the top of the page you will see chatroom go there and the look down the left hand side click on soccer or tennis or what ever you like and see what those guys have to say... no good taking my advice.... they are betting live and in thousands on matches .they take more of an interest inthings that happen in england and europe than we do here.... worth a look trust me

Results:
Nigera 3 - 0 Ireland
Croatia 1 - 0 Slovakia
Holland 0 - 1 Belgium
Poland 1 - 0 Greece

Floydboy it appears you were right, considering I only got 1/4 picks right. I still thought that Holland would easily beat Belgium, the result for this match was a big upset, so was Ireland's loss.

Yeah, sorry Primo, but I have to agree with Floydyboy here. Betting on 'Friendlies' is a bit like betting on practice matches. No doubt the teams are trying to win, but there's no way they are as desperate as if there was really something important riding on the result.

"No doubt the teams are trying to win, but there's no way they are as desperate as if there was really something important riding on the result."

..............................

I've heard it said that this very rationale can make betting on the draw in friendlies quite lucrative, provided the home team is not a huge favourite.
