[Champions] Who May Be

A follow up to the “missus must not be out of the loop” post in which I gave some pointers to my readers about the high art of football betting.

Celtic FC v FC Barcelona ——————–> Cha-ching!
Olympique Lyonnais v Manchester United ——————–> Cha-ching!
FC Schalke 04 v FC Porto ——————–> Cha-ching!
Liverpool FC v Internazionale Milano ——————–> Erk!
AS Roma v Real Madrid CF ——————–> Erk!
Arsenal FC v AC Milan ——————–> Erk!
Olympiacos FC v Chelsea FC ——————–> Cha-ching!
Fenerbahce SK v Sevilla FC ——————–> Erk!

After a rigorous calculation involving spreadsheets, scientific gamblometers and other words that would make you gawk in amazement and wonder,  I’ve calculated my predictions to be at 0.5.

An even split down the middle! Guess that’s the best way to start now, isn’t it?

In my defence, the teams (and referees) did not follow the scripts I sent them! Yes, I’m looking right at you Messrs. Tom Henning Ovrebo and Frank de Bleeckere. These two cost Internazionale a place in the Quarterfinals. Still, that doesn’t account for the other 3 missed predictions.

And now, for some further sullying of the Dikos’ Punditry brand name, here are the predictions for the next round of matches. Or also known as the “I’ll make up for the money I’ve lost in the previous round by betting double in this!” round.

Arsenal vs Liverpool
AS Roma vs Manchester United
FC Schalke 04 vs FC Barcelona
Fenerbahce SK vs Chelsea FC

I wager (pun fully intended) there’s going to be an upset in there somewhere.

Good thing I’m not a betting man!

Ps: I wonder if the post had anything to do with all those unknown number I keep receiving angry calls from.

[Champions] Who Are The

It’s the start of yet another category here in wordpress. My my, there seems to be one for everyone. Well almost.

This time, it’s about the science known as football betting. I’ll be putting my neck on the line (not literally) giving my 2 cents worth on who’s to proceed. Any winnings that you might make, MUST be shared between yourself, the missus and I. No hiding anything from the missus you hear?
