Today, another Champions League group round ended.Just one more group round to go ( 09-10 December 2008).

Last night Celtic lost against Aalborg, after having a one goal advantage.That means Celtic are out for the UEFA Cup.Real Madrid managed to take all 3 points in the match with BATE, Fenerbahce lost at home with FC Porto, while Fiorentina did the exact same thing.

Villareal and Manchester need a draw, so they both would qualify for the next round.Believe it or not the match ended with a 0-0 scoreline.

Today, we had some nice matches.

Barcelona showed us once again what a scoring power they have.They won with a 5-2 scoreline against Sporting Lisbon.Shakhtar also administrated a 5-0 win at home, over the FC Basel.

AS Roma got their revenge over CFR Cluj and won 3-1.

Anorthosis achived one more point in the Champions League, with a 2-2 final score with W. Bremen.(By the way, Anorthosis had a 2-0 lead in the match.)

Tomorrow we have the UEFA Cup matches.

Maybe a little late, but better late than never.

During this midweek, Arsenal played Spurs and after the change of couch at Spurs, things seem to have gone back to the way they were.Spurs score and receive a lot of goals.But that not what i wanted to say.

Take a look at the betfair graphic up above.Spurs scored two late goal which turned the match upside down.There were matched bets at 1.01 1.02 1.03 before Spurs decided not to lose the match.If you look closely, one line on the graphic even reaches the 400 000 GBP barrier.

Here is yet another betfair graphic, this time, form one of yesterday’s match in which Aalborg hostet Manchester United.

The graphic is for Manchester United just before the start of the match.Again, some really big bets.

Hull won today against Arsenal right on Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal, as most of the matches played at home, was the team with the main initiative and dominated the match.They did have the lead 1-0 but failed to win.Why? Because experience is very important in football.But we are getting into another story here.Maybe in another post.

But what is interesting for me here is the betfair graphic on Arsenal, just before the start of the match.

Let’s take a look an see how there are some big bets placed on Arsenal.You can clearly see at least 5 major bets that bring the price down by one tick.Two of those bets pass, or at least reach the 200 000 GBP barrier.What i would really like to know is did those punters sell for a profit after the first goal, or did they stick to their bet to end up losing like Arsenal?

The weekend is here.Bundesliga and the Premier League have already started a few weeks ago and as of this weekend we also will have Serie A and Primera football matches to bet on.

So plenty of matches to make money on.In Serie A Inter and AC Milan, and Barcelona and Real Madrid in Primera will be looking to start the season the right way.Also the Champions League and UEFA Cup draws took place yesterday, and the Champions League and UEFA Cup matches, look to be great chances of making some nice money.You can find some interesting Football Tips on the Footy Tipster Blog.
