Handicappers like Purdue in finals of Leroy’s Togel contest

Posted on by Vernon Weaver

As if he needs another reason to scowl, coach Gene Keady has his worst team in his 25th and final season at Purdue.

 

The Boilermakers are 7-17 going into today’s home game against Big Ten opponent Minnesota. Betting on a bad team is a risky proposition, but the two contestants in the finals of the Leroy’s Challenge agree Purdue as a Pick is a good bet.

 

Alan Boston, a professional sports bettor who specializes in college basketball, and Golden Nugget sports book manager Nick Bogdanovich both made the Boilermakers one of their top five plays mainly because Keady is coaching his last home game and his team should be on an emotional high.

 

The handicapping contest, staged Friday nights at the Riviera, was started by Jimmy Vaccaro, public relations director for Leroy’s sports books.

 

Beginning with a field of nine handicappers, two went head-to-head each week. The contestants picked five games against the spread from the Saturday college schedule.

One selection was designated the best bet for tiebreaking purposes, and Bogdanovich picked Purdue as his best bet.

 

Boston played Auburn as a 4-point home underdog to Louisiana State as his best bet.

 

Boston’s other three plays: Kentucky (+3) over Alabama, Rhode Island (+8) over St. Joseph’s, and Northern Arizona (-7) over Sacramento State.

 

Bogdanovich’s other four Togel plays: Providence (+9) over Syracuse, Texas A&M; (-2) over Texas Tech, UNLV (-2) over Air Force, and Weber State (-9) over Idaho State.

 

Leroy’s is awarding $5,000 to the winner, plus $5,000 to the winner’s selected charity.

 

Vaccaro said the contest has been a success despite the combined record of the handicappers — 29-40-1, including 2-12 on best bets.

 

“At least we’ve got people talking about it,” he said. “Not one person has …

There’s a New Bola88 Game in Town

Posted on by Vernon Weaver

 

 

I just checked my ranking on CardPlayer.com and noticed that my overall ranking was 126th in 2004. I feel privileged to be among the top-ranked players and hope to improve in 2005. My first tournament in 2005 was the Aussie Millions in Melbourne, Australia. There were 263 participants, an increase from 133 last year because more than 100 players won their seats through PartyPoker.com. First-place prize money was a guaranteed AUD $1 million, a first for Australian poker. I placed second in this event last year when my K-K lost to Tony Bloom’s K-3 when he flopped 9-3-3. I was looking forward to another chance to place in this event, but it was not to be.

 

We started with $5,000 in chips with a free rebuy of another $5,000 anytime during the first three levels. I never really got started with anything that took me anywhere. You know it’s going to be a tough day when you go all in with A-K and the other guy has A-K, too; or, when you get no action when you have A-A! Those were my two best Bola88 hands of the day.

 

I made it to the sixth level when I was in the big blind with K-7 and had $1,700 left in chips after posting the $500 big blind. Everyone passed to Billy “The Croc” Argyros on the button, who raised enough to put me all in. If I passed, I’d have to post $250 in the small blind the next hand, and if I passed on that, I would be left with $1,450, which was only three times the big blind. Billy could have been raising with anything here, and a king is a good overcard to have. I decided to take my stand here and …

Japan’s never-ending Nabisco Togel Hongkong Cup nonsense

Posted on by Vernon Weaver

 

 

The sight of Gamba Osaka running out at Expo ’70 Stadium tonight is unlikely to fill their fans with hope. It’s more likely to fill those in attendance with a sense of trepidation as the team currently leading the J. League standings does battle with defending Nabisco Cup champions Jubilo Iwata for a trophy no one genuinely wants to win.

 

Last weekend, Gamba celebrated twenty years at their Banpaku home with a well deserved 1-0 win over bitter rivals Urawa Reds which kept them Togel Hongkong top of the league. Tonight, however, Gamba run out at their crumbling home ground to take part in one of the most chaotically organised League Cup competitions in recent history.

 

March’s devastating Tōhoku earthquake not only saw the J. League put on hold, it also prompted the complete reorganisation of the League Cup – known to all and sundry as the Nabisco Cup after its biscuit-producing sponsor. Two rounds of hastily arranged home-and-away fixtures were organised but as in previous seasons, Japan’s four AFC Champions League representatives parachuted in at the quarter-final stage.

 

That means Gamba Osaka, their crosstown rivals Cerezo, defending league champions Nagoya Grampus and 2010 Emperor’s Cup champions Kashima Antlers now run out for the first time this season in a competition supposed to represent the best knock-out football Japan has to offer. That is palpably not the case – the JFA-administered Emperor’s Cup is a far superior tournament – but so redundant is this year’s League Cup, the J. League must finally address the issue.

 

The first step is to permanently do away with the pointless group stage in favour of a straight knock-out format. The second is to reintroduce J2 teams, giving fans the opportunity to see new teams in action and encouraging …

Goal-line technology Togel Singapore inches closer

Posted on by Vernon Weaver

 

 

Blatter.Sepp Blatter has confirmed that adopting goal-line technology will formally be discussed at FIFA’s International Board meeting in October.

 

However, the FIFA President, speaking at the Youth Olympics in Singapore, sounded a note of caution that cameras or microchips are anywhere close to introduction.

 

“It would be a nonsense if we did not reopen the file of technology,” said Blatter. “If we have an accurate and simple system then we will implement, but so far we have not had a simple nor an accurate system.”

 

This claim flies in the face of Hawkeye’s use in tennis for years, documentation backing Cairos, a micro-chip inserted into balls made by Adidas, FIFA’s favourite manufacturer, and television replays, as used in ruGoal!gby. Blatter once more Togel Singapore dismissed video replay as a disruptive intrusion into football, insisting goal-line technology was the only possibility on the agenda.

 

Pressure on the the President to budge is not letting up. Blatter made reference to refereeing mistakes in the tournament he is currently attending, while later that evening Hungary were awarded a goal against England at Wembley that replays showed had not crossed the line.

You’ll Never Walk Alone, he said about Togel Hongkong

Posted on by Vernon Weaver

 

 

 

The 2003-04 season had ground to a halt on Merseyside, as Houllier’s Liverpool breathed its last monotonous, mediocre breath. Unaware that an inspired Spanish successor would lead the club to the European crown twelve months later, I headed south for the final weekend of the French/Spanish leagues: Bordeaux V Togel Hongkong Monaco preceded by Athletic Bilbao V Atletico Madrid.

 

Monaco were European Cup finalists four days later, but the memory of that weekend is dominated by the performance of one man: Fernando Torres. Unfazed by the prospect of playing away from home, the 20-year-old captain won the game on his own, scoring all three Atletico goals.

 

When Fernando Torres signed for Liverpool three years later, memories of that Basque evening basking in the brilliance of El Nino came flooding back. A substantial fee was justified by an even more substantial return. £24m Torres went on to score 65 goals in 102 games for Liverpool.

 

Output aside, the cultural assimilation of Liverpool’s number nine was a process that began even before his famous signature graced a Liverpool contract. Rumours began to circulate about the club’s motto appearing on his armband in his final days at Madrid. This is Torres’ autobiographical account: “It happened in San Sebastian when I was playing for Atletico Madrid against Real Sociedad. I was battling with a defender, and the captain’s armband I was wearing came loose and fell open. As it hung from my arm, you could see the message written on the inside, in English.”

 

The resultant song in celebration of an overnight Liverpool hero almost wrote itself: “His armband proved he was a red, Torres, Torres. ‘You’ll never walk alone’ it said, Torres, Torres. We bought the lad from sunny Spain, he gets the ball he scores …

Holland World Keluaran HK Cup Profile

Posted on by Vernon Weaver

 

 

Road to South Africa

 

They may have enjoyed a relatively easy draw, but the Netherlands could hardly have been more convincing as they swept all before them on the way to winning eight qualifying games in a row.

 

In a group that contained one less opponent than the rest of the European groups, the Netherlands started their campaign with a win away in Macedonia and simply never let up. A narrow win in Oslo over Norway was followed by a Keluaran HK comfortable home victory against Scotland, and with their two main challengers dispatched early on, the Dutch cruised through to the finals and conceded just two goals en route.

 

Bert van Marwijk’s side might have enjoyed a charmed run to the finals, but they showed in a gritty final-day win in the hostile confines of Glasgow’s Hampden Park that they are also capable of grinding out results.

 

Analysis

 

Despite so much expectation, the Dutch still have no World Cup trophy to show for all their undoubted talents.

 

Grizzled tactician van Marwijk will hope to change all that when he leads his Dutch side at what could be one of the most open World Cups in years, and there’s plenty of experience rippling through his well-balanced squad.

 

Skipper Giovanni van Bronckhorst, midfield talisman Mark van Bommel and workhorse striker Dirk Kuyt have seen it all before, while mercurial midfielder Rafael van der Vaart seems to have been around for an eternity – despite being just 26.

 

Perhaps the only weakness resides in goal, where the Dutch have struggled to replace legendary custodian Edwin van der Saar. Ajax shot-stopper Maarten Stekelenburg is the current incumbent, but doubts remain about his composure under pressure.

 

Key player: Mark van Bommel

Seoul Score, Seongnam Soar, Aplikasi Judi Online Suwon Solid

Posted on by Vernon Weaver

 

 

After going for almost 700 minutes of K-League football without scoring, FC Seoul’s coach Senol Gunes would have tried anything to break the drought. It is unknown however if it was the Turk who booked the half-time entertainment for the game against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors on May 12.

 

It could be a coincidence that the team scored shortly after the FC Seoul shirt-sporting saxophonist belted out ‘Dancing Queen’ though maybe not.

 

Almost two months and seven games since last Aplikasi Judi Online hitting the back of the net, Lee Sang-yeop swept home a spilled shot from close range against the Asian Champions.

 

The Jeonbuk net rippled six minutes from the end and, as one would expect, it caused a great deal of excitement among the goal-starved fans and players. So much so that just 30 seconds later, the Asian Champions equalized.

 

The scoreline stayed 1-1 which sees Seoul slip to sixth, ten points behind unbeaten leaders Seongnam.

 

The seven-time champions are relentless. Seongnam are unbeaten not only in this K-League season so far but for the last seven games of 2006. Three more points came on Sunday evening with a 2-1 win that was more comfortable than the scoreline suggests against a struggling Busan I’Park team. The visitors’ late consolation was only the sixth goal that Seongnam ‘keeper Kim Yong-dae has conceded this season.

 

Just as solid these days, if not quite as dynamic in attack, are last-season’s runners-up, Suwon Samsung Bluewings. It is fortunate for the league that the Bluewings are managing to keep the yellow machine in sight at the top of the table.

 

Suwon’s defence is a miserly one, always giving the three-time champions a chance to collect three points. They have been doing without Ahn Jung-hwan who …

Former Keluaran HK Stars Staking Claim For South Korea

Posted on by Vernon Weaver

 

 

Lee Young-pyo congratulates Lee Keun-ho

In Korean football, you are nothing without a nickname. You don’t have to be called to the national team to get one but it helps. This season, we have seen the return to form of a number of old heads and the appearance of some long-unused aliases headlines in the huge portals.

 

“The Little Emperor”, “The Lion King’’, “The Millenium Kid” and “The Lord of the Ring” are all colorful movie-like monikers but they are players who are working their way back to the spotlight and into the gaze of national team coach Huh Jung-moo.

 

Lee Dong-guk is in the best form. The Lion King rarely roared during his time in England with Middlesbrough from January 2007 to May 2008, scoring only against lower league teams in various cup competitions. The striker, who was surprisingly overlooked by Guus Hiddink for the 2002 World Cup and then missed the 2006 tournament with a serious knee injury, is on fire.

 

He took a while to ignite however after his return to the Keluaran HK Land of the Morning Calm. Lee spent the second half of last season struggling to settle in Seongnam. He moved to Jeonju in the winter and is thriving in the slightly more genteel surrounding of North Jeolla Province.

 

He has scored six goals in seven league games for league leaders Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors and is enjoying himself once again.

 

“As each game passes, I feel more confident and my goalscoring instinct is returning. We have lots of games in May but if we can maintain this pace then we can get some good results.”

 

“There are many good players in the national team. If I was to get called up then I am confident …

The Bromley Boys and Agen Togel

Posted on by Vernon Weaver

 

 

 

 

Non-league football, the heart of the game, where only true fans live and breathe. I used to be one of them, but remember thinking as I stood frozen on the crumbling terraces of another middle-of-nowhere ‘stadium’, slurping thermonuclear hot chocolate the taste of sewer water, that it helps if you support a winning team in these circumstances.

 

My team Woking was one of the best, which made my teenage odyssey through England’s decrepit amateur arenas a joy. In 1969, Dave Roberts however, followed not only a losing team but a hopeless one. Roberts chronicles his support across a season of almost unmitigated disaster, as Bromley cave in to one team after another and he searches in vain for love and identity.

 

A hymn to the intrinsic comedy of British football fandom in the spirit of Harry Pearson, The Bromley Boys, if never quite as hilarious as The Far Corner, is charming and humorous throughout and an easy page-turner. His utterly inept heroes who lose, lose and lose again as they stumble to a rock-bottom finish in the Isthmian League are centre stage, with every calamity meticulously recorded.

 

But the funniest parts of the book are his wry recollections of his own angst and misadventure as a hormonal teenager, which should have formed the core of the Agen Togel book instead of the matches. It is a charming read and a very British one. I can’t think of another country which not only tolerates such ineptitude and naffness, but actually revels in it and celebrates it as a badge of cultural honour.

 

It is healthy to laugh at yourself, but following a losing team is actually the heart of most fans’ experience as only one team end up champions each season. When your …
