NOTE: I'm writing this on Wednesday night as I plan on being drunker an English Soccer Hooligan on Thursday night.
Well we're coming off a slightly disappointing day yesterday. Not disappointing because of our results (which I'm sure weren't very good) but disappointing because when I read my write-ups they actually sounded like I was seriously handicapping these games. Brother, nothing can be farther from the truth.
Today I get to put my greatest soccer handicapping insight into full blown action. First a quick recap.
Alright so this may be the most absurd theory in the known gambling universe but the numbers never lie. So far the African teams are 0-4-1 and the Saudi Arabia team (which is right off the coast of Africa) is 0-0-1.
So lets put this theory into play and see what we get.
Game #1 - Argentina vs Serbia, Monte and Negro
The real genius of the ABFC may be in the secondary (or indirect) effect in the game after. Since this is the first time we will be directly observing its effects lets take the 1/2 goal in case Argentina's immune system is able to ward off the bird flu enough to sneak a draw. And with Serbia Monte and Negro you're getting 3 countries for the price of two.
SERBIA-MONTENEGRO +0.5 +127 (wsex.com)
Game #2 - Netherlands vs Ivory Coast
A direct ABFC game. This one is too easy and with positive expectation its a steal. My only worry is that this game probably will have Joe Public all over it. I still love it. Oh well.
2* NETHERLANDS -0.5 +103 (wsex.com)
Game #3 - Mexico vs Angola
Another direct ABFC game. Would you worry about laying a goal with these guys?
Not me.
MEXICO -1 -105 (thegreek.com)
