I have Zurich only. It's 29/1 on betfair. That's crazy odds considering RM's instability. Nothing else really seems wrongly priced, although I'm tempted to bet on Porto and APOEL. Since I already have Porto to top the group, I don't want to bet on it again now.

Probably, but good betting isn't about 50/50 claims about who's more likely to win. It's about the odds.

In fact, I rarely bet for the favourite as people tend to be biased towards betting on it.

Bleh

I will follow Palynka's heads up and bet always against the Scottish teams
in the European scene. They're so pumped up the stakes despite their
repeated defeats that it's good business.

Especially if the first CL matchday is against a non-top team. They have short memories. 😵

FC Porto were not there in 2002/2003 and won it in 2003/2004.

For example.

Wow, that was some quality display of footie by Bayern!

Who would have thought that idiot of Van Gaal can make them play?

Change that goalkeeper and bring again Lucho and Lisandro and maybe then we can talk about it.
