Oh dear.Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
We enter Week 11 of Champions League You Bet with just £3.75 in the kitty.
That's £3.75. Three hundred and seventy-five of your English pence.
We started off with £10 back in September, won £3.75 (ironically) in the first week and lost our £1 stake money every week since. The Champions League Final may yet arrive before we finally lose it all, but there's still time to win some money back for our chosen charity by taking part in this week's vote-off.
This Wednesday's main match (as far as we're concerned) is the semi-final second leg between Liverpool and Chelsea, so as usual, cast your eye over these three potential bets and ponder which one you'd bet £1 on if you had to...
Bet A
Liverpool to win
Potential winnings: £3.60
Bet B
Didier Drogba to score first
Potential winnings: £7.00
Bet C
Steven Gerrard to score first
Potential winnings: £11.00
THE VOTING PERIOD FOR WEEK 11 OF 'CHAMPIONS LEAGUE YOU BET' IS NOW OVER.
Thanks to everyone who voted this time around. The appeal of a simple 'who do you think will win' bet was obviously right up your street this week, as the winning option was Bet A with 60% of your votes.
That means we'll be hoping for Liverpool to beat Chelsea in today's match, and let's face it, with Liverpool's form in Europe you wouldn't bet against it. Well, 40% of you did, but that's beside the point.
Fingers crossed then, ladies and gentlemen, and let's hope we can prize £3.60 from the tight grip of our chosen bookmaker this week...
I would say Michael Ballack to score or there will be less than 3 goals or something like that...
ReplyDeleteReckon Steven Gerrard for the first goal is a good bet myself, with a nice chance for you to get back into the profit.
ReplyDeleteThe lad always seems to score the important goals for the Reds, and his new position is really attack-minded. He always gets at least some half chances.
Also, with the game probably being a tight one, the fact that Gerrars will be on Liverpools free-kicks and penalties could prove to be vital!
Gerrard to score the LAST goal would also be a good shout!
I'd say both of your suggestions are quite likely, bvborussia. How do you see the game panning out?
ReplyDeleteThe voting isn't going too well in favour of Gerrard, football bet man! Always a chance of him scoring though, as you say. As a West Ham fan, I still have the mental scars from what he did to us in the 2006 FA Cup Final... :(
close game...
ReplyDeleteit is not possibile to say who will go through.perhaps there will be a luck shot like yesterday (gerrard is a candidate)...
but i think ballack will make the difference.in my opinion he is underrated.in important games he is able to score by a header even against a good defending team.that kind of player was missing for barcelona in both legs.
my prediction:
1:0 Gerrard 18th minute
1:1 Ballack 74th minute
extra time
2:1 Riise (header) 110th minute
Oh well, at least some of you got it right by voting for Bet B... :)
