Dinamo Moscow v Trentino

Champions League Volleyball here as a little variation from the tennis!

Dinamo lead 2-1 in sets and are 13-9 up in the 4th when I get on at 1.10.

I do hope that moving away from the tennis will not be my downfall!!

At 14-11 I'm taking the guaranteed green at 1.06 thankyou. £23.38 on both!

Dinamo Win 3-1
Profit: £23.38

Pineto v Forli

Another dabble on the Volleyball. This time it's Italian Men's.

Forli are 2 sets to 0 up and lead 5-3 in the 3rd when I get on at 1.10. Hope this is finished in three as the liquidity is shocking so I wouldn't like to have to think about trading out!!

Even green of £10.56 @ 1.02 when Forli lead 16-11 in the 3rd.

Forli Win 3-0
Profit: £10.56

Panellinios v Iraklis

Back to the Greek men's volleyball as the over 1.5 goals bet I wanted in the Brugge match has landed already and I missed it as my dear wife was actually wanting some attention from me!!!  Outrageous! ;-)

Got on Iraklis at 1.2 when 1-1 in sets and they are leading in the 3rd.
This match has been a bit up and down, especially this set. Panellinos opened up an 8-1 lead then a 16-11 lead but Iraklis take it 17-25!! :o

Odds are still 1.20 despite them sealing the set. Hope they can finish it this set then.

And out at 1.03 when the score was 9-13 in the 4th set. £17.10 on both

Iraklis win 3-1
Profit: £17.09

AEK v AO Kifisias

Another day another Volleyball match. Greek Men's volleyball today!

Backed AEK when they had won the 1st set 25-18 @ 1.10. Hoping they continue their dominance.

AEK easily winning the 2nd! Score is 20-13 when I decide to get out at 1.02 for even green. You never know!! ;-) Only £50 matched so far though.

All taken at the end of the 2nd as AEK take it 25-16. £6.84 on both.

AEK Win 3-0
Profit: £6.84

Volero Zurich v TVC Amstelveen

Women's Volleyball from the The Top Volley 2009 again.

Got on with Zurich 14-11 up in the decider. A bit nervy as the score went to 14-13 but they won in the end.

Only got odds of 1.03 but a win is a win.

Profit: £1.72

Metal Galati v Bank BPS Fakro Muszyna

Ladies Volleyball from the Top Volley International 2009.

By the way I am effectively starting my 2010 campaign here today after a nice few days off over Christmas.

I got on Fakro when the score was 1-1 in sets and they had a slight lead early in the third @ 1.40.

Held my nerve through that set as they kept their noses in front all the way through despite trading higher to eventually take it 25-19.

At that stage 1.15 was enough for me to take a locked in profit and walk away.

£10.35 on both.

Metal Galati have taken the 4th set to level it at 2-2. Always happy when that happens after I green out!

Profit: £10.35

Zenit Kazan v CSKA Sofia

Kazan were 1.06 before the start so I was expecting it to be a landslide win. However CSKA took the first set and Kazan took the second. Decided to get on early in the third with Kazan leading 8-7.

Now to find a Christmas link!!

14-9 up now in the 3rd and I'm really struggling to get out of this nobody wants to match my bet!!
Hmmm back to 15-14 now I do hope lack of liquidity comes back to bite me on the bum!!

Well that's the set and I still have half my stake not layed off! Need the first couple of points in the 4th for it to be taken I guess!

Finally green at 5-3 in the 4th but not even green yet!
Moved the last bit up to 1.09 to even it out.
Now £63.73 on Both

Kazan Win 3-1
Profit: £63.73





Not sure what happened here? I did write up what the link was but my edit seems to have vanished! The only thing I could find is that Sofia is twinned with BRUSSELS. Sorry Rev didn't use the Anderlecht tip!

Ceske Budejovice v Dinamo Moscow

Not sure of any links to Christmas but lumped on anyway Moscow 10-4 up in third set so on at 1.07

Dinamo take the 3rd set comfortably. Let's hope they can do the same in the 4th. Still struggling to associate it with anything from the list though!

Hmmm One of the Moscow players has the first name Semen but Virgin isn't on the list!!

I'm out at 1.02 for £27.11 on both.

Moscow Won 3-1
Profit: £27.11

Found a link to frost even though it's not on the list!

Finally got one. Beer is alcohol which is definitely on the list. This is Volleyball Jargon!

Foinikas Syrou v EA Patron

Struggling to find anything that takes my fancy I stumbled across this. It's Greek Volleyball by the way! :-)

The Pre-match favourites are 1.06 after winning the 1st set so it must be a guaranteed winner!! All in!! :-)

By the way I know the picture isn't of Greek Men's Volleyball but I like it!

Hmm maybe a bit rash with that bet!! Patron are losing 14-9 in the second. I really hope I do not have to start thinking about trading out of this!!
20-14 now! Getting stuffed this set !!! And I've got no stream!!
21-14 to 21-18 is a bit better but a bit late I think! :-( There's the 2nd set 25-19. Need a good strong start now in the 3rd!
I do love a nice quick and easy trade on these minority sports!

That's a better set! Lead from the start and Patron take it 25-22 Now an early lead in the 4th please!

I can't believe I've wasted an hour already and counting on this match! :o
6-3 is not the start I was looking for! Get a grip!!!

FFS they get it back to 9-8 then proceed to go to 13-8!! 1.06 Favourites after the 1st set??? You're Havin' a laugh! ;) Who would back that??? :-(

18-16 c'mon close that gap!!
18-17 and another?? No! 19-17 they just can't string enough points together!
19-18 This time? YES 19-19 now can they edge ahead? 20-19 :-( gotta stay with them at least!
20-20 c'mon take the lead for the 1st time?? Nope... 21-20. Looking ropey!
21-21 This time? Yes 21-22 take another!! 21-23 this one for 3 MP's!! Pfft 22-23 c'mon!!!
22-24 2 MP's Take It!!!!

YESSS

Patron win 3-1
Profit: £5.71 (how embarrassing!)
