[TheSituation]

Absolutely brilliant from Arsenal, that second half performance totally blew Barca away. Wilshere is amazing.

Good performance from Arsenal tonight.

You still have to fancy Barcelona to make the quarter finals, but it makes the second leg a bit more interesting than the foregone conclusion many were predicting before tonight.

What are the chances that the UEFA Champions League Final at Wembley in May will be contested by two teams who's homes are a little more than a goal kick away from the Stadium?

Based on one leg in the Round of 16?

0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance.

Actually, a Spurs v Arsenal UEFA Champions League Final is being quoted at 28-1.

Spurs v Manchester United is the same odds.

Spurs v Chelsea is 24-1.

What happened? Replay of the best team in the world with best manager evah v a mediocre greek team with a dodgy pitch and a paid-off ref?

If bookies offering 24 or 28/1 then the chance of those things happening is about 2 or 3 % each taking into account their profit margin.

Brilliant game.

the turning point - Barca sticking and settling for a 1-0, foot off the gas, invited Arsenal on second half and hardly made an attempt to really go for a second goal, they got punished.

i expect barca to go through, but who knows which Arsenal will turn up, they took the lead last time, then Messi decided to bag a hat-trick in 40 minutes.

Fair play to the Gooners. Barca could have been out of sight but they hung in there and played some great stuff. Wilshere is a truly special player.

Hope to god they put Barca out in the next leg.

Re: Arsenal vs Barcelona, Take 2

Well football is the only thing I bet on, don't know enough about horse racing or other sports to stand a chance, plus it gives an exciting 90 minutes. I rarely go for odds of 16/1, in fact I generally try and stay away from accumulators. Made some tidy money from lower leagues though, odds can sometimes be way off. Don't usually bet that big money but I was convinced about several things this weekend. Unfortunately I was well off the mark.

Never bet on accumulators as winning on them is so rare especially as you add more teams to the bet.

If you want to make money then become the bookie and lay bets. Dont often see a poor bookie.

So many of these bets come in. If one goes against you then you may have to pay out a bit but overall you win.

Ive had some good wins this year.

I made money on England not to win the World cup as it was fcking inevitable.

Andy Murray not to win in the Aus open final for reasons stated above

Audley Harrison not to win in the Boxing v Haye

I layed Woods not to win in every Major last year as he was playing shite but odds were still way too short.

You can make money out of betting if you dont go chasing your losses and go chasing bigger wins.

If what you're saying is that you should bet favourites, then you're an idiot.
