I can't brag too much about my predictions of an all Madrid final (first explained in detail on April 12th ) as I have not profited hugely from both Madrid clubs emerging victorious this week. Indeed, while i did predict the make up of the final, the manner of both second legs was hugely surprising and now we have a final that marks a historical first.
Now we are down to 2 sides, from the same country and for the first time in European Cup or Champions League history, we have 2 teams from the same city. The Barcelona faithful are understandably choking on their chorizo at the prospect. It would appear most Catalans will be busy on May 24th and I don't imagine the Barcelona bars will be jumping for this particular event. The manner of tonight's result would have stumped most with plenty of others backing the on form Chelsea and under 2.5 goals which while expected, was not part of my only big bet for the day. It was however a big surprise to see BTTS inside 45 minutes and over 3.5 goals. In the end, I should have gone for Diego Costa anytime rather than first goalscorer but who would have expected Atletico to score 3? While I did bet on both sides to qualify, I did not bet with full conviction as both ties were so evenly poised but like I said in my previous post, I could not ignore my gut feeling on these games and so it proved. It's been a quiet week for the bets but we have emerged 30 euros in profit over the last 2 days and any profit is not to be sniffed at. In hindsight, I should have applied more conviction to my predictions for the classic final but my main focus will be on the weekend's action and I cannot be too disappointed. Here are my results from tonight's bets. BET 1) STAKE 55 EUROS Atletico Madrid to qualify - 10/11 Winner returned 105 Euros BET 2) STAKE 10 EUROS Diego Costa to score first goal - 11/2 Lost BET 3) STAKE 10 EUROS Atletico to win 1.0 - 6/1 Lost Total Staked - 75 Total Returned 105 Results from week so far Total Staked - 253 Total Returned - 283 Comments are closed.
