@Akiva-Anderson Nice!
Pre match I’m thinking O1.5 and O2.5 on the following games:
Villa v Celtic
Brest v R Madrid
Zagreb v Milan
Lille v FeyenoordI did look at the stuttgart game, but nervous that both teams go through with a draw and never keen on those situations.
Also tempted to lay Liverpool on match odds after seeing team news.
SHG opportunities in a lot of games too depending on state of play.
Only games 100% off the table are the Arsenal, Leipzig and Young boys games in my thinking!

My picks for the Champions League tonight:
Barcelona v Atalanta (Barca to win, Over 1.5 goals)
Aston Villa v Celtic (Villa to win, Over 1.5 goals*)
Stuttgart v PSG (Over 1.5 goals)
Lille v Feyenoord (Over 1.5 goals)
*The Over 1.5 goal odds for the Aston Villa v Celtic match are appalling considering both haven't scored many in the Champions League, but I still think Over 1.5 will come in

I notice Maccabi Haifa game was suspended due to crowd trouble, had a few filters that came up on
Yes, Maccabi Haifa are my Israeli team. Police couldn't guarantee the players safety

anyone tried Deepseek yet? @Akiva-Anderson Im glancing in your direction
Not yet! I will be checking it out though. Perplexity and Grok are my favourites so far. What are yours?
-
@Tony-Hastie Will definitely be checking this out. Will probably install it locally though for the least CCP censorship as possible!

@Mark-Maguire I find that too, Sunday has always been my favourite day for football betting and trading
-
@Martin Normally its Saturday Tricky, Sunday Easy, this time it was Saturday easy, Sunday great until the evening fixtures

@Shannon-Townsend that's great to hear, have been following that thread with interest!
-
@Richard-Latimer I took Richard's idea and am also posting up my new overs trades on my page... I also enjoy checking the forum although it is the software I am here for and at the minute that is starting to pay dividend.

@Martin Pretty flat over the weekend Martin, but not as flat as the forum. This is a major part of why I am here, learning from others and seeing what everyone is up to. Sad that this once-buzzing forum seems to have dropped away. Not sure why it has happened this way.
agree, it seems to mainly be because most members just simply do not use the forum, they are here for the software and the forum is just an added bonus.
I'm open to idea on how to invigorate the place!
We are starting a football challenge soon so hopefully that will help, if you want it to be livelier it's up to us all to contribute.

@Alastair-Todd It is a shame for sure. I'm posting all my stuff in my thread so don't want to duplicate but at one point there was so much info being swapped back and forth.

I am only 3 months in, I have 3 test strategies, one which is showing signs of promise 143 matches into testing, one is looking too good to be true but only 22 matches in 3 months, and one other that I am struggling with because I need to be present and the matches seem to be outside of the times I can be present so it might have to go.
At the moment I love goals and am not keen on laying but I guess that's not unusual for a newbie
I also would love to hear what people are up, loving it so far.
