No matter Almeria best home record in Secunda can not back them with this line up, even thinking to opose them

In Secunda there isn`t much interesting bets beside already mentioned Albacete.........

Almeria-Murcia
With those players on the field i would prefer to go with over instead of home win.

Murcia-Real
Motivation could be decisive in this game i fancy Real at those odds but I’m already on over too....

Alaves v Valladolid
This game is latter then Real so if Real lose the game everything is possible, big no bet

Hercules v Lorca
Small bet on Lorca just for fun

Castellon v Ponferradina
Castellon is great form ,Ponferradina beside the fact that they aren`t relegated yet and they need points i think they are going to have big problems in this game.


From Secunda -playoffs i would go with couple of bets ,beside the fact that i don`t know much about this teams....

Cordoba, Palencia and Racing Ferrol are my picks.

Firstly I wouldn't take too much notice of the starting 11 Marca announce. It's their guess, nothing more, and their preview doesn't seem overly reliable seeing as it claims Mané is back available, whereas the official Almeria website says he's left out.

In any case, with regard to Marca's predicted line-up, even if that is the one they go with, it doesn't look any weaker than the one which beat Elche last week - the only changes would be De Palmas (D, 4 played) in for the suspended Mairata (D, 9 played) and Carlos Garcia (D, 30 played) in for the injured Cabrera (M, 29 played). My guess would be that Marca have just taken last week's starting lineup and made the two enforced changes. However, last week, a 6 point gap to Valladolid was looking pretty big. Now that it's down to 3, the title is within their reach, and I'd be very surprised if they fielded a weakened side today. Westerveld, Bruno, Corona, Crusat and Michel are all included in the squad, and I'd be surprised to see any more than 3 of them left on the bench.

Igor, for the Segunda B play-offs, I was actually considering going against Cordoba (although I've now decided to leave all those games alone). They ended the season in poor form, just 2 wins from their last 9, and they're currently on a run of 3 straight defeats.

Almeria is a very very strong teams at home , no matter with the missing players but we should think that Almeria going to race the titel and they will do the best to win ( i think Almeria win by 2 or 3 goals )

Almeria on fire , best form , race the titel , we can say that Almeria hv more reason than Malaga to win

Almeria win easy full confident
Over 2.5 confident

[junior98]

dont even think about it just back on Almeria sell everything you have

[Galilee]

Junior98 I hate to tell people what to do but I will make an exception in this case. Rcgills' reply post to a perfectly valid objection by voja75 is the perfect example of what a post should be like.

Yours on the other hand is not very helpful for people trying to make up their minds on whether to take a bet or not. First post is just repeating arguments already made, second post may be considered by some people funny, but I have to underline that this is not a chatting forum.

By the way, good luck rc, followed all 3 of your picks.

[junior98]

stay cool man , dont be so seriously we'll see tonite

[Galilee]

There is nothing to see mate. You miss the whole point here. It is not about the result and as I already mentioned I am on Almeria as well so I want them to win as much as you do.

The whole point is that the Spanish thread in the TDP is one of the best threads in any betting forum and thanks mainly to rc and igor it's as good as it gets in betting forums. Your comment was just not helpful in that direction.

I am cool and the reason that I have to be serious is because betting is about money and sometimes loads of money so the better a thread is, the more chance you've got to win the lot. I wish you don't take my remarks pesonnally and not taking a defensive stand here. Let's just say that it is a general comment and your post is just an example. I also wish you consider what I am saying.

Sorry for the off topic guys.

[rcgills]

No worries for going off-topic, Galilee. A very diplomatically made point

Good luck to everyone with their picks tonight

[rcgills]

Not sure what's going on, but Almeria are now out to 2.4 on Betfair Trying to find out team news without much luck, but to be honest I can't imagine the price drift is anything to do with that - 1.8 from yesterday was already a pretty big price IMO, and was probably based in part on people expecting Almeria to field a weakened team. Am torn between panicking or adding another couple of points. Sod it, in for a penny and all that, another 2pts at 2.38.

[MickeyPaul]

Well I'm needing some excitement so I'm joining you fellas on Almeria. I've taken the 2.38 @ betfair

Great work fellas and good luck.

[rcgills]

Bollocks, think we can give the Almeria one up for dead. 2-0 down just before half-time and being booed by their fans, apparently

[jackierubberleg]

anyone got any idea why Almeria are getting shafted?. Most peoples banker I think.

[rcgills]

Not sure, Jackie. Something strange going on though, and I'd guess some people must've got wind of it going by the drift in price in the few hours before kick off.

I did have my suspicions before the kick off, unfortunatley I had placed ths bet by then. What you got to do to get a straight game.
