The first semi-final turned out to be a real cracker with both sides going for goals. Dinamo scored first and then sat back letting Shakhtar in for plenty of shoots on goal. Although I was sat with a potential £42 win if the score went 2-0, I decided to trade and recover my stake while making a very modest profit. As it happens I was right. Shakhtar scored and the game ran out 1-1 giving a nice payout on my cover bet Over 1.5 goals.

Today's In-Play football list is not very good and I can find no value other than Unirea Urziceni v Gloria Bistrita.

Heres' my bets for that match:

Fri 1st May
16:00 Unirea Urziceni v Gloria Bistrita

Unirea are 1.3 and Bistrita 11.2 when such a wide margin between odds occur there's usually plenty of goals. Therfore, I'm backing over 2.5 goals and a very small punt on Bistrita in the hope that they score first and then I can trade the much lower odds.

That's the plan... the game's just gone in-play.

1-0 at half time and then two late goals completed the bet 3-0 and a very close run thing too!

16:00 Brommapojkarna v Elfsborg
16:00 Kalmar FF v Hacken
16:45 GKS Belchatow v Polonia Bytom
17:00 Augsburg v 1860 Munich
17:00 H Rostock v Kaiserslautern
17:00 Wehen v Osnabruck
18:00 Hacettepe SK v Galatasaray

Backed Hacettepe with a low stake... just a hunch.
