I'm looking at my ridiculous Champions League Accumulator. It could return £1591, so I don't want it going south.
GOLD- Result is in. GREEN - It's looking good. RED - Why are you doing this to me?!?
Group A
Real Madrid to qualify
Group B
Manchester United to qualify
Group C
Atletico Madrid to win
Group D
Emirates Marketing Project to qualify
Group E
Barcelona to win
Group F
Bayern to win
Group H
Valencia to Qualify
I am looking at hedging the bet as much as I can. If I put a few smaller bets here and there on results that could go against me, then at least I'd still have some cash to play with in the next round.
United- I feel they'll qualify with a win against PSV on Wednesday, PSV should be effectively 'cut adrift' and unable to finish above them. I will not put any bets on this group now, I will wait for the games on Tuesday to be played first.
Atletico- Benfica are in the driving seat to win the group, with 2 points advantage over Atletico. Though Benfica have a tough game away to Astana on Wednesday I can see it coming down to the last game between Atletico and Benfica. This is the group I'm most worried by. On Tuesday Benfica play away in Astana at 3pm. I will bet ~£50 on Benfica winning, hoping they will drop points. Winning this bet would only give me £83 but I would bet that £83 on 'Galatasaray or Draw' in the Atletico game. Should Atletico not win I will have £282, my accumulator will be over and I'll use the £282 to bet on the round of 16. Should Benfica draw or lose in Astana, I will watch Atletico v Galatasary and just try and enjoy it.
Valencia - Facing a tough away game against Zenit on Tuesday, while Gent are away at Lyon. Zenit have qualified, so it's between Gent and Valencia for second. I am thinking to bet ~£30 on Gent to qualify. This would return me £113. Zenit v Valencia is the early kick off so I think I will hold off betting until I know the outcome.
So I'd be using about £80 to hedge the accumulator, if United let me down though I could still lose the whole lot. Which I guess I must accept.
