Norway Cup 6/13

[allthethings]

No idea yet if my book will offer lines on these games...usually they avoid offering lines on the games where 9-1 is a possible score...but one general question: Does anyone take these games seriously in Norway? I did very well betting overs in the early rounds of the Svenska Cupen -- low-division home team comes out fired up, scores at least one, heavily favored away team realizes they have to actually show up, scores between 2 and 5 -- just wonder if this one tends to play out the same.

[Unbelievable]

Baerum - Ham Kam

I don't no how seriously these teams take the cup but considering the fact that both teams are not from Tippeligaen I think they are there really to compete. So I went and made this bet a bit blind cuz I think it's value to back the good form Ham Kam from Adeccoligaen against a team from lower levels... simple as that.

Ham Kam (-1.0) @1.65 (from Betsafe)

[Unbelievable]

I'm looking for bankers and accumulators. Here is the list of Norway Premier League teams vs lower league teams

A few factors to consider when backing stronger team on paper. Will they take this cup competition seriously? In the last round a Div 1 team got beaten by a team 2 league below. Odds for Div 1 team to win was at 1.04! and they lost...it seems that they are fighting for promotion to premier league this year so getting involve in more cup matches (which will eventually be won by premier league team which has more squad depth) is not necessary.

Relegation treathened team will also not want to get more injury in cup matches and might not be committed to win when playing away

Tonsberg FK - Sandefjord	Div 2.1	PL		5.22	3.74	1.53
Vard Haugesund - Start Kristiansand	Div 2.3	PL		13.1	7.12	1.11
KIL/Hemne - Rosenborg Trondheim	no data	PL		24.96	11.74	1.02
Kvik Halden FK - Lyn SFK	no data	PL		13.15	7.29	1.11
Sarpsborg FK - Fredrikstad	Div 2.1	PL		13.43	7.06	1.11
Volda TI - Aalesund	no data	PL		16.03	8.03	1.08

Any norweign friends would like to share team news on those PL team?

I'll try this one too, Ham-Kam are placed at 1st place in Adeccoligan, they have a great away record: 5 0 0 16-7, and as the cup is important in Norway they should have no problems to win vs Baerum, a div.2 team placed 11/14, with a couple of goals, I find 1.70 really good considering the class difference between these teams.
Ham-Kam -1 (EH) @ 1.70 (Nordicbet)

No frigin way Baerum 2-0 Ham Kam... just sums up my day in betting, going 0/4 so far

[allthethings]

I feel for you, even betting blind it's hard to pick against the one outright upset in regulation time.

Tail at your own risk, but check out the overs in Portugal-Netherlands starting in 25 minutes. See the U-21 thread...

Hey realy, what happen there, second team or what, I lost a loooot of money on that game!! Not lost my, how much I almost win :-)
