can someone please explain what is going on here. This price is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion as they have won their last 3 on the spin , barca havent exactly been on fire (especially when messi isnt playing) Comparing these prices to my team(celtic) which is similar in terms of difference of quality, you would never get this price on the oppisite side, i even remember berwick rangers were only 16/1 to beat us

whats even more bizarre that barca can afford to lose the game and still qualify, with the possibility of losing players.

Surely when the favourite is only 1/6, the oppoisiton couldnt possibly be 24/1 ?? am I going mad?? very tempted to throw in arsenal to qualify as a double with the potential of 4k!!

It's about the same price as Bolton were to beat Man City.  Much lower than Blackburn at Man Utd.

Barca in good form at home (except for this weekend without Messi) and they are obviously going to prioritise the Champions League so I don't expect any slip ups.  As you say, they don't have to win so I wouldn't be backing them at short odds.

I might lay Barca and trade in play.   24/1 looks good to me. Happy

massio, I flagged this up on sunday, it does seem absolutely barmy, Ive got £1k on everything from 29 - 25 (to trade)and some crazy correct score prices for 2-2 upwards

thing is a)leverkusen manager says they are going for 2) 1st leg was very even and bl are in top form after beating bayern 2-0 on friday and 3) the biggest factor, Barca dont have to win

you look at a mediocre bilbao side 7.2 at utd on thursday in a game utd will probably think v important to win compared to this - well if you are a trador get stuck in, I think should be 14ish by ko and do checkout the correct scores - tho I have already done some serious nibbling at this 2-3, 3-2 3-3 etc

green army, its unbelievable value. Stevenage to beat spurs is 10/1 !   so comparing it to this, theres no way it can be ignored. Might have a punt on it tomorrow, i need some luck after losing my celtic 25k bet

careful you dont miss out, I got some 29 and now its 22 - and you can still get 20 on stevenage, but as you say if you can sort of compare spurs with barca (for a game they dont need to win) then should stevenage be a shorter price than leverkusen, err no

and on the spurs game grab the 30/1 on a 0-0,its too high and remember that was the score in the first game, so you can trade out before or during the game
