Greek Basketball Playoffs: 3-4 April

[IsovitisGR]

Odds from Ladbrokes:

Olympiakos-Panathinaikos 1.61 15.00 2.30
Olympiakos(-4)-Panathinaikos 1.90 15.00 1.90
Aris-Marousi 1.44 17.00 2.70
Aris(-5)-Marousi 1.90 15.00 1.90


The second match between the four teams. Olympiakos was really hard for Panathinaikos to beat in the first game. The second game is expected to be a point to point match so everything might happen. I strongly believe though that Olympiakos will take this with the help of their fans too. After all as I have said the REDS are totally different team in front of their fans.

On the other game I believe that Aris will want to give an answer to their bad first game against Marousi. Aris fans are really "hot" and I think that Aris will take easily what they want in that game.

So my prop is a combo of Olympiakos@1.61 and Aris(-5)@1.90 which gives us an odd of 1.60x1.90=3.06 Not bad imo and very good chances to come true! 7/10 then.

P.S. Aris vs. Marousi is on 3/6 at 17:00(UK Time) and Olympiakos vs. Panathinaikos is on 4/6 at 16:00(UK Time)

i think both games are no bet for me and i'll tell you why. everybody said before first games that Panathinaikos and Aris will be fresh cause they played 3 games in the semifinals and Olympiakos and Marousi 5 games.IMO the truth is somewhere in the middle.In these first games the teams who played 5 games were more ready for the finals but i really believe that they ll getting tired game after game.So, i think that Marousi will try to win the second game in Salonika, if they don't manage to do that i'll more and more on Aris in every game after the second.Marousi is a very good team but they don't have depth on bench.
On the other hand Panathinaikos was influenced after so many days without games.Eventhough is the better side and he will be the champion.I' ll wait to see the second game, i really don't know what will happen but i'll be on Panathinaikos in the next games because they have 12 great players and with a couple of games on their feet they will be better and better.

Still on fire I see Iso. Great run on the greek stuff you are having

[nasos]

It's Aris-Marousi 84-54 of course. Great job Iso!

[IsovitisGR]

Yes Nasos, my mistake! Thnx guys!

Let's hope Olympiakos will do the job today (even if I am Panathinaikos' fan!) so that this final will be interesting and not boring as the previous years for my team!

Cheers my Greek friends, Iso u're in great run, keep on going
I was on Aris with medium+ bet, I've got in my local 1.65 (in case of X bet is lost).Handi moved from -4.5 to -7.5 before kick off. And I was so relaxed from first half . Aris will be third

As for today game I dont trust Oly with these odds. 1.61 its a 62%. With home crowd I'll give for Reds 55-57%. So I'll stay away from ML. It will be close game so +4.5 is beter for me. Best bet for me is over 156.5 @1.90 sportingbet.
