Soccer betting

In short I lost a bet. The loser has to eat out one of the winner of the bet. Now it sounds childish and un lady like. But It’s real and I am scared as hell/ I’m not gay, not hungry for vagina. But I am not gonna forfeit a bet. Is there a way I can make this quick and act like it never happened. I have to do it for 10 minutes while my friends watch =(
Curious, but it seems gross

• Why don’t you just forfeit? You seriously need to. This is not a game. If you do it, you’ll end up regretting it later. Unless you want to do it, of course.
• well it has to last 10 mins i suppose if you wanna make her cum you.could suck her clit
• No you don’t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if they actually expect you to they are not friends! You may have been stupid enough to make a bet like that, but are your friends stupid enough to sexually harass you? Have you ever heard of rape. That is when someone is made to do sexual acts but does not consent to it. As stupid as it was to take the bet it would be way more stupid to actually do it if you don’t want to.

For past year, I was interesting in Martial Art and when I finally found my courage to ask my parents if I could to Karate, they said that I am not good at maths. So I studied 5 days straight for a Math test. I still didn’t get my results but I bet it’s not that good like A* or A.
My sister doesn’t find my interest in sports and fighting "smart". She is a maths, Science and English genius and I am good at sports, art and science. When it comes to maths, I just fall apart.
It is really important to me to do Karate and yet my parents and sister are against it. So I don’t have a lot to say unless I will just try even harder (I already try hard).
I am not bad at school at all: Maths 2nd set, English 1st set and Science 2nd set and straight A’s and A*. So I can’t see what my parents and sister are trying to do. I will not become like my older sister no matter how much they want it. I am only 14 years old and I want to have something interesting in my life, not sitting in my bedroom and do nothing. So what should I do so my parents will be happy and so will I ?
The only problem is that I am not good at maths. We have money, it’s just education that is bothering them.

Go out and try to earn money to pay for it yourself. It is expensive after all.

This could be an issue with money. Unless you know your parents are rich and can throw money around for this then that is one thing. But if they can then that is another issue. Perhaps its a morality issue, maybe they don’t want you to learn how to fight. You can argue it is self defense but there would be no point to this. You will just make circles.

So the last option is paying for it yourself. If your parents have no issue in this then by deduction the answer becomes clear. If it is okay for you to pay for it then it would not be a moral issue and could be a financial issue.

And if your parents don’t have to transport you either then even better.

I know it’s harsh to read this but it’s true. If they can’t be convinced to help you then you need to help yourself.

That all these people and all these teens who are going to see it this weekend , that they should all read the story called "The Raven" . I bet only a fraction have actually read the story..Its a disgrace.

I kind of agree. No one reads anymore. Why would they when they can go see the related movie?

I know. I wonder how many actually realized Brandon Lee was quoting that poem in the movie “The Crow”, which I bet is tons better.

First of all the movie The Raven isn’t based on the poem that being said More kids now a days should read books, they are so much richer and entertaining than movies,and thats coming from someone who didn’t start reading books for fun until his 20’s.Before seeing this people should brush up on as much of Edgar Allen Poe’s works as they can because quite a few are referenced in this movie which is about a killer who uses poes work as ideas for killing people.

Best Poe story-Tell Tale Heart IMHO

According to me the movie si not best so m not interested see this movie.

Sports betting sharps that follow the beautiful game of soccer will always look for the “group of death” in a major tournament, and at this summer’s European Championship, Denmark was very unlucky to land in a group with Germany, the Netherlands and Portugal. That is going to be their downfall, even though the Danes are a talented squad with plenty to look forward to.

Manager: Morton Olsen (since July 2000)
Best Euro Finish: Champions (1992)
Euro Cup Betting Odds: +1200 to win Group B, +8000 to win Euro 2012

Offense

The Danes scored 15 goals in eight games on their way to the top of Group H, and the strike pairing of Dennis Rommedahl and Nicklas Bendter can be a handful for anyone, especially Rommedahl, who isn’t just a finisher, but he can set up goals as well. Bendter famously said that he was one of the best strikers in the world and has been in the news more for his headlines than his scoring prowess, and this would be the perfect time for the 24-year-old to prove it as this could be Rommedahl’s last tournament for his country. Michael Krohn-Delhi can also put the ball in the back in the net as well for the Danes.

However, there will also be a lot of attention on Christian Eriksen, who is only 20, but many think he’ll be the one to propel Denmark’s soccer betting chances this summer. Eriksen is an attacking midfielder who was named the Danish Player of the Year in 2011 and it seems to be only a matter of time before he leaves Ajax for one of the European giants. This could be the tournament where Eriksen asserts himself as the leader of the Danish future.

Defense

But Denmark’s soccer betting odds in Poland and the Ukraine could very well depend on their defense, which allowed six goals in eight qualification games. Thomas Sorensen has been holding Stoke City up in the English Premier League and the 35-year-old keeper is still an excellent shot-stopper. Captain Daniel Agger has been in and out of the lineup both for his country and his club, Liverpool, but he appears to be healthy now and that’s a good thing for Sorensen as Agger is one of the best central defenders in England when he is at 100%. It appears as though Simon Kjaer has the pole position in slotting alongside Agger, while William Kvist plays the holding role in front of the defense.

On the outside, Lars Jacobsen is probably playing in his final international tournament at 32 years old, but he scored once in 2011 and can still do a job for the Red and Whites. Denmark is a disciplined squad who can keep their shape, and that is going to crucial to their chances this summer because of the group that they’re in.

Intangibles

Morten Olsen could be in his final tournament as the Danish manager and he would love to at least through the group stage, which they did in 2004, but Denmark didn’t even qualify for the Euros in 2008 and their World Cup track record under Olsen has been a mixed bag as well as they went to the round of 16 in 2002, didn’t qualify in 2006 and fell out in Round 1 in 2010. That he received such an awful group in what could be his swan song leading the Danish team is a tough break for Olsen.

But there is a solid combination of youth and experience throughout the Danish squad that could be confident after topping a group with Portugal, who they’ll see again this summer, and that could push them on in Poland and the Ukraine. But they need some fortune in order to make it to the knockout portion of Euro 2012, because even though they are talented, Denmark doesn’t have the talent of the Germans and the Dutch, and you could argue Portugal as well, despite what just happened in qualification.

How It Will Play Out

Soccer betting odds have the Danes at +1200 to win Group B, and +8000 to win the tournament for the first time since 1992, but winning the group shouldn’t even be their priority. In front of them, Denmark has a team that is favored to win the European Championship and romped through the World Cup in South Africa (Germany), the World Cup finalists (the Netherlands) and a team that has one of the top three players in the world in their squad (Portugal).

Denmark needs to play a perfect tournament just to get through the group stage, which is a shame because they would be able to really show what they have in another group, but Group B is too stacked. The Danes will need a few breaks to go their way to overcome the soccer betting odds this summer.

My new girlfriend invited me over to her apartments so we can cook. I told her i can’t cook so she’s gotta teach me one way or the other. She replied and said she’d cook for me.

We’re in our early 20’s and i’m willing to bet that everyone in that age should know the basic cooking essentials. But i don’t know anything about the difference between olive oil, cooking oil, sesame oil, etc. is there anything i should know?

Oh goodness…..

There’s a LOT to learn when it comes to real cooking.

I’d suggest you find a local college bookstore(might be able to get it online),buy the newest edition of “ON COOKING - A Textbook of Culinary Fundamentals”. I still have mine from school and use it as a reference. It has lots of instruction,recipes,cooking terms. There’s not enough room or time in the day for me to even cover the basics of real cooking. This is your best bet if you’re really wanting to learn!

My husband is almost 40 and can’t cook and I don’t know many guys that can so don’t feel alone.
Good for you for wanting to learn or at least wanting to please your gf. Its not that difficult just relax enjoy yourself and learn what you can from her most people learn from experience not from reading anything so good luck

soccer betting sharps have to be realistic about a team’s chances heading into any major tournament, and if you’re going to wager on the Czech Republic when the European Championship kicks off in June, their odds to win their group are much more attractive (and attainable) than to win the entire tournament. However, this is an intriguing team that you should keep an eye on this summer.

Manager: Michal Bilek (since October 2009)
Best Euro Finish: Second place, 1996
Soccer Betting Odds: +350 to win Group A, +5000 to win Euro 2012

Offense

The Czechs shared a group with Spain, and it isn’t fair to compare this team to the defending Euro and World Cup champions, but Spain scored 26 goals in eight games; the Czechs scored 12 in the same amount. Defender Michal Kadlec led the team in 2011 with four goals in seven games, and while it’s always good to get goals from your defense, it’s not always good when they lead the team. Jan Rezek scored twice in four games in 2011, and the Czechs may need him to keep it up if they can’t get goals from Milan Baros, who scored once in five games last year and even though it seems like he has been around forever with 87 national appearances (scoring 40 goals), he is still only 30 years old.

But the key to it all could be captain Tomas Rosicky, whose job is to create for the rest of his teammates and he has actually picked up his play later in the season with his club, Arsenal. Rosicky is a very talented player with 20 goals in 85 appearances, but he has been hurt a lot over the last couple years and that sapped some of his confidence; if Rosicky comes into Euro 2012 with a full head of steam, it can only help the Czechs.

Defense

This group will be the focus of the Czechs’ soccer betting chances in Poland and the Ukraine this summer, and it is powered by the experience of keeper Petr Cech, who is still one of the top shot-stoppers in the world and even though he has had some shaky moments at Chelsea this season, Cech usually comes up big for his national team. Kadlec and Tomas Sivok are their most experienced defenders and Sivok even added a goal to go with Kadlec’s four, so the Czechs could be a problem from set pieces for the opposition.

Sivok can also slot in as the holding midfielder when he isn’t patrolling the heart of the defense with Roman Hubnik, and these two are going to play a huge part in clearing the box out for Cech. However, the Czechs will also need a solid tournament from whoever manager Michal Bilek decides to put in front of the back four; it’ll likely be Petr Jiracek, who scored the match winner in their playoff game against Montenegro.

Intangibles

After a slow start, the Czech side has started to come together under Bilek, who had 11 goals in 32 appearances for the old Czechoslovakian team and none in three games after the split. He has a relatively young team and even Rosicky is only 31; as was stated before, Baros is 30, while Cech is 29, and Sivok, at 28, is the oldest defender in the side. Experience could be an issue, but the Czechs have it in the right places and the group that was the question mark heading into the qualification, the defense, has actually been the best on the team.

The Czechs were also a bit lucky to land in a group with Russia, Poland and Greece, all teams that they can beat, and that should perk up their spirits as they prepare for the European Championship.

How It Will Play Out

Soccer betting odds have the Czechs at +350 to come out on top in Group A, and +5000 to win the tournament, which shouldn’t be an option at this time. Right now, the Czechs just have to aim to get to the knockout stage and as was said before, they have a good chance with the group that they’re in. They just need to get a few more goals from their strikers and they could be a challenger, but right now, don’t risk your money betting on their chances to win the tournament; you could definitely take a chance on the Czech Republic’s group-winning 2012 Euro Cup betting odds.

• A -150 favorite isn’t sh*t. You are not a gambler are you?

  @Zombie- Question for the gambling expert; Does Vegas make money by making correct predictions or by splitting the betting public evenly, thus taking the risk away from the house by collecting juice?

  @Zombie- That would be an inncorrect assumption. Professional gamblers routinely win substantial amounts of money with a strategy that only requires them to win 52-54% of their bets. Vegas odds makers mirror those results plus or minus 3%. If you will take a bet at 1000 to 1 on Romney I will gladly let you book mine.

• When was the money line posted? Because Romney at +1000 is obviously the best bet.
• geez, they don’t know what they’re doing… they just built HUGE BUILDINGS and make millions of dollars a year taking bets… vegas is clueless.. .lol

  EDIT: lol… wow cons sure are calling names…

  EDIT: even if vegas is just trying to split the bet, they are trying to make somewhat accurate predictions to get the bet split? right?

• You are an abject moron.

  The purpose of the line is to convince people to bet both ways. If too many people are betting one way, they change the line to get more betters the toher way. Gambling houses and bookies make oney on the vig, you idiot. They are like stock brokers, they take their percentage of every bet, winning and losing. It is in their best interests to equalize the betters for Obama and Romney.

  That line is statistically insignicicant, you choad.

• put your money up
• Go ahead and put everything you have on it.

When it comes to Euro Cup betting odds for the European Championships this summer, Croatia is a mid-pack team for good reason, and they’re going to have a difficult time just making it out of their group. However, they have the tools to do so and once you get to the quarterfinals and start playing elimination games, anything can happen and Croatia is a smart team that won’t beat themselves. If they can just get out of their group, don’t count out the Croatians to go all the way.

Manager: Slaven Bilic (since July 2006)
Best Euro Finish: Quarterfinals (1996, 2008)
Soccer Betting Odds: +700 to win Group C, +4000 to win Euro 2012

Offense

The Blazers scored the most goals in their qualification group with 18 in 10 games, and they got three each from Eduardo and Mario Mandzukic in seven games in 2011. Those strikers will be important, but the heart of the Croatia attack is midfielder Luka Modric, who pulled the strings for Tottenham in England earlier in the season, but he has since fallen off the radar with a number of lackluster performances and Bilic will need him to find his form or else it could be an early exit. Modric’s play is even more important as Tottenham teammate Niko Kranjcar could miss the tournament because of a knee injury. Also, captain and fellow midfielder Darijo Srna can start an attack and he led the team with five assists; it’s incredible that the Shakhtar Donetsk captain isn’t playing for a bigger club and he is only turning 30 on May 1st.

Defense

Srna is also important to a defense that will be the crucial element to their soccer betting chances, as Croatia allowed just seven goals in their 10 matches; he protects the defense and because of his excellent passing ability, Srna doesn’t put his back four in a tough position. Stipe Pletikosa is the main man in goal for Croatia, while his most experienced defenders are Josip Simunic, Vedran Corluka and Danijel Pranjic; the latter two play in Germany. Their performance in qualification has to be taken with a grain of salt when you look at who they were facing in their group; Greece, Israel, Latvia, Georgia and Malta, none of which will even be confused with a Spain. But it was a solid foundation and provides Bilic with a glimpse of what his defenders can do. They’ll need to raise their game even further when they reach the tournament in Poland and the Ukraine.

Intangibles

The Croatians have won 40 and drawn 13 of 59 games under Bilic, who is regarded as one of the top managers in the world and one that can get the best out of his players. The Croats are very disciplined under Bilic and they don’t do a lot to beat themselves, which is going to be crucial at Euro 2012 just to get out of a difficult group stage. From top to bottom, Bilic may not have as much talent as other teams, but he puts his best players in positions to do well and that is all you can really ask of a good manager. Croatia failed to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa two years ago, and Bilic has them playing like a team that remembers that failure well.

How It Will Play Out

Soccer betting odds have Croatia as a +700 pick to win a Group C that includes the defending champions from Spain, as well as Italy and Ireland, and they’re rated at +4000 to win their first major tournament. Winning it all may prove to be a bit ambitious, but the Croatians definitely have enough to make it out of the group stages, which they have done twice in their three European Championship tournaments.

They’re not winning the group; Spain is far too good to allow that to happen, even if they don’t play their best. But Croatia can beat Italy and Ireland and that has to be their focus, just to make it to the next round and then, anything can happen. Croatia has to defend stoutly and take their chances when they come, especially against Italy, their biggest competition to get out of the group. We wouldn’t bet on Croatia to win their group, but they could be a dark horse to win the tournament after building some momentum, so consider their odds in your sports betting book.

Every two years, online betting sharps know they’re getting a major soccer competition and even though the Olympics will be held in London this summer, the European Championship will likely steal its thunder in the world of soccer. Germany fell a little short at the World Cup in 2012, but they’ll replace the team that knocked them out in South Africa with a massive win in July.

What: Soccer Betting
When: June 8th-July 1st, 2012
Where: Various stadiums between Poland and the Ukraine; final takes place in Kiev
Pick: Germany

The Favorites

Spain (+225) was always going to be the soccer betting favorites as the defending champions in not only the European competition, but they’re the World Cup champions as well. “La Roja” is powered by their Barcelona foundation led by Xavi in the middle of the field, and they’re solid at the back as well, but what about up front? Fernando Torres hasn’t shown much at Chelsea and David Villa has been out all season because of a broken leg. It could be time for Pedro to step up, although the transition began when he was named to the starting 11 in the semifinals and finals of the World Cup.

Germany (+300) wasn’t expected to challenge seriously in South Africa because of their age; this was one of the youngest German sides we’d ever seen in an international competition. But “The Team” may have been the most entertaining squad in the World Cup, where they finished third after losing to Spain in the semifinals and another meeting with the champions may be on the horizon. They have a fantastic midfield led by Bastian Schweinsteiger, experience up front and as always, the Germans are organized at the back. There are a few questions about goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, but he has a great team in front of him.

The Second Tier

The Netherlands (+700) will get an early chance to see how they match up with the soccer betting favorites as they’re in Group B with the Germans, and they didn’t fare well in their last meeting with Spain in the World Cup final, when they decided to play a more physical style (some would say dirty with examples to back it up) instead of the offensive football that they’re known for. Instead of trying to impose their will on Spain, Holland changed their style to suit Spain and it didn’t work out at all. There is still a lot of talent throughout the team, but their most important player may be striker Robin van Persie, who has shown for Arsenal that he is world class when he is healthy.

Oh, what to think about England (+850), who perennially disappoint their fans and they have been put in a tough position heading into this competition as Fabio Capello left the team due to media pressure, among other things. The Three Lions now don’t have a manager, which could either liberate the squad or blow up in their faces. Wayne Rooney leads the team from the front, but the back four is getting up there in age and the central pairing of Rio Ferdinand and John Terry have struggled in club play this season. They’ll be tested in a difficult group with France, Sweden and the Ukraine, one of the co-hosts.

The Darkhorses

Speaking of the French (+1300), they’ll come into this competition with a new regime after the disgrace in South Africa in which players revolted and didn’t go to training, and ended with Laurent Blanc replacing Raymond Domenech as manager. That means there are a lot of players who have hopes of breaking into the national-team picture and expectations shouldn’t be that high among “Les Bleus”.

The Italians (+1300) are also looking to spruce up their side after failing to get out of the group stages in South Africa, and they’re in the midst of injecting some young blood after years of riding a few certain players throughout all the major competitions.

However, Portugal (+1800) could be a team to watch as they feature Cristiano Ronaldo, who has had an amazing season with Real Madrid in La Liga, but he has never quite replicated the same form for his country. If he is scoring the way he has for the probable La Liga champions, Ronaldo could lead his country to their first major championship, although they‘re stuck in a group with Germany and the Netherlands.

How It Will Play Out

Spain had a nice run throughout the last four years, but a couple of vital cogs are getting a little older and aren’t at the height of their powers as they were over the last four years. The Netherlands constantly underachieve, as do England, Portugal is a one-man side and the Italians and French has some work to do.

That’s why it’s time for the Germans to grab the status of World Cup favorites by the throat by storming through the European Championships, and the scary part is, this nucleus is still getting better, which means they could dominate over the next decade. Take Germany with your sports betting pick for Euro 2012.

Euro 2012 Betting Pick: Germany

Hey everyone, so I’ve been asking like a gazillion prom questions, but this is my last one I swear.

I got my dress! It’s http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/juniors/dresses/party/PRD~1030864/Speechless+Rose+Dress.jsp

Basically I just wanted some feedback or suggestions on what accessories and/or shoes to go with it.
You probably don’t think it’s "prom worthy" or whatever, but I’m a sophomore and I don’t really want to spend a lot. So thanks in advance. I’m going with friends and I don’t really know what we’ll do… I bet my friend she’d get asked to dance, but who knows. Any ideas of fun things to do there?

• i love that dress
• Why wouldn’t it be “prom worthy”? All those Speechless dresses they have at Kohl’s are cute. You should wear simple accessories with it. No tiaras or anything like that. Other than dancing there’s not a darn thing to do at prom. To be honest it’s pretty boring. If you’ve been to other school dances like in middle school or whatever it’s basically the same thing, except people spend ridiculous amounts of money preparing for it.
• That dress is really pretty(: I would wear black flats or heels with it. But if you have heels/flats that match the flowers that would be better! Also for accessories, I suggest you wear a flower necklace to stick with the theme of flowers(: I hope this helps!
