<small>Turkey vs Belarus - European League - Pool B</small>
Sat 8/8	319 Turkey	<input id="editx" name="S1_4" size="4"> +1½ -135	<input id="editx" name="M1_4" size="4"> +155
1:30PM	320 Belarus	<input id="editx" name="S2_4" size="4"> -1½ +105	<input id="editx" name="M2_4" size="4"> -185

I thought maybe they got the teams mixed up, but I checked it at Pinny and they've got -176/+150.

Turkey won 4 matches in a row. Belarus lost 5 of their last 6 matches.

----
Also, Spain has lost 15 in a row ATS.... and favored by 7.5 > Italy.

Does this mean be a contrarian and take Belarus?

If this is a head scratch-er than the books must be telling us something. Problem is I have no clue what puff_>>

Don't know if that's what he meant, but yes, yes indeed.

You are both correct. Well, I mean to say that the situation was so strange (IMO) that the lines the book threw up ... that made me pull back... and when that happens you do an auto-flip and take the other side.

Sound stupid, right? But we been at this so long that that's the way it usually works....

........ OR!!! the line was just way off. And in this case, I think it was.

Turkey won the match SU. That would've been my original bet but I backed off and bet nothing.

Side note: Spain doesn't cover 15 games in a row (0-15), but today they covered. I teased Italy and took pts with Italy to get off the 7.5..... and got lucky and won. In all fairness to Italy, though, they were down by 2 in the 4th.... and I don't know what happened at the end of the game.
