Place your bets: Finally, the Timbers have come back… to Jeld-Wen
Last week the only winning move was not to play. The Timbers couldn’t score and Marcelin didn’t get subbed in, so the house cleaned up. There will be a new bet this week, allowing you to bet against the Timbers. I don’t recommend it unless you want to have bad luck all week though, it’s like betting the Don’t Pass Line in craps.
Advice from the Gambling Insider
The Gambling Insider has been following the twitters and sent us these tips:
- Kalif is a can’t miss proposition this week, just like every other week. (from @PortlAndrew)
- Scouts at Jeld-Wen saw this top prospect on the field Thursday, might he be subbed in? (from @ShawnLevy)
- When considering the side bets, don’t forget the expanded capacity.

Side Bets
Timbers held scoreless: pays 3:1 and some really bad mojo

Timbers score in the 45′ or the 90′, pays 20:1

To clear things up, the 45′ or 90′ side bet means you are betting on both. So basically any extra time goal will count.

@DemonJuice has $20 on a Kenny Cooper hat trick. Pays 250:1
$5 Cooper Hat trick
$5 Jewsbury
$10 Defense
Brilliant! Can I place the full monty an own goal off the board?
If not, I’ll take a ten spot on the D scoring.
Fiver on the over potty time.
Fiver for goal at the 90.
You can bet on “the field”, which includes own goals. I’ll put you down for that.
$20 on Alhassan again. HOW CAN I LOSE?!
$5 on Field
$5 on Cooper
$10 on Dike
$5 on 2 mins or less wait
The Alhassan assist’s gotta count for something. right?
Bathroom wait time was 9:32, I even took a screen shot, so the over definitely wins. The line was out to the middle of the concourse (near 105). Full results soon.
@Andrew Nope, the assist didn’t pay out, but I’ll give you a line for that next game.
House didn’t do so hot this week, things might have to tighten up next match.
The following bets paid out:
Cooper 6:1
Nagbe 13:1
Chara 15:1
Bathroom wait at half-time, over 3 minutes, pays 3:1
Balances:
@themikedonovan $155
Greener (let’s see if he lets this one ride) $114
Hrimville $75
Kejsare $80
Alex $75
Jeff $66
Clifford (this guy likes to make me do lots of math) $60

AugustePDX $45

Sweet! I’m up to $66! Looking forward to Wednesday’s line. Will there also be a line for Thursday’s US Womens friendly?
