[WTS] Auction Leftovers #6
Hello again, and good morning! This listing is for items that did not sell during the January 17 Auction, so you can buy anything you want right here and right now - no buyer's premiums, no additional fees. *FREE shipping for any order over $100. *All items priced at $1 are now .75 each Each lot was individually imaged (front and back) for the auction - so the easiest way for you to see exactly what you're buying is to visit the auction link (the auction is over, so I'm not advertising anything different or advertising an upcoming auction) - so here that is: https://www.invaluable.com/catalog/2qx7j50tq0?size=50&page=1&categories=&sort= Here is the required "prove you still have the stuff" photo with the username card and today's date: PHOTO Payment: PayPal only. I do not have Venmo/Zello/Bitcoin or any other form of digital payment at this time. No notes if using PPFF, please. (Thank you.) If you choose to use PPFF, please make sure to send me your shipping address here as it won't automatically load with your payment. Shipping: I will charge you what it costs me for the USPS label rounded up to the nearest dollar. For First Class that is usually $4, for USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Small Box it will be $9. I will get you a tracking number right after payment is received and will get your package scanned into the USPS system within 24 hours of receipt of payment. I will offer "Risky Shipping" (via stamped greeting card)at my discretionfor $1 - for single, small coins ONLY.NOTE: These prices are for Continental US shipping only - if you live outside the continental US, shipping will be more expensive. I am still happy to do it under the same rules as above, but just keep in mind it's going to cost more. What do YOU need to do to buy coins from this group: send me a list of which lots you want (for example, I want to buy lots # 51, 52, 53, 54, 55) and I will send you a total. There are too many coins here (plus there are duplicates) so I cannot look up the coins you want by description - just give me lot numbers and it will be much simpler. I'd like to make a simple and polite request - if I have sent you my PayPal information (meaning we've agreed to a deal) please finish it up as soon as you can so I can check you off the list and move on to the next person. This helps make sure you get all the coins we discussed and no one else is in limbo. I will do my absolute best to update the ad as soon as lots sell.

[Other] These are the top 73 parks in the United States, ranked based on the quality of their coaster collections, as voted by, well... you! This is as close to objective as a ranking will ever get for this. Don't worry, I have some nerdy data to help explain myself.
This post needs a little clarification. Anyway, many of you are aware of the brilliant Vote Coasters project over at Coaster Bot. If not, take a look: https://coasterbot.com/votecoasters-fullresults2020 2699 enthusiasts from across the wrold people ranked every roller coaster they've ever ridden, at an average of 43 coaster credits per voter (116256 total credits). Many of you personally participated in this survey. Their algorithm is extremely clever (https://coasterbot.com/votecoasters-how) - "The community is only permitted to rank roller coasters they’ve actually ridden. This way each roller coasters position in the final results will be as truthful and accurate as possible. By making it easy for lots of people to contribute their lists, Vote Coasters is able to accumulate a large sample which represents everyone! Once the community has voted, the numbers are crunched. Our method involves directly comparing the rank of two individual roller coasters across all of the submitted lists. As Vote Coasters makes direct comparisons between individual roller coasters, the poll is not a popularity contest. Even obscure roller coasters that few people have had the chance to ride yet can do well!" I have taken this data and created a point system for coasters that's directly linked to their ranking on Vote Coasters 2020. The #1 ranking, Steel Vengeance, is worth 500 points. [Zadra's second and would be worth 499 points, but it's not in the US] #3, Lightning Rod, gets 498 points. El Toro gets 497 points and so on, all the way down to La Vibora in 499th place, earning only 2 points for its park. Any coaster under the top 500 (such as Corkscrew at Cedar Point) is worth zero points. This weeds out kiddie coasters and terrible coasters from factoring into a park's collection quality. Basically, crappy coasters add zero points to a park's total points, while excellent coasters are worth way more points than mid-tier ones. For coasters with two tracks, such as Gemini or Lightning Racer, I only counted points for the best of the two tracks. My spreadsheet showing the point values for all 256 American coasters in the top 500 is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10aaS1f8CptsXEvUSqE2-VUtal-Od9gim-x8rT7xkT8M/edit?usp=sharing I have added all of the points for the coasters in all of the 73 American amusement parks that house at least one global top 500 roller coaster. I ranked the earned point totals for all 73 parks. (That's how I got to a "Top 73!") For those like me who care exclusively about coasters and collecting quality credits and nothing else, I think this is an EXCELLENT way to prioritize future amusement park trips based on the quality of each park's overall coaster collection. Without further ado, here's what you want to see:
69 (93 points): Frontier City (5 coasters, 1 ranked)
70 (37 points): Adventureland New York (2 coasters, 1 ranked)
71 (17 points): Lakemont Park (3 coasters, 1 ranked)
72 (12 points): Conneaut Lake Park (2 coasters, 1 ranked)
73 (8 points): Belmont Park (1 coaster, 1 ranked)
If any coaster YouTube channel wants to use this data to fuel an idea for a new video (sup Airtime Thrills or Coaster Studios or, you know, COASTER BOT!), please feel free! 100% of the credit goes to Coaster Bot for helping me compile this ranking.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1 Episode 5 (pt 1)
I know this took a really long time, hope you guys like it. If you work for Disney, this is a pitch. Cast Jack Dylan Grazer as Percy Jackson Cassidy Nugent as Annabeth Chase Nick Palatas as Grover Underwood Liv Tyler as the Nereid Sylvester Stallone as Gabe Ugliano Barbra Walters as herself Vin Diesel as Crusty Idris Elba as Charon Andy Serkis as Evil Voice Hugo Weaving as Hades Dwayne Johnson as Ares Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season one episode five: “And I Thought Airport Security Was Ridiculous” or “Will the Real Lightning Thief Please Stand Up?” screenplay INT – LAS VEGAS TAXI CAB – EARLY NOON PERCY, ANNABETH and GROVER get into the back of a taxi cab. CABBY: (Bored, uninterested, cigar in mouth) Where to, kids? ANNABETH: (Calm, confident) Los Angeles, please. CABBY: (Raises eyebrow, puffs on cigar) Dat’s three hundred miles from here, miss. You’ll have to pay upfront. ANNABETH: Do you take casino debit cards? CABBY: Depends. I’ll have to give it a swipe. ANNABETH hands the cab driver her LotusCash card, and he looks at it skeptically. He rolls his eyes and swipes it, and the meter begins rattling and the lights on it flash. When an infinity symbol appears on the meter, the cabby’s cigar drops out of his mouth in shock. CABBY: (Shocked, excited) W-where in Los Angeles, your highness? ANNABETH: (Sits up a little, smiles) Santa Monica pier, please. Get us there by evening, and you can keep the change. The cabby slams down the gas pedal, and several cars honk at him as he flies down the street. As they head through the Mojave desert, PERCY tells ANNABETH and GROVER about the dream he had before they went to the Lotus Hotel and Casino. PERCY: … And then the voice in the pit saw me. He showed me my mother… and a black throne carved with faces screaming in agony. And then… (Gulps) … The undead soldiers put a red robe and a laurel of thorns on me… and then I became one of them. GROVER: Well that got dark fast. PERCY: There’s something else. The guy in the cloak, the Lightning Thief, called the voice something… The… “Something” One… ANNABETH: (Disappointed, blunt) Well that’s incredibly unspecific. Was it the Rich One? The Silent One? Those are both nicknames for HADES. PERCY: (Unsure) Maybe… GROVER: Well, the throne sounds like the way HADES’S throne is described. Black obsidian carved with faces of damnation. PERCY: Yeah but… the throne wasn’t the main part of the dream. And the voice in the pit… I dunno, it just doesn’t feel like the voice of a god. It seemed… older. ANNABETH’S eye get wide with dread. PERCY: (Concerned) What? What’s wrong? ANNABETH: (A bit uneasy) N-nothing. I was just thinking… no. It has to be HADES. He probably sent the Lightning Thief to steal the MASTER BOLT, and something must’ve went wrong- PERCY: Like what? ANNABETH: I- (Reluctant) -I don’t know. But to steal something as important as the MASTER BOLT, and the fact that ZEUS has his best trackers on the job, a lot of stuff could go wrong. So, the thief could’ve hidden the bolt, or maybe even lost it. Anyway, the thief failed to deliver the BOLT to HADES, that’s what the voice in your dream said, right? The Lightning Thief failed. That explains what the Furies were looking for when they attacked us on the bus. They probably thought we had the BOLT. PERCY notices a hint of anxiety in ANNABETH’S eyes, and sees that she seems to be shaking a bit. PERCY: (Suspicious, confused) But… if HADES thinks I already have the BOLT, why would I be coming to the UNDERWORLD? GROVER: To blackmail him into giving your mom back. PERCY: (Surprised) You know, you have pretty dark thoughts for a goat. GROVER: (Blunt) Thanks. PERCY: But… the voice said he was waiting for two items. If the MASTER BOLT’S one, what’s the other? GROVER shrugs. PERCY: (Turns to ANNABETH, knowing look in his eyes) You know what it is, don’t you? The voice in the pit? ANNABETH: (Hesitant, worried) PERCY, I… let’s not talk about it. It’s probably HADES. PERCY: (Thinking) I just… I just feel like there’s something we’re still missing. ANNABETH: (Uneasy) Well, I guess we’ll find the answer in the UNDERWORLD. PERCY forlornly looks out the window at the desert scenery whizzing past. EXT – SANTA MONICA BEACH - SUNSET The kids head to the edge of the surf. ANNABETH: Well? What now? PERCY stares out over the ocean, and gets a longing look in his eyes. He takes a deep breath, taking in the ocean air, and slowly steps into the water. ANNABETH: (Surprised, worried) PERCY? What are you- PERCY ignores her, and continues walking into the water. GROVER: Dude, do you have any idea how polluted that water is? ANNABETH: (Concerned) PERCY, get out of there. You’ll grow a third- Once PERCY gets chest deep into the water, he dives under, disappearing from ANNABETH and GROVER’S view. EXT – UNDER THE PACIFIC OCEAN – SAME TIME PERCY holds his breath at first, then remembers he can breathe underwater, and lets himself breathe normally. PERCY: That’s gonna take some getting used to. He looks around the water, curious, then notices a mako shark right beside him. PERCY (Startled, jumps) Ah! PERCY calms down when he realizes the shark is not trying to harm him, and it nuzzles up against him like a dog. PERCY hesitantly touches the shark’s dorsal fin, and it bucks gently, inviting PERCY to hold on tighter. PERCY grabs onto the shark’s fin, and it takes off, blasting through the water like a rocket, pulling PERCY along. PERCY: (Surprised) Whoa, boy! The shark pulls PERCY deeper and deeper into the ocean. PERCY: (Slightly worried) Where are you taking me? The shark begins to slow down, and PERCY catches his breath when they come to a huge, gaping, pitch black canyon. WOMAN’S VOICE: (O.S.) (Quiet, gentle, far away) PERSEUS… PERCY is surprised to hear the voice of the river spirit he spoke to in St. Louis. WOMAN’S VOICE: (O.S.) (Gentle) PERCY JACKSON… PERCY makes out a light in the darkness of the canyon, and it slowly gets bigger until he sees beautiful woman with black hair, her body glowing gently with white light, wearing a flowing, greenish-white silk dress. She dismounts, smiles, and gives PERCY a small bow. Her giant seahorse and the mako shark begin playfully chasing each other. WATER SPIRIT: (Smiling, kind) You have come far, my hero. Well done. PERCY awkwardly bows, as she did. WATER SPIRIT: (Small laugh) You are prince, PERCY JACKSON, you need not bow to me. PERCY: You’re the spirit I talked to in the Mississippi River, aren’t you? WATER SPIRIT: Yes, child. I am a Nereid, a spirit of the sea. It was not easy for me to travel so far up river, but my freshwater cousins, the naiads, were able to help me sustain myself. The naiads honor your father, though they do not serve in his court. PERCY: And… you do? Serve in his court, I mean? NEREID: Indeed. I must say, it has been many long years since a son of the sea god has been born. My sisters and I have watched over you with great interest. PERCY: (Confused, a bit resentful) If my dad’s so interested in me, why doesn’t he come talk to me in person? A cold current rises out of the canyon, and almost knocks PERCY off his feet. NEREID: (Sad, gentle) Do not judge the Lord of the Sea too harshly. Your father is incredibly busy; he now stands on the brink of an unwanted war. And apart from that, your father is forbidden from helping you directly. Gods mustn’t show favoritism, you know. PERCY: (Surprised, a bit sad) Even to their own children? NEREID: Especially to their own children. However, the gods can work through indirect influences, which is why your father has sent me to give you a warning; and a gift. The Nereid holds out her hand, and shows PERCY three gleaming white pearls. NEREID: You journey to the realm of HADES. Few have returned from that place; Orpheus, who possessed great musical skill, Hercules, who possessed great strength, Houdini, who could escape even the depths of TARTARUS. Have you any of these talents? PERCY: (Awkward) Um… well… no. NEREID: (Kind smile) But you possess something else, PERCY JACKSON. Gifts you have yet to know. The oracles have foretold great and terrible future for you, should you survive to manhood. Your father would not have you die before your time comes. Therefore, he wishes to give you these pearls. When you are in need, smash them at your feet. PERCY: (Tentatively takes the pearls) … What do they do? NEREID: That depends on the manner of your need. But remember this; what belongs to the sea will always return to the sea. PERCY: (Stares at the pearls with wonder) You said you also came to give me a warning. What is it? NEREID: (Leans forward) Listen to your heart, or you shall fail. HADES feeds upon doubt and hopelessness. He will try to trick you into mistrusting yourself. Once you enter the Realm of the Dead, he will never willingly let you leave. You must keep strong, and have faith. The Nereid mounts her giant seahorse, and slowly descends back into the dark canyon. NEREID: Good luck, PERCY JACKSON. PERCY: (Urgent) Wait! Back in St. Louis, you told me not to trust “the gifts”. What gifts? NEREID: (Voice becoming distant) Farewell, my young hero. Listen to your heart… The Nereid disappears into the darkness, leaving PERCY alone with the mako shark. PERCY gives the pearls an empty look, then begins swimming back to the surface. EXT – SANTA MONICA BEACH – A FEW MINUTES LATER PERCY shows the pearls to his friends. ANNABETH: (Skeptical) This can’t be good. No gift ever comes for free. PERCY: But… she just gave them to me. No strings attached. ANNABETH: You ever heard the saying, “No such thing as a free lunch”? It’s an Ancient Greek saying that works pretty well in English, especially in America. There will be a price, just wait and see. PERCY puts the pearls in his pocket, a slightly worried/disappointed look on his face. Later, as night falls, the kids cautiously wander around L.A., police sirens blaring in the back ground. ANNABETH notices a cop car coming, and pulls the boys into an alley. Once the cop car passes, they cautiously leave the alley. PERCY: (Relieved) Phew… that was a close- PERCY stops mid-sentence when he sees a his stepdad GABE, who is sitting with a pretty blonde woman, being interviewed by Barbra Walters on a TV in an appliance store. GABE: (ON TV SCREEN) (Feigning grief) Honest, Ms. Walters, if it weren’t for Sugar here, my grief counselor, I… I don’t know what I’d do. My stepson took everything I care about… my wife… my car… I just… GROVER: For some reason I don’t think she’s a grief counselor. GABE: (Wipes away fake tear) I’m sorry, I have a hard time talkin’ bout it. BARBRA WALTERS: (Overly dramatic, turns to camera) There you have it, America. A man torn apart. An adolescent boy with serious issues. Here’s the last known photo of the troubled young fugitive, taken in Denver, Colorado, about a week ago. A grainy image of PERCY, ANNABETH and GROVER talking to ARES outside the diner in Denver comes up on the screen next to Barbra Walters. BARBRA WALTERS: (Over dramatic) Who are the other children in this photo? Who is the man with them? Is PERCY JACKSON simply a delinquent, a terrorist, or perhaps the brainwashed victim of a frightening new cult? When we come back, we’ll chat with leading child psychologist. Stay tuned, America. PERCY’S face becomes twisted with fury, and GROVER gently grabs him by the shoulder. GROVER: Come on, dude. Let’s get going. The kids begin wandering around L.A., and become nervous when they notice some shady people hanging around. They past by some people who look like gangbangers, bums, and various other suspicious looking people. GRUFF MALE VOICE: (O.S.) Hey, kid! PERCY, startled, stops, and a homeless looking man comes out of an alley. HOMELESS MAN: (Fidgeting) Spare some change? PERCY: (Awkward, nervous) Um… sorry, no. Several other bums come out of the dark alley, and when the kids try to run, several bums come up from behind them, staring the kids down threateningly. The first bum pulls out a switch blade, and PERCY uncaps Riptide, shocking the bums. PERCY swings his blade at the bum leader, but it passes through him as if he were a hologram. HOMELESS MAN: (Shocked) What the-!? PERCY: (Surprised, disappointed) Oh right, I, uh… I forgot about that. ANNABETH kicks one of the bums in the crotch, causing him to crumple to the ground in pain. ANNABETH: (Urgent) Run! The kids start running down the sidewalk, the bums chasing after them, shouting at them to come back. The kids rush around a corner, and ANNABETH sees an open shop called “CRUSTY’S WATER BED PALACE”. ANNABETH: There! The kids run into the shop, hide behind a display bed in the window, and the bums run past. GROVER: (Relieved) Phew… I think we lost them. MALE VOICE: (O.S.) Lost who? PERCY, ANNABETH AND GROVER, IN UNISON: (Startled, jump) Ah! The kids turn around to see a tall, pale, bald man in a tacky leisure suit and silver chains around his neck, standing right behind them. TALL BALD MAN: (Grinning creepily, showing off yellow teeth) How ya’ll doin? I’m Crusty. PERCY: (Holding back a laugh, quiet) Yes, you are. CRUSTY: (Raises eyebrow) Hm? PERCY: (Slightly embarrassed, awkward) I said, uh… sorry to barge… in. CRUSTY: Hidin’ from them lowlifes, huh? Yeah, they hang around here every night. I get a lotta people comin’ in here cuz of them. So… (Gestures around shop) … Can I interest you kids in a water bed? PERCY: (Uncomfortable) Um… I mean, uh… I don’t really think I need- CRUSTY gracefully sweeps up behind PERCY, grabs him by the shoulders, and pushes him deeper into the shop. PERCY: Uh, okay, this is weird… CRUSTY proudly gestures to a vibrating bed with lava lamps and black satin sheets. CRUSTY: Million hand massage. Why don’t you lie down? Hell, take a nap, I don’t care. PERCY: (Anxious) Um, no, I think we’ll be leave- GROVER: (Excited) Dude, million hand massage?! No way! GROVER jumps into the massage bed. GROVER: (Voice vibrating) O-oh d-dude, th-this is s-so s-sweet! CRUSTY: (Disappointed, stroking chin) Hmm, not quite… PERCY: (Uneasy) Huh? Not quite what? CRUSTY: (Takes ANNABETH by the shoulder) Do me a favor, honey, and try this one over here. ANNABETH: (Uncomfortable) I… but… CRUSTY ushers ANNABETH over to a bed, and tries pushing her into it. ANNABETH: (Angry) Hey! Get your hands off- CRUSTY: (Snaps fingers) Ergo! Ropes grow out from under the bed, and strap ANNABETH down to the mattress. ANNABETH: (Panicking, screaming) Hey! LET ME GO! GROVER tries to get out of his bed, but ropes tie him down as well. GROVER: (Alarmed) I-it’s n-not s-sweet a-anymore, d-dudes! PERCY: (Steps back, shocked) What the hell are you- CRUSTY: (Quickly places hand behind PERCY’S neck) Whoa, take it easy, kid. I’ll get you your own bed in a sec. PERCY: (Assertive, serious) Let my friends go. CRUSTY: (Calm, friendly) Oh don’t worry, I will. Soon as I make ‘em fit. PERCY: (Confused, angry) Fit? What do you- CRUSTY: Lemme explain. All the beds are exactly six feet. Your friends are too short, see, so I gotta stretch ‘em out a bit. Can’t stand imperfect measurements… CRUSTY snaps his fingers again, and more ropes wrap around GROVER and ANNABETH’S feet and arms, and begin slowly stretching them. PERCY watches in horror as his friends scream in pain. PERCY: (Angry, shouting) Let them go, now! CRUSTY: Don’t worry, they only need a few inches. Hell, they might even survive! Now, why don’t we get you set up with a bed you like, huh? ANNABETH: (Screaming in pain) PERCY!!! GROVER: (Screaming in pain) HELP!!! PERCY: (Suspicious) Your name’s not really CRUSTY, is it? CRUSTY: Legally, it’s PROCRUSTES. PERCY: The Stretcher. The one who tried to kill Theseus with hospitality. PROCRUSTES: (Grinning) That’s me. But who can pronounce Procrustes? ‘Crusty’ on the other hand, much easier to market. PERCY: (Eyes get wide, gets an idea) Uh… yeah! I totally agree. Has a nice ring to it. PROCRUSTES: (Flattered) You think so? PERCY: Oh, absolutely. And the craftsmanship on these beds is simply fabulous. PROCRUSTES: (Grinning) I tell my customers that all the time. I mean, how many beds have you seen with lava lamps built into the headboards? PERCY: (Shrugging) Not too many. PROCRUSTES: Exactly! ANNABETH: (Angry, confused, screaming in pain) PERCY!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!? PERCY: (Dismissive) Don’t mind her. She couldn’t never understand the art of a well crafted bed. PROCRUSTES: (Sighing, disappointed) None of my customers do. Never exactly six feet, so inconsiderate. And then they have the nerve to complain about the fittings! PERCY: So… what do you do if they’re taller than six feet? PROCRUSTES: Oh, easy fix. I just center the customer best I can, then grab my trusty friend here- (Lets go of PERCY’S neck, reaches behind desk, pulls out huge, double sided bronze axe) - And I lop off whatever hangs off either side! PERCY: (Surprised, nervous) Oh… well, I mean, that’s just perfectly sensible. PROCRUSTES: (Excited) Oh, you have no idea what it feels like to finally have an intelligent customer! PERCY worriedly look over to his friends, ANNABETH gasping for air, struggling against the ropes, GROVER making strangled gurgling sounds. PERCY: So… CRUSTY, my man, this bed… (Gestures to giant heart shaped bed with red satin sheets) … Does it really have dynamic stabilizers to stop wave motion? PROCRUSTES: Sure does. Why don’t you give it a try? PERCY: (Stroking chin, pretending to be interested) Yeah, maybe I will. But… would it work even for a big guy like you? PROCRUSTES: Absolutely. PERCY: Really? No waves at all? PROCRUSTES: None. Guaranteed. PERCY: (Pretending to be skeptical) No way. PROCRUSTES: Way. PERCY: Prove it. PROCRUSTES puts his axe down, lies in the bed, and pats the mattress. PROCRUSTES: See? No waves at all- PERCY: (Snaps fingers) Ergo! Ropes spring out of the sides of the bed, tying PROCRUSTES down to it, his head hanging off the top. PROCRUSTES: (Shocked, angry) What the-?! PERCY: (Frowns, feigning disappointment) Oooh, sorry, man. Looks like you don’t quite fit… (Uncaps Riptide) … Let me make a few adjustments. PROCRUSTES: (Anxious, gulps) Whoa, uh, y-you drive a hard bargain, kid. Tell you what; let me go, and I, uh… I’ll give you thirty percent off any of the floor models! PERCY: (Sarcastic, pretending to consider offer) Really? Any of the floor models? PROCRUSTES: Y-yep! A-and no money down. And no interest for six months. PERCY: Hm. That’s a pretty tempting offer. But I think I have a better one. PROCRUSTES: (Curious) Really? What’s that? PERCY: (Raises Riptide, aiming for PROCRUSTES’S neck) Go to TARTARUS. PROCRUSTES: (Frowns) That’s not a- PERCY swings Riptide down, and chops off PROCRUSTES’S head, turning the giant salesman to yellow dust and black smoke, then quickly cuts GROVER and ANNABETH’S ropes. PERCY: (Concerned) You alright? ANNABETH: (Groaning) Define “alright”. PERCY: (Smirks) You look taller. ANNABETH: (Irritated) Very funny. Could you maybe be faster saving us next time? PERCY heads behind CRUSTY’S desk, and begins flipping through papers. He finds a pouch of drachmas, and puts them in his pocket, then finds a map. PERCY: So, who’s ready to go to the UNDERWORLD? GROVER: (Groaning) Dude, give me a sec… (Stretches, back makes sickening ‘pop’ sound) Oooo, that was good. Okay, I’m ready. PERCY: Good. (Holds up map he found on CRUSTY’S desk) Because it’s right around the block. EXT – VALENCIA BOULEVARD – A FEW MINUTES LATER The kids stand outside of a record store with a sign made of black marble engraved with gold lettering that reads: DOA RECORDING STUDIOS, and stenciled words on the glass door that reads: NO SOLICITING, NO LOITERING, NO LIVING. ANNABETH: Well, this was not what I was expecting. PERCY: What were you expecting? ANNABETH: (Shrugging) I dunno. Like, a hole by the Hollywood sign that opens when you read some Ancient Greek graffiti? (Looks directly into the camera) PERCY: (Confused) … Okay, whatever. Anyway, you guys remember the plan? GROVER: (Nervous) Yep. The plan. Love the plan. ANNABETH: (Critical, curt) And what if the plan goes wrong? PERCY: (Trying to be reassuring) Oh come on, don’t be so negative, ANNABETH. ANNABETH: (Sarcastic) Oh yes, PERCY. We’re about to enter the Land of the Dead, but I’m sure if we don’t think negative, we’ll be just fine. PERCY takes the Nereid’s pearls out of his pocket, and stares at them glumly. ANNABETH: (Kind, places hand on PERCY’S shoulder) I’m sorry, PERCY. You’re right. Well make it. ANNABETH gives GROVER a nudge. GROVER: (Nervous, trying to be reassuring) Y-yeah! I mean, we’ve made it this far, right? We’ll get the BOLT, save your mom, and save the world. PERCY: (Smiles, then gets serious) Alright. Let’s kick some UNDERWORLD ass. INT – DOA RECORDING STUDIOS – SAME TIME The kids enter DOA, Muzak playing softly. The walls are steel gray, the furniture black leather. There are people hanging about the lobby, but at closer glance, they are slightly see through, as if they were made of smoke. The kids head to the main desk, which is raised up on a podium. The security guard behind the desk has a military style haircut, dyed bleach blonde, wearing tortoiseshell shades and a white silk Italian suit, with a black rose pinned to his lapel, and a silver name tag. PERCY: (Leans forwards, reads name tag, bewildered) Your name is CHIRON? SECURITY GUARD: (Leans over, smiling, soothing voice) What a precious lad you are. Tell me, do I look like a centaur? PERCY: (Slightly embarrassed) N-no. SECURITY GUARD: Sir. PERCY: No, sir. SECURITY GUARD: (Gestures to name tag) Take a closer look, now. It’s C-H-A-R-O-N. Now say it with me, CARE-ON. PERCY: (A bit irritated) CHARON. CHARON: Ah-mazing. Now, Mr. CHARON. PERCY: (Rolls his eyes) Mr. CHARON. CHARON: Well done. I do hate being confused with that old horse. Now, how may I help you little dead ones? PERCY looks over at ANNABETH. ANNABETH: (A bit uncomfortable) Well, we uh, wanna go to the UNDERWORLD. CHARON: (Blunt, a bit surprised) Oh. Well, that’s refreshing. ANNABETH: (Confused) I, uh- it is? CHARON: Oh, absolutely. Just straightforward and honest, no screaming, no “Oh, please, Mr. CHARON, please give me another chance!”. (Grins, clasps hands) So, how did you loves die? PERCY clears his throat. GROVER: (Nervous) Oh! We uh, we drowned. In a bathtub. CHARON: (Raises eyebrow) All three of you at once? PERCY: (Awkward) I-it was a really big bathtub. CHARON: (Blunt) Naturally. I don’t suppose you have coins for passage, though. If you were adults, I could charge your American Express, or add the ferry fee to your last cable bill. But children… (Sighs, sad) … Alas, they never die prepared, it seems. I’m afraid you’ll have to take a seat for a few centuries. PERCY: Oh, we have coins. (Places three drachmas on the desk) CHARON: (Licks lips, excited) My my… real golden drachmas… I haven’t seen those in… (Hand hovers over drachmas, becomes suspicious) Here now, just a minute ago, you read my name tag wrong. Are you dyslexic, mate? PERCY: (A bit nervous) No, I’m dead. CHARON: (Leans forward, stares the kids down) You’re not dead. (Sniffs the air, disdainful) Two godlings and a satyr. I should have known. PERCY: (Awkward) Okay, first of all, I didn’t want to be a half-blood, and second, we really need to get to the UNDERWORLD. CHARON makes a strange, growling sound in his throat, and the spirits waiting around the lobby start moving around, restless, lighting cigarettes, fidgeting with their watches, etc. CHARON: Why don’t you leave now, and I’ll just forget I saw you. CHARON starts to reach for the drachmas, but PERCY snatches them away. PERCY: (Serious, assertive) No service, no tip. CHARON growls again, the spirits start banging on the elevator door. PERCY: (Pretending to be disappointed) It’s really a shame. We had more to offer. PERCY holds up the pouch of drachmas he took from CRUSTY’S place, pulls out a fistful of the golden coins, and lets them run through his fingers. CHARON: (Slightly hungry look on face) You think I can be bought, godling? Hmmm, just out of curiosity, how much you got there? PERCY: (Polite) A lot. So… what’s your pay like, huh? HADES being good to you, or…? CHARON: (Annoyed) Ugh, you don’t know the half of it. Babysitting these spirits for eternity, always with “Please don’t let me be dead”, “Please let me go in for free”, all day, everyday. I haven’t had a raise in almost three thousand years. I mean, look at me. (Gestures to his suit) … You think dressing this good is cheap? PERCY: (Nodding, slowly drops a few drachmas on the desk) Clearly, you deserve better wages as, uh… compensation for the, um… mentally taxing environment you work in. PERCY glances over at ANNABETH, who quickly nods approvingly. CHARON: You know, mate? I think you might be starting to talk some sense. (Strokes chin, thinking) Hm… boat’s almost full anyway… tell you what, lad. While you’re talking to the boss man, if you were to mention something about giving me a raise… PERCY: I guess I could drop a subtle hint or two. CHARON: (Smiles coldly, grabs drachmas) Come along, then. CHARON begins pushing through the spirits of the dead, the kids follow him. As CHARON pushes through the spirits, they whisper and wail incomprehensible gibberish. CHARON: Freeloaders. CHARON opens the elevator doors, and they get in with several spirits already in the elevator. CHARON: (Turns to face the spirits still in the lobby) No one get any ideas while I’m gone. And if anyone changes the station from easy-listening again, you’ll all be waiting here for another thousand years. The elevator doors close, and CHARON slides a key card into the slot on the panel, and the elevator begins to descend. ANNABETH: (Uncomfortable) So… what happens to the spirits in the lobby? CHARON: (Blunt) Nothing. ANNABETH: Oh… for how long? CHARON: Forever. Or until I’m feeling generous. ANNABETH: (Curt, sarcastic) Well that’s fair. CHARON: Nothing about death is fair, love. You’ll find that out for yourself soon enough where you’re heading. PERCY: (Confident) We’ll get out alive. CHARON: (Dry) Ha. Suddenly, PERCY becomes a bit woozy, blinks a few times, and sees that CHARON’S Italian suit has been replaced by a gray tunic and a black cloak, and his tortoiseshell shades have disappeared, revealing his eyes to be empty black pits. PERCY notices the modern clothes of the spirits become tattered gray cloaks. CHARON: Well? PERCY: (Realizes he was staring at CHARON’S strange eyes) N-nothing. CHARON’S face slowly becomes transparent, showing off his grinning skull. The elevator suddenly starts swaying. GROVER: (Holds his hand up to his mouth as if about to vomit) Oh, dude… I’m gonna be sick… PERCY becomes a bit woozy again, and suddenly the elevator has become a wooden barge, gently drifting down an oily, black river littered with all sorts of things, from college diplomas, dolls, money, and jewelry. ANNABETH: The River Styx… it’s so… CHARON: Polluted. For thousands of years, the spirits of the dead have thrown in everything they can’t take with them; hopes, dreams, wishes that never came true. Irresponsible waste management, if you ask me. Mist begins curling off the river, PERCY glances up to see huge stalactites, and then sees a strange, poison-green light glowing faintly in the distance. PERCY and ANNABETH begin nervously looking around at the spirits around them, and ANNABETH grabs PERCY’S hand. CHARON rows down the river a bit, and soon, they find themselves approaching the shores of the UNDERWORLD, craggy rocks and black volcanic sand, and about a hundred yards up the shore, a huge, stone wall that seems to go on forever in either direction. The kids become more uneasy when they here a deep, powerful howling sound somewhere in the distance. CHARON: (His face almost entirely transparent) Ol’ three face is hungry. Too bad for you, godlings. The boat slides up onto the black shores, and PERCY sadly watches the spirits shuffle out of the boat. PERCY, ANNABETH and GROVER hesitantly depart the boat. CHARON: So long, mates. I’d wish you luck, but there’s none down here. CHARON begins rowing away. CHARON: Oh, and don’t forget to mention my raise. CHARON eventually disappears from PERCY’S sight, and the kids forlornly trudge up the path with the spirits. As they get closer to the gate, PERCY sees that the gates of the UNDERWORLD seem to be modeled after airport security, with three different entrances with a sign over them that reads: YOU ARE NOW ENTERING EREBUS. Beyond the gates, there are some tollbooth-like structures manned by ghoulish black robed figures like CHARON. PERCY notices lots of spirits moving right along to a gate with a sign over it that reads: EZ DEATH. PERCY: (Points to quick moving line) What do you make of that? ANNABETH: Probably goes to the FIELDS OF ASPHODEL. It’s the place where spirits go if they’re too scared to face judgment in court. PERCY: (Surprised) There’s a court for the dead? ANNABETH: Yep. There’s three judges, and HADES switches them around once in a while. King Minos, Thomas Jefferson, Shakespeare, people like that. The judges look at a person’s life, and if they were really good, they get to go to ELYSIUM. If they were really bad, the judges decide on a punishment. But for most people… well, most people never do anything really special in their lives, good or evil, so they go to the FIELDS OF ASPHODEL. PERCY: Oh… and… what exactly happens in ASPHODEL? GROVER: Imagine wandering around in a wheat field. PERCY: Well, that doesn't sound so- GROVER: Forever. PERCY: … Oh. I guess that would kinda suck. GROVER: (Eyes wide with fear, points to something) Not as much as that. PERCY and ANNABETH look where GROVER is pointing, and see two black robed ghouls grab one of the spirits in line, who begins sniffing him down. They ghouls growl angrily, and begin dragging the shrieking spirit away towards one of the gates. PERCY: (Worried, a bit scared) Where are they taking him? GROVER: (Gulps) FIELDS OF PUNISHMENT, probably. The Furies will set up whatever punishment the judges decide on. As the kids slowly approach the gates, they hear the howling sound again, but still can’t see where it is coming from. As they get closer to the gates, a huge, a shadowy figure slowly becomes visible, and starts to form the dark, transparent shape of a massive three-headed dog, towering over them, growling. PERCY: (Petrified) H-he’s a rottweiler? ANNABETH: (Slowly turns head towards PERCY) Wow, PERCY. There is, standing in front of us, a three-headed dog twice the size of an elephant, with teeth the size of cinder blocks, and more than likely wants to make us his midnight snack, and the first thing you think to say is, “He’s a rottweiler”? PERCY: (Awkward) I’m just trying to ease the tension. The kids slowly approach CERBERUS, and notice the giant dog is becoming more visible. PERCY: (Curious) I’m starting to see him better… why? ANNABETH: (Gulps, scared) Well… it’s probably because we’re becoming closer to death. CERBERUS stoops one of his heads, and begins sniffing. PERCY: (Grim) He can smell the living. GROVER: (Trembling with fear) Yeah. B-b-but it’s okay, cuz we g-g-gotta plan, right? ANNABETH: (Small, quiet, terrified) Yeah. Th-th-the plan. The kids inch closer the CERBERUS, and the three-headed dog barks so loud, the world seems to shake. PERCY: GROVER? Translation? GROVER: I, uh, don’t think humans have a four letter word that translates exactly. PERCY reaches into his backpack, pulling out a broken bedpost. PERCY: (Nervous, trying to be calm) H-hey boy, I bet they don’t play with you much down here, huh? CERBERUS lets out a thunderous bark. PERCY: (Gulps) G-good boy… (Waves the stick around) Y-you see the stick? CERBERUS’S middle head follows the stick, the other two heads fixed directly on PERCY. PERCY: Fetch! PERCY throws the bedpost, and CERBERUS watches it, unflinching. The stick disappears into the gloom, and splashes into the River Styx. CERBERUS turns his three heads back onto the kids, and growls menacingly. GROVER: Um, PERCY? PERCY: Yeah? GROVER: Just thought you should know, CERBERUS says we have ten seconds to pray to the god of our choice before we become Cerby snacks. CERBERUS begins snarling, saliva dripping from his three jaws, and ANNABETH’S eyes get wide. ANNABETH: Wait! I have an idea. (Start rifling through backpack) CERBERUS gets into an attack position. GROVER: Um, so I’m thinking maybe we should run now? ANNABETH: (Frantically looking through backpack) Hold on! CERBERUS roars, and starts to lunge forward when ANNABETH whips a red rubber ball out of her backpack, and the giant dog stops mid lunge, curious. ANNABETH: See the ball, boy? You want the ball? Sit! CERBERUS cocks his heads, confused. ANNABETH: (Assertive) Sit! To PERCY and GROVER’S surprise, CERBERUS sits, crushing several spirits, who pass through him, shouting angrily in some sort of gibberish. ANNABETH: (Pleased) Good boy! ANNABETH throws the ball, which CERBERUS catches in his middle mouth. The other two heads start snapping at the ball. ANNABETH: Drop it! CERBERUS whimpers, and gently drops the ball at ANNABETH’S feet, almost bitten in half and covered in slobber. ANNABETH: (Picks up ball) Good boy. (Glances back at PERCY and GROVER) Go. EZ DEATH line, it’s faster. PERCY: (Worried, hesitant) But- ANNABETH: Go! PERCY and GROVER reluctantly start inching forward, CERBERUS growls. ANNABETH: Stay! You want the ball? Then stay! PERCY: (Worried) What about you? ANNABETH: (Slightly nervous) I know what I’m doing, PERCY. Kinda. PERCY and GROVER cautiously walk under the giant dog’s legs. ANNABETH: Good dog! ANNABETH throws the ball to CERBERUS, and quickly walks under him while the three heads fight over the ball. PERCY: (Impressed) How’d you do that? ANNABETH: (Catching breath) Obedience school. When I was really little, my dad got a doberman, and- GROVER: (Urgent) Dudes, less talking, more running. The kids bolt for the EZ DEATH line, and ANNABETH stops when she hears CERBERUS whining behind her. She turns around to face him, and sees the giant dog panting, the ball torn to bits at his feet. PERCY: (Worried) ANNABETH? ANNABETH: (Shaky voice, sad smile) Good boy. I’ll bring you another ball soon. Would you like that? CERBERUS whines, and lower his three heads. ANNABETH: (Petting CERBERUS’S head, holding back tears) G-good boy. I’ll visit you, okay? I… I promise. PERCY: (Sad, hesitant) ANNABETH… we have to go. ANNABETH sadly walks away from CERBERUS, and passes through the EZ DEATH line with the boys. As they walk through the metal detector, alarms begin blaring, and CERBERUS starts barking. AUTOMATED VOICE: Unauthorized possessions! Magic items detected! PERCY: (Urgent) Run! The kids run through the gate into the FIELDS OF ASPHODEL, pushing through disgruntled spirits as black robed ghoulish security guards chase after them, shrieking and wailing. The kids scramble down the ridge of a road, and hide in the rotten trunk of a large, black tree. The ghouls run past the tree, still wailing and shrieking. The kids stay in the trunk for a bit to make sure the ghouls are gone. GROVER: Your plans suck, dude. PERCY: (Irritated) Yeah, well, you’re a donkey. (Takes quick look around the corner to make sure it’s safe) Alright, they’re gone. We should- PERCY stops mid-sentence when he notices ANNABETH sniffing and wiping tears from her eyes, and hears CERBERUS howling mournfully in the distance. PERCY: (Gently places hands on ANNABETH’S shoulders) Come on. We have to get out of here. ANNABETH nods, wiping the last of the tears from her eyes, and takes PERCY’S hand. Part 2 will be out soon.
Introducing the 10 stadiums of the Euro 2016 in France!
Welcome to this post fellow redditors! With the Euro 2016 less than 6 months away, it is time to introduce the stadiums that will host the fixtures of this tournament. For each city, you will find an in-depth description of the stadium, a photo album and a link to the city guide made by UEFA. Let me know if I made some mistakes or oversights. I hope you enjoy the reading! Nota Bene:
All kick-off times of the fixtures are CET.

Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia odds, preview and predictions
Thursday 10/03/2016, 20:45, Europa League, Last 16 Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia Preview Valencia won four of the last five games in all competitions and this is by far their best performance this season. Unfortunately for them, the only defeat came at the hands of Athletic Bilbao, with their countrymen scoring three unanswered goals at Mestalla. Now they will try to defeat Valencia once again in front of their fans and improve their chances of reaching the Europa League quarterfinals. Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia Odds At Canbet Athletic Bilbao 1.85, Draw 3.50, Valencia 4.80 Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia Tips Athletic Bilbao is one of the teams taking Europa League seriously and they will throw everything they've got at Valencia to make it to the next round. The Basques are also well positioned to secure another berth at the end of the season, but this is a secondary objectives. The home side is firing on all cylinders and despite a couple of glitches in the system, they are winning games constantly. The fact that they managed to score 7 goals in two matches speaks volumes about their offensive prowess and this is the result of having the best players fit to play. Injuries have played an important role in their downfall in late 2015, but those problems are now behind them. Valencia is nowhere near a Europa League placement and a humiliating elimination from Copa del Rey leaves them with a single objective. They need to make the most of the chance they've got to make a deep run in the European competition, but they were unlucky with the draw. Apparently the management and the players have realized the importance of winning as many matches as possible in Europa League and take the competitions seriously. The best proof is that they managed to defeat Rapid Vienna in both legs and scored a combined 10 goals without conceding one. Now they will take on an opponent of an entirely different caliber and keeping a clean sheet themselves will be difficult. Key Facts Athletic Bilbao has an impressive track record in Europa League and play the final a couple of years ago. Athletic Bilbao won 11 out of 23 games at home against Valencia and scored three goals in their last two meetings. Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia Prediction Athletic Bilbao will try to solve the problem of qualification in the first leg, as home pitch advantage means a great deal for them. They managed to defeat Valencia just a couple of days ago by three goals to nil and they also won the last match against these guys at home. Canbet proved to be a very generous bookmaker once again offering odds of 1.85 on the home side to prevail, but don't expect them to last. Bet: Athletic Bilbao @ 1.85 with Canbet via www.casinoreviews.casino
Now that the remaining teams are within striking distance of the quarterfinals, the interest for the Europa League has increased. There are a couple of strong contenders for the titles, including the reigning champions, so there are not going to take this remaining game slightly. While half of the games are two lopsided to present any interest to football fans, punters will still pay attention to everything that happens on the pitch. Betsafe gives them a compelling argument, by offering great odds on the outcomes. Shakhtar will play against Anderlecht ends credited with the first chance to advance the next stage, with bookmakers expecting the Ukrainians to win the first leg. Dortmund is also favored by bookies, despite the fact that they play against Tottenham which is in great form. The English side was more concerned about winning the Premier League and that's why their resources will be diverted towards the domestic competition. There also less likely to win on the road but will give their best in front of their fans. Sevilla plays on the road and the reigning champions are known for their inability to defeat other teams are they don't have home pitch advantage. Lazio can definitely relate to their struggles away from home and the Italian side is going to those its efforts in Prague. Both teams are expected to win the second leg, so punters should refrain from betting on their victory outright. A better solution would be to trust them to claim at least one point and these bets would make a great accumulator. By far the most exciting games are the ones played between Spanish teams, with Athletic Bilbao taking on Valencia. They've already defeated them last month by three goals to none and this time they also have home pitch advantage which means a great deal. Villarreal will also play the first leg in front of its fans and takes on Leverkusen, a team that used to play in the Champions League. Unfortunately for them, they are completely out of form and will have a hard time containing the threat posed by the Spaniards. Elsewhere, Fenerbahce was pit against the very difficult opponent as Sporting Lisbon is quite capable of winning games away from home. The Turkish side has the advantage of leading the domestic league by two points, yet Beiktas has a gaming hand. Sporting is in the same situation after failing to defeat Benfica over the weekend and both teams will do their very best to win the domestic championship. This is the kind of game that punters should avoid or at least bet on fewer than 2.5 goals. Last but definitely not least, the English rivalry is reignited when Liverpool takes on Manchester United for a chance to make the quarterfinals. Since both of them are out of the race on the domestic front, they can throw everything they've got in this fight. This is a game that could go either way, but it makes sense to bet Liverpool,… from via Casinoreviews
Some of the best European championships are still in recess, due to cold weather and they will resume at the end of January and the first weeks of February. Punters can still bet with Betclic on the Spanish first flight and its English counterpart, but also on some of the top domestic European cups. Action was pretty intense this week and some of the favorites advance to the final stages, while some were stopped in their tracks and will need to focus on other trophies. Coppa Italia is the most advanced competition, with the names of the teams that made the semifinals being already available on Thursday. Juventus is making a resurgence in Serie A, is still alive and kicking in the Champions League and hopes to win the cup as well. It is an ambitious bid but so far they are on the right track on all fronts, despite the weak season start.The Italians have advanced to the semifinals after defeating Lazio on the road and they will be meeting Inter Milan. Their opponents also took the football world by surprise after defeating Napoli away from home and scoring two unanswered goals. Just like Juventus, there trying to win the domestic championship as well and at least for the time being they have a narrow advantage over the runners-up. In Spain, Barcelona to can advantage of the fact that Real Madrid was eliminated by the Federation officials and is cruising to another trophy. The reigning champions defeated Athletic Bilbao on the road and will return to Barcelona for the second leg which is probably going to be nothing more than a formality. Sevilla is also virtually qualified after winning at home against the only team from a lower division that made such a deep run in the competition. Valencia was once again held to a disappointing draw, this time at home against Las Palmas and will travel to the islands knowing that it needs to score at least once. Atletico Madrid split points away from home at Celta Vigo in a highly contested game, but at least they will be playing the second leg in front of their fans. The Primera Division leaders have reputation for being the best defensive team, so they should have no problem in defending even a narrow margin leads when action resumes next week. Meanwhile, the FA cup still has a long way to go to decide the winner, but top teams are still alive in the competition and inching closer to the semifinals. Arsenal is the reigning champion and it won't have an easy mission against Burnley, while Tottenham, Manchester city and Liverpool also scrapped victories to advance. All these teams have busy schedules in 2016 as they fight worth on multiple fronts, trying to improve or consolidate their position in the Premier League and some also playing in the Champions League. from via Casinoreviews
Real Madrid vs Valencia odds, preview and predictions
Saturday 09/05/2015, 20:45, Spain La Liga, Round 36 Real Madrid vs Valencia Preview Real Madrid will be trying to close the gap separating it from the leaders in the three rounds left, but their chances of winning the trophy this season are not that good. The fact that they are still very much alive in the Champions League is great news, but they need to focus on the second leg against Juventus. Real Madrid vs Valencia Odds At Coral Real Madrid 1.35, Draw 4.70, Valencia 8.50 Real Madrid vs Valencia Tips Valencia is playing amazing football recently and sits in the fourth place, which will allow them to play in the Champions League groups next season. Since they don't play in Europa league as Sevilla does, this is their only chance of featuring among the best European teams in the second half of 2015. They travel to Madrid knowing that they are in for a challenge but have no injured or suspended players. Real Madrid can't afford to take this match lightly, because anything short of a victory over Valencia will cost them the title. On the other hand, they know that even a flawless record in the upcoming weeks might not be enough to overtake Barcelona and Champions League games remain their priority. Real Madrid vs Valencia Prediction Real Madrid has home pitch advantage and not surprisingly bookmakers credit the hosts with the first chance to win against an otherwise in form team. Valencia could cause a major upset at Bernabeu but risk-averse punters will prefer to take the cover of a +1.5 goals handicap at odds of 1.85. Bet: Valencia +1.5 goals @ 1.85 with Coral www.casinoreviews.casino
Spanish teams cruise in semifinals of European competitions
https://ift.tt/2IBmrrr Some of the best teams in continental football are playing in the Champions League and Europa League tournament, with Spanish ones dominating the competitions for a decade. The first leg of the semifinals has concluded and out of eight teams that made it this far, three were from Spain. Not surprisingly, all of them are still in the race and well-positioned to secure a spot in the finals. In the Champions League, Barcelona cruised to an easy victory over Munich and scored three goals at home, so the second leg is nothing more than a formality. Meanwhile, they also managed to put four points between them and their archrivals Real Madrid, so they can focus exclusively on the continental competition. With the domestic championship won, they don't need to play at the same intensity and can afford to rest key players which will be extremely important in the final stage. In the other semifinal, Juventus managed to win the first leg against Real Madrid, but they only prevailed by the odd goal at home. The Italians would have to avoid defeat in Madrid which is an unlikely scenario given the fact that the home side has been outstanding at Santiago Bernabeu. They suffered a significant setback in the La Liga after having to settle for one point at home against Valencia and only a miracle can help them close the gap separating them from Barcelona. In Europa League, Sevilla scored three unanswered goals at home against Fiorentina and the team travels to Italy confident in its ability to prevail. The Spanish team will only need to score once to be virtually sure of qualification but even a narrow margin defeat will serve their purpose. They've been simply outstanding at home and they are once again credited by Betfair with the first chance of winning the second best European competition. The team that used to be in the pole position was Napoli, but unfortunately for the Italians, they failed to win the first leg against Dnipro. They will need to recuperate the points lost on the road, but in Ukraine very few teams managed to win precious points. Interesting enough, unlike the three Spanish teams that made it to the semifinals, their three Italian counterparts are all struggling heavily and have only theoretical chances of winning the trophy. from via Casinoreviews
Valencia vs Sporting Gijon odds, preview and predictions
Sunday 31/01/2016, 17:00, Spain Primera Division, Round 22 Valencia vs Sporting Gijon Preview It's been more than two months since Valencia managed to score the first goal in a Primera Division match. Instead, they had to fight their way back in the game and level the score in the final minutes or even in overtime against all opponents. They fared slightly better in Copa del Rey but this inability to take control of the game early on has cost them a lot of points. Gary Neville is in dire need of changing something rapidly, otherwise his as good as set and this could be a good starting point. Valencia vs Sporting Gijon Odds At 10bet Valencia 1.65, Draw 3.60, Sporting Gijon 5.00 Valencia vs Sporting Gijon Tips Valencia failed to take advantage of home pitch throughout the season and most of the points were secured as a result of games ending undecided. It is still impressive that they are the only team besides Barcelona undefeated at home, although they managed to win just three times. Overall this is a mediocre performance for a team that used to compete for the title and a defeat against Sporting Gijon would be a disaster. In order to prevent such an outcome, the host will need to throw everything they've got at the visitors early in the game and hope that they will succumb under pressure. Sporting Gijon is not a formidable opponent even when it plays at home, but in away games the team barricades in its own half. So far this strategy be the deliver the expected results, as they only won twice and lost eight games. Sporting Gijon picked up three valuable points in the last round against Real Sociedad and the most impressive part is that they managed to score 5 times. It was an impressive display of strength and confidence, but the team now needs to shift back in the defensive mode ahead of this fixture.Valencia doesn't have many players injured but the main problem is that Paco Alcacer is doubtful and he might not play from the first minute. He was used as a substitute on several occasions and he ended up scoring late in the second half, a scenario that Valencia can't afford to happen tonight. Key Facts Sporting Gijon lost four games in a row before winning at home last round and is yet to win back-to-back games this season. Valencia has a vastly superior head to head record, winning four of the last five direct fixtures. Valencia vs Sporting Gijon Prediction Punters were disappointed so often by Valencia this season that many of them have lost confidence completely. It is understandable if you don't want to back the host at odds of 1.65, but eventually they will start winning games at home. Sporting Gijon is one of the best opponent they could possibly wish for, so despite the mediocre offers this is a bet worth placing. Bet: Valencia @ 1.65 with 10bet via www.casinoreviews.casino
Leicester vs West Ham odds, preview and predictions 04/04/2015
Saturday 04/04/2015, 16:00, England Premiership, Round 31 Leicester vs West Ham Preview Leicester is virtually relegated as the seven points separating them from the teams above the relegation line are difficult to cover. They sit in the last place and take on West Ham, a team that bled points in 2015 and has little chances of playing in a European competition next year.Leicester vs West Ham Odds At Winner Sports Leicester 2.30, Draw 3.50, West Ham 3.20 Leicester vs West Ham Tips Leicester is winless in the last eight games and six of those matches were defeats, with opposing teams scoring an average of two goals per game. Their backline is in shambles and with only 27 goals scored the entire season, they are clearly not fit to play in the Premier League for one more year. The players have lost hope and after dropping points against their main counter candidates, they almost gave up the fight. West Ham is another sad story of a team that had high expectations at the beginning of the season, but saw them crushed over the last three months. Home pitch performance was mediocre at best in February and March, but they were not much better on the road either. This afternoon they have four players missing including Valencia and that's why bookmakers are reluctant to overprice them. Leicester vs West Ham Prediction West Ham is still the better team even with a couple of key players missing and the odds for a win on the road are spectacular. 1.65 on the visitors to win or draw are equally tempting, so risk-averse punters will surely find pleasure in capitalizing on these odds. Bet: West Ham or Draw @ 1.65 with Winner Sports via www.casinoreviews.casino
Barcelona vs Arsenal odds, preview and predictions
Wednesday 16/03/2016, 20:45, Champions League, Last 16 Barcelona vs Arsenal Preview Barcelona lost just two games this entire season and it invincible run spends over 36 rounds, making it the most in-form team in Europe. They've won the first leg relatively easy by scoring twice in London and will return home knowing that qualification is not going to evade them. Arsenal is still hoping to win the domestic championship but they've got a points to recuperate and recent results are disappointing. Barcelona vs Arsenal Odds At Bet365 Barcelona 1.25, Draw 6.50, Arsenal 12.00 Barcelona vs Arsenal Tips Arsenal is not going to take any chances in Barcelona, because they know that their chances of actually qualifying to the quarterfinals are slim to none. It's impossible to envision any circumstance in which the Gunners will score 3 unanswered goals in Spain. That's why, they were channel all their resources on attainable objectives and right now their best chances to focus on the Premier League. Barcelona won seven games on the road after drawing away at Valencia, in a match that these used mostly substitute. They had won the first leg in the Copa del Rey by seven goals to none and had no interest in risking injuries. Tonight they are in a similar position, since they are already certain of advancing the next round and the only thing they need to avoid is players getting hurt. Unlike Arsenal who is playing catch-up in the English championship, Barcelona has a significant advantage over Atletico Madrid. Their archrivals are 12 points behind and have no chance whatsoever of actually winning the trophy. There also going to play against Sevilla in the domestic cup final and they've got an excellent chance of winning all three possible trophies this season. Barcelona had the advantage of a deep roster, so they can rotate players as they see fit and prevent by the footballers from getting injured. Their best strikers are going to featuring the starting formation, but there is a good chance for them to be replaced by half time or in the second half. Key Facts Arsenal is on the verge of missing all its objectives this season and injuries are only going to make matters worse. The visitors proved incapable of scoring in the first leg and now that they would need three goals in Barcelona, motivation is at its lowest. Barcelona vs Arsenal Prediction Barcelona crushed Arsenal at home and scored a bucketful of goals, but they have no reason to push for lopsided victory. The Gunners have lost motivation as well and as long as they avoid a humiliating defeat, they will consider themselves lucky. That's why, it is recommended for punters to bet on fewer than 3.5 goals to be scored and accept the odds of 1.75 offered by Bet365. Bet: Under 3.5 goals @ 1.75 with Bet365 via www.casinoreviews.casino
Betis Sevilla vs Real Madrid odds, preview and predictions
Sunday 24/01/2016, 20:30, Spain Primera Division, Round 21 Betis Sevilla vs Real Madrid Preview Real Madrid had so many opportunities to take the lead that both the players and manager are frustrated by the fact that the team sits in the third-place. Visiting Betis Sevilla will provide them with yet another chance at closing the gap separating them from the leader, as their city rivals have a difficult match against Sevilla. The two derbies of the magnificent Spanish cities are going to bring huge crowds at the stadiums and generate tremendous interest for these games. Betis Sevilla vs Real Madrid Odds At Bet365 Betis Sevilla 11.60, Draw 5.60, Real Madrid 1.25 Betis Sevilla vs Real Madrid Tips Betis Sevilla was mired in a five games losing streak, so the players and fans have good reasons to celebrate the scoreless draw on the road. The fact that they managed to prevent Villarreal from scoring and also put an end to their winning streak is definitely performance, but it doesn't solve the systemic problems plaguing Betis. The team is slowly but surely plunging in the standings and is just a couple of points above the relegation line, so the threat of leaving La Liga is all too real. To put things into perspective, they didn't score in the last seven games and this is the absolutely worst performance among all Spanish teams. Real Madrid on the other hand is on a scoring spree and managed to score an average of five goals per match over the last five fixtures. Except for the dramatic draw against Valencia, they won't all these games and hope to keep the streak alive. Problem is that all four victories were secured at home, while they had to settle for a draw on the road in Valencia. Sergio Ramos has picked up an injury and it is virtual he possible to replace him in the back line, but he is the only player missing. Elsewhere, Real Madrid can feature the best players and the starting 11 is much better than anything the home side can throw at it. Until the Champions League resumes, they can channel all their resources towards the domestic championship. Key Facts The two teams are at the opposite end of four, with Real Madrid surging and Betis plummeting in the tables. Real Madrid won the last two head to head games, each time by scoring five goals and keeping a clean sheet. Betis Sevilla vs Real Madrid Prediction There is no value in backing the visitors to win outright, but there are plenty of reasons to trust them to cover the -1.5 goals spread. Bet365 is making a tempting proposition by offering odds of 1.80 and punters have no reason to be intimidated by the fact that Real Madrid plays away from home. They've got the quality to win by more than two goals regardless of venue. Bet: Real Madrid -1.5 goals @ 1.80 with Bet365 via www.casinoreviews.casino
Leverkusen vs Barcelona odds, preview and predictions
Wednesday 09/12/2015, 20:45, Champions League, Group Stage Leverkusen vs Barcelona Preview Barcelona has already qualified for the Champions League playoffs and is well on track to win the domestic championship as well. The team is playing superb football in all competitions and could easily defeat any team, including Leverkusen. The fact that they have home pitch advantage means very little for the Spanish side, but the real question is whether the visitors will be willing to push the envelope and go for all three points. Leverkusen vs Barcelona Odds At Unibet Leverkusen 3.80, Draw 3.40, Barcelona 2.00 Leverkusen vs Barcelona Tips Barcelona decided to play it safe over the weekend and allowed Valencia take control of the game in the final minutes, which led to a shocking goal. It was surprising on many levels, because the visitors were the ones who had better ball possession for nearly 90 minutes and it created numerous scoring chances. It was enough for them to let their guard down for a couple of minutes to concede a goal and this allowed archrivals Real Madrid to close the gap. It is still very difficult for the runners-up to return to the top of La Liga, but some lessons need to be learned and Barcelona will step up its game. Winning in Germany will not change much, but they rely to fire back with a victory after settling for one point in Valencia. The home side is clearly motivated to go for outright victory, because anything short of that will mean exclusion from the most important European competition. Roma place at home against the modest team from Belarus, in a match that they are expected to win without breaking a sweat. Under these circumstances, Leverkusen has no alternative but to throw everything his got and try to defeat Barcelona. Normally, this is a recipe for other failure as those teams that let their guard down and try to push Barcelona will only concede plenty of goals. Recent results were far from impressive and with Leverkusen dropping points in their domestic championship, it's not hard to imagine how they could suffer a humiliating defeat at home. Key Facts Barcelona has no injured players ahead of this fixture and the match to be played over the weekend is not particularly difficult. Leverkusen has a terrible track record against the Spanish side and hasn't defeated than before. Leverkusen vs Barcelona Prediction It doesn't happen too often for Barcelona to be given even odds to win and the fact that they don't have home pitch advantage will have a deterring effect on punters. There are several classes about their German counterparts and even if they don't play at 100%, they shouldn't have a hard time claiming all three points. Unibet offers the best value at the time of writing, so punters should be embracing them. Bet: Barcelona @ 2.00 with Unibet via www.casinoreviews.casino
The Early Champions League Struggle ends this week
Most of the favorites have already survived the Champions League, but there are a couple of teams desperately trying to qualify for the elimination rounds. PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Zenit, Benfica, Juventus, Bayern, Manchester City and Atletico Madrid are already through. Spanish teams have had plenty of success so far and with three of them qualified already, it is easy to justify the odds given by bookies at the beginning of the season. Valencia is still in the fray and it needs a victory over Lyon, double by a Zenit triumph in Belgium. At least in theory, they have a good chance to qualify to the playoffs, because the French side is a miserable form and already eliminated, while the Russians are firing on all cylinders. In fact they are the only team that has won all the games so far and has the chance to finish the group stage with a flawless record. Arguably the most exciting group is Group B where three out of four teams have a decent chance to qualify to the next round. PSV is the one best placef to succeed, despite the fact that the Dutch the third-place with only seven points. If they defeat CSKA at home, then they can rest assured that qualification is for new within their grasp, regardless of what happens in Germany. This is where Manchester United needs to make its last stand and with the fixture, to make sure they have a chance to win the coveted trophy. They squandered numerous opportunities two weeks ago and they are yet to win a match on the road, so the odds seem to be stacked against them. Bookmakers are offering spectacular odds of 3.00 on them to win and Paddy Power is offering special bonuses to those who are ready to back the Red Devils. Wolfsburg has a flawless home record, but it recently suffered a defeat in front of its fans against Dortmund. They were riding a hot streak in the domestic championship as well, so this upset doesn't hurt their morale, ahead of this decisive match. Since both teams struggle with injuries, it can be difficult to predict the winner, but Manchester United is missing is inspirational striker Wayne Rooney. Barcelona has crossed opponents in Group E and this last the race wide open for the next three teams, with all of them having a chance to qualify. Leverkusen has the toughest mission, as it needs to defeat the leaders in front of their fans, something that nobody has succeeded in quite a while. AS Roma has home pitch advantage and is regarded as overwhelming favorite against Bate Borisov, but the visitors will put up quite a fight, knowing that they still have theoretical chances to advance. via www.casinoreviews.casino
