We are planning to add a regular betting column to the website and are looking for two Handball experts willing to predict Champions League matches in the coming weeks. The plan is for each expert to start with 1000 Euros and for them to make 4 picks each week with bets of either 100 or 200 Euros. Each expert will also be expected to provide a couple of sentences explaining the rationale behind their picks. If you are interested in participating, please send me an email with your proposed picks for the first round of games, along with your short analysis as to why you are making the picks. Here are the lines (courtesy of NordicBet.com www.nordicbet.com ) for this weekend’s matches:

Send us your 4 picks prior to Saturday at 1500. We will review then review the entries and pick the 2 predictors who do the best job, both predicting winners and explaining their reasons for picking the winners. Depending on the quality of the input and interest that is generated we may even start a weekly podcast with the two predictors discussing their selections. Thanks.
