It looked like an easy bet on paper and so it proved as AC Milan won 3-1 in Thursday's Uefa Cup for some steady profits


There's normally any number of value bets floating around in the Uefa Cup but they appear thin on the ground this week and only one wager stands out.

It remains to be seen just how seriously AC Milan, the favourites in the outright, take the Uefa Cup this season as it progresses, having not qualified for the Champions League, but in any case they probably have two first elevens good enough to go a very long way and I can't help but think that this uncertainty is built into their price to beat Heerenveen on Thursday night.
