English Premier League: Spurs vs United Odds and Predictions on Matchday 30
Well, that was better. WagerBop’s “team” soccer handicaps went right around .500 last weekend, and .500 is typically a great number in a betting sport full of 3-way markets and partial payoffs. At the same time, many of the correct predictions Nikola and I made were at 1-to-1 (or worse) payoff odds, so we can’t claim punters got more than a piddling sum from any of our direct … [Read more...] about English Premier League: Spurs vs United Odds and Predictions on Matchday 30

But I’m drawn to the FA Cup each … [Read more...] about FA Cup Betting Odds: 5th-Round Lines, Totals, and Predictions
