Trifecta on Turf: A Game Plan for Betting 3 International Soccer Finals on Sunday
To my estimation there is only 1 group of individuals in the world who are happy about the FIFA Women’s World Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup and CONMEBOL Copa América all coming to a conclusion on the same day. The media isn’t happy. It was stunningly tone deaf for the North American and South American federations to schedule men’s finals at the same time as a mega-important women’s … [Read more...] about Trifecta on Turf: A Game Plan for Betting 3 International Soccer Finals on Sunday
Wimbledon 2019: The 4 Strongest Sleeper Picks to Win in London
There are good reasons for any tennis gambler to take a hard look at futures underdogs. Especially in a setting such as Wimbledon, where the grass courts prevent players like Rafael Nadal from using their athleticism and power to wear down opponents with long rallies. In London, skills such as 1st-serve accuracy, volleying, net-rushing, and clever counter-play often take … [Read more...] about Wimbledon 2019: The 4 Strongest Sleeper Picks to Win in London
Vegas Action Stalls on USWNT Headed Into USA-France Quarterfinal
One of the best things about blogging on handicapping sites is that the “horse race” element is all we’re supposed to worry about. Who will win, who will lose, and will the outcome be a close call? That’s it. No reader cares a whit what I think (or what any other ‘capper thinks) about any other issues. That’s a nice security blanket to wear whenever I’m asked to cover … [Read more...] about Vegas Action Stalls on USWNT Headed Into USA-France Quarterfinal
3 Underdogs Who Could Win the SEC in 2019
Typically speaking, when an historic and renowned college football conference is able to recruit the most talented high school players at young ages, it tends to get better and better on the gridiron. There’s such a thing as overdoing it, though. The SEC’s fall from Mount Olympus over the last decade can be traced directly to over-zealous recruiting methods at the … [Read more...] about 3 Underdogs Who Could Win the SEC in 2019
5 Matches You Should Gamble On at the Copa América This Week
I’ve been known to counsel futures gambling as the best way to attack any tournament. To use one common trope as an example, the “Bracketology” sweepstakes of March Madness encourage punters to put down their money on a tremendous long-shot. I suppose there’s no rush of adrenaline quite like nailing 9 picks in a 5-hour span and then trying to pull it off again overnight and … [Read more...] about 5 Matches You Should Gamble On at the Copa América This Week
Why Are Gamblers Flocking to Toronto’s Moneyline for Game 6?
All NBA playoff games tell stories. The pregame betting action tells a tale of its own. Yet in the sport of basketball, there are always a few journalists who are way too obsessed with the big picture to notice the here and now. Kevin Durant attempted to play in Game 5, lighting-up the Toronto Raptors with swished bombs and accurate passes until a ghastly Achilles injury … [Read more...] about Why Are Gamblers Flocking to Toronto’s Moneyline for Game 6?
Finding the Right Betting Market on Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals
I thought of a whole new use for line-forecasting today. Or should I say a new method of handicapping based around odds-forecasting. Forecasting a moneyline is a tactic used to find value in ordinary-looking odds. When a casino puts a price like (-150) on the Golden State Warriors or Toronto Raptors to win, it’s easy to glance at the number and think “the analysts see a … [Read more...] about Finding the Right Betting Market on Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals
FIFA U20 World Cup: A Gambler’s Guide to Team USA’s Bid in the Quarterfinals
Are the French junior and ladies’ teams getting what is known in celebrity circles as “the rub”? We all know France is the defending FIFA World Cup gold medalist, and Les Bleus are a prohibitive favorite in almost every match these days. But the women’s team may be overvalued in Las Vegas for the upcoming Women’s World Cup, and I’m not sure a lot of folks in Europe … [Read more...] about FIFA U20 World Cup: A Gambler’s Guide to Team USA’s Bid in the Quarterfinals
