FA Cup Final Predictions: Chelsea vs Arsenal Odds, Total, and Prop Bets
There is an element of truth in any effective humor. The 2018-19 FA Cup gave birth to the wonderful "Don't Mug Off The Cup" ad campaign, modeled loosely after Vaudeville cinema like Mr. Payback. An art exhibitor jokes that connoisseurs are not missing real English football on TV, "just the FA Cup," followed by an impish mascot in an FA Cup suit - the "Mugged-Off Cup" - sending … [Read more...] about FA Cup Final Predictions: Chelsea vs Arsenal Odds, Total, and Prop Bets
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
Premier League Odds and Previews: Chelsea a Weird Favorite vs Everton on Sunday
Well – as Robin Williams put it in Bicentennial Man – that won’t do. Our soccer blog has bounced back from losing weeks a number of times in a long English Premier League season, and as a veteran handicapper I’m supposed to keep the faith and believe in the process until things turn around. Yet I am also reminded of the “patience mythology” that infects other sports and hobbies … [Read more...] about Premier League Odds and Previews: Chelsea a Weird Favorite vs Everton on Sunday
Premier League: Arsenal vs Newcastle Odds Create Betting Puzzle on Matchday 26
The shadiest reasons why English Premier League football dominates the sports landscape are well-chronicled. Even casual supporters know that the top-level clubs in England (and a few other aristocrats around Europe) soak up most of the best veteran talent and corner the competition. There's lots of big oil money to play around with, for 1 thing. (Just read Arsenal's … [Read more...] about Premier League: Arsenal vs Newcastle Odds Create Betting Puzzle on Matchday 26
Premier League Betting Lines: Aston Villa vs Leicester and 9 Other Matchday 16 Picks
Forget all that jazz about the Premier League calendar setting-up well for handicaps and blog posts as of a week ago. This is the time of year when the EPL schedule begins losing the plot. Playing catch-up after a few scattered breaks for international football, the Premiership will now undertake a flurry of 3 Matchdays within less than a 10-day span. Manchester United, for … [Read more...] about Premier League Betting Lines: Aston Villa vs Leicester and 9 Other Matchday 16 Picks
Premier League Odds and Predictions: Chelsea’s Sharp Action vs City on Matchday 13
My touts on the Premiership tend to be posted pretty late in the week, and I’ll cop to a bit of personal responsibility for tardy publish times. (The constant crush of American football deadlines this time of year doesn’t help a whole lot.) However, it’s also handy – and makes articles more interesting – to wait until Thursday or Friday to see what the totality of London and … [Read more...] about Premier League Odds and Predictions: Chelsea’s Sharp Action vs City on Matchday 13
Premier League Matchday 7: Red Devils, Gunners Cap Week on Tight Moneyline
I’ve got to face up to it. I got the English Premier League very, very wrong on Matchday 6. My record in FIFA is pretty shiny, and I’m still a winner in club football, but man o’ man, a handicapper or 3 has had better days than I did when it the tallies were all counted last weekend. I thought Spurs would handle Leicester City, and after Harry Kane’s goal in the 29th … [Read more...] about Premier League Matchday 7: Red Devils, Gunners Cap Week on Tight Moneyline
English Premier League Matchday 4 Preview: Citizens and Reds Among the Vulnerable?
Sometimes 2 different angles can lead to the same conclusion. For instance, I am personally in favor of universal health care, but not due to a belief in collectivist governance or in professional services as rights. Rather I feel that abiding medical care for all is a moral choice that humanity must make if civilization is to flourish – a building block of a peaceful society. … [Read more...] about English Premier League Matchday 4 Preview: Citizens and Reds Among the Vulnerable?
