FA Cup Semi-Final Odds: Chelsea vs CPFC Total Goals and City vs Liverpool Prop Bet Picks
Admittedly, it's a tad unorthodox to post an FA Cup preview a week in advance on the same morning 2 of the warring teams - Man City and Liverpool - are preparing to play a crucial league match. But we've got a hunch that the best gambling lines on each FA Cup semi-final bout are already available at online sportsbooks, with the week's interstitial Premier League and … [Read more...] about FA Cup Semi-Final Odds: Chelsea vs CPFC Total Goals and City vs Liverpool Prop Bet Picks
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
FA Cup Betting Odds: 5th-Round Lines, Totals, and Predictions
There’s an editor and graphic designer at WagerBop who, from time to time, politely asks for more UEFA Champions League previews in midst of our site’s weekly English domestic picks. I’m all in favor of that, and collaborated with Nikola Velickovic on a series of UEFA futures and moneyline choices on the upcoming Champions League Round of 16. But I’m drawn to the FA Cup each … [Read more...] about FA Cup Betting Odds: 5th-Round Lines, Totals, and Predictions
Tottenham vs Chelsea: Betting the Changing Premier League Odds on Matchday 18
Strange days are at hand (or afoot, more accurately) in the European football landscape. The biggest story of the week is the riot in Barcelona. How could it not be? Michael Wilbon once reminded a group of Northwestern students, “don’t let anyone ever tell you sports isn’t a serious topic.” It’s situations like Wednesday’s El Clasico that Wilbon had exactly in mind. We sit … [Read more...] about Tottenham vs Chelsea: Betting the Changing Premier League Odds on Matchday 18
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 3 Odds and Preview: Can’t Forget Those Reds
I’ve got to fess up – 2 major boners by WagerBop in the past week can be directly traced to my malfeasance. Baseball fans may have noticed our accurate-yet-misplaced “Chicago White Sox to win” pick at nearly 4-to-1 odds on Monday. The ChiSox did indeed score an upset. However, it was just a filing error – my real 4-to-1 pick was the Detroit Tigers, who lost by 1 … [Read more...] about Premier League Matchday 3 Odds and Preview: Can’t Forget Those Reds
