UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg Odds, Totals, and Predictions
I’m going to assume that most WagerBop readers already know what goes into the “2-legged” Champions League format. But not everyone understands it – in fact I didn’t fully get it until a few years ago. So let’s (very briefly) recap what gamblers are and are not wagering on prior to the back end of this UEFA cycle’s Round of 16. As discussed in our 2020 Champions League … [Read more...] about UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg Odds, Totals, and Predictions
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
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
Matchday 10 Betting Tips: Liverpool Owns EPL Table…But Not the O/U Line
Like a football club surfacing after a dead spell brought-upon by 250,000 college football predictions spring Champions League fatigue, your humble WagerBop pundit won his marquee Monday EPL bet and is eager to tackle a new week of odds. But I also made a faux pas in my general soccer betting tip for Matchday 9, carrying-on about the fabled “52.4%” mark on 50/50 lines – a … [Read more...] about Matchday 10 Betting Tips: Liverpool Owns EPL Table…But Not the O/U Line
Liverpool vs Leicester City: Foxes a Sexy Moneyline Pick on Matchday 8
Now we’re talkin’. WagerBop – or myself, personally – had a lousy week making English football predictions prior to the 6th round of Premier League fixtures. Moneylines might be 3-ways and goal spreads push too often to shoot for 60% accuracy, but punters still rightfully expect at least 6+ prevailing picks or maybe 3-5 bargain-priced jackpots out of 10 sets of markets. … [Read more...] about Liverpool vs Leicester City: Foxes a Sexy Moneyline Pick on Matchday 8
Premier League Matchday 6: Blues Can Save All or Fall vs Liverpool
There are a few common threads in the typical early-season Premier League storylines. Less-heralded clubs will often run-up a nice point tally in August, September and October matches, only to predictably fall back once the real football gets going in winter. Aristocrats will slip, slide and work to improve their lineups before becoming prohibitive favorites in fixtures late in … [Read more...] about Premier League Matchday 6: Blues Can Save All or Fall vs Liverpool
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
Premier League Matchday 2: Vegas Lines and Previews of all 10 Fixtures
Bovada Sportsbook’s SEO team (the people responsible for the page titles you see on your browser, not on the site itself) is calling this U.K. soccer campaign the “English Premiere League.” “Premiere” is of course an old-school Hollywood version of “premier.” But it kind of fits too. English soccer is framed for the fans like a movie (or a soap opera) with emotional “payoff … [Read more...] about Premier League Matchday 2: Vegas Lines and Previews of all 10 Fixtures
