Monday Premier League Odds: Total-Goals Betting on Tottenham vs Man City
2018 has marked my first real effort at handicapping the FIFA World Cup and the English Premier League. I’ve won money for gamblers, but have also made some really embarrassing mistakes. Once, during a World Cup preview, I accidentally called Portugal the “Red Fury” while referencing Ronaldo, thereby lining-up the great attacker up front for the Spanish. Oh, how Spain wishes … [Read more...] about Monday Premier League Odds: Total-Goals Betting on Tottenham vs Man City
Chelsea vs United: Unbeaten Blues Favored vs Chaotic Red Devils

Liverpool vs Manchester City: Reds are Vegas Favorites in Showdown of Top Squads
It’s easy to tell a true fan when you meet one. True fans don’t necessarily parade their colors around town, loudly boasting about their favorite squad’s recent triumph.

A.F.C. Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace Analysis and Moneyline Pick
It’s nice that the Premier League throws a reliably-timed bone to its viewing audiences in North and South America. Not to say that there aren’t lots of us here in the United States who are addicted to waking up in the morning, or – ahem – waiting up all night for the EPL’s broadcasts on the NBC network.
