The disaster that is ... my soccer/football/futbol picks

[ParlayininHTown]

This will probably get ugly. I want to see how bad things get now that the major European leagues are kicking off again.

Most of my soccer bets are tails or degenerate stabs in the dark. I bet all kinds of leagues for fun, but my main focus in this thread will be on EPL, A-League, J-League (only for rare late-night action) MLS, and various European and domestic cup competitions (Europa League, Champions League, FA Cup, Copa del Rey, etc.).

For your own sake, do not tail these picks. Don't say you weren't warned.

English Premier League: Stoke City at Liverpool -- DRAW (+360)
Risking $50.00 to win $180.00


Good luck, fellas. Well, not if you're going against me. haha.

I'm not really looking for wins. I'm just happy to see EPL back. Nothing beats waking up and having action already ongoing, and that's what EPL provides for me on weekend mornings this time of year.

Great win for Villa at Arsenal. Loved the energy they played with today. If they can re-create that consistently, they won't have to sweat relegation this season.

Brother, brother, brother. Don't say things like this. Soccer picks are some of the hardest. They do not reflect how you swim through life. It is one thing to be critical about yourself but I'm sure you win in many other ways in life man. Don't beat yourself up. Confidence is good when making picks too.

Just watched those City highlights, a couple of suspect goals where Hart did NOTHING. It hurts when the big teams draw or lose but that's the craziness of soccer.

[ParlayininHTown]

Thanks for the encouragement.

The good news is there is only one more match for me to lose money on tonight.

[ParlayininHTown]

I've been waiting for this match all week. I planned to go large on this all along, but today's beatdown has me convinced I'm going to get destroyed. Fortunately, I'm single with no kids and no social life, and I make enough money to burn a lot on pointless sports betting. This is the closest thing to "fun" I'll have in months ... until it's 0-0 at halftime ... and then in the 73rd minute ... and the 80th minute.

Pound the under, and thank me later.

[Bluedragon]

Good luck man. With you in spirit (and SPIRITS) bruv. I hate when I like a game and then think "make some extra coin to pound that game with" and then lose on the road up to that game and kick my own ass for not just waiting for the spot to come to me and hit it hard. I have become more disciplined and wait for the spot to come to me instead of constantly trying to find the spot. I have been where your body and soul are at right now and it's not fun bruv, but i'm gonna root this one in for ya. Smoke a tang and have a sip of something and let the goals come to you, don't kill your fun by stressing them too much homeboy. Much love brother let's get this money!
