Yee some of the decisions were ridicoulous! Carrol friggin superman punch/clawed mignolet for their goal! To make it worse the linesman even put his flag up and ref just ignored him! Things like tht tht puts me off betting on soccer anymore! Its like the judges constantly screwing up decisions in MMA! Hard to cap tht kind of random bullshit

Yeah that goal had me livid and it ultimately cost me the win. Can't believe he ignored his linesman who had a better view. Thankfully the penalties gave me the push at the least... Soccer can be very frustrating
Sorry haven't been on to check. Pretty pissed I forgot Bilbao played today... I only would've bet Bilbao and left Tott alone but it looks like Tottenham killed it today as well. I am considering taking the live Bilbao -2 but I am hesitant because they may have already done all their damage for the day as an away side. Asking for a third and to hold is a bit much to ask maybe.

I noticed Juventus falls asleep during 2nd halfs, yet my book insisted on setting the line @ o/u 4 at half time.

Yee its quite painful being a juve fan at times...whenever we take a comfortable lead by two goals we dont make any effort to tey and score more..,can only guess tht conte tells them to conserve energy and to just see games out. I imagine it may be different if we werent in Europa still and had nothing else to play for

I've watched the first half and by the flow of the game I would have easily taken Juve -3 seeing how comfortable they were.. I hope they stay consistent like this so I can take em first half all the time

Those who want to tail me but are either confused/overwhelmed by the bet size. My rule of thumb for those who tail me is divide my picks by 10. For a $1700 pick bet $170, an $870 pick is $87, $412.5 is $41.25, etc. I know the average bettor plays around 50-100 for a unit so this is much easier to follow. My bets can get as high as $3500 (rarely).
Or a more simple method is that my higher $$$ picks are my higher valued picks and you can tail my highest value picks. But that is personal discretion.

They get a cushion they get lazy. Sometimes they let the opponent get back into it after goals as well. It's why I took -1.5 instead of -2. I almost always take a lower alternate line with Juve. I know they are capable of winning big but they seem to avoid handing out beatdowns to opponents of obvious lesser skill like the giants of other leagues do consistently.

Dysphoria has been my online "name" for as long as I can remember. I was an old halo 2 pro so the name stuck.

No system. I do look at home/away goal differentials, recent form and reference (in my mind) a lot of previous games I bet on or watched. I watch a lot of games so I have a good grasp on teams. I develop a trend for betting on certain teams as the season goes.
As for my mma picks I am just an mma nerd and watch literally every ufc card top to bottom. Most bellator and wsof main cards as well. It is my favorite sport and I just have a good feel for betting on it.
I picked up nba and NHL this year and have been doing better as the season goes. I do not feel like an expert in either sport though so my plays are not as large usually. I do enjoy watching them and do alright betting actually.

I don't particularly like second legs where teams are up more than one aggregate very much though. Which is both games, changes the way they play.... ill have to think on it.

Do you think Chelsea can score 2 goals? Even tho it's Stamford Bridge, not too confident about it.

Chelsea lacks offensive consistency... That said they will coming out firing. They know they need at least 2. But psg is perfectly aware too and will play accordingly. I think psg +1 is the pick.
Psg +1 -170 $850

you should get the mods to copy this thread in to MMA sub-section as well, or post your mma picks in a separate thread as well in there
