    Please Don't Bet Soccer If You Do Not Follow it
    Disturbing to see Americans betting it, it is a complex game to bet on with complex lines. I doubt many Americans really have a clue when they make bets on it. It takes years to get a feel for game and lines so I advise not to even bet it.

    JJ , should I retire at it since I am 2-0 on soccer ? Made my first 2 bets yesterday.


    Worst sport I have ever seen to watch , saw like 5 minutes of the game. What people get out of this sport is beyond me.

          Pretty high line on under today, must be setting everyone up for some scoring today.

                Good advice JJ, some of those Euro books have easily 30+ props on big games (just how the heck does one figure out if there will be 5 or 8 or 11 corner kicks in a game??), close the sportsbook section of the book and head to the casino when soccer is on.

                  Worst sport you'd ever watched? I'm not a bit surprised since you DUMB Americans don't really know how to appreciate football (most parts of the world called it football and not soccer).

                        I love soccer...you get a full baseball game's worth of action in 45+ straight minutes, no commercials. Then, 15 minutes later they do it all again.

                        There's not as much scoring, but there's so much going on. It's really like a dynamic chess match

                            U must make the plays while the clock is ticking ... any other sport .. u can call a time out and make the team understand where you want them to go.

                            Football is the only game in which you must be creative and restructure withn seconds

                                  Yeah I can't understand why they'd named American Football as Football when the fact of the matter is players use more of their hands than their feet to play the football.

                                          I hate Brooklyn lived here all my life.

                                          As for soccer, anytime there's a +400 dog versus a -115 the dog always f*cking wins, onl when you lay like -250 or more you can be more sure to win. Especially when it's like a +285 dog vs a +110. I just bet the sport blind no clue about it.

                                                  It is all a matter of culture ,

                                                  In Central AMERICA soccer is the world , its a way of life , its a passion..... they think NFL is kinda interesting but in the end gay

                                                  In North AMERICA NFL football is the same way.... they think soccer is kinda cool but overall gay


                                                  Soccer is the major sport in over 30 countries...
                                                  Nfl is the major spory in over 1 and half
                                                  US and all the US folks in Iraq

                                                  Soccer is an interesting sport I used to play for the US youth squad back in the day and then played in costa rica semi pros league.

                                                  But the fact of the matter is there is no timeouts , no regrouping , no countless amounts of subs.

                                                  Its one of the fastest paced games around.

                                                  I can understand if for some of you guys soccer isnt interesting due to your background or were you grew up or how you were raised amongst an NFL loving family.. get my point?

                                                  Fact is soccer has the most intense and passionate following in the world
