    Liverpool vs Wigan

    Ok, so I'm not much on Soccer, but I have been looking and found something interesting so here is what im thinking of doing.

    I bet on Liverpool ML $178 to win $100 @ Pinnacle = $178 Risked

    I also bet on Draw +302 @ 5Dimes Risk $100 to win $302

    So I would stand to win 0 and lose 0 if liverpool wins, but if it's a draw I win $122

    So basically what I will manage to do is get a free Draw bet on this match.

    Since the opinion and my research suggests that either Liverpool wins or it's a draw? Wigan has very little chance of winning correct?


    Is this a stupid idea or is there some merit to it?

    Thanks for the upcoming input guys.

    understand what you are doing. Not a bad call on this. think liver will win this game. but if they don't and lose you have lost both bets..I have done this a couple of times. worked out some not sure if i won or lost units. I am sure someone in here has a % of how this works. Will be interesting to see what people think..BOL to you.. In my case i hope liver wins to finish a big parlay for me..

    I think your bet is very safe. I don't see how Liverpool can loose this game with Gerrard, Torres, Benayoun and Kuyt (basically the entire creative offense of Liverpool) on the field. Yes Liverpool are still not as solid as they should be, but they are under pressure with a lot of key players back in the squad.

    That's what I was thinking so in essence it turns into a free bet on the draw. We'll see how it play out.

    Gerrard is being out played by 19 year old Irish midfielder McCarthy.

    Torres has been quiet.

    Kuyt keeps giving the ball away.

    That was a terrible 45 minutes.

    there downfall started when they had to sell Alonso... Liverpool have been poor away all season so no huge suprises here. I also need them to turn this around though

    Rafa warms up a right back that has been injured for a month when he is down 1-0. I know Johnson attacks more than he defends, but an attacking right back is not Liverpool's most pressing need right now.

    Has Liverpool even had a good shot this half? They can't create anything in the attacking third.

    Worse game ever. Liverpool played like idiots and clearly they are the superior team. Wigan showed incompetence all over the pitch and still managed to look better than Liverpool. Torres is a toolbag

    I can only blame myself for betting on that team this season. Last year they were a winning machine away but no longer.

    It's pretty much official. Liverpool are going to Europa League next year, not the CL or 4th spot.
