Upcoming Lawn Farie Event- Champions
Gillian Rodsuine, ex soccer odds maker and now the Billy Walters of soccer betting today angered Western media, "now that the circus is over in Indianapolis, the real tournament resumes. The Champions League. You make such a fuss about the big Super Bowl betting numbers when the soccer betting world makes it look like a child in diapers."
Unlike our Billy Walters, Mr. Rodsuine is more vocal and more seen in public and does not shy away admitting to very large losses or wins. He does keep his wagers under the radar, but does not lose sleep if his tips spread like wild fire. "In futbul when you are on the right side, you will get the win. So I am happy when people make money, but if I lose them money there is nothing I can do."
With the Champions League knockout stage beginning next week, the entire world will be focused on this tournament. It is a far reach to ridicule any event that has staggering amounts of money wagered like the Super Bowl. Sure it is true that just the first leg of next weeks Champions League matches can have more money bet than the Super Bowl alone, but there are many reasons for that. Soccer is the worlds sport and always will be, and is by far the most wagered sport in the world. To make a comparison, a regular season match between Manchester United and Chelsea generates more wagers than the AFC Championship, NFC Championship, and Final Four March Madness games COMBINED!
But, that is the culture. It is a legal culture of the world's most popular sport. In soccer stadiums around the world the second most popular advertisements in stadiums are sports books behind beer. Every continent bets on soccer, and the fact it is legal in soccer dominated countries helps. True every year the Champions League even surprises us with their betting numbers. There are many factors why so much more money is wagered on Champions League, and most important is legal issues!
The good news is that because of the liquidity in the soccer markets, it also makes it the easiest to win. Access to information is that much easier, and our Champions League, World Cup, and Euro Cup records speak for themselves.
Mr. Rodsuine reported won over 11 million in the last two years of Champions League matches. "I have been fortunate that the last several years the superior teams had great match ups. This years knockout stage is definitely more challenging than the last several years, but I still ask myself how in the world did some of these lower class clubs get here, and it will be betting versus them where my exposure will be."
