I understand the thought process but I think too many guys try to be "sharp" by constantly taking crazy under dogs. For example, in tennis, I will do live in play betting laying chalk everytime to hold serve especially early in a set. Say you get a Djokovich/ Nadal final at Wimbleton. There will be 1 break a set and usually they will come late so betting heavy early in a set pays. I think people get unfairly ripped by taking favorites. Don't get me wrong, i wouldn't lay -280 or something in a baseball game though. I think some bets, the win % is so high, you pull the trigger.
No offense Jdeuce but the USA won the one game they are winning in this world cup. They shouldn't have even beat a totally unorganized Ghana team. I hope your right I will be cheering with you but keep your cash in your pocket
Nah. Think Portugal is pretty banged up right now. Ronaldo isn't at 100% and they may have four new starters because of injuries. US will sit back, let Portugal chase a result in the God awful jungle heat and then convert one of their counter chances later in the match.
The US needs a win from this game if Ghana gets a result against Germany tomorrow. If Ghana manages to win, which isn't entirely out of the question IMO, then the Portugal game becomes a must-win for the US.
I just think there are exceptions. I don't know enough about soccer to know how sure this bet was. Personally, if I could afford it with my current knowledge, likely I wouldn't do it as I feel these games are a complete toss up. I mean they play for 90 minutes and the best team in world cup could easily draw the worst team in world cup.
When I was betting soccer about 7 years ago 5dimes lines were almost always the best. Which book is the sharp soccer book now?
I see Ladbrokes is begging for Argentine money as they have Argentina at -667 while the other books have -738 on up. Ladbrokes also is only paying +600 for a draw and +1600 for an Iran win.
