DJ, I have a question on how to wgaer.  On Pinnacle, the default for two of the games was a double handicap.  Am I better to take that, or choosing the line you gave?  The two games were Kaiserslautern and Palermo.  I ended up splitting with Kaiserslautern and getting both sides with Palermo.  Is the juice that much better? 


Do what you please but obviously for tracking purposes, I endorse what is posted and nothing else. I try to stay away from the 'double handicaps', I'm not a fan.

Thanks.  I'm new at betting soccer, just finding all the games is a challenge. 

Looking forward to the hockey tonight.  As someone from Ontario, are you a Leafs fan?  Old timey matchup tonight vs Habs.

Curious to see whether Habs can maintain their torrid O/U.  It is at 7-20 now, but has been flattening out a bit in the last week.  I think is was 4-19 at one point.  They are 1-10 after a loss, so it should be tight.

I'm a die-hard Leafs fan but never really bet for or against them.

Tough for me to bet on a team I really like a lot.  It takes all the fun out of it.  When the Als won the Grey Cup, I was pissed because they didn't cover

DJ, pardon my ignorance.  Still on a steep learning curve here when it comes to soccer wagering.

Juvuntus Lazio - Does 02 refer to 'over 2 goals'?
Trabzonspor - Pinnacle has it listed at -0.5, 1.87.  
Freiberg is the same. 
Twente at pk, 1.63,
Xanthi pk 1.68.

Are these correct?  I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

I would appreciate your help.

Wow, I did my best, but I only have half of the games in.

I couldn't find Munchen, Twente, or Xanthi in their respective leagues, and Monaco/St Etienne did not offer the draw option.

This is going to take a bit of time to get used to.  Hopefully the ones I did get in will pay off.

MJ - O2 is indeed referring to the over/under.  So in that case it Juvuntus/Lazio Over 2 goals (-170).  For Trabzonspor and Freiberg; those are referring to the moneyline.  The -0.5 you're seeing for Trabzonspor is the spread.

If DJ has something like: Team A (-110) then it would be a moneyline bet.  If it says: Team A 'pk' or Team A '+1' then it is a spread bet.

The difference between 'pk' and the moneyline is with a 'pk' bet you lose if the outcome of the match is a draw.  Unlike the moneyline bet which would be a push.

Hope that helps, BOL today.

DJ - Feel free to slap me if I got any of that wrong.

These games are European. At 5AM PST some of them had already started. It is no one's responsibility to hold your hand through your sports-betting life. No one cares whether you got all your bets in or not, except you. Googling any team will show what league they in. GL.

Hmmm. Not sure I was looking for hand holding, nor was I complaining  Asking for a bit of advice ain't quite the same thing. 
In the post you quote I was just trying to express that soccer wagering is new for me.

Go easy on the Darwinism, willya?

On a related note, thanks for your advice, Nagelan.

Yup Nagelan got it covered everything (Thanks for the explanation BTW) and paul_scholes is right, albeit a bit aggressive, but it's only because there have been many people who have had troubles finding the plays when it's really not all that difficult. Like he said, just google the play and it will bring up the country they are playing in -- go to Pinny and find that country and if it's not in the "first" division then it's very likely in the "second" because I rarely cap third leagues or below.

Google has been my avenue to finding the picks.  It takes a bit of time, but by the end of my first coffee, all is done.  I did take into account the time difference, but some of these games start really early.  Was not aware of that.

I am a quick study, so the wtf posts will only last a couple of days, I promise.

https://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/scores

^ ESPN's soccer page.

It will show all the games and scores for the current day.  You can also click on a different date from the calendar on the right hand side.  Makes it pretty easy to find the teams/leagues, etc.

I get up at insanely early hours, so that will be my plan.

I notice Pinnacle has a 'Games Today' section in soccer, and it seems to list most everything that is happening.  This function could become my new best friend.

That's how I pick my soccer games on Pinnacle, just click on Soccer - Today's Games and your shortened list is right there.


I can't believe it, but I just hit a 7-game NFL Teaser. Last game was Under 43.5 in NE/CHI and it was 36-7 with 8:43 left in the 3RD quarter! Whatever the opposite of a bad beat is, I just nailed it! A sick 8-1 payout, it's a great day!!

  Congrats!  As many have said, it would be great if you started a thread.  I would love to learn from you.
