Well, yeah. I have some credits on an online lottery site, so I was thinking of using those. I don't have a FanDuel nearby, but thanks anyway for the heads up😉

I guess I'm wondering if the lottery doesn't actually offer any options for players to score goals, or maybe I'm just having trouble finding where that would be? 🤷

crimsoncrane26 said:-Maybe because FC Porto is such a steady presence in Europe, whereas PSG feels more like a flash in the pan—I mean, their last two trips into the Champions League or Europa League ended without them even scoring an away goal.
-Or maybe it's just because all the media hype adds to their coefficient and "reputation," and there was definitely no shortage of that kind of buzz around PSG this summer.
-And I guess Portuguese teams, and Portuguese people in general, just seem to have an edge when they go head-to-head against the French.
-Plus, they've got their version of El Clasico against Olympique de Marseille this weekend, and they've already gone on record saying winning the league is their main priority this season...
Basically, I don't think any French team can ever truly be the favorite at Draga

I suppose it's because Portuguese teams, not just Porto, are just really tough at home. They constantly find ways to grab points against teams that look much stronger on paper, which is pretty much what we saw happen yesterday.😉

If you still can't get into your William Hill account after those 30 minutes are up, I guess you might be using the wrong username or password.

Honestly, there’s probably just a glitch on their end. If anyone else is having trouble, maybe try reaching out to them? Just give them the info from your account, and they should send over a temporary password. You'll just need to change it again once you're back in, and that's pretty much it. 🙂

Man, it just gets under my skin, you know? Now I have to call or send an email just to ask why they blocked my account which has $4.00 in it. I’ll probably give them a piece of my mind—I wish they’d at least send a quick email saying, "Hey, we shut you down because of this and that." It reminds me of when AT&T cut me off once; when I called them, they claimed they’d already sent an email notification. Of course, I couldn't even read the email since I was locked out of everything. Honestly, those 😁
don't have any brains.

Please try logging in again in half an hour or click the 'Forgot Password?' link." So, I tried changing my password, but I just get the same message over and over. And of course, this happens right when I actually have some money sitting there...

Same thing happened to me, honestly. I went to reset my password, but the email isn't even showing up in my inbox. Now I’m stuck—I don't know my new password and I can't get in with the old one either. It feels like they're being such idiots; you'd think they'd at least send an email explaining why. Now I guess I'll have to reach out to them and ask what's happening with my account and my cash.🤮div>

Has anyone seen the odds posted for the European Championship yet? I wonder who might actually take it home. And if they aren't out yet, maybe someone knows when they'll be up? 🤷

graniteotter6 said:If you're following the player prop, yeah, you're betting on the two, which means the spread is being adjusted by 7.5 points. So, I guess both you and the player are basically banking on the Lakers to win by at least 8 to clear that 7.5 line.

👍

I mean, whatever, I don't really care too much. It's just one of those things where you try to be sure about what's certain, I guess. Thanks 😉

Hey, can someone please walk me through this? I’m looking at how this is set up in the sportsbook, and honestly, I always mess up these spreads and moneylines...

+7.5/New Jersey-LA Clippers Thu, 2:00 AM 1.85 1.85

So, if I want to take the away team here, I'm betting on the two, right? 🤷

I know it sounds like a pretty silly question, but last time I tried something like this, I ended up totally broke because I misread the line. I figure it's better to ask and look a bit clueless than to just be clueless and lose my money. 😬

🙂

Man, whenever I decide to just write everything out exactly as it is, I feel totally overwhelmed 😢
Maybe it's better to just stay quiet 🙂

Bryan Adams6 I guess there's something to say about this... maybe.
Maybe there's some interesting stuff happening with the BenficaL-Zenit st. matchup. I guess we'll just have to see how it plays out.
Birmingham vs. Chelsea. Maybe an interesting matchup ahead.

Milan Arsenal. Maybe an interesting matchup, I guess.

👍

I guess I actually agree with everything said here... but maybe I should add my own two cents too...

Maybe a Benfica-Zenit double? I guess a 2.25 bet could work.
Arsenal vs. Milan... I think they might both find the back of the net—maybe? Odds are around 1.55.

I guess it looks like 3.49 for the US. Maybe?

I guess I'm on the same page as Bryan Adams6 regarding that first paragraph, but honestly, I'm leaning more toward a double bet at 2.25 odds. It just feels right. I mean, Zenit isn't some small-town underdog; they’ve got solid players and a really great coach. They actually won the first leg too, so they're starting this match from a much better position. I don't really see them blowing it, or even making it difficult for the other side, especially when you look at how poorly Benfica has been playing lately. Sure, the Portuguese teams are always tough to beat at home, but this time around, I think I'll stick with the Russians led by their Italian manager. 🙂

Regarding the second leg, I feel like everything has pretty much been said already. Arsenal really needs to go on the offensive here—it’s basically all or nothing for them, even if they end up losing. As for Milan, there's no way they're just going to sit back and defend, especially not with an attack like theirs and Lionel Messi playing in such incredible form right now. Between Messi and Van Persie's current form, plus what we saw in the first match, I guess it gives me some hope that we might see a massive goal fest from both sides this time around. Because of that, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't bet on both teams to score. 😁

I think I’ll try one more double bet. This time I'm looking at Zenit-Benfica both teams to score plus a Chelsea win. I actually agree with everything Bryan Adams6 said about this. If Benfica takes an early lead, I guess the other side will have to chase the game, especially since Chelsea might run out of steam eventually. Maybe it's just that old roster dealing with all those issues, both on and off the pitch, but usually, things shift a bit after a coaching change, even if they haven't officially landed a new manager yet. I mean, these guys definitely know how to play, and they could probably beat a lower-tier team, though I suppose they might still struggle with that too. 🙂

I might just add a single bet for some lower stakes—AC Milan +0.25 at 2.1. I feel like I really have to take this one; I've got this feeling that Milan won't lose today. Arsenal is starting to find their rhythm again too, they looked pretty solid in their last two matches against some really respectable opponents, but I guess playing in the Premier League is a different beast compared to the style of play you see in the Champions League. Milan is looking sharp as well, and I don't think they're just going to show up to sit back and defend. They know how to attack, they're great on the counter, and they're actually clinical when it matters most, which is huge. This bet seems like a really good value at these odds... anyway, good luck to everyone! 👍

I wonder if Rose actually got hurt or if he just had a really rough game 😕 🤷

Man, so close for Aldridge, if he had just sunk one more basket 🙂

But hey, still a decent night overall 😁

I guess Evans went through 👍

😲

I played the same list, but I haven't even seen yours yet 🤣 😁

I guess I overestimated myself by thinking I'd sweep once they headed into overtime... I wasn't sure if the league counts OT or just the regulation period. Anyway, good night. If the Boston Celtics had just scored two more baskets, things might have been a bit better 😁

Man, I hate this black hole of a night. Lately, it feels like no matter what I play, I always end up losing one pair 🙂 🙂

Jeremy Lee67 said:I guess someone actually nailed this one. It wasn't exactly a wild, crazy parlay, but man, those odds were definitely worth the risk.🤷

Yeah, I did. I actually ended up taking Silin's hockey pick with a slightly higher stake, but I still finished in the red after everything settled. Maybe I shouldn't have gone that big, I guess. 😬

Well, I guess everything just went south. Maybe it was meant to be, who knows? Just my luck, I suppose. 👍

James Taylor3 said:The Pacers built up this massive 16-point lead with just 8 minutes left on the clock, and then everything just fell apart during a six-minute scoring drought. I guess the Nets really pulled off a 16-1 run to bring it down to just three points. 🙂

I think at one point it might have even been 18, but honestly, it was getting late and my math isn't exactly great lately. 😁

Anyway, let's hope they pull it together and close this out. 🙂 🙂

analoggull4 said:What happened to Špoljarić and the Valčić brothers? I guess they just aren't cut out for the national team anymore?

I was wondering the exact same thing, actually. A buddy of mine asked me where they ended up today, and I honestly had no clue. Just stood there looking pretty clueless myself.🤷

When I saw our guys celebrating that third-place finish, I honestly thought to myself, who am I to say anything? That bronze medal? Major respect to them. I mean, I know they probably wanted to face the Mexicans and make it all the way to the finals to grab the gold just as much as we did, but hey, life happens. It didn't go our way, so what? Honestly, in two weeks, nobody is even going to remember this. I don't deal with those kinds of complexes; if anyone wants to be miserable about it, they can do it on their own time. I’m tipping my hat to them—really, I am. I might have been tearing into Keta and Kopljara earlier, but now I’m giving them props too. Seriously, you guys did great, and I'm just really proud of you. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Top tier!!! 👍
