Just like I said. Nothing more to add, nothing to take away. 🙂

So you're complaining because I didn't ask them to stop posting this junk?
If I actually put out a request, everyone loses their minds about me making requests. If I don't, you complain that I didn't. 😵 🤷

George Barnes25, not too long ago I mentioned this was a request, not a rule. Since we're talking about a request, these posts don't actually break any rules, so there won't be any penalties.

The first half looks pretty tempting to me.

As for Slaven

We’re going to miss Rak and Purić since they didn't suit up against Rijeka, plus Canada is dealing with three yellow cards. Šaban is out with an injury, and Geng came down with a sudden fever.

Honestly, I have no clue how much those guys actually matter. Waiting on Bryan Adams6 and DEM to weigh in.

The insiders say they can't wait to get started; Krstičević is feeling good about it. This is only their fourth home game, but they should have plenty of help from the crowd acting as a 12th man. 🤷

@pingvin-zd, what's your take?

@zoom, what about Manchester City?
Against Real Madrid, they couldn't put a single shot on goal in the first half, though they opened up a bit in the second. Not sure if they'll have enough gas in the tank for a shootout today. 🤷

It’s not a simple yes or no. Depends on what you’re looking for and how you play. Pinnacle has the best odds if you're sticking to singles, but their parlay options aren't anything to write home about.
If you're picking an online sportsbook, check if they actually offer the markets you care about first, then look at the odds. Most of them let you browse the full menu without even logging in.

It didn't even say anything about AH, and comparing these two handicaps is just apples and oranges.

stormyseal9, look, everything regarding the rules has already been laid out. I don't see any point in dragging this "rules" thread out further.

The part about the chat was discussed here too. We haven't actually implemented a rule about analysis in the chat yet—this is just a request:

Joshua Garcia8 said:Guys, please stop trying to bypass the subforum rules via the chat. The chat isn't meant for dumping parlays/tickets, and it looks like some people are doing exactly that. Specifically looking at socis85, GeC666, and stormyseal9, who post nothing but picks. Don't force us to make rules for the chat too.

Thanks

Joshua Garcia8 said:To avoid any confusion, misunderstandings, or whatever other nonsense theories pop up, this request applies to everyone—those mentioned earlier, plus zoom, the agents, Zalmonik, and everyone else.

I really don't get why it's so hard to write one single sentence explaining why you're playing something. Just ONE sentence?

Again, this is a request. Please don't make us implement formal chat rules.

And there was yesterday's request

Joshua Garcia8 said:Hey everyone 🙂
I've got some real-life stuff going on, so I'm not around much and I'm barely posting, but I read everything—and I'm not a fan of seeing you guys tossing picks around in the chat again. 😢
I don't get this habit of just dropping picks; it wouldn't be hard to include which letter 🤷 Please stop doing this.

As for those posts where people were just listing picks, they weren't banned or deleted, so I honestly have no idea what the issue is.

So, we didn't set a rule for the chat topic; it's purely a request.

Alright guys, here’s 🙏🙏 for you to chew on. Keep 'em coming.
If I start trolling, mods, feel free to ban/delete 😬

Regarding yesterday's game, anything could happen. Not sure how the home team is playing, but our guys still look totally lost out there—just wandering around aimlessly. Given the mess, I'm passing on this one.

edit:
though betting on the Philippines might actually pay off, if you're feeling gutsy enough for a bigger stake 🍿

silverviper3 said:Got a red card and 30 infraction points yesterday. Does that mean I have 70 left? What happens next? How long does this last? I need to ask stuff pretty often.

It means you’re sitting on a 30-point infraction right now. If you rack up another 70 points over the next 30 days, you'll get a 3-day ban from the forum.

You can find all the specifics regarding cards and durations here.

Please try to actually read the subforum rules before posting. You don't need to start a whole new thread for every single question—you opened three unnecessary threads in just five minutes yesterday.

You missed the actual Q&A thread, but at least you didn't make a brand new one. 😉

edit:
Correction, it was four threads, not three. 🙂

silverridge3 said:You can do that at any foreign sportsbook. I was betting on DraftKings about a month ago and just picked whatever currency I wanted.

Sure, you can, but the real question is if it's actually worth it. It all depends on what currency is sitting in your account versus what you're using to withdraw from DraftKings or PayPal. Honestly, the best move is to keep everything in the same currency so you don't get eaten alive by conversion fees.

Look, my friend, it’s just not going to work that way... before they release any funds, they have to be certain you're actually you. Since you're clearly trying to pass yourself off as someone else, they're sending over scanned documents. Did you even put the right info in during registration? Like, does your address match what's on the ID, or your birthday? It's gotta line up perfectly.

Samuel Phillips3 said:I think my old man used a credit card to deposit.

Better double-check. Everything depends on that for the payout, then we can move forward. Did they ask for docs? Did anyone call you?

How can you not change the language? Just go to Services > Members, hit My Account, then Preferences, and there's Language. Change it, click Update, and you're done.
As for the fees, I think there’s a breakdown somewhere else on this thread. How have you been funding things—card, MB, PP, or what?

Carl Castillo69 said:checking the betting odds on
HL Wales-Belgium 2 1.90
Canada-Switzerland 2 2.50

decent lines. Even though they're playing away, Belgium and Switzerland should absolutely crush these two. 🤷

worth taking the risk? $67?

They've already done the math for the qualifiers, right?

Please stop mentioning specific amounts, and maybe take a second to actually read this subforum's rules.

Stabauer-Rosenberg: Both teams to score - NO @ 2.15 (SS)

First one catching my eye today. Worst offense meets the best defense. Stabauer is struggling at home—only 8 goals in their last ten matches, which is less than one per game. Honestly, I don't see them breaking through a Rosenberg side that's finally finding its rhythm. Plus, the odds are just too good to pass up on this pick.

Good luck!

Not sure why you think this is a solid bet; they've actually been scoring more often than not.🤷
If you're leaning towards them not scoring, the same SS shows the team total for the home side to be under 1 goal at 2.50.

edit:
looks like William Doyle7 already posted this.🙂

Justin Fowler29 said:Looks complicated 😁

Actually, it's pretty straightforward 🤷 if you take those three pairs (A, B, and C)—when you play a 2,3/3 Trixie, you end up with 4 slips:
1. one slip with all the picks (A+B+C)
2. a slip with A+B
3. a slip with A+C
4. a slip with B+C

Justin Fowler29 said:So what does a 2.3/3 actually mean?

I already explained how Trixie works, but here’s the breakdown again.

Joshua Garcia8 said:Yeah, you got it. If you want a standard bet, you just play an X-fold accumulator (where X is the total number of picks).

For a Trixie, you get the standard single accumulator from those 3 picks plus all the doubles within them.
Like, if I pick three games—A, B, and C—and go with a Trixie, I'll get:
1. One single ticket containing all picks (A+B+C)
2. 3 doubles:
A+B
A+C
B+C

btw Bet365 has this new interface for live betting (personally, I dig it way more than the old one). It's loaded with all kinds of match stats, and even player subs (with card details) 🙏Update
.
Anyway, good luck to everyone using HL, SS, and the rest. 🙂

Bryan Adams6 said:What do you mean you didn't get anything if EVERYTHING already went through? 🤷

Since you're calling me out... I didn't put in that much, but I did add one of your pairs. 😛🙂

Joshua Garcia8 said:In stock. 🤣
I just need the ones that actually work. 🙂 Looking good so far.
The Dutch giants. Honestly, just massive.AZ Alkmaar (Sept 2nd, 2:30 PM) — Taking the home win at 1.50. Simple enough.
Both played on August 30th. Alkmaar got absolutely demolished at home, and PSV just cruised through them with a massive blowout. Away from home, they’re a total disaster, but at their own stadium? PSV is unstoppable.

The big club in Istanbul. Hard to miss them.Bursaspor vs. [Local Team Name] (Sept 2, 7:30 PM) — Betting on a home win at 1.50. Let's see if my luck holds up.
They played those UEFA qualifiers on August 30th and went all the way to extra time. That’s gotta take a toll. No way they've fully recovered in just two days. Plus, they're terrible on the road compared to how they play at home.

This looks pretty good to me, too. SteauaBukThe odds on Oțelul Galați being at 1.50? Maybe. Only the Stars played all 30 minutes, but I doubt they burned much fuel. Could’ve just been a decent little warmup for them. 🤷

It’s all over. And I actually came out ahead. 🙂 Bottom line—don't overthink it. Just put the money down and see what happens.
