Is anyone else having trouble moving money from their online accounts to their bank via PayPal? I'm trying to transfer funds from my PayPal balance over to my Chase account, but it keeps getting rejected and throwing an error message. Anyone else dealing with this right now?

So, I’m processing my first withdrawal from Bet365 today. My plan is to move the funds over to PayPal, transfer them to a German bank account, and then just pick up the cash at a local branch. I heard a rumor somewhere that certain banks allow you to withdraw those funds without having to deposit them back into your account first. Has anyone here tried something similar?

So, here’s my plan: I’m looking to play on sites like DraftKings, BetMGM, FanDuel, and BetRivers. I’ve already moved some funds over to one of them using Paysafecard. Since I don't have a massive bankroll for betting, my strategy is to keep my money in Skrill and just transfer it to whichever sportsbook is offering the best odds for my specific bets that day. Once I hit a win, I’ll just move the cash back to Skrill.

The issue is that my Skrill account is currently set up in dollars. I’m assuming they’re going to hit me with conversion fees every single time I try to deposit into a sportsbook that operates in a different currency. Would the smartest move be to just close this account and open a new one specifically in euros, or will they still find a way to charge me fees even then?

Arsenal FC vs Tottenham Hotspur over 2.5 goals at 2.00 (HL)

The North London derby is coming up, featuring two sides whose entire philosophy centers on outscoring the opposition rather than playing for a clean sheet. Arsenal has found the back of the net in 28 of their last 29 matches, but they always seem to find a way to concede one too, and honestly, I think we’ll see them give up a goal to Tottenham today as well.

Arsenal's attack is led by an inspired Olivier Giroud, a very sharp Theo Walcott and Lukas Podolski, the creative duo of Santi Cazorla and Tomas Rosicky, and the lately brilliant Aaron Ramsey. On the other side, Tottenham brings Soldad, Kyle Lennon, Erik Lamela, and Paulinho. Bale won't be playing today since his transfer to Real Madrid is being finalized.

Tottenham hasn't looked particularly brilliant in front of the goal, even though they have a perfect six points. Their goal difference is just 2-0, and both those goals actually came from penalties, but history is on the side of this bet. Just look at the results from the last few years in this North London rivalry.

March 3, 2013: Tottenham vs Arsenal 2-1

Since I actually support this club, I won't be placing a bet on this specific match myself, but I do think it looks quite likely—maybe as part of a parlay. Good luck to everyone following 🙂

Matchup: SO4 - Bayern | Over 2, 2.30, or Double Chance X2 at 1.50 (Parlay)

So, we’re looking at the first round of the US Open Cup. Both sides are facing lower-division opponents here. It is worth noting that while Schalke's opponent is playing at home, Bayern has to play in Osnabrück because their own stadium doesn't meet the necessary standards. In either scenario, the gap in talent is massive. Bayern has so much depth and competition within the squad that they'll be fighting for spots even in a game like this—I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them put up double digits. Schalke will likely run up the score too, but I doubt they'll outscore Bayern. You can tell by looking at the lines: the total goal margin for Schalke is set at 3.5 with the over paying 1.30, whereas for Bayern it's 4.5 with the over at 1.35. Given that the odds for the total goals in the matchup itself are essentially identical for both top-tier teams, this is definitely a play worth making.

U20 World Cup

USA vs. Iraq
Here is the USA roster for this World Cup:

1 - Sam Johnstone (Man. United)
2 - Gael Bigirimana (Newcastle)
3 - Daniel Potts (West Ham)
4 - Jon Flanagan (Liverpool)
5 - Eric Dier (Sporting CP)
6 - Conor Coady (captain) (Liverpool)
7 - James Ward-Prowse (Southampton)
8 - Larnell Cole (Man. United)
9 - Harry Kane (Leicester)
10 - Chris Long (Everton)
11 - Adam Reach (Middlesbrough)
12 - George Long (Sheffield Utd.)
13 - Connor Ripley (Middlesbrough)
14 - John Stones (Everton)
15 - Jamaal Lascelles (Nott. Forest)
16 - Tom Thorpe (Man. United)
17 - Luke Williams (Middlesbrough)
18 - John Lundstram (Everton)
19 - Alex Pritchard (Tottenham)
20 - Luke Garbutt (Everton)
21 - Ross Barkley (Everton)

These aren't exactly household names that make your head spin, but if you follow the Premier League closely, you'll recognize about half of them. They are all solid young players who get regular minutes in the Premier League or various cup competitions. Bigirimana is a starter for Newcastle, Potts serves as backup at West Ham, and both Barkley and Ward-Prowse are seeing decent playing time at Everton and Southampton respectively, along with Dier over at Sporting...

It’s worth noting that this specific age group won the U17 European Championship back in 2010.

As for Iraq, I have to admit I don't know much. All I know is that their senior national team isn't much to write home about, so I can only imagine what this U20 squad looks like. Leading up to this tournament, they played two friendlies, beating New Zealand 5-3 and drawing 1-1 against El Salvador.

Overall, I think taking the USA at odds of 1.60 offers some value. However, since we are dealing with youth levels and I'm not deeply briefed on the specifics here, I'm going to stick to a moderate play.

USA U20 vs. Iraq U20 1 @1.60

Stake: 5/10

Brazil vs. Egypt handicap -1 | 1 | 1.65

Brazil is on a completely different level here. They’ve got stars like Rafael (Man Utd), Thiago Silva (PSG), Marcelo (Real Madrid), Sandro (Tottenham), Damiao (Internacional), Oscar (Chelsea), Neymar (Santos), Hulk (Porto), Ganso (Santos), and Pato (AC Milan). Compare that to Egypt, where almost everyone plays in their domestic league, aside from Hegazy (Fiorentina) and Salah (Basel). If you know, you know. ☕

crven Zvezda-Naftan | 1 | 1.20

Word is the Marakana will be packed. I really think once the crowd gets going, the boys are going to absolutely dismantle those Belarusians. It's worth noting that Naftan hasn't been looking great in their own league lately, so they'll probably prioritize domestic play over the Europa League, where they have a 99% chance of getting knocked out anyway.

Elfsborg vs. Dacia | 1 | 1.35

Elfsborg is incredibly tough to beat at home—they're sitting at 7-1-0 in the league right now. I expect them to take care of the Moldavians, who have had a long journey to get here, especially since they aren't used to playing on artificial turf. Elfsborg dropped their first match 1-0, so they won't be taking any chances today. ☕
