No clue—I just got an email notification about it a few days ago. They haven't limited me, though I have to admit I'm betting much less than I used to. Most of my action is on the NBA anyway, so I haven't noticed any changes to my max stakes.
Eric Fox7 said:A little something to consider for today's matchup between Atletico and Real—the second leg of this cup semifinal—where the home side is trying to claw back from a massive 3-0 deficit from the first game. Real hasn't lost at the Vicente Calderon since 1999—that’s nearly 15 years. 🙏 Since then, they've managed 13 wins and 2 draws (including 7 straight victories lately).
Interesting note: back in '99, Atletico was sitting in 19th place and ended up getting relegated. 🤣 I did a quick dive into their history—their last championship run was actually back in the mid-90s.
And even this stat tells a story.
Both teams play an aggressive, high-octane style—so over 2.5 goals might be the smartest play here.
Gerald Jones56 said:I'm about to fund my DraftKings account—can I use a foreign currency card for the deposit, but then switch things up and withdraw via PayPal?
I noticed someone mentioned earlier that most sportsbooks insist on paying out to the exact same account used for deposits. Does that mean my plan won't fly?
From what I know, DraftKings gives you more flexibility with withdrawals—they aren't as rigid about matching the deposit method as FanDuel is.
I’d like to see some actual screenshots of these pathetic limits—I find it hard to believe that just a handful of us on this PDF can't actually push the sportsbooks to act like that.
I don't know much about these specific rosters—but I do know this is a heated Old Firm derby. You've got one side representing Catholics and the other Protestants; the rivalry is massive. Personally, I'd steer clear of it—these matches are notoriously volatile and frequently defy any logic suggested by the league standings.
driftingotter47 said:The guy managed eight goals in over a hundred MLS matches...
... and most of those came from a defensive midfield position. Besides—as if goal counts are some definitive metric of quality. By that logic, Luka Modrić would be garbage. 🤷
driftingotter47 said:He isn’t exactly hitting it out of the park—only three goals this season. Sure, he’s important, but I wouldn't say he's the backbone of the squad. And Chago... I have nothing good to say about him. He’s completely useless.
I think you’re being a bit harsh on Chago. During his time at LA Galaxy, he was top-tier until that groin injury—the kind of thing the training staff just couldn't seem to fix properly. Even this season over at Los Angeles FC, he’s been solid. He’s nowhere near the "useless" label you're trying to pin on him.
driftingotter47 said:The only things missing today are the striker out on a red card and their playmaker due to injury.
From what I've seen of the Louisville City side—and I've watched them—that striker is easily their best attacking threat. Add to that their midfield anchor, who handles both the dirty work and the distribution, and you realize why you shouldn't underestimate this matchup.
I don't know—playing on waterlogged pitches with low scoring rates has never paid off for me. If anything, it’s just been a steady stream of rain goals. 🤣
The US is playing a friendly against Slovakia today.
Gibraltar? Are you kidding me?
Taking Slovakia at a -3.5 handicap at 1.80 odds (starting from 0-0)—should be a safe bet.
This is basically all I could find on this "national team." They lose to random islanders from the Azores, teams from the Faroe Islands, and amateur squads from Scotland. 🤣
Unless they pull an absolute disaster along the lines of San Marino, I don't see how Slovakia doesn't cruise through this, regardless of who they field. 🤷
I'm with Eric Fox7 on this one. Here is the take from Coach Miller:
The US side has been picking up quite a few yellows—and Iceland isn't exactly playing clean either—but Miller isn't expecting anyone to play soft here.
"I can’t recall the last time we had this many bookings heading into a massive game, though I know the Icelanders are in the same boat. We can't afford to play like it's a basketball game out there. We can't take stupid cards, obviously, but if a tactical foul is required to stay in the game, we'll take the yellow and move on. That's why we have such depth on the roster."
Currently, several key players—including names like Modric, Mandzukic, Corluka, Eduardo, Kranjcar, Schildenfeld, Rakitic, Vrsaljko, Jelavic, and Kovacic—are facing potential suspension for the return leg.
Pepe gets booked during the match @ 2.90 Favorite 3/10
The naturalized Brazilian—as we all know—is an aggressive player who tends to pick up yellows quite frequently. With the Swedes, led by Zlatan, looking dangerous in the attack, Pepe is going to be under significant pressure. I don't see any reason why he wouldn't extend his streak of cards, regardless of the color. 😁
