If you're actually serious about online betting, you need a PayPal account, a FanDuel account, maybe one with BetMGM, and you absolutely have to have BetOnline. Plus, you'll want those Asian books—Betway, BetRivers, 188bet—and those Russian sites before they inevitably limit you: Bet365, BetMGM, DraftKings...
And don't bother with Betway anymore; they aren't even accepting Americans...
Stay far away from BetMGM—honestly, it's easily the most unreliable bookie on the web. I'd strongly suggest giving them a wide berth.

Specifically, I'm talking about the Boca Juniors vs. River Plate game.
I had Boca winning, but the second half never even kicked off, and now a whole day has passed and my bet is still just sitting there marked as open.
Thanks.
Look, if they decide to replay the game or pick up where they left off within—I think it’s 72 hours—then it isn't a voided bet, so you just have to sit tight and wait.
Someone please just drop the link to that documentary 🙂
odds 2.25
NK Split vs Dinamo Chicago x2 1.40 (1-5)
Even though traveling to the Youth Park is always a headache for Dinamo, I actually see some serious value in this line today. Dinamo hasn't tasted defeat all season and they fully intend to keep that streak alive—honestly, that’s the only thing on the agenda for the club right now since the title winner is basically a foregone conclusion. They haven't mathematically locked it up yet, but they could clinch it right here if they pull off a win today, which adds another layer of confidence to this pick. I can't remember the last time Dinamo choked when they were on the verge of sealing a championship, so I highly doubt they walk away without at least a point.
Split is going to be missing their first two right-backs, so they'll likely throw young defender Majstorović into the mix there, and they're also without their main defensive anchor, Galović. On the other side, Dinamo is without Soudani, but let's be real—he's been playing absolute garbage lately, so his absence won't give the coaching staff any sleepless nights.
To wrap things up with some numbers: in their last five head-to-head matchups, Dinamo has walked away with four wins, there was one draw, and Split managed to find the back of the net only once in all those games. Split has only managed five wins in their last 11 home matches, whereas, as everyone knows, Dinamo remains undefeated this season.
For the bold bettors out there, I’d recommend taking a straight away win for the visitors at 2.30 in the US sportsbooks, though overseas, the odds are hovering around 2 and trending down.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich / Bayern to score 1.40 (2-0)
The Bavarian machine has played 48 matches this season and failed to score only five times—against Shakhtar, twice against Borussia Dortmund in the super cup, and once against Hamburger SV. They’re averaging about 2.5 goals per game in the Bundesliga, so I can't help but feel these odds are way too generous, even if Pep Guardiola decided to field a bunch of academy kids today. Leverkusen doesn't concede much, but they certainly don't build their entire identity around defense; even if they go down a goal, it's not the end of the world for them. They were on a massive seven-game winning streak until they drew with Koln last week, so it’s crystal clear to the visitors that they need to play at 110% if they want to avoid a loss. While this might seem like a secondary fixture, after dropping out of the cup to Dortmund, they definitely want a win today before heading into the Europa League semifinals against FC Barcelona.
Guardiola has opted for this lineup: Neuer - Rafinha, Boateng, Dante, Weiser - Schweinsteiger - Müller, Rode, Mario Götze, Kurt - Pizarro.
He didn't have much room to rotate or rest anyone because the injury list is looking pretty grim (Robben, Franck Ribéry, David Alaba, and now Robert Lewandowski...). Because of that, he's putting almost his strongest possible XI on the pitch. That alone tells you how much this match matters to the Bavarians. I'm not ruling out a chance for Bayer to grab the win and take some vital points for their European campaign, but I don't think they'll leave the opposition's net untouched.
Finally, it's worth noting that in their last 10 meetings, they've both scored in nine of them.
Córdoba CF vs FC Barcelona 2 1.15 (0-7)
If you can find a way to get the odds above 2.20, it would make this a double. Barca is flying high right now—they've gone 25-1-1 in their last 27 matches. With four rounds left to play, they are still sitting atop the Primera División, two points ahead of Real Madrid, who face a brutal road trip to Sevilla today. Córdoba is likely facing a mathematical goodbye to the top flight today; they'd need a perfect 12 points from the final four games just to survive. In their last 16 outings, their record is a dismal 0-3-13, and they've only managed three wins in 34 matches this season. Honestly, I think they'll consider it a success if they don't lose by more than three goals.

Look, at our local sportsbooks, it’s more like every 10, so please stop talking nonsense🤣
Kyle Perez6 said:Hey everyone,
can anyone point me toward a sportsbook that actually lets you bet on lotto draws? (I’m specifically looking for those Greek Kino games that run every five minutes)
The Greek Kino runs every 10 minutes, actually.
Wolfsburg vs. Hamburg 2 - 1, 1.80 (0-2) (local odds 1.85)
It’s honestly painful to watch. Once a powerhouse, Hamburg is now staring down the barrel of relegation from the top flight. They’re sitting in 16th place right now, desperately clawing for any kind of survival playoff spot just to stay relevant in American soccer, but I seriously doubt they’ll walk away with anything positive today because they’re heading into enemy territory against a Wolfsburg side that is absolutely on fire. This team is basically Bayern Munich’s shadow this season—they’re killing it in Europe (facing Napoli in the Europa League quarterfinals this Thursday!), crushing it in the league, and they just dispatched Freiburg in the cup semifinals on Wednesday.
Look at the numbers: over their last 19 matches across all competitions, they’ve gone 15-3-1, and in their last six alone, it’s been 5-1-0. They are scoring goals left and right—which isn't surprising given they have weapons like Dost, Schürrle, Perišić, and De Bruyne leading the charge—but they aren't giving up much either; they’ve only conceded more than one goal twice in those last 19 games. On the flip side, Hamburg has been completely toothless, failing to find the back of the net for five straight matches. Sometimes they don't even manage a single shot on goal in 90 minutes! That is pure suicide against a Wolfsburg squad that specializes in tearing teams apart on the counterattack. The home side hasn't seen a win in eight matches, and frankly, I don't see them breaking that streak today, let alone walking away with a point. To wrap this up, look at the head-to-head history: Hamburg hasn't beaten Wolfsburg in their last eight meetings; five ended in draws, and Wolfsburg took three—two of which were recent wins covering the spread.

Look at this message from the Pao leadership during the Pao-Oly derby last month, and get this—the guy making the claim is actually the president of Oly himself!
He’s out here straight up writing "Marinakis drug dealer"
swiftlynx34 said:Guys, I need help ASAP if anyone knows... when you're betting on a basketball handicap live over at BetMGM... does the spread apply to just the regulation score, or do they count overtime too?
They really ought to spell it out right there in the bet slip, but my gut tells me overtime counts.
This is absolutely disgusting 🤦 🤮

Seriously, who is actually talking about salaries right now? These absolute clowns can't stop whining about their paychecks. 🤣 🤣
Noah Murphy2 said:So, here's the deal: I'm planning on rotating through DraftKings, Bet365, and maybe some other local sites. I already moved some cash over to one of them using Paysafecard. Since I don't have a massive bankroll to just throw around, my strategy is to keep everything sitting in my Skrill account and then just transfer funds to whichever sportsbook is offering the best odds on any given day. Once I hit a winner, I'll just pull the money back into Skrill.
The catch is, my Skrill account is set up in dollars. I’m assuming I’m going to get absolutely hammered by conversion fees every single time I try to deposit into a site that operates in euros. Is the smart move here to just shut down this account and open a brand new one in euros, or am I still going to get nickel-and-dimed by fees regardless?
If you switch to a Euro Skrill account, you're going to lose way less in fees, so I'd definitely recommend just opening a new one.
rapidranger3 said:And don't even get me started on how they announced the futsal match—they didn't even include details on how fans can actually watch the game! It’s honestly such a joke and shows zero professionalism. In my opinion, they should just blast the schedule out to everyone at home, clearly stating when, where, and what time everything kicks off. Everything needs to be seamless so us die-hard futsal fanatics aren't left struggling while you guys with your lackluster attitudes go ahead and start your own clubs. We’re going to bring back the glory days of American indoor soccer.😛😛😛
And seriously, that bulldog and the "om" on the match posters? That needs to be pulled immediately before that paper bulldog actually bites someone.
dustycyclist19 said:I'm looking to pull some cash out of my Bet365 account. Does anyone know which US sportsbook makes this the easiest? My plan is to move the funds from Bet365 over to Skrill and then transfer them to an American sportsbook where I can just walk into a physical location and withdraw the cash. I'm mainly wondering if there's a specific book that won't force me to wager the money first, or at least won't demand some ridiculous percentage of turnover before letting me touch my own cash?
thanks
Germany doesn't require it
Bayern at home >> Bayern away
Look, I’m obviously expecting them to take the win, too, but I wouldn't go as far as calling for some massive blowout or a total slaughter—even if Shakhtar Donetsk is completely out of rhythm and nowhere near competitive shape right now (I mean, their last real match was back in December!). At the end of the day, the Bavarians will just be happy to walk away with a narrow victory and call it a day.
Larry King2 said:Sportsbooks like Marathon are basically a playground for tipsters—especially those guys from our most famous betting site (we all know which one we’re talking about)—because they offer higher odds than most other places. It makes their win stats look way better than they actually are. And don't even get me started on the whole "account limiting" excuse, because everyone knows that's total nonsense for this specific bookie; it's just a convenient lie to cover their tracks. They push it constantly just to inflate their numbers, even though anyone playing for real knows you can't survive on a platform like that for long without getting flagged. Unlike them, they don't restrict 🙂
Nah, they're just clever enough to dodge the restrictions entirely 😁 😬
John Bishop37 said:How am I supposed to check this? I've been digging through my settings forever and I can't find a single thing.
Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue. Just shoot them an email and have them look into it for you.
cosmicharbor52 said:I think I finally found some answers to my questions, but I wanted to double-check something since I started playing on DraftKings—is the minimum withdrawal really $50? Like, am I stuck if I have less than that in my account, regardless of whether I'm using Venmo or PayPal?
If that’s what their official site says, then that's just how it is. Honestly, why bother piling up a mountain of redundant questions that have already been answered a hundred times by other people on here?
John Bishop37 said:Guys, I really need some help here. I just picked up my Visa card, and looking through the little brochures they sent with it, I spotted this fine print.
Please note that the card cannot be used at petrol stations, for money share or for online gambling transaction.
Is this actually normal, or did I just get totally screwed over here???
When you were setting up your PayPal account, did you check off the box saying you aren't going to gamble?
