World Cup Expert Betting Advice: Handicapping the Elimination Round
by Trevor Whenham - 6/27/2018

As I write this we are just days away from the end of the round robin at the World Cup and the start of the elimination games, beginning with the Round of 16. There is no question that elimination games are significantly different from a betting perspective than the round robin games are. And the good news is that pretty much every difference means that the elimination games are better - to watch and to bet on - as well. Here are five of the key differences to keep in mind as we shift into the next phase of the tournament:

2018 World Cup Betting Advice: Handicapping Third Games
by Trevor Whenham - 6/22/2018

On Sunday the second round of the round-robin portion of the 2018 FIFA World Cup comes to an end. From Monday to Thursday the final games of round robin will take place, and all of the spots in the elimination rounds will be claimed. It marks a shift in the flow of the tournament, and not in a good way. There are four games instead of three per day, and more should be better. But both games from a group are played at the same time, so your thumb is going to get plenty of exercise as you flip from channel to channel between the games.

Free World Cup Betting Picks for This Week
by Trevor Whenham - 6/21/2018

The first week of World Cup action was exciting and often surprising on the pitch. And from a betting perspective it was okay but not great on this front. We picked six games that were interesting bets last week, and two of the six came through. We took flyers on some longer shots, so the result is only a small hole - and now it's time to dig out of it in the second week of action.
