2017 Confederations Cup Odds with Expert Betting Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 6/12/2017

The Confederations Cup kicks off this week in Russia. It is the test event for the World Cup that takes place a year before the big event in the host country. It features the host, the defending champion, and the current champion of each of the six international confederations. It's always a tough tournament to call, but this year it is just a little bizarre. Australia has moved to the AFC to enjoy a higher level of competition.

2018 World Cup Odds: Expert Predictions and Betting Advice
by Trevor Whenham - 6/9/2017

We are almost exactly a year away from the start of the 2018 World Cup in Russia - the first game kicks off on June 14. There is a whole lot left to decide between now and then - Russia and Brazil are the only two teams officially qualified, for example, so we certainly don't know anything about matchups or paths to the finals. It's never too early to look at what could happen, though - not when there are futures odds to potentially bet on. Here's a look at some of the more interesting prices currently available from MyBookie:

Champions League Final Picks: Real Madrid vs Juventus Expert Betting Predictions
by Chris Vasile - 5/31/2017

This year's Champions League Final between Juventus and the defending champions Real Madrid has the makings to be one of the most exciting and intense finale in quite some time. There are far too many storylines to touch on without writing a novel, but some of the more important ones revolve around some of the finest players to ever grace a soccer pitch.

Major League Soccer Betting Primer: MLS Wagering Advice
by Trevor Whenham - 3/9/2017

Major League Soccer just kicked off its 22nd season last week. The league is never going to be a major betting power in this country, nor will it be a primary world soccer power. The thing is, though, that it doesn't need to be. For a long time I literally couldn't have cared less about the league. That changed for me, though, when I accidentally happened upon a pregame rally in Seattle and took in the game on a whim. It was amazing - as good a fan experience as you could hope for. Since then I've slowly come around on the league - and the betting opportunities it can offer.

English Premier League Season Picks and Expert Analysis
by Chris Vasile - 8/10/2016

I feel like it was just yesterday that I was watching Eden Hazard come to life and score the vital game-tying goal against Tottenham that handed Leicester City the unlikeliest of English Premier League triumphs. The Foxes, as they are known, pulled off one of the greatest feats in the history of sports by winning the EPL by not one or two points, but by 10 full points!

Euro 2016 Betting Advice: Ranking the Teams in the Knockout Round
by Chris Vasile - 6/24/2016

There isn't a soccer tournament that goes by where we can't debate about which teams look the best and which team have thoroughly disappointed us through the first three games of the group stage. Euro 2016 is no different. There have been several great performances by a bunch of teams, but many of them lasted only one game. Not many teams were able to look dominant through the entire group stage. On the contrary, some of the teams competing in the Round of 16 have offered up little in the way of "eye candy" and are advancing only because of the new 24-team format.

What a wonderful tournament it has been so far. The new 24-team format, which many pundits claimed would mess up the tournament, has been nothing short of brilliant in its first true test. That's been so much so that the right half of the bracket has a combined 10 titles and 16 final appearances. The left half has not as many (no titles, 2 final appearances).

Euro 2016 Soccer Betting Advice: Live Long Shots in the Knockout Round
by Trevor Whenham - 6/23/2016

The round robin is over, and the field of 16 is set for the playoff round of Euro 2016. This is when things get interesting. The preliminaries produced a surprise or two - like Wales winning their group and leaving upcoming World Cup hosts Russia on the sidelines - but for the most part you can't argue that the teams that aren't advancing are anything other than the teams that should be out of the tournament.

by Chris Vasile - 6/20/2016

The first 11 days of this Euro tournament has treated us to some good soccer. We've seen some wonderful goals, some late-game heroics, some shocking results, and, thankfully, only three goalless draws. But we are just now getting to the meat and potatoes of the tournament. The fun (for neutral fans) begins when teams take the field for their final group stage game knowing only a specific result will secure their progress through to the knockout stage.

For those of you out there who bash soccer and beak about how easy it is to score a goal on those massive nets, I demand you watch the Portugal game over and over again to see how unlucky you can be when getting shots on target. Portugal should have been up at least three goals if they took their chances well and if their shots didn't come off directly at the goalie.

The Euro Cup is only three days old, and I must say I have been impressed with the quality of games and the fight that each team has put up. I'm hoping the trend of goal scoring continues in these games and we are able to avoid the first stale nil-nil draw of the tournament. For all the positives of the tournament so far, soccer is such a cruel sport.

The countdown is over and its finally time to play some soccer! Grab a beer, find a comfy spot to watch and enjoy over the next month, because it'll be over quicker than you know it. Depending on what time you are reading this at, France is either still playing or has beaten Romania comfortably (which is what I'm going to assume has happened).

2016 Euro Cup Soccer Odds with Expert Betting Predictions
by Chris Vasile - 6/9/2016

Over the last week, I gave you group previews, which featured every team's form coming into the tournament, how they should line up and expectations in camp and amongst supporters. Every talking head and casual fan has given their predictions, and almost all of them love France to do what they've done twice already on home soil and win a major tournament. They won the Euros in 1984 and World Cup in 1998. This could be their third Euro Cup triumph and their first since 2000.

2016 Euro Cup Predictions: Group E Odds and Expert Picks
by Chris Vasile - 6/8/2016

Many pundits have labelled this the "Group of Death," and I believe they are correct. This group features four-time world champion Italy, a Belgian squad loaded with talent, King Ibrahimovic (I mean Sweden) and a feisty Irish squad that shouldn't be taken lightly. The pick of the fixtures will be on match Day 1 when Belgium takes on Italy in Lyon. Whichever team claims the full three points can almost be assured qualification to the knockout stage.

2016 Euro Cup Predictions: Group F Odds and Expert Picks
by Chris Vasile - 6/8/2016

At first glance, many people would assume that this is Portugal's group to walk away with. However, after digging a little deeper, this group may provide us with the dullest soccer of the tournament and an interesting race for passage. Portugal is essentially a one-man team with an mediocre back line. Austria has a little momentum on their side since they've won nine consecutive qualifying games. Hungary and Iceland surely lack in quality, but they have the ability to give Portugal and Austria fits with strong performances.

2016 Euro Cup Predictions: Group D Odds and Expert Picks
by Chris Vasile - 6/7/2016

The only intriguing storyline taking place in Group D is the battle for second spot. Spain is the class of the group and should have no trouble securing top spot given the boatload of talent their entire squad features. Those left off the squad, like Isco and Diego Costa, could start for almost every major club in Europe. The remaining nations competing in Group D will all feel like they have a good chance to qualify for the knockout stage, which should make for some intense and cagey games.

2016 Euro Cup Predictions: Group C Odds and Expert Picks
by Chris Vasile - 6/6/2016

Before you pencil in Germany for top spot in Group C, you should know that this group could provide us with some entertaining games that should leave us with some unexpected results. Yes, Germany are the class of this group and are reigning World Champions, but Poland have already beat them in qualifying. Ukraine went toe-to-toe with Spain twice in qualifying with a 1-0 loss to show both times. Should Germany slip up even once, Poland will be ready to take advantage of the opportunity.

2016 Euro Cup Predictions: Group B Odds and Expert Picks
by Chris Vasile - 6/3/2016

With the 2016 UEFA Euro Championship right around the corner, all eyes will be on France starting June 10, 2016, through July 10, 2016. Many people think this group is England's to walk away with even before a ball has been kicked. To them I say, "not so fast." This is a very tricky group to navigate through, and one slip up could be the difference between advancing top of the group or scraping through in third.

by Robert Ferringo - 6/3/2016

The biggest event of the summer sports schedule won't even be played in the United State. The UEFA Euro 2016 Soccer Championship is one of the most prestigious international soccer tournaments in the world. This year's Euro 2016 will take place from June 10 to July 10 in France and features teams from 16 of the most futbol-crazed countries on the planet.

2016 Copa America Preview: Several Doc's Sports Handicappers Offering Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 6/3/2016

I don't know if any other sport engages our feeling of national pride like soccer. I know that USA basketball is a source of pride for the United States. But that's different. That's our sport. We are supposed to dominate international basketball and we do. And decades of unencumbered success have created a sense of inevitability with basketball.
