We got Stars & Stripes & a tickle to the USA over Paraguay!
Las Vegas - For those who have not followed or bet on soccer and are wondering how to handle the World Cup, here are a few quick notes. Take tonight's game in Los Angeles between the USA and Paraguay. There are thousands of prop bets but the four main betting positions are as follows. If you wanna bet the USA, you would put up $110 to win back $100. Note that we are using $100 as the base unit. If you wanted to bet on the underdog, Paraguay, you would put up $100 to win back $320. If you wanted to bet on a draw, you would put up $100 to win back $250. In the group stage, there are no shootouts or extra time. So, if it's tied after 90 minutes and stoppage time, game over and the draw bet wins. Then you have an Over/Under prop on total goals by both teams. This is the same as any Over/Under in any other sport. Not thrilled with the USA team at the moment, but the home field advantage should be enough to post a W. Gimme a tickle on the Red, White & Blue.
On the MLB board, we're looking at the Guardians with Tanner Bibee over the Tigers and Jack Flaherty. Just make sure you specify that exact matchup.
