4/23 Recap: I've come to a realization recently. There is a chance that I am either the world's unluckiest man or the universe's crummiest European football handicapper. I'm leaning towards the second. As I try to watch each game I select, by the most legal means available, I find myself thinking "I hope nobody uses...
4/19 Recap: A bit of a technological mishap kept me out of the picks game over the weekend, but after Friday's results that wasn't entirely a bad thing. First-half props did not help end my spell of bad betting form. Kevin Long's awkward own goal was a gut punch for both myself and Burnley. Ajax's first...
4/18 Recap: I left work at halftime of yesterday's Serie A games. I was feeling pretty good as I headed home. Juventus was up 1-0 and making a surefire bid for a second. Udinese was level with Napoli and giving them all they could handle. The lone update I checked while in traffic even saw...
4/16 Recap: If only I could just flip-flop yesterday's scorelines for my picks. The battle of those who cannot score ended with two goals in Germany. The first one is the talking point though. VAR took its nuttiest turn yet when a penalty was called AT HALFTIME. Pablo de Blasis slotted home the spot kick...
4/15 Recap: So much for putting your best foot forward. Roma and Real Madrid were able to get beneficial results for themselves, but in the process screw me over. Roma and Lazio, eternal enemies, put forth maybe the most boring match of 2018 not involving Atletico Madrid with a lead. Two whole shots made it...
4/8 Recap: It has been an eventful week indeed. But being shacked up in a hotel in Secaucus made me more of a spectator than a betting participant. That is the perils of potato wi-fi. Nevertheless, my last picks before my little work sabbatical didn't do half bad. For the amount of pressure Espanyol absorbed...
4/5 Recap: It seems the Europa League has surpassed its big brother in terms of unpredictability. Arsenal ran riot in the first half, scoring 4 in 35 minutes. CSKA got an away goal, but that won't matter heading back to Russia. In my other pick, I thought I was golden when Salzburg netted an equalizer in...
4/1 Recap: April Fool's Day doubled as opposite day for me. The results I needed were flip-flopped in Spain and France. I stated that I was fearful of Atletico Madrid getting a lead and then shutting it down. That is exactly what happened after Kevin Gameiro's penalty before halftime. There may not be a more...
3/29 Recap: Yeah, I'm done with Portugal for the time being. I thought seeing last place topple first place was bad. But yesterday I saw five goals come when I picked a scoreless draw. After Aves scored on the stroke of halftime, I thought I could at least salvage a draw result. Vitoria Setubal had...
3/28 Recap- With what I had at my disposal yesterday, I feel I did OK. Two early goals resided me to different fates in each game. In Scotland, St. Johnstone went ahead in the fifth minute and shut it down. Hamilton never stood a chance and my bet hit. In Italy, Bari went down even...
