In Response To: 6/14/02 WC picks (roadkill)

I have no problem with your picks and I acknowledge that it is not fair to tell you now about a bet that was good or bad, once it is played.I would only like to make a generalisation about soccer betting,especially in the World Cup.In soccer (and especially in WC) books make a hell of a lot money because people really don't know the teams they are betting on.In addition, most of the soccer bettors play against huge vig and the sharps are genrally way too few comparing with the public.The result is books posting incredible lines that would make most people in here laugh if they knew much about soccer.

Here is the ultimate example (I can name hundreds):
Some days before the WC Pinnacle has Usa to beat Poland at +575!!!Why???Cuz almost everybody think Americans sucks in soccer whilst everybody (soccer fans) knows Emanuel Olisadebe that reached the Final 8 with Panathinaikos for the CL and everybody knows Jergi Dudek,the fantastic goalkeeper of one of the most popular teams in the world,Liverpool FC.People tend to forget things like Poland having 16 years to reach the WC and many othe things (like Donovan) and there are actually people betting Poland at -250!!!!!!!!!

I just wonder what could possibly happen to USA in the first 2 matches that would make the -250 for Poland unavailable later.Even Saudi Arabia that was humiliated twice was at -333 to lose vs Ireland.

So?

After 2 matches they have Poland at +400 or something to beat USA only cuz of 2 matches!!!And people keep betting on the USA at -110 or Evens whilst they would not dare it at +575 some days ago!!

This tells me people betting teams they have never seen before.You se the results...
