SOCCER TODAY PLAYS (9/16)

YTD (SOCCER):  27-11 (BIG PLAY!!!: 9-1)

Been a stellar season so far raking in profits so hoping to keep that going today.  In the first round of Champions league games, I tend to be a bit careful as I see how these teams stack up against one another.  But a few of these games are total mismatches so I'm focusing on them vs. some of the others:

UNDER 3.5 (ROYAL UNION SG/PSG):  A couple of the PSG forwards are out today and the joint top goal scorer for Royal Union is also out.  Along with this game being a bit nervy as both teams will want to get their campaigns started on the right foot (pun intended), I think this game could be a lower scoring affair.  Both teams have started out their seasons well with Royal Union not having dropped a contest yet and been extremely tough defensively.  I'm a bit nervous about backing PSG at home with little offensive firepower but Ricardo Pepi was on point last game and he's just started to be given a sizable role so that stops this from being a BIG PLAY!

REAL MADRID FH (-119)...BIG PLAY!!!:  Real Madrid have easily handled French opposition of late, any team not named PSG and even then.  Marseille can score some goals and RM will be missing Rudiger on defense but I think little has been made of the return of Danny Carvajal, their captain and most sound defensive player.  His return has allowed Madrid to start the season strong defensively though I do think Marseille eventually break out for a goal, just very unlikely it happens in the first 45 minutes.  Though, sometimes when teams strike ahead of RM it wakes them.  But I don't believe they will need much awakening today as Mbappe has been stellar and they are one of the best teams in this competition.  ON that note...

OVER 3.5 (MARSEILLE/REAL MADRID):  As mentioned above, I do think Marseille will get an away goal here but with this being a round robin, it will serve as little consolation.  I see Real Madrid wanting to make a statement so I dont' see them losing or tying, but I can see them giving up at least a goal.  I'd definitely also back Both Teams to Score with Rudiger out.

BENFICA FH (-161)...BIG PLAY!!!:  If you are timid dropping those kinds of odds on the FH you can also back the Asian handicap at -3/4 (-130) though I'm not certain that Benfica gets 2 in the first 45 minutes.  I am strongly confident they get one and put Quarabag in a tough position to try and get goals in Portugal, who have been extremely stingy at home.  

OVER 1 (-140) VILLAREAL/TOTTENHAM:  I will keep this a normal sized play though I do expect at least one goal in this game featuring a Tottenham side that has been miserable against Spanish opponents and a Villareal side that has been miserable against English opponents.  

That is all I am going to try and play today, don't want to reach, it's a long season.  Hoping to keep the good times rolling.  As always, tail or fade, good luck to all...

Wow really nobody checking this thread out?  I'm going to stop posting it takes a lot of time to write up reasoning and do research and try and help others win but if that's not happening I totally get it.  Good luck to everyone, just surprised given how great I've been cashing for years in this sport.

Very bitter about losing that first game given it was in the 90th minute and it seemed as though Royal SG just didn't care at that point.  Can't win them all and wish I had seen the RM lineup not sure what they are doing taking this game a bit lightly. 

Benfica on the other hand....awesome start :).

@LAGameofInches

 Amazing start on Benfica. Appreciate the write up bud. At work so couldn’t reply before the matches began 

All good chief. I’m a silent follower. 

nah appreciate it for the write up. Looks like a good start so far for the 3pm slate

No you won’t.

I always check for your stuff early 

VAR is Fkn garbage. Should’ve been 2 penalties in the Spurs match 

Then only one minute of stoppage time 

Fuk real madrid   they are disgraceful.  No way they should be tied at half.

Real Madrid wasted so many scoring opportunities then Carvajal gets a red and destroys any chance of this going over smh 

@benhogan76

He won't leave.  Just here for the usual begging for love and attention.  He does this every few weeks in all sports forums.  It's really weird.   Like an obsessed ex. Once is weird enough.  But I've seen him make a post about no love at least 3 or 4 times in various sports.

Real Madrid can fuck all the way off!!!

Silent follower also, I also check out your picks before I make mine so please keep posting 

Had Spurs TT over 1 1/2 at -120 (Bet 365)just saw the O/U for game you posted was only 1?

@TheBoyWonder

 Lol stfu 

Yesterday was a real disaster, sticking with the goals today, no ML bets

LA … the ONLY 2 cappers I read for wager wisdom … and football insight … are you and Brooklyncapper.

We are a silent majority … keep ‘em coming old chap. 

@LAGameofInches

 You’re funny with all these, no one follows me stuff! You basically went offer yesterday and to follow it up with this type of comment is silly. You have been getting smoked in all sports recently so maybe try the humble approach that may turn things around for you

great write ups

thanks for sharing as always. Fantastic record. Looooots of plays today 

Have I been.  Thanks for visiting, dont' come back.  I'm pretty even in NFL and have been getting smoked in college.  I think soccer counts as a sport and pretty sure not smoked here so...get a life and start posting your own threads and winners.

@LAGameofInches

 Tampon or tissue, you sound like a bitch! 

@LAGameofInches

 Publica amigo yo te sigo

No wonder this site fucking blows.

anybody with anything tangible to say or post leaves because you get losers here who expect free winners to be posted, post some shit talking once in a while and pile on when a posted record loses…been here a decade and seem so many good cappers say good riddance to this place. 

@vaas187

 Nobody expects free winners. They pile on when you read pathetic 5 year old daddy doesn't love me whining demanding love and affection or else he will take his ball and go home.   How many other respected cappers on this site have you read a post like that from?  Name one? LoL
