Who opens the soccer markets in Europe? Is that Bet365?
thanks in advance.
I know nothing about soccer openers, don't even bet the sport, sorry.
Hopefully rito can answer it for you, as I can't. I'll check out lines at Pinny or SBO when I'm looking at a play just to see if I'm getting the right value, but I don't really pay attention to what's happening with Euro books before something comes up at my outs.
Uruguay over 1 goal (-118) 1.18 units to win 1 unit
Peru E Venezuela (-106) 2.12 units to win 2 units

I tried talking durito out of playing the US last night. This lineup is a train wreck.
Honduras under .5 goals (+115) 1 unit to win 1.15 units
Been trying to convince myself it's not that bad... I'm failing.
Lol, didn't work, bet at a bunch of prices today and got faded each time. Someone loves over too, don't get that one.
What I meant to say was that I didn't think that the USA -6.5 goals was a good play.
I think with Klisnmann, it was a little bit of several things. He made some head scratching squad/lineup selections, he rubbed some guys the wrong way (or they rubbed him the wrong way) thus ending up with guys like Nagbe (or Landon in 2014) on the outside looking in, he continued to try and play guys out of position (Beasley, Shea, more recently Zusi, etc), he would put out formations that didn't make sense with the opponent or his current squad, horrible in game substitutions, etc. But most of all, I think he ended up being disliked in some ways by the squad, and they didn't always leave it all on the field for him like past US teams did for guys like Bora or Arena. The area that he was good was as a "recruiter", as several of these German guys probably never make the switch to the US if Klinsmann isn't around. And hopefully it continues to pay dividends down the road as guys Green and Zelalem it their prime.
I think that it was Lalas that said last night that under Arena's last tenure, the US team always seemed to be better than the sum of it's parts. Under Klinsmann, they were either equal to the sum or below the sum of what we had on the field.
Big game on Tuesday now. Things came really easily last night, it'll be a different story in Panama, especially when mixing in a few more injuries.
