I've made some bank so far in this world cup but never posted any official plays. I still have some futures that look good right now as you can see for yourself

Sunday 6/26 plays
-PICK Germany
-PICK Argentina
I'd suggest including juice or just not bothering to keep a record, but you are of course free to do whatever you choose.
I'll find the current lines and post them.
-PICK Germany even money
-PICK Argentina point spread -1(-110)
That makes absolutely no sense. You posted Germany at +100. What if they were -120 or -140 or -200? There's no possible way to decide if you like a bet without the price.
I was more confused on how you place a bet without seeing the price when you click on the wager and submit it online, or a local tells you what odds he has listed for a game before you bet it.
It's almost as if every pick posted here doesn't represent an actual wager.
My title has nothing to do with the statement you made about not looking at prices before choosing a side.
I don't follow NBA,MLB,NFL, etc
Best of luck with your picks and watch your step bc getting banned at this site is a real possibility if you instigate.
I agree with what you say in general, except for a couple things.
1. I wouldn't call Goats a senior member since he hasn't even been a member for a year. BUT he is a moderator, so I guess you could call him a respected member.
2. I feel that Metagear has made a name for himself. He just doesn't post a lot. He does have a lot of soccer knowledge, and I always appreciate his posts, when he does post. It has been a while though.
It is one thing to prefer to form an opinion before seeing the line, but ultimately what the line is must be considered and accounted for in any bets, posts, or records.
The key to a dutch win is not showing too much respect to the spaniards. This game will be Wesley Sneijder's chance to shine. I like the dutch winning it all even more because everyone and their grandma and that octopus predict a spanish victory.
