⚽ World Cup: Explaining Nigel’s Best Bet
I thought I would make it at least through the first weekend of the World Cup before my girlfriend asked:
“Are you going to watch all the games?”
That bet went Under. Saturday afternoon.
Fortunately, there are only four matches today:
Spain vs. Cape Verde (Noon ET)
Belgium vs. Egypt (3 ET)
Saudi Arabia vs. Uruguay (6 ET)
Iran vs. New Zealand (9 ET)
Nigel Seeley’s Play of the Day comes from Saudi Arabia-Uruguay and provides an opportunity to explain the Asian Handicap.
Nigel likes Uruguay -1.0 Asian (-136).
Think of it as a soccer point spread with insurance. Uruguay must win by two or more goals to cash, but a one-goal victory results in a push and a refund.
Bettors often choose this instead of a heavily juiced moneyline because it offers a better price while still protecting against a narrow win.

⚾ Final Total Watch
The Total for Sunday’s Rockies-Athletics game closed 14.
Final score: Rockies 23, Athletics 9 — a reminder why bookmakers continued hanging cartoonishly high totals in Las Vegas.
Even so, the Under finished 4-2 for the week at Las Vegas Ballpark.
