2% max recommended unless otherwise noted. 1% max recommended for soccer.
Advice for those who hold these futures we recommended at the start of the tournament.
ENGLAND +350 (ok to +250)
0.5% ENGLAND 1, SPAIN 2 +2500
0.5% ENGLAND & KANE +1400
Right now, if England wins, these futures bets pay out a profit of over 12 to 1 on a 2% investment, for about a 25% profit. A way to lock in a profit would be to hedge by betting Spain to win. Spain is currently -150, so a 15% bet would net a big double digit profit either way.
Potential Draw - Chelsea vs Liverpool
This is another Premier League fixture I am keeping an eye on in the run up to the weekend. Chelsea vs Liverpool is a fixture which ends in a draw surprisingly often. Even when one side or the other is not in great form, a common pattern is that Chelsea will take the game to Liverpool but lack the critical knockout punch to finish them off, which normally allows Liverpool to steal a point. This tends to happen more often at Stamford Bridge (where Chelsea are at home) or in cup competitions, which tend to go to extra time. At Anfield, Liverpool have a more decisive edge.
This weekend's game has Chelsea trading at about 33%, Liverpool at 43% and the draw at about 26%. I'm sceptical that Chelsea to draw at home should be trading that low. If I can finagle an entry at 25c somehow (such as via the synthetic draw, which I have posted about recently), I would be tempted to take that position. Chelsea are well capable of taking a lead into the final ...
