English Premier League (EPL) Matchday 4 Odds & Picks: Liverpool vs. Bournemouth
Liverpool (-900) vs. Bournemouth (+2300)
Running into a motivated Manchester United last week, Liverpool was unable to overcome two early goals as they suffered their first loss of the season. Now 0-1-2, Liverpool is in desperate need of a win, and luckily they now draw a recently promoted Bournemouth team who they have dominated over the years.
Over their last five games dating back to 2018, Liverpool is a perfect 5-0 with a goal differential of +14 vs. Bournemouth. While the full-game odds have gotten out of control, I think there’s a ton of value in the first-half spread.
Pick: 1H Liverpool -1 (+100)
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
