As for gambling on these matches, I’ll give you my best bets daily throughout the tournament. Basically, if I see an edge, and I’m betting on it, I’ll share it. I want us all to win!
I believe in transparency, so my tournament best bets record currently sits at 29-19, +$593. This is based on my wager amounts, with each being to win $100. But remember, you can always bet any amount you are comfortable with.
We’re coming off a 2-0 day. Let’s see if we can keep it going. Here are my favorite bets for Day 4 of the knockout stage.
Colombia vs. Jamaica, 4 a.m. ET Tuesday, FS1 and the FOX Sports app
Draw (+210) and Under 2.5 goals (-210)
I will call for extra time here between two of the better stories of the tournament.
Jamaica hasn’t conceded a goal yet in the tourney, which includes matches with a full-strength France and a Brazil team that needed a win to advance.
Even with Catalina Usme and Linda Caicedo, goals will not come easy for Columbia. A third 0-0 match for Jamaica is definitely in the cards.
PICK: Draw at the end of regulation (bet $10 to win $31 total)
PICK: Under 2.5 goals by both teams combined (bet $10 to win $14.76 total)
Can the USWNT bounce back after early exit in World Cup?
Alexi Lalas and David Mosse react to USWNT’s loss against Sweden and break down whether it was a disappointing finish
France vs. Morocco, 7 a.m. ET Tuesday, FS1 and the FOX Sports app
France to advance and Morocco Under 0.5 goals (-139)
Morocco has been an amazing story, advancing with a pair of 1-0 wins after a 6-0 loss to Germany. However, this matchup will be a tall order, as France will be the sternest test yet for the Atlas Lionesses.
Ultimately, France just has too many scoring options and is too good on defense for Morocco to move on or even get a goal here. France is definitely a team that has been undervalued and continues to be. I’m looking to take advantage of that in this spot.
PICK: France to advance and Morocco Under 0.5 goals (bet $10 to win $17.19 total)
