FREE VALUE BETTING SOCCER PICKS Feb 23-25

Strange set up this year in the Champions League with half of the round of last 16 matches being played last week and the rest being played this midweek. Tomorrow, holders Barcelona kick back into Champions league action, fresh off the back of a mauling of Santander and their opponents are fresh off delivering a weekend drubbing themselves, so the value may be in betting the goal line in this one, with good value betting opportunity in backing either of the VFB strikers as anytime goalscorer picks at approx 3/1 on the Betting Exchanges. Cacau BTW is fresh off a hattrick! Elsewhere in the Champions League betting, there doesn't seem to be any other standout soccer picks this week with Inter vs chelsea and CSKA vs Sevilla looking too close to call, although an anytime goalscorer bet on the young Serbian star for CSKA, Milos Krasic, looks a cracking value bet @ best betting price of 4/1.

In the Europa league, we have the reverse of last week's soccer fixtures but this week, it's likely to be more open as teams are forced to go on the offensive. That could leave the door open for a counter attacking lesson for Unirea, vs LFC, especially as Torres is likely to feature at some stage and LFC look overpriced at 5/6. There should be goals is games elsewhere in the Europa League as teams like Atletico and Villarreal will be forced to push forward to overturn first leg disadvantages(in terms of away goals). Another standout is Hertha, who will have to come out against a Benfica side who could seriously punish them if they leave too much space. 13/10 on the handicap is good value on Benfica...... stay tuned for expert Champions league soccer picks / europa league predictions

What is expected Strokes Gained Course Fit ?

Bryan pioneered the concept of Expected Strokes Gained Course Fit (xSGF) in golf betting. xSGF can be predicted using my model below. For prospective golf betting tips it projects ahead of time how many shots a player is expected to pick up per round on average on a particular golf course. It's weighed against a neutral golf course of the same rating.

Golf Betting Tips Model

Input up to date player and course data (from the upcoming course fit manual 2024) into this interactive golf betting model. My course fit profiling model for golf betting tips uses highly evolved golf nuance and betting intuition, precise parameters and inputs based on Bayesian analysis, plus years of empirical evidence through observing, betting and documenting golf and stats.

What is Progressive Form in Golf Betting?

Progressive form in golf betting differs from current form in that players are showing a trend in the right direction in their recent scoring. Trending form has a high predictive value in golf betting and can also catch players under the radar at an inflated price vs their true betting odds.
