The Friendly Wager: Back Christian Pulisic To Score, USA To Advance
Its Week 4 of the "Friendly Wager" and in case you were wondering, Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo did not score a brace in last weeks match against Colombia. Not even close. That was a +750 longshot that never stood a chance. We also played USA on the three-way line against Trkiye and parlayed a USA victory with Christian Pulisic to score a goal. With the game tied 2-2, Pulisic hit the post at 71 and missed just left at 76. Game of inches, eh?

Not offering "Yes" and "No" markets is truly one of the worst parts of the industry because you never get a fair price on the "Yes." Caesars has Messi at -230 to score. Yikes! When books dont offer "No," they can deal whatever they want on "Yes" because theres no money balancing the budget to create a fair price. So, books just crank "Yes" as high as they want, knowing full well that 70% of people or more will bet Messi to score no matter what or just jam it in parlays. But I digress. Since this concept is about having fun and taking shots, Im eying that insanely juicy draw price between Argentina and Cape Verde. Cross your fingers and your toes for a 1-1 tie after 90 minutes. Its anywhere from +650 at FanDuel to +715 at Circa Sports because, as it is with Messi, the Argentinian inflation is so high. Roll the dice. United States vs. Belgium I cant quit Christian Pulisic. Granted, I only picked him to score in the Americans third group match against Trkiye, but hes gotta put the ball in the back of the net eventually, right? Right?! Top striker Flo Balogun will miss Mondays match after receiving a red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina, and head coach Mauricio Pochettino must get creative. I expect the USA to be more aggressive in getting Pulisic the rock and theres always the possibility he starts at striker. Thatll undoubtedly increase his scoring chances against Belgium. Im also wheeling Pulisic to score with the USA to make the quarters.
