Ok... Thinking about it some more, I think VAR 'could' be good for tourney or KO football where the closest of decisions will be very crucial like the CL (except the group stages), the domestic cup games, the WC, etc... (You get the point). But for league football, no way. I like my football to stay as pure as much as possible thanks very much.
Yes but please don't let champions league use VAR. It's better to not use VAR because i want more drama on champions league. It's better only use VAR on world cup, euro, and others international tournament/cup.

I am for VAR to be implemented in all of the big leagues and tournaments. Effective play time ( when the ball is in play) for a football game is below 60 minutes. Every direct free kick take around 1min to be played, every penalty can took between 2-4 minutes - players jumping around the referee, he booking them, waiting to calm down and penalty to be taken. VAR will make the game more fair in my opinion, because in close games, one referee mistake can turn things around. For the time wasted there is additional time, as we see in the World Cup average stoppage time was 6.4 minutes.

VAR and AI referees and touch sensor ball and pitch can all kiss my ass after I'm long dead, buried and pushing up daisies. Yes, football is prone to so much human error but as someone who enjoyed playing it for so many years, I'd take a bad decision any day over a dull 5-min wait for video to make the call. Call me conservative that way.
Anyway, one of my least ambitious parlays today to try and make it up for lost games: 2 home sides FC Sheriff and Hapoel Beer Sheva to get victories in Champs League qualification @3.36: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=Zm0%2FckEcOjXq0cW0L0qIsunLVeX8FgIpjgOFLdHDx4A%3D

I think VAR helps football more than it hurts. During the World Cup some of the referees refused to consult themselves with their colleagues in the VAR room and made wrong calls like that referee in the Switzerland - Serbia match who didn't award a penalty to the Serbian team. If I remember correctly the referee straight up declined to review the situation and was sanctioned by FIFA later. If the main referee is biased VAR should overrule the wrong decisions and help balance the match. When there is video evidence match fixing will be minimized or completely stopped as referees will think twice before making bad calls.
The VAR in some instance can be used to hurt the game and it unfortunately did hurt the final too. I thought that the penalty given to France was a correct one, I am a casual gambler but I watch soccer a lot. And so after some days I was seeing all instagram troll pages were making fun of the Argentinian referee who gave that penalty with VAR. All these pages claimed it was not a penalty and many football experts commenting there did agree too. Overall though VAR should help more than should hurt if FIFA start to sanction referees who abuse it.

There is no VAR in qualification games I suppose will be no VAR in all UEFA games
VAR will be in all major and small leagues only UEFA will stay like a green island

I don't think there will be VAR in the CL or any of the pro leagues. It's FIFA that experimented VAR for this World Cup, which really had negative feedback mostly. I hope they scrap it. It's bad for the game. Football is not basketball. VAR is taking away the human factor in the game which makes it more exciting.
Yeah, you could see the huge difference in the group stages and then in the knockout phase. VAR used so often, resulting in so many penalties and in so much injury times. They didn't use it so often and then the knockout stages were a lot smoother.
I'm all for fair is fair... but if VAR is not yet at a stage where football doesn't have to sacrifice seamless play and flow and players aren't encouraged to perform even more simulation and referees aren't pressured to give penalties/fouls simply because video seems to show proof. Referees are paid and tasked to do best judgment calls, depending on context. VAR isn't trained for that yet.
Perhaps if like in tennis, teams could ask for VAR a max of 1 time per game, or 2. Something like that MIGHT help but I'd prefer to just scrap the whole nonsense.
If VAR is not implemented in the Premier league I think it is a disadvantage to the league. Premier league referee have one of the worst reputations in the world and VAR can cure a lot of these symptoms , especially in the small area where often penalties are not awarded.
^ Wtf! Noooo! I hope the EPL continues not having the VAR and viewers of those leagues with a VAR drop while increasing the EPL's viewership. That, I hope, could be proof that VAR is bad for the game.

I think VAR has been used in the MLS (Major League Soccer) last season prior to the World Cup and I think it got a positive feedback in the USA. I don't watch MLS football so I am not in the loop much, but I have heard the World Cup commentators saying that it has been a success
and that's why they included VAR for the World Cup. My guess is VAR will be coming to more elite leagues later on.
By the way I just googled whether or not VAR will be used in the Premier League and apparently they have voted no so no VAR in the PL this season at least. Other major leagues have already approved of VAR:
Quote
Will VAR be used in La Liga and Serie A?
The Premier League will be the only major top flight league in Europe operating without VAR next season. La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 will all be using the technology for the 2018-19 campaign.

Yesterday a lot of games ended by favourites winning the game. I believe the sport books have lost money yesterday but this is one rare case where most of the Europa league games ended as predicted. Atalanta a team from Serie A couldn't defeat a team from Bosnia while they were ahead by 2 goals was one upset. A few others not as big as this were also caused by late goals but I can say that overall yesterday was a good day for gamblers.

Well I won some live bets and I think I am getting a bit addicted to it. I probably should check bitcoin sport bookies which accept cashout during gameplay and I think one is the one which I have in my signature to try at first. I put a bet on different parlays and I cashout most of them in play.
I got Alashkert ,Trencin and Nordsjaelland both in a parlay which I didn't wait till the end although they won both. Now I am waiting one with only Aberdeen to win but I doubt they can hold until the end.

Yeah, I don't know about that cashout option. I used it before with some regret on Betfair, but now I'm almost totally on Bitcoin only sportsbetting (except when I want to take advantage of bonuses or props). The odds are just way better to ignore on Bitcoin bookies. You should check them out.
Liverpool played so badly that I could say that even if I did not have enough afterwards, it would not have been enough. Especially when I say that Rome is completely disintegrated, it is a logical choice for me to play the top of that match.
Liverpool vs Roma? Wtf? Are you talking about UCL semifinal? Lol, this match was played couple months ago, not sure why you're posting about it now. As you see people now discussing about UCL and UEL qualification, not about matches played in previous season.This thread and the EPL thread used to be full of these guys, just coming in here, randomly taking an older post and rewriting it (or in some cases copy-pasting). Needs to be reported and cleaned out from the gambling section.
Hat do you guys think of excluding Neymar from best 10 players list who will be the candidate for Balloon for I think it's a new shock for him adding on that it will be a new disappointment after the World Cup disappointment and media campaigns that made him looking worser then ever especially when it comes to his style.
This all negative surrounding will make him worse and maybe next year we will see him trying a new challenge with a new club specially when PSG don't get the success in Europe that they are dreaming about for me the final three in the balloon d'or should have Modric and Greizman 3 person most likely to be CR7 as he won the UCL while Messi shined only in ligue I would like to see Greizman as winner because he won the WC also the UEL with Atletico so he deserved the most I excluded Salah from this list because he didn't achieve any Silverware while in Stats Messi is also better then him.

Yeah, I was surprised they played like that especially on neutral ground. Ajax and Celtic eventually won comfortably (scorelines aside) but I lost my parlay on Qarabag's inability to break down Kukesi. Good win on your halftime draw. I never bet half time scores though, maybe I should for when opponents are expected to park the bus.
Tonight's Europa qualification games are interesting to bet on I think. I'll take a few good sides for a parlay: Bordeau @1.3x, Maribor @1.8x, Burnley @2.0x, Leeds @1.2x for total parlay @6.39:

For today I only bet on Bordeaux to win because I am reading betting expert before I place a bet. I have not much experience but I am an intelligent person when making rational choices so I always go for the most obvious.
I know I risk to lose a lot of money in the long run if I keep doing it without proper studies but I think this is the best I can do. Now Bordeaux is in 91 minute winning so I think they will keep this win. Parlays are good but from what I have experienced from my short experience in gambling is that they are very difficult to get.
Parlay REKT from the very first game, another blasted draw by Maribor, didn't watch so don't know what happened there. Once more, you got your single bet, Bordeaux good for their money. Definitely betting with my gut on parlays, with some semi-educated knowledge. Nowhere close to Moneyball or anything like that of course, just based mostly on form, and partially on waiting for streaks to break (which is why I like betting against a sure winner after a long winning streak).
Should have gone for RedBull/Bordeaux/Besiktas/Atalanta. They were equally good for the money.
Today's games listings popped up, I forgot that this time last year, I was following Liverpool to qualify for Champions League. First competitive bet on the new season for me, finally! I'm not much in the know for any of these teams, but Qarabag showed they weren't too bad last season, Ajax is due a win, and Celtic as well. Scottish, Dutch and Azerbaijan league champions, they should all win for a parlay @3.44

All three first games ended 0-0 in the first half. I am watching the games at bet365 and I must say that you will have trouble to win your parlay because Kukesi is playing 11 players in defence. They are closed in and are waiting for the opponents to make the first move. On the other hand Qarabag is not playing clear.
I have a single of Qarabag to win but I placed an X draw result during 25 minute of first half with 3.3 odd. I should win because the first bet I placed yesterday with an odd of 1.99 Qarabag. I doubt Kukesi will win.
