Midweek Stoppage Time Recap — Big Hits, Big Laughs, and One More Game to Go 🎯
Wednesday Wins: BTTS Drama, ATGS Cashes, and Late-Night Action to Come 🌙
Buckets and special guest Andrew Passaro brought the heat on today’s live show, and so did the betting board. As we wait for Buckets' longshot (+240 draw in LAFC vs. Inter Miami) to finish off the night 🌙, let’s take stock of a rollercoaster day filled with plus-money pops, stoppage-time drama, and a few sharp reminders that this game will humble you quick.
Andrew kicked things off with a tidy +115 cash on BTTS & Over 2.5 in Bournemouth-Ipswich, a match that delivered exactly the chaos he projected. Buckets, meanwhile, leaned into Bournemouth early (-120 1H ML) and was burned by a well-drilled Ipswich side that turned the tables late. Lessons learned: don’t count on clean halves from teams on a slide. 📉
The Marmoush winner (-115 ATGS) was a beauty. With Haaland out, Buckets identified value in City's new focal point and nailed it. Moments later, his Pavlidis call (+110 ATGS) rang true as well — a player he hyped as underrated and inevitable. Two plus-money wins, two surgical reads. 🎯💸
🪣🪣🪣 📢 “Benfica’s Pavlidis is truly one of the best strikers and frankly, I think one of the most underrated strikers in Europe right now… take him to score, take him to get one, take him to get two, take him to get a hat trick ladder and have some fun.”
We also saw another example of betting heartbreak avoidance when Crystal Palace cashed BTTS (-120) in stoppage time. Mateta didn’t score, but the logic was right. Same for Brentford DC (+110) — Buckets nailed the handicap but watched it slip away late. We’re reminded: betting often asks the visiting team to make magic late. Sometimes it hits. Sometimes it doesn’t. ⏱️
Andrew was sharp again in Milan-Inter, taking a 1H Under 0.5 at +182 that cruised. His show debut was a strong one despite Brighton ML (+105) missing. His insights, especially on Crystal Palace's surge and Salah’s value, made for excellent live analysis. 🔍
🏆 Biggest Win Vangelis Pavlidis ATGS (+110) — “Take him to score, take him to get one, take him to get two, take him to get a hat trick ladder and have some fun,” Buckets said — and sure enough, the Benfica striker delivered again.
🧠 Smartest Read Under 0.5 Goals 1H in Milan-Inter (+182) — Andrew spotted a cagey start coming, and the match followed suit. Sharp, simple, profitable.
🫣 Toughest Loss Brentford Double Chance (+110) — A well-handicapped pick that unraveled late. Right side, wrong result.
📢 Quote of the Day
“The only joy I’m getting so far out of the bottom half of the table is that Spurs are 14th. I think that’s hilarious.”
🎥 In case you missed it, the full replay of today’s Wednesday live show is now available to watch. Beyond the picks, it was 45+ minutes of good vibes, tactical insight, and a few questionable pronunciations of Polish teams. A great one. 😄
📅 And we’re just getting started: we’ll be back Friday with a full betting preview for the weekend, and again next Monday with picks for every quarterfinal match in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League (hi Chelsea!). 🚀
